"There's a move from Heat management, Pat. Riley was quiet for half a summer, and this time he shot frighteningly fast...... "Sam. Bernie relayed to Addison on the phone about the Heat's trade moves, "If I'm right, they should have been in contact with Nets management a long time ago, just waiting to sign and trade." ”

Just when Addison was still participating in the round-robin warm-up game in Puerto Rico with the Canadian national team, the Heat, who had not moved much for the first two months, suddenly officially announced that they had taken out small forward James Brown. Ennis, shooting guard Taylor. Johnson plus a 2017 first-round pick in exchange for two rookies selected by the Brooklyn Nets this year. Hollis. Jefferson and Josh. Richardson.

The Nets were in early July with Hollis. Jefferson signed with him, and then in mid-July he signed with Josh. Richardson has officially signed a contract, and now the time is late August, just in time for the two teams to complete the sign-and-trade deal. The league's top brass had already approved the deal, and the Heat had it almost a day later.

Hollis. Jefferson and Josh. Richardson? Who are these two people? A first-round pick with the 23rd pick and a second-round pick? Why did these two low-pick rookies appeal so much to Heat management that the Miamins were willing to give away two young players who already had playoff experience and played well and consistently?

James. Ennis was the main wing rotation player for the Heat last season, and after Wade's injury in the playoffs, he was firmly in the position of the main small forward, showing quite good defensive ability and air-cutting counterattack ability, and his projection is also improving; Taylor. Although Johnson is an undrafted rookie, he has also shone on the Heat, and in the playoffs, he averaged nearly 10 points per game and shot more than 45% from the field. It's rare to find players who are young but already have playoff experience, so why did Heat management send them away as trade chips? What exactly are the shining points of those two low-pick rookies that deserve Pat. Riley sent away two key rotation players to make room for them?

Most of the people who paid attention to it after the deal was announced were talking about it. Jefferson and Josh. Richardson's college is not a competitive basketball school in the NCAA, which leads to the performance of the two in the NCAA is not taken seriously. Basketball pundits across the country have mixed reviews of the Heat's deal, with some experts who have watched Jefferson and Richardson deeming the deal worthy of approval, while others believe that it was a bad decision to send away two key rotation players with playoff experience.

"Hollis. Jefferson and Josh. Richardson...... It's pretty much what I expected, and these are the best targets for moving chips in the team right now. Addison didn't react in particular surprise or surprise after seeing the Nets pick two Pats in a row. When Riley was concerned about the rookies, he had a hunch that the Heat's uniform team might package and trade these two, "Anyway, the Brooklyn people's task next season must be rotten, and they don't care much about what kind of players are traded and who is traded." Pat. Riley is really good at taking advantage of the situation, and his ability to act at the right time is probably enough for more than half of the team's general managers in the league to learn for ten years. ”

Although to Pat. Riley had no sense of intimacy, but Addison had to admire the 'God Operator''s strategy and decisiveness, but he was quite shocked by his resolute and unforeseen behavior of sending Ennis and Johnson away. Just like Sam. If there's one flaw in Riley's role as general manager, it's undoubtedly his cold-blooded, iron-fisted style of controlling the team. A hawkish manager and a cold-blooded manager can be completely different things, Greg Murphy. Popovich and RC. Buford, who is behind the scenes of the Spurs, are absolute hawks, but they are not cold-blooded at all about the way players and the locker room get along, on the contrary, the atmosphere in the Spurs team has been the most harmonious in the league for more than ten years...... Blindly using an iron-fisted style to manage the team will eventually lead to conflicts one day, and once they erupt, they will not be simple small conflicts.

Previously, Wade's contract extension with management after jumping out of the contract consumed each other for more than a month, and the 'Flashes' hoped to sign a three-year, $45 million contract for the rest of Miami. Riley, however, is adamantly reluctant to give the 33-year-old Wade such a contract. A reporter revealed that Pat. Riley had hoped that Wade would not jump out of his contract and either sign a contract with a lower salary or leave when his contract expired in the summer of 2016, so that the Heat could clear more salary space to chase Kevin. A superstar like Durant. Wade & Pat. Riley's conflict was directly stabbed in front of the media exposure, when Addison was still on his own 'Asia tour', even then he firmly stated in the media interview that he hoped that the team management would give Wade enough respect, and that the 'Flash' had enough qualifications and ability to get the contract he wanted. In this kind of thing, Addison didn't care whether or not he would anger Pat. As a sophomore, Riley may not be qualified to meddle in the management of the team, but Riley's behavior has violated his bottom line as a Heat player.

