Ricky Davis + Chris Meem + Lee Neyron + Jeff McGinnis were sent to the Celtics.

And the Cavaliers got Eric Williams + Tony Barty + J· R. Bremer + Martin Cliffors + 2006 first-round pick.

It's a deal involving eight players and a future draft pick, and while it's not a superstar, it's a real big deal.

After all, there are not many 8-man trades in NBA history.

The most famous of them is Ricky Davis, who had 20.6 points, 4.9 rebounds, 5.5 assists and 1.6 steals last season, and this season has slipped to 15.3 points, 5.5 rebounds, 5 assists and 1.1 steals.

In addition, Meme and McGinnis are also the main rotation players for the Cavaliers, and their strength should not be underestimated.

On the Celtics' side, the most valuable thing is a future first-round pick.

All four players are just regular rotation players.

Eric Williams, a small forward, is averaging 9.4 points, 3.8 rebounds and 1.9 assists per game this season.

Tony Barty, who can play the No. 4 and No. 5 positions, averages 5.4 points and 4.5 rebounds per game.

J· R. Bremer is a short point guard who averages 3.5 points, 1.1 rebounds and 1.3 assists per game.

Martin Cliffors, who can play the No. 1 and No. 2 positions, averages 3.8 points, 1.8 rebounds and 4.8 assists per game, but he is in the midst of injuries and can play is still a problem.

The deal sparked a big media discussion.

First, there's the attitude of the Cavaliers, who chose James over Davis. There's no doubt that James is the cornerstone of the future of this Cavaliers team.

The departure of Davis has allowed James to have more balls, and his crisis will be solved, and there will inevitably be an outburst after that.

In fact, as long as the Cavaliers management is not blind, they will choose James, who has visible talent and has just turned 19 years old, which is full of expectations.

After that, the media discussed the gains and losses of the two teams.

The Cavaliers cleaned up Ricky Davis and McGinnis for the obvious purpose of providing enough room for James and Ye Feng to develop.

And the 2006 first-round pick proves that the Cavaliers want the future, not the present.

The four rotation players are all average role players who don't occupy the ball and just fill the team's gaps.

Mime, who can only defend, is replaced by Tony Barty, who has the ability to shoot and can grab rebounds, is considered an upgrade.

Eric Williams can replace Ricky Davis in the starting position, although the ability is relatively poor, but it is more than enough to be a starter.

The two guards are used as substitutes for Ye Feng.

In summary, the knight's strength is declining now, but in the long run, it is a good deal, and it can be regarded as earned.

On the Celtics' side, getting Ricky Davis and McGinnis is the instant combat power, which shows that the Celtics want now.

The existence of the two of them is to be a helper for "Truth" Pierce and rush to this year's playoffs.

With the Celtics, there aren't as many offensive points, and Davis and McGinnis are bound to get more opportunities and have a good chance of getting a new lease on life.

So, the Celtics also earned it.

All in all, it's a win-win deal, and both sides have achieved their goals.

It's just that, in addition to the issue of interests, Ye Feng is still a little sad and reluctant.

Speaking of which, his relationship with Davis and Lee Nayron is not good, just the extent of meeting and greeting.

But Mime has a good relationship with Ye Feng, because Ye Feng will always make balls for him, so Mime likes Ye Feng very much.

As for McGinnis, he had the biggest conflict with Ye Feng at the beginning, but later the contradiction was resolved, and the relationship between the two got better and better.

In any case, even if they are strangers, they have been training and fighting together for nearly 2 months, and they have feelings.

Ye Feng looked at his teammates who were together every night, silently packed up his package, and left with his head down, with an indescribable feeling in his heart.

In the end, Ye Feng still stepped forward and hugged the four of them, wishing them better opportunities.

The two young men, Mime and Lee Nayron, were still a little lost, and a very reluctant smile appeared on their faces.

But McGinnis smiled brightly and seemed to be indifferent. That's right, the veteran has been fighting in this league for many years and wandering a lot, and the Celtics are just his seventh home team, so what's the difference between them and the Cavaliers in the sixth? He's used to it.

The most disappointed is Davis, who is only 24 years old this year, and he is a young man in society.

Recently, he has been playing better and better, the media is praising him, the management and the coaching staff are praising him, and it seems that he has forgotten his previous conflicts with Paul.

Just last night, he fantasized about leading the young Cavaliers to the playoffs. But the next day, he was told that he was sent to the Celtics, how could he not be disappointed?

"I thought I was the boss of this team and James was just drafted to help me. Unexpectedly, he is the boss, and I am just a supporting role. ”

In an interview with the media, Davis said these words listlessly, which drew ridicule from the media.

I don't know why, the frog at the bottom of the well can't see his position clearly, and he doesn't know how much he weighs......

The media is full of ridicule.

For a while, Davis became a joke, and he didn't know how many pounds and taels he had.

In his previous life, when Ye Feng was a fan, he also laughed at Davis like this.

But now, being in it, Ye Feng has a different feeling.

Lamentable? Saddened? Sympathize?

Ye Feng couldn't say it clearly, in short, he felt very uncomfortable.

Regardless, Davis was the boss of this team and fought for this team.

But because the team had better options, Davis was immediately abandoned.

Yes, Davis doesn't have a good brain, but he shouldn't be ridiculed like this. He regards himself as the boss, and it is not a sign of courage to take responsibility.

Thinking of Davis, Ye Feng thought of himself again.

Is it that one day, when the Cavaliers have a better option, they will also be the one to be sent away?

......

After the trade, the coaching staff divided the work and had one-on-one conversations with the remaining players to calm the emotions and hope that everyone would not be affected too much.

Talking to Ye Feng was the chief assistant coach Brandon Malone, the two were very familiar, and Malone, who also revealed some inside information to Ye Feng.

"When Davis and Paul had a conflict, management was going to send Davis away. The reason why he continues to play for a long time is to let him brush data and have greater transaction value. ”

"Send Davis away, not just for James, but for you. Paul intends to form a core lineup of James + Boozer + you, and the big Z is also older, so he can only take you with him, and there are not a few years left at the peak. So it's imperative to send Davis away, otherwise you three young players won't get the opportunity to develop, and before they grow up, Big Z will be old. ”

"Danny Ferry was going to exchange for more things, but unfortunately his opponent was the cunning Angie, who broke the contradictions of the Cavaliers with one sentence, and Davis's data dropped sharply, and Danny could only admit it."
