Rebirth of Hayes Cyclone

Chapter 258 [Lynx Piston Trading Plan! 】

During the Olympics, news about the Pistons trade became the focus of American media attention.The Pistons are indeed ready to adjust their starting lineup that has remained unchanged for many years, but it is surprising that the first target of the knife is not Billups or Rasheed Wallace as everyone guessed It's not a soldier, but the most obedient Taishaun Prince.

Pistons general manager Dumars put Prince on the trading table early to listen to offers from interested teams.

Prince was put on the trading table, which really surprised many people.In the Pistons, Prince is the youngest player among the five starters, and his contract is relatively the cheapest, with an average annual salary of $1000 million. Layers have any conflicts.If the Pistons plan to rebuild, Prince shouldn't be the first to do the surgery.From the perspective of transaction value, there are not many players like Prince who can concentrate on defense and help the team stabilize on the offensive end.

However, Dumars' determination to break up the team is beyond doubt, especially with the strong support of owner Davidson.With new coach Michael Curry taking office, the Pistons will also enter a new era.

Compared with small forwards, the Pistons need inside players more.Rasheed Wallace is old, Muhammad is unusable, rookie McGee is too thin, and the inside line can't resist others.After leaving Ben Wallace and McDyess, the Pistons fell into a slump and were eliminated in the first round.They found that if they want to win, the inside defense cannot be lost, and the rebounds must be protected.

The Suns first expressed their interest in Prince, hoping to exchange Diaw and Prince.But Dumars has little interest in the French striker.

The Kings jumped out of the contract because of Artest, leaving only Salmons at the small forward position.They want to send Mike Bibby to the Pistons for Prince.The deal was also rejected by Dumars.In the 08-09 season, Bibby's salary reached 1582 million US dollars, averaging 14.1 points and 6.5 assists per game. When he came, he could only be a substitute for Billups, with high salary and low ability.

The bargaining chips given by the teams that actively asked for a trade were very poor, and the Pistons looked down on them.Two months after the end of the season, Dumars was restless and ready to take the initiative.

The purpose of the Pistons is to rebuild, and they also want to completely change the status quo of outside players playing the world.So Billups also entered the trading list.Rasheed Wallace has only one year left on his contract, which they can afford.And if they want to trade the current Wallace out of the team, no team is willing to change.

The Pistons first contacted the Rockets.

After an extremely miserable season, the Rockets fans collectively "reselling" the Rockets. The fans believed that Tracy McGrady forced Hayes and Yao Ming away last season and directly ruined the Rockets.McGrady is no longer for sale. After some discussions, the Pistons executives decided to trade Billups and Prince for McGrady of the Rockets.

Some people suggested that the Pistons could trade McGrady with Rasheed Wallace and Princes, but Wallace is too old and has a sluggish performance in the playoffs, so he has not much value.Billups is the top point guard in the league. The Rockets point guard has always been a short board. His arrival will activate the whole team, especially the Rockets selected Jerry Bayless in the draft. There is some conflict with McGrady's position with the rookie who is attacking the ball.Pistons executives believe that if Billups and Prince are used as chips, the Rockets should be tempted.

But the Pistons were wrong. The Rockets were still unwilling to trade McGrady. McGrady averaged nearly 30 points per game last season.This season, the Rockets Oden returned from injury, and the Rockets executives believe that the team may hit the championship.In addition, McGrady's contract in the 09-10 season is about to expire, and he must risk his life for the next contract, so Rockets manager Morey rejected the Pistons' proposal after discussing with owner Alexander.

The Pistons have set their sights on the Nuggets' Carmelo Anthony. The Pistons want a rebuilding core, but the Nuggets will not trade their star.

After that, the Pistons took a fancy to Allen Iverson of the Timberwolves, and the Timberwolves did not want to trade Iverson at this time. They must maintain the integrity of the lineup for next year's defending champions, and they will not take the road of disbanding after the Rockets win the championship.In addition, Iverson's contract expired in 2009. The Timberwolves can renew Iverson's contract at a low price, or choose not to renew the contract, vacating the salary to attract stronger players.There is no need to trade Iverson out of the team at this time.

Dumars asked around, and no team wanted to send an All-Star player to trade with the Pistons.Although Billups is good, he is too low-key, so low-key that people wonder how much he can play without the Pistons' offensive system.

Unable to change stars, the Pistons had no choice but to focus on cost-effective and trainable young players.

Dumars contacted Bobcats manager Rod Higgins.He knew that the only way to get the best player at the lowest price was to find the Bobcats.The number of Bobcats that can be signed has been saturated, and several unsigned players Marc Gasol and Rudy Fernandez are also good and performed well in the Olympics.Roy Hibbert is also a rookie with great potential.

Pistons initially proposed the program is to send Prince and Rasheed - Wallace, in exchange for the Bobcats Gasol, Fernandez, and small forward Gerald - Wallace.

Sometimes the business of the NBA is like buying clothes in the wholesale market, and the price is always very unreasonable.Dumas started with a tentative mentality.

Higgins said bluntly: "If you really want to trade, show some sincerity. I don't even need to consider the plan you proposed. We don't like you two at all! There is no place for free gifts. This It was a waste of my time!"

It is certain that Rasheed Wallace has no position.In the eyes of Bobcats executives, Prince is not as good as Gerald Wallace, and Prince's salary is higher than Gerald Wallace.

Dumars immediately exchanged chips for Billups Gaprins and next season's first-round pick, and the people who traded were replaced by Gerald Wallace, Felton, Gasol, and Fernandez.

