Rebirth of Hayes Cyclone

Chapter 79 [Progress of all parties]

Jordan and Hayes talked about basketball for more than an hour. Jordan gave Hayes a lot of suggestions on offense, the first step to test, how to make better use of fadeaway jumpers, and so on.

Hayes listened very seriously, but Jordan's experience actually didn't help him much.Due to his jumping and physical limitations, it is impossible for him to use the fadeaway jumper as his regular weapon, and he can only use it occasionally.When encountering a player with better physical fitness to defend, use a fadeaway jumper, and it is easy to be blocked.

Hayes also had some advice for Jordan.He believes that the Bobcats are not yet mature in their style of play. They should not rush to trade stars, but should find a good coach as soon as possible, determine a style of play that suits the team, and then choose the right players according to the style of play.

If Larry Brown is the coach, he should find some strong defensive players. While building an iron-blooded defense, he should also have a stable offensive point on the outside; , Others should also have outstanding athletic ability.

I don't know if Jordan listened to these words.He just kept saying good things and kept courting Hayes.Finally, Hayes did not give a clear answer.

Hayes wants to stay with the Rockets.

This season, the Rockets already have the ability to win the championship. He has a tacit understanding with his teammates here, and he has a close relationship with coach Jeff Van Gundy. He cannot give up the Rockets for money.

Building the core of a team is indeed a good temptation, but is it better to be the core of a bad team than to hit the championship?

In Hayes' previous life, Garnett was the core of the Timberwolves for many years, and he played amazing statistics.However, for the sake of the championship, Garnett gave up his privileges, went to the East, and joined the Celtics to form the Big Three.In the Celtics, Garnett reduced the number of shots and rebounds to 9.2.Experts agree that Garnett was the best this year, because the Celtics successfully won the championship.

Some people say that character determines a person's life.

Hayes doesn't value money very much. If he had to choose between the maximum salary and the championship, he would rather take less salary and get a few more championship rings.There are countless stars who have received high salaries, but what people remember are often those who won the championship.This is why many people think that Robert Horry, a role player with average skills and quality, is very successful, because Horry is so lucky that he wins championships wherever he goes.

Compared to Chamberlain, the data superman, Hayes hopes to become the Lord of the Rings like Russell.

At dinner, Hayes found Jeff Van Gundy in the hotel restaurant.

Jeff Van Gundy smiled when he saw him.Hayes guessed that there might be something good going on.

"You can really play ah, shopping in Portland for a day?" Jeff - Van Gundy laughed.

"No, I came back in the afternoon, and I met someone you definitely can't think of." Hayes sat down opposite Van Gundy and said.

"Who?"

"Michael Jordan. He wanted to dig me to the Bobcats and said he wanted to build a team around me. This is really a tempting suggestion." Hayes said straight.There is no impenetrable wall. He thinks it is better to tell Van Gundy directly, so as not to spread it from Jordan in the future, causing doubts and affecting the unity of the team.

"The Lynx team is too young and has no future. Even if you really want to transfer after this season, I suggest you go to a team that can only win the championship, such as the Heat and Cavaliers. If you get together with Wade or James Together, it must be scary." Jeff Van Gundy smiled indifferently.

"Why don't you talk about the Mavericks and the Spurs, it's easier to win the championship?" Hayes was a little puzzled.

"In case you really can't stay in the Rockets in the future, don't stay in the West. The West is strong and the East is weak. It is easier to go to the East to enter the finals." Jeff Van Gundy said.

"Why do I feel that you are encouraging me to quit?"

They chatted without taking into account that the core players of their own team were poached, and the head coach who was not in a hurry, I am afraid that Jeff Van Gundy was the only one in the league.He knew Hayes didn't want to leave, and if Hayes really wanted to leave, he wouldn't bother recommending players.

Hayes smiled: "Is there any progress in the deal with other teams?"

"I haven't said the progress. David Lee is coming. When playing the Clippers, he can play." Jeff Van Gundy said.

"Nothing else? Why are you so happy, I see?" Hayes asked.

"Wells went to the Knicks to report. Can I be unhappy?" Jeff Van Gundy asked rhetorically.

"Uh... How about the Raptors?" Hayes rubbed his face and asked.

"On the Raptors side, CD (Dawson) proposed exchanging Bob (Sura) and John (Lucas III) for Calderon and the 41st pick in the second round. The Raptors did not agree." Jeff -Van Gundy said lightly.

Hayes was sweating.Bob Sura was too old, injured for so long, couldn't play at all.John Lucas III couldn't play in the Rockets. It's strange that such a deal can be successful.No matter how idiot the Raptors are, they wouldn't agree to such a deal with no benefits, would they?

"Did the Raptors say they wanted someone? Why did they agree?" Hayes asked immediately. He cared about this deal very much. After Calderon played the data, he would not be able to exchange it if he wanted to.

