Hayes' appearance led to a series of butterfly effects. Last season, the Bobcats lineup still had a lot of shortcomings, and the defense was seriously porous, and there were teams that could hold it down. This season, Hayes used his memories of his past life to turn the Bobcats into a star-studded superpowerhouse.

Gerard Wallace, Chauncey Billups, and Kevin Durant are all All-Star players. It's just that Wallace and Durant haven't made a name for themselves, and the Bobcats have actually formed the Big Four.

In order not to let the Bobcats dominate, several rich and powerful giants began to form star teams, and the Lakers bore the brunt. They felt Artest wasn't strong enough and sought a trade on the grounds that Artest wasn't a good fit for triangle offense, with the Wizards targeting Caron Butler, who was competing with Zach Randolph.

Wizards manager Glenfield was struggling to solve the problem of how to solve the disagreement between the two leading stars, and the Lakers came to the door and he felt like he had grasped a lifeline. The Wizards also took a fancy to the Thunder's Rashad Lewis before, but the Thunder wanted a guard, not a small forward, so they had to give up.

Artest was once voted the league's best defensive player, and although his recent form has been poor and he has caused some trouble, his strength is not much different from Butler's. And most importantly, Artest has a lower annual salary than Butler, so if the Lakers want to make a trade, the Wizards can also let them post other players in order to get the salary equal.

The Wizards want Lakers three-point forward Radmanovic on a five-year, $30.25 million contract that expires in 2011. Because the team brought in Artest and Ariza, and Gasol and Odom at the power forward position, Radmanovic, who started 41 games last season, has no place in the Lakers, but this person has the strength, the Wizards lack a pitcher on the outside, and Grunfield believes that the Lakers are willing to let go.

There are still objections from the top of the Wizards. Acting head coach Tapscot said: "I'm against trading Artest. Artest has a problematic surname, and it may exacerbate the team's conflicts when he comes. He is not convinced by anyone in the Lakers except Kobe, can he listen to Zach (Randolph) with peace of mind when the Wizards come? I think it would be nice for the two of them to get together and not fight. And the Lakers are a team that has the potential to win the championship, how will Artest feel when he goes from a championship team to a team outside the playoffs? Whether he wants to come or not is still a question! ”

In the summer, the Wizards fired former head coach Eddie Jodang, and Tupsicote was only the acting head coach for the transition period, but he was very responsible for the team.

"Whether Artest is willing to transfer or not, it's not up to him to decide." Grunfield didn't care. Not only does he want Artest now, but he's also fantasizing about Randolph's qualified replacement, Radmanovic, and by the way, clearing out an unused player to go to the Lakers, so he hopes for a deal.

"It's not going to work. In the past, the Kings traded with the Pacers, and it was almost canceled because Artest refused to report for duty. Those were still two teams of similar strength, and now we are far worse than the Lakers. Tapscot stuck to his point: "And I think Caron (Butler) is better than Artest!" We're helping the Lakers piece together a championship lineup! ”

"Our team is now going to rebuild with the interior players at the core, Artest has always been known for being tough, and he will definitely help the Wizards when he comes, and if he doesn't want to come, it's not too late to cancel the trade. I think it's an opportunity, and preferably a point guard or center from the Lakers. Glenfield ignored Tapscot's suggestion.

After the trade, the Lakers will indeed become stronger, but even if they don't trade, the championship will not have a share of the Wizards. Not to mention the Finals, if you don't start rebuilding, it will be difficult for the Wizards to enter the playoffs, and it is likely that they will go to the mixed lottery area. After the draft, the Wizards have several potential players on the outside, last year's Nick Young and this year's Eric Gordon are both good, but the Wizards have shortcomings on the inside, center Brandon Haywood is injured, and can only use Etang Thomas and Andre Bletche to play. After Randolph came off the court, backup power forward Darius Sangeira was also poor.

In fact, as long as the Wizards use Andre Bleche to play power forward, they will achieve unexpected results. Blache is 211cm tall, but he is not strong enough, and he can play more powerful as a power forward.

Now the Wizards are ready to send Bleche away as well, because he and Butler have the best relationship on the team and disagree with Randolph. And Blecher's performance on the field is acceptable, but off the field is a big surprise, and he has been arrested for driving without a license and harassing plainclothes policewomen, such a style and conduct make the Wizards dare not reuse him. With Randolph at the power forward position, Bleche rarely got to play, averaging only 3.7 points and 3.4 rebounds per game.

The Wizards replied that the Lakers were willing to trade, but with a few more traders. Butler, Bligh switch Artest, Rademanovic. But the salary is still not equal, and the Lakers need to send one more person, or a second-round pick. The Lakers have a lot of momentum this season, and of course the Wizards don't want the Lakers' second-round picks, which are all at the end of the second round, and the chances of selecting good players are too low to make any sense.

