Zhuang Fei and Kupchak cast their nets everywhere this afternoon, spilling their trade reports to many teams in the NBA, some of these teams agreed, some refused, and some replied quickly, and some were slow to reply, and for Zhuang Fei, the most surprising thing was Zhuang Fei's offer to the Cleveland Cavaliers, the team's response speed was so fast and the answer to the reply was so strange that I didn't know what Zhuang Fei should say, since I didn't know what to say, Then Zhuang Fei also directly took the team's general manager Kupchak to fly to Cleveland to complete the deal in person, because now most of the other teams have agreed, and only Cleveland is missing.

"Zhuang, do we really need to get Hardaway? It's not that you don't know his injuries and current abilities" As soon as he got off the plane, Kupchak said to Zhuang Fei with some regret, in fact, he has always had this doubt since Zhuang Fei left Los Angeles with him, Penny Hardaway, that is, Anfernee Hardaway's reputation Needless to say, this player is not inferior to any player at his peak, and Grant Hill and Jordan are the top three balloon stars in the league, even now his popularity is still extremely strong in the United States, but everyone knows itAlthough he is the leader of the Cavaliers, the Cavaliers are like a team without him, and he is also the favorite player of Cleveland fans now, this team was almost all out of the hospital or at home to pray for this player after Hardaway was injured in the playoffs against the Boston Celtics the year before.

It can be said that his influence in Cleveland is simply outrageous, but this can't hide the fact that his competitive level has declined greatly, in this case, coupled with a large number of injuries that don't know when they will appear, Kupchak can't imagine that the former Jordan successor will have such consequences after coming to his own team, and then the Lakers will be really tragic, and he Zhuang Fei will also be tragic, but even if he has been so worried, the Lakers head coach next to him has always been calm, without the slightest hint of worry, of course, in addition to the attitude of the Lakers head coach next to him, the attitude of the Cavaliers management was actually very surprising to him.

Because the Cavaliers owner Gordon Gund accepted the Lakers' offer as soon as he got the Lakers' fax, and said in his reply that they didn't need any chips, the Lakers just took a player to give them a balanced salary, if the Lakers really wanted Hardaway, they were even willing to hand over the No. 19 first-round pick that the Cavaliers had this year, which simply made Kupchak think that the owner of the Cavaliers was playing an April Fool's joke, sending away the leader of a team and willing not to have any chips, and even taking his own first-round pick, What is this not an April Fool's joke? It's just that after confirming it again and again, Cavaliers boss Gordon Gund really didn't joke with him, it's true.

"Mitch, I'm pretty sure about the player I want, I know what you're worried about, I swear, what you're worried about will never be a problem for the Lakers" In the face of his team's general manager's concern, Zhuang Fei didn't say much else, just smiled and said to Kupchak. It also reassures him, but how can Kupchak rest assured at this time, because at this time, the knights can't wait to send Hardaway away, there must be something wrong with Hardaway, at least in Kupchak's heart, this is the best explanation, originally the general manager of the Lakers reminded Zhuang Fei a few words, and finally saw Zhuang Fei with some excited looks. The Lakers general manager finally chose to shut up, because reason told him that Zhuang Fei's decision at this time would not allow anyone to interfere, and when he thought of this, the Lakers general manager also sighed, obviously, he didn't want to see this happen.

Zhuang Fei and Kupchak were notified of the fact that they would come to Cleveland today, so when Zhuang Fei walked out of the airport, he saw the Knight owner Gand with the team's head coach Lucas coming to pick up the airport in person, and what surprised Zhuang Fei even more was that thousands of fans wearing Penny Hardaway jersey No. 1 jerseys gathered outside the airport, and the signs held by these fans directly made Zhuang Fei and Kupchak stunned in surprise.

"Zhuang. I'm not mistaken, they are holding a sign that tells us to take Hardaway? "Kupchak almost can't imagine this happening in this place, and it's clear that these fans know that their team is going to trade Penny Hardaway, and they also know that the trade is for the Lakers, in this case. When they see the Lakers' head coach and the Lakers' general manager coming, it's good that there are no boos, how can there be such a welcome like this? Leaders who not only welcome but also support their own are being traded, are these people crazy or stupid? At least the Lakers general manager doesn't know if these Cleveland fans are really crazy or stupid, and even Zhuang Fei on the side is confused.

Of course. Regardless of whether Zhuang Fei and Kupchak were confused, the owner of the Cavaliers was very enthusiastic at this time, especially the moment he saw Zhuang Fei appear, the surprise in the eyes of the Knight boss could not be concealed.

