Chapter 81: Howard's trade proposal and the Lakers' new players

"Ding, do you use the deal finder to search for all of Dwight Howard's deals?"

Be.

After Du Kang confirmed the use of the Deal Finder for Howard, 7 trading options appeared on the system interface.

That said, only seven NBA teams are interested in trading Howard.

"That's too realistic, isn't it?"

Du Kang smiled.

This is the league's No. 1 center.

But...... Understandable.

Howard didn't just refuse to sign with the Lakers early, he now refuses to sign with any NBA team.

He wants his next contract to play for a team where he can be happy.

He's happy with the Lakers right now, but not quite happy yet.

In the face of Howard like this, even if there are many teams interested in him, they dare not trade, in exchange for no guaranteed contract extension, you can only pay a lot of chips to get Howard's half-season right to use.

Most normal teams in the NBA don't do that kind of thing.

So are these trading plans abnormal trading plans?

Du Kang began to take a serious look at these plans.

The first trade plan was proposed by the New York Knicks, hoping to trade Amalstaudemire for Howard, a one-on-one one-on-one exchange.

Stoudemire lost the boss battle with Anthony after the Knicks suffered multiple injuries, and now his contract is completely junk.

Dukang tried to get the New York Knicks to send J.R. Smith, and the New York Knicks agreed.

Dukang tried to get the New York Knicks to send them one of their first-round picks, and this time New York agreed.

Two first-round picks, this time the New York Knicks agreed.

Three first-round picks, this time the Knicks turned it down.

The New York Knicks' bottom line for Howard is Stoudemire + J.R. Smith + 2 first-round picks.

Howard's true value is definitely more than that, but Howard, who only has a half-year right to use, the Knicks' chips are actually not low, and obviously the Knicks think their team has enough charm to renew Howard's contract.

And now that the Knicks are in the top four in the East under Anthony, the Knicks feel that their next two first-round picks aren't worth as much.

If Howard really only plays for half a year and leaves, he won't lose too much, and the combination of Howard + Anthony, even if he only plays for a year in the playoffs, may have a good surprise.

"Interesting!"

"The trade finder can also test the bottom line of the trade team!"

Du Kang looked at the other three options.

The Nets are willing to trade Humphries + Gerald Wallace for Howard.

These two contracts with the Nets are still garbage contracts.

Dukang tried to get the Nets to send a draft pick, but in the end, the Nets were only willing to add one more first-round pick.

"This one is a bit stingy."

One first-round + two garbage contracts in exchange for Howard.

This one definitely won't work.

"But it's understandable."

The Knicks are confident in their charisma.

Nets...... It is normal not to have such self-confidence.

Isn't Jim Shu Huang forcibly bringing Howard over at that time also a blind superstition about the attraction of Los Angeles and the Lakers?

Seeing the Nets, Du Kang can guess that several other trades must also be garbage contract deals.

Howard's contract is very large, almost 20 million, like the Lakers' playoff rival Rockets, their boss Harden has a contract of more than 5 million this year, plus the second Jeremy Lin, the third Parsons, and the fourth Asik.

It's not crazy to exchange so many people for Howard's right to use it for half a year.

If the playoff team wants to issue such a contract, even if it is not like the Rockets to sell the team all, not to catch the boss, but also to take the second and third children, break the muscles and bones, destroy the team's chemistry, and dare not move.

The fish belly team may not be able to take out such chips, and the fish belly teams that can come up with chips are basically garbage contracts.

Sure enough, it was.

Even, these teams are not willing to even play a first round, and they are more stingy than the Nets, after all, the Nets can play the playoffs anyway, and the first round is not so valuable.

Moreover, the Nets are still a little confident in themselves, and they are about to go to New York, which is also a big family, and they may be able to keep Howard.

"Huh?"

Just when Du Kang thought it was some garbage contracts, the last trade offer surprised him.

The Celtics are willing to trade Pierce + Bass for Howard + Ibanks.

"Really, Pierce isn't actually for sale at the Celts?"

This made Du Kang not know what to say, and even felt that there was something wrong with the system.

After thinking about it, Dukang took Pierce off and replaced him with Garnett.

"Ding, are you sure to trade Dwight Howard for Kevin Garnett and Brandon Bass?"

