Chapter 138: The Trick of the Deal, the Knicks' Biggest Rival! (10,000-character chapter, kneeling for subscriptions, monthly passes)
On June 28, the 2006 NBA Draft was held at Madison Square Garden.
The Knicks won't make any moves at the draft this year, but Wang Shuo still watched the broadcast of this year's draft on TV.
Because he was more curious about which team Yi Jianlian would be selected.
With the first pick in the first round, there were no surprises, and the Magic selected Bagnani from Italy with their No. 1 pick.
It's not a good choice, it's not a bad choice.
Judging by the future trajectory of the '06 rookie, Brandon Roy has reached the highest height at his peak, and Kyle Lowry and LaMarcus Aldridge have a longer shelf life after they have grown.
But after Rondo ran a year early, Rudy Gay and Millsap were eliminated......
Among the rookies in the class of '06, how many buddies dare to say that they are stronger than Bagnani?
The second pick in the first round, Michael Jordan, who held the eye sign in his hand, blinded Wang Shuo's "Eye of the Emperor".
Before the draft began, Wang Shuo thought that Danzi would use this list to choose Aldridge or Yi Jianlian from the University of Texas.
The former, who has a straight-arm shot with one hand, can pull out of the air, and can also partner with Okafor and Wallace.
The latter, after improving the shooting posture, also has the possibility of practicing straight-arm shooting, and also has the blessing of the Chinese market.
But unfortunately, since Danzi went to a Gonzaga University game, he fell in love with Adam Morrison, who had fluffy curly hair, wore retro stockings, and had a small mustache.
The reason why Jordan fell in love with Morrison, in Wang Shuo's view, is likely to be related to the fact that he had been abused by Bird in the early years of his career.
As we all know, in Danzina's career, he has only been swept twice.
Although, in the NBA, whoever comes out to mix will be stabbed.
However, for Jordan, the record of being swept by the Celtics twice led by Bird in the early years of his career......
has already made him a loyal fan of Bird quietly.
So when he notices Morrison's label of "Bird's successor", where can he still control his restless heart?
And what's more, after going to the scene to watch a Morrison game in person, Jordan himself was fascinated by Morrison's steady backward shooting and signature one-handed ball-bearing shooting.
In Jordan's view, where is Morrison's "Bird successor"?
He is clearly the reincarnation of Bird's soul, Bird II in every sense! (Bird: ?) )
Jordan should really check out the locker room at Gonzaga University, though.
In Wang Shuo's previous life, there were many reasons why Morrison failed to make a name for himself in the NBA.
In addition to injuries and Morrison's own diabetes, which requires insulin before every game......
What caused Morrison not to play......
Another is because this guy is probably the most unpopular teammate in NBA history.
Morrison has a "notorious" habit of never showering after playing, likes to chew tobacco and spit in the locker room, and only changes clothes three times a year.
Because Morrison's smell in the locker room was so strong, his teammates had to force him to take a shower every once in a while.
Despite being a "manly" sport, there are many unhygienic players in the NBA.
But in the history of the NBA, there is really no athlete who can match Adam Morrison when it comes to unhygienic care.
On this night, after Jordan was satisfied with the selection of Morrison, Wang Shuo felt that the Bobcats players were going to suffer heavily next season.
Do you say that it is easy for a Bobcat player to play a ball and earn some money to support his family?
As for being tortured by "poison gas" in the locker room all day long?
Then, with the third pick in the first round, the Hornets immediately completed the trade with the Trail Blazers, who selected Tyrus Thomas with the fourth pick in the first round, after selecting Aldridge.
Thomas is about the same height as West, has excellent bounce, a tough defensive style in college, and has a hand-shot.
The Hornets, who were going to get up from wherever they fell, thought that he was similar to West and that his physical fitness was better, so they fell in love with him early in the morning.
