Beast remembers that Daluo was traded to the Lakers in the previous life, in exchange for Mozgov and Russell. He doesn't know if the other party is still interested in this deal.

But he is not so satisfied with this deal, because Mozgov is indeed in the Lakers now, and the fatuous Lakers management gave him a four-year $4 million contract.And there are 6400 years left on this big contract, which is obviously a garbage contract.

Although Daluo's contract of more than 2000 million US dollars next season is not cheap, it is already the last year of his contract.As an expiring contract, whether it is used by oneself or traded out as a bargaining chip for future space, it is valuable.Not to mention that he still has good immediate combat power.

The current problem for the Nets is not that they don't want to use Daluo, nor do they really want to get rid of him.Since they got the Beast, there's no way they'll be spending too much money at center.

Daluo will exceed 2000 million next season, Beast will be close to 3000 million, and the two will add up to almost 5000 million, which is close to half of the salary cap, which is too scary.

This is not the scariest thing, because even so, the Nets are unlikely to exceed the salary cap next season, and will not be required to pay the luxury tax.

The main thing is that Daluo will face the issue of contract renewal.

Daluo has played for the Nets for many years and is an All-Star center. He is currently 29 years old and will definitely seek a five-year fully guaranteed maximum salary.

But the Nets have already signed the beast with a maximum salary, and it is impossible to give another center a big contract with a maximum salary, otherwise it will only lock the future of the team.

The current trend in the league is to invest money in guards and wings. It is enough for them to have the league's number one center at the center position. Daluo is the poor man's version of the beast, and the two obviously have duplicate functions.

Of course, the beast can play the 4th position, but it is impossible for Daluo to accept the renewal of the small contract.So unless you accept that Daluo will leave directly after the contract expires, otherwise, trading him will become very natural.

The Beast is actually still in Cleveland during this time, but the Nets general manager Max will communicate with him about the trading market in various ways.

The Beast took care of the players the Nets currently have under contract, as well as some future assets such as draft picks.He suddenly found that the explosive head Jarrett Allen was already in the formation, and to his surprise, Kuzma, as this year's rookie, was also in the formation.

Isn't Kuzma a rookie for the Lakers?Beast was a little confused, but he quickly remembered that in his previous life, Kuzma was selected by the Nets as an addition to Daluo's trade with Cassel, and then traded to the Lakers.

The Beast needs to sort out his thoughts. He started with the Nets from the 2013 Garnett-Pierce deal, and sorted out the team's situation over the years.

The situation at the time was like this: On June 2013, 6, the Nets and the Celtics reached a blockbuster deal. The Celtics sent Kevin Garnett, Paul Pierce, Jason Terry, DJ. White and the 28 second-round pick, from the Nets to get Gerald Wallace, Chris Humphries, Marshan Brooks, Chris Joseph, Keith Bogans, and 2017, 2014, The 2016 first-round draft pick, and also has the right to swap the 2018 first-round draft pick.

After the deal was completed, the Nets formed the Big Five of Deron Williams, Lopez, Paul Pierce, Kevin Garnett and Joe Johnson.

The background of this transaction is that in 2010, Prokhorov, the richest man in Russia, acquired 80% of the shares of the New Jersey Nets. In this way, the Nets with the worst record in the NBA in the 2009-10 season have the richest owner in the NBA.And he made three promises after the completion of the acquisition, the first to move the Nets from New Jersey to Brooklyn, the second to use the big market in New York to attract superstars to join, and the third to let the Nets win the championship within a few years.

In the summer of 2010, at the most critical moment of James' decision, Prokhorov, the richest man in Russia, was busy running for the Russian president and failed to recruit James to the Nets. For him, he lost the best chance to get the cornerstone of the dynasty.

It is worth mentioning that Prokhorov also failed in the presidential election, which also made him very unwilling, and promised that the promises made would be realized.So in the offseason of 2012, there was a blockbuster trade that was rarely seen in NBA history in which the future was exchanged for the present but failed extremely.

As a result of this deal, the Nets of the Big Five changed coaches several times in the 2012-13 season, ranked 4th in the Eastern Conference during the regular season, and were eliminated by the fifth Bulls 4:3 in the first round of the playoffs.

2013-14赛季篮网引来前篮网巨星贾森·基德当主教练,当季排名东部第6。而在季后赛首轮爆冷击败猛龙后,次轮被热火4:1淘汰。

In 2014, Paul Pierce and Garnett left the Nets, and the Nets' big deal has been declared a complete failure.

Before this big deal, the general manager of the Nets, Billy King, may not have thought that their aircraft carrier would fail so quickly. He thought that these unprotected first-round picks would be relatively late, but he did not expect that because of the poor record , Now it has become a favorite, people rely on this to achieve reconstruction, and accumulate a large number of young talented men.

The Beast remembers that the Nets had a good record in the 2013-14 season and entered the playoffs, so their pick position in 2014 should not be too high.

But in the 2015-16 season, the Nets were second to last in the East, while the Celtics were fifth in the East, so in the end the Celtics selected Jaylen Brown with the No. 2 pick, so this pick should come from the Nets.

Not to mention this year, because the Nets have the last record in the league this season and won the No. [-] lottery, but because of the swap of draft picks, they can only watch the No. [-] pick being taken away by the Celtics.

The Celtics traded with the 76ers with the No. [-] pick, got the No. [-] pick, and selected Jason Tatum.

The beast lamented, it turned out that the Celtics' powerful double picks in the previous life all came from the Nets... The most terrible thing is that the Nets' first-round pick for next season is still in the hands of the Celtics...

"Billy King, Billy King, look at what you've done, you've emptied the future, what kind of operation is this!" the beast couldn't help complaining.

If you empty out the future studs, if you can exchange for the 26-year-old James, or the next-generation superstar, it is reasonable to exchange for Pierce and Garnett in their twilight years, that is really a very stupid operation.

This stupid operation of the Nets should have become a negative teaching material for the stud superstars of other NBA teams. It is extremely risky to bet on the old superstar's fuel tank.

Fortunately, the Nets stopped the loss in time, replaced the stupid Billy King, and appointed Sean Marx, a Spurs product and must-be boutique, as the team's new general manager to re-plan the team.