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

it!

Du Kang felt that he had found a super big news!

Pierce and Garnett, they are not actually for sale by the Celtics!!

After being frightened, Du Kang hurriedly chose no.

Don't really trade Howard with one hand.

"I just traded Howard to try my highest authority, but I didn't really want to trade Howard."

Well, it's definitely not because I'm not satisfied with the trading chips of these stinky fish and shrimp that I changed my words.

He really didn't intend to trade Howard.

As soon as he got the highest authority of the team, he didn't give Jim Shu Huang face, and directly traded Howard, what did Ji Shu Huang think?

Jim Shu has always felt that he lied to Howard and did not fulfill his promise to Howard, owes Howard, and is still thinking about how to keep Howard.

Although Howard is not so loyal to him in his heart, he has always been loyal to him on the surface, and has a good relationship with the United Arab Emirates, Nash, and even Iverson, who is new to the team.

Allian, Nash, Iverson, this is his real henchman.

In the eyes of the rest of the Lakers, he has four henchmen on the team, and these three plus Howard are his four confidants.

Even Howard is more loyal than these three, with the UAE, Nash and Iverson Harpy off-court to abuse Kobe, and he is working hard for him on the court.

He's going to really trade Howard.

The Lakers locker room really collapsed.

Howard, who has a positive effect in the team's locker room and is very desperate on the court, cannot be moved.

Moreover, if the Lakers want to win the championship and face the unknown playoffs, of course, the more thighs the better.

Especially a special thigh like Howard, there is no replacement in the entire league now, without Howard, the Lakers can't rush out of the West, and the Thunder can directly kill his Lakers' veterans.

But......

With Howard's personality, he could explode on the spot at any time and affect the Lakers' championship path this season.

"It seems that we have to continue to suffer for a long time."

Don't worry, the Lakers have really won the championship this season, and the great D coach will definitely not forget your credit, and the good days in the future will be sweet.

Isn't it a measly 81 points?

How can this be worthy of you, Coach D is bankrupt, and the high and low will give you a whole 101!

"It seems that the UAE's defensive enhancement plan is also on the agenda."

There is also Maddie's body unblocking plan.

Du Kang looked at his 850 MP at this time, well, it's really not enough.

"Save and save, and then there is no more."

"One game is simulated, at most one simulated!"

"In the future simulation competition, I will definitely not go to the top, whoever is on the top will be a dog!"

……

……

On February 20, 2013, the Lakers had a day off.

Dukang and all the Lakers players were going to Mr. Jerichbus' memorial service.

At the memorial service in Jerebas, Kobe Bryant cried like a tearful man, more sad than a few little Bass cried.

At the very least, although Aunt Jenny is also crying like crazy and wiping her tears, she is not sad at first glance.

Touched, Coach D was touched by the old class.

Faced with such an old department, Du Kang immediately gave the old department another day off.

This made Howard next to him regret that he couldn't do it, he was afraid that he wouldn't be able to abuse Kobe Bryant tomorrow and wouldn't be able to sleep at night.

On February 20, the entire NBA was plunged into the grief of Jerichbuss' death.

On February 21st, the world seemed to have suddenly returned to its former calm.

On this day, Du Kang once again appeared on the pages of the entire American press.

Not to mention the headlines on the front page, at least, the big media that can basically name Du Kang are all reporting on Du Kang.

The reason, of course, is that Jerry Buss's will was exposed, and the 10-year contract extension between Du Kang and the Lakers was also exposed.

Let's just say that the chips that old Bass threw away in order to keep Du Kang really stunned the four major professional leagues in the United States.

"The craziest head coach contract in the history of American sports was given to a Chinese!"

Look at this report from the Washington Post, this headline.

In the United States, the Washington Post generally does not participate in professional sports news coverage.

But this time, I couldn't help it.

"It took only five years for Coach D to go from a college student in the United States to become the most lucrative head coach in the history of professional sports in the United States, and when he signed that contract, did he ever wonder if he could handle the weight of this contract?

Before that, he was already the center of the storm of public opinion in the United States, he was already a focus of envy and hatred, and now, he will completely lose the opportunity as an ordinary head coach.

