154 Maddie ...... Stay in Orlando
At the same time, the trades and contract extensions of each team are still proceeding in an orderly manner.
O'Neal travels east, Kobe Bryant renews his contract, Martin gets a big contract, and Boozer defects...... There are not many big fish in the trading market.
The most eye-catching are the two All-Star starting guards of Francis and Maddy.
Francis forced the palace, hoping that the team management could strengthen the team, but Mosaic did not have any effective reinforcements, or sewn up the same set for another three years, picking up a few veterans to make up the lineup.
Francis's response was to refuse to attend the team's training camp and to attend all of the team's activities.
At this point, Francis and the Mosaic team completely tore their faces.
In addition, "Old Cat" Mobley is also on Francis's side, and the Mosaic team is a little anxious.
Maddie on the other side is not arguing or arguing.
No matter what the Magic management did, Maddie didn't make her voice heard.
Subsequently, a well-known reporter broke the story of the conflict between Maddie and the management of the Magic team.
The reason was that the Magic team traded Maddy's friend and second leader of the Magic team, Mike Miller, without notifying Maddy.
That night, Maddie scored 52 points in the third quarter as a way to express his dissatisfaction with management.
Subsequently, the Magic's record got worse and worse.
Last season, the Magic started with a 19-game losing streak and ended up losing, ranking last in the league.
The conflict between Maddie and the management of the Magic team has reached the point of irreconcilability.
After the news broke, Maddie and the Magic management were criticized by the outside world.
Of course, more people are dissatisfied with Magic management.
"They don't deserve any star!"
"From the time O'Neal left, I knew how stupid the Magic were!"
"T-MAC, get out of this damn Orlando, we've got you covered wherever you go!"
……
There was a commotion on both sides, and the trading market ushered in a second wave of climax.
In the past few days, Yao Ming has often talked with Li Lei on the phone and talked about this matter.
Li Lei joked: "In that case, why don't the two sides swap?" ”
Just the next day, news broke.
The Magic management is in contact with the management of the Mosaic team and has reached a preliminary trade intention.
The Magic are traded by Maddy + Juwan Howard.
Mosaic was traded by Francis + Mobley.
Seeing this news, Li Lei himself was stunned.
"My mouth is open?"
The two All-Star starting guards swapped owners, which was a big deal, and the entire league was shocked.
However, many people have the same conjecture as Li Lei, and they have long had predictions.
Subsequently, the management of the two teams engaged in more in-depth discussions, constantly haggling over trade chips.
Seeing that the deal between Maddie and Francis is about to be reached.
At this moment, another thing happened in the alliance, which had something to do with Li Lei.
The Magic management has not yet finished talking about the Maddie deal, and has taken a fancy to Heat head coach Stan Van Gundy (Big Fan).
Coach Dafan was the best coach last season, leading the Heat to a negative record and even to the Eastern Conference Finals.
They directly offered a high salary of $16 million for 4 years, and they wanted to dig up Dafan.
This salary is absolutely high for a manager.
Coach Dafan didn't agree at first.
As a result, Pat Riley directly drove away Dafan: "Go get your big contract!" ”
So, Dafan agreed.
Soon, Dafan officially signed with the Magic team.
Li Lei also made a special phone call to congratulate him.
On the other end of the phone, Coach Dafan's smile couldn't be stopped at all, and he kept laughing.
Li Lei vaguely guessed that Dafan was willing to coach the Magic team from the beginning.
It's just that because of the master-apprentice relationship with Riley, it's hard to say it directly.
Riley probably saw it a long time ago, and simply encouraged Dafan to go to the Magic team.
Master and apprentice, good to get together and disperse, there is no need to make everyone unhappy.
It's not just about money.
The Heat will always be Riley's Heat, and Riley is the dictator of the Heat.
Last season, Da Fan, as the head coach of the Heat, actually had very little right to speak, and everything was still dominated by Riley.
In the playoffs, Dafan did not command well, and Riley directly grabbed the whip and went on his own.
Looking at the Heat team again, before signing the contract, he had already assured Coach Dafan that he would give him a certain right to speak.
He is consulted in team trades, layoffs, and drafts.
Compared with the two, it is no longer a problem how Dafan will choose.
The two chatted happily.
Li Lei asked Maddie and Francis about swapping owners by the way.
As a result, Dafan told Li Lei: "Tracy will not leave Orlando!" ”
Li Lei: "......"
Van Gundy on the other end of the phone seemed to be able to think of Li Lei's reaction, and he was a little proud: "Anyway, the whole league will know about this tomorrow, and it doesn't hurt for me to tell you first." ”
"I convinced Tracy that he wanted to stay in Orlando and play under me!"
"The management was also convinced by me that they were willing to reconcile with Maddie as long as they had results next season."
Li Lei hurriedly motioned for Da Fan to continue, he really wanted to know how Da Fan persuaded Maddie and the management of the Magic team.
Both sides have made such a fuss, and they can still reconcile?
Subsequently, Da Fan spoke eloquently.
Convincing the Magic management is actually very simple, as long as you promise them the results, they only care about this.
When the Magic team sent Mike Miller away, it was not because of a hot brain, but because the Magic team's internal line was too old to be reused.
Management wants to trade Mike Miller for a great big man.
At the end of the day, Magic management is also for the record.
Half of Maddie's anger is because of her brother's grievances, and the other half is because of the disrespect of the management.
If the management can discuss it with Maddie, at least tell Maddie in advance, it won't be like this.
And what Dafan did was to give Maddie enough respect.
After Dafan signed the contract, the first thing he did was to fly to Maddie's house, visit him in person, and then tell Maddie his idea of building a team.
Recommended, it's really good, it's worth installing one for book friends, and Android and Apple phones support it!
When Maddie saw Dafan doing this, she was naturally moved, but she didn't change her mind.
So, Coach Dafan started the second step.
He took Maddie to see Grant Hill and Dwight Howard training.
Hill is the league's top three and has played 47 games in three seasons just because of injuries.
The Magic were originally going to form a dual-core team of Maddie and Hill.
It's a pity that Maddie was miserable by Hill.
But this offseason, Hill is recovering pretty well and is in great shape.
Howard was the top pick in the 2004 draft, and his talent overflowed and was visible to the naked eye.
On top of that, the Magic also drafted a nice small guard with the 20th pick in the first round, Jamil Nelson.
and poached a Turkish player from the Spurs, "Star and Moon God of War" Sido Tekoglu.
Plus 3-and-D player DeSean Stevenson.
The Magic team will be very competitive next season.
So, Maddie chose to stay.
In fact, not to mention Maddie, Li Lei was a little worried when he heard this lineup.
Next season, the Magic will definitely be a powerhouse in the East.
The Heat had to concede three points.
Healthy Hill + Maddie alone is the league's top combination.
Not to mention Howard, Nelson, Turkoglou, Stevenson......
If Riley knew about this, he would definitely regret that he had taken Coach Dafan away, which was a big trouble for himself!
