From the perspective of potential, Liu Mang knows that even if Battier adds a draft pick, it will be difficult to compare with Iguodala, who has a bright future.

But looking at this problem from a practical point of view, this transaction is already a good result.

Switching to Artest, even if it is to add a draft pick to Artest, is definitely the best choice, but people don't even want to listen to the offer.

And there is one thing the Eagles can't do, and that is they can't rot the players who want to leave.

Iguodala already has a 79 ability rating in his sophomore year, and he is young enough to serve as the outside core of a rebuilding team, staying with the Eagles, with Liu Mang and Maddie, Iguodala can't fully use his talent, and the Finals can't even guarantee his playing time.

When he was in the second grade, Iguodala was willing to sacrifice because he was only in the second grade, and the team's goal was to win three consecutive championships, and even Liu Mang was willing to sacrifice.

But next season will be the third grade, and the third year has the opportunity to renew the contract early, or seek an early renewal opportunity in the fourth year, which is bound to require more ball possession and playing time, and the Hawks cannot meet it.

It's a similar situation with Josh Smith, who isn't even the second choice on the inside with the Hawks, just the third option.

What is the team culture? The main thing is not to chill the players.

The Celtics have such a glorious history, but they have ruined their team culture early.

The Eagles are just getting started and aren't going to do anything to press Josh Smith and Andre Iguodala off the bench.

A trade is inevitable, but the Hawks are too jealous right now! Any team that wins three in a row wants to trade, it has to lose.

Other teams also understood this, so they didn't make an offer to the Hawks at first, but waited until the Eagles actively sought a trade.

When the Timberwolves rejected a trade from the Hawks and made it difficult for the Hawks to ride the tiger, many teams were snickering.

Unexpectedly, the Suns and Rockets assisted one after another, allowing the Hawks to get through the difficulties all at once.

I wanted to wait for the Hawks to be "cornered", they robbed cheaply, the Suns forgot it, there is a precedent for Stoudemire, and Josh Smith has a high probability of taking off when he arrives at Nash's side.

How much does this mean by Team Rocket?

Battier is such a high-quality player who is so easy to use and can accept sacrifice, the Rockets gave the Hawks not to mention, but also posted a draft pick!

Originally, the Hawks wanted to compensate Rasheed Wallace for draft picks, and the Rockets lacked a power forward.

Although the Rockets' draft pick pick will not be particularly high, the Rockets are a very special team, no matter how bad the lineup is, they are very resilient, and they will not be easily rotten, after all, Bynum played fewer games in the rookie season, and the Rockets are only ranked seventh from the bottom, not completely rotten, but the West is too wild.

Through the Rockets' patient and full cultivation, Bynum's progress will definitely be faster than the unstable playing time in the Lakers' rookie year, plus Iguodala has played in the championship team for two years on the outside, although Iguodala is still young, but at least has a clear core, unlike last season, the Rockets scored double-doubles with seven players, and Bynum averaged 12 points per game to be the second on the team.

But even if the Rockets improve, this draft pick is estimated to be between eight and twelve picks, the Hawks are taking advantage, the Rockets want to protect the top three picks, it's just a gamble of luck, after all, they have also had such a predicted pick before, and they got Yao Ming......

A rare discovery of conscience from the Hawks management, but the Rockets said they didn't want to, and Iguodala was enough.

When Liu Mang heard this, he felt that there was really a problem with the management of the Rockets, a problem with IQ, and they could always miss the outstanding power forwards.

Rashid Wallace, they actually worry about character problems don't!

Look at Bynum's brain, wouldn't it be better to have a fierce guy like Rashid Wallace in charge?

However, Liu Mang thinks that maybe Rashid Wallace is more efficient as a center this season, and he is afraid that he will overpower Bynum, who is not yet 19 years old, after all, this is the second Olajuwon they dream of, and they would rather raise it slowly than have an unexpected situation.

The Rockets' selection of Rudy Gay this summer was a big reason why they wanted to send Battier away.

Unlike Maddie, who sent Guy to trade for Battier in the plane, this time they needed talent more.

Iguodala, Gay, and Bynum, the three potential stocks in grades 1 to 3, give them the possibility of looking forward to the future.

On the Hawks' side, after getting Sean Battier, they immediately split the middle-class clause and reached a contract extension with Battier with a 3-year 13.5 million contract.

The Eagles now have one question left, helping Rasheed Wallace find a home......

I originally wanted to pack it up and send it away, but I didn't expect Rashid Wallace to be left alone in the end.

This is a headache for the Eagles management, how to find a suitable home?

But it's not a big problem, I really can't find a suitable one, keep it......

On top of that, there's Prince's contract extension, which is a big key issue this summer, and it's important how to deal with it.

……

Liu Mang's side is promoting sneakers in Asia, and the last 9th to 15th are the last six stops in China, and he can't go to the United States for a while.

He didn't intervene too much this summer, and he didn't offer to make a trade, because he knew that one thing was inevitable this summer, and not many teams would really talk to them and want to make a profit.

This summer is not suitable for Liu Mang to trade.

It's just that I didn't expect the team to be so decisive and break up the team!

Now the core starting lineup of Liu Mang, Maddy, Marion, and Kwame Brown is formed, and the starting choice for the small forward position is doubtful, Battier and Prince, and in the end it depends on what the team does, Prince has a parent contract extension clause, just like Battier can't freely decide his future and was sent to the Hawks by the Rockets with draft picks.

Of course, the Eagles want to stay, but there are no negotiations on a contract extension, and other teams don't dare to make an offer easily.

Now the situation is very different from before Josh Smith and Iguodala were not traded, after the two overflowing talents are dealt with, there is no need for the Hawks to trade Prince, and other teams do not dare to make an offer easily, the offer is low, Prince does not agree, the offer is over...... A defensive gate that is purely defensive and otherwise average is not worth much money.

Liu Mang felt a bit of a dim offseason when the first trade broke out, and now with the trade going on, he also got a first-round draft pick, and the team still has three rookies to develop, and everything is gradually brightening!

As time passed, Liu Mang gradually had a clear idea of his future plans!

The "savings" have been used up, and you can "save money" while competing for the championship!