It's just that the Hornets management secretly found out that the Trail Blazers wanted to draft Aldridge, so they planned to make a big deal out of the Trail Blazers in the draft.
However, the Hornets management really looked away this time.
Because in addition to being close to West in height, in Wang Shuo's view, Thomas has nothing to do with West, at least it can be said that they are irrelevant to each other.
As for the Hornets management's belief that Thomas is a strengthened version of West, that's even more nonsense.
Because as far as West's blocking and dismantling consciousness is concerned, even if Thomas is given another hundred years, Thomas will not be able to learn West's skin.
In Wang Shuo's view, instead of minding the fact that the Hornets gave West White to the Knicks back then, it is better to use their probe to choose Yi Jianlian.
Because the popularity of New Orleans in China is really high, as long as the wasps are willing to invest in Yi Jianlian, then in the future, even if they sell "New Orleans roast wings", the wasps will be able to recoup their costs.
It's the management of the Trailblazers, and this wave has made a lot of money in Wang Shuo's opinion.
Because Aldridge is arguably the most worthy player in this rookie class.
Compared to Lowry, who still needs to take a long time to level up......
Aldridge can have an All-Star interior level after two years of practice.
It's that Wang Shuo doesn't know what the pioneers plan to do with Zach Randolph in this life.
Historically, the Trail Blazers found the Knicks to take over Randolph.
Regardless of the future until retirement, Randolph can average 14.5 points and 6.7 rebounds per game.
But in these years, there are really not many big grievances that dare to take over Randolph.
Because this guy is not just a "problem teenager", what drunk driving, buying illegal guns, for Randolph, it can only be regarded as pediatrics.
In the future, Portland police even want to prosecute him for possession and trafficking in marijuana.
Wang Shuo knows very well that the management of the Trail Blazers has long been dissatisfied with Randolph, but there is no team in the league willing to take over, so the Trail Blazers will try to squeeze some more oil and water out of Randolph's fat in the spirit of capitalists who will never waste it.
Before the draft, Yi Jianlian, who was expected to be selected in the top three picks, was also a little nervous at this time.
Because when he came to the draft tonight, he knew very well how many people's hopes and eyes he carried.
However, fate, while making a big joke with the United Arab Emirates, pointed him to a team that was most suitable for him in Wang Shuo's eyes, and there was no one.
Sam Presti, who was the fifth pick in the first round and was poached from San Antonio by "Russian Village" businessman Bennett and entrusted with the important task, used the Seattle SuperSonics to select Yi Jianlian from China!
Presti is well aware that it is only a matter of time before the SuperSonics move out of Seattle, so the SuperSonics are in desperate need of a player who can bring some commercial value to the team after the SuperSonics move.
Yi Jianlian, who changed his shooting posture, has a high degree of plasticity in Presti's eyes.
And Presti intends to trade Lewis away next season to continue the mess.
As a general manager who dared to approve Durant's unlimited iron rights in his rookie season, Presti is ready to give the same unlimited iron rights to the UAE next season.
It doesn't matter if you get in or not, anyway, as long as the UAE is happy and can satisfy his fans.
In the NBA, just because you have a good vision doesn't mean you're going to be able to develop the rookies you choose.
In Wang Shuo's memory, the reason why Presti is affectionately called "Pushen" by Thunder fans is precisely because he has an extraordinary patience with young players.
For example, before Wang Shuo crossed over, the Shay Kyrgyz Alexander, who was asserted by the "water short" that would definitely play under Presti, was questioned by a group of readers who didn't know the ball, and made the first team of the NBA All-NBA team in the 22/23 season.
It can be said that in addition to being able to select people, Presti is also good at cultivating young players.
Although Oklahoma will be a little smaller after moving to Supersonic in the future, after being selected by SuperSonic, in Wang Shuo's view, in the next few years, the United Arab Emirates will definitely get a better growth environment than he remembers.
In front of the TV, Wang Shuo immediately sent a congratulatory text message to the United Arab Emirates.
