Chapter 187: The Big Deal, It's Coming
Li Wan knows something.
Naturally, the general managers of the major teams were like cats that smelled fishy, and they called Otis, the general manager of the Magic team, as soon as possible.
Whether it is Li Wan or Howard, they are all "one burst and one defense" this year.
There are three "best defense" players this year, and two of them are in Orlando.
In this way, it is normal for these two to have a fight......
Where is such a great deal of luck that your little Orlando can have?
"Sleeping Dragon and Phoenix Chick", there is only one of them you can have!
Otis grimacingly declined call after call.
When the microphone on the table no longer rings.
It was already half past two in the middle of the night.
He knows the Magic's current sweet spot won't last long.
But he thought the collapse of the Magic was because of the team's salary.
I didn't expect ......
But it's because of the most bloody struggle for power!
What he didn't expect the most was that the "catalyst" was actually Artest! - Lao Tzu asked you to help win the championship, but you came to make trouble!
I knew that last summer, I should have spent more money to sign Ariza!
It's not worth it, at least it won't make the current situation so bad......
You know, if the whole world knows that you can trade, then the value of the trade cannot be maximized!
Therefore, his first reaction was to stabilize the emotions of the two people.
Then the troublemakers will be traded away!
If you can't solve the problem, then solve the person who raised the problem first!
As a general manager, you must not be rigid!
Just to ensure the implementation of the plan, it is necessary for him to talk to Li Wan and Howard.
Whether Artest can leave or not is a matter of his thoughts.
The most important thing is whether Howard and Li Wan are willing to do what he does.
Especially Li Wan.
Just before the rumors of a trade Artest came out, he immediately made a strong statement in front of the media and did not agree to trade Artest.
Therefore......
In Otis's opinion, whether his plan can be implemented or not depends on Li Wan's attitude.
Why don't you give him a call?
Otis knew very well that if he made Richie DeVos known, he would definitely make a phone call to get him to leave.
Anyway, if you want to ask Li Wan's opinion, then I might as well give this money to Li Wan!
But in the current situation, from the perspective of a general manager, it is very necessary to give Li Wan a call!
After all......
This is the first person in the history of the Magic team!
Having made up his mind, Otis got up and brewed himself a cup of strong black coffee.
Thick to bitter, bitter to tremble......
Only such a black coffee can refresh him.
During this period, he thought about how to mention this matter to Li Wan, which was a bit of a pity......
He thought of 100 words, but he still didn't impress Li Wan.
No matter what he said, Li Wan's response was only one sentence: "If you trade Ron, then trade me too!"
In addition, Li Wan directly made his words clear:
"Man, you know, it was a tough decision, but Ron faced the media a few times and publicly accused Dwight of who it was, and I can't pretend nothing happened......
….
Seeing that Li Wan had made all his words clear, Otis could only sigh.
"Man, wait for news!"
With that, he hung up the phone.
Li Wan listened to the busy tone on the phone and understood what Otis meant: either the news that Dwyane Howard was traded, or the news that he was traded.
This team's
The management has always been able to "cut through the mess with a quick knife"!
Early the next morning.
The news that Artest and Howard almost got into a fight in front of the media also caused a stir.
Fans have different opinions, with some believing that Howard is a bit of a disagreeable one: "He should have known that the Magic always lost more and won less when the ball was in his hand, but he did it anyway, and Ron was unhappy with him, and in my opinion, it should be, no one likes this kind of person who destroys the team's chemistry!"
Others think Artest is not aware of the situation: "He has only been in the team for less than a season, and his name was not on the list of champions last year, so he is not qualified to say such things!"
There are also some who think that it is the management and the head coach: "They should be more sure who is the boss of this team, instead of letting Li Wan and Howard rely on their own abilities, it is normal for two young players like this who have reached the top level of the league to have conflicts with each other, the key is management, anyway, in my opinion, the management of the Magic team is too bad!"
……
In the midst of these discussions, the finals of the 09~10 season have officially arrived.
The eyes of the fans returned to the field.
This year's finals matchup list undoubtedly exceeded the expectations of most fans.
But it's definitely the most anticipated matchup.
If you want to know what the "heart of a champion" is, then you should listen to their stories.
Boston Celtics, and Dallas Mavericks......