"Mr. Zhuang. Mr. Kupchak, welcome to Cleveland, I think now you have seen the enthusiasm of our fans, you don't have to doubt it, they are genuinely welcoming you" Seeing Zhuang Fei and Kupchak, who had been a little stunned when they saw the scene at the airport, the owner of the knight also said with a smile, Obviously, at this time, the owner of the knight naturally saw the doubts of these two. After seeing the owner of his team hugging Zhuang Fei, the thousands of Cavaliers fans on the scene were even more enthusiastic.

"Coach Z, please be sure to take Anferne"

"Mr. Zhuang, if you take Anfernee away, I will be your most loyal fan"

"Coach Z, we're going to support the Lakers next season, so please take Anfernee with you"

In the face of the almost heartfelt and even heart-rending sound that kept coming from his eardrums, Zhuang Fei didn't know how to express his emotions at this time, and when Zhuang Fei looked at the surrounding knight fans, these knight fans and even many of them had red eyes, and some were even in tears, this kind of scene Zhuang Fei had never seen in his life, and looking at these more and more excited fans, Zhuang Fei seemed to have guessed something in his heart at this time.

And when Zhuang Fei and Kupchak boarded Gangde's RV in the eyes of thousands of Cavaliers fans. These fans also did not stop shouting, but after getting into the car, Kupchak couldn't help but speak in confusion.

"What the hell is going on, Mr. Gangde?" Kupchak looked at the knight boss Gordon Gunde with a grim face and asked, Seeing such a scene today has never appeared in his fifty years of life, but at this time, Gunde originally wanted to explain but was preempted by Zhuang Fei on the side.

"Mr. Gunde, I think you all want to trade Anferne, and Anfernee doesn't want to leave. You all want Anfernee to come to the Lakers to win the championship for the first time in his career" Zhuang Fei also sighed at this time, and at this time, seeing Zhuang Fei say the reason, Gang De also nodded, and Kupchak on the side widened his mouth again, in order to let his leader win a championship, fans and management and even the coach on one side unconditionally sent the leader of the team away, has such a thing happened in the NBA? You must know that Kupchak still remembers the scene when he went to Salt Lake City to meet Malone last year, when the whole city burned Malone fans, scolded Malone as a traitor, and even some radical Jazz fans besieged the airport 24 hours a day to intercept Malone at the airport. Although the relationship between the Cavaliers and the Lakers is incomparable to the relationship between the Jazz and the Lakers, the NBA has never happened to see off the leader of their team like this, right? Don't forget, this is a business league, imagine how Magic fans treated Hardaway in the first place in order to get Grant Hill. NBA fans say that some of them are good fans, and some of them are ugly, most of them are 'snobbish and 'possessive', so this approach of Cavaliers fans at this time is definitely something that breaks Kupchak's inherent thinking.

"Mr. Zhuang. I think you should also know that we don't have a lot of ambition as a team, and I don't have a lot of money to make it happen. Our team has always been the most stable team in the league, I don't know how many years we haven't been in the playoffs before Anfernee came, we don't expect to be in the playoffs, and we don't think we have the ability to make the playoffs, this is the reality of our team" After Gunde sighed, Zhuang Fei and Kupchak also nodded, for most teams in the NBA, money is not the only thing, but no money is indeed definitely not possible, and the Cavaliers are definitely such a situation, This team has never had much capital to realize its ambitions, so the Cavaliers owner said that these are things that can be recognized by Zhuang Fei and Kupchak. After seeing Zhuang Fei, they recognized the knight; The boss Gangde also sighed again and continued.

"Anfernee is the most famous player in our history, the biggest player, when he was with the Magic, we never thought that our team would one day have a player of his level, his arrival is the best gift from God, we all love him, he has given everything for us for three years here, I know, he loves this place, he doesn't want to leave here, he wants to bring a championship to the city, but it's just a dream, I know. We can't win a championship, and we know that Anfernee has always wanted a championship, so when I saw that Mr. Zhuang wanted to be traded for Anferne, Lucas and all the Cavaliers players and fans were extremely excited, because we knew that this was Anfernee's last chance, and now his ability and peak are incomparable, although he is the pride of our city, but this does not make those championship teams look at him, so this is also his only chance, we can't miss such an opportunity, so, Mr. Zhuang, I beg you to be able to take Anferne, it's a request from our team and a request from this city."

When he said this, the knight boss also sighed again, at this time, maybe only he knew the sadness in it, and at this time, Zhuang Fei and Kupchak were a little silent, why was Anferneg reluctant to leave the knight? Zhuang Fei of course knows that the former Jordan successor was almost scolded by Magic fans when he left the Magic, Magic fans are typical NBA snobbish fans, and when he left the Suns, he was abandoned by the Suns' management, the Suns' management is definitely one of the most impersonal management of all the NBA management, and after he came to the Cavaliers in frustration, he found that the Cavaliers fans broke out with such love for a veteran like him who had no golden period. When he saw the heartfelt respect from the Cavaliers' management and players, it was as if the Jordan successor, who had been frustrated early in his career, had found his belonging.

