On the morning of January 17, 2005, there was a high-profile trade in the NBA. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

The quality of the players in this trade is average, but it contains a very topical player.

The Bobcats and Pistons completed the trade, with the Bobcats sending Primoz Blazek for the Pistons' '03 pick Darko Milicic and '90-year-old Derrick Coleman, as well as the Pistons' 2005 first-round pick and the signing rights of overseas player Carlos Delfino.

The Pistons get Primoz Blazek.

As soon as the deal came out, the fans blew up.

The first is that the Pistons were originally strong, and now they are stronger, and this reinforcement is clearly aimed at the Heat.

Blazek averaged 8.2 points and 7.7 rebounds per game this season, with outstanding characteristics, large tonnage, and can carry people inside. During Ye Han's injury period, Blazek brushed up several consecutive games, although he has not been allowed to play in several games recently, but there are many teams that covet him, among which the Pistons, the main rival of the Heat, ranks first in the list.

Blazek's height and tonnage make up for the Pistons' interior height, and Ben Wallace also has someone to defend O'Neal when he is resting.

People don't want to watch the Pistons play the Finals anymore, but according to the current situation, the Pacers have collapsed, the Heat haven't won against the Pistons this season, and this time the Pistons are still reinforced, and people are going to start complaining again.

Second, the topic of this trade is not about the trade itself, but about the draft conference of two years ago.

Looking at the top five picks that year, except for Milicic, the others are all the pillars of their respective teams, and they will be at least All-stars in the future, and Milicic ...... It's been a season and a half now, and I've played just 50 times.

Not to mention the strength of Milicic himself, he was able to be selected in the top spot, which proves that he is indeed outstanding, and he is very good, which will give the management of the Pistons so much determination not to choose Carmelo Anthony, one of the top favorites, but to choose him.

But since he was chosen, he was not given a chance to play, and his talent could not be shown, and Milicic only got a total of 34 opportunities to play in his rookie year, with an average of less than 10 minutes per game.

This is going to talk about the coach of the Pistons, Larry Brown, first of all, the Pistons led by Larry Brown, which is a perennial powerhouse in the Eastern Conference, and in the 02-03 season, it was the first in the East and a championship-level team. The Pistons were lucky enough to pick the '03 draft pick from an inconsequential trade six years ago and then drafted Milicic.

At that time, Milicic, who had just turned 18 years old, was very average, that is, the so-called young player who sold talent. Seventy-one inches, that is, two meters and one five meters tall, 110 kilograms in weight, excellent mobility, soft touch of Europeans...... Everything is written in two words - potential.

If you want Milicic to play well, it will take at least a lot of time to develop, and the growth of the interior is often relatively long, not to mention the young center at the age of 18.

But Larry Brown obviously can't wait, and now that the team's core is at its peak, the team is at its best, and he can't afford to give Milicic too much time to level up.

And Larry Brown, like Jordan, is a very strict coach, Milicic, an 18-year-old child, has neither the experience of Ye Han who left his hometown to study in high school in the United States at an early age, nor the experience of self-reliance and self-improvement like James, nor the big heart of Kobe. Just like Kwame Brown, Jordan's champion back then, Milicic was the pick of the draft year, and the top five picks of the year were all very good, he was under more pressure, coupled with Larry Brown's scolding, he soon gave up on himself, and only played in garbage time when there was a big split in the game, and he was nicknamed Victory Cigar, which means that he represented victory when he played...... It doesn't matter if it's an opponent or your own team.

And there are really not many opportunities for a team like the Pistons to open the score, they mainly play defense, offense is average, even if they can win a lot of games, it is difficult to have a situation where the score is opened, so Milicic has no chance to play. By January '04, the Pistons acquired Rasheed Wallace, a top-10 power forward in the league, and Milicic was even less likely to play.

Now, a year and a half later, the Pistons have completely abandoned Milicic. Pistons management can't blame Larry Brown, who won the championship again after a decade of absence, and is on the way to a second two-game championship in franchise history this season, and has not given Milicic patience.

This time, they can get Meat Shield center Blazek, a substitute who can carry O'Neal to strengthen the team's interior strength, and in order to get rid of Milicic's expensive contract on the list, the Pistons would rather lose their first-round draft picks than get Blazek.

By the way, the Pistons got rid of Derrick Coleman's $3 million contract, freeing up salary space and space to make reinforcements ahead of the trade deadline and playoff clarification day.

Coleman, the top pick at the end of the black-and-white era, was thinking of winning a championship in the Pistons this year, but the Pistons pointed to him who was still old and averaged 12 points and 8 rebounds per game in the second half of last season, and gave him a generous contract of 3 million a year.

Who knew that Coleman continued to suffer injuries after coming to the Pistons, and after his return, he no longer had the courage of last season, and his value was about the same as that of Milicic, and his playing time was getting less and less.

Taking advantage of the Bobcats' request for a first-round pick, the Pistons sent Coleman to the Bobcats, and as for Carlos Delfino, who is still playing in Europe, has never been called by the Pistons. Probably their management learned a lesson from Milicic, getting a young player from Europe has no time to develop, it can only be a waste of money and team personnel, and the Bobcats, who are very short of people, want it, so they give it.

The trade brings the Bobcats, who were previously putting together the league's minimum 12-man roster, to 14.

Both commentators and expert fans are optimistic about the Bobcat and Pistons trade.

People think it's a win-win deal, the Pistons keep Milicic is also a waste of the talent of this 19-year-old teenager, the draft picks at the end of the first round are useless to them, the potential player can't be selected, and the selection will not be cultivated, and it is better to rely on strength to attract veterans and strength players to join, which is much more reassuring than a rookie with instant combat power.

It's just that next time I have to be optimistic, if I can only protect the water dispenser like Coleman and my strength suddenly declines to the retirement level, I will have to send it away in vain.
