[162] Blockbuster trades are frequent in the offseason, and the Spurs send away Ginobili!
The Heat's schedule for the championship parade was quite grand, with general manager Pat Riley and owner Mickey Allison both participating.
In addition to the two-day parade in Miami, the team will also take a cruise ship on the East Coast, along the Atlantic Ocean all the way north, passing through Orlando, Charlotte, Philadelphia and New York.
Eventually, he went to Washington and received an audience with the then president of the United States at the White House.
Every year the NBA championship team goes to the White House, but last year Lin Fei did not go with the Timberwolves for some personal reasons.
Because of the injury battle in the finals, especially the huge consumption after the last dunk landed, Wade's left knee accumulated a lot of injuries.
The team doctor's recommendation was for Wade to have knee surgery in the offseason and expect to recover fully in 2-3 months.
"Dwayne, in fact, we don't have to fight to win G4, after all, we still have 3 match points in our hands!"
Lin Fei also felt a little regretful after learning that Wade's knee injury required surgery.
Wade, who stood on the winning float with Lin Fei, puffed out his cheeks and smiled:
"Lin, when I hear the cheers and cheers of these fans along the way, I know it's all worth it!"
"The 35.13 seconds comeback and the 16 wins in the playoffs are more perfect than a normal championship, and if I were given another chance, I would still be desperate!"
"Besides, my knee injury isn't too serious, I'm still young, I'll definitely recover soon!"
Lin Fei also smiled and patted Wade's shoulder, Wade in the original world left a huge hidden danger to his knee because of his explosive style of play in the early stage, which led to frequent injuries and early retirement in the middle and late stages of his career.
I hope that this knee surgery will make Wade realize the importance of protecting his knee as soon as possible, improve his shortcomings in projection, and start a new career.
The historical position of the former World Wade after his retirement is quite embarrassing, although he is known as the third quarterback in history, his historical status in the NBA can only be ranked around 30.
Nowitzki, who only won one championship, is ranked within 20 in history, far surpassing Wade, who won 3 championships and 1 FMVP.
The biggest reason for this is because Wade did not have a regular season MVP in his career.
Of course, it is not easy to be harmed by James's so-called brother basketball.
But in today's parallel world, Wade won the regular season MVP in the second year of his rookie contract, and if you add the next steady and steady play, his historical status is naturally expected to become higher.
As for Lin Fei, in the new season, he will naturally choose to finish his contract in the second year of the Heat's contract, and strive to win another championship.
After three seasons in this way, Lin Fei's personal technical defects and shortcomings can gradually make up for it, and he has enough strength to become the absolute core of an NBA team.
After the contract expires, Lin Fei will make a new choice.
At present, Lin Fei and Wade have only one year left on their contracts, and Pat Riley's Heat management has also negotiated with Wade and Lin Fei's agent in advance.
The Heat boss has already said that he will not care about the luxury tax, and intends to sign Wade and Lin Fei at the same time with the maximum salary.
Wade is naturally willing to renew his contract with the Heat with a maximum salary, but Lin Fei and agent Qin Dongmei did not give a clear statement.
With the victory parade and visit to the White House coming to an end, the time is fast approaching June 28.
The annual NBA Draft is still held at Madison Square Garden in New York.
Lin Fei was invited to participate in the draft with O'Neal, and Wade returned to Miami early for knee surgery.
Speaking of the 2005 draft, which is basically a draft year, the NBA has always had a saying that there must be a water in the top spot.
But the champions in 2005, Bodog and Marvin Williams, can't be said to be parallel imports, they can only be said to be equally mediocre.
"The current NBA rookies are really not as good as they are every year, is the center really going to wither? What the hell is this Australian champion? ”
O'Neill pouted and shook his head, obviously not optimistic about Bodog's development in the league.
Lin Fei chuckled and said: "Shaquille, your vision is not bad, maybe the NBA's center era is really coming to an end for you!" ”
In contrast, the Jazz's draft of Deron Williams with the scout pick, and Chris Paul, selected by the Hornets with the fourth pick, are about to beat the top pick and the top pick in the same class.
In Lin Fei's view, DeLong is not inferior to Paul in terms of physical talent and point guard organization, and his defense is equally tough.