Two old guys who have gone through all kinds of hardships stand on the final stage of the season.
What kind of ending should it be, so as to be worthy of the ups and downs along the way.
No matter what the outcome is, there is always a group of old guys who are going to make their dreams come true!
Countless fans want to be witnesses......
So by the time the finals were halfway through, the number of viewers in the United States had already reached 20 million.
Although it is not as good as last year, it is definitely at the top of so many finals since Michael Jordan.
You have to ask which editions have the lowest ratings?
Popovich laughed but didn't say a word.
The team that got off to a good start was the Mavericks playing at home.
After they rewrote the big score to 1-0, they successfully rewrote most of it to 2-0.
However, the Dallasians, who won 2-0, were more nervous.
The experience of the '06 finals reminds them.
2-0, not an advantage.
Instead, it means that the game has just begun.
Sure enough, the Celtic "Big Three" who returned to their home stadium then launched a counterattack.
Smoothly rewrote the big score to a 2-2 draw at his home stadium.
"The Battle of Tenking Mountain" moved to Dallas. - It was from this season that the format of the NBA Finals was changed from "2-3-2" to "2-2-1-1-1", which was the same as the first three rounds of the playoffs.
Judging by the results, this format change saved the Mavericks.
….
Amid the cheers of the home fans, the Mavericks, who had started off to a bad start, slowly found their rhythm and ended the game with an open three-pointer from Jason Terry.
101 to 95.
With a 6-point difference, the Mavericks narrowly escaped death and won the "Battle of Tianwang Mountain".
With two match points in hand, they should have had a psychological advantage.
But who would have thought that the Celtics, who were behind by a large score, returned to their home court and still played a strong side at the beginning, especially the suppressive force on the defensive end, which was even more amazing, and they ended the first round 28-20.
In terms of the experience of these three "old guys", even if they are "2-3 behind, lose and go home", they will not be burdened at all.
Even if there is a burden, they all turn it into a steady stream of motivation.
They used this kind of momentum to play such defensive suppression.
The game is next
The clock continued until 7:15 of the third quarter, when the Mavericks were still trailing by 9 points.
Nowitzki's performance is getting sluggish and sluggish.
Jason Terry saw that this guy had softened again at the critical moment, and quickly shouted, "Damn, Dirk, have you forgotten '06?"
It is worthy of being an old partner for many years.
Although it was just such a sentence, he obviously knew that Nowitzki's *** was there.
"Nuo Tianwang" immediately broke out in the "small universe", using one by one "Golden Rooster Independence" and one by one with his tongue sticking out his layups, slowly recovering the 9-point difference.
In the end, 88-83, a five-point difference, the Mavericks lifted the Dallasmen's coveted O'Brien Cup on the Celtics' home court.
When the whistle blows.
When the rebound turns red.
When the score freezes.
Nowitzki rushed towards the Mavericks guy right away.
A group of people hugged each other and celebrated like crazy.
Jumping and jumping, the "German tank" had red eyes.
Along the way, the 20-year-old Nowitzki is now 32 years old.
From a young guy to a middle-aged uncle.
For Dallas' first title, Nowitzki spent his entire youth.
OK......
The end result......
It also lives up to its youth!
A "p" sound came from Dallas!
At the North Shore Gardens, there was a dead silence.
The Mavericks shouted wildly, celebrating their hard-earned crown.
The Celtics' "Big Three" bowed their heads in unison.
This scene is very similar to that time three years ago.
But at that time, Paul Pierce could still calmly and confidently look at Kevin Garnett and Ray Allen and say, "Dude, we'll do it again next year."
This......
But he couldn't say that.
He's 33, Kevin Garnett is 34, and Ray Allen is 35.
He may still have a bit of a peak tail, but these two old brothers ......
Especially after the big injury, Kevin Garnett, even as a teammate, can feel that this guy's lateral movement speed has obviously slowed down a lot, which means that this injury has affected his physical condition.
suffered a major injury of this magnitude at this age, and I am afraid that the next year will not be as good as a year.
He looked up at the North Shore Garden.
The jerseys of the celebrities fluttered slightly.
Paul Pearce is looking forward to being a part of it......
….
As the overall champion!
Knowing that Kevin Garnett and Ray Allen were coming in the summer of '07, he was sure that he could win a championship.
