Chapter 170 Trading Vortex

There is a saying that you can listen to the thunder in a silent place, or you can simply translate it. Before a major event happens, there is basically no special big movement, so it will definitely be very shocking at the moment of exposure.

In the nba, some big deals that involve the core of the team, or three teams, or even several teams are entangled in big deals, often have this effect of being silent beforehand and shocking afterwards.

Because once this kind of deal is concluded, it will often change the strength of the team and the balance of the competition area. If it is serious, it can even affect the entire structure of the league. Therefore, this kind of deal is absolutely shocking.

Many teams turned around by relying on large-scale exchanges and drafts, such as the Spurs who selected Duncan, or the Heat recruited O'Neal from the Lakers. These are very typical examples.

Go all out and fight, if you win the fight, then you have earned it, if you lose, it will last for another two years at most, the nba's vicissitudes, I don't know how many big deals have bloomed in it.

Of course, there are actually more failed deals, such as the Trail Blazers and New York. In recent years, any deal involving these two teams is basically a tragic ending, and accidents rarely happen.

Those two cities have almost become "star black holes". As long as you have the courage to defect to them, you can basically be destroyed. Now many people are sweating for Brandon Roy, who has performed well.

But whether it is the team or the fans, it is inevitable to look forward to those transactions that involve many transactions, especially some teams that are ready to start rebuilding, and they will choose to replace the big-name players in their teams.

Whether it's bringing back potential rookies, draft picks, or simply freeing up cap space, these are all necessary experiences in the team's rebuilding process, but the cost is also high, often sinking for a season or two.

Especially those who bet on the draft, once they miss, they will not be able to turn around in the short term. It is actually not common for a team like the Bulls to pick a good player, so many people are envious of Chicago's luck.

There are actually many examples of slumping after a trade, just like the Celtics. They also experienced that dark period, and the rebuilding process always seemed long and tortured.

Opportunities and risks coexist. There is no difference between trading and gambling, but the rewards in it make many team managers choose to take risks. After all, he still has half the chance of success, so they are all willing to take a gamble.

Moreover, the core or bosses of the teams who were traded away either began to decline, or were incompatible with the team's existing tactical system, and most of them were a bit out of place.

When you have a big contract on your team and he doesn't perform as well as he should, the first reaction of most team managers is to trade the guy to make the money he spent look worthwhile. .

Many big deals have always happened before others have noticed, so no matter before the NBA closes player deals in February, all assumptions may appear.

When Angie was still running around in Los Angeles to supplement the Celtics' lineup, the trading market, which had no big moves in the summer, suddenly exploded with a big deal, which was indeed beyond the expectations of many people.

The Philadelphia 76ers, which had been in turmoil for almost two months, finally traded their star star Iverson to the Nuggets despite their continued sluggish record. Their shooting speed really made many people unresponsive. As soon as news leaked out one day, the deal was publicly announced to be completed the next day.

This caught many teams planning to talk to the Philadelphia 76ers by surprise. For example, the prodigal Dolan was very annoyed. According to this guy's thinking, if Iverson and Marbury were put together, it would be more cool.

However, the Philadelphia management didn't give Dolan a chance to dream. They reached an agreement with the Nuggets on the day they announced that they wanted to trade, and when others reacted, the deal was over.

The speed was so fast that the media and fans did not have much time to react. Even if the diehard Philadelphia fans wanted to curse, their "answer" was about to leave before they even opened their mouths.

The Philadelphia 76ers traded their team leader for Joe Smith, whose contract is about to expire, and Nuggets point guard Andre Miller, a standard point guard Cheeks so desperately wanted.

In addition to Iverson, the 76ers also picked up Iwan McFarlin. While getting two players, they can also take away two first-round picks for next year from the Nuggets.

It is estimated that this is the most important thing for the 76ers. Not only does Iverson's 1800 million salary save them headaches, but it also allows the team to look forward to getting some good players in next year's draft.

It is also because of this condition that Philadelphia will trade with Denver, and the whole process has been negotiated so smoothly, and both parties are exactly what they need.

It may also be because seeing the Celtics pick two rookies who can be of great use in one draft, it also made the Philadelphians in the same region tempted, and they are also preparing to take a gamble in the draft.

The most important thing is that the 76ers are completely determined to rebuild this time. Although the outside world is not optimistic that Iguodala can carry the team, the irreconcilable conflict between Cheeks and Iverson makes the management hesitate After a long time, they still chose to trade. Maybe the ending was a bit cruel, but for them, it was the best.

It's not news about Iverson's whereabouts and trade, but after such a deal is concluded, the strong teams in the West have to cheer up, and the strength of the Nuggets is gradually increasing.

Everyone probably knows how powerful Iverson can be, and the Nuggets now have Anthony with fierce firepower. If these two guys are paired together, uh, this attack power...

Although Iverson hasn't reported in Denver yet, the media over there have already begun to celebrate. Many media have even publicly stated that this is the most powerful two-gun combination in Denver!

As for whether it is true or not, only the game can test it. Anyway, both teams get what they need. The Nuggets need a tough scorer, and the 76ers have almost given up this season.

Anyway, there is no good way if they don't give up. The 76ers are now at the bottom of the Atlantic Division. If they want to make a comeback, a miracle will probably happen.

Now they can only compare with the Knicks, who has the worst performance in the Atlantic Division.

