Coach, I don't want to retire yet

Chapter 651 The alliance has undergone a major change!

Thabeet's fate was soon settled. The Warriors sent Stephen Curry to the Bobcats in exchange for Thabeet.

Curry still has one year left on his child labor contract with the Warriors, and Curry's current trading value is actually equivalent to his child labor contract.

In the NBA, the salaries of many superstars are actually not in line with their own trading value.

The reason why players like Kobe get the maximum salary is not because they deserve the maximum salary, but no matter how valuable or capable they are, they can only get the maximum salary.

Therefore, for superstars, their value is far higher than their salary. Those players whose value is lower than their salary have junk contracts. They get top salaries but play basketball that costs millions of dollars, or even basketball with side effects.

Before last season, everyone said that Curry was on a child labor contract. At that time, the value Curry showed was indeed far higher than his salary. However, now, his value on the court has dropped sharply.

As long as the forward-forcing tactics do not disappear, it is hard to imagine how a player like Curry can rise. He will probably only be able to be a shooter in the future. Even if he is a shooter, it will be difficult now without confrontation.

Especially for a shooter like Curry who obviously has strong shooting ability and needs special attention, the defensive players will definitely focus on you.

In other words, other three-point shooters with weaker strength can be shooters, but players like Curry who are very strong in three-point shooting are not easy to be shooters.

If you want to be a role player, you also have to see if others are willing to let you be a role player.

Therefore, Curry's future in the NBA will be very difficult. This is also the reason why almost everyone on the Warriors, from players to management, gave up on Curry last season.

Because even the Warriors find it difficult to see a future in Curry.

And such a player was actually sent to the Bobcats by the Warriors in exchange for Thabeet.

This has made many NBA teams feel sad and angry, and some even wondered if the Warriors and Coach D had some kind of PY deal.

Some NBA managers even exclaimed that this was robbery, the worst robbery in NBA history, even robbery!
"Coach D's kindness was abused. The Warriors took advantage of Coach D's generosity and kindness and traded a piece of trash for a king!"

This may be unfair to Curry, but after the anonymous manager yelled out, he received a lot of likes from fans and NBA management, which really expressed their thoughts.

In their opinion, this is really the case. Given Tabit's current strength, trading him for Curry, isn't this robbery?
It can be said that the Warriors have gained great reinforcement without losing anything.

Yi, Klay Thompson, Kevin Love, Draymond Green, Andre Iguodala, plus Thabeet, this Warriors team is incredible.

In the current Western Conference, with Kobe retiring and the Thunder on the verge of falling apart, it seems that the Warriors are rising again and may even become the strongest team in the Western Conference.

Well, most experts are actually more optimistic about the Lakers.

If Yao and TMC are still with the Lakers next season.

Because Kobe's retirement means giving his position to young people, many experts believe that Yao and TMC will leave the Lakers this summer.

And the two will go to a team that truly belongs to them, and then play for this team until they retire.

The Lakers never belonged to Yao Ming and McGrady.

Although the Lakers have already promised that Yao and TMC's jerseys will be retired when they retire, the Lakers are not their team after all.

So there are rumors that after Kobe retires, Yao Ming and McGrady will leave the Lakers.

However, this rumor has not been confirmed by anyone.

In addition, the world's attention is on Tabit, so no one will really dig deep into a rumor that seems so absurd.

Well, the rumor that McGrady and Yao Ming are leaving the Lakers is considered to be a very absurd rumor, because the Lakers and Los Angeles are so attractive, and the team is so good now, what reasons do Yao Ming and McGrady have to leave?
However, everything changed after the trade between Thabeet and Curry was completed.

Yao Ming and McGrady actually jointly submitted a trade request to the Lakers!
Yes, McGrady and Yao Ming both chose to leave the Lakers!

For McGrady and Yao Ming, although Coach D has left the Lakers, the Lakers' current style will definitely not create any obstacles for Yao Ming and McGrady to leave.

As long as the two are willing, the Lakers will send them to any team they want.