Right now......
He didn't know where to go.
The Big Three bowed their heads and left, but even the cameras recorded their backs were very few.
At the moment, all the spotlight was shining on Nowitzki's hand in the middle of the court.
When he lifted the "Bill Russell" cup high, David Stern next to him couldn't help but smile brightly and nodded slightly.
One person, one city is the best interpretation......
The president of the alliance thinks you are good!
The next day, stories about Nowitzki's victory and his uphesitation began to circulate through the streets.
The lingering "soft egg" hat on his head is no longer mentioned at this moment.
Nowitzki's battle "gods"!
Since then, there has been no "soft egg Nowitzki" in Dallas......
Please call him Nowitzki, the "King of Heaven"!
When Li Wan saw Novitsky's photo on the front page of the newspaper, a voice suddenly echoed in his mind: I call you, do you dare to agree?
Now he's really done that
A little.
At least in the 09~10 season, he can very confidently shout to the league: Don't get me wrong, I'm not targeting someone, I'm saying you're all stinky brothers.
Not convinced?
Don't accept it, see what my brother is holding in his hand?
O'Brien Cup!
Either Caesar or nothing......
That's sports!
Saying 10,000 words "I did my best" is better than a championship trophy in front of you.
Li Wan didn't have a finals, and he went out with Taylor Swift for half a month during this time, and just returned to Orlando at this time.
During this time, he basically knew about Otis's progress from Taryn's side.
The latter initially called him almost once a day to report what Otis had told him.
Later, the number of calls gradually decreased.
It's not that Taryn is lazy, it's that Otis is calling him less often.
What this reaction represents is self-evident.
Otis should have gradually made a choice!
As for which one to choose......
His attitude says it all.
Even if it is not necessarily necessary to trade Li Wan, Li Wan is definitely in the candidate lineup.
Li Wan didn't think much about it, if it was really traded, it would be something that could not be helped.
He's just a rookie, and he can't control his own fate.
However, there is still one year left on his rookie contract, and no matter where the next stop is, when the second contract is completed, he will no longer have to be so restricted, and he will not have any initiative at all.
So Otis didn't say, and he didn't ask.
Keep your eyes on the upcoming 2010 Draft!
This year's "champion pick" is still the same as the original, belonging to the Wizards.
This is another "champion sign" since 01.
Given that the last time they drafted the "No. 1 pick" in the draft was Kwame Brown, the Wizards' management was not very excited even with the "No. 1 pick" in hand.
This is the first step in the long march.
They have to use this draft pick to get a real "champion", which can make them really feel at ease.
….
The good news is......
They didn't have Michael Jordan in this draft.
In addition, this year's "champion" candidate is actually quite clear.
John Wall of the University of Kentucky is the best pick in this year's draft.
It's called "Enhanced Rose".
Just this nickname is enough to see how talented this person is!
So the Wizards didn't hesitate to choose him.
With Arenas in the team......
But there is no way, all the injuries of this goods have been reimbursed for two seasons, not to mention that he is "Agent 0", even if he is "Superman", who knows how much ability he can have left at the beginning of the new season?
Besides, John Wall's talent is here, and there is a problem with his brain if he is not selected!
Therefore......
Bring it to you, John Wall!
The second pick, the 76ers took junior Evan Turner.
Generally, the "older rookie" with a high rank is talking about an instant combat power.
Turner is a prime example of this.
In the three years of college, he won all the heavyweight awards and achieved the "grand slam" of AA awards. Although he is not the only one who has done this, there are really not many who can do it.
Anyway, Li Ning was very optimistic about him, and he sent an endorsement contract shortly after the draft ended.
It's a pity that the 10-year draft conference has not escaped the curse of the "champion list".
Evan Turner became the one who fell out of the water.
Of course, if you really want to say it, it's not particularly watery, and it's available in the fourth year of your career
With 17.4 points, 6 rebounds and 3 assists, he also averaged 45.2% shooting per game.
It's just that Sam Singey, the general manager of the Philadelphia 76ers, is crazy about messing around, and the "Gu raising" training method has made the 76ers a rookie grave in the past few years.
During this time, there was no one who entered the 76ers who could get through!
Evan Turner was no exception, and after leaving the 76ers, he became a very good wing defender.
