I'm a boss in the NBA

Chapter 657 The Deal Between the King and the Pelican
The exciting All-Star game is officially over. In the past, the players were very busy at this time, because they didn’t have much time to rest. The regular season will be played soon. Now it is much better. The 19th All-Star game is over. The first game will not start until the 23rd, so Xu Xuan has plenty of time to rest.

"Xu, do you want to go out for two days? I have an appointment with someone over there, let's go out and have a good time together." Curry suggested enthusiastically.

But Xu Xuan was not interested.

In other words, he didn't have time to play at all.

The All-Star has already wasted a lot of training time. For him, the most important thing now is to complete the task, otherwise, there may be a chain of bad effects.

After the All-Star Game, Xu Xuan just had a simple interview with the sports channel, and then went directly back to Los Angeles for training.

After this All-Star, there is not much free time, and the remaining games are very critical.

There is no room for carelessness.

It is definitely a good thing for Xu Xuan to hurry up and hurry up.

But in the alliance, there is an undercurrent surging at this time.

Nothing else, the end of the All-Star basically means that the trade deadline for this season is approaching!

No matter which team it is, as long as there is still an idea in the heart, it must take action, otherwise there will be no chance.

The previous interview with the sports channel also covered this issue, but Xu Xuan really didn't know what the Lakers thought.

Just skip this topic.

But the lack of the Lakers does not mean that other teams have none.

On Xu Xuan's first day back in Los Angeles, there were already shots from the team.

And this first deal caught everyone's attention!

Because, this is actually a deal that happened between the King and the Pelicans. The Pelicans, who just hosted the All-Stars, are actually the first ones who can't help but make a move!
Xu Xuan had almost figured it out in his mind, but he couldn't help but click on the specific transaction information.

The news read: The Sacramento Kings and the New Orleans Pelicans reached a trade application at 9 a.m. this morning.

The Kings sent Cousins ​​to the Pelicans, and the Pelicans sent Buddy Hield, Tyreke Evans, Langston Galloway, a first-round pick and a second-round pick in 17 Right, the Kings also sent Omer Casspi.

As soon as the deal came out, it was discussed like crazy.

Not long after the famous reporter Wojnarowski broke the news, "Yang Yi of the United States" has already sprayed on the management of the Kings!

"How the Kings don't want Cousins ​​to buy a plane ticket back!? Such a clearance sale!!?

How did the king think about it, and finally made such an absurd decision?

This is all right, the Pelicans have become the biggest winner, the lineup hardly needs to be changed, and there is an extra super insider.

To be honest, my grandma would not even dare to do this deal!But the Kings management did it!

This is too unbelievable! ! ! ! "

It is true that between the Kings and Cousins, there may be no second way to go. During this year's All-Star period, the Kings have been trying to sell their cousin for a good price. They even contacted the Lakers and wanted to Asking the Lakers to trade Ingram, Dow was rejected in the end, and the deal was not reached.

But in any case, I never thought that Cousins ​​​​would go to the Pelicans.

If Xu Xuan hadn't known about this deal in advance, he would definitely have been shocked.

The domestic side also quickly learned of the news. Yang Yi of China also expressed his views on the transaction on Weibo after Yang Yi of the United States spoke out.

"First we have to look at why the Kings traded Cousins.

First, because Cousins ​​refused to renew his contract in advance. I think this is the biggest incentive, not one of them, because you have voluntarily refused to renew your contract with a maximum salary. Apart from leaving, do you have anything else to think about?There seems to be no reason for you to refuse a maximum salary extension.

The second is that, counting this year, Cousins ​​has been with the Kings for seven seasons.In these seven seasons, the Kings have changed six coaches.They have never won more than 33 games in a single season, and even at this year's pace, the likely goal is only 35 games.

The team's record is not good, and the management is a headache, but what worries the management more is the series of troubles created by Cousins.

'The No. [-] center below the neck', this is what domestic fans call Cousins. I think this statement is very vivid. His strength on the court is obvious to all; his instability off the court is also well known.