Now, he has a contract that is even more lucrative than Popovich and even more than Pat Riley, and from now on, everyone will demand him according to the standards of the godfather, and Coach D has lost all his retreats! ”

It's hard to tell whether this Washington Post report is black or honey, and it should be neutral.

While amazed and shocked, he pointed out the pressure that Du Kang brought after accepting this gift.

This is not something out of nothing or alarmist.

At the memorial service in Jeremis, the Lakers' celebrities looked at him obviously a little wrong.

At that time, the magician received a gift from Jerebas, but it was only a 4.5% share, and it was not free, but the magician himself spent some money to buy it.

In order to appease the resentment of other Lakers celebrities, Jerebus said at the time that the Magic bought it for a slightly less than the market price of $10 million.

But this claim has never been confirmed.

Because most people didn't believe that the magicians at that time could come up with $10 million at once.

But fortunately, Jerebus gave an explanation, I didn't give it for free, the magician really took the money to buy it.

Although this explanation is not very believable at first glance, it is also explained that as the first person in the history of the Lakers, there is nothing wrong with buying team shares at market prices, and everyone accepts it.

But what's going on with Du Kang?

Does he have a championship with the Los Angeles Lakers?

He didn't even play in the playoffs!

led the team to play 13 regular season games, and was given 6% of Lakers shares for free, as well as a contract extension with the league's first salary for 10 years?

Why?

Although the money is old Bass's money, it doesn't matter how he spends it.

However, the mouth is also on his own mouth, and if he doesn't accept it, he doesn't accept it.

Let's just say that except for the magicians who were also gifted by Jerebuss, most of the Lakers' celebrities are unhappy.

Among them, Phil Jackson, the meritorious head coach of the Lakers and led the Lakers to five championships, was very unhappy.

"Coach D is of course a very good head coach, he is a very good fit with the Lakers, he will definitely be very good in the future, but I think he is not qualified to accept such a gift now, he should refuse, he should focus on the game, focus on leading the Los Angeles Lakers to success, as one of the most successful teams in the NBA, the Los Angeles Lakers cannot fail forever, when he accepts this gift, he needs to achieve success quickly, which will be a huge pressure on him."

"Fei'er, you mean, Coach D doesn't deserve this right now?"

'Of course, he hasn't achieved anything yet, not even the Manager of the Month award.'

Well, Phil Jackson is telling the truth the whole time, and that's actually true.

Du Kang has indeed not even won the Head Coach of the Month award now.

So, Phil Jackson went crazy with jealousy.

When Old Bass divided the inheritance last night, Phil Jackson, who was Old Bass's son-in-law, was not even qualified to enter the ward.

The 10% stake that Bass Sr. gave to Aunt Jenny was given in trust.

In other words, Phil Jackson, who is the husband of Aunt Jenny, doesn't even get a dime of old Bass's inheritance.

I've worked hard for the Lakers to win five championships!

I'm still your son-in-law!

Didn't you just get rid of Jerry West with Jenny?

If you don't give me a dime, forget it.

Also give an outsider rookie head coach a 6% stake.

If you're Phil Jackson, you're also separated from the wall.

In the face of Phil Jackson's bombardment, Du Kang didn't see it.

Regardless of how the outside public opinion ferments.

Du Kang ignored it.

Even, Du Kang is no longer in Los Angeles at this time.

……

……

"Du, although I have a good relationship with Dwight, I don't have that much influence on Dwight, and I can't guarantee that he will remain strong at some of the team's most critical moments."

Even Clifford, who has been with Howard for so many years, said so.

Du Kang feels that if he wants to bring the Lakers to a championship this season, he needs some insurance.

After accepting Jerry Bas's gift, the pressure to win the title this season has intensified.

If he fails to win this season, he will lose even more.

If the championship fails this season, the veterans of the team who come to win the championship will not stay much.

At that time, the Lakers may have to rebuild.

When the time comes, it won't be a matter of a year or two, it's a bigger unknown.

Faced with such a situation that must not fail, it is impossible for Du Kang to put all his bets on Howard, the X-factor.

In the case of uncertainty about how much it will cost to elevate the UAE's defense to the top.

Finding a potential replacement for Howard is a very realistic and necessary thing to do.

Movement speed is fast, height is enough, and he has a very good defensive ability, such an inside line, it is someone else's baby.

