NBA restricted area bulldozer

Chapter 499 Blowout Trading News

I'm a dignified general of the Spurs.

Why is it so valuable in Jordan's group?

Robinson simply couldn't bear this kind of treatment, and after they broke up, they really started to look for their respective alliances like Jordan. Although each team's reinforcement plan was basically set in advance and only had to be announced by the official, but this time The summit is a good way to see the future changes of each team.

……

At this time, Li Shengli's brigade has already dispersed to engage in friendship and inquire about news, but the magician who was supposed to be in Thompson's No. [-] area came to the active party in No. [-] area. After all, he was also an old man who made a comeback last season. .

"Li, do you see anything?" The magician ordered two glasses of champagne and gave Li Shengli one.

"What do you need to see?" Li Shengli took the wine glass, turned to the magician and asked, "Why, what news did you hear in District [-] just now?"

"Why don't you guess."

"Do you still need to guess?" Li Shengli first glanced at the Spurs represented by Robinson, who was chatting happily with two people in the venue, "This should be the change of the Spurs next season, right?"

"That's right, Wilkins went to play in Europe before, and now he's back. As for this Maxwell, he will also be a new player for the Spurs next season." The magician nodded. , the latter is a big thorn, who was sold by the Rockets after hitting the fans.

"It's a pity. This Wilkins doesn't have a good home. There's already news from District 25. This guy's new contract is too harsh. The starting salary for next season is only [-]."

"No, how much can he earn after deducting taxes and other expenses?"

"It's good to be able to play with the ball, it's so cruel here." The magician shook his head helplessly, "Really, even so, Robinson may not be able to lift his head next season. The Spurs are not a problem. You should first look at Ola Zhu Wangna is so happy to smile, I already have Drexler by my side, and next season... Barkley will also go to the Rockets."

"Barkley is going to the Rockets? Is this the news from District [-]?" Li Shengli was stunned for a moment, because Olajuwon, Drexler, and Barkley are considered the Big Three of the elderly.

"That's right, the news is like this, you see how annoying they are laughing."

"Hey, is there any other news?"

"Other news? You have to let me think about it, because there are too many news today... The Nuggets' Dikembe Mutombo is going to the Hawks to team with Laettner; Larry Johnson is going to the Knicks to team up with Ewing ;In addition, the Washington Bullets seem to be changing their team name again, and their Chris Webber and Juwan Howard are good friends. After joining forces, the Bullets want to send Wallace, a rookie who conflicts with their position, to the Trail Blazers .”

"Rashed Wallace went to the Trail Blazers? It's nothing to be concerned about, is it?"

"Indeed, but what you need to know is that Ryder of the Timberwolves also ran to form a team last season." The magician paused, "To be honest, the Timberwolves were a bit miserable by him... I just hope this guy is a little bit more honest when he gets to the Blazers."

"Is there any other news?"

"There is nothing else worthy of attention for the time being. After all, you and Shaq are the biggest news this offseason, and these days should be the time to close the net. You and Shaq will be very exposed, so remember not to As for the Knicks... don't bother with them, just keep the current state. In addition, the Crotty you asked for has already been signed, and he will still be with you in the new season."

……

The magician came over and chatted with Li Shengli for a while, about the situation, and until the evening... the summit was considered to be at its climax.

The management teams in District [-] fought wits and courage, and each team took this opportunity to negotiate a new deal.

Because of the news from District [-], the active superstars in District [-] immediately started to form cliques and have a series of in-depth soul exchanges.

Coupled with the frequent appearances of retired celebrities, the major news on the second day of the summit was simply a blowout, sweeping up the sports sections of the United States. Even in the offseason, it was still in several major sports leagues at the same level stole the show.

And such an unofficial Greenville summit, although there is no serious game to play, but the heat generated has made up for the official heat gap, and it has well connected the old and new seasons. In the end, it is still not as efficient as the All-Stars, but this timing is still perfect in the offseason.

The Big Three of the Bulls remain.

The Rockets' Big Three also appeared.

The Spurs found veteran Wilkins.

The Lakers and Celtics also gained two super centers, Li Shengli and O'Neal.

Coupled with the addition of rookies in the 96th class, the entire league seemed to be full of vitality because of these events, and Li Shengli and O'Neal were also arranged by their own team's big bosses for two exclusive interviews on the second day, deepening and continuing the news after this. , the limelight is the same in the short term.

……

If this time it is only for the team to seek trades and free agents, then the summit will become the league's physical market, but the effect of this summit is far more than that. After all, the process of selecting the top 50 superstars is coming to an end.

Top 50!

You must know that the selection of the 50 superstars is selected by a selection team composed of retired players, coaches, team management and reporters from major media.

The rule is that retired players cannot vote for themselves, and everyone must come up with a list of 50 people in no particular order, and the frequency of each person's appearance will be combined to determine the final list of honors.

This means that there are three forces that determine the 50-man list, namely retired players, team management and media reporters.

In this way, if you want to squeeze into the honor list, you will naturally have to appear more frequently in the private lists of these three forces, so this is also the reason why all the famous celebrities are willing to show their faces and hold together.

However, although all votes strive to be fair, the concept of fairness is only relative, not absolute, because in the 50-year history of the NBA, the production and influence of superstars from the Lakers and Celtics are astonishing. Just bugs.

Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Magician, Russell, Bird, and even West and Auerbach of the team's management, these yellow and green big names, are all members of the voting group and occupy the absolute majority. The upper hand, plus the yellow and green two as the summit organizers...

Therefore, in order to appear frequently in the lists of the two camps, yellow and green, everyone is willing to form a temporary alliance with the two camps and exchange positions on the list, and almost all the bosses who are willing to strike up a conversation with the yellow and green camps are all the same I took out two of the 50 places in my hand and filled them in with Li Shengli and O'Neill, so that the two of the yellow and green could choose their own places.

……

In essence, the [-]/[-] rule has a wide range of applications.

No matter what circle you are in, resources will always be in the hands of a group of people standing at the top of the pyramid, and the summit is so noisy, Li Shengli and O'Neill have entered the 50-person honor list... there are fans outside, yellow and green blessings inside, basically That's it.

Until June 10th.

After a series of "tense" selections, the final list was finalized.

Among the top 50 retired celebrities, the once-famous superstars are basically selected, such as Chamberlain, Dr. J, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Magician, Russell, Bird, etc., who represent an era. Among them...the five super centers of God of War Li Shengli, Shaquille O'Neal, Admiral Robinson, Gorilla Ewing, and Dream Olajuwon accounted for five seats. The league's No.1 Jordan, Batman Pippen, Flying Pig Barkley, Postman Malone, General Stockton, and Glider Drexler were also selected.

With the announcement of the top 50 list, the curtain spanning the league for 50 years also opened.

It's just that the time card for Stern's announcement of the roster is quite accurate, and the award ceremony was also placed during the All-Star Weekend during the season, and the third day after the fans in the league were boiling, that is, November 11st... 1- The curtain of the new season of 96 finally opened.

Almost all teams are scheduled to play on this day.

But because there are only 29 teams in the league now, and even if there are odd numbers, one team must be missed. Therefore, the Charlotte Hornets, whose operations and income have always been poor, were squeezed out, and this day... …Charlotte fans were crying, crying watching the Lakers game, watching the Hornets sell Li Shengli, and watching the rookie Kobe Bryant who just traded away this season.
