Chapter Twenty-Six: Trade the Monster Marsh and the Alien Cassel
Lin Yu, as a traverser, naturally knew that the Heat had won the bet, and Mashburn had a new life in the Heat, and even became stronger, with a three-point shooting rate skyrocketing, and his defensive ability had also improved a lot, from an offensive knife player to a top small forward with both offense and defense.
The bullets are already short of serious small forwards, and the trade value of Mashburn is extremely low, such a treasure player is in front of him, and he is within reach, and Lin Yu really can't find a reason not to take it down.
It's a pity to listen to the bone crusher about Mashburn, he doesn't have the slightest interest in Mashburn.
"Mr. Unseld, do you want to disgust Pat Riley again?"
Lin Yu had an idea and thought of a way to persuade Unseld to trade Mashburn.
"Childish! Who do you think of me? ”
"Well, I don't have much to do today, but I have time to listen to you in detail."
Unselde leaned sideways, looking deaf.
He and Pat Riley are not considered mortal enemies because of the Second Uncle Huo incident.
This is like the daughter-in-law was abducted and even received a marriage certificate, even if the daughter-in-law was later sent back by the court, can the bitter master forgive the abductor?
As soon as he heard it disgusting Pat Riley, Unseld was intrigued.
"My idea is that we just cut off the Heat trade and trade Mashburn."
"Anyway, it doesn't cost much, for example, if we trade Channy, the Mavericks will even have to find us some chips."
Unseld didn't finish listening, and immediately waved his hand and said: "It really doesn't take too many chips to trade Mashburn, but he has already scrapped it." ”
"If he's not of any use, or at his current level, it's Pat Riley who will disgust me."
Lin Yu immediately continued: "Regardless of whether Marsh could play it or not, at least we ruined the Heat's deal, didn't we?" ”
"In addition, you can tell the outside world that I led the deal, in case Mashburn doesn't play out, the full responsibility will be put on my head, and Riley will not be disgusted by you."
"If you think about it, if we run into the Heat in the playoffs this year, and then Mashburn breaks out and knocks out the Heat for us, what would Pat Riley's face be?"
Unselde couldn't laugh or cry, reason told him that it was a bad idea, but the scene Lin Yu described was too fascinating for him.
"Damn, Pauline is right, you shouldn't be a coach, you're going to be a governor!"
"How sure are you?"
Lin Yu smiled confidently, "At least fifty percent." ”
"It's done! I'm going to call old Nelson and hope this madman doesn't ask for a lot of money. ”
"Lin, if you have the chance, you should have more contact with old Nelson, I feel that you two must have a lot of common language, and you are both crazy."
With that, Unselde called Nelson Sr.
Mavericks' current general manager is mad scientist Don Nelson, and his madness has reached outrageous proportions.
This season's Mavericks can be said to be his testing ground, and the number of players on other teams generally does not exceed fifteen, after all, the maximum number of players on the active list is twelve, and no matter how many players there are, they can't use it.
The Mavericks have a ridiculously large number of players this year, with a whopping 27 players playing on their team!
The elder Nelson has been either trading or on the way to a trade this season, experimenting with almost two dozen starting lineups in two-thirds of the schedule.
Lin Yu waited patiently.
After about half an hour of waiting, Unselde's call came.
"Lin, that madman said yes and didn't, he was very interested in Channy, and what he said was very much in line with his fantasies about the future lineup."
"But he also knows that Mashburn is not worth as much as Channy, so he wants to pack that ugly and smoking Cassel for us, and then let us give us more chips."
"Either take Xavi out or give them a first-round pick for next season, and I'm going to give them Lorenzo to take a little bit of pressure off our salary, because it's useless for us to keep it anyway."
Lin Yu listened to what Unselde said in a daze, and really suspected that this thing was a traverser, so he couldn't help asking: "Palace jade liquor, how much is a glass?" ”
"No, you don't understand this, who was the first black president?"
Unselde wanted to get into the phone line and touch Lin Yu's head, he suspected that Lin Yu had a high fever and was already burning.
Lin Yu's suspicion is not untargeted, but the luck of the old bone crusher is a little ridiculously good, and when he traded with the Pacers before, he almost picked up an All-Star starting center Antonio Davis for nothing.
At present, Davis is playing as a substitute for Big Ben, and it is still quite useful.
This time with the Mavericks, he was going to pick up Cassel for nothing again, even if Unseld didn't say his full name, but just based on his ugly and smoking evaluation, Lin Yu knew that it must be Sam Cassel, nicknamed "Alien".
This season has been an absolute nightmare for Cassel, who first played with the Rockets and then was traded to the Mavericks, who played more than a dozen games without Lin Yu and was traded to the New Jersey Nets after All-Star Weekend.
Changing teams three times in one season, his luck isn't necessarily much better than that of Jalen Rose.
Like Webb, Chaney and Mashburn, he was also a rookie in '93, and he is almost in his prime, with the ability to average about 19 points and 7 assists per game, and his strength is really not much worse than taking off.
