The Legend of the Hungry Wolf in Basketball

Chapter 385 [Three-party big deal, brothers on the Clippers! 】

Marc Gasol should also show sincerity, saying that the Grizzlies hope to renew him with the full middle class, and then sign Mike Conley back to the free market, or other guards to strengthen the perimeter.And Gasol is going to wait and see during the lockout period. His psychological price is about 800 million per year. The inside players in the league generally appreciate in value. His agent believes that as long as he waits, there are likely to be teams willing to offer him. High salary and long-term contract, but it is difficult to enter a strong team to play.

Ye Feng did not hesitate to propose 5 million for 3400 years, which was the full amount of the middle class in the previous labor-management agreement. In his previous life, the Magic renewed Gortat and the Lakers signed Artest.Gasol Jr. earns 500 million less, and the two brothers will have the chance to win the championship together. Gasol Jr. readily agreed, and he can accept this offer.If he gets more attention in the Clippers, the increase in commercial value is more than 500 million. As long as a company asks him to endorse him in advertising, he will make more money than staying with the Grizzlies.

After chatting for a while about the idea of ​​the team lineup, Ye Feng and the Gasol brothers ended the call and called Thibodeau.
When Thibodeau heard that only 3400 million was needed, he exclaimed: "Boss, I have to say, you are a genius. If Gortat and McGee are renewed next year, it will definitely be much more expensive than the introduction of the Gasol brothers. With the championship, playing may not be as hard as before, and I think the Gasol brothers' inside combination is stronger."

Ye Feng proudly said: "Of course. You and the Grizzlies should contact the Grizzlies as soon as possible. There are still a few days before the draft, and it must be finalized. Once the draft is delayed, the transaction will have to wait until the lockout is over. I don't want to see it." to any variable."

Thibodeau excitedly said: "Yes, boss."

Ye Feng is very flexible in his consideration of issues. It is not necessary to introduce famous players to find players, but he should try to introduce team players who are suitable for tactics.

In the international arena, the Spanish team is well-deserved No. [-] in the world. They can also compete with the US team and will not lose easily. In fact, they only lose in the depth of the bench.

What does Spain rely on to confront the star-studded US team?In addition to tactics, the Gasol brothers are the root of Spain's strength.And unlike Dwight Howard, the two brothers are very low-key, and it is impossible to grab the boss.With a championship, Howard may have some ideas.Paying the same price, getting two Gasols is definitely better than introducing one Howard!

Although the two parties have not signed an agreement yet, Ye Feng knows that there is a [-]% chance of success.Next, just trade McGee, Kidd, and the fifth pick out of the team. Since the Gasol brothers are coming, McGee must go.

The next day, Thibodeau contacted the Grizzlies general manager Chris Wallace. The two teams had traded many times and had almost become friendly brother teams. The conversation was very pleasant.

The Grizzlies also know that it is difficult to go further by retaining the original lineup. The idea of ​​introducing Conley is good, but they have to compete with many teams for offers, and the Grizzlies have no advantage.Gasol Jr. may not be willing to cut his salary. After the end of next season, there will be pressure to renew Griffin. The time of the Clippers' proposed transaction is just right.

Gasol was included in the trading list. The Grizzlies felt that this would transfer the pressure of contract renewal to the Clippers. Gasol played well last season, but who can guarantee that he will be able to guarantee his status next season?The Grizzlies are willing to trade. After negotiation, Gasol Jr. is counted as the full middle class.

Westbrook has a strong attack and unstable ball control. The Grizzlies need veterans to stabilize the situation and are willing to introduce Kidd. Kidd will be free of tens of millions of annual salary after his contract expires next year. Griffin can also avoid the luxury tax when he renews his contract.The difference between the two teams is that the Grizzlies don't want the Clippers' No. [-] pick, and they don't have much interest in McGee. If a team is full of spring players, it may not be a good thing. They want Gotta, who has a stable style of play. special.

The Clippers uniform team had a meeting again. Thibodeau also contacted Gortat to ask his thoughts. Gortat also wanted a high salary. There are many teams in the league that are eyeing him. Tate will also refuse. If he renews his contract with an annual salary of tens of millions, the Clippers will feel at a loss again. He is not the kind of pillar-level inside player who knows everything.But now the insiders in the league are too valuable. Compared with DeAndre Jordan, many teams will be willing to give Gortat a big contract to poach him. Instead of staying for a year and being poached, it is better to take advantage of the value. Trade out .His salary in the last year was 200 million, which is absolutely high salary and low ability, and it is not equal to the salary of the Grizzlies.

In the end, the Clippers decided to restart negotiations with the Cavaliers and pull the Cavaliers together for a three-way deal.The Cavaliers want to rebuild, and the goal is the No. 5 pick. In order for Irving to take the position, they have to send out a guard in the team, and they are willing to join in.