In the end, Wade signed a short-term contract with the Heat for 1 year and $20 million, and it is said that this contract was directly found by Wade to the Heat owner Mickey. Alison talks. Pat. Riley didn't budge until the end, so much so that Allison had to step in and order management to sign Wade, which kept the Heat soul......

Maybe Addison should be glad Pat. Riley is also 70 years old, and no matter how energetic he is, he will not be able to continue to sit firmly in the position of general manager of the Heat for a long time. And Sam. Bernie's focus is on this right now, and the young agent's biggest ambition for himself is to complete the control of a team's core team, and if this ambition is to be realized, the controlling Pat is very ambitious. Riley will certainly be a stumbling block in front of him.

Today, the two new stars on the Heat's inside and outside, Addison and Whiteside, are both Sam. Bernie's players, it can be said that his first step to penetrate the core team has been completed, and the next thing to do is to wait patiently. Dwyan. Wade is 33 years old, Chris. Bosh is 31 years old...... As long as Addison and Whiteside grow steadily, it is absolutely impossible for those two veterans to compete with them in the core voice in two or three years.

"Add, if you can, help me keep an eye on Hollis next season. Jefferson and Josh. Richardson, get in touch with them a little more. "Sam. Bernie pleaded to the Chinese point guard, "I heard that Hollis. Jefferson's agent had promised him that he would be the top pick in the lottery, and Jefferson was unhappy with the agent because of his current draft pick. Can you help me test the truth of this news? ”

The corners of Addison's mouth curled, how could he not hear Sam. What does Bernie mean? It's not uncommon for brokers in business alliances to poach each other. Bernie has gradually made a name for himself in the agent world because of Addison and Whiteside, and is no longer the rookie he once was.

"I'll give it a try, Sam, after all, we're on the same line. I will try to expand your vested interest as much as possible, because that will also be my vested interest. ”

Addison gave the trade news to James. Ennis and Taylor. Johnson talked, and both players didn't complain anything about being traded, and it was clear that they both understood the rules and nature of the business league. At the end of the day, Ennis and Johnson were traded to a team like the Nets, which is already determined to play badly, and they will undoubtedly have more opportunities to get a regular position and play time, and the increase in stats may make them appreciated by more teams' uniforms next season.

It's been a well-known fact in the league for decades that bad teams are good for those who want to brush up on the data...... Addison has also adjusted to the fact that his teammates who had been playing together before left the locker room the next moment, and he can only say goodbye to these two teammates who have helped him a lot in the playoffs.

On the other hand, the Canadian national team's warm-up match in Puerto Rico ended with a four-game winning record, and Addison played an average of 20.4 minutes per game in four games, and was able to score 13.7 points, 7.6 assists, 2.6 rebounds and 2.2 steals. Because it was just a warm-up game, Addison only showed 60% of his strength at most, and he was more about creating space for his teammates to test the quality of each teammate and discover their best duties on the court. Andrew. Wiggins was a big hit in the round-robin game with Addison's deliberate pass-and-control feeding, averaging 18.3 points, 4.9 rebounds, 2.1 assists and 1.3 steals in 22.7 minutes per game while shooting 52.8% from the field, and was named the best performer in the round-robin.

'They've been very well-rounded right now, with a very good playmaker, a lot of firepower, and even a surprising defence. At least on the outside, it's hard for me to find their weaknesses...... "The head coach of the Bolivian national team lamented after the match against Canada, "If they still have this kind of fighting power in the next US Championships, then I think they will undoubtedly be the most feared opponents in the eyes of all the participating countries." ”

After the round-robin warm-up game, the Canadian national team also officially completed the team personnel cut, and announced their 12-man squad for the 2015 US Championships-

Center: Kelly. Olynyk (Celtic), Robert. Thackeray (Lakers)

Forward: Andrew. Wiggins (Timberwolves), Anthony. Bennett (Timberwolves), Andrew. Nicholson (Magic), Erwin. Agim (Magic), Dwight. Powell (Mavericks), Aaron. Dunecamp (German League)

Defender: Addison. Ann (Heat), Corey. Joseph (Raptors), Nick. Stauskas (76ers), Phil. Scarluble (Greek League)

For Jamal. Murray was ultimately not selected for the national team, and Addison still felt that it was a pity. The 18-year-old guard will enter the University of Kentucky for the NCAA next season, and he is ranked No. 6 in the ESPN2015 high school rankings. Although he has a lot of talent and skills, Murray is still a little too young, too immature and easy to panic in the face of the old fritters on the international stage. He also needs to hone his ability to work on the bench and on-court experience as a professional basketball player in the NCAA and even the NBA, and hopefully see him on the national team squad at the 2016 Olympics.

After the final rest of the Canadian national team, the whole team assembled and flew to Mexico City. There, the championship of the Americas is beckoning to them.