The third-pick Nets and the fourth-pick Timberwolves selected Derrick Pfeivers and Wesley Johnson.
If you only look at the top four picks, the quality of 2010 is really not as good as the previous three.
The top four picks in the '09 draft are Griffin and James Harden, and that's not counting Evans;
The class of '08 had Derrick Rose and Westbrook;
Not to mention 07, counting the original injury ruined, but this emergency avoidance did a good job of Oden, and none of the top four fell into the water!
But the 2010 draft still lived up to the title of "Draft Year".
Because from the fifth pick in the first round, a number of familiar names have emerged:
Fifth pick in the first round: Cousins, the league's top match below the neck;
Ninth Pick: Gordon Hayward;
10th Priority: "The Essence of Human Background" Paul George;
……
The rest, like Monroe and Bradley, are also draftees in this draft.
The quality of the second round is also very good:
The "Stadium Artist" Stephenson and "Big White Edge" that annoyed "King B" Larry Bird ...... It is the "second round show" of this draft conference.
What's more, there are also treasures in this year's "Pearl in the Sea".
….
In the future, "Lin Crazy" will also participate in this year's draft.
In short, there are a lot of talents.
It's a pity that now Li Wan doesn't know which of these people will be his teammates in the new season.
However, the end of the draft means that the free trade market is just around the corner. He knew right away what Otis's final choice was.
Otis was completely busy.
Since confirming Leewan's intentions, Otis has officially started accepting offers from other teams.
Originally, he was going to trade Dwight Howard.
After all, Li Wan was the FP of last season's finals, and in terms of credit, he was the biggest in the Magic team.
And when the ball is in Howard's hands, the team loses, the ball goes to Li Wan's hands, the team wins, and fools know who has more influence on this team.
But I don't know how this matter was known by the boss Rich DeVos, and he called directly and said angrily: "Dwight was cultivated by us, and you traded him because of the foreign Li Wan, will there be rookies willing to give us their lives in the future?"
Go out and inquire, who has cultivated a new star by themselves, and finally was squeezed out by outsiders!
Do you want this "corporate culture"?
Otis actually knows that Rich DeVos simply doesn't like Li Wan, a "back-talking employee".
But he was right......
Howard was raised by them and grew up in Orlando.
Because of Li Wan, sending his own children out, this did affect the image of the team a little.
So he simply put Li Wan on the shelf.
It was also from this time that he cut off contact with Li Wan.
After listening to a lot of offers.
Otis suddenly discovers...... He is becoming more and more resolute about trading Li Wan.
Cause......
It's really hard to put Howard out and get an interior player of the same quality.
There is only one up-and-comer, Oden, who asked the Trailblazers
The general manager's opinion, as soon as the other party heard that he exchanged "Howard" for "enhanced Howard", he directly picked up the phone.
If you call it again, it won't work.
"Small" is not good......
"Old" ......
"Shark" was completely abolished in this year's playoffs, and Li Wan led the Magic team to perform in front of the world, how to "catch sharks";
"Little Shark" ......
You don't have to talk about it.
Then there is only one Yao Ming left.
Call Team Rocket's White Pig.
As a result, the other party also hung up the phone directly.
What Otis doesn't know is that the Rockets are now in a sensitive time.
Yao Ming has not announced the fifth year of the contract.
The white pig knew very well that this was Yao Ming putting pressure on him, wanting to see what he was doing this summer before deciding what to do.
Well......
Last summer, the Rockets really didn't put it in a good way.
Light releases.
Not to mention the heavy introduction, there is not even a little reinforcement.
No matter how honest Yao Ming is, it is normal to lose his temper.
He believed that when the anger was gone, Yao Ming would execute the contract.
are all "old husbands and wives", and the white pig feels that he has this tacit understanding with Yao Ming.
….
But at this time, if there is a rumor of trading Yao Ming, it is purely to block Yao Ming and add instability to this tacit understanding.
So, as soon as he heard Otis say this, he twitched as if he had been electrocuted, and immediately hung up the phone.
Yao Ming's option is gone......
After just turning around, Otis suddenly realized that ESPN was not wrong, this is an era of "center withering".
If there is a Howard on other teams, I am afraid that it will be too late to hide, how can I push it outside?
