Chapter 107: Trading Deadline

On March 16, 2012, countless American media outlets have focused on the teams that have been rumored before, this is the NBA trade deadline, if the end of Shijie does not come early, then there will be a bombshell, and at this time Winnie the Pooh and George Carr are also sitting in the Nuggets management office, and they will submit a trade request to the league shortly after.

Luo Yun is the first time to participate in such a meeting, he sat on the chair with an indifferent face in a suit and leather shoes, the attitude of the Nuggets has been very clear, and Luo Yun's arrival has also confirmed his position as the leader of the team, in the past, it was Nene who sat here at this time, but today the Brazilian is no longer in the arena, the management has communicated with him, Nene did not say much, the NBA itself is a business league, and he has nothing to say when he is treated like this.

The little guy didn't express any opinions, although he attended the meeting, but the Nuggets management just asked him to go through the motions, after all, Luo Yun has not led the team to the playoffs, that is, Winnie the Pooh's identity has been recognized, but the right to speak is still far away.

At this time, the Wizards in Washington and the Clippers in Los Angeles have already started discussions about Zuihou, as long as the list of the most Haode is determined, this three-way deal will also be successfully completed.

However, Denver at this time did not attract people's attention, and the topic that people really cared about was in Los Angeles, the old fish Fisher, the Lakers' five-time champion who would be sent away by the Purple and Gold, Kupchak's reason was to save money, this statement obviously aroused the anger in the hearts of countless Lakers fans, in their opinion, even if the old fish has declined sharply this season, but given his outstanding contributions to the Lakers, he cannot be traded. In the eyes of fans, the old fish can only live in the Lakers for the rest of their lives. Can't be abandoned by the Lakers at their most helpless.

Bryant declined all media interviews. Obviously, Bryant is also announcing his dissatisfaction with the departure of the old fish in this way, but now the exact news has not come out, everyone is waiting, including Winnie the Pooh in the conference room at this time, don't forget, the stinky boy is also a Lakers fan.

So in this difficult wait, the Philadelphia 76ers, Memphis Grizzlies, Toronto Raptors and Indiana Pacers took the lead and couldn't sit still!

Show in the latest message. The 76ers have completed a trade with the Grizzlies, with the 76ers sending Ricky Sanchez to Sam Young for the Grizzlies, while the Pacers have completed a trade with the Raptors, and the Pacers have sent a second-round pick to get Leandro Barbosa from the Raptors!

For the Raptors' brain-dead transaction, even Luo Yun thinks it's a little incredible, just kidding!

An offensive guard who averages 13.3 points per game is worth a second-round pick? Although it may be to free up salary space, it is still a little puzzling that the Brazilian lightning is so cheap, even if it is not good, it is the best sixth man in 07!

It is said that the Raptors have become extremely brainless since they sent Carter away, and now this one has shocked countless people's jaws. But just as people lamented that the Pacers were taking advantage of the big advantage (the Pacers were clustered), another trade appeared.

The New Jersey Nets sent their Turkish center Memet Oku. Forward Sean Williams and a restricted (top three protected) first-round pick in 2012, in exchange for small forward Gerald Wallace from the Portland Trail Blazers, the former Bobcats' hairband brother, in people's eyes this is New Jersey preparing for a future move to Brooklyn, anyway, the Nets will get Wallace at the same time as their outside defense will also be improved, and in Loyun's opinion, Gerrard's departure from the Trail Blazers is also a good thing, after all, staying in Rose Garden is indeed a bit scary, Maybe I'll be scrapped by the veterinarians of the pioneers.

However, the news was quickly overshadowed by another deal, and Los Angeles finally dropped a bombshell under the attention of countless media outlets.

The Los Angeles Lakers sent Luke Wharton, Capono and a 2012 first-round pick in exchange for Cavaliers backup point guards Sessions and Eenga, as well as a 2013 first-round pick (originally belonging to the Heat).

So this deal was ruthlessly despised by Los Angeles fans, if they knew that the Lakers needed a point guard, they should have made a big fuss in last year's draft, at that time, as long as they were willing to trade a first-round top 5 draft picks, it was very likely to get the stinky boy who was calling the wind and rain in Denver, you must know that if there was no Nuggets to insert a bar, Luo Yun was likely to fall out of the top three, okay! The Lakers gave up a rookie game MVP and found a backup point guard for the Cavaliers, Sessions, damn it, who is this guy? Fans in Los Angeles were dumbfounded!