Then, he saw the news that the Sacramento Kings had selected Brandon Roy with the No. 6 pick in the first round that they had picked up from the Cavaliers.
Both were also sixth picks, but Roy's career trajectory could be rewritten.
Because after selecting him, the Kings had no intention of trading with the Trail Blazers.
The Kings plan to trade Peja, who had a strained relationship with Webb, for the new season, and focus on developing Roy.
One might say, didn't the king trade Webb away? Why does Peja, who has a conflict with him, have to trade?
In the NBA, for a team's management, if Peja can mess with Webb today, how can the team guarantee that Peja won't mess with everyone else tomorrow?
Last season, with his form slipping, Peja was nowhere near the point where Kings management could ignore the feelings of the rest of the team in order to support him.
In the new season, the Kings are even ready not to renew Adelman's contract.
I plan to hire a coach who is good at developing young players, and let Bibby take Roy to practice at the same time, and officially start the rebuild.
The Trail Blazers failed to convince the Kings to trade Roy to them, so they had to settle for the next draft and trade Rudy Gay, who was drafted by the Bucks with the eighth pick in the first round.
As for Kyle Lowry, who is more capable of playing in Wang Shuo's memory, he was selected by the Grizzlies with the twentieth pick in the first round.
The Jazz drafted Paul Millsap in the second round.
At this point, the 2006 draft officially ended, and the Knicks, who simply sold the team's second-round draft picks, released the news that the team was ready to trade Damon Jones shortly after the draft ended.
For a while, before the start of the draft, the general managers of the Knicks, who were reluctant to sell second-round draft picks to the Knicks, stepped through the threshold of the Knicks' general manager's office.
One might say, is Damon Jones that great at the same time in history?
The answer is, of course not.
But, as the Knicks' No. 3 point guard, he has.
In the past two seasons, Jones' three-point shooting rate has been above 40%, and basically every time Wang Shuo sends him on the court, he can immediately give the team back like a microwave.
Plus it's the 76-6 Knicks who are a meritorious player......
Just ask you, do you want Jones to go to your team and teach you championship experience?
Want it?
"I have to see at least one first-round pick before I can let Damon go."
On this day, Wang Shuo, who has always liked to do business with a clear price, asked Redden to convey his opinion to those teams who wanted Jones.
Finally, after a round of drafting, Wang Shuo caught his eye on the 2008 first-round pick of his old club, the Wizards.
There is nothing else in this deal, as the so-called politics in his position, Wang Shuo can't just give Jones to other teams because he wants to choose nomadism in the future, regardless of the Knicks' life or death.
People live for a lifetime, but they have a clear conscience.
No matter what level of monster this Knicks will be cultivated in the future, Wang Shuo, who is the Knicks' talker at this moment, must be responsible for the future of the Knicks.
On July 1, as soon as the free agent market opened, the Wizards quickly closed a trade with the Knicks.
However, compared to another transaction on the 1st, the "PY" between the Wizards and Wang Shuo is not even news.
On this day, looking at the news report, Wang Shuo sighed with a surprised face: "Could it be that Robert Savor is really a genius?" ”
What about genius?
On the day of the 1st, even Steve Cole felt ......
He probably had a slight misunderstanding about Savor before.
"How? Am I very witty?
As soon as my assistant mentioned Shaq O'Neal to me, I reacted immediately!
In this alliance, Amaré can't defend against Yao and Tim, it doesn't mean that no one can fight against Yao and Tim! ”
On this day, after reaching a trade deal with the Pacers, Saver, who has developed a sense of superiority in IQ, said to Kerr with a happy face.
Under the agreement, the Pacers will send All-Star center Jermaine O'Neal, star forward Al Harrington, and the team's backup point guard Jarrett Jack, as well as two second-round picks from Phoenix in 2008 and 2010 to return a power forward Amare Stoudemire and Raga Bell.
