Chapter 255: Larry Bird's Operation and Li Cheng's Return to the Team
On July 8, two days before the transfer window opened, someone who claimed to be an "insider" finally broke the news that the Indiana Pacers would complete a trade with the Toronto Raptors, and the core figure was Jermaine O'Neal.
The reason why there was no report on the Pacers' trade message a few days ago was because no one started it, and now it was the Indiana Pacers' royal media "Printing City Basketball Newspaper" that broke the news first, and the news had a certain degree of credibility, and then reporters from all walks of life began to make up all kinds of "news".
All sorts of rumors began to fly, and Larry Bird never gave an interview to reporters. Everyone is waiting for July 10 to see what the Pacers will do.
After all, there are no valuable big-name players whose contracts expire this summer, and only Indiana's O'Neal Jr. trade can be considered a heavyweight deal.
In the anticipation of reporters from all walks of life, the day of July 10 finally came, and everyone crouched in front of their computers to watch the official website of the Indiana Pacers, hoping to find some heavyweight news on it.
At ten a.m. on July 10, the Indiana Pacers made an announcement on their website. The Indiana Pacers traded with the Portland Trail Blazers, and Jermaine O'Neal was not involved.
The media were shocked and frustrated, such a deal is too inconsequential compared to O'Neal Jr.'s heavyweight deal.
The Pacers sent power forwards Vic Diogu and Tinsley, Trail Blazers power forward Josh McRoberts and Trail Blazers point guard Jarrett Jack with their newly selected No. 13 rookie Robin Lopez.
The Trail Blazers' No. 13 rookie was really chosen for the Pacers, and the focus of the Pacers' reinforcements this summer is really on the interior and point guard.
However, the Pacers just selected Ibaka, who has just gotten Lopez, why are they piling up so many rookies on the inside? However, they also found Josh McRoberts, an Indiana native who finally returned to his homeland. But such a trade clearly can't put the Pacers on a championship path.
The Pacers have made a move, and the Pacers will definitely have a trade next. Some journalists are disappointed, but they are more expectant. After all, the Pacers have now added three new players to the interior, and while none of them are very strong, they have clearly further compressed Jermaine O'Neal's position.
O'Neal Jr. has absolutely no room to continue to gain a foothold with the Pacers. His departure is certain.
But some teams' general managers don't expect as much as the media expects, and instead want O'Neal Jr.'s contract to rot in the hands of the Pacers. That could hinder their rebuild, and it could affect the Pacers' salary structure, which could greatly affect the Pacers' ability to fight next season.
Then at 1:30 p.m., the official website of the Pacers made another announcement. But there's still no news of O'Neal Jr., and even though it's only the first day, everyone can't wait to see the blockbuster deal.
The information in this transaction is that between Indiana and Phoenix.
The Pacers sent Troy Murphy in exchange for the Suns' No. 15 rookie, Brande Rush.
"What do the Pacers want so many rookies for?"
"Do they think that every rookie is Li Cheng? A rookie like Li Cheng may not be able to produce one in a hundred years! ”
"I don't know! The age structure of the Pacers is too young now! Could it be that Larry Bird has a big move next? I'm looking forward to O'Neill's deal more and more! ”
"That's right, but I don't think this kind of deal will keep us waiting too long!"
"The Pacers still haven't been interviewed about the two trades, and Larry Bird is still declining to be interviewed by all media outlets, and it looks like there's news from them today."
"It should be. Let's see what the walkers will do next! ”
The Pacers have now cleared Tinsley, Murphy and Diogu, and they have added two players, Jarrett Jack and Josh McRoberts, all of whom are rookies.
"The Pacers are very young on the roster right now!"
"That's true, I don't know what choice they'll make next."
Then at 4 p.m., the Pacers' official website made another announcement. And this time it's the news of signing those four rookies.
"The Pacers really signed these four rookies, what the hell are they going to do?"
"This lineup is too young, young and terrible!"
"Youth represents both potential and immaturity, and the NBA is like an arena where rookies are always the target of bullying. Whether on the pitch or off the pitch. ”
"I don't know what Larry Bird thinks, he's got four rookies at once. And Li Cheng is only a 2nd grade student this year. Even if Li Cheng's maturity and strength can't be measured by ordinary rookie standards, they are too young! ”
O'Neal Jr.'s trade hasn't materialized yet, and I don't know what the Pacers will do next.
July 8, two days before the transfer window opened. Finally, someone claiming to be an "insider" broke the news that the Indiana Pacers will complete a trade with the Toronto Raptors, and the central figure in it is Jermaine O'Neal.
The reason why the Pacers' trade message was not reported a few days ago was because no one started, and now it is the Indiana Pacers' royal media "Print City Basketball News" that broke the news first. The news had a certain credibility, and then reporters from all walks of life showed their magic and began to make up all kinds of "news".
All sorts of rumors began to fly, and Larry Bird never gave an interview to reporters. Everyone is waiting for the day of July 10th. See exactly what the walker will do.

The Trail Blazers' No. 13 rookie was really chosen for the Pacers, and the focus of the Pacers' reinforcements this summer is really on the interior and point guard.
However, Ibaka, who the Pacers just selected, got Lopez again. What are they doing with so many rookies on the inside? However, they also found Josh McRoberts, an Indiana native who finally returned to his homeland. But such a trade clearly can't put the Pacers on a championship path.
