"Smack!" With a loud bang, a stack of reports was slammed on the table in front of him by Larry Bird.

Looking at the red tide on his face, he knew that this old Guan was not lightly angered by this report, but there was no way for him to be angry if he wanted to.

Because now the initiative is in someone else's hands, the only news that Larry Bird has been focusing on lately is trading, yes.

He was ready to trade, and the team's original goal this season was only to make the playoffs, but looking at the momentum in front of him, rushing to the playoffs was almost a foregone conclusion, so the Pacers' mind came alive.

People go high, water flows low, even if there is the most famous bad team in the league, they will fight in this situation, to trade players who are more suitable for the team, so that the team can go further, and the Pacers are doing this now.

With the support of the Chinese market, and the original American ball market, it is once again open to the Pacers.

People on the Pacers' side are gradually thinking more, not only Larry Bird, even the owner of the team, has been thinking a lot recently, and it is not unreasonable that he can let go of the right to let Larry Bird get the transfer.

Now the Pacers have a lot of personnel on the inside and outside, but everyone knows in their hearts that there is really no big threat on the inside, Hibbert is a good seedling, but not every good seedling is like Johnson or O'Neal.

Hebbert is good enough to be one of the most dominant players in the league when he enters the league, but he still needs to work out.

In the center position, the explosive power continues to be in the second half, and there is nothing else to ask for if he can play a good game occasionally, so that he can continue to exercise in a starting position, these don't matter, what needs to be solved now is the problem of the inside line.

Murphy is heavy on offense and light on defense, Hansblu is too short, and he is also a rookie this year, so his performance is extremely inconsistent.

At such a rapid pace, there are very few players that the Pacers can rely on, like Solomon Jones, AJ Price, Josh McRoberts, Jeff Foster, this interior player Pacers have hoarded a lot, but only two are really used...... Hibbert and Hansbru are both half a year, and with such interior competitiveness, the Pacers are in some trouble.

So now Larry Bird can only stay in the office when everyone is having Christmas and the family is happy.

Not to mention, there are really a few good players in the league right now, and the other side is interested in selling, which also gives the Pacers a chance.

However, the other party's chips are really a little unacceptable, which is why Larry Bird is angry.

"Manager, I don't know if I should say a sentence or not!" The little secretary next to him picked up the contract that was thrown away by Larry Bird and looked at it, and after hearing the little secretary's words, Larry Bird took a deep breath and calmed himself down for the time being.

"Tell me about it!" Hearing Larry Bird's order, the little secretary next to him came over and explained to Larry Bird.

"Our target is these four people, among these four people, three of them have been done, but one guy is a bit too demanding, he wants to come in with another big contract, but we also have to think that after the end of this season, the owner is likely not to spend so much money to continue to maintain the current lineup, and it just so happens that this guy's contract is in the last year, and if he is laid off at that time, it will also be a good choice, so that he can free up the salary!" Looking at Larry Bird in front of him, the little secretary explained to him carefully, hearing the little secretary's words, Larry Bird's brows furrowed slightly, and then showed a hint of silver, seeing Larry Bird's expression, the little secretary next to him pursed his lips and left quickly.

She could naturally tell which Larry Bird was thinking more about it, and which expressions were thinking about serious things.

"Zhang Kong's big contract, if you don't get out of it, it's really not easy to handle...... Well, then get it! With a wicked grin, it looked like Larry Bird was ready to play some tricks or something.

"Be sure to settle the current situation before the Christmas break!" Looking at the form in his hand, Larry Bird set a final time limit for himself, and when Larry Bird decided on something, he was still very fast.

When most people were still immersed in the Christmas holidays, suddenly a transfer news came from Indiana, Minnesota, Chicago and New York at the same time, and this transfer news instantly attracted everyone's extreme attention, and at the same time at 11:25 p.m. on December 24, the last bit of Christmas Eve, the official websites of the four teams were updated with the latest news at the same time.

After seeing this news, everyone gasped, and the walkers, who had been silent for many years, finally made a move.

