Chapter 415: Deals and Good News

Rondo, as the league's leading point guard, has no shortage of teams to pursue, although his shooting shortcomings are obvious, but after the Celtics really let the wind out, it also attracted offers from many teams. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

The Mavericks, Rockets, Lakers, Knicks, Kings, these five teams are the most active among the many offer teams, but from the beginning, Danny Ainge was inclined to trade Rondo to the West, so the Knicks were simply eliminated.

Among the four teams in the West, Danny Ainge is more inclined to the offers of the Mavericks and Lakers, and the offers of the Rockets and the Kings have been put aside by him at this time. The King's offer was similarly insincere in Danny Angie's eyes.

So at this time, Danny Ainge began to start further negotiations with the Mavericks' offer to the Lakers, but at this time, Danny Ainge suddenly found that there was an opportunity to rob in the free market.

Although Li Yang's whereabouts have been confirmed, the other two big-name small forwards James and Anthony in the free market have not, according to some revealed news, James has become more and more inclined to return to the Cavaliers, and in order to be able to offer a larger contract to sign James, the Cavaliers have to urgently clear the salary space.

In fact, Danny Ainge had been paying attention to this matter before this, but the Cavaliers were still hesitating at the time, and now the Cavaliers are urgently looking for a trade, and it is clear that they have been relieved by James.

Whether James stays with the Heat or goes to the Cavaliers does not have much influence on the Celtics, but if he can take the opportunity to fight for some interests for the Celtics, Danny Ainge will naturally not refuse.

In order to clear salary space, the Cavaliers urgently need to send Jarrett Jack, Sergey Karashov, and Tyler Zeller to the contract, so they found the Nets, and the Nets are indeed willing to accept these three, but the Nets can only provide Marcus Thornton, who matches the salary, to trade, so that the Cavaliers will not get the effect of clearing space at all.

At this time, if the Cavaliers still want to complete the trade, they must find a team with salary space to generate trade exceptions, or players with trade exceptions can eat into the contract, but now that the free market has just opened, many teams are not willing to lock up salary space at will, and it is not easy for them to find the right team.

After some consideration, the Cavaliers approached the Celtics, and after two years of constant trades, the Celtics not only have a large number of draft picks, but also a large number of trade exceptions, and for this the Cavaliers are willing to provide another first-round pick.

Although the Cavaliers' record will definitely improve if they get James, and the first-round pick may not be very valuable, this is also a first-round pick after all, and Marcus Thornton is very good both as an instant force and a trade chip, so Danny Ainge agreed.

Of course, there is also a very important reason that the Celtics are indeed rich, and there are many trading exceptions in their hands, even if they give one away, it will still not affect the subsequent operation.

On the afternoon of the opening of free agency, the three-way trade between the Celtics, Cavaliers, and Nets was officially approved by the league, and the Cavaliers sent Jarrett Jack, Sergey Karashov, Tyler Zeller, A 2015 first-round pick, a second-round pick and trade exception that was protected by the Celtics' top 55 picks in 2015, and the signing rights of three players, of course, these three players are basically useless, these three players are all players who were drafted by the Celtics before but did not sign, and the earliest one was even a player who participated in the draft in 2004. The Nets sent Marcus Thornton and got Jack and Karashove.

The Celtics acquired swingman Marcus Thornton, center Tyler Zeller and the Cavaliers a 2015 first-round pick in the exchange of a trade exception, a 2015 second-round pick, and three dispensable signings.

It's hard to determine who wins with each of the three teams taking what they want, but at least the Celtics didn't lose out on this one.

The day after the three parties completed the deal, James announced his decision to return to the Cavaliers, and for a while, there was an uproar in the outside world.

James announced that he would leave the Cavaliers to join the Heat in the summer of 2010, which caused a lot of scolding from the media, and some Cavaliers fans even burned James' jersey. The same is true at this time, some Heat fans burned James' jerseys, and many media began to scold James again.

As a result, on the Internet, whether it is reporters or fans, there are suddenly fewer people who question Li Yang, and many people turn to pay attention to James's movements, after all, James is still considered by the outside world to be the first person in the league at this time, and his every move is obviously more concerned.

Of course, there are also people who associate Li Yang with James joining the Cavaliers, for example, some people laughed that Li Yang defeated James in the Finals to prompt the other party to decide to leave the Heat and return to the Cavaliers, and James can really return to the Cavaliers, but because in the free market, Li Yang's Celtics helped the Cavaliers clear the salary space, which I don't know whether to say ironic or funny.

Some fans even joked that Li Yang was the culprit of James' decision, and it was Li Yang that Heat fans should really "hate" at the moment.

However, neither the Heat fans nor the media can really attribute the reason to Li Yang at this moment, after all, the decision is personal, so at this time, the outside world is still scolding James, and the original doubts about Li Yang have almost dissipated.

Li Yang was happy to be clean, and the Celtics naturally couldn't act as if nothing had happened, and after a series of in-depth negotiations, the Celtics finally finalized the final plan to trade Rondo.

When Danny Angie came to ask for Li Yang's opinion with Rondo's trade plan, Li Yang did not express his opinion. Li Yang knows that Danny Angie respects his opinion and shows him that the team is determined to rebuild with him as the core, but in Li Yang's opinion, he has just joined and does not know much about the team, and Stevens's tactical concept has only been exchanged in words, so it is not suitable to express too many opinions at this time.

What's more, Li Yang really doesn't have time to pay attention to this matter for the time being, because Bill Duffy brought a very big piece of good news at this time.
