Reborn NBA Gao Fushuai

Field was convinced by Vujacic, as Vujacic said, trading Pietrus and Biedrins, no matter from that perspective, the Washington Wizards will not suffer.

Then there's the price to pay.

Field is a cautious person. He doesn't like to take risks. The Washington Wizards' record is very good now. They have won four consecutive games. He doesn't want to destroy the team's overall framework and affect the results.

According to Vujacic's suggestion, the Wizards really need to clean up the interior now, especially the center position. Once Biedrins is introduced, the Wizards will have five players at the center position. It's too much.

Veterans Kevin Willis and Michael Ruffin were listed as available for trade by Field.

This is not because Field is self-righteous, let alone because the Golden State Warriors themselves are garbage disposal centers.

It is that one of the contracts of these two players is not guaranteed, and the other expires next summer. At that time, the Golden State Warriors can be used to clear the salary space. I believe this temptation is still very attractive to the Golden State Warriors.

But if there are only these two people, the match cannot be completed. After hesitating for a while, Field added the name of Samaki Walker.

Although Samaki Walker is Jamison's first substitute, in recent games, Eddie Jordan has obviously paid more attention to Jeffries, who has suddenly developed a three-point ability.

And the relationship between Jeffries and Vujacic seems to be very good.

Although Field values ​​Walker's defense very much, if there is a choice between Walker and Jeffries, it is obvious that Walker can only be sacrificed.

After confirming the trading plan, Field immediately sent it to the Golden State Warriors.

The Warriors also felt a little surprised when they received the trade application from the Washington Wizards, especially when they saw the two people they wanted, Pietrus and Biedrins.

The team manager of the Golden State Warriors doesn't have the rights that Field had in the Washington Wizards. Here, Montgomery has the final say.

Montgomery doesn't like Pietrus. Everyone in the Golden State Warriors knows this. He likes a player like Richardson who can hold the ball and go straight to the basket. Otherwise, he should be a player like Dunleavy Jr. A well-known player with a smart mind, and Pietrus' ability to attack with the ball is really bad, and because he often fights hand-to-hand with opponents in high positions, he feels like a muscle without a brain.

As for Biedrins, Montgomery never paid attention to him. In Montgomery's view, Biedrins was too thin. He even doubted whether such a big bamboo pole could gain a foothold in the NBA's muscular jungle.

At the beginning, the uniform team of the Golden State Warriors used the No.11 pick in the first round to select this big bamboo pole. The group corrected the mistake.

Of course, Montgomery was dissatisfied with Pietrus and Biedrins, and he was even more dissatisfied with the trade plan proposed by the Washington Wizards. One NBA living fossil, two blue-collar workers, he really doubted the Washington Wizards' plan. sincerity.

But after a closer look, Montgomery found the problem. Willis's contract is not guaranteed. The contracts of Ruffin and Walker expire next summer. That is to say, by next year, the Warriors can clear up a lot of salary space. , Then go to the free agent market to catch big fish.

Thinking of this, Montgomery's heart moved!

Get rid of a Pietrus that I don't like, and give a rookie with a big bamboo pole in exchange for next year's team salary space. This deal is also quite a bargain.

Moreover, Montgomery is not satisfied with the team's current inside line, Fowler is too soft, Dale Davis and the old guy Robinson are both injured, so in a short time, there is no hope at all.

Although Willis is old, he has rich experience, and the statistics of last season were not bad, so it is worth looking forward to.

Immediately, Montgomery nodded and agreed to the transaction. The two teams immediately sent the reporting materials to the league's top management for review. As long as the review is passed, the transaction will be considered complete. Only the physical examination later, there should be no major problems.

It's just a small person's transaction, and the league's top management will not set up obstacles at all. In the NBA, such transactions happen almost every week, and they are completely worthless.

Pietrus and Biedrins were at practice when they were notified of the trade, and the Warriors had another game tonight, at home against the San Antonio Spurs.