Anyway, no matter what, this deal has been exposed to the public. As for how Philadelphia fans will denounce their team management as despicable and ruthless, it is the internal contradictions of their people.

Angie didn't pay much attention to this kind of transaction. After all, according to the current salary structure of the Celtics, it is still somewhat difficult to attract big-name stars like Iverson to join.

What's more, what the opponent wants is to win the championship immediately. The Celtics have not yet entered the eyes of others, and the salary that is a bit higher than Pierce makes Angie a little daunting.

In addition, Rivers does not want the arrival of one person to destroy the current relatively balanced tactical system of the Celtics, so Angie never thought of Iverson at all.

However, less than two days after Iverson's deal, another piece of news broke out in Philadelphia that Angie cared about, because Goodwin had already talked to him on the phone a day in advance.

"The Philadelphia 76ers' announcement that they have bought out the remaining $2000 of Chris Webber's $[-] million contract is certainly a sign of the Phillies' confidence in starting to rebuild."

"After removing the two largest contracts in the team, the 76ers now have enough salary space to allow them to attract big stars who enter the free agent market before the start of next season."

"The management of the 76ers announced this news to the public. They thanked Webber for his help to the team in the past few seasons in Philadelphia, and wished the veteran a better future by the way."

That's what Angie was waiting for, but he didn't expect the Philadelphians to move so fast. Counting from Goodwin's meeting with him, it was only less than a week.

"The Phillies are really straightforward, $2000 million, they don't even think about it when they pay the money, it's really for rebuilding, and it's already at all costs, I hope Iguodala and Qi The Kicks pair can lead them on the road to revival, otherwise, the management will definitely be scolded to death."

Now Angie is paying attention to this big deal that attracts the attention of the East and the West with the mentality of watching the excitement.

Philadelphia's competitiveness in the Atlantic Division will no longer affect the Celtics. As for what kind of chaos the West can become, that is not an issue that Angie needs to consider. He is happy that this drama can be more lively.

Iverson's fate is a foregone conclusion, but Goodwin's call also reminded Angie that he hasn't settled Webber yet, and Detroit is still competing with Boston.

Faced with such an insider who can still play about 28 minutes, can score 12 points, and has 8 rebounds in the account, you may only need a veteran clause to get it done, and anyone will be tempted.

But the condition that the Pistons can offer now is to settle the remaining contracts of this season. They probably need to pay about 70, but Sanders will use the championship as a bait.

When Goodwin called, Angie didn't even have to think about it, and told Goodwin directly that if Weber could come to Boston, he would use the veteran clause, which was about 120 million annual salary.

This salary is not large, compared to the more than 2000 million that the Philadelphians bought out, it can even be said to be a bit stingy. According to Weber's net worth, he may not even look down on such a small amount of money.

If this were normal, no team manager would rashly use such a veteran clause to lure Webber to his team, but now, it is Weber who wants to find a team.

Therefore, how much salary to get is no longer his primary consideration. What he needs is another kind of motivation, which is honor. Whoever can make him honor, who can give him hope, is his choice.

Although Angie will not offer the bait of a championship like Sanders, he has asked Goodwin to tell Webber that he definitely does not want to sign Webber for this year or just for a playoffs.

As long as Webber's injury doesn't interfere with his attendance, he expects Webber to play in Boston until his retirement.

This is not an official rhetoric, but Angie's very sincere request. In fact, this is what Rivers meant when he communicated with Angie in private. The confrontation made Chen Feng realize a lot of things. In terms of Weber's ability alone, he is indeed not weak.

And spending money to get an experienced teacher for that kid, who can still play in games, is not bad, Rivers almost didn't make a decision on the spot.

The Celtics showed great sincerity, and Weber himself was able to consider them because in that game, the bald wild boy made him feel a passion for confrontation.

As Rivers said, the Pistons may have the ability to go further in the playoffs, but what they have is just now, while what the Celtics have is a broad future.

Weber believed in his intuition, and most importantly, he believed that the incomparably brave bald boy was a good partner, and his tough style gave him more room to play.

The old guy who has just been bought out hopes to use the most intuitive way to show those who think he is old. He is not too old to play, and he still has gorgeous skills and extraordinary consciousness.

No one could have imagined that the turmoil caused by Iverson was just a prelude, and the people of Detroit did not expect that the conditions they offered Webber would receive a polite refusal after a day.

Moreover, after Webb rejected the Pistons' offer, he notified Goodwin immediately that he could sign with Boston immediately. For this, Angie even put aside an ongoing negotiation and flew back directly.

Sanders really scratched his head and didn't expect that he would lose to other opponents in this competition.

And Weber, who was targeted by many teams, made his first public appearance after two days of silence, and his whereabouts had already been finalized.

When the answer to the mystery was revealed, the team that wanted to recruit this veteran finally realized who they had lost to.

Especially Sanders, he never figured out why the Pistons, ranked No. [-] in the Eastern Conference, lost to the Celtics who had been hovering around the threshold of the playoffs.

"I am very happy to be in Boston. There is a glorious history here, and I hope I can be a part of it." When Chris Webber said these words, Rivers' mouth was about to burst into joy.

However, Angie told his old buddy on the other end of the phone, "Don't be too happy, because the good news is still to come."

The vortex of transactions started by Philadelphia has brought the most benefits to Boston. Many people are even lamenting their shit luck, but few people think that this is just the beginning...
