Chapter 142: The World Is Full of Clippers (Part II)
"Richard Jefferson Stays at the Spurs, San Antonio Luxury Quartet" - ESPN's official website June 29 headlines!
At the end of the draft, the transfer market opened, and the first trade of the offseason was officially born, and the Milwaukee Bucks will be an All-Star small forward. Jefferson sent to the San Anio Spurs and the Spurs sent defensive specialist Bruce. Bowen, Couto. Thomas and center Oberto, and then the Bucks traded Oberto from the Pistons for Amir. Johnson.
The San Antonio Spurs, who made it to the first round of the West last season, came to Richard Brown. Jefferson, next season plus a healthy Argentine demon knife Ji after the 80s Shaolin abbot confirmed the deal, all the uniform groups in the West are secretly frightened, after all, the Spurs without Jefferson is already the object that the teams dare not despise, and now it will be terrifying to find Jefferson to form a Big Four lineup.
"Steve, the Los Angeles Clippers gave their proposal, and I think it's the most reasonable one." The assistant hurriedly pushed Steve away. The door to Cole's office.
"What proposal?" Hearing the words of the assistant, Steve. Cole's curiosity was piqued.
"Their program is Steve. Novak and Sam Kassel, a first-round pick the following year, and a $10 million trade exception in exchange for Shaquille, though they demanded to buy Sam out after the deal was completed. Kassel, this is the specific proposal, you see. As he spoke, the assistant handed the folder to Steve. Cole.
Steve. Novak (3 million, 9 million with 3 years left on the contract) + Alien Sam. Kassel (4 million) + 10 million trade exceptions + 2011 first-round picks + 3 million trade compensation cash in exchange for Big Shark O'Neal looked at the text on the folder, Steve. Cole's mind began to spin at high speed.
In fact, the most attractive thing about this contract, in addition to the 10 million trade exception that can be used, is Steve. Novak, last season Novak signed a four-year, $12 million contract with the Clippers to Knell. Olshu was laughed at as brain-dead by the rest of the uniform crew, but the contract proved to be worth a lot.
This past 08-09 season Steve. Novak's three-point shooting percentage is second in the league, second only to teammate Lin Fei, with a whopping 52.4%. He averaged 2.4 three-pointers per game, contributed 9.2 points per game to the Clippers, and played only 21.2 minutes of playing time. He also has a good sense and a positive fighting spirit, and can find open space to score under the basket. The ability to shoot in the middle is surprisingly consistent, and he knows how to use his innate advantage to make jump shots, so as to easily get the opponent down. He will use his speed and good awareness to draw fouls to cheat free throws, and even more terrifying is that he has almost 100 free throws, last season he made 100 of 103 free throws, and occasionally created opportunities for teammates to often shoot in open positions.
Thinking of this, Steve Cole had a picture of Nash and Snovac Jr. cooperating in his mind, Nash broke through to attract the defensive perimeter, Novak used his height advantage of nearly 2.10 to shoot the ball easily, or Novak tricked the defender into rushing inside and passed to Snoy for a dunk...... As for the draft pick and buying out Cassel, it doesn't matter, but like it but business is business, he looked up at his assistant, "This proposal is much better than the others, but we are not satisfied, and the Clippers say that we need the rookie they selected in the first round this year, and then add next year's first round, we give them next year's second round, and if they agree, we can apply to the league for this deal, if not, we don't have to talk about it." ”
The assistant nodded in agreement and immediately walked out of Steve. Cole's office while Steve. Cole dialed head coach De. Anthony's phone.
As teams with championship intentions such as the Clippers and Lakers and Mavericks in the West, they are all ready to move because of the Spurs trade, and they can't just watch the Spurs be strong and they are still the same, and they have begun to seek a trade or reinforcement in private.
Inside the office of the Los Angeles Lakers, Mitch. Kupchak angrily threw the documents on his desk to the ground, "Jeff, that damn vampire, 50 million in 5 years, he should go to Citibank to rob, not be a broker, damn, we absolutely can't accept such a contract, 27 million for three years is the highest price." ”
Kupchak's assistant didn't dare to gasp, for fear of offending Kupchak, who was angry.