It's a two-for-four deal.The Bobcats still seemed to be losing money, but Higgins was a little moved and had a meeting with others to discuss.Bobcats let go of Calderon, some weak point guard position.Felton has been unable to play the main position, and he is interested in leaving. The agent has also expressed the hope of trading Felton.As for the two Spaniards, the Bobcats executives are not optimistic at all, and it doesn't matter if they are sent out. The only one who is somewhat reluctant is Gerald Wallace.Prince was named to the All-Defensive Team last season and is also good at small forward.But if Wallace is sent away, there will be no old Bobcats players left.Wallace is certainly not willing to leave the Bobcats with championship quality for the Pistons who are starting to decline.

Bobcats hope to replace Wallace with someone else, such as Bargnani.But the Pistons are not interested in the No. [-] pick who was seriously injured last season. They insist that in addition to Hayes, the Bobcats only have Wallace worth trading.

Jordan called Hayes just to get his opinion.Even with Wallace gone, the Bobcats don't want Prince.There are also Durant and Miller at the small forward position.Rather than letting Prince with an annual salary of 1000 million, it is better to train Durant.And with the arrival of Prince, the Bobcats' total salary will exceed the limit of the luxury tax, and they need to pay the luxury tax. Who would want to do this for a player who doesn't need it?

Hayes was a little embarrassed after hearing Jordan's general situation.Gerald Wallace is a very brave small forward. He plays desperately and has a strong rebounding ability. It is a pity to give up.

But if Billups goes to the Bobcats, the Bobcats lineup will have no flaws.

According to the development trend of Hayes' previous life, this season, Iverson's various statistics will begin to weaken.Now that the Timberwolves don't want to change, it doesn't mean they won't want to in the future.After the start of the season, if the Timberwolves executives are dissatisfied with Iverson's state and exchange Iverson and role players for Billups and Prince, the Timberwolves' strength will be improved to a higher level.

If you don't change Billups, the Bobcats will give up an All-Star player and leave a chance for the main opponent to reinforce.

As for how to change, Hayes had to think about it. He decided to return to the United States immediately after finishing the family affairs.

After leaving the old school of Shandong University, Hayes went to the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China to apply for a bank card and passbook, and remitted 2000 million yuan to the card.In China, 2000 million RMB is enough for a family of ordinary people to eat and drink for several lifetimes.

Then Hayes was going to send the bank card and passbook to his parents.He thought of the simplest solution. Under the empty flower pot at the door of his house, there was a spare key, which only the family of three knew.He can go upstairs after his parents go to work in the afternoon, use the spare key to enter the room, and leave the card and passbook behind.You also need to leave a note with the password on it, saying that it is a rich man who Xuan Feng bravely saved in the past, and now he is back to repay his kindness, and the money is a thank you money.

Of course Hayes didn't save anyone, but he wasn't worried that Xuan Feng in this life would expose this lie.He knows himself well, and he won't be so idiot that he has money and doesn't want it!
It was almost noon to finish these things.Hayes then took a ride to a Muslim community near Quancheng Square in Jinan to eat open-air kebabs.This is his favorite food when he was in China. When he arrives in Jinan, he must have a big meal. It is difficult to eat in other places.

The grill is showing a replay of yesterday's U.S. vs. Spain final.The two young men chatted about the NBA while watching TV.

"Wang Qianmo, can you change the channel? Didn't you watch this yesterday?" said the man with the crew cut.

"Brother Ping, Hayes is too fierce. Will he average 40 points per game next season?" Wang Qianmo stared at the TV and said. (Hayes thinks this fan name is weird)
Brother Ping said with a smile: "Impossible. Hayes played well because the US team was too strong this year. His shots were all open or singles, and people from other countries in the Olympic Games were not physically fit. In the NBA, he could not Just get 30 points, but the Bobcats will have a stronger lineup next season, he will definitely pass the ball, and will not compete for the scoring champion.”

"Brother Ping, I think the black man behind you looks like Hayes. He's big enough..." Wang Qianmo whispered.

"I saw it just now, it's so similar. But how could Hayes come here to eat kebabs? Hahaha." Brother Ping laughed.

Both spoke Jinan dialect, but Hayes could understand it.He also turned his head away and smiled secretly.

"The Bobcats can only sign 15 people in the end, and I don't know who will stay. The lineup is too strong. They must still have to trade, right?" Wang Qianmo laughed.

"Should be. It would be great if Billups could be brought in. Watching the Olympics, he and Hayes are very suitable. As long as Hayes, Billups, and Ray Allen play a triangle offense, it is better than Kobe, Bryant, and Hayes. The effect of Paul is good. The main reason is that Billups doesn't grab the ball. The Bobcats can trade Felton and Wallace. Those two people can't shoot three-pointers. ...and I think Hayes is better at small forward," Ping said, looking like an expert.

"The salaries are not equal?" Wang Qianmo said.

"Three-party deal, let's see which team is interested in joining. Anyway, the Bobcats have a lot of people. It's okay to change the draft for the season. The Bobcats have been very successful in the draft in the past two years." Ping said.

Listening to the two chatting, Hayes suddenly figured it out.

After eating, Hayes counted the time and took a ride to the Taoyuan community where he lived. After walking around the garden for a while, Hayes watched his parents go out together from a distance, feeling a little sad.

Hayes hurried up to the third floor and successfully found the key.He opened the door carefully like a thief, put the bank card, passbook, and note in an envelope, and placed it on the ground at the door. He wanted his parents to think that someone had stuffed it through the crack of the door after seeing the envelope. of.

Just as he was about to close the door and leave, Hayes saw something and immediately froze.There is a large photo on the cabinet, which is actually his portrait!