He remembered ESPN's assessment of this:
Stupid!
He......
Not stupid!
Look at almost every team out there with good outside rookies......
Scarcity is expensive!
Can Otis not understand this truth?
He immediately strengthened his mind to trade Li Wan.
After making up his mind, he completely cut ties with Tyron.
Once you've decided who to trade, the rest becomes simpler.
Just find the best offer......
The news broke that the Magic wanted to trade Leewan.
The general managers of all walks of life moved when they heard the wind.
Kupchak was the first to make an offer.
But his offer is a complete amusement to the fool.
Ariza, Odom, Nelson Jr. and Bynum......
Is this to take the sword of the previous dynasty and behead the officials of this dynasty?
If this guy gives Otis a little respect, he will definitely reply with a "roll".
Now, Otis's choice is to hang up the phone directly.
Then there's Cavaliers general manager Griffin.
His quote is atmospheric: except for LeBron, whatever!
Otis's reply was also very cheerful: LeBron must be discussed, and nothing else will be discussed.
Without speculating for more than half a sentence, the two of them quickly hung up the phone together.
Meantime......
Otis: "Heh, let you make LeBlan? Then I'm not scolded to death by my boss?"
Griffin: "Huh~ let you make LeBron and Howard? Then I'm not scolded to death by my boss?"
Then there is the general manager of the Menglong team and the general manager of the Clippers team.
With more and more calls coming in, the offer is finally not so outrageous.
Patiently record it.
It felt like it was almost over, and another call came in.
Pick it up and listen, it's Donnie Walsh.
"Good brother, I gave Crawford for nothing
Virtue to you, this love, our brothers should also nag, right? You said, when you asked for Crawford, did I give it to you without saying a word?"
……
July 1.
The much-anticipated NBA free trade market has begun.
The show is on.
The first play gave all the viewers a glimpse of the extraordinary summer of 2010!
Chris Bosh, the "Dragon King of the North", who jumped out of the contract, finally couldn't stand the cold and went to the warm Miami.
ESPN immediately connected Wade with Chris Bosh.
Both men had big smiles on their faces.
Bosh was excited to have Wade.
Wade was happy that the old man was finally willing to "divorce".
Originally, he was trying to get LeBron James to join Miami, but the latter never called him back. It seems that I don't remember the agreement back then.
That's fine, it's enough to have me and Chris anyway!
"The Flash's" eyes are full of desire to fight.
….
He wanted to give Pat Lyley a nine.
is worthy of his favorite old man.
Sure enough, he didn't break his promise.
Miami will be back in the center of the league!
Unbeknownst to Wade, Pat Lylie picked up the microphone in the corner of his desk and dialed a certain call.
It can be seen from his proficiency in rummaging through the number of callbacks that he has been making this call a lot lately.
It's just that it hasn't been opened before......
This......
He believed it could!
"Hey ......"
Really!
The phone rang three times, and there was a voice on the other end.
"LeBron, I think, now, I have enough sincerity to impress you!"
Well......
Yes!
The first call Pat Lyley dialed was the phone number of LeBron's team.
The "03 Generation Three" is his ambition this summer.
So from the beginning he didn't run to Li Wan and focused on seducing Chris Bosh.
This young man from the north is really weak-willed and has never seen the world, and when he heard that Miami is full of scorching sunshine all year round, he couldn't wait to nod his head in agreement.
With Chris Bosh and the original Wade, he doesn't believe that such a lineup can't hook the "little emperor".
But what he didn't expect was ......
LeBron James still wants to think about it.
And hung up the phone directly.
For the first time, the "God Operator" miscalculated people's hearts.
What he didn't know was ......
LeBron James is waiting for another person's reply at the moment.
That person was Griffin, the general manager of the Cavaliers. The latter promised him that he would bring him Lewan or Howard.
If he can get one of them, then he naturally doesn't have to leave the Cavaliers.
Moreover, this is not the same as him going to the Magic team, this is Li Wan or Howard coming to the Cavaliers, and there is no such thing as "defecting to the enemy".
It is only after the Cavaliers can't get a player of the caliber of Lee Wan or Howard that he will take the most difficult path.
With your good brothers, go and play brother basketball.
