Since the end of last season, there have been trade rumors circulating in the league about Howard.

The farce, which was called "Howard's Nightmare" by the American media, lasted for nearly a year, and Tang Wenlong witnessed the whole process of this big boy who was loved by everyone to the protagonist of the soap opera.

Initially, it was the Nets who changed owners who pursued acquisition, and it was at the end of the 10-11 season. At the time, Howard said directly, "Are the Nets attractive to me?" Orlando is where he thrives, and they've been the top four in the East for the past four years. ”

Later, the NBA suffered a shutdown, and after the shutdown ended, Warcraft's heart was visibly shaken. It's unclear why he's changed, but all in all, in the face of a pervasive media, Howard clearly shows an interest in the Nets. Unexpectedly, before the trade deadline this year, in the game between the Magic and the Nets, all the Nets fans held Howard's posters and avatars, and Howard immediately said that this feeling was wonderful and a happy experience.

And when the Nets were close to acquiring Howard, Howard suddenly said that he would waive the early termination clause and that he would stay until at least the end of next season. In Orlando, the Magic immediately held a press conference to celebrate Howard's loyalty. Howard said, "I think loyalty should come first and believe that we can win a championship. ”

Immediately there was a burst of praise and thunderous applause.

Unexpectedly, in April, the turmoil broke out again. Head coach Big Van Gundy told reporters in a press conference that he wanted Howard to get out, and everyone was in an uproar, knowing for the first time about the Magic's poor team environment. That same month, Howard announced that he would have back surgery and that he would be reimbursed for the season. Then, in May, the Magic fired head coach Big Van Gundy in an effort to save Howard's heart, a move that immediately sent bumps in the hearts of most head coaches in the league. Then after the trade market opened in July, the general manager of the Magic team immediately confirmed that Howard, who was recovering from injuries in Los Angeles, had a determined heart to leave, and the team he wanted was the Nets.

On July 12, the Nets and Lopez signed a four-year contract extension, and in the process of pursuing Howard, the greed of the Magic and the capriciousness of Howard finally exhausted their patience.

The Nets withdrew from the negotiations, and the Rockets and Lakers intervened strongly, and the Rockets even put the team's starting power forward Scola **** in order to pursue more salary space and facilitate operation. But in addition to wanting multiple draft picks, the Nets also want to lose the contracts of three veterans, Richardson, Turkoglou and Chris Dujon, and the conditions are very demanding.

The farce continued even during the Olympics, and after multiple interventions, it has become the brightest soap script on the NBA trade market this summer.

Scola, who was cut by the Rockets, caused bidding from several teams, and the 76ers were also involved, but unfortunately after signing rookie players and Kwame Brown, the 76ers no longer had salary space. And Scola still has 3 years and $21 million left on his contract, and according to the provisions of the NBA**** terms, the claim team offer cannot be less than $3.3 million, that is, $10 million for 3 years, and the 76ers can only give it up in tears.

In the end, the Suns won this "South American diamond", Scola was in the Rockets last season, but he averaged 15+7 data per game, and his offensive ability has always been praised.

Howard's farce is at an impasse, and neither the Rockets nor the Lakers can meet the Magic's demands, so the two teams can only find a third team, hoping to trade in multiple ways.

I even found 76 people.

"Interested in trading Andre Iguodala?"

Stefansky jumped and replied directly with one word: "Get out~"

The Lakers wanted to pull the 76ers into the water, and even pulled in the tumultuous Nuggets, who have been hoarding young players and talent since trading Anthony last year, and have become the strongest track and field flying team in the NBA, captive a bunch of players who can run and jump. Seeing Howard leave Orlando, there must be a lot of oil and water to fish, and he may be able to make some cheap.

Finally, on August 10, ESPN was the first to break the news that Howard was about to go to Los Angeles to partner Kobe Bryant and Gasol to form a new phase of the Big Three!

The blockbuster news immediately became the hottest news of the summer of '12 and quickly dominated the headlines.

Tang Wenlong was surprised, he didn't know what conditions the Lakers paid, so he carefully searched the Internet for the details of the transaction.

Unexpectedly, this turned out to be a multi-party deal, in addition to the Lakers and Magic, the Nuggets and Raptors were also involved in the deal.

The Lakers sent Bynum, Dujon and Earl Clark, the Magic sent Howard and Richardson, the Nuggets sent Afra Roharrington, and the Raptors sent veteran Calderon.

There are also a lot of draft picks traded with each other, dazzling, and one by one is not clear.

All in all, the Lakers got Howard, the Magic and Nuggets got a bunch of draft picks, and the Raptors got Bynum, the starting All-Star in the West.

After that, Steve Nash, who was chasing the championship dream, chose to leave Phoenix, where his dream started, and the Lakers used a sign-and-trade method to get the Suns' Hall of Fame superstar Nash, who left the Suns with a bunch of Lakers' draft picks and cash, and even if he left, he had to fight for more benefits for his parent team.

The Lakers, on the other hand, instantly overshadowed Stefansch and became the hottest team in the summer trade market, and the Big Four they formed were luxurious enough to attract attention.

Fans in Los Angeles boast that they will win the championship next season.

Tang Wenlong also feels that the Lakers are really rich, and when such a lineup is formed, the book strength is indeed terrifying. Gasol and Howard attack and defend, Nash and Kobe's blocking and dismantling are all at the top level of the league, and Nash's projection ability is also top-level, which can perfectly open up the outside space, plus the small giant Jamison who has just attracted from the bench, and a series of elite soldiers including Steve Blake and Jordan Hill, it is not not powerful.

Anyway, Tang Wenlong thinks that the Lakers should be quite difficult next season, fortunately, the point guard is Nash and not Paul at that time, if it is Paul, the depth of this lineup is even more terrifying. Even so, the defense line formed by Gasol and Warcraft is already very layered, and the breakthrough limit for superstars should be very large.

The league is talking about Howard's cheat in this trade, and old man Popovich of the Spurs is directly angry, and the Lakers' interior line is strengthened like this, and the most uncomfortable thing should be a positional offensive team like the Spurs.

In mid-September, Tang Wenlong and Fang Chuxia returned to Philadelphia together, and the new and old players of the 76ers are about to have an internal gathering. (To be continued.) )