The Wizards could pick a low-paid guy to scrape together enough money and start they wanted "Birdman" Chris Anderson, but the Lakers wouldn't agree. Anderson is already an important member of the rotation. The Wizards want Farmar again, and the Lakers don't want either, Farmar is still a 4-year, 4.98 million rookie contract, which expires in 2010, and he is now an important backup for Fisher, with a low salary and high energy. The Lakers are only willing to send guard Sun Yue. In this way, the wizard will not agree again, and Sun Yue can only send it to the Development Alliance when he comes, otherwise will he be a mascot?

In the end, the Wizards selected the Lakers' backup center, DJ Mbemba. Mbenga doesn't play much with the Lakers, but he does defensively and has a base salary. The Wizards want to use Mbenga to strengthen the interior defense, and Randolph is one offense and one defense to sit on the inside.

The Wizards thought it was a good deal because Blecher's defense was so good that he was blown out in almost every game. In fact, Bletcher's attack power is very strong. If it weren't for Randolph grabbing the ball and not passing, he would at least be able to average 10 points per game. The Wizards traded like this, which is equivalent to giving away an attacker to the Lakers for nothing. This deal is not shady, it is shady...... The Lakers sent Artest without having to hurt their muscles and bones on the lineup, and happily agreed to the trade.

As soon as Butler and Bleche heard that they were going to the Lakers, they were so excited that they couldn't sleep, and finally they didn't have to look at Randolph's lazy face in the locker room, and there was the possibility of getting a championship ring, and everyone would be happy.

On the Lakers side, Radmanovic and Mbenga are very open. Especially Mbemben, he can't get into the rotation lineup in the Lakers, and he can still get a chance to play in the Wizards. But the "savior" Artest was directly furious! He is to clean up Hayes, the mixed championship ring to the Lakers, he has only played for less than half a season and is about to be traded, and he is a bad team Wizards in the East, how can he be willing?

But it's useless to be unwilling.

In the NBA, trades do not have to be negotiated with players and must be executed. The exception to this rule is that there is a contract that will not be traded for several years, in which case the team will have to pay liquidated damages. Artest had this in his contract with the Pacers back then, and now with the Lakers, he thinks he is an All-Star level and can't be traded, so he didn't add this to his contract.

In the absence of this special clause, if the exchanged player does not agree to the exchange and refuses to report to the new team, there is a minimum deadline for the arrival of the player, after which the player's contract will be automatically cancelled, which means that the player is unemployed, and the player should also compensate the team after the exchange according to the specific content of the contract. No player is willing to pay tens of millions of dollars for freedom...... The reason why an NBA player refuses to report and the team plans to trade another is that the player can report but is passive on the court, so the exchange value of the player will be greatly reduced, so usually they will find a way to do the player's work or trade it suddenly, and trade it out at all costs, and the player has no right to resist. This is the case with Artest. Unbeknownst to him, he was suddenly told that he had traded to the Wizards.

Artest made a fuss, scolding the Lakers for being despicable and shameless in front of the media, and finally had to report to the Wizards.

The Lakers trade is complete. Although they only have 13 people now, they are indeed not inferior to the luxury lineup of the Bobcats.

Centres: Andrew Bynum, Chris Anderson.

Power forwards: Pau Gasol, Lamar Odom, Andre Blecher.

Small forwards: Caron Butler, Trevor Ariza.

Shooting guards: Kobe Bryant, Jason Capo, Sun Yue.

Point guards: Derrick Fisher, Shannon Brown, Jordan Farmar.

When Hayes saw the news of another trade from the Lakers, he wasn't as indifferent as Cappono was when he arrived with the Lakers. He played against Caron Butler, who is definitely an All-Star caliber player, an all-around warrior at the small forward position, and much better on the offensive end than Artest.

Then there's Bletcher. Hayes remembers that this man is also very good, and when Arenas, Butler, Jamison and others were injured and unable to play, he propped up the team's offense, and scored more than 15 points in less than 30 minutes, and his statistics soared. Originally, if Pau Gasol was off, the Lakers' interior offense would be weaker, but with Bleche as an attacker, the Lakers' bench offense would not be too bad.

Back in the summer of 2007, when the Bobcats were choosing to trade players, Hayes had considered Blecher, but at that time Blecher was still very young, the offense was not practiced, and the defense was very bad. So Hayes is ready to let him be "raised" by the Wizards and consider him when no one is available on the inside. Now there is no chance, this fierce man has also transferred, and he is in the camp of the biggest competitor.

Hayes felt a little depressed, although he lost to the Lakers in the first meeting, Hayes believes that if the two teams meet in the playoffs, the probability of the Bobcats winning is at least 80%, and now the two sides are very close. With Butler as the starting small forward, the Lakers' offense will definitely be more stable, and there will be no more Artest snatching the right shot. And Butler is still a macho man who can play an average of 40 minutes per game and is still full of physical strength.

Kobe, Gasol, Odom, Butler. The Lakers have now made up the Big 4. The quartet is no less than the Bobcats.

The Lakers made an All-Star lineup with luck without crossing men, and the Wizards played a key role. As an eastern team, it has sent talent to western teams. Hayes thought hatefully...... Are all wizards alive?