As soon as this deal came out, Wang Shuo couldn't help but look at Sarvor.
As the best interior partner in the East last season in the face of the "meme combination", the biggest problem for the 28-year-old O'Neal Jr. is his injury concern.
But for the Suns, who have a Phoenix "repair shop", this problem is not a problem at all.
Al Harrington won't talk about it, in fact, this buddy's true peak hasn't come yet.
The key to the smooth completion of this deal is that the Suns feel that they have lost too much by exchanging Xiao Si Dan for O'Neal Jr.
But with the combination of O'Neal and Harrington Jr. in exchange for Xiaosi, the Pacers felt that they had lost to their grandmother's house.
So after some tugging between the two sides, because the Pacers knew that the Suns lacked a reliable backup point guard, and the Suns were willing to add Raga Bell, who was also "Wang Shuo's remnant", into the trade......
So, after thinking about it for less than five seconds, after giving the Suns two additional second-round picks to compensate for the price difference, Pacers spokesman Bird immediately finalized the deal.
For the Pacers, the strength of their team has undoubtedly improved after this deal.
In this life, Xiao Si, who has changed his playing style, is far less likely to have such a high risk of injury than Wang Shuo remembers.
With his pick-and-roll paired with Davis' muscular supercar and wing support from Granger and Bale, Bird is confident that with a little reinforcement this summer, Philip Saunders will be able to crash into the Knicks next season in the new Indo.
And if nothing else, the arrival of Xiao Si, a super power forward, can also greatly boost the Pacers' ball market.
As for the sun......
After this deal, although Phoenix fans and Iverson are not very satisfied, in terms of the overall strength of the team, the Suns have really become stronger.
With the blessing of Phoenix's "repair shop", what are the shortcomings of O'Neill Jr., in addition to the occasional iron strike?
Coupled with the arrival of Harrington and Jack, the Suns indirectly strengthened their weak bench bench......
As long as Kerr can heal Iverson's wounded heart due to the departure of Jr. in the summer, and then take advantage of the Suns' mid-range exception to bring in one or two reliable substitutes......
In the new season, if those Western Conference teams aiming for the Finals don't want to figure out a way, then wait until O'Neal Jr. develops a three-point shot this summer......
In Wang Shuo's view, it is very likely that this Suns will shoot through the entire West next season!
And, in a sense, Sarver really caused the Knicks a big problem in the East.
"He's not really a genius, is he?" On this day, looking at this deal between the Pacers and the Suns, Wang Shuo fell into deep contemplation.
Whether Savol is a genius or not is not known.
But Carlisle, who officially started his coaching career in Dallas this summer, is sure to be a talent.
After a lot of hard talk and finally convincing Cuban to add Dampier, who didn't know if he had evidence of his cheating, to the deal, the Mavericks and Pistons reached a "PY" deal for Ray Allen on the 2nd.
It's no secret that the Pistons want to trade Ray Allen this summer in order to save money.
But, can we be reasonable?
What does this mean by co-authoring, you guys take out one or two draft picks, and you want to prostitute our Ray Allen for nothing?
On the 2nd, looking at the humiliating offers made to them by other teams, the Pistons management was furious, and agreed to the Mavericks' agreement to trade Ray Allen in the form of Dampier and Crohill plus the Mavericks' future first-round picks, in line with the principle that it would be better to take this opportunity to mend the relationship with Carlisle than to cheapen others.
Because on the 1st, the Pistons had already sent Oku to Utah in exchange for a first-round pick and a second-round pick for the future Jazz.
So, while Dampier and Crohill are paid slightly more than Ray Allen, the Pistons' ample salary space could make the deal work out before they sign a contract extension with Big Ben.
For the Pistons, with this deal, they not only got a backup for Big Ben, but because Crohill's contract expires at the end of next season, they also indirectly cleared up salary space.
Of course, this deal, the Pistons can't talk about how profitable.