In the original world, Delong had the nemesis title of "eating and sleeping to beat Paul", but his development did not go well in the later stage, and he finally withdrew from the league relatively early.
But in today's parallel world, Lin Fei feels that his butterfly effect will change a lot, and perhaps Delong's achievements will not be lower than that of São Paulo.
The first few picks were not much different from Lin Fei's impression, and the Lakers also chose Andrew Bynum with the 10th pick.
However, the Timberwolves got the No. 16 pick in an upward trade, and the Pacers cut off small forward Danny Granger one step ahead of the Pacers.
In his previous conversation with Garnett, Lin Fei inadvertently revealed some views on the 2005 rookie, which seems to have affected the Timberwolves' draft operations.
If he hadn't suffered a serious injury in his career, Danny Granger was arguably the top rookie star of 2005, scoring 25.8 points in his peak season and winning the Most Improved Player award.
Now that Granger is heading to the Timberwolves, if he can start directly in the new season, his talent will inevitably be realized quickly, and Garnett has another helper by his side, and the pattern of the West will continue to change.
The Heat didn't have a 2005 first-round pick because of the previous trade, and only had a second-round pick.
In the 2005 second-round pick, Lin Fei had the impression that Monta Alice was the only one, and was selected by the Warriors with the 40th pick in the second round.
Lin Fei suggested that the Heat management use a second-round pick to take Monta Alice, although this guy has no leadership temperament, it is still very useful to be a scoring bandit on the bench.
In the future, if it is a transaction, the value is also not small.
But the Heat management ultimately chose power forward Ronnie Turyaf to bolster the interior.
Lin Fei is not interested in meddling in this, after all, he will play another season in the Heat, and he can be regarded as completing his task.
The weakness of the Heat's current lineup is indeed on the inside, except for one O'Neal, Haslem and Roughly have obvious deficiencies.
With the end of the draft, the time is fast approaching July 1, and the offseason free agent market is officially open.
NBA teams are eager to make the leap and are actively operating and trading in hopes of strengthening their teams and rebuilding their championship hopes.
Lin Fei was arranged by Qin Dongmei and the public relations team to fly back to China to conduct a series of business activities and fan meetings.
Anta Group sponsored 30 million Celestial Dynasty coins to hold fan meetings for Lin Fei in stadiums in six major cities in China, and also promoted the two generations of basketball shoes endorsed by Lin Fei.
Roughly and the Heat's rookie player Tony Allen, who is now also a signed player under Anta, followed Lin Fei to participate in the event.
At the same time, there are also continuous rumors of transactions from various teams in the NBA, and several strong teams in the East and West that aim to win the championship have actively strengthened the powerful Miami Heat.
The conflict between Ron Artest and the Pacers management intensified, and Timberwolves general manager McHale also took advantage of the fire to get Artest through a trade to upgrade the team's defense.
The Cleveland Cavaliers traded for Warsington Wizards to acquire shooting guard Larry Hughes to add to James' side.
The Los Angeles Lakers sent away Caron Butler, who had a ball conflict with Kobe, and also welcomed back "Zen Master" Phil Jackson to work hard to develop the Sharks in the offseason.
The Phoenix Suns sent away Quentin Richardson in a trade for defensive stalwart Raga Bell to bolster the team's backcourt defense.
Among these transactions, the most shocking and incredible thing for Lin Fei was the news that the San Antonio Spurs sent away Ginobili.
The wheels of fate began to roll.
On July 3, when Lin Fei attended a grand fan meeting at the Hongkou Football Stadium in the magic capital, on the way back to the hotel in an RV, he received a text message from Ginobili:
"Lin, I'm going to start a new chapter in my career in Dallas, and I'm sorry I can't stay with the Spurs, but this is the NBA!"
Lin Fei found out that this text message was sent a few hours ago, and asked Qin Dongmei, the agent sitting next to him, to know that Ginobili had indeed been traded by the Spurs to the Mavericks.
"That's right, 5 hours ago, the Spurs sent Ginobili and Robert Horry, and got Jason Stackhouse and Keith Fanhorn from the Mavericks!"