And this is the reason why he broke his knee in the Boston Celtics playoffs the year before. In this team he can get everything except the championship, which is the happiest thing for any player, of course, to be able to get the respect of the whole city here This also requires him to have a strong personality, although the knights have always been weak, but in recent years it is not without superstars, such as Rain Man Kemp, etc., but there is no doubt that Rain Man Kemp's personality charm and Hardaway are incomparable.

"Where's Anferinne now?" Zhuang Fei also nodded when he looked at the expectant knight boss in front of him, he came today to take Hardaway away, and after seeing Zhuang Fei agree to his request, the knight boss Gangde was also immediately excited.

"Mr. Zhuang, thank you so much, Anferneh is in his house now" and after Gunde said excitedly. Zhuang Fei also asked Gangde to drive the car directly to Hardaway's home

Zhuang Fei and Kupchak were coming to Hardaway's house, and at this time, there was already another world outside Hardaway's house, and there was also a group of people standing outside the door of Hardaway's single-family villa, this group of people had fans holding various signs and shouting all kinds of slogans, and some Cavaliers players were wandering left and right in front of Hardaway's house, and it was obvious that these people were here to persuade Hardaway to leave.

"Andrei, do you think Carlos is okay? We will let the boss leave as soon as he said it, he kicked him out, I am afraid that the boss still wants to stay here, if I miss this opportunity I will regret it for the rest of my life" Ricky Davis thinks that he has always been a fool, and in the eyes of others he has always known that he is a fool, but although he knows that he is stupid, he is not without intelligence, and the person he admires most in his life is his own boss penny Hardaway, although he doesn't want his boss to leave, But like a lot of people have said, this is Hardaway's best chance, because the league's No. 1 head coach has his eye on him.

"I don't know, but Carlos is the slipperiest guy on our team, I think he can do it," Andre Miller said with a sigh at this time. And the big z on the side is also a little nervous, it can be said that before Boozer, the other Cavaliers players all failed, and they were all blasted out by Hardaway, in this case. Even Boozer, the team's most slippery, is estimated to be difficult to succeed, but for these people, they don't want Hardaway to decide whether to stay when Zhuang Fei comes. Because they also know that Hardaway is incomparable to his peak now, who in the whole United States doesn't know the character of Coach Z? This guy is a typical hardliner, and Hardaway at this time is not the player that the Chinese must have. If the Chinese still sees Hardaway like this after coming, there is a chance that he will throw his sleeves and leave, in this case, even many Cavaliers players who have been on vacation everywhere will immediately rush back from vacation to persuade Hardaway today after getting the news of the team owner.

And just when these Cavaliers players were waiting at the door of Hardaway, the door at the door of Hardaway was opened, and Boozer, the main power forward of the Cavaliers, walked out of the door, and at this time, the Cavaliers fans who had been shouting at the door of Hardaway also looked at Boozer at this time, and at this time, Boozer sighed in the face of so many expectant eyes, and finally nodded. And after seeing Boozer nodding, all these people outside burst out into the most excited shouts, and in this villa area, when many people saw the cheers of this group of people next to the windows in their villas or outside the door, they also slowly closed the doors of their own houses or closed the windows of their own homes and left, it is obvious that these fans were not arrested by the police for the crime of disturbing order because the owners of these villas did not call the police.

And at this time, looking at these excited people, Boozer actually sighed a little in his heart, he never thought that he would do such a thing when he first came to the Cavaliers, even when he came to the NBA, he never thought that he would do such a thing, because he assured Hardaway that if Hardaway does not leave, then he will not renew his contract with the Cavaliers, and he also told Hardaway that his agent has been contacted by Jazz head coach Sloan, you know. The Cavaliers don't have much money, and the salaries of several players that this team now has are not low, although the salary is rising now, but it is difficult for Boozer to renew his contract without a salary cut, and in the end Boozer promised that if Hardaway leaves, he will take a salary cut and renew the contract with the team, you know. This is a loss of millions a year, Boozer has always considered himself a money-loving man, and there are not many things in his life values that can make him give up wealth, but he is willing to give up maybe one or two million a year for Hardaway's championship, and he believes that he will not regret it, because from the first day he entered the NBA and came to the Cavaliers, Hardaway has been worth his everything.

"Carlos, how did you convince the boss to leave" At this time, after seeing Boozer come out, Ricky Davis also asked with a puzzled face, although they both knew that Boozer was slippery. But he didn't think that he would really succeed, and at this time Boozer shook his head, he couldn't say that he was coercing and luring Hardaway to leave. And just when these knight players were surrounding Boozer, there was a square car not far away, and the owner of the RV, these knight players, was also very clear. This belongs to the team owner.

