Do you want Yao Ming or Xiao Ao?

This is a multiple-choice question that Danny Anji brought to Zhuang Fei two days ago.

In fact, for Zhuang Fei, the answer to this multiple-choice question is very simple, that is, both.

Yao Ming and Xiao Ao will not give up.

If Zhuang Fei wins Yao Ming, he needs to have a player who can escort Yao Ming in the lineup, and Xiao Ao is the best choice, but how to win Xiao Ao?

This is an extremely difficult transaction, the difficulty of this deal is not that the Timberwolves have too much appetite or the salaries of the two sides are not equal, but that the Celtics do not have players that the Timberwolves can look up to, or none of these players in the Celtics team are needed by the Timberwolves, even the team's boss Anthony Walker, Anthony Walker's 10 million contract is a burden in the eyes of the Timberwolves, they don't need Anthony Walker, so if Zhuang Fei pursues Xiaoao, he must seek a third party, or even a fourth party, Fifth party.

In the NBA trading market, generally speaking, one-on-one transactions between the two teams are the easiest, the two teams give the people they need and get the people they need, and seek a third party if there is no reciprocal possibility, but Xiao Ao's deal is definitely not solved through three parties.

And the more teams involved in the trade, the more complicated it becomes, because each team has different demands, and it is basically impossible to satisfy every team, so all teams in the trade have to make sacrifices.

Therefore, Zhuang Fei was forced to choose Chandler, who the Bulls needed, in his third pick in order not to lose Xiao Ao. Because for the Celtics, the Bulls had to join the trade, and he also selected Battier with the Clippers' No. 9 pick. Like the Bulls, the Clippers are a must-trade team for the Timberwolves to get Ogie Jr.

"Danny. What about the Warriors, are they willing to join in the deal? ”

In the office of the chairman of the Boston Celtics, Zhuang Fei looked anxiously at Danny Anji who came in from outside and asked, although Zhuang Fei said that he gave up Yao Ming in the No. 3 position in order to trade Xiao Ao, but this does not mean that Zhuang Fei just left Yao Ming alone.

For Zhuang Fei, Yao Ming and Gasol must win one of them, which is a strategy that Zhuang Fei has already formulated. Now Gasol is definitely hopeless, because the Spanish center will soon be sent to another team by the Pistons, and now Zhuang Fei has only one choice, that is, his compatriots. Yao.

"Consider, they're thinking about it now, they say let's give him some time to think about it"

Seeing Zhuang Fei's eagerness, Danny Anji was also extremely worried, and now so many teams are waiting for the Warriors' decision because Zhuang Fei wants to win Yao Ming's relationship.

"Time, time, it seems that we need time, how about the Bulls and Clippers, will they wait for us" Zhuang Fei was stunned for a moment after hearing Danny Anji's words, and then immediately took a deep look at Danny Anji and asked.

"Yes, they will," Danny Angie nodded again.

And Zhuang Fei was also a little relieved after seeing Danny Anji nodding. However, thinking that the players that the other party wanted were in his hands, Zhuang Fei was also relieved again.

"Now wait for their final decision," Zhuang Fei finally looked out the window of his office.

Yao Ming is just a very good Chinese rookie now, because Wang Zhizhi's reason is that the two centers from China are overrated to a certain extent, which is why Yao Ming can enter the top four and Battle can be selected at the end of the first round. …,

But it is also because of Wang Zhizhi that these two Chinese are not so valuable, after all, they still have a two-time All-Star on their heads, so Yao Ming is now very important to the Warriors. However, it is not necessarily indispensable, and it may even be said that it is not necessarily the core of the team's reconstruction.

The Warriors are a rebuilding team, and Zhuang Fei is now directly sending them a ready-made All-Star player to relieve their rebuilding pain, which is also acceptable for the Warriors, and now it depends on their determination.

Zhuang Fei is now worried about the things that Xiao Ao and Yao Ming have both, and the same worry as Zhuang Fei is Grizzlies head coach Jerry West, for the former Lakers general manager, his biggest goal this year is to be able to lead the Grizzlies to win the championship, and the current Grizzlies also have this strength, especially after he accepts this team, the more he understands this team, the more convinced he is of his decision.

Now that the Grizzlies have their own team's cornerstone of winning the championship, what he needs now is to constantly improve the lineup on the cornerstone, especially the targeted improvement of the lineup.

