(Ask for a commuter pass)

Washington, D.C., this is the capital of the United States, but unlike some countries, Washington, D.C., as the capital of the United States, is not necessarily one of the most prosperous cities in the United States, and it can even be said that compared to New York and Los Angeles, it is more like a country here, and there is not much strong business atmosphere here, and there is not too strong sports atmosphere, it seems to be just a political city.

Of course, it's not a big city, but as the capital of the United States and the political center of the world, it's home to some of the best newspapers in the United States and the world. It can be said that in this place, all the news and information seems so fast.

In Washington's Chinatown, there is a basketball arena, MIC Center Arena, which is the home of the NBA team Washington Wizards, and it is also the only one of the 28 courts of the NBA's 29 teams built in Chinatown, but today, early in the morning of January 8, when Washington Wizards fans in Chinatown pick up a copy of the Washington Post at the newsstand, they will be shocked by today's Washington Post.

The Washington Post is one of the most authoritative newspapers in the United States, one of the mouthpiece newspapers of the U.S. government, and one of the best sports newspapers or basketball newspapers in the United States. And today, the front page of the newspaper is a big piece of news that attracts the most attention. And it's about the Washington Wizards.

Washington Wizards, Grizzlies. The Cleveland Cavaliers, Phoenix Suns, Minnesota Timberwolves completed a five-way trade, and the Wizards lost Juwan Howard. On the front page of the Washington Post, a slightly thin interior player wearing a Wizards jersey was particularly eye-catching, and the smiling player in the Wizards jersey was Juwan Howard, the former boss of the Washington Wizards.

The power forward, who averaged 18 points and nine rebounds per game last season, has completely lost his place this season due to Nash's arrival. In the Wizards' recent winning streak, the interior player has basically played as a substitute, and this rare All-Star player in the league with a multimillion-dollar contract, one of the Michigan Five Tigers, will naturally not be willing to spend time on the bench at the age of 28. It can be said that the news that the former boss is going to be traded has been circulating in Washington since Nash's arrival, especially after the team's big man Jordan publicly supported D'Antoni, in fact, when Anthony first came to the team last season. The two of them are incompatible, D'Antoni pursues speed, and the Wizards' style of play is tepid, but D'Antoni's results last season were so poor that even if he was the deputy general manager and head coach, he couldn't do anything with Howard, but when D'Antoni led the team to play almost the best performance in history, the balance between the two has actually been disrupted.

It can be said that Howard's departure has basically reached a consensus among Wizards fans, but they are eager to know what kind of players the team will get in exchange, as one of the few in the league who can attack and contribute an average of 18+9 per game, his trade value is very large. There are also many teams interested in this player, such as the Nuggets, such as the Magic, and even the Mavericks, who are currently hot in the West, but what makes many Wizards fans a little confused. The team has not been involved in any negotiations so far, it seems that the Wizards management is not very satisfied with the chips that appear now, and they don't seem to be in a hurry to send the inside player away, originally everyone thought that this deal was likely to be delayed, after all, there will be a lot more big fish in the trade market in the summer, but in the end, what I didn't expect was that this deal came in such a hurry. …,

And in the newspaper, the chips traded by the Wizards also made many Wizards fans frown tightly.

A Juwan Howard actually only changed to a 'data brush' and a 'tumor' of the knight master Marion. Recently, this small forward has had a hard time in the Cavaliers, two years ago the Cavaliers decided to send away the Rain Man Camp to take him and Andre Miller as the core rebuild, but these two years have passed, the team's results are still very bad, and his data is missing higher and higher, and recently the Cavaliers are also rumored that the team's backup small forward Ricky Davis and the team's boss do not deal with each other, and the team's third Andre Miller and the team's second big center Ilgoskas are also a little dissatisfied with this small forward, It can be said that this Cavaliers team is a little out of control, Marion is not a leader-level player, this is the conclusion reached by the Cavaliers management, so this team is also looking for a leader-level star player all over the world.

So in the end, the Cavaliers fell in love with the penny Hardaway who was peddled by the Suns all over the world, Hardaway and Marbury had a very poor relationship, and Hardaway's departure from the Suns was inevitable, and it can be said that the two teams also hit it off, but in the end, because the Suns didn't want Marion, there was such a big circle, and at the same time, there was such a five-way deal that seemed a little complicated.

The Wizards lost their former boss Juwan Howard to the Cavaliers' small forward Marion and a first-round pick from the Suns and Crawford from the Timberwolves, who has averaged just three minutes per game this season.

The Cavaliers lost former boss Marion and center Chris Mim and then got Penny Hardaway from Suns leader

The Suns poached their most wanted interior player Juwan Howard from the Wizards, although the loss of Hardaway and next year's first-round draft pick did not have much impact, after all, the combination of Juwan Howard and Marbury is worth looking forward to.

These three teams are the main body of the deal, while the other two teams, the Timberwolves and Grizzlies, are more of a supporting role.

When Zhuang Fei was in the Timberwolves, the team's interior number was seriously insufficient, especially the team's second team's interior line was even weaker, after all, Zhuang Fei was a completely outside-based offensive lineup in the second team at that time, but as a pure defensive coach, Van Gundy has long changed the personnel structure with the Timberwolves, especially the coach looked down on the young guards Crawford and Reed, who Zhuang Fei trusted before, and Reid was okay. After all, he can still play about 10 minutes per game, and Crawford is miserable, the Timberwolves have played almost 40 games this season, and last year's No. 4 pick actually only played 28 games, averaging more than 3 minutes per game. It can be said that Crawford was completely out of Van Gundy's plans.

