Center first

Chapter 102 Riley's Golden Abacus
Lin Yi is still worrying about his own foot injury, but the NBA regular season schedule will not stop its hasty pace because of whose injury. In the past week, Miami has played four games, but the result But they are not as strong as they were some time ago. After all, they lack a strong insider to involve them, and Wade's offense is not so handy.

The results of two wins and two losses can only be said to be normal performances, but both victories were achieved by Wade's explosive performance alone. It is hard to say what is good news. Being contained, the team now needs an external force to support it. In the 82 games of the regular season, there will inevitably be various factors, and injuries are just one of them.

Pat Riley sat in his general manager's office and tapped the document in front of him with a pen. He was thinking about how to strengthen his team's inside line. Although Lin Yi's performance had exceeded his expectations, this little guy could Said it brought him too many surprises, but Riley would not bet on one person, that would not be a smart approach.

He is thinking about how to find a reliable substitute for Lin Yi, and he must give Lin Yi more rest time. If he is required to fight the opponent for 10 minutes in the interior, I am afraid that the next injury will not happen. As simple as it is now.

This little injury is lucky enough for this little guy, and it didn't cause much damage. If he is unlucky, he may have to say goodbye to the whole 08.Sports fatigue injury caused by overwork may be the most troublesome kind of injury. How many giants have completely disappeared from the league because of this kind of injury, of course Riley is very clear.

So now he is too eager to have a big man who can play in the paint for about 10 minutes, but it seems that this is a difficult task to complete. There are too few guys who can be selected in the free agent market, even fewer big men. Riley has been busy with this matter for almost half a month, but still has no clue.

A salary contract that can't be too big, and a powerful inside big man may be the most difficult thing to do in the current league environment where big men are scarce.Otherwise, Pat Riley wouldn't have considered the semi-disabled O'Neal Jr., a big man with a little stats would be enough to empty Riley's pocketbook and even cost him the luxury tax.

The treasures that can be found in free agents have already been signed by those teams that can provide big contracts in the summer. Now Marion's contract and Wade's salary have taken up most of Riley's available capital space. The gratification is that Lin Yi is still just a freshman, if he waits until he is about to sign a big contract, that will be Riley's biggest worry.

Marion was originally a very good trading partner, but now that Lin Yi is on the inside, Marion's firepower on the outside in the past dozen games can also be well released. It is definitely not a good choice to trade him now. , Maybe next summer is a good opportunity to free up the salary space.However, if Marion can have such a good performance before February, it is also a very favorable bargaining chip in the transaction. If there is a transaction partner that is enough to make Riley's heart beat, Riley will not give up the possibility of trading. Calculating guy, he never suffers from it.

Now a deal intention in front of Riley has basically been reached. Point guard Banks is about to leave the Heat's locker room. Riley has agreed to the Raptors' exchange terms. The deal that was not reached in the summer Jamalio Moon and Banks in the exchange, the Raptors plus $ 200 million.

Obtain a small forward with immediate combat ability as a substitute when Marion is off the court, and Moon is only a player with a minimum salary. This is also a pawn that Riley buried for the future. He cannot allow a potential big contract to occupy him The future trading space, now he has to make his own preparations for this possible future trading.

Mario Chalmers' recent strong performance has completely pushed Banks to the bench, and now this first-year freshman, like Lin Yi, has proved to everyone with his own strength that he can use his own hands Earn a starting spot.Banks, who is almost 30 years old, has lost his value, so it is better to exchange for a small forward who can provide effective combat effectiveness in both defense and offense. The cash of 200 million US dollars is much lower than that of Banks $400 million worth, but at least in Riley's view it's a bargain.

If Riley wants to bring the Miami people to the podium of the NBA championship again, he will never give up any chance to strengthen the lineup. The 31-year-old Marion is definitely not one of the future team members he expects One of them, but now he can only be placed in the team's starting lineup. The contract of more than 2000 million is Riley's most powerful trading chip before the end of February.

550 million, now this is the salary space that Pat Riley can get. He doesn't know what to expect in the free agency, but he still has to try his luck.He doesn't want this season's results to be as bad as last season. Now that he has made a good start, he must keep it up. The playoffs have been away from them for a season, and the suffocating air there is All of Miami craves.