When both McGrady and Yao Ming submitted trade requests, there was a team in the league that went crazy.

Which team?

Of course it’s Team Rocket!
Because the Rockets feel that their chance is coming!

Why did Yao Ming and McGrady leave such a good team as the Lakers?
He must still have deep love for the Rockets.

So, not only the Rockets management, but also the Rockets fans are crazy.

They would even lose everything if they could get McGrady and Yao Ming back.

In fact, in the eyes of many onlookers, the Rockets are the only choice, because apart from returning to the Rockets, no one can think of any reason why Yao Ming and McGrady left the Lakers.

Therefore, when Yao Ming and McGrady of the Rockets requested a trade to leave the team, other NBA teams did not even take any action, because there was really no need to take any action. Instead of wasting energy on Yao Ming and McGrady, it would be better to focus on other players who need to be competed for.

This summer, the players who may be in demand are not just Thabeet, Yao Ming and McGrady.

Under such circumstances, the Rockets management confidently and sincerely rang the Lakers' doorbell, and the Rockets fans were also very confident and even proud to express their feelings on the Internet that they were about to get Yao Ming and McGrady.

Even many Rockets fans began to mock Lakers fans and the Los Angeles Lakers.

"In the hearts of Yao and TMC, no matter how good the Lakers and Los Angeles are, their favorite team is still the Houston Rockets!"

Wow, it can really be described as wow. Many Lakers fans on the Internet did not expect that Rockets fans would open champagne to such an extent in advance.

Why don't you just open the champagne in advance? Why are you making people feel disgusted?
Moreover, the Lakers are Yao Ming and McGrady's former team. If you disgust Lakers fans so much, isn't it just like asking Lakers fans to hate Yao Ming and McGrady?
Did you do this on purpose, or was it an accident, or are you just being disgusting?
Given Yao Ming and McGrady's status and the contributions they have made to the team, although the Rockets fans' current expressions are very uncomfortable, Lakers fans still have no opinions about Yao Ming and McGrady.

If the two veterans want to return to their roots, let them do so. They have created a lot of history for the Lakers and left behind many legends.

it is ready.

Be blessed.

Then, very quickly, shocking news came from within the Lakers.

The Lakers management was not at all tempted by the trade offer made by the Rockets and decisively rejected it.

Yes, Lakers officials intuitively rejected the Rockets' offer.

This will directly mess up the entire alliance.

Even the Lakers fans were dumbfounded. "What is Kupchak going to do? He is not going to get a lot of chips from Yao and TMC, right? How dare he!!! He is just a puppet general manager of the Lakers, how dare he!!!"

Rockets fans were still in shock, while Lakers fans started to criticize.

No matter how disgusting the Rockets fans are, and no matter how disgusting the Rockets team is, at least Yao Ming and TMC cannot get any trade compensation from them. If they are willing, they can even send them to the team they want for free.

How could the Lakers put obstacles in the way of a trade for two players like this?

Soon, Rockets fans, and even fans across the league, joined the Lakers fans in condemning Kupchak.

As the "pot of this life" of the Lakers, Kupchak is really wronged. This time, he really has no intention of making a fuss about Yao Ming and McGrady.

Even if he wanted to do it, he wouldn't dare.

Who do Yao Ming and McGrady belong to?
Need I say this?

Even if he had ten thousand guts, he wouldn't dare to have any ideas about these two people.

In order to prevent the situation from escalating, Kupchak immediately came out to refute the rumors and even held a press conference in person.

Kupchak doesn't want to get the attention of Coach D because many Lakers fans on the Internet are already crazy about Coach D.

Even many American fans know that Coach D likes to visit China's Ah Pu, so they went to China's Ah Pu to send a private message to Du Kang's account.

All of a sudden, many international friends came in.

Given this situation, can Kupchak not take the initiative to step forward immediately?

To be honest, no one expected the NBA to be so lively this summer.

Just as the controversy surrounding Thabeet had settled, the bigger controversy involving Yao Ming and McGrady arose.