In this case, Van Gundy joined the deal and then lost Reed and Crawford in exchange for Tony Barty of the Grizzlies and Chris Mentem of the Cavaliers, both of whom are capable interior players, one of the best bench players for the Celtics. One is one of the Cavaliers' best bench players, which is also perfectly in line with Van Gundy's requirements.

As for the Grizzlies, they have dropped some of the team's redundant interior lineman, Tony Barty. Then in exchange for a sixth man that the team needs, Reed's performance with the Timberwolves has been consistent, which is why Van Gundy did not scrap Reid even if he abolished Crawford. This guard is now considered an underrated player in the league.

"Danny, you brokered this deal."

When Zhuang Fei saw the deal in the newspaper in his chairman's office, he asked Danny Anji in front of him with a wry smile, and the deputy general manager of the Celtics didn't seem to be hiding anything, but nodded directly. …,

Zhuang Fei was a little speechless again after seeing Danny Anji nod, this is the result of this guy asking himself not to interfere, and he went to repay the favor of the Suns himself, from now on, it is obvious that the Suns are indeed the most profitable in this deal, and they got the best chip in this deal.

"This is the result of this asking Kevin for help," Danny Angie said with a sigh after glancing at Zhuang Fei, this deal was indeed brokered by him. However, most of the credit goes to the Timberwolves' general manager McHale, who is far less connected in the league than McHale, and it can be said that after this deal is facilitated, the Suns will not be pinching him to sell the Suns' interests to help the Boston Celtics. Although it is said that McHale is owed a favor again at this time, but in the end, there is no way. It's better for everyone to be 'Boston' than to be bitten by the sun all the time.

"Danny, maybe your incident this time will change the pattern of the entire east," Zhuang Fei finally said to Danny Anji in surprise.

On the surface, all five teams are profitable, with the Suns being the biggest, but Zhuang Fei is more concerned about Marion going to the Wizards, a data brush who has been criticized for not being the leader and core of a team may be reborn in the Wizards.

As for his two disciples in the Timberwolves. Zhuang Fei is also a little happy for the two of them, in fact, when Zhuang Fei left the Timberwolves, he knew that these two people did not stay in the Timberwolves for a long time, after all, the team has a Ginobili, and other head coaches cannot play the team's second team like Zhuang Fei, it can be said that it is a matter of time before these two people leave the Timberwolves, but Zhuang Fei never thought that these two people would be so bumpy in the Timberwolves this season, especially Crawford, this guard was completely abolished by Van Gundy this year, and he didn't even have time to play. Even some time ago, Zhuang Fei always wanted to get him to the Celtics, not because the Celtics needed him so much, but because Zhuang Fei couldn't bear to have a good seedling he selected was scrapped by Van Gundy, just because the Boston Celtics couldn't find the chips the Timberwolves wanted and couldn't carry out this plan, but they didn't expect to be preempted by the Grizzlies.

In Zhuang Fei's office, Zhuang Fei was deep in thought, and Danny Anji on the other side was a little concerned when he heard Zhuang Fei's words of 'changing the pattern in the east', but he didn't think about it deeply, but when he saw Zhuang Fei lowering his head and thinking about things, the deputy general manager of the Boston Celtics also left Zhuang Fei's office.

Of course, it's a month of trade-heavy trading, especially after the Wizards' five-way trade, and now the entire NBA is flooded with all sorts of trade rumors because of this deal.

On January 9, 2002, the Boston Celtics hosted the Western powerhouse Spurs, in the last meeting between the two teams, the Boston Celtics defeated the Spurs on the road, and Eric Williams was still a player for the Boston Celtics when that game was played, and now this excellent swingman is now an important player for the Spurs, the biggest attraction of this game for Boston fans is the return of Eric Williams, after leaving the Boston Celtics to the Spurs this season, Eric Williams can contribute 12.5 points, 5 rebounds, 4 assists, 1 block and 1 steal per game, both on the offensive and defensive ends, it can be said that the swingman has become Duncan, the general and Parker's fourth figure on the team, and Kirilenko, who used him as a bargaining chip, although he also performed well, but the average of 7 points, 5 rebounds, 2 assists, 2 steals and 2 blocks per game is still much worse than Eric Williams.

In this game, Vicky said that he was going to take revenge when the two teams met last time, it can be said that the Spurs coach has been preparing for this game for a long time, and on the side of the Boston Celtics, Zhuang Fei won Jackson in his lineup and replaced it with Kirilenko, it is obvious that this is to let everyone directly look at the strength comparison of these two, in the dynasty system, Kirilenko's ability value is now 85, and Eric Williams' ability value is 84, although the two are a little worse in ability, But the two are extremely close in quality, and both are the kind of players who are equally good offensively and defensively.

Zhuang Fei didn't want to lose this game, and Vicky didn't want to lose either, so Zhuang Fei was useless in only half a quarter under the crazy pressure of the Spurs. Because with this defensive intensity, the Celtics' triangle offense is useless at all, so the Boston Celtics are a regular lineup for this game. And the final result of this game is also very satisfactory to Zhuang Fei, the Boston Celtics defeated the Spurs 92-86 at home, and this game Kirilenko and Williams in the direct confrontation performance is also the same as the score of this game, and there is no winner or loser.

The Boston Celtics won this game very hard, but after this game, Zhuang Fei was stunned by another more shocking news.

In another game played at the same time as this game, the Grizzlies bloodied the Timberwolves. (Your support is my biggest motivation.) )
