Chapter 128: Bombshell
"Hello, I'm Kevin Love!"
"Hello, I know you, you did well in the draft!" Zheng Ke stretched out his right hand to hold Lefou's big hand, and expressed his goodwill to Lefu with a smile.
Lefu was a little embarrassed by Zheng Ke, but he remembered that Zheng Ke was the first person to welcome him, and took the lead in standing up and applauding during the draft, and he had a very good impression of Zheng Ke, so he also showed a happy smile.
The two had a preliminary acquaintance in this small arena and left a good impression on each other.
Zheng Ke is undoubtedly the biggest star on the scene, after the Olympics, his status rose very quickly, faintly approaching the first group of the NBA, his arrival, so that the entire arena instantly became starry.
In the end, the young players of the Timberwolves seemed to be influenced by their peers Zheng Ke and played very beautifully, and several violent dunks amazed Zheng Ke, a well-known dunk player, and the Timberwolves won the game without injury
In the Timberwolves' office.
McHale smoked a cigarette and flipped through the various team profiles in a cloud of smoke. The ashtray full of cigarette butts indicates that the refrigerator has been tangled for a long time.
"! Three outdated old guys also want to change Al! McHale pinched off the cigarette butt, crumpled the materials, and threw them into the pile of trash.
After not playing for a long time, McHale's hand plummeted, and the crumpled paper ball was completely deflected, and the huge force on it suddenly knocked over the trash can, scattering garbage all over the ground.
"Jack! Jack! McHale was even more irritated and shouted his assistant's name.
"My dear Kevin, you don't seem to be in good shape, do you?" A thief with a thief poked in through the doorway, jokingly saying something like this.
"Huh?"
McHale looked up, and suddenly his face disappeared like sunshine, revealing a smile of surprise: "Oh hoho, Jeff, long time no see!" He got up from his chair, spread his arms, and walked to the door.
"Long time no see, Coach!"
Zheng Ke suddenly jumped into the office, startling McHale and giving him a huge surprise: "Zheng! You're here too! That's great! “
McHale's smile widened, and he turned to Zheng Ke and gave Zheng a strong hug.
After the three of them exchanged pleasantries for a while, an anxious McHale was the first to come up with the theme.
"Zheng, I have a few offers from other teams here, you can take a look first!" McHale walked back to his desk, pulled out a few papers, and said earnestly.
"Haode, General Manager." Zheng Ke took it with both hands, sat on the sofa with his butt, and began to study it carefully. Schwartz on the side is also probing his brain, looking like a dog-headed military advisor.
"That's good!" Schowertz stretched out his hand and pointed to a page.
"Hmmm! Nuggets? Zheng Ke was surprised, and he studied it carefully: "The Nuggets are willing to send their star Iverson in exchange for Jefferson, McCantz, Jarridge and the Timberwolves' second-round draft picks next year!" “
Zheng Ke was puzzled and asked McHale: "Didn't the Nuggets play quite well?" Why are you going to trade again, and you still want to trade Iverson! “
Speaking of this, McHale smiled proudly: "Zheng, you don't know anything. The drawbacks of the Golden Twin Guns have been exposed, and they were done by the Lakers last year, and the Nuggets have been peddling Iverson this summer, originally they wanted to steal Billups from us. But I took the lead and made a trade request to the Nuggets, and now under my trade request, the Nuggets have started the idea of an inside and outside combination of Anthony + Jefferson, and they are now one of the most fierce teams pursuing Jefferson! ”
"That's right!" Zheng Ke suddenly realized that he admired McHale's operation a little, but in this way, the three teams (Timberwolves, Pistons, Nuggets) each had their own needs, and no one knew whether the other two teams had negotiated in private, and the situation became even more chaotic
"What does Al think?" Zheng Ke felt the need to ask the person in question what he thought.
McHale gritted his teeth and said, "That white-eyed wolf wants to go to the big city, and he wants us to trade him to Los Angeles or New York!" Both the Clippers and the Knicks seem to be willing to pay for him at the moment, especially Dolan's fool."
"How?"
"The Knicks are willing to give anyone!"