He had quarrels with teammates, quarreled with coaches, and disputes with referees and reporters were commonplace.

For example, recently, when every team manager was asked if he wanted to trade for Cousins, he said no.

If the reporter's report is biased, Cousins ​​​​naturally has reason to be angry, but as a professional player, especially the face of a team, he should find a better way to deal with it.

Cousins ​​was fined $25000 for giving the middle finger to fans wearing Warriors jerseys after a recent victory over the Warriors.

All of the above may be true temperament in the eyes of fans, but from the perspective of the team management, it is a "big trouble".

So, I think the second reason is that Cousins ​​may not fit well with the culture of the Kings, which is one of the reasons for being traded. "

What Yang Yi said was very sincere.

"Look, I have a screenshot here of the three tweets sent by Pelicans game announcer Grant Napear after learning that Cousins ​​was traded.

The translated meanings are:

'There is no hesitation in trading Cousins.The king's team has been shrouded in dark clouds for a long time, and now the dark clouds have finally dissipated! '

'24, 22, 28, 28, 29, 33 and 24 this season, these are Cousins' records with the team.It's time for a change of direction. '

' And the most important thing to say is that most of Cousins' teammates hated him for the past seven years!This is a fact! '

What does this mean?
It means that Cousins ​​has actually lost his status in the team.

And what we often joke about is that as soon as Cousins ​​is on the court, his teammates play him collectively. This kind of thing doesn’t happen once or twice, it happens often. It's really not good, no matter what kind of statistics and performance he plays, he will lose the game in the end. "

"It's a rare situation in NBA history where a team holds a No. 1 position without a doubt, and the best player is negative equity. I can't even think of a precedent, not one that comes close. The closest thing is Anthony, but definitely not to the extent of his cousin.

It has nothing to do with his level, there is no dispute that he is the number one center in the league.But he ran into two hurdles. Unless the King made a fantastic deal to get a star, and then cleared enough space to wait for a star group Big Three, otherwise Cousin would have no star to come to the King in one day.He is one of the best low-post players in the league in my opinion. A pick-and-roll guard like Paul can stand aside. Cousin is a good pick-and-roll wall, but using him as a wall is tantamount to paying back the pearl.This is not the most troublesome thing, the cousin "doesn't do business", and when she is bored, she goes to a high position to play with the ball by herself. There has never been such an inside line in the history of the NBA. No one outside the star knows whether he can fight with him. What should I do if you do all my work for me?So no one dares to take risks until the Kings can put aside chemistry to win in a certain sense and rely on talent.

Stars dare not come, so they have to make it themselves. My cousin still thinks a lot like Olajuwon in the early days. The talent is not on the same level as him. He doesn't even look at it, and just plays by himself.In fact, he has been changing in the past few years, but it is too slow for the king. The king himself has no talent, and it will be the year of the monkey when his cousin learns to play with others.

The King's current structure determines that he can't be a Rocket. The Rockets are very, very defensive in the first championship. The role of the bayonet.He still has a good seed in his hand, Caulistan, so it is more appropriate for the king to send his cousin away and rebuild quickly than to gamble on the future with him who does not know whether he will move next year. "

"There was a stalemate with teammates, coaches, and staff. It was reasonable for Cousins ​​to be traded, but he was traded to the Pelicans and sent away at such a price that was almost a 'clearance sale'. Unexpectedly.

考辛斯本赛季场均能得到27.8分10.7个篮板4.9次助攻1.4抢断1.3个盖帽，今天全明星赛当中考辛斯只打了2分钟，明显受到交易流言影响。

Among the three players traded by the Pelicans, Evans once played for the Kings. Hilder was the No. 6 pick in the first round last year. He averaged 20.4 minutes per game this season, scoring 8.6 points, 2.9 rebounds and 2.9 assists. Stone will reportedly be cut by the Kings soon.

The Pelicans actually got a bargaining chip.The king was willing to accept it.Note: The Pelicans sent back Evans, who was sent away by the King!The king really doesn't pick anything.

