Chapter 86 Four consecutive transactions, the lineup is formed
The day after the end of the draft, it can actually be called a trade conference, because many trades are officially announced on this day.
Lin Yu followed Unseld for several games throughout the day, holding a joint press conference with other teams to officially announce their deals.
The first is a trade with the Trail Blazers, with the Washington Wizards sending Tim Legler to Jermaine O'Neal, who is not yet 19 years old from the Portland Trail Blazers.
The Washington Wizards reached the Eastern Conference finals last season, and it stands to reason that they should continue to improve their ability to hit the Finals this season.
What the hell is this deal for them? Take out the team's important instant power and trade a 19-year-old? Putting aside Xiao Ao's potential, what is his potential, will he really be able to come in handy next season?
An hour later, the Washington Wizards made another trade with the Suns, with the Wizards sending Tracy Murray plus a '98 second-round pick to get Nash and a '98 first-round pick from the Suns.
Lin Yu was stunned, his previous psychological expectation was that Murray could be traded for Nash and a second-round pick, but he didn't expect Unseld to change the content of the deal.
It's a wonderful change, it's wonderful.
The Suns agreed to this trade plan, and eighty percent were also betting that the Wizards would collapse next season, after all, Mashburn and the Speeders had already reported that they were leaving, and an hour ago, the Wizards traded a 19-year-old with the important power of the bench.
If the Wizards' record collapses in the new season, then their second-round pick value is not low.
The top-ranked second-round picks are sometimes even more valuable than the bottom-ranked first-round picks, because the first-round picks are to sign players with at least two years of guaranteed contracts, while the second-round picks are not needed, and if the rookies do not perform well, the team will cut them directly, and the loss is not so big.
Suns general manager Danny Ainge is very cunning, he is a team executive who has really cheated all over the league, and this operation with the Wizards must be bloody in his opinion.
He is confident that he will lead the Suns to a great record next season, so his first-round pick will not be worth much.
In fact, his self-confidence is not unfounded, because Lin Yu remembers that the Suns will finish fourth in the West next season, probably a first-round 24th pick.
This pick is not high, but it is worth a lot in the hands of Lin Yu, he can at least choose one of Al Harrington or Blade fighter Rashad Lewis, both of whom are dual-power forwards, and they can play in the third and fourth positions.
When the press conference with the Suns ended, the Wizards held a joint press conference with the Nets non-stop.
The Nets traded for the Knicks just two hours ago, trading Childs over.
Two hours later, Childes didn't even know he was traded to the Nets by the Knicks, and he was traded again.
The Nets sent Maddie plus Childes to Antonio Davis from the Wizards.
Immediately after that, the Wizards traded with the Kings and acquired Stephen Jackson.
The Wizards' four consecutive trades were stunned, and they really didn't understand Unseld's brain circuit.
That's right, everyone still thinks that all three deals were Unseld's idea.
Three of the four trades were to take out the team's important immediate power to trade some raw melon lists, what use can the 19-year-old inside line do? Nash, who was just in the second grade, didn't look very useful.
As the saying goes, five years for a center and ten years for a point guard, players in these two positions need a lot of time to develop, unless it's the kind of guy who is really talented, and obviously Ao and Nash are not.
What's even more outrageous is that the Wizards traded Davis and replaced him with a high school guard swingman Maddy, which made Wizards fans cry outrageous!
In this way, more than half of the core players of the Wizards' lineup who reached the Eastern Conference finals left directly, and some Wizards fans were already so angry that they scolded their mothers and called Unseld confused.
After the four deals were completed, Lin Yu followed Unselde back to Washington.
On the plane back, Lin Yu asked again about the progress of Kobe's trade, but Unseld still shook his head, and Jerry West didn't even want to answer his phone.
"Keep up the patience and wait, anyway, it's still a long time before the start of the new season."
"If we can't trade Kobe Bryant at that time, then we'll trade Richmond."
Of course, Lin Yu still wants Kobe Bryant more, because Kobe Bryant has growth, and Richmond's strength has been declining year after year, and it is estimated that he can only be used for two years, and his combat power is not as good as Jalen Rose.
The draft is over, the trade is complete, and Washington's roster for the new season is almost formed.
Centre positions: Ben Wallace and Battle.
Power forward positions: Chris Webb and Jermaine O'Neal.
Small forward positions: Tracy McGrady and Stephen Jackson.
