Chapter 677: No. 3 Pick and Kobe

Arenas is not an unknown youngster, and since the end of the Finals, the Boston Celtics backup guard has become almost one of the hottest figures in the NBA, even more popular than Maddy, which is understandable, although Maddy has no problem winning the final Finals MVP.

However, as the scoring champion of the Finals, as the most important part of the Boston Celtics' tactical suppression of the Spurs, almost everyone believes that Arenas is not worse than Maddie in terms of the importance and value of the Finals and the analysis of various reasons for the data, but the final Finals MVP vote is a little surprising, you must know that before the sixth game of the Finals begins, most of the media are more optimistic about Arenas completing the counterattack in this year's Finals.

It's just that the final Finals MVP votes are Maddie's 5 votes and Arenas is 4 votes, just one vote difference made him fall off the Finals MVP, which is also the reason why Arenas is the hottest topic in the United States in recent days, although this guard has now missed the MVP of the Finals, but there is no doubt that he has entered the ranks of NBA's first-line stars and even super first-line stars, although he is not as good as Maddie and Kobe Bryant's super first-line stars in terms of level, but it is not far behind, At least it's a little higher than the first-line stars like Ray Allen and Szzczebiak, a bit similar to the status of Pierce, the Timberwolves' current second-in-command.

So in this case, almost after Zhuang Fei and the Boston Celtics restarted the Arenas deal, soon, almost half of the teams in the league made an offer to the Boston Celtics, which also pushed the already hot Arenas again, and in fact, everyone knows that for the Boston Celtics, whether it is for draft picks or to find a famous star, this team hopes to complete the deal as soon as possible, after all, as the defending champion, No defending champion wants their team to be surrounded by endless trade rumors.

And because of this, almost the next day. Many of the media that had just left Boston because of the finals had gathered in the city again. Of course, compared to the madness of these reporters now, in fact, most NBA teams are even more crazy, and this year is the long-awaited platinum draft year for many teams, and perhaps for many teams, as long as they can draft a good rookie, they can rise. But the same. In addition to being less attractive than Anthony and James and Milicic among this year's rookies, Arenas can completely blow up other rookies, and in this case, Arenas is also pulling the attention of many teams and even coaches away from the upcoming NBA draft.

"Gilbert? Yes, we're interested in him, he's a great player, he's an MVP-level player, and I'm not going to hide my love for him, it's true. I think he was able to achieve more than he did in Boston, is there an offer to the Boston Celtics? Of course, that's for sure, we've already made an offer to the Boston Celtics, we have the No. 5 pick this year, and we could have picked a lot of good players in this signing. Like TJ Ford, like Hinrich, like Chris Bosh, etc., but there's no doubt that Arenas is fatal to us, and we can't wait for him to form the strongest inside and outside combination with Brand."

After the news broke that the Boston Celtics traded Arenas, the craziest pursuit of the Boston Celtics backup guard was Clippers head coach Dunleavy, the former Lakers and Trail Blazers head coach who returned to Los Angeles to coach the Clippers after being humiliated by the New York Knicks last season. And the head coach of the Clippers almost immediately gave the Boston Celtics an offer of this year's NBA No. 5 pick + the team's starting small forward Battier, which is definitely an extremely unnatural offer, you know, this year's NBA draft. The value of the top three picks is equivalent to an All-Star starter, because whether it is Anthony or James or Milicic, they are sure to be able to become NBA All-Star starters, and these three are even known as the stars who can enter the top 30 in history, and in addition to the top three draft picks, the top ten picks are also equivalent to an All-Star level player in value, and the Clippers' No. 5 pick this year is not as good as the top three. But it is also the best draft pick that allows the Boston Celtics and Zhuang Fei to get the players they want, and in fact, plus a top role player who can currently contribute 13 points per game and has strong defensive ability, Battier, this is an extremely reasonable offer, and in fact, for Dunleavy, he also thinks so, Arenas is good enough, both ability and potential are extremely good, but the chips taken out by the Clippers are also against the sky, It can be exchanged for Arenas at the same price, or even better.