So the question is, who wins and who loses in this transaction? "

"NBA transactions have always been full of risky losses and gains, maybe only on the line. When the Lakers "robbed" the Grizzlies, the deal to get Pau Gasol was considered a blood profit for the Lakers. Indeed, the Lakers never The Grizzlies got their star, who helped Kobe win two consecutive championships. But years later, the Grizzlies didn't seem to suffer. They got Pau Gasol's younger brother Marc Gasol from that deal, and he was just A Tim. This inconspicuous Tim later grew up to be a defensive center in the league.

What is this indicating?Explain that trading is always risky. "

"Let's not look at the Pelicans, let's look at what the Kings got.

Evans, (this is the former king of the king, but his debut and peak) averaged 9.5 points, 3.3 rebounds and 3.5 assists per game, and only played 26 games this season

Galloway averaged 55 points, 8.6 rebounds and 2.2 assists in 1.2 games.
Hield played 57 games and averaged 8.6 points, 2.9 rebounds and 1.3 assists per game.

2017年首轮选秀权（1-3顺位保护）和2017年次轮选秀权（来自76人）
The sum seems to be about the same as Cousins ​​averaged 27.8 points, 10.7 rebounds and 4.9 assists per game, but it was never evaluated that way.

However, the value of Cousins’ transaction is extremely high. For teams interested in getting Cousins, they will continue to have Cousins’ “bird rights” (a special case of Larry Bird, generally known as the “Bird Clause”). ", "Bird Rights". When the team uses this special case, even if the team's salary has exceeded the salary cap, the team can still use this special case to meet "qualified, NBA experience free agents" Signing. Many teams will offer better offers to the Kings in the trade market in order to get Cousins
The king lost a lot in this deal!Even if you get a draft pick, the Pelicans' record can still improve the draft pick and depreciate it.

In other words, judging from the value comparison and matching degree of the transaction, the Kings are definitely at a loss, and it is the kind that loses to the point of explosion.

So what about the pelicans? "

"Maybe for Cousins, a change of team would give him a fresh start, and ideally, a winning team would hold him accountable. Likewise, playing with another star can show all basketball fans another competitor

The acquisition of Cousins ​​by the Pelicans also marks that the entire pattern of the West has indeed changed.

Now judging from the rankings, the Pelicans are ranked No. 11 in the West, and they are still far from the playoffs.Not even King High, King Ninth.

This is the current situation in the Western Conference. As long as Cousins ​​​​does not mess up, it is basically no problem to enter the playoffs.The remaining question is which opponent the Pelicans want to pick, the Lakers or the Warriors.

In fact, no team hopes to meet the Pelicans in the playoffs, at least the inside will be rubbed on the ground.

Cousins ​​is the league's No. [-] center, and Thick Eyebrow is the league's No. [-] power forward. If there is a chemical reaction between the two insiders, the effect will definitely be amazing! "

"I remember that a few years ago, many people questioned my cousin's preference for making offensive fouls and not blocking shots, saying how soft he is. Well, it is reasonable to say that drawing offensive fouls is more difficult than blocking shots, and the value is also greater. An insider with the physical condition of my cousin can Making a good offensive foul will definitely protect the basket. It's a question of whether he thinks about it. In my opinion, he makes offensive fouls more because he wants to win.

The best way to end on the defensive end is not to steal or block shots, but to make offensive fouls.The first is to fill in a number in the opponent's foul column, the second is to end the defensive round [-]%, and the third is to make an offensive foul instead of stealing and blocking a shot. space.This is why the NBA and FIBA ​​have been cracking down on flopping in offensive fouls all the time. Everyone in the circle knows that FIBA ​​has become crazy about flopping and flopping in recent years. Throwing has become a trend, and people lie on the ground without fouling.To what extent?The analysis of what we have received this year shows that starting from next year, if you dive, you will be given a gesture warning, regardless of whether the player can see it or not, it will be a T next time.
