Chapter 468: Business is business after all

After falling, Ye Xuan knew that what he was most afraid of finally happened, but in this way, he could rest for a long time, although there may be some disappointment for the fans, but this is undoubtedly not bad news for Ye Xuan. But although Ye Xuan's abacus played well, the Pacers' sub-uniform group obviously didn't think so, after the lack of core players in the finals last season and the final loss of the championship, Kevin Pritchard has secretly decided not to allow this kind of thing to happen, indeed, in terms of the comprehensive performance in the regular season and the playoffs, whether it is the Cavaliers or the Pacers, they are stronger than last year's final champion Warriors when they are healthy, The Pacers even fought with their opponents for 6 games without Ye Xuan, and finally had to hate.

So in the case of the same strong strength this season, their goal is still only one, that is, to win the championship, no matter what hinders them from winning the championship, he will choose to solve this trouble without hesitation, and Ye Xuan, who was injured again at this critical moment, unfortunately became that 'trouble'.

"I'm Kevin Pritchard, restart the trading plan about that Chinese, I don't think he'll be able to stay healthy." After saying that, Kevin Pritchard hung up the dot, on one side is Ye Xuan's injury report this time, and the other is the report of the risk assessment consultant, the conclusions in these two reports are surprisingly consistent, that is, Ye Xuan is likely to become the next Derrick Rose, Rose's athleticism is seriously impaired after the injury, resulting in a significant decline in offensive efficiency now, although Ye Xuan's injury is not so powerful, but because Ye Xuan's cruciate ligament is ruptured again, so the team doctor's report explains, Ye Xuan's injury is likely to evolve into that kind of habitual injury, in other words, even if Ye Xuan's combat effectiveness will still be in the future, but this injury may also turn him into a glass man, coupled with the experience of Yao Ming and Yi Jianlian, the probability of recovery when the yellow race faces the injury is very low, so in the end, Kevin Pritchard finally felt that the transaction about Ye Xuan was restarted.

Although Ye Xuan's commercial value is immeasurable, it has brought a lot of extra income to the Pacers for more than a season, but on the one hand, because the owner of the Pacers is a Polis after all, and their brother took over the team not to make money, but to make the hometown team stronger and stronger, so they are different from Alexander, the owner of the Rockets, if trading Ye Xuan, a chicken who can lay golden eggs, can improve the team's chances of winning the championship, then they will definitely trade Ye Xuan without hesitation. And that's exactly what is happening now.

However, in this transaction, although the Pacers have now opened their inquiries about Ye Xuan, other teams are not stupid, and the previous trade plan for Ye Xuan was quickly canceled after Ye Xuan was injured again, because the Pelicans, who want to form the Big Three, are obviously also trading for the championship, and now Ye Xuan is still injured, and no one can know whether he can still have the original combat power, so this kind of transaction that may ruin their hopes of winning the championship, the Pelicans are naturally unwilling to do it.

And back to Ye Xuan's side, another cruciate ligament rupture means surgery and being unable to walk on the ground for up to two and a half months, which meets the requirements of breaking and standing up the capsule, so Ye Xuan also decisively chose to redeem and use this disposable prop. But at this time, he didn't know that the Pacers were ready to trade him, and while fantasizing that he would return from injury in three months, he was also bored to sneak his mind into the system and have some fun.

Time came to the end of January in a blink of an eye, Ye Xuan's surgery has been done for more than half a month, and the news that the Pacers want to trade him away has also spread in the outside world, Ye Xuan also heard about it inadvertently, which made him feel a big blow, after all, he has always been loyal to the team, and even once he wanted to live in the Pacers, but now the team he has played for the third season actually said that he would abandon it, and began to look for a home for himself when he was injured, which made Ye Xuan very angry. But there is no way, there is no way for him to change the mind of the Pacers' uniform team, and there is no way to prove that his injury is not a problem at all, and in the end he can only guess from the news which team he will end up trading to.

After nearly a month of contact and research, there were several teams that made their own offers for Ye Xuan and the huge market behind him, but these offers were undoubtedly not as valuable as Ye Xuan, who was healthy at the beginning. Of course, there are some chips in these teams that make the Pacers' top management more tempted, such as the Lakers even giving up Angelo Russell and this year's very high first-round pick for Ye Xuan, such as the 76ers who have been rebuilding, in order to trade Ye Xuan, they are also willing to pay some potential rookies they have accumulated over the years, such as interior star Jahill Okafor, such as Nolens Noll.

But these are not quite in line with the original intention of the Pacers to trade Ye Xuan, because what they need now is instant combat power, a strong firepower point, a way to help Pickle Pepper resist downforce at a critical time, and to be able to strengthen the Pacers' current outside firepower, either a strong All-Star player, or a starting point guard who is qualified enough for the Pacers' style of play, anyway, a good offer does not meet the needs of the Pacers now, these teams want to exchange draft picks or potential rookies for Ye Xuan.

So Ye Xuan's deal also had to be declared a failure in negotiations again and again, and in a blink of an eye, it came to February of 16, which was about to be an All-Star, and after the All-Star Weekend, the league's trade deadline was also coming soon, which was undoubtedly bad news for the Pacers, so after many discussions, they finally came up with a terrible trade plan, a very complicated four-way deal.

