Chapter 409 409. Trading Tide

The wave of transactions was out of control, and Garnett's transaction ignited this wave of transactions.

Before the Cavaliers played against the Spurs, an unlucky guy named Dion Waiters on their team was also traded. The Cavaliers and the Nuggets completed the deal, using Dion Waiters and the Cavaliers' 2015 draft picks plus the Rand Heywood's 780 million annual salary was traded to the Nuggets' Severosa and the first-round pick protected by the top five picks in 2015.

The Nuggets pardoned Haywood immediately after getting Haywood, so it was basically considered that the Cavaliers exchanged Waiters for Sefolosha.

Heywood no longer has the strength to play in the NBA, and he doesn't know where the Cavaliers took a fancy to Heywood in the summer and gave him a 780 million one-year contract.

When Liu Ren saw the news, he thought: "Sure enough, the Cavaliers still want a shooting guard who can defend well."

After all, James is already 30, and the Cavaliers will definitely find him a shooting guard who can share the defensive pressure.

It was Shumpert who was supposed to go to the Cavaliers, but this season Chambord and JR-Smith played very well in the Knicks. Both of them are not cheating when they can keep winning. The Cavaliers did not get a chance to pick up the bargain. , can only use Waiters, the No. [-] pick, to exchange for Sefolosha.

At this time, Waiters was not a later scammer. He was still the No. 12 pick in the 4 draft year. The transaction value was very high. The compensation he got was to exchange the 2015 first-round pick with the Nuggets.

The first-round pick of the Cavaliers is definitely going after the 20th pick. Nine out of ten the Nuggets are around the [-]th pick, so as long as the Nuggets are not bad enough to be at the bottom of the list, they are as lucky as the Rockets. With Yao Ming's draft pick so bad, the Cavaliers may get a first-round pick around [-]th.

For the Cavaliers, this transaction is a bit of a loss in terms of transaction value. Waiters is a genius who averaged 15+4+3 per game in the second grade, but from the perspective of the team as a whole, this transaction must be profitable. The 30-year-old Sefolosha is at his peak, both offensive and defensive ends are better than the current Waiters, and he can also help James share Irving's defensive loopholes.

Fans on the Internet are very optimistic about the Cavaliers' deal. Waiters certainly has potential, but James can't wait for his potential to be fulfilled.

Seeing that other teams are trading hotly, the Suns can't help but step in. They have a lot of bargaining chips, and three point guards with top-notch statistics are crowded there.

There are too many teams that want to get these three point guards, and they know that the Suns will definitely trade, so they are unwilling to give a particularly good bargaining chip and want to rob the Celtics like the Mavericks.

The Suns don't have a good solution for this. It is unlikely that they want to choose a profitable or equivalent transaction. They can only choose the most suitable trading method for the team's reinforcement.

The Suns finally reached a deal with the Knicks. The Knicks sent the 2015 first-round pick, Jose Calderon, and Jason Smith to the Suns for Goran Dragic!

Then the Suns reached a three-way deal with the 76ers and the Pistons.

The Pistons traded Brandon Jennings, Caron Butler and a top-five protected pick in 2015 to McAway.

The 76ers sent McAway and Tony Rothen to the Suns for Isaiah Thomas.

The Suns traded McAway for Caron Butler, the Pistons' top-five protected pick in 2015, Brandon Jennings and the 76ers' Tony Rothen.

As soon as the deal came out, public opinion was mixed.

"The Suns finally understand that the NBA is not a league that relies on stacking point guards to win. They finally have a clear idea of ​​​​building a team. Bledsoe is the starter and Jennings is on the bench. This combination of point guards is not bad."

"The Suns chose Bledsoe instead of Dragic or Thomas? Is this a brain twitch? Yes, Bledsoe has averaged 22+5+5 per game, but he is a glass man! Thomas But never injured! Dragic also proved himself a first-class point guard in the playoffs."

"The upstairs is right, but Dragic is too old, the Suns don't have the strength to win immediately, they can't wait, and Thomas Jr. is too short, it makes sense for them to choose Bledsoe .”

"The analysis upstairs is very reasonable, but the 76ers are so short of point guards, the 76ers are so short of point guards, the 76ers are so short of point guards, the important thing is said three times, why don't the Suns use two of the point guards to fight The 76ers traded for an insider or a 2015 draft pick? Next year there will be Russell, Towns, and Okafor for the draft!"

"Do you think the 76ers are stupid? Knowing that these three people will participate in the election, will they trade draft picks?"

"It's hard to say, it's hard for you to understand Xin Ji's thoughts..."

"..."

……

……

The Suns will be rebuilt, and it is clear that this will happen sooner or later, but the target of the trade surprised Liu Ren.

The Suns didn't want the Celtics' pick, but chose to trade with the 76ers, Pistons, and Knicks!

Judging from Liu Ren's known results, these two transactions are better than what he can get by trading the two in his memory, because the Celtics will lie in the playoffs in the next two years because the Eastern Conference is too bad. He is surprised that The future direction of the NBA is basically very different from what he perceives, and the advantage of that kind of foresight has become smaller and smaller.

But Liu Ren doesn't care much about these things anymore. Even if he has a prophetic memory, he only depends on his own strength if he wants to achieve his ideal and become a superstar who dominates the NBA.

Although the season has only started two months ago, he is ready to develop new technology in the summer.

In fact, Liu Ren's own skills are relatively single, and there are only two scoring methods, breakthrough and shooting.

The face-up singles can only be considered average, and the inside face-up singles only have one hand to hit the board and throw. The back hit has no other skills other than relying on strength to crush the small man. He plans to find Kobe, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, and Olaju in the summer. One of these guys learns inside skills.

In the future NBA, [-] meters tall will often play more inside positions, while taller people will have to pull out and shoot. In order to adapt to this trend, Liu Ren is ready to learn more offensive skills early on. .

But honing offensive skills is impossible to become fat in one breath.

In the summer of 2013, he practiced hard on three-pointers and recovered his three-point shooting bag. In the past summer, he practiced hard on mid-range and long-range shots.

It is very difficult to master one skill in one summer. These two skills can be practiced very well in one summer because of the foundation of training in the previous life and the excellent hand feeling of the body.

As for the face-up singles and back-up singles on the inside, Liu Ren has basically never been in contact with it before. Whether in his previous life or this body, he was a "small man" who played outside. He was really short in his previous life. Although the Liu Ren in this life was 1.9 meters There are many, but he is just a kid in the American basketball world, and he has not had much contact with the skills of inside singles.

Liu Ren is only 21 years old now, and his future career is still long. In order to deal with stronger opponents that may appear in the future, he has made up his mind to master all the skills he can master, so as to achieve the offense without dead ends like Kobe and Jordan.