Such a baby is lacking in the entire NBA.

"Du, it's not that there are no players like this, it's just ......"

"Just?"

Du Kang looked at Clifford suspiciously.

"Du, look."

Du Kang looked at the account number of a YouTuber.

This account is a training video posted by an ESPN reporter.

The big guy in the training video is sprinting, this big man is very tall, but he rushes quickly and jumps high.

"Oden!"

When the big man's vicissitudes of life appeared in front of him, Du Kang's eyes lit up.

This big center, he has been famous for a long time.

A combination of Duncan + O'Neal.

A combination of Garnett + Yao Ming.

A combination of Russell + Chamberlain.

In short, this is a guy who has made a talented player like Durant only be the second in the millennium.

"Didn't you say he's gone?"

Du Kang looked at Clifford curiously.

"Du, look at the comments below this video."

Du Kang clicked on the comment curiously.

"Everyone can YY again."

"Don't be fooled by this team of wasted brokers."

"He's more and more like the kind of contract cheating now, choosing a team is more soap opera than James, the most important thing is that he hasn't done confrontation training, and he still wants a high salary and a long contract in secret, and it's a miracle that he can go up and play a few points if he is signed."

"Alas, when he was in college, he was also like a god, six years later, Durant is going to be MVP, and he can only be reduced to cheating on an NBA contract."

"Looks like James."

"Although I know it's a lie, I only have it in training, this talent looks really greedy, and the dog spur only has a basic salary, so it is estimated that it will not come."

"What is this thing doing, do you think you're in the draft?"

"It's a pity for the Emperor, it's really good if it doesn't hurt, and it's also a pity for Roy and Ade, Coach D can save Maddie and Iverson back, can you save the Emperor and Roy too?"

"Why do you think that my sting is just disgusting to the Heat, and it's good to raise the market price."

"Looks really like James's dad, go to the Heat, reunite as a family, don't come to me to stab!"

……

……

Du Kang looked at the comments below the video and was stunned.

Not to mention the comments of those black people whose quality is obviously poor, from those valuable comments, Du Kang still drew some information.

That is, the current Oden, there is still talent, but he can only show it in training, refusing the confrontation training required by the team.

If this is the case, then there is no doubt that it is a contract fraud.

At the same time, Du Kang also saw from the comments that it seems that both the Heat and the Spurs are very interested in him.

This is actually understandable.

Both the Spurs and the Heat lack that kind of fast, high-tech forward.

Oden's talent in training, and although they know he may be cheating on the contract, the Heat and Spurs are still hungry.

At the end of this training video, an ESPN reporter interviews Oden's agent, Conley Sr.

"Mike, is Greg ready to accept the Heat's offer to go to a tryout?"

"Although the exact date has not yet been decided, we would very much like to meet with the management of the Heat and see what they think, but Greg is interested in joining the Heat, if the Heat can give Greg enough respect."

"We haven't received any response from the Heat yet. But I've had some conversations with Mr. Pat Riley over the last three weeks, and they've been very interested in Greg. ”

"Greg, who is currently actively recovering, is ready to sign with the Heat before the end of the season and adapt to the team's atmosphere ahead of schedule."

Judging from Conley Sr.'s interview, Dukang read the information that Pat Riley was interested in Auden, but had doubts after the inspection, but did not completely refuse.

Conley Sr. was leading the Oden team to cheat on the contract, while Pat Riley was not pointing it out and was hanging all the time.

In this pull, it is the old Conley who is anxious.

At the end of the video, there is an interview with Oden.

Compared with the old Conley who played tai chi, Auden was much more sincere.

'I'm worried about my knee, he's been injured three times and I'm recovering now, but ...... If the time is right and I don't have a knee problem, I hope to come back this season, any team can. ”

"Thanks, I'll be patient because I've been injured again after coming back before, so I'm going to slow myself down."

Auden was worried about his knee, and even if he recovered, Auden himself felt that he might hurt again at any time.

If it weren't for the needs of this shooting, he would definitely not even dare to run and jump without confrontation, his heart would have been dusted.

After reading it, Du Kang fell into silence.

Clifford, who was next to him, broke the silence.

'He's looking great now and he's moving well."

Yes.

Du Kang nodded.

This is why even the audience and fans can see it, but Pat Riley still hasn't given up and hangs him.