"They want Corunna (Azubuike) and Novak. What are you kidding, we use two main reserves, go to a backup point guard and a second-round pick and cash, we lose money, right?" Jeff Van Gundy said gloomily.It just feels like a steal.

Hayes weighed it up and found it a little troublesome.It's okay to replace Azubuike with Hyde. Anyway, Hyde and Novak are defenseless, and they will never be able to practice defense.

Hayes was a little depressed.The younger brother Azubuike's data is not showing, and the Raptors have also discovered his potential.Do you want to let go?If you don't let go, Calderon can't come, but he is a high-efficiency player.This problem is really a headache.What should I do?
"Jeff, although I'm sorry for Luther (Hyde) for saying this, I think he can be used as a bargaining chip to discuss with the Raptors. Both Luther and Novak have obvious weaknesses and have no defense. In terms of offense, Jamalio (Moon) and Van (Weaver) are not inferior to them, their physical fitness is much better, and they have potential. It is best not to change Corunner, he has great potential to be tapped."

"Let me propose again. CD (Dawson) seems to have no intention of making this deal, and he feels he is at a disadvantage." Jeff Van Gundy sighed and said.

"What about the Jazz? How about Millsap and Fisher?" Hayes asked.

This is the most critical transaction, which can not only strengthen oneself, but also reduce the inside level of the Jazz.The veteran Fisher has always been the main player in the Lakers. Although he is not strong in assists, he has valuable playoff experience and is good at handling the ball at critical moments.

"We made a deal with Juwan (Howard) and Luther (Hyde) for Millsap and Derek Fisher, and they didn't want to, saying unless Luthor was replaced with Love (Alston) We got a shitty contract and they're willing to make up the difference in cash."

"I think, even if it is to send Raff out, this deal is worth it." Hayes said.

"Do you still think it's worth it? They used two absolute substitutes plus a rubbish contract to replace our two main players last season. Isn't it a bit too dark?" Jeff Van Gundy said with a frown.

Hayes sighed, it seems that this transaction is not easy to succeed. "Jeff. I bet, as long as the transaction is successful, we must make a profit. CD's proposal this time is good. It's a pity that Jazz doesn't like Luther (Hyde)." Hayes thought for a while and analyzed: "Sir The team is not stupid, they want Juwan (Howard) to be Boozer's backup and Love to be Deron Williams' backup, so that the two main stars can get some rest time and can guarantee the offensive power. Change it, Millsap has potential, and Fisher is the guy we need. Who is that crap contract?"

"That person is Rafael Araujo, an absolute rubbish contract, with a salary of more than 200 million, and a height of 211 cm for nothing. He does not work for his salary. As for whether the transaction can be completed, it is not up to me, see What does CD (Dawson) think? I think it’s a loss.” Jeff Van Gundy said with a frown, he was still a little bit reluctant to replace Alston and Howard.

"Juwan's contract is rubbish too. He's a middle-class guy with two years left. David Lee is here, and I bet he's going to be the third substitute soon. It's going to be troublesome, and CD probably sees this. , I just wanted to trade him out." Hayes shook his head and said, "Millsap is very tough, here he is, I guarantee you won't regret it."

Juwan Howard has not played a few games this season, and his competitive state is not bad, averaging more than 10 points per game.Due to Boozer's brave state, Millsap had few opportunities to play. Sloan has not yet realized Millsap's offensive potential, and only used him as a blue-collar player.This deal is beneficial to the Jazz in the short term. They replaced two substitutes and got rid of a bad contract.But in the long run, the Jazz are losing out.

No matter how bad Rafael Arauyo's contract is, it will expire after the end of this season. Can it be worse than Howard?Millsap is now a blue-collar player, and his future offensive power will not be comparable to Juwan Howard's.Hayes will try his best to persuade Van Gundy to make another proposal and make the deal a success.

As long as Fisher comes, it doesn't matter whether Calderon comes this season.As long as Hayes knows the historical development, after the end of this season, TJ-Ford can play almost all-star data, the Raptors will definitely consider trading Calderon, and it will not be too late to replace players at that time.

Jeff Van Gundy heard what Hayes said clearly, and the lineup is also very reasonable.After thinking about it for a while, I changed my mind.Millsap has an age advantage, and his development potential is not comparable to that of Juwan Howard. The Rockets also need a veteran like Fisher.In his view, this transaction can be regarded as a win-win situation.Most importantly, trading two guys whose contracts expire this season is good for signing Hayes.

"Let me suggest to CD again that if a deal is to be reached, it is estimated to be very soon. In this way, Juwan (Howard) and Ruff (Alstom) will be poor. Our prospects are so good, they must not want to leave. "Jeff Van Gundy sighed: "This suggestion is made by you, and I will do the bad guy."

Hayes smiled and said nothing.This is the NBA. In order to strengthen, someone has to come and someone has to leave.