As a result, halfway through the training, the team's general manager arrived and announced the deal with the Washington Wizards directly in front of all the players.

Pietrus was stunned for a while holding the basketball, and then said to Richardson next to him: "Sorry! Dude, I can only accompany you here. Now I am going to Washington. Washington to report!"

Richardson was also shocked by this sudden decision. After a while, he didn't react until Pietrus had left: "Shit!"

Richardson and Pietrus have a very good relationship. In Richardson's view, Pietrus is his good partner and can always help him block some threats, but now his good partner has been traded , the most annoying thing is that he, the boss of the team, doesn't know anything.

Compared with Pietrus, Biedrins's psychological endurance is much worse. His only feeling at the moment is that he has been abandoned by the team. He is only a teenager and has not been able to get used to the NBA. a business atmosphere.

The veteran Robinson, who had just resumed training, came over and patted Biedrins on the shoulder: "Look at Andres, this is the NBA, a shit game for the rich, and we are all their tools."

Biedrins doesn't understand why they are all tools in the rich man's shit game, even though he didn't get many opportunities in Golden State, and he can also feel that the team's head coach Montgomery doesn't like him. But he still has feelings for this team and doesn't want to leave, but the reality is that this team doesn't need him.

Biedrins couldn't understand why the team gave him such a high evaluation in the pre-draft trial training when he was not needed, and finally chose him.

"Andres! How long are you going to wait!"

Biedrins looked up and saw Pietrus calling him, and ran over quickly, he didn't want to stay here anymore, every second here made him feel uncomfortable, because he no longer belonged here.

In the locker room, Pietrus, who had just joked with Richardson in a very relaxed tone, was cursing while packing his things.

"Damn! Bastard! Clown!"

Facts have proved that Pietrus is not as relaxed as he appears. In fact, he has long known that he will be traded sooner or later.

For most of last season, he was the main force of the team, but the situation changed completely at the beginning of this season. Montgomery used Dunleavy Jr. to replace him, and he became the sixth man of the team, and As the team's performance worsened and his playing time became less and less, Montgomery also criticized him for not being active enough in the game several times in interviews with reporters.

"Andres! Can you feel it? I'm fucking that clown's scapegoat!"

Biedrins froze, he didn't know how to answer.

Unlike Pietrus and Biedrins who were emotional because of being traded, the same thing happened to the Washington Wizards, and everything seemed very calm.

transaction!

Old Jianghu like Willis has long been used to it. He has played for 19 teams in his 7-year career, including the Golden State Warriors who are about to be traded. He has also played for him before. Regarding this, He wasn't surprised.

Especially in the 2002/2003 season, after the San Antonio Spurs won the championship ring, he had no desires. lucky.

As for Michael Ruffin and Samaki Walker, they are even more open-minded. They are small figures in the league. Frequent team changes are their fate. In fact, playing for any team is not good for them. There is no problem for them, all they want is this job.

Field called them on the day the deal was completed. The three of them seemed to have made an appointment. During the team training the next day, they came to the training hall to say goodbye to their teammates.

When seeing the three people, Vujacic was a little embarrassed. Although he was not the one who finally decided to trade chips, but if he hadn't suggested the deal, the three of them would not have to leave.

Willis seemed to see something, and deliberately walked in front of Vujacic: "Hey! Sasha! It's a pity that I can't finish this season with you, but it's okay. Although I'm leaving, I still hope you Can be successful in Washington D.C.!"

Vujacic smiled awkwardly: "Kevin! I'm so sorry!"

Willis smiled: "Hey! Sasha! Don't be like this, why are you apologizing? When we meet next time, we will be rivals. At that time, I will not show mercy!"

Willis said it, and made a fist movement towards Vujacic. Vujacic smiled and said, "You'd better worry, don't let me smash your old bones!"

The three of Willis left. On the same day, Pietrus and Biedrins arrived in Washington. After undergoing a medical examination, they checked into the hotel arranged by the team.

The next day, when the Washington Wizards started training, the two rookies arrived.