After three-party negotiation, the Clippers are willing to send Gortat, McGee, and Kidd, the fifth pick in the first round, and a special transaction of 500 million to get Marc Gasol, Paul Gasol, and the Cavaliers. 2012 first-round pick (protected), Grizzlies 2012 first-round pick (protected).

Although Ye Feng's future memory can no longer guarantee the selection of a super rookie next year, two draft picks are still necessary to ensure the integrity of next year's lineup. If Tony Allen, Wright and others are poached by other teams with high salaries, they will not Being passive, there are still newcomers who can take the top.

The Grizzlies got the Clippers' Jason Kidd, Marcin Gortat, Cavaliers' Mo Williams, and the Clippers' 500 million trade exception.In this way, they can also use special cases in the free market to continue to strengthen, and signed a mini-middle-class player who can do a lot next season.

In Ye Feng's view, the Grizzlies' change, although Mo Williams strengthened the depth of the bench, but the strength of the Gasol brothers' inside line also declined, and Gortat, Westbrook, and Griffin did not know the effect. How, it is no problem to enter the playoffs, but it is impossible to beat the Clippers.As long as you don't let your opponent beat you, the Clippers can accept it.

The Cavaliers traded away Mo Williams, next year's first-round pick, and got the Clippers' No. 5 pick this year, and JaVale McGee. Make the back line overcrowded.They are full of expectations for next season. They have McGee and Varejao on the inside, and Irving on the outside. The record should not be too bad, so they use the first-round pick as a bargaining chip.

The deal will be announced on the draft day. Both the Grizzlies and the Cavaliers feel that the Clippers are taking a risk. After the new collective bargaining agreement, the renewal salary of the players is likely to be reduced. It is very unwise to make a big deal before that.The contracts of Kidd and Williams that expire next season are very attractive, and the special case of the transaction is also very good, but the Clippers replaced the famous "soft guy" Paul Gasol and Marc Gasol who has not yet proved himself , confusing.

This is a happy transaction, and all three parties feel that they have made a profit, which is not often the case.

After the trade, the Clippers have slimmed down their lineup, with only 11 players left. They still need to find two players in the free market, or they can use a second-round pick to select a "water cooler manager".No one wants the Clippers' second-round pick to be traded as an extra, because it's too late. It's hard to find someone useful from the end of the second round. That kind of thing almost never happens.

The Clippers are going to wait until the lockout is over and the free market starts. The plan is to introduce two veterans who want to win the championship ring and have some strength. Like O'Neal, they can also provide some help to the team with their experience.When the lineup has enough 14 players, they can play in the regular season.The reason for finding 14 players is that the lockout has resulted in a dense schedule, and players are more likely to be injured in continuous battles. Finding two more players can ensure the rotation of the lineup. For some unimportant games, the main players can take a proper rest.

The lockout gave the Clippers enough time to consider reinforcement plans and find the most reasonable deal, which became a good thing.

6月23日，ESPN对2010-2011赛季进行总结，将NBA球星实力排名，前十名分别是：1叶锋、2勒布朗.詹姆斯、3德怀特.霍华德、4凯文.杜兰特、5德维恩.韦德、6德克.诺维斯基、7阿玛雷.斯塔德迈尔、8德隆.威廉姆斯、9、科比.布莱恩特、10卡梅隆.安东尼。

This is the result of combining the strength of the stars and the team's record. Although the Nets reached the Eastern Conference finals, they relied on their overall strength, and no one was selected in the top 10.

And Kobe was very dissatisfied with the 9th ranking, thinking that the ranking is too low, but Charles Joy, a columnist for Yahoo Sports, wrote frankly that it is fair to rank Kobe at 9th, because this strength list itself reflects the star's current status. status, not a lifetime achievement award.

One thing that needs to be clear is that ESPN ranks the list of combat power, not the list of career achievements. Take Duncan as an example. The status of Duncan is higher than that of Karl Malone. The reason is that Duncan won the championship more depends on the overall strength of the team, and he only played a role in boosting as a core player, but when it comes to personal performance, it is obvious that Malone is more dazzling , The same reasoning also applies to Kobe. Kobe's shooting percentage has been in crisis now, and with the increase of age, his defense is also a little weak. Today, it is difficult for Kobe to play the role of black mamba killer. He is in the league. The efficiency is even more than 20. The stars ranked before Kobe have higher efficiency. From a fair point of view, it is normal for Kobe to rank 9th.

Kobe hated Ye Feng even more for this.Why do you hate Ye Feng?Kobe couldn't tell the reason, he just felt that Ye Feng entered the league when Ye Feng entered the league, and Ye Feng was simply his evil star.

Tomorrow is the draft. When Kobe knew that the Gasol brothers were going to join the Clippers, he didn't know what his expression would be...