It's just that just as he was waiting for Griffin's call with anticipation and anxiety, the league had a second big deal at this time.
This time it's a little bigger.
Three-way trade from the New York Knicks, Nets and Magic:
"The Magic sent Leewan, Artest, Lewis and Jason Williams to add to the likes of Vince Carter from the Nets and an 11-year, 2-round pick from the Nets and Gallinari from the Knicks."
"The Nets sent Vince Carter to the New York Knicks' Wilson Chandler and Jordan Shee
and David Lee."
"The New York Knicks have been added to the Magic team such as Leewan, Artest and Lewis."
……
When the news broke.
Li Wan received four phone calls.
One is Otis's farewell call, which is some decent words, wishing you a bright future or something;
Then there was Tarron's phone call, and he mainly came to inform Li Wan of the news of the transaction, and then asked Li Wan "When will you leave for New York?"
After receiving the reply, he immediately went to get busy.
Then there was Taylor's call: "Lee, are you going to New York?" Great, then we'll be able to live together again!" Taylor's head office is in New York, except that she prefers to stay in Los Angeles.
….
After all, compared to New York, Los Angeles has a little more humanistic atmosphere.
But now, since Li Wan has gone to New York, she has nothing to say, so she naturally has to go back to New York.
Well......
I definitely didn't go to New York because there were so many people in New York, I had to look at the dots, I ......
It's just that it's close to the head office.
Head Office: It's been three or four years since I signed it, and now I think it's close to the company?
Scold~
Woman!
Last call......
When Li Wan heard the mobile phone ringing, he thought it was Howard, but he didn't expect it to be the president of the Knicks: Donnie Walsh!
"Hey, man, welcome to the New York Knicks, I promise you, the new Knicks will build the team with you as the absolute core, and if you have any partners you want to partner with, you can tell me and we will try to fight for ......
We in New York, there is nothing else, just a lot of money!
That's what Lee Wan heard from Donnie Walsh's words.
He thought it would be a good idea to go to New York.
Although the owner is a fool, Donnie Walsh has actually done a good job after taking office, and the New York Knicks are back on track in the first year of signing Smalls, but then the arrival of Carmelo Anthony, coupled with injuries, caused everything to go in an uncontrollable direction.
He also secretly quit class.
But that's all later.
The current New York Knicks can be said to be "in ruins" and are lacking an owner.
In fact, Li Wan himself also considered which city he should go to if he was allowed to choose.
After thinking about it, he felt that the most important point was that there were no symbolic players in this team. - He's really annoyed that this kind of thing is happening again.
So like what Los Angeles, Cavaliers, Heat and ......
None of them were in his expectations.
Because there, there were already people before.
The Knicks were originally the place he was looking forward to going.
Not to mention the big city, it has been rotten for so many years, just waiting for someone to save them.
The only problem is that the boss has more to do with the management.
Now Donnie Walsh called him at the first time and gave him an absolute status, which made Li Wan feel a lot more at ease.
At least during Donnie Walsh's reign, his absolute core position in this team, as well as the capital to do whatever he wants, will not be shaken.
That's it......
It's time to start the "era of Li Wan"!
Li Wan is also very confident in this.
Maddie was reimbursed for injury this season, so the Knicks did not become a "big wrongdoer".
In other words, the Knicks have a healthy salary space this summer.
Even if you eat Lewis's big contract, there is no pressure at all.
You can even get another big contract.
In the case that Artest also came with the trade......
Although Li Wan has not yet flipped through the lineup of the Knicks, he is very clear about one thing......
The Knicks will have in the new season: Leewan
Add Artest plus Lewis plus a certain player with an annual salary of 10 million plus a certain player's lineup!
What else is there to say about this!
The Knicks championship can be shouted!
Well......
was traded by the Magic team, and now Li Wan has obtained a new "face slapping mission".
….
Winning the championship has become urgent again.
He hung up the phone with Walsh, who was loyal, and the latter immediately sent Li Wan the list of reinforcements.
The whole attitude, that's called a ......
Flattering.
Look at the list of these people......
Li Wan's gaze fell on a certain figure, and he never looked away.
This......
Will it work?
But he decided to give it a try anyway.
Putting the list down, Li Wan saw Howard's text message, yes, there was no call, just a text message of blessings.
