Chapter 362

After returning to his mansion in Cleveland, Aden also collected all the deals for this offseason as soon as possible.

Mosaic traded with the Grizzlies, the former got blindfold master Battier, and the latter got rookie Rudy Gay.

Zhao Hao is very clear that this deal will completely change the Mosaic team from a fake strong team to a strong team.

Because the arrival of Battier can perfectly cover up McGrady's defensive ability on the outside.

At the same time, the Nuggets also renewed Anthony's contract in advance and offered him a five-year 5 million maximum salary contract.

The Bulls also spent 4 years and 6000 million to win the free agent Big Ben Wallace.

As soon as this signing is made, it can almost be announced that the Pistons, which have caused years of defensive haze to the teams in the East, officially disintegrated.

Even if the Pistons still have the Four Tigers at this time, they can still retain a certain degree of competitiveness in the Eastern Conference.

But because of Big Ben's departure, the Pistons' top defense in the league is basically gone.

So it is almost impossible to go further.

And in addition to these trades, and the seismic Garnett trade to the Lakers, there was another trade that also shocked the entire league.

"Since the end of last season, Iverson has been clamoring to leave the team because the Digital Man team failed to make the playoffs." Aden couldn't help but sighed.

And because Iverson clamored to leave the team, almost half of the teams in the league set their sights on Philadelphia during the offseason.

All the general managers also sincerely took their chips to test the tone of the management of the digital team.

Thinking of that scene, Aden felt that the management of the Digimen team had some backbone.

Like the Toronto Raptors, they directly expressed their sincerity to pick anything other than Bosh, and were even willing to take out the No. 06 pick in [-].

And the Lynx team is even more exaggerated, as long as your digital team wants, then they can give it!

And if they don't have what your Digimen want, Bobcats management is even willing to trade to give you Digimen again!

Such a sincere attitude, the result
"The management of the Digital Man team has already said that even if Iverson is rotten in the team, they will not trade him to any opponent in the East."

Hearing this, Zhao Hao nodded in agreement.

Iverson, at this time, he is recognized by the entire league as being unstoppable, so he really deserves the treatment of the digital team.

"It's just that his final destination is the Nuggets, which is a pity."

Hearing Zhao Hao subconsciously say this sentence, Aden was slightly taken aback.

"What happened to the Nuggets?
Their team has an offensive kaleidoscope Anthony!
Although they also sent Andre Miller, Joe Smith and two future first-round picks in order to trade Iverson.

But the other core players in the team are still there.

Now there is an Iverson, isn't this combination strong? "

Zhao Hao couldn't help but smile lightly.

As far as offensive firepower is concerned, it is indeed very strong!

Moreover, because of Zhao Hao, the little butterfly, the two gold nuggets of this life were assembled a few months in advance.

Compared with the previous life, they can also have more room for running-in, so the degree of tacit understanding should be better.

However, the two cores of a team don't like defense, and this is the biggest problem.

Moreover, Camby, the defensive core of their team, is not a player who is good at assisting defense.

He is not the type of Big Ben who can build a team's defensive system by himself.

In addition, the head coach George Karl is only an offensive coach, and he is not good at training defensive formations, so...
Of course, with the combination of Anthony and Iverson, the Nuggets' offensive firepower is really fierce!

Therefore, no one can tell how far the Nuggets can go.

Especially now that there is a top combination of Kobe and Garnett in the West, it is even more difficult for the Nuggets to break out of the West.

After re-examining these transactions during the off-season, Zhao Hao also clearly discovered a problem.

That is, compared with the previous life, almost half of the off-season transactions this year have undergone significant changes.

Either the time was advanced, or there were even major changes in the content of the transaction!
"Such a change also means a greater challenge for me!"

Next, Aden also gave ESPN's ranking of the strength of the current NBA teams.

The Lakers top the list, like an aircraft carrier overlooking all teams in the league.

Followed by the old and solid Spurs.

Then there was the Mavericks who regrouped and made another impact on the finals.

The Cavaliers, which won the NBA championship last season, are only in fourth place!

"This is a bit contemptuous!" Zhao Hao couldn't help but snorted softly.

Aden spread his hands helplessly aside.

"The Cavaliers are pretty good. Last season, the Heat, which played against you in the Eastern Conference Finals, directly ranked No.9 in the league.

Almost fell out of the ranks of the championship! "

Hearing this, Zhao Hao also asked curiously: "Then who is the fifth to No.8?"

After thinking for a while, Aden replied: "Suns, Nuggets, Mosaics, Pistons."

Not to mention, upon hearing these four teams, Zhao Hao instinctively felt that they were indeed stronger than the Heat this season.

After all, O'Neal is 35 years old!

His contract also almost locked the Heat's room for reinforcement.