If a good result cannot be achieved in one or two years, the transfer market in 2010 is not too far away. There may not only be the names of LeBron James and YAO. It is impossible to guarantee that Wade, who is eager for honor, will not choose to leave Miami.In that case, it would be an unbearable loss for Riley. The Flash must stay in Miami, so Riley must do his best to complete the lineup for him.

Calling the agents he was familiar with, Riley began to try to find the big man he wanted from the pile of free agents who were about to be picked out. Although the hope was slim, he still had to try his luck, maybe he could find him Maybe Daobao, there will always be fish that slip through the net in the muddy free agent market.

Pat Riley has always been a guy who is good at hiding his emotions, but his secretary, Miss Trish, clearly remembers that the sound coming from Riley's office this afternoon is definitely a noise. The mobile phone was walking back and forth in his office, and loudly asked the person on the phone if it was true.

The NBA is a league where commercialization has reached an extreme, and there is nothing impossible here, just like what Riley heard from the phone now, just ten minutes before he called, the Detroit Pistons Made a very big deal with the Denver Nuggets, and the "magic operator" smelled profitable from this deal.

The denver nuggets are almost certain to send all star guard allen iverson to the detroit pistons in exchange for erstwhile finals mvp chauncey billups and veteran inside swingman antonio mcdyess , Cheek Sambu, at present, the two sides of the transaction have basically completed the negotiation, and the alliance has also been confirmed.

Riley doesn't care about the effect of the exchange between these two top guards. As for whether these two will adapt to the current team, it has nothing to do with him. Now Riley's eyes Just focus on the Nuggets' actions after this trade.

The Denver Nuggets bought out Antonio McDyess's contract as soon as the transaction was completed, so that Antonio McDyess became a free agent within minutes of the transaction.Such news is undoubtedly a huge benefit to Pat Riley.

A guy with the level of Antonio McDyess is almost the qualified inside swingman in Pat Riley's dream. This guy with extremely accurate mid-range shots is one of the few in the league whether he plays power forward or center. master.

Pat Riley knows that such a player will be targeted by many buyers as soon as he is released on the free agent market. He must start as soon as possible, 550 million or more, and even the idea of ​​paying the luxury tax has already passed. Appeared in Pat Riley's mind.

The guy who once left opponents helpless against Duncan "The Stone Buddha" in the Finals is definitely worth making Riley take all of his salary space to make this trade. Although the 34-year-old is a bit old, he can still play nearly 30 minutes in each game, and can guarantee to contribute nearly double-double data in each game. Such a big man is better than Dampier who quoted tens of millions Much worth.

Riley called Antonio McDyess' agent Andy Miller almost immediately. He wanted to express his sincerity as soon as possible. He didn't want others to get ahead of him. It's a good deal, even if the price you pay is higher, it doesn't matter.

"Hey, Andy, I think we should find a place to have a drink and chat about Antonio's future." Pat Riley's call is undoubtedly a temptation for Andy Miller, of course it is pure business After all, these agents are very aware of each team's budget quota, and there are not many teams that can offer high salaries, and the Heat may be one of them.

Pat Riley snagged Miller for $550 million over a cup of coffee, and while Antonio McDyess would love to return to the Pistons to fulfill his commitment, this deal hurts a bit His fragile feelings.

The check waved by Riley and the recent strong rebound of the Miami team have loosened Antonio McDyess's mind. The Pistons can only take out a salary of 190 million to bring back Antonio McDyess, and the performance of the Heat may be worse. Far better than the Pistons who started rebuilding, McDyess, who has always been hungry for honor, has lost confidence in the Pistons who let Billups go.

Just over a dozen hours after the deal between the two teams ended, the news of Antonio McDyess's signing was published on the Heat's official website. It took four to 10 minutes to fight. Two inside lanes with accurate mid-range shots may be the most annoying thing for many teams, not to mention there is a Wade who can enter the inside lane at any time.

Pat Riley once again proved that his wisdom is superior to many people, and his calculation skills have never been weakened. Whether he is the head coach or the general manager, his golden abacus is very accurate.

Maybe when the abacus sounds again, many people will be surprised to find that the Heat's lineup will make many people feel scared, and Riley is still so shrewd.