Pat Riley was reluctant to give up such a talent.

If it weren't for Auden's fall to this point, Pat Riley wouldn't even have a chance to covet it.

"Steve, I'd like to go over and have a look."

"Personally?"

Just invite you to come over for a tryout.

"Is it necessary?"

Clifford looked at Du Kang suspiciously.

Du Kang smiled and looked at the 25-year-old man on the video again.

"It's necessary."

Because, just now the basic salary contract he offered in the system was rejected.

……

……

February 21, 2013, Ohio State University Training Hall.

Dukang arrived here with Ohio State head coach Ted Marta.

Ted Mata is 46 years old and is actually a young coach in the coaching world, having become head coach at Ohio State nine years ago, in '04, when he was 37 years old, and when he became head coach at Butler University in 2000, he was 33 years old.

In his 13-year NCAA coaching career, he led the team to the final four twice and the finals once, and in the NCAA, Mata is also a talented head coach.

And the only time he led the team to the NCAA finals was the Ohio State with Oden and Conley.

It can be said that Auden is his most proud disciple, and for Auden, he is really heartbroken.

"If Greg can't find his way out in the NBA, I'm going to ask him to go back to school and learn while being an assistant coach with the Buckeyes, and I don't want him to end up like those guys, that's really bad."

"Greg is really a good kid and he told me that if there is really no way out one day, he will come back to me and try to give back to the community and teach basketball skills and experience to the kids. He said he also enjoys spending time with younger kids, with the younger generation, and seeing how they think about and use basketball. ”

Along the way, Mata told him a lot about Auden.

"Coach D, a lot of people have been here in recent months, but you are the only one I have personally received, and I can see that those people are here for profit, and they are not suitable for the current Greg, but you are different."

Du Kang looked at Ted Mata with some curiosity.

"Why am I different?"

"Because you are a protΓ©gΓ© of Mr. John Wooden, because you are from UCLA, then you must have an ideal and pursuit of basketball that goes beyond profit, and you will not throw away a basketball dream at will, just like you saved the four dying guards in the NBA."

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

This was so nice to say that Du Kang was stunned.

It can only be said that John Wooden is a cowhide.

When this old man's apprentice is a disciple, as long as you compete and make a name for yourself, then your status is not ordinarily high in the American basketball world.

"Coach D, look, Greg is over there."

As the hottest basketball figure in the United States now, the head coach of the Lakers, the future godfather of the Lakers hand-picked by Jerry Buss, and the name of Du Kang, basically as long as he is in the basketball circle, there is nothing he doesn't know.

Du Kang's appearance soon caused a sensation on the entire Ohio State University basketball team.

"Coach D, oh my God, it's actually Coach D, is he looking at me?!"

"DeShaun, shut up, you deserve to be in Coach D's sight too?!"

DeSean Thomas is not happy.

"I was the big guy who led Ohio State to the Final Four in last year's tournament!"

"In Coach D's eyes, that's the big shot."

Aaroncraft pointed to Oden, who was not far away doing shooting practice alone, and finally shut up.

In Ohio State, there's no one like this big guy.

The arrival of Du Kang, of course, Auden also saw it.

So his hands were shaking when he shot the basket.

Bang dang!

Bang dang!

Bang dang!

……

……

When Dukang arrived, his shot was like Beethoven's possession, and he began to play a symphony of welcome.

This is actually understandable.

Mike said that Pat Riley and Popovich were interested in him.

However, he never even received a call from these two people.

But Coach D!

Such a big shot!

He actually came here in person!

Will my fate be changed?

My God!

Please, let me get in and let Coach D see that even if I don't dare to run or jump, I can shoot and be a 7-foot shooter!

Bang dang!

Bang dang!

Bang dang!

……

……

As Dukang's footsteps got closer and closer, Auden became more and more iron, and he was about to cry.

Not to mention Oden, Mata, who accompanied Dukang, was embarrassed at this time.

Just said Auden so well, this ......

"Coach D, you, what do you think?"

Mata asked stiffly.

"Well, yes, the shot sounds good."

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

After Du Kang finished speaking, he seemed to hear the sound of a basketball dream being shattered by his own hands.

……

……

This is today's second watch, today's two watches!