With the departure of Zhuang Fei from the Timberwolves in the entire league, coupled with the current player trading problems within the Timberwolves, it can be said that the originally strong Timberwolves have now become a little depressed, which makes the last Laker who can stop the Grizzlies in the entire league, and more importantly, that is, in the first two years, the Grizzlies lost to the Lakers in the tie-break, and the Grizzlies' loss trajectory in the seventh game of the tie-break in the past two years is exactly the same. In 2000, it was because Ao Fat alone played all the Grizzlies' interior lines, causing the Grizzlies to collapse directly in the case of a large lead, and in 2001, the Grizzlies' group of insiders were even more scared by this big shark The whole series was soft, these people were not all beaten like the previous year, but the team lost even more, judging from the lessons of the past two years, how can Jerry West not understand what this team is lacking now? , that's why he picked up the Chinese big man Battle with the 27th pick in the first round of this year's draft, he doesn't know Battle, he doesn't need to understand this Chinese, he just needs a big sandbag inside, as for the players he really wants, he has been dragging now, such as the Rockets' free agent Olajuwon, and then the big deal around Xiao Ao that everyone is waiting for now.

The day after draft night each year is the time when the league has the most trade information. But this year, it's been extremely unusual. Because the real day has passed, there hasn't been a single news about the rookie trade in the league.

This eerie atmosphere naturally makes many people smell an incredible smell. Of course, it will also make many people speculate about the reason for this, and happily, this reason quickly surfaced in front of everyone, and when this reason appeared, the alliance was in an uproar.

Or rather, the NBA has changed.

And the same. The Celtics in Boston, when Zhuang Fei finally agreed to join the trade with the Warriors, jumped straight out of his chairman's office chair in excitement

In the NBA's president's office, David Stern frowned as he looked at the fax requesting trade approval in his hand, and the president had been a little unhappy lately. The main reason is that this year's draft really made the president a little uncomfortable, the task he wanted to accomplish or the things he wanted to achieve was not achieved, and even the president suspected that all the other teams in the league were hiding from him to do something he didn't know, and this kind of thing that all the people under his hands secretly joined together made the president a little unhappy.

"David, to approve or not to approve this deal"...,

Looking at his boss's frowning face, the chairman of the American selection committee and the vice president of the league, Stewart, sighed again, if it was him, he would definitely refuse this somewhat scary deal, and if such a deal was allowed to happen, then the entire NBA would really face a reshuffle. This is no joke, and a trade in which nearly half of the league's teams are involved in a trade of their own players is simply unheard of.

It's just that to Stewart's surprise, even the president was very dissatisfied, but after a long time of deep thought, he nodded and agreed.

"Alright, David, since you agreed, then I'll go and inform them that this deal is going into effect," Stewart looked at Stern, who had a heavy face, and finally sighed and exited the president's office.

Seeing Stewart leave, David Stern also shook his head and focused his attention on the fax again. No matter how many times he read the content of this fax, he was a little shocked.

The Detroit Pistons sent this year's No. 1 Spaniard, Pau Gasol, and the team's center Ben Wallace and the team's forward Joe Smith, as well as the Grizzlies' All-Star forward Raheem, and the Pacers' All-Star interior Davis Davis and the Trail Blazers' flying squirrel Stoudemire

The Celtics sent their star Anthony Walker. Center Tony Batty and this year's two rookies, Tyson Chandler and Battier, earned James Posey from the Clippers, Yao Ming from the Warriors, Jackson and Jermaine O'Neal from the Timberwolves and the 2002 draft picks from the Trail Blazers.

The Warriors sent their new star Jamison and their rookie Yao Ming to get Anthony Walker, an All-Star star from the Celtics

The Clippers sent away team boss James Posey, rookie Joe Johnson and the team's 2002 draft pick to get Bulls boss Brand and Batman Battier Combat from the Celtics

The Bulls sent away the team's boss Brand, who got rookie Tyson Chandler from the Celtics and Bunch Wells from the Trail Blazers

The Pacers sent sign-and-trade All-Star forward Dale Davis and a 2002 first-round pick to get Joe Johnson from the Clippers and Joe Smith from the Pistons

The Grizzlies sent All-Star power forward Raheem, center Brian Reaves from the Trail Blazers, Rasheed Wallace, defensive center Ben Wallace from the Pistons, and Tony Barty from the Celtics, as well as a first-round pick from the Pacers

The Trail Blazers sent Rasheed, Wallace and Bunchwells, who were the protagonists of last season's team fights, as well as Stoudemire, as well as this year's No. 1 pick in 2002, Gasol, and the Warriors' new boss, Jamison

The Timberwolves sent the team's center Jermaine O'Neal and the team's guard Stephen Jackson to get the Grizzlies' contract expires with only one year before the former 10-million-level center Reaves and a first-round pick from the Clippers.

David Stern sighed again after reading the trade request, and he could already imagine how crazy the media would be tomorrow after the deal happened.

It was the largest trade in NBA history. It's bigger than Ewing's deal last season.

Now David Stern must be sleepless all night, and on the other side of Boston, there is a group of people like Xiaohe.