But for the Pistons, who don't have a solid family, they have no other choice.
As for the Mavericks, after acquiring Carlisle's love during his time with the Pistons, Ray Allen, through this deal......
In the new season, judging from the books, the Mavericks' starter is really terrifying.
Kidd, Ray Allen, Howard, Nowitzki, Chandler......
Right now, as long as Carlisle can find a way to bring back a more reliable and more mobile top wing to the Mavericks, this Mavericks' lineup, Wang Shuo is fully willing to call it:
- Western Galactic Battleship.
So the question is, for the Mavericks, whose total salary is about to break the $90 million mark, can they bring back such a top wing to Nowitzki?
A: Not at this point.
However, Carlisle had already thought of a plan in his mind.
Because in the NBA, as long as you have a salary level or one side has the salary space to eat into the contract of the opposing player, your trade can be done.
Carlisle is well aware that the only one with trade value in this Mavericks is Josh Howard.
However, since Howard still has to get a child labor contract next season, the only way for the Mavericks to get an ideal top wing is to use the window when Nowitzki's contract expires at the end of next season to complete a cap-extension with Howard through birding, and use salary reciprocity to trade the Mavericks for an ideal top wing.
As a construction coach, Carlisle doesn't have to worry about luxury tax in Dallas.
And most importantly, Nowitzki is the same as Wang Shuo remembers.
Not only is the German king willing to give everything for the Mavericks, he has even told Cuban and Maverick management that he can choose to take a pay cut if necessary.
For Nowitzki's loyalty, Cuban knew that communication between men never required too many words.
Don't ask, ask is in his Cuban eyes, the first championship in the history of this Mavericks must be led by Nowitzki, there is no second possibility!
Isn't it money?
He, James Dolan, treats money like dung.
I, Matt Cuban, don't care about paying the league more luxury tax!
……
This summer, teams across the league are trying their best to build a team with the Knicks in mind.
But compared to this group of general managers who are about to run out of brains......
Wang Shuo's work this summer is mainly fishing.
In fact, after arranging for the Knicks to lead the team in this year's summer league, Wang Shuo officially plans to start his vacation.
Slow your strengthening, everyone!
Dude, I won't toss with you, and when the summer is over, Dude, come back and see which of you will be second next season.
Don't ask, the question is that after renewing the contract with Yao Ming and West, Wang Shuo has fully felt "how lonely the invincible is" at this moment.
Of course, before the official start of the holiday, Wang Shuo did not forget to recruit a third point guard for the Knicks.
Originally, Wang Shuo's initial idea was to leave this position for this year's undrafted José Barria.
Baria, who dares to fill in "183" cm in height, is only about 175 cm tall.
Don't look at this buddy is short, in Wang Shuo's memory in the future, even James, who is known as "natural divine power", can't beat him.
In addition, Barria, who is stocky in the next handicap, also has a good three-point shot, as long as England and Joan Barry take him to practice more, Wang Shuo is confident that his three-point shooting will play a role in opening up enough space on the court next season.
But the plan can't keep up with the changes.
On the 4th, just as Wang Shuo was about to ask Redden to contact Barria's agent, he suddenly received a call from Gary Payton.
On the phone, Peyton first cried to Wang Shuo about his tragic experience in Boston.
Then, he took the initiative to sincerely apologize to Wang Shuo for refusing the Knicks' invitation that year.
In short, in one word.
Peyton wanted Wang Shuo to take him.
Brother, can you give me a chance?
Back then, I was young and ignorant and ignorant, but now I know that it's okay to be wrong?
After teasing "this is not Gary Payton who would rather die than come to the Knicks to play" on the phone, Wang Shuo said: "It's not impossible if you want to come to the Knicks, because your experience is really what we need." ”
As one of Kobe's three life coaches, the top defensive guru who helped Kobe Bryant make great strides on the defensive end, although Barria is also very fragrant, compared to Payton's defensive experience......