The Pacers used TJ Ford plus Josh McRoberts and AJ Price and next year's second-round pick to trade from the Timberwolves to the Wolves King Al Jefferson, who is no longer recognized by the Timberwolves executives, which can be described as a robbing deal.

Now everyone knows that after the Pacers' guard line has a gap, TJ Ford's playing time can only be shared with Earl Watson, and such a TJ Ford plus some leftovers turned out to be exchanged for Al Jefferson.

This really surprised everyone, this is indeed a bit overwhelming, with Al Jefferson, the Pacers' interior strength has instantly increased by a level, and the firepower output configuration on the outside will be more powerful.

And before everyone can come back to their senses, the other two deals have also taken shape, and the center is still directed at the Trail Blazers.

The Trail Blazers traded backup center Jeff Foster for Tyrus Thomas, who has one year left on his contract and plays for the Bulls.

If it is said that the first round of the contract is a robbery, that round of the contract is obviously decent, because Thomas has been playing as a substitute on the Bulls' side, and the Bulls have been peddling Tyrus Thomas, Tyrus's contract is coming to an end this year, and in order to chase the big bulls in the free market next year, Chicago has begun to sell people.

The first trade was the most profitable trade, and the second trade was an equal trade, but the third trade was a bit of a bit of a fuss, because the Pacers also made a rare brainless trade, using last year's rookie Brandon Rushga Solomon Jones from New York for two guys they couldn't even play...... Earl Barron, Darko Milicic, they traded Earl Barron understandably, after all, Earl Barron played seven games for the Knicks at the beginning of the season, and averaged 11.7 points per game, if he comes to the Pacers, he will become the main bench player for the Pacers, and the most important thing is that he is cheap, only worth $860,000 in total.

If he doesn't play well, the Pacers can fire him, anyway, it's just a temporary contract, but the big worm Milicic in the trade is a little confusing, this guy is a shame for the legendary 03 generation, and now he has been traded to the Pacers, which really makes many people scratch their heads, and when the Pacers called to ask, Rashi Bird didn't give a definite explanation, just said that it was just business, and he would talk about it when the player arrived...... That's it, it's just business, so that many players who Zhang Kong has been familiar with have gone away, although Zhang Kong and TJ-Ford are not quite on the right path, but after all, they have been together for so long, after thinking about it, Zhang Kong still called TJ-Ford, but TJ-Ford on the phone is not too sad, his height is destined to make him only play point guard.

On the Pacers' side, there is a blank that dominates the No. 1 spot, and there is also an Earl Watson who is causing trouble there.

So for TJ Ford, the transaction is not necessarily not a good thing, after listening to Zhang Kong's words, TJ Ford did not say much, just blessed Zhang Kong, which made Zhang Kong a little surprised, after all, his relationship with TJ Ford is not very good, and now he is still blessing himself, it seems that he is indeed not as good as TJ-Ford...... The NBA is a business, today you trade me, tomorrow he trades you, all they need to do is play well.

After hanging up the phone, Zhang Kong breathed a sigh of relief, he was the first time before the end of the season, he felt such a change, and the arrival of those players, also made Zhang Kong a little worried, he was worried about whether he could cooperate with them like the old players, December 24, 2009, the biggest program of the year in Europe and the United States, Christmas Eve.

While everyone was safe, most of the players on the Pacers' side were losing sleep...... It's just business, it's as simple as that.

After trading away a large number of players, the lineup on the Pacers' side was quickly changed, there are more people on the inside, and there are fewer players on the outside, there are a total of seven players on the inside now, to compete for five positions, and six players on the outside, to compete for three positions, how to look at this lineup is not right, what if someone is injured?

It's impossible that Larry Bird hasn't thought about this, and he's not worried, mainly because there are quite a few guys in the team who can play several positions! It's no joke, it's like Granger can play SG, SF and PF, Dunleavy can play SG and SF, Dundee Jones is also a swingman for SG and SF, and it is not a problem for Zhang Kong to play PG, SG and SF.

Hansbrough, who is on the inside, can also play SF from the top and bottom of the pf, and his size is also very suitable for playing 'no three, no four'.

So Larry Bird didn't care too much, and now he's thinking about the team's post-trade chemistry...
