Chapter 210: The Chain Deal of the Four Teams
The deal, which involves four teams and 12 players, is arguably the biggest move in recent years.
And the real lead of this trade is not the Pelicans who made the request, but Riley, to be exact, who wants to rebuild the Miami Heat after James leaves, because he knows that this year's Heat alone will not make it to the Finals even if they make the playoffs.
He doesn't want a regular season standings, he doesn't want a hearty win in the first two rounds of the playoffs, he wants a championship.
The Cavaliers have begun a major reshuffle this year, and the new Big Three of Love, James and Irving will be the biggest enemies in the entire East, and together with the large number of quality bench players they have acquired, they will be the Heat's biggest enemies this season.
Riley didn't want to wait, he couldn't wait, he didn't want their team to enter the finals for four consecutive years plummeted because of James' departure, so he aimed at Chen Lei, that magical rookie who was like a god.
Unlike others who see him as a potential star, in Riley's eyes, this is the next Kobe, the next James, or even the next Jordan.
So he boldly rebuilt and sent Bosh away just to introduce this guy to the team, and he was a little crazy, but he was also prepared to face the consequences of this crazy approach.
The Heat's trade involves three people, namely the real giant Chris. Bosh, known as Chalmers with half a giant, and McRoberts, who has just signed.
The Clippers are involved in this trade with a total of four people, namely the inside beast Jordan Jr., Apache Chen Lei, big baby Davis and Barnes.
The Pelicans have three people involved in the trade, Asik, Evans and Austin. Rivers.
The Nuggets have two players involved in the trade, JJ Hickson and Nate Robinson.
The Heat sent Bosh and Chalmers to the Pelicans. Send McRoberts to the Nuggets. They will get Jordan Jr., Chen Lei, Davis and Nate from the Nuggets from the Clippers. Robinson and $1 million each from the Clippers and Pelicans. and Austin of the Nuggets. Rivers.
The Clippers sent Jordan Jr. to Chen Lei and Davis to the Heat, and Barnes to the Nuggets to get Asik and Evans from the Pelicans and JJ Hickson from the Nuggets.
The Pelicans sent Asik and Evans to the Clippers and Austin. Rivers sent to the Heat will receive Bosh from the Heat as well as first-round picks from Chalmers and the Nuggets.
The Nuggets sent Hickson to the Clippers while bringing Nate to the Clippers. Robinson was sent to the Heat, and they were given Barnes of the Clippers and McRoberts of the Heat, as well as a 2015 first-round pick from the Heat.
There are many transfers in the deal, which is why so many players are involved, and on the surface, it seems that the Heat will have a bumper five, but in fact, each team has got the players they want.
Because trading isn't just about the number of people. Quality is also important.
The Heat's roster was flooded with five players, two guards and three interior players, and of course they lost Bosh, a true giant in his prime.
The four players the Clippers sent away are all inside, but their interior is not empty, they got Hickson and Asik, plus Griffin and Hawes in the current roster will also be a nightmare for the interior of the major teams.
The Pelicans lost the offensive arrow Evans and the new interior big man Asik, but the addition of the real giant Bosh made him and the thick eyebrow brother Davis form the most feared interior superstar duo, which will also be a nightmare for the interior of the major teams.
The Nuggets, on the other hand, were tepid, and they joined the trade completely by the Clippers, but it was not without gains. The reshuffling of the roster will make them more competitive for the new season, not to mention the addition of a pitcher like Barnes. will give them more offensive options.
"Holy! It's against the sky, it's against the sky, it's good news. ”
"Is the Heat brain-in-the-water? In exchange for five tricksters and let go of Bosh? ”
"The Clippers' interior line is really going against the sky."
"Fack, Davis partnered with Bosh, who would dare to come in such an inside combination?"
"Haha, Da Lei has entered the Heat, but the good players on the bench have left, making it very difficult for them this season."
"The Heat still don't have any hope this season, but the Clippers and Pelicans have suddenly improved their ability to compete a lot."
…… For a while, all the fans who learned the news were talking about the deal, and the dozen or so parties had different moods after learning that they had been traded.
There are those who are sad, those who are extremely sad, those who are puzzled, those who roar more angrily, and those who are naturally relieved and smile.
However, only a very small number of people are happy, most of them are angry and unwilling, they know that they are only in a huge market and they are the goods on the counter at the moment, they are unwilling, but they can only accept the reality.
Inside a hotel in Las Vegas.
"Bastard!" Bosh slammed his fist on the table, "Why do you ...... me like this?"
"Honey, don't be angry, it's really hard for the Heat to make a difference in the playoffs these days, but the Pelicans are not bad, you know, their roster is predominantly young, it's a team on the rise, isn't it?" Sister-in-law Bo hugged Bosh's waist and whispered.
"I'm not saying I hate the Pelicans, but I just hate the feeling of being traded!" Bosh took a deep breath, "It's time for Miami to leave, the promise of the year is no longer there, and there is no chance to stay here." ”
New York.
"Fake, it's been traded, these guys really make me a plug, do you want me to be stuffed in wherever there is a seam?" Robinson patted his forehead depressedly, he had often complained about it these summers.
Miami.
"Why?" Chalmers covered his face in pain, he really couldn't imagine why the Heat chose this way when he was traded, he gave everything to the Heat, this is what he got in return?
New Orleans.
"Sir, what kind of room do you want to book, we have a full range of services here." The waiter looked at Asik in front of him with bright eyes, and he knew that he must be an athlete by looking at his height and dress.
Asik put down the phone and shook his head, turned around and walked to the hotel door with his suitcase, and at the same time made a series of phone calls, "Book me a plane ticket to Los Angeles in the afternoon, yes, okay, goodbye." ”
Los Angeles.
"I ...... Traded? Little Jordan hung up the phone in disbelief, looking at Paul and Davis, who were chatting and laughing around him, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, "Hey buddy, we will be enemies next season." ”
Paul looked at little Jordan puzzled, "What nonsense?" ”
"Hehe......" Jordan Jr. looked at Davis and then at Paul, "Do you believe it?" I was traded. ”
"Bastard, what's going on?" Paul stepped forward and grabbed Jordan Jr.'s shoulders and asked eagerly, "What the hell is going on?" Why was it traded? When did it happen? Tell me quickly? ”
"I don't know why, I just know that next season, I'm going to Miami with this fat guy and Chen, that's all." Little Jordan closed his eyes weakly, "Los Angeles will no longer belong to me." (To be continued......)
PS: People who are not satisfied with this setting must have a lot of things, Daddy can't satisfy everyone, goodbye New York, goodbye Los Angeles, but it's also good to come to Miami.