Barria, who can only defend against James, how can He De be compared to "Glove" Peyton?
In Wang Shuo's view, whether it is Rondo or Duhon, Payton is needed to help them strengthen their defense right now.
Moreover, the dignified "gloves" have already put their posture so low, Wang Shuo can't help but give others a chance to swear allegiance to himself, right?
Wang Shuo is not Jordan's kind of person whose heart is smaller than a needle, but on this day, on the phone, Wang Shuo still made a few requests to Peyton.
The first is that, given Payton's current strength, next season, his main job will definitely not be on the court, but on coaching young players off the court.
Payton laughed at the request: "I played against Lajane last season, and his defense was much more tender than I was back then.
When I teach him a few tricks, I'm sure he'll be named to the All-Defensive Team in the near future. ”
Secondly, since it is an oath of allegiance, in Wang Shuo's opinion, it is necessary to sign a deed of sale.
Wang Shuo is well aware of how valuable Payton's defensive experience is.
To tell the truth, as far as Payton's defensive skills are concerned, it is difficult for many young players to grasp the true meaning even if they practice for a lifetime.
Therefore, Wang Shuo plans to recruit Payton into his coaching team after he retires, and in the future, he will be responsible for guiding the defense of the young guards of Wang Shuo's nomadic team.
Hearing this, Peyton, who never expected that he would even find a retirement job, immediately said excitedly: "It will be my honor to work with you!" ”
So, just like that, after happily giving Payton a veteran base salary, as the 15th person of the Knicks was officially finalized, countless veterans who wanted to join the Knicks suddenly felt a chill in their hearts!
So, do you have to fight for the opportunity on your own?
This summer, playing for the Timberwolves for one more year than Wang Shuo remembers, I thought that the Knicks would definitely extend an olive branch to him, and the "madman" Sprewell, who was already ready at home, was stupid at that time.
As the outside core of the Knicks' black eight all the way to the Finals, where could Sprewell have imagined that the Knicks would be so ruthless?
But what Sprewell didn't know was ......
Not to mention Wang Shuo, at present, in the entire league, except for the Timberwolves management, there is no other team that wants to negotiate with him.
Even last season, he was still averaging around 14 points per game.
……
With the official finalization of the Knicks' third point guard, in mid-July, Wang Shuo officially started his vacation.
Before the official start of the holiday, Wang Shuo also made a special trip to the "God of Coaching Training Camp" and instructed Grover and England to tutor Yi Jianlian, who joined the training camp this summer.
On the day the UAE arrived at the camp, Grover saw that he lacked core strength.
In addition, in Grover's opinion, in addition to the necessary muscle gain, the UAE needs to improve his finishing style under the basket.
As for England, Germany plans to upgrade Yi Jianlian's shooting posture to a straight-arm jumper this summer.
However, what Wang Shuo didn't expect was that Long before Yi Jianlian arrived at the training camp, Presti had already provided Yi Jianlian with a list of weaknesses that he needed to improve this summer.
And, in this list of weaknesses, Presti has clearly pointed out the problems that Grover and England Germany believe need to be improved in the UAE.
I have to say that Presti's eyes are indeed vicious.
Especially during the Spurs period, he who watched Duncan play, knew very well how low Yi Jianlian's finishing method under the basket was at this time.
To put it bluntly, when he was young, in addition to dunking under the basket, his finishing skills under the basket can really only be described as painful.
Wang Shuo remembers that as a seven-foot-tall interior player with explosive physical fitness, Yi Jianlian only had a finishing rate of more than 50% in his NBA career.
Historically, many people have said that this is because the physical confrontation when the UAE first joined the NBA was not good.
But the question is, in the NBA, there are more interior lines with physical confrontation than Yi Jianlian, but is the finishing rate under the basket so bad?
In fact, the biggest problem that has plagued Yi Jianlian's basket finishing rate for a long time is his playing habits and finishing methods under the basket.