Quarterback position: Kobe Bryant or Richmond, and then add Jalen Rose.
Point guard position: Steve Nash plus Sam Cassel.
And then there are some players in the corners, like Irving Sr., Ray Jackson, Jamie King, Jaren Jackson, Nixon.
It's still fifteen people, and the list is full.
Just looking at this lineup, Lin Yu felt a sense of pride in his heart, what kind of genius could form such an anti-heaven lineup.
In the starting lineup, the center is the top five blue-collar interior ceiling in NBA history, the power forward is the most gorgeous power forward in NBA history, and some fans even rank Webb as the fifth largest forward in history after Duncan, Garnett, Nowitzki and Malone.
The third position is Maddie, one of the top swingmen in NBA history, just talking about the position of the swingman at the front, Maddie also has the top three levels, and the only one who can be stronger than him in the real sense is the air glider Clyde Drexler, after all, the glider has a championship, and Maddie is a grade worse in this regard.
The quarterback is Kobe Bryant, the undisputed second quarterback in NBA history, with extremely explosive scoring and extremely strong key defense, a typical superstar with excellent offense and defense.
Point guard Nash, the regular season MVP for the second time in a row, this achievement alone has put him in the point guard position, at least in the top five all-time.
This is very rebellious, and the players in all positions of the Wizards are all in the top five all-time in the same position.
Of course, these people have not yet entered their peak, so Lin Yu can't say what kind of level they can play.
The starting lineup is so rebellious, and if the bench lineup is actually taken out alone, Lin Yu feels stronger than more than half of the teams in the NBA.
O Jr. was also a ruthless player who was selected for the best second team, and he squeezed Nowitzki from his peak in '04 to the best third team.
On the offensive end, he has a signature trick, a back-and-back step-back jumper, which is actually Ewing's rabbit jump, but Xiao Ao's posture is a little more handsome, not as ugly as Ewing's posture.
The defensive end is very strong, and the defensive efficiency value can reach 93 points in the peak season, which is no different from the peak Garnett.
The rebounds are really not very powerful, but they also have an average of 10 rebounds per game in three seasons, which cannot be said to be too bad, but it can only be said that they are not strong enough.
Needless to say, Martial Saint Jackson, a member of the Black Eight Miracle of the Warriors of later generations, was born with a big heart and fearless, and was also a participant in the Auburn Hills Palace incident, and was banned together with Xiao Ao and Artest, fighting fiercely, stressing morality, and averaging 20 points, 5 rebounds and 5 assists per game, which can be regarded as good both offensive and defensive.
It is worth mentioning that Big Ben is also a participant in the Auburn Hills Palace incident, Lin Yule thought hehehe, if he can take down Artest, then the four King Kongs of Auburn Mountain will be collected, I don't know if he can get a new resident aura.
Jalen Rose and Cassel are not first-line stars, but among the players in the same position at the same time, they are definitely the best, at least in the top ten.
The point is that both of them are on the bench, which team can find two players of this caliber on the bench.
The only one on the bench who is not very high-grade is the bus, but Lin Yu is very confident in the bus, according to his own training route, the bus becomes a player of Campbell's type, which is not a problem at all.
In fact, many young players are not lacking in potential, but they have not met a coach who knows how to make good use of them, if they meet a coach who is responsible and patient, and formulate the most suitable training route for them, even if they can't become stars, at least it is not a problem to become a qualified substitute.
Of course, Lin Yu has to be responsible for the bus, and it is impossible to be impatient, this is his compatriot, and he will also be the first yellow person in NBA history to set foot on the main game court, Lin Yu even if it is just to slap the face of the Heat fans, he has to support the bus.
Even he has already thought of a plan to train the bus, not letting the bus play too many games for the time being, just waiting for the super powerful aura skill to be randomized, and then let the bus start the field to brush up the data, so as to build the confidence and oppression of the bus.
The stats are good, the confidence is there, and with his strong body, it is not difficult to gain a foothold in the NBA.
……
In the next summer league, Lin Yu is the coach, of course it is impossible to lead the team to play this kind of game, he asked Lao Qiao to lead the team's Xiao Ao, Maddie and a few fringe players to play the summer league.
After the end of the summer league, Lin Yu rested for another month, and the teams in the league have gradually begun to gather players for training and prepare for the new season.
The Wizards, of course, are no exception.
On Sept. 15, all members of the Bullets' roster for the new season gathered at the training ground.