But in the Maverick test field, he is not very reused, so the data is not very good.
Lin Yu even maliciously speculated that it was Kassel's strange appearance that caused him to be traded all the time, generally speaking, the aesthetics of blacks, whites and yellows are different, but here in Kassel, the aesthetics are surprisingly consistent, this product is really not good-looking.
"Promise them!"
"This deal is bloody! We're short of small forwards and point guards, and with those two, we might even have a chance to wrestle with the Bulls. ”
"And if we can meet the Heat in the playoffs, I'm 90% sure of knocking them out!"
Lin Yu was full of confidence, and after getting these two people, the bullet team's book lineup was enough to be called luxurious.
The lineup of the Bullets itself is not bad, with three All-Star level players, after Lin Yu came, he dug or traded Big Ben, Jalen Rose, and Antonio Davis respectively, and the generals and leg brothers are almost negligible, they belong to the pendant level players without the help of random halos.
If you trade monsters and aliens again, the Bullets' lineup will be a bit against the sky.
In the center position is Big Ben and Antonio Davis.
The big forward position has Weber and Uncle Huo.
Small forward Mashburn, point guard Jalen Rose, and point guard with speeders and aliens.
There are no shortcomings in the five positions, eight All-Stars, all-round toughness, and there are bench scourge bandits like Brother Legs and Generals on the bench, especially Brother Legs, let him shoot three points smoothly, and he can take away the game in one wave.
Although facing a team like the Bulls, it must be almost meaningless, after all, there are too many newcomers on the bullet side, and they will definitely suffer in terms of experience, and there is no player like Jordan in the lineup who can make a final decision, and it is easy to lose the backbone at critical moments.
But playing the Heat or other Eastern giants is definitely enough, more than enough.
"Lin, what I appreciate most about you is that you can maintain your confident appearance when you brag."
"Forget it, this should be the last trade of the season, do you think you should trade Xavi or use the draft pick?"
Unselde asked.
After Lin Yu pondered for a moment, he decided to keep the general on the team and use the draft picks to trade with the Mavericks.
If it were any other draft year, Lin Yu would definitely not be willing to trade the draft picks, because he opened God's perspective, and a first-round pick is almost equivalent to an All-Star rookie.
But the next 1997 draft was extremely special, and there were only three serious All-Stars, namely the top pick Duncan, the probe Billups and the No. 9 pick Maddie.
The Bullets are definitely going to enter the playoffs, and the first-round pick is estimated to be around the 20th pick, and no good player can get such an order, and it is a waste to keep it, it is better to keep General Harvey, after all, his favorability is more than halfway, and Lin Yu doesn't want to give up halfway.
That night, before the game against the Spurs, Lin Yu received a notice from Unseld that the deal was officially finalized.
Lin Yu breathed a sigh of relief, after the trade is over, the lineup in his hand should be his final lineup this season, and he doesn't know how he can play in the playoffs.
……
"Tim, isn't it a disappointment that you didn't see David Robinson on the court today?"
The game on the field has begun, Lin Yu sat on the sidelines and had nothing to do, and joked about Brother Legs.
Brother Leg immediately understood what Lin Yu meant, and said with a red face: "Don't listen to Rod's nonsense, how can it all have Robinson's face." ”
"And even if it looks like Robinson, so what? You can't conquer the general on the field, isn't it also a pleasure to conquer off the field? ”
Lin Yu was speechless, and Brother Legs was gone on the road of perversion.
The Spurs are still the same rotten lineup tonight, with General Robinson already reimbursed for the season, and core small forward "Superman" Sean Elliott also announced his season reimbursement a month ago.
The Spurs on the field are a bunch of old, weak, sick and disabled, and the big boss turned out to be the 37-year-old "human movie essence" Dominic Wilkins.
Wilkins at his peak is of course strong, the top guard swingman, according to the small forward position, the strength is definitely not inferior to the melon Anthony of later generations, according to the quarterback, it is also the four quarterback level.
It's a pity that he is too old, and he is now like an outdated black and white movie.
Jalen Rose's debut against Kobe Bryant can be said to be a mess, and he rose up in this game, grabbed the old Wilkins with a hammer, and punched the Nanshan Nursing Home with the style.
After playing five minutes in the first quarter, Lin Yu replaced Big Ben and Webb with Davis and Howard.
Even so, Spurs were completely overwhelmed, and the point difference was getting bigger and bigger.
When it was more than half of the third quarter, Lin Yu and even the Michigan Five Tigers were all dispatched, which could be regarded as not embarrassing for the Spurs to lose.
Spurs fans were very face-saving, and the warm applause from the audience gave the Michigan Five full respect.
The second tiger, who got the opportunity to appear again, has increased his favorability towards Lin Yu again, Jamie King has increased to 75 points, and Ray Jackson has even reached 85 points, seeing that he is about to be full, so Lin Yu secretly called it really two easyboys.