The Chinese came, and at this time, whether it was Boozer or Ricky Davis or Andre Miller, they all looked at each other in their hearts and thought in their hearts, and after the RV stopped, when the Chinese figure got out of the car. These people did see the shadow of the Chinese

"Anferne, Cleveland has shown me a very interesting scene, and it is the most amazing scene I have ever seen in my life."

Zhuang Fei looked at the knight's star in front of him and said with a smile. And at this time, the general manager of the team on Zhuang Fei's side, Kupchak, also nodded, this scene may indeed never appear again in the future, if Zhuang Fei conquers a city, then such a thing happens, and if a player conquers a city and makes a city pay so much for him, even the Magic of the year is still a little worse, of course, Lakers fans cannot support Magic to go to other teams, there is still a difference between the Lakers and the Cavaliers.

It's just that after Zhuang Fei finished speaking, the star of the Cavaliers in front of Zhuang Fei was a meaningless smile, and his face was full of bitterness, he really didn't know what to say now, not long ago Boozer threatened him, if he didn't leave, he didn't know what to say when he didn't renew the contract, of course he knew everything that these people in Cleveland treated him, everyone was working hard for him, and he couldn't give his own return, which was simply unacceptable pain for Hardaway, Even if he doesn't exclude playing for Zhuang Fei or the Lakers, he also knows that he owes the city a lot.

"Zhuang, I hope we will cooperate happily in the future" Hardaway and Zhuang Fei are no strangers, the two were familiar with each other when they were in the Dream Three team, and even the relationship was not bad, and at this time Hardaway also put down all the debts to the Cleveland people in his mind, and then said to Zhuang Fei, and after the Cavaliers finished speaking, the Cavaliers owner Gunde on one side was also relieved, and the Cavaliers head coach Lucas shook his head a little bitterly, what will happen to the Cavaliers next season after Hardaway leaves? He didn't know the bottom of his heart.

"I'm sure this won't disappoint you," Zhuang Fei said with a smile after seeing Hardaway agree to come to the Lakers, while Kupchak on the side was a little worried, because he was not entirely sure whether the deal with obvious flaws would be good or bad for the Lakers after it was completed

"President, it's not good, something big is going to happen, look at this"

At the NBA headquarters in New York, David Stern was preparing for tomorrow's draft in his office, and at this time, NBA deputy director Stuart Jackson hurriedly came in with a fax, and kept shouting loudly when he came in, as if something earth-shattering had happened. This also made David Stern a little stunned.

"What's so flustered?" David Stern said with some reproach, and at this time Stewart did not answer, and directly put a fax on David Stern's desk, and at this time David Stern picked it up and looked at it, and after a while, his face was also sideways, this is a multi-party trade application form, and the name of the player on this trade application makes the NBA president's hand tremble a little.

The Los Angeles Lakers sent Shaq O'Neal and Van Exel

The Sacramento Kings sent Chris Webber and McBibby and this year's No. 17 pick

The Rockets send BrandMiller

The Magic sent Grant Hill and the No. 7 pick this year

New York sent Alan Houston, Marcus Camby, and Coatthomas and the team's No. 5 pick in this year's draft

The Cavaliers sent away the team's leading player, Anfernee Hardaway, and his own No. 19 pick

In the end, the Los Angeles Lakers got Grant Hill from the Magic, Anfernee Hardaway from the Cavaliers and Chris Webber from the Kings, as well as the No. 19 pick from the Cavaliers and the No. 17 pick from the Kings

The Kings got Brandon Miller from the Rockets and the No. 7 pick from the Magic, as well as a 3 million trade exception from the Cavaliers and a 3 million trade exception from the Rockets

The Rockets got Camby, a defensive center from New York

The Magic got Alan Houston from New York and the No. 5 pick

New York gets Shak O'Neal and Van Exel from the Lakers (Lakers 3-year, 50 million sign-to-trade)

The Knights got McBibby from the Kings and Coatthomas from New York

The appearance of O'Neal, Webb, Grant Hill and Hardaway on this list made the NBA president also tremble a little, when Zhuang Fei went to the Celtics in his first year, that is, three years ago, Zhuang Fei operated the transaction that is now the most involved and the most team in NBA history has been mentioned by many people now, and this time, although this transaction is not as big as the one three years ago, but the name in it is definitely not comparable to the one three years ago, just O'Neal Webb, Hill and Hardaway are all former NBA dominants.

"President, do you want to refuse now?" For Stewart, he proposed to veto the biggest deal three years ago, and this time it was no different, and while Hill and Hardaway are not as brave as they used to be, they can't be traded and be on the same team either.

"No, agreed" Just as Stewart was thinking about how to veto the deal, David Stern spoke, and this made Stewart shake his head helplessly in the end.

"This kid is so capable of making trouble," looked at the back of Stewart leaving, and David Stern said with a wry smile in his heart. (To be continued.) )