Of course, this is just the angry YY of Los Angeles fans, because the Lakers didn't think about Winnie the Pooh at all, and even at that time, it was difficult for the Lakers to get a high-value signing.

The reason is very simple, the Lakers like to rob, and in recent years, in addition to being selected by them, it seems that they have all been fished from other teams, which can be seen from their past history.

The next trade came between the Spurs and the Warriors, with San Antonio trading Richard Jefferson and a first-round pick for Captain Jackson, who helped the Spurs win the championship trophy in 2003, so the Spurs are ready to bring the old captain back to their team, and the implications are self-evident, and it seems that this year's West will be another battle; After that, Portland made another move, trading center Marcus Camby from Houston for Jonny Flynn, Hakeem Thabit and a 2012 second-round pick (from the Timberwolves).

The Nuggets' conference room seemed a little silent, they never moved in the dense trade bombardment, it seems that the Denver people are preparing to come to a whistle and want to make a move at the Zuihou moment, and the same is true for the Lakers, and the Los Angeles are also waiting, so in the anxious waiting of countless media, the two teams did not even release a fart, and the Los Angeles began to fantasize that the Lakers were letting go of the empty cannon before, because they were likely not to trade the old fish Fisher, but just when people wanted to enter Fisher, the Lakers made a move!

On March 16, 2012, the Lakers' five-time champion Derrick Fisher left the team, and the Los Angeles Lakers made a blockbuster deal with the Houston Rockets, in which the Lakers sent Derrick Fisher and a first-round pick to Odom (on December 11, 2011, the Lakers sent the Lama and a 2012 second-round pick to the Dallas Mavericks in exchange for an $8.9 million trade exception and a protected 2012 first-round pick), and traded power forward Jordan Hill from the Rockets. And Lao Yu became the first Lakers player in history to be traded to the Houston Rockets, for which countless Los Angeles fans began to criticize Kupchak on the Internet, and Lao Yu himself also said that he was not willing to leave Los Angeles, and the media used the word "bomb away the old fish" to satirize the Lakers management, obviously Fisher's departure was completely unilateral by the management.

"Alright, it's our turn!" The general manager of the Nuggets finally spoke, and before the news that the Lakers sent away the old fish could be digested, the long-awaited Denver people also began to move, George Carr looked at Winnie the Pooh on the side, as if he wanted to read his thoughts at the moment from his eyes, you must know that the relationship between Nene and the little guy is not bad, and the two have not had any quarrels in the locker room, but such a big living person, it seems difficult for the league's first-class interior line to leave like this.

Now Winnie the Pooh has a sense of belonging to the Nuggets, it can be said that he is now dedicated to the team's record, but when he sees this scene, he will inevitably have a trace of alternative thoughts, a Warriors who have worked hard for the Nuggets for ten seasons will be traded by the team, which is really unacceptable, you must know that Nene has been playing for the Nuggets since 2002, until the tenth year this year, so he can leave, so what will happen to him, a rookie who has just arrived in the team for half a year?

You must know that most players actually want to play for a team for the rest of their lives, so many players have moved their families to the city where they played, but a decision by the management has made them leave the land where they have struggled for many years, this huge sense of gap is really unacceptable, Luo Yun does not know if he will be abandoned by the Nuggets like Nene one day in the future, and then go to an unfamiliar team to start over.

This is the cruelty of the business league, and perhaps from the moment he stepped into the NBA, Winnie the Pooh should be ready.

At the end of the day's trade deadline, the Washington Wizards, Denver Nuggets and Los Angeles Clippers completed a large three-way deal, with Brazilian center Nene Hilario moving to the Wizards, the Nuggets getting the Wizards' 7-foot center JaVale McGee, and the Clippers getting Wizards guard Nick Young, known as Kobe Bryant.

That is to say, the Wizards directly gave up their hum two generals in this trade, of course, the specific situation is this, the Wizards completed two transactions at the same time, the Nuggets sent Nene and got the Wizards' McGee and Ronnie Turyaf, the Clippers sent Brian Cook and a first-round pick to get Nick Young, and the Wizards sent two Yang, Aki and Turyaf to get None, Cook and a first-round pick from the Clippers.

At the moment when this news was released, the media across the United States were congratulating Chris Paul and Winnie the Pooh, these two guys reached a combination with the legendary Hum Ha two generals, this kind of thing is not common in the NBA, of course, Paul is not bad, at least Eryang's scoring ability is good, if the tacit understanding Paul can also add an assist, but Winnie the Pooh is more embarrassed, people only hope that he will not be assimilated by McGee in future games and become the next brain-dead!