So in the absence of reinforcements, the Heat are indeed a little weaker than last season.

It's just that this is just ESPN's ranking, and it can't explain anything.

The true strength of each team has to be played to know.

Aden couldn't help sighing at the side at this time, saying: "After this offseason, the West will be turned upside down."

Zhao Hao also nodded in agreement.

The veteran strong team Spurs, the imposing Lakers, the MM combination after returning from injury, and the two-gun Nuggets, plus the Suns and Mavericks.

None of them are weak teams at all!

So let alone the playoffs, even the Western Conference teams in the regular season are enough to beat their heads and blood.

Looking back at the teams in the East, it will be much easier.

The Cavaliers are thriving, the Heat are one year older, and the Pistons have lost their big book.
After a brief rest, Aden also said his goodbyes and left.

Because he also has to pay attention to the rookie PJ Tucker signed this year.

Although he has always been surprised why Zhao Hao suggested him to win this player before.

It's just that Aden knows that it is impossible for him to sign such a proud man like Aldridge and Brandon Roy anyway, so he doesn't care about it at all.

After Aden left, Zhao Hao played with Simba for a while, and then watched Eve swim for a while before leaving.

the next day.

Cavaliers general manager Jim Paxson quickly called Zhao Hao after learning that Zhao Hao had returned, and made an appointment to meet at the team's training facility.

"Pre-season starts on October 10 and we're less than a month away.

Because you and James both participated in the World Championships, the team reports and training camps were postponed.

But the most critical question now is not this!
It's the turmoil in the West, which poses a big problem for us defending our title. "

Speaking of this, Paxson also took a special look at Zhao Hao, and said emphatically: "You and James are still young, so we must be moving towards the goal of defending the title."

Of course, what Paxson didn't say is that because of last season's championship, Cavaliers owner Daniel Gilbert has made a lot of money this offseason.

Therefore, in the new season, he also assigned tasks to all the management of the Cavaliers.

That is bound to defend the title!
But the point is, the Cavaliers have always had a problem with the lineup, and this problem has been exposed as early as last season.

That's Snow's projection!

"Do we have any rookies this year?" Zhao Hao asked after thinking about it.

Paxson was slightly taken aback, and then replied: "No, we already traded you when we got you in the first round.

Therefore, there are no newcomers in the team this year. "

Zhao Hao suddenly changed the subject and asked, "What did Lao Zhan say?"

Paxson said directly: "James said that Snow is the hero of our championship, without him, there would be no championship.

But the real problem is that if the Cavaliers want to defend their title, they will have to seek a deal in exchange for a point guard who is better at shooting. "

This fits Lao Zhan's character very well.

A camaraderie is a camaraderie, playing is another story.

The same is true of the NBA, a business league.

"So, Snow didn't trade away?" Zhao Hao asked Paxson with a glance.

The latter nodded helplessly.

Nowadays, Snow is really difficult to trade away!
It's simply not realistic to trade him for point guards with real shooting ability.

And using him to replace those players whose outside shooting level is not much better, Paxson feels painful, and there is no real meaning.

In addition, the Cavaliers are the defending champions, and the eyes of the entire league are on you!

So you Cavaliers want to strengthen, don't say whether these teams in the East will agree or not, and those championship opponents in the West will be the first to jump out and resolutely refuse!
"It's too difficult for me!" Paxson couldn't help complaining.

At this time, Zhao Hao also directly gave the other party a suggestion.

"The rookie selected by the Magic this year has a player named JJ Redick, because they already have Grant Hill in their team, so his playing time will definitely not be sufficient, and his future data should be poor.

If we could get him here, maybe it would be a good fit for us.

There is also a player named Daniel Gibson, who can be used as a backup.

As for other players who have been in the league for several years, we probably won't be able to get them. "

At this time, Paxson also looked at Zhao Hao suspiciously.

"Redick is the 11th pick! You want to whore for nothing?

Even if he really has the ability to shoot three-pointers, even if the Magic management manages to rot him, there is a high probability that it will not be cheap for us.

And, if I remember correctly, he was still a point player!
What we need is a point guard!

As for the player named Daniel Gibson, who seems to be a second-round pick, I will try my best to try.

However, the second-round picks are also quite expensive this year. "

Hey.

Hearing this, Zhao Hao couldn't help but sigh.

What's wrong with the position?
With James, the Cavaliers need a point guard?
In addition, he is leading the team from the bench, so there is no need for a point guard at all.

And the suggestion he made was just to trade a cheap contract like a rookie.

This makes you Paxson say that it is very expensive. If you form a Big Three or Big Four like in the future, you Paxson may be scared to death.

Not to mention the tens of millions of luxury taxes.

"So, your Cavaliers still can't afford it."