"Arenas? We're not interested, compared to Arenas, our Mobley is not bad, we didn't make an offer to the Boston Celtics It's true, we're not going to trade any player with the No. 1 pick, we have a chance to get Anthony, we'll pick Anthony, he's better than Arenas, he can lead us to the same results as the Grizzlies and the Bulls, I'm already looking forward to next season, the combination of Anthony and Mobley plus Kwame will make us invincible, We're going to be one of the most competitive teams in the West."

Unlike Clippers head coach Dunleavy's desperate pursuit of Arenas, as the winner of this year's No. 1 pick, the new head coach of the Raptors, Kevin O'Neal, almost immediately stated his position on the other side, it is clear that for Arenas, the Celtics guard is really not as attractive as Anthony, and in fact, it is also true, not to mention Anthony, who is the double king of the NCAA and ACC leagues. Even the Hawks, who got the No. 3 pick, expressed no interest in Arenas at the first time, but the Nuggets, who got the No. 3 pick, were willing to make their biggest sacrifice for Arenas like the Clippers, but it is clear that the team has not yet determined whether they must pay their No. 3 pick for Arenas.

Of course, for the NBA, now for Arenas, many teams have begun to make their positions clear, almost all teams in the lottery area except the Raptors and Hawks have made their attitude clear to the Boston Celtics, although some are desperately pursuing, some are immediately refused, but the other team is not so much at this time, but is very hesitant.

The Los Angeles Lakers have always been considered Arenas' most likely next home, and Kobe Bryant is also considered to be the best choice for the Lakers to exchange for Arenas, especially after Kobe Bryant's confusing incident in Eagle County not long ago, and in fact, in this trade rumor, the Lakers were the first to contact the Celtics, which can also be seen that this team does want Arenas, but it is surprising that When those media asked about the head coach of this team, Phil Jackson, they were a little confused by Phil Jackson's words.

"He's a great young player, he's a championship for the Boston Celtics, are we interested in him? Of course, I think all head coaches in the world would like to have a player who can help the Lakers, but Kobe Bryant has always been one of the most important players on our team, he was one of the best offensive players on the outside of the league last season, he averaged more than 30 points per game, and although he has been in trouble lately, we will always support him, and he is still the first choice in Los Angeles."

Recently, the head coach of the Lakers, Phil Jackson, has been very busy, except for Kobe Bryant because of the loss in the playoffs this year and almost most of the media pointed the finger at him, which made him feel extremely bad, in this case, the Lakers guard has also encountered some troubles that are not on the court, and now Phil Jackson is still talking about two extremely important free agent signings while solving these troubles for Kobe, These two free agent signings are not even worse than the Arenas and Kobe trade in terms of importance, if the Lakers can really sign those two free agents, then their need for Arenas is not very great, in this case, although he made an offer to the Celtics, but the terms of the offer are not as the outside world thinks Kobe and Arenas for one. So the head coach of the Lakers has also been doing tai chi when asked about Arenas.

In fact, this is also the problem that Zhuang Fei is encountering now, although there are many quotations now, there are not many that really satisfy Zhuang Fei. The Lakers are hoping to trade Kobe for Arenas plus Kirilienko, while the Nuggets are hoping to trade the team's boss Fan Maniac and two future first-round picks for Arenas, while other lotto teams like the Clippers are willing to trade their draft picks this year and one of the team's potential players for Arenas.

"Danny, are the Eagles really reluctant to come up with their No. 2 pick?" Zhuang Fei looked at Danny Anji who came in and hurriedly asked.

"Yes" Finally, under Zhuang Fei's disappointed eyes, Danny Angie also said helplessly, this Chinese wants to take James, as long as there is a second pick, he will definitely be able to take James, but the Hawks are not interested in Arenas trading their team's second pick.

"The good news, though, is that the Nuggets are willing to come up with their No. 3 pick."