For example, Hu Jinqiu in Wang Shuo's memory has a particularly good playing habit in this regard.
Next season, SuperSonics is ready to hold a tour of Yi Jianlian's iron concert.
But either way, Yi Jianlian must improve his finishing rate under the basket.
In the training camp, the UAE was ravaged by a bunch of strong men.
Shortly after Wang Shuo's holiday, in the free agent market, Wang Zhizhi, who has swiped a wave of data in the Timberwolves in the past two years, also successfully won Riley's favor this summer with his average of 11.8 points per game and a 41.7% three-point shooting rate with the Wolves last season.
Although, in history, Wang Zhizhi also played for the Heat.
But in this life, Wang Zhizhi's status in the rivers and lakes is obviously higher than in Wang Shuo's memory.
Wang Zhizhi intends to return to the Bayi team after completing his two-year contract with the Heat.
Although in the past two years, Wang Zhizhi has deeply understood why Wang Shuo said that Yao Ming will definitely surpass him in the future, Wang Zhizhi also hopes that he can maintain his competitive state through high-level confrontation in the NBA.
Historically, it is no accident that the Chinese men's basketball team was able to force Spain into a bitter battle in the 08 Olympic Games.
Perhaps, for future basketball lovers, it will be difficult for them to understand the tradition of the Chinese men's basketball team during this period.
But as a team with a glorious tradition, the golden generation of the Chinese men's basketball team also hopes to explore with Yao Ming during his peak to explore what heights Chinese basketball can reach in international competitions.
Wang Shuo also plans to go to the World Championships this summer.
For nothing else, in addition to wanting to see how the "old Coach K" would defeat Japan, he was also very curious......
In this life, Wang Shipeng still has a chance to kill Slovenia.
……
In late July, the free agent market began to buzz again after being silent for more than half a month.
In the more famous undrafted in '06, Chuck Hayes finally threw himself into the arms of Van Gundy Jr.
As for Baria, who was almost signed by Wang Shuo, he successfully found a job in Dallas as Wang Shuo remembers.
But in late July, compared to these two undrafted players who have not yet made a name for themselves......
That three-way deal for Shaq O'Neal from Miami is another bombshell in the NBA this summer!
Riley, who saw the Heat's problems as early as this year's Eastern Conference finals, did not shake O'Neal's determination to trade O'Neal because of his dedication to the Heat on the court in the past two years.
The "God Operator" has always been so cold-blooded.
This is very much in line with Wang Shuo's impression of him.
But here's the problem......
Is there anyone else in the current league who can fight against the "meme combo"?
A: Of course not.
But it doesn't mean that Riley can't deal with the Knicks by changing his strategy.
After some deliberation, Riley called the 76ers management and then the Trail Blazers.
And proposed a deal to them, which the other party could hardly refuse.
Under the three-way trade agreement, the Heat will send former NBA No. 1 center Shaq O'Neal and Antoine Walker, as well as Zach Randolph, Samuel Delham Porter, and the Trail Blazers' 2009 first-round pick and 2010 second-round pick from the 76ers, respectively.
The 76ers will get Antoine Walker and the Trail Blazers' second-round pick in 2007 in this deal.
The Trail Blazers, on the other hand, will get Shaq O'Neal.
In this three-way deal, the Trail Blazers managed to send away Zach Randolph, whom they had always wanted to go.
Although the Trail Blazers posted a total of three draft picks in order to send away Randolph, after acquiring O'Neal, plus Aldridge and Gay selected in this year's draft, the Trail Blazers are confident that they can quickly complete a rebuild next season.
Therefore, even in Wang Shuo's view, the Trailblazers are on the side that has made a lot of money.
And what about the 76ers?
In Wang Shuo's view, the 76ers also made a lot of money.
In this life, because D'Antoni prefers the Brand-Haywood relationship, Hellam Porter has been a backup center for the 76ers.