The first four parties to join this deal are the Lakers, who were very eager to get Ye Xuan from the beginning, and the Magic team, which found that their rebuilding failed this season, so they are ready to start rebuilding again, hoping to strengthen their strength before the trade deadline in the hope of making the playoffs, and the Pacers who are now eager to trade Ye Xuan.

The content of the deal is also very simple, this deal meets all the needs of the four teams, of which the Lakers have the biggest chips, because they not only gave the top pick Angelo Russell and this year's very high first-round pick, but also they are willing to add Louis Williams, who has played very well with the Lakers this season, to the trade, and their only target is Ye Xuan, the Chinese guard who has been eyed by the Lakers since soon after entering the league.

And the Pacers have only one chip, and that is Ye Xuan. Of course, only these two teams can't make this deal, because the Pacers naturally won't want some draft picks that can't help now, and a rookie who still needs a lot of ball rights to hone themselves, so this has the addition of the Magic team and the Pistons, in this deal, the Pistons are actually just a foil, and the trade chips they give are Eisen Ilyasova and Brandon Jennings, and the departure of these two people can bring a very limited amount to the Pistons. However, it is also in line with the Pistons looking for a trade to strengthen their competitiveness in the playoffs, and finally the Magic, after three seasons of training, they finally found that the list they selected in 13 is not good, although the combat power seems to be okay now, obviously not enough, so the Magic want to trade some potential rookies and draft picks when he has not signed a bigger contract, and then use the draft picks to complete another rebuild. So they chose to trade Oladipo, and at the same time, Tobias Harris.

In the final result of the trade, the Lakers will get Ye Xuan, while the Pacers will get Victor Oladipo, a strong shooting guard, Louis Williams, a super sixth man, and a three-point power forward Eisen Ilyasova who can float outside and shoot three-pointers to support the team's firepower. Naturally, the Magic got the D'Angelo Russell they wanted, the Lakers' high-pick first-round pick this year, and Brandon Jennings' bench soy sauce. Finally, there is the Pistons, who acquired Tobias Harris, a non-reactive forward who should also be able to strengthen the Pistons to some extent, after all, his defense is much stronger than Eisen's Ilyasova.

After this deal was reached, the entire league was stunned, originally after Ye Xuan's injury, after the Pacers' results fluctuated, those teams that regarded the Pacers as strong rivals all breathed a sigh of relief, because they knew that the Pacers were not able to pose too much threat to themselves this year, but they didn't expect the Pacers to trade Ye Xuan so boldly, and the reinforcement they got was not bad at all, Ye Xuan's point was that he could lead the team's offense, But after the team has Rondo this season, the task of sorting out the team's offense is no longer on Ye Xuan, and the firepower offense, Oladipo, who can contribute 17 points this season, is not bad, the most important thing is that Oladipo will not take up too many offensive opportunities, his off-ball running position is the point that the Pacers fancy, coupled with the three-point high battery Eisen-Ilyasova and Super Sixth Man Louis Williams, the Pacers' deal makes it difficult to say that he is a loss.

As for the Lakers, many people say that the Lakers are losing, after all, Kobe Bryant will retire after this season, and they are about to start a complete rebuild, so the high draft picks necessary for the rebuild and the current potential rookies will be what they need most. But the Bass family doesn't see it that way, they value the box office more, they value making money more, as for the champion? Look at the flags flying above Stamp Arena. And now that they get Ye Xuan, all this is not a problem, if Ye Xuan can return to the state of people blocking and killing people and Buddha blocking and killing Buddha when he was healthy, then the Lakers will naturally make money, and even if Ye Xuan is a glass man in the future, the economic benefits he brings are far more direct than those one or two draft picks or potential rookies, plus the Lakers can still vacate more than 3,000 salary space next season, and there is every chance to recruit another All-Star. At that time, maybe it is not impossible for the team to rise directly.

And the remaining two teams, also got what they needed, since the Magic team wants to rebuild, then the super high pick from the Lakers is naturally the key, plus their own lottery pick this season, I believe that next season's draft, the Magic team will have something to gain, and they got D'Angelo Russell is also a relatively good potential rookie, although in the first four months of this season, his performance can only be said to be average, But after all, he played next to Kobe Bryant, and he got a lot fewer opportunities, and he didn't know until he actually played with the Magic to know if he had the potential to become an All-Star. The Pistons were originally only a supporting player in this big trade, and their original plan was to tinker with their roster a little, so there is nothing to say that they will not make money, but the arrival of Tobias Harris can indeed make their No. 4 position more reliable.

In this way, Ye Xuan was traded to the Lakers, from the Pacers to the Lakers, Ye Xuan went directly from a team that had a good chance to win the championship this season to a team that was sprinting towards the champion show no matter how you look at it, which made Ye Xuan still very sad, after all, his feelings for the Pacers are still quite deep, but now that the deal has been reached, it is useless to dwell on these things.

However, coming to the Lakers also has an advantage, that is, being able to go through his last career with his idol at close range, which is also a good feeling, plus the Lakers' market is broader, and it is better for his future development, thinking about it, being traded to the Lakers is obviously not so unacceptable, but now Ye Xuan is still recuperating from his injury, so he did not go directly to Los Angeles, as for things like moving and buying a new home in Los Angeles, they are all handed over to Shen Wei to do. However, in Ye Xuan's heart, he was still a little unrelieved that the Pacers had sold themselves out so ruthlessly, and he secretly swore in his heart that the next time they met, they must let the Pacers' senior management regret all their intestines.