"Now the fans who are born Antonio regard Ginobili as the sinner of the team, he averaged less than 9 points per game against you in the finals, especially the slipping mistake in the last moment of G4, maybe it really broke the hearts of the fans!"
"This is the cruel NBA, Lin Fei, not everyone can take their fate into their own hands like you!"
"Because you're strong enough!"
Lin Fei shook his head and sighed lightly: "The Spurs will definitely regret this stupid deal for them!" ”
"Although Stackhouse is still the league's top quarterback, he is 32 years old, but Ginobili's ceiling is still very high!"
"The Mavericks in the new season, I'm afraid they will play a strong record!"
For Ginobili being traded to the Mavericks, Lin Fei knew that this was a direct result of his butterfly effect, and the Spurs' sweep in the Finals was enough to change too many things.
The GDP of the original world, which was regarded as a legend, finally collapsed early because of a missed championship.
But apart from himself as a traverser, who can foresee that the Spurs will win 3 championships in the future under the framework of GDP?
In Lin Fei's impression, the Dallas Mavericks in the original world 2005-06 season can be said to be very strong, they got a record of 60 wins in the regular season, but because of the league's ranking division,
The 60-win Mavericks finished in fourth place in the West, below the Suns with 54 wins and the Nuggets with 44 wins.
That's pretty outrageous.
It is precisely because of this unreasonable ranking that Dirk Nowitzki, who averages 26.6 points and 9 rebounds per game, lost to his old friend Steve Nash, who has 18.8 points and 10.5 assists, in the regular season MVP selection.
Although the "little overlord" Stoudemire was reimbursed at the start of the season that season, and Nash was indeed strong in leading the Suns to play second in the West alone, but the Suns only had 54 wins after all!
Lin Fei is not a fan of Nuotianwang, but in his opinion, the regular season MVP of the 06 season is obviously more reasonable for Nowitzki.
I have the impression that the regular season MVP of the 05-06 season is also the most competitive year,
Kobe Bryant turned on the god-killing mode, and his average points per game soared to 35.4 points this season, leading the Lakers to 45 wins.
Third-year LeBron James also officially played a highlight season, averaging 31.4 points per game to lead the Cavaliers to 50 wins.
Duncan's Spurs won 62 and Billups' Pistons won 64......
All in all, the new 2005-06 season is destined to be a classic season of fairy fights, and Lin Fei will have to work harder if he wants to stand out among these stars.
After a little thought, Lin Fei quickly twitched his fingers on Nokia's keyboard and sent a text message back to Ginobili:
"Manu, come on, I believe you will get a different glory in Dallas!"
Texas, Dallas.
Dallas International Airport, 3 p.m.
What Ginobili didn't expect was that Mavericks owner Mark Cuban and team core Dirk Nowitzki were all waiting at the airport in advance, just to pick up the wind for themselves.
"Manu, welcome, Dallas is a beautiful city, I believe you will get a new life here, let's work together to fight for the championship!"
Mark Cuban has always been a humane owner, and his friendship with Nowitzki has been hailed as a classic by fans.
Ginobili excitedly walked up to shake hands with Cuban, and at the same time hugged Nowitzki, an old rival on the international stage.
The original sense of loss in my heart that was swept away by the spurs is now suddenly in a much better mood.
"The different Texas style really flattered me!"
"Mr. Cuban, Dirk, hopefully I can play better here!"
That evening, Cuban personally hosted a banquet for Ginobili, which was attended by the Mavericks' Nowitzki, Terry, Josh Howard, Eric Dampier, and head coach Avery Johnson.
The team positioned Ginobili as the second man under Nowitzki.
However, due to tactical needs, it is not ruled out that Ginobili will play the sixth man.
Ginobili has no complaints, this kind of treatment has exceeded his original expectations.
After the dinner that night, the general manager of the Mavericks, who returned to his office, also decided to invite Zhu Fangyu, a CBA player of the Celestial Empire, to try out with the team, and intended to give the other party a guaranteed base salary contract.
After learning the news, China also made a lot of publicity and advocacy, claiming that Zhu Fangyu is very likely to become the fifth Celestial Empire player to set foot in the NBA.