Wang Shuo knows very well how rigid D'Antoni is in employing people.
So, as David Lee grows, Bowler will only get less and less playing time in the future.
One might ask, isn't David Lee a power forward?
What does he have to do with Hellam Porter, who plays center?
So the question is, why can Yao Ming and Duncan, plus West, basically divide the playing time of the Knicks center and power forward positions?
The rotation of personnel in the NBA and the allocation of player playing time are not what most people think, and each position can only take up its own playing time for each position.
Therefore, the 76ers do need Walker more than Ballam Porter to improve their forward hardness.
Also, unlike Hellam Porter's contract, which expires in the summer, Walker's contract expires in the summer of 2007, so even if he doesn't play well in Philadelphia, the 76ers have plenty of salary space to recruit players in the future.
However, both the Trail Blazers and the 76ers made ......
Isn't that a big loss for the Heat?
In Wang Shuo's view, the Heat deal is more like a low-risk gamble.
Why?
Because Randolph is really the one, the hidden interior player in the league who can fight against the "meme combo".
In Wang Shuo's previous life, whether he was facing Yao Ming or Duncan, Randolph could use his battle and retreat to deal with him, and he was not inferior in personal data.
Moreover, when Randolph is necessary, he can really carry Yao Ming and Duncan on the inside.
What?
You say Randolph can't defend against Yao Ming and Duncan?
No......
In the current alliance, who can guard against Yao Ming and Duncan?
Wang Shuo knows that Riley's idea for this trade is very simple, essentially to exchange resources with the Knicks in the game next season.
No matter how much Randolph can change with the "meme combo" in the game, at least compared to O'Neal.
Of course, the premise for Randolph to be able to change must be that Riley can control this young man.
Therefore, Wang Shuo will think that this three-way deal of the Heat is a gamble.
But the reason why the risk is not high is because the "God Operator" Riley also left a back hand in this deal.
With the 76ers, Damham Porter's stats were average, with only six points and six rebounds or so last season.
But as a relatively good defensive interior player in the NBA during this period......
Again, Hellam Porter didn't play well with the 76ers only because D'Antoni preferred to use Haywood and David Lee.
Therefore, even if Randolph smashes it, as long as Damham Porter can play at his normal level, the Heat will still be a team in the championship sequence.
After all, this Heat's front guard line is really luxurious that even Wang Shuo is greedy.
And, in addition to Hellam Porter, Riley also took advantage of the Trail Blazers' management's eagerness to get Randolph in exchange for two future draft picks for the Heat.
Therefore, this gamble, even if Riley loses the bet, it is irrelevant.
But the bet was won, and the two brothers Dalem Porter and Randolph were definitely better than O'Neal, whose martial arts were mostly abolished, when facing the Knicks.
Wang Shuo found that none of the legends in his memory that could leave their names in the NBA were fuel-efficient lamps.
"Alas! It's all my fault, pushing them too hard. On this day, Wang Shuo, who was on vacation with Ambrosio, silently sighed in his heart.
No way.
If you want to blame the Knicks, their 76-6 record last season was too impressive.
If you want to blame Wang Shuo, the dynastic slogan of "Make New York Great Again" shouted by Wang Shuo has completely maddened this era.
However, even though the NBA teams are constantly operating tricks this summer, what can really make Wang Shuo vigilant is the old man who is being rescued at the moment:
– Arnold Auerbach.
Wang Shuo knew very well how crazy Auerbach's death would have made his disciples.
And, this summer, the Celtics have officially fired Doug Rivers.
So, even if it's a little outrageous to say it.
But you may not believe it.
In Wang Shuo's opinion, in the next two years, the one who can really prevent the Knicks from establishing a dynasty is really the old man who is about to pass away.
That, in order to comfort his heavenly spirit, his disciples can do whatever the rules allow, and at all costs, to return the Celts to the top of the mountain......