"The Lakers and I have never thought about getting anything from the trade between TMC and Yao. We respect them as always. They are the legends of the Lakers, forever legends. What they need is what we need. If they are willing to return to the Rockets, then even if the Rockets send us a garbage contract, we will accept it without hesitation. But obviously, the Rockets are not on the list of alternative teams for Yao and TMC."

Wow, this is really good. Kupchak was really direct at the press conference, and after he finished speaking, all the reporters at the scene were stunned.

What the hell, didn’t Yao Ming and McGrady leave the Lakers to return to the Rockets to retire?
So, that means Yao Ming and McGrady also have a list, and the Rockets are not on this list?

This is so damn shocking.

The most shocked are undoubtedly the Rockets management and Rockets fans.

Even the Houston reporters who were preparing to attack Kupchak at the press conference were stunned.

"Tao and TMC actually excluded Team Rocket directly!!!"

"Incredible! I originally thought that after losing Coach D, Yao and TMC were blind. Now it seems that I was wrong. Yao and TMC still have sharp eyes. How could I want to go back to the Houston Rockets after leaving such a team!"

After the shock, the entire NBA was excited because they also had a chance to get Yao Ming and McGrady!!
And what did Kupchak say?

Yao Ming and McGrady can leave at no cost if they want.

This summer, the salary cap has increased significantly. Yao Ming and McGrady have real child labor contracts. You can just sign and then trade a role player to swap between the two. What a good deal.

It's like getting these two Goats completely for free!
Knowing that they have these two, any team can immediately become the biggest favorite to win the championship!
Then, many NBA teams rushed towards the Lakers frantically.

Except for the Bobcats, of course.

Because of Coach D, the Bobcats already knew Yao Ming and McGrady's first intentions.

They know that the team that Yao Ming and McGrady want to go to is deeply tied to Bobcats assistant coach Nash.

"Steve, are you really going to leave the team and coach on your own, leaving Coach D?"

"Well, the coach also hopes that I can go out and have a look, and learn something else."

To be honest, Nash is not sure whether he is ready to coach again.

When he, Ham and Clifford coached the Lakers during Coach D's suspension, they really had psychological trauma from coaching.

The Lakers they led are a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, while Coach D led the same team to victory in every game, even staging a comeback after falling behind 0-3 in the finals.

If you were Nash, you would also wonder whether you could do it.

It can only be said that Du Kang did a lot of harm to others in the beginning, causing Nash, Ham and Clifford to not dare to go out to coach.

Du Kang could see that his three assistant coaches were very good, so he encouraged them to go out.

Just in time, Nash had this opportunity this time.

Yao Ming and McGrady invited Nash to be their head coach.

Nash refused at first, but Yao and McGrady finally found Du Kang and asked him to help persuade him. With Du Kang's persuasion, Nash regained strength and confidence and finally accepted Yao and McGrady's invitation.

Soon, news came that the Yao-McGrady trade was completed.

Yao Ming and McGrady were sent to the Toronto Raptors by the Lakers.

At the same time, Steve Nash, assistant coach of the Bobcats and Coach D's top disciple, will serve as the head coach of the Raptors.

Good guy!
The entire alliance exploded!
The most explosive one, of course, is Chris Paul, the current leader of the Raptors, who was sent to the Raptors by the Celtics!

What the hell? When I woke up, I found myself going from the eldest to the third?

Moreover, Steve Nash, his arch-enemy whom he wanted to beat up every time he met him, has become his head coach?
If I continue to be a dragon in the future, will there be any good results?
The team that Yao Ming and McGrady really want to go to is not the Rockets, but the Raptors!

"Yao Ming and McGrady also want to make history and lead the Raptors to win the championship, just like Coach D did with the Bobcats!!!"

"The Bobcats and Raptors won the NBA championship, the two most impossible tasks in the NBA. Coach D completed one of them. Can Yao and McGrady complete the other one?!!!!"

The entire NBA was shocked by Yao and McGrady’s confident choice!
"The NBA landscape has completely changed!!!"