"Is that so?" Zheng Ke was a little surprised, he felt as if he had underestimated Jefferson's market: "Anyone? ”
"Yes, but you look at the Knicks' crooked melons and cracked dates, which one can be taken out for a fight? Don't forget, they played worse than us last season! ”
"I think so!" After Zheng Ke flipped through the Knicks' lineup, he was taken aback and said, "Zach Randolph, Jamal Crawford, David Lee, Wilson Chandler, Nate Robinson, and even Stephen Marbury!" ”
"It's not funny at all, Zheng!" McHale said solemnly: "Do you think these unmotivated guys can help our team?" I'd rather get an injured Iverson, a hundred times better than them! ”
Indeed, in the eyes of today's NBA, the Knicks are an abyss, the Knicks have never had a day of high morale, and McHale will never want a low-spirited player to come to the Timberwolves, a young guard, which will be a locker room cancer and a devastating disaster.
"I don't think we're going to trade for a few picks?" Schwertz tentatively offered his opinion.
This hits McHale's pride again: "I've spoken to the 76ers and they're willing to give away a protected first-round pick in '09. ”
"And what do we pay?" Zheng Ke asked.
McHale smirked: "A 10-year second-round pick and a small contract that takes in Rodney Carney and Calvin Booth." ”
Zheng Ke shook his head again and again, and said in disbelief: "It's really unscientific!" ”
"So, with our own draft picks, we still have two first-round picks next year. Draft picks are not so much in demand in comparison, and I think it's more important to change to an instant fight! McHale got down to business and spoke his mind.
Then, a few people didn't speak again, quietly looking through the information in their hands, and the office gradually fell into a strange atmosphere.
"I think we can do that."
Zheng Ke thought about it again and again, and put forward his own suggestion: "We can pull the Pistons and the Nuggets into a three-way deal." ”
"Three-way deal?"
"Yes," Zheng Ke put down the information, took out a pen and wrote on the paper, "Now the Nuggets want to get Jefferson, and the Pistons want to get Jefferson, but at the same time, they are also very eager for Iverson's expiring big contract, so"
Zheng Ke paused, attracted the attention of the two people, and continued: "So we can make a three-way trade, we Nuggets get Jefferson, Pistons get Iverson, and we can get Billups!" ”
McHale shook his head and said disapprovingly: "Then we are at a loss!" ”
Zheng Ke smiled confidently and continued: "Of course it won't end like this, after all, the salary of the three parties is not equal. He went on to write on the paper: "We can take advantage of the opportunity to get some quality players, like Afflalo of the Pistons! ”
"Afraro?" McHale didn't have the impression of the player in his mind at all, and he flipped through the information to look it up. Aaron Afflaro, 1.96 meters tall, plays as a shooting guard, averaging 12.9 minutes per game, averaging 3.7 points per game and shooting 20.8% from three-point range?
The refrigerator was furious: "Zheng, don't be kidding! ”
"I'm not kidding!" Zheng Ke said aggrievedly and seriously: "He is an excellent wing defender, and his defense is very haode!" ”
"It's enough for us to have you defending, okay!" Schowatts slapped Zheng Ke's ass on the sidelines.
Although Zheng Ke was very useful, he said righteously: "General Manager Kevin, I'm really not kidding, Aaron Afflaro is an excellent wing defender, and taking him under his command while he is not yet famous is what we should do, the right thing to do!" ”
Zheng Ke's eyes were firm and sincere, and McHale was defeated: "I hope what you said is true, ZK." ”
On September 28, Beijing time, the NBA officially announced a blockbuster transaction news, the Timberwolves, Pistons, and Nuggets completed a three-way deal.
The Nuggets sent away four-time scoring champion and eternal fighter Allen Iverson. Got Timberwolves stars Jefferson, McCantz, Pistons' Antonio McDyce and Cheke Sambu.
The Pistons sent Finals MVP Billups, Antonio McDyce, Check Sambu, Aaron Afralo, and Allen Iverson and the Timberwolves added Calvin Booth.
The Timberwolves sent last season's 20+10 star Jefferson, scoring guards McCantz and Calvin Booth, and got Billups and Aaron Afflalo from the Pistons.
As soon as this deal came out, the entire NBA league was like being thrown into a bombshell and completely tumbled
(PS: I don't know if this trading is okay?) )