For example, Zhuang Fei and his two assistants. When Zhuang Fei knew that the alliance approved the deal, he shouted almost directly in his office, and it can be said that when the fax from David Stern and the alliance came, Zhuang Fei's heart was also secretly relieved. Yao Ming and Xiao Ao who wanted to win it, although this time the roundabout was a bit big, but it was obvious that the result was still the best, and in addition to the two excellent inside lines of the winners, he also obtained his old disciples James Posey and Stephen Jackson, which made Zhuang Fei extremely excited. …,

Jackson signed and traded with the Timberwolves, and according to Zhuang Fei and Boston's instructions, the Timberwolves gave the guard a four-year contract of 25 million, which is the best price for a guard in a league that has implemented a luxury tax system. What makes Zhuang Fei even happier is that after pulling the Warriors into the trade circle at the last moment, he also obtained 'Little Pippen' James Posey from the Clippers, which can be said to have solved the embarrassment of his team's No. 1 lack of people and lineup but the second organization point. Zhuang Fei didn't expect such an unexpected joy when he wanted to get Xiao Ao.

And I didn't expect the team to get a draft pick from the Trail Blazers next year, which was also a surprise. Although the Trail Blazers sent their two leading players, Rasheed Wallace and Stoween, Stoudemire to get Jamison and Gasol, the team will not be very competitive next year, especially since they are still in a competitive West. It can be said that Zhuang Fei and Celtic have already secured a lottery draw for next year in advance.

Of course, the reason why Zhuang Fei was able to get a first-round pick, for these teams involved in the transaction, Zhuang Fei's Celtics actually seem to be a bit of a loss, in their opinion, Yao Ming is slightly inferior to Tyson Chandler, and Jackson is also a little worse than Battier, that is to say, Zhuang Fei used Anthony Walker and Tony Barty for a little Pippen and a little Ao, which is quite a loss

"Hmph. Is it necessary to be so happy, no matter how you look at this deal, it will be a loss" Zhuang Fei couldn't help himself excitedly, while Michael Leon Carr on the side glanced at Zhuang Fei and whispered disdain, for him, he just thought that Zhuang Fei's deal was a big loss, but because Zhuang Fei and he made that bet not long ago, this Zhuang Fei's assistant did not obstruct Zhuang Fei's decision.

Although Carl's voice was small, Zhuang Fei and Danny Anji could hear it clearly, so Danny Anji was a little embarrassed, while Zhuang Fei squinted at Carl and didn't care.

"Maybe this year we shouldn't be aiming for the second round in the East. Maybe we should be able to go one step further."

Under the surprised gazes of Danny Angie and Karl, the Chinese head coach slowly said his new goals for the season. It's just that this new goal is extremely unrealistic in the eyes of his two assistants.

Further? Eastern Conference Finals? The Boston Celtics haven't made it to the division finals in nearly 15 years!

Zhuang Fei is happy that he got the player he wants, in fact, like Zhuang Fei, there are many people who are the same, such as the Pistons, although they sent out the team's two plus one champion, but they got the All-Star level point guard Flying Squirrel and All-Star level interior forwards Dale Davis and Raheem, plus the team's boss Stark House, it can be said that the team's goal next season is the Finals, which is almost an all-All-Star team, if it weren't for the Trail Blazers selling their own players, How can a tiny Gasol get so much in exchange? So after learning that the Trail Blazers were interested in Gasol, the team resolutely gave up Kwame Brown, which is the Pistons' choice about the future and the present, and this time they chose the present.

The Pistons are thinking they have earned it, and similarly, the Warriors and the Trail Blazers think they have earned it, these are two teams that are ready to rebuild, and the Warriors have got the real All-Star Anthony Walker, who is one of the best players in terms of stats last season, and one of the best outside players in the league, more than one level stronger than Jamison and Yao Ming, which also means that their rebuild will end, and the Trail Blazers also think the same, and it is already a great blessing to be able to clean out Rasheed Wallace and Bunch Wells and the flying squirrel, In the end, I didn't expect to get Jamison and Gasol, so they can start a team rebuild.

Of course, there are a lot of teams that are considered to have made money in this deal, in addition to these three, there are also the Clippers and the Pacers and even the Bulls, but there is no doubt that after the deal was announced in the media the next day, the Timberwolves, the Celtics and the Grizzlies were considered to be a big loss, especially the Grizzlies and their general manager and head coach Jerry West were sprayed incomprehensibly.

"A bad boy that no one wants, a big iron pier, a soft egg, plus the Chinese fat head that already has it, we don't see such a group of guys at all can do better than Raheim and Reeves, for O'Neal, this group of people is still very vegetable, I think now Jerry West's all hopes are pinned on the Rockets center, but if Olajuwon joins, then this team will have four centers, and solving the problem of a position is not a matter of numbers, of course, Foul play exception, maybe the Grizzlies will have 24 foul opportunities against Shaq next season"

Just as Boston used to be ridiculed for collecting 'Bird,' so did Jerry West's constant collection of centers to deal with Fat.

It's just that, no matter what, the biggest deal in history has been completed. (Your support is my biggest motivation.) )