Li Wan is not surprised.
Since the "Warcraft" stayed, he should know why Li Wan left.
At this time, it is already something that Li Wan did not expect to receive a blessing text message.
Because, from now on, the two of them have to prove that "the Magic team is right to keep me", and the other has to prove that "the magic team gave me up was wrong!"
The deal caused a lot of commotion in the outside world......
In less than two hours, a large group of Orlandians gathered outside the Amway Arena to protest against the Otis deal.
Orlando "OK" Combo Dream Shattered......
For them, there is nothing more heart-wrenching.
In their opinion, the duo was supposed to bring ...... to Orlando Not 1, not 2, not 3, 4, 5, but 6 O'Brien Cup!
Now, just take one, and it comes to an abrupt end?
They don't want to believe it all.
It's just that their protests don't affect Otis's continued trading.
What he wants to create in the new season is naturally the new "OK" combination of Orlando.
He believes Vince Carter and Gallinari have enough outside firepower to fill the outside shooter pack.
This, coupled with the departures of Lewis and Artest, eased their salary space, which allowed him to effortlessly sign Felton who performed well with the Bobcats last year for 2 years and 15.8 million.
As the fifth pick in the first round in '05, Deron Williams was the first point guard in the '05 draft after Chris Paul. Felton averaged 12.1 points and 5.6 assists per game last season.
He's good at breaking with the ball.
His arrival can complement the Magic's missing No. 1 breakthrough ability due to Li Wan's departure.
After signing this contract, the Magic team @
In their opinion, this should have been the best opportunity for Li Wan, a "wanderer", to go home.
Kupchak didn't even grasp such a good opportunity!
What are you doing in the position of general manager?
Fuck off!
Kupchak took full view of these protests.
Except for a wry smile, there was no other action.
What could he do?
He later handed over another quotation.
Except for Pau Gasol and Kobe, he chooses anyone else.
Even later, he even added Pau Gasol. But people just don't want it, what can he do?
What he didn't know was that Otis was almost heartbroken.
Think of Orlando's feud with Los Angeles......
If he sends Li Wan to the Lakers, with the current Kobe Bryant and Li Wan, even if there is no Pau Gasol or the like, I am afraid that they can beat the opponent in one round, right?
If Li Wan really won the championship in his first year back with the Lakers, he would definitely be scolded to death by Orlando fans.
For Orlando, the most unacceptable thing is that the Lakers will complete the championship after trading with the Magic!
Compared with?
Nexus wasn't so dangerous.
Except for Li Wan, there are no representative players who can handle it at all.
In one or two seasons, it should be difficult to rise!
It's just enough to return the favor.
Crawford was given away for nothing back then. - Otis didn't think Bogans' two additions could be traded for Crawford, who was averaging 20 points per game at the time. When they gave it at the time, they said, "For the friendship between the two of us......
The rivers and lakes are like this, and people have to have dealings.
The opportunity is right at the moment, and the Knicks' price is not low, and it can even be said that it is the best of the best, which just meets the requirements of the Nets to be young and ready to fight. - Don't ask why the Nets didn't directly ask for Li Wan, but chose to ask for the rookies of the New York Knicks, when you hear the name Billy King, you should know that it is too normal for the Nets to do this!
Mention one of this buddy's brilliant achievements: the "Nets Big Four" team, giving Anji the right to exchange for the 2014 first-round pick, the 2016 first-round pick, the 2018 first-round pick and the 2017 first-round pick. Helped the Celtics draft Jaylen Brown and Tatum.
What more can you say?
Good!
Great people!
It's not an exaggeration to say that the Celtics have the second-best general manager in history......
The kind of ...... that has to give him a retired jersey
It's the same this time, Otis and Walsh each call him: "I heard you're peddling Vince Carter? Would you like to send you a few potential stocks? There's David Lee, who averages 20 plus per game?"
At that time, Billy King made a direct decision: Do you need to hesitate? Brothers, get rich together and get started!
While the Orlando fans and Los Angeles fans were protesting angrily, Li Wan dialed the familiar phone, and when the phone was connected, he heard the movement on the other end and smiled:
"Brother Yao, are you still fighting Warcraft? Tyson Chandler has won the championship, why don't you become the number one in the league!"
Ruthless love for the common people