Maybe he realized that he was very out of shape, and sorted out his clothes, "Rod, you go and tell Jeff's vampire, the maximum is 27 million for three years, no matter how high we can't accept it, if you want to extend it to four years, we will give a maximum of 4 years and 30 million, Lamar has been in good shape for the past two years, but he is 30 years old, who can guarantee his state Our Los Angeles Lakers are not wronged, and it is impossible for us to kill us." ”
Just as Kupchak was throwing a tantrum, the Jeff who was called a vampire. Schmitz was in a Los Angeles café while across from him sat Clippers general manager K. Murphy. Olshu.
"Jeff, you should consider considering us, we're also Los Angeles, we can do better." Olshu said with a smile.
"Nell, it's not that I don't think about you, you must know that the Lakers are your sworn enemies in the same city, if Lamar comes to the Clippers, I dare to guarantee that he will receive death threats, Lamar wants his future to be stable, and the Lakers are a place worth staying, he is doing well with the Lakers." Jeff Schmitz paused, took a sip of coffee, and said casually, "What's more, the 4-year 40 million contract is not bad for Lamar." ”
"Vampire, do you think I'm a fool? Four years and 40 million dreams are almost the same, and I don't believe that Kupchak guy is willing to be beaten to death. Of course, this is just what Olshu thinks in his heart, and naturally he will not show it.
"Lamar started his career with the Clippers, and everybody should have some feelings for where they started, and I'm sure Lamar will think about us if it's possible." Olshu glanced around and pushed the magazine in his hand.
"Thank you for the recommendation, I love magazines like this." Saying that, Schmitz picked up the magazine and naturally flipped to the page, with a smile on his face, "Nell, you are my good friend, Lamar will also consider the Clippers, I promise, but I think we should still talk about the specific contract." ”
"Of course!" Olshu replied with a smile, but he despised Schmitz as a vampire infinitely, but he had to disguise it in order not to travel to the West in the playoffs next season.
The camera comes to the Orlando Magic.
"We have to make reinforcements, not accept the shame of sweeping again." The monster said to the phone, his tone full of unwillingness.
"Dwight, do you think we're going to sit still? I think you'll love the gift we bring you. ”
"What gift?" Howard asked curiously, and the first thing that came to his mind was that the team traded for an All-Star level helper.
"How's Vince?"
"Vince? Vince. Carter? Howard asked, incredulous.
"Yes, that's him, how?" The laughter on the other end of the line clearly penetrated Howard's ears.
"Fly to Orlando, Expect New Magic" -- the headline on ESPN's website in the early morning of June 30 once again woke up all the teams in the league that had a championship intention.
According to two league sources, the Nets have agreed in principle to a deal with the Magic, in which the Magic will send "street ball king" Alstom, Tony. Barty and Courtney. Lee, and the Nets swapped Carter and Ryan. Anderson. This means that Flyer Carter will assist "Warcraft" Howard next season, after the Magic and the Nets complete this transaction, the Magic will get another All-Star quality player, to help Dwight Howard continue to launch a stronger impact on the NBA championship next season, on the basis of the existing Dwight Howard, Rashad Lewis and Jamil Nelson three All-Star players, the addition of the Flyer Carter will make the Magic a strong contender for the championship next season, If the Magic can find a way to sign Turkeglu, who is out of contract to test the waters of the free agent market, the Magic's roster will be a dream quintet.
Shortly after the Magic trade, ESPN's headlines immediately changed to "Big Shark Moves to Los Angeles, LA Heads to Championship."
According to relevant sources, the Los Angeles Clippers have achieved an absolute lead in the competition of the big shark O'Neal, and the Los Angeles Clippers have used Steve. Novak (3 million) + Alien Sam. Kassel (4 million) + rookie Juan. Blair + 10 million trade exceptions + 2010, 2011 first-round picks + 3 million trade compensation cash in exchange for the big shark O'Neal and 2010, 2011 two second-round picks, no surprise the big shark back to Los Angeles will be completed in the near future, the Los Angeles in the Western Conference semifinals will set sail again, and they will also sign with the free man roaring Rashid Wallace, the inside line already has Tyson. With the addition of Rasheed Wallace and Big Shark O'Neal in the case of Chandler and Roy Hibbert, the Clippers' slightly weak interior line will change dramatically, and the Los Angeles Clippers' O'Brien Cup attack has officially been put on the agenda.
"Mitch, Jeff said the Clippers offered Lamar a four-year, $40 million contract."
"What? Damn, it's them again, what do they want so many insiders! Kupchak roared directly, and he felt a huge pressure.