Because the trade of Kobe Bryant or Richmond has not been successful yet, Uncle Huo is still in the team.
In addition to Second Uncle Huo, Childs, who Lin Yu wanted to see the most, was also there.
"Smack!"
Lin Yu clapped his hands and walked towards Childs, his face full of sinister smiles.
Childes was about to be scared to pee, crying with a sad face, he never dreamed that Lin Yu would really trade himself to Washington.
Previously, in the Eastern Conference semifinals, he maliciously fouled the speeding car, resulting in an injury to the speeding car and missing the subsequent playoffs.
At that time, Childs was a little panicked, but Ewing said that he wanted to protect him, and he forgot about it.
However, after the draft, when he learned that he was traded to Washington, he was scared, he was also a young player, and he was able to gain a firm foothold in the league as a draft pick, which was definitely a virtue on his ancestors, he felt that he had a great future, and now that Lin Yu was caught, he realized that he might be finished.
He immediately approached Ewing and wanted Ewing to help him stop the deal.
Ewing did the same, and went to negotiate with Knicks general manager Ernnie Grenfield, only to have no idea what Ewing was billing.
Grunfield is also a Oilman, he should be the most successful Oilman player in his career, he is the pride of Oilman, his parents are Holocaust survivors, so his identity is extraordinarily correct, and after retiring, he entered the Knicks management and gradually became the helm of the team.
In the NBA, where the owners and executives of the oil people are huddled, he is very popular as this position, and later after Unseld left the position of general manager of the Wizards in 2003, he took over the position of general manager of the Wizards.
Grunfield is not afraid of Ewing's forcing the palace at all, and even he hopes that Ewing will do something stupid, and then find a way to dispose of it himself, after all, after Ewing's injury, his combat power has declined very much, and his contract is very large, and the cost performance is very low.
Ewing didn't know his situation, a few years ago he was the pride of the Big Apple, when Nelson Sr. was also in the Knicks, and wanted to trade Ewing for Fat, the Magic almost agreed, but the Knicks fans disagreed and kicked Nelson Sr. out of the Big Apple.
It's only been a few years, and Knicks fans have repented of their bowels, if they traded Ewing to Fat at that time, what would the Knicks be like now? It's impossible to have your head shaved by the Bullets, right?
Ewing saw that Grenfield didn't buy his account at all, so he simply didn't insist, so as not to tear his face with the team, and he definitely didn't end well.
Poor Childes was sold like this, and Ewing never answered his calls at all.
"Dude, welcome to Washington!"
"You should know what's waiting for you, right?"
Lin Yu stepped forward and patted Childs on the shoulder and smiled, and the laughter made Childs get goosebumps on his back.
"Coach, I'm really sorry for what happened, now Rhodes has joined the Knicks and got a super big contract with the Knicks."
"I'll call my Knicks brother to take good care of Rod, he's certainly not going to be bullied in New York."
Childes thought he was smart, he felt that since the Speeders had already left Washington, and he was still joining the Knicks, the past could be written off.
Lin Yu has seen a statistic before, saying that the average IQ of NBA players is 83, the average IQ of East Asians is 105, and the definition of mental retardation is an IQ below 70.
Lin Yu originally thought that the IQ of NBA players could not be so low, but after hearing Childes's words, he believed it.
What's wrong with this, you still dare to say such a slightly threatening language?
"What about you and I swapping hostages on the battlefield? How? If Washington doesn't take care of you, are you going to let your Knicks brothers bully Rhodes? ”
"Can you grow your brains? Do you really think that the Knicks spent 50 million dollars to ask a gas bag to go back? Rhodes go to your Knicks is the core, do you dare to give Rod a face? ”
Lin Yu sneered.
Flying Car is 30 years old this year, and this contract will last until he is 35 years old, and it is almost time to retire.
So the Flying Car went to the Knicks, and it was impossible to suffer a little grievance, and Grunfield would help the Flying Car clean up all the factors that made him unhappy.
"Go ahead, run a hundred laps around the training ground first, don't think about resisting my orders, I have the right to DNP you."
"Don't show any dissatisfaction and dissatisfaction, it will only make your life harder."
Lin Yu's smile is like Satan's smile in Childs's eyes, he wants to die now, the hard days are definitely still ahead, he doesn't know if he can get through it.
DNP is also a ban within the team, and the team can also not pay salaries, Childs doesn't have much salary, if he can't get the money, he really has to sleep in the bridge hole.
