Basketball Myth: Super Guard

Chapter 1125 Brothers join forces
Detroit.

In the apartment, Butler was leaning on the sofa, and American dramas were playing on the TV screen, but he was not interested at all, his eyes were lost, as if he was sleepwalking.

Butler has been in a bad mood these days.

Although he had been mentally prepared for a long time, he still felt uncomfortable when he learned that he was put on the shelf and might be traded by the Pistons.

"We still have to be traded after all." Butler whispered to himself.

Just then, the phone rang.

Butler recovered from his chaotic thoughts, picked up the phone, and jumped up after hearing only one sentence: "What did you say? The 76ers?"

The call was made by an executive from the team's management, one of the few people who had a good relationship with Butler. He told Butler that the 76ers were in contact with the Pistons, looking for a trade, and wanted to use Brand to trade him.

How to trade Butler doesn't care, what he cares about is the 76ers.

After hanging up the phone, Butler's mind was still buzzing, and his mood was very complicated.

Although Qin Hao didn't call him, he could guess that there must be Qin Hao's relationship here. Otherwise, why would the 76ers want to trade him?
There are many options for the 76ers, and he is just a second-year player who has just experienced an injury and even his own team has concerns about him. Why?
"Alright, if you can go to the 76ers, you can play with Qin again." Butler exhaled, he didn't really have any affection for the Pistons.

It seems to be good now.

It's just that Butler soon got news again that the Pistons rejected the 76ers' proposal. They were not satisfied with the conditions of the 76ers and didn't want Brand.After all, where is Brand's situation, and his salary next year will reach 1800 million US dollars, which is completely a hot potato.

In fact, the 76ers are not surprised by this result.
The value of Brand's transaction is indeed not high. The 76ers are already suspected of "throwing the pot". As long as the Pistons are not fools, they will not agree to this plan.

The 76ers then revised the plan, using Brand, plus a future first-round non-lotter pick, to trade Butler.

The Pistons turned it down again.

This time the Pistons put forward their own conditions. They hope to get Leonard and Lu Wei, plus a future first-round pick, to trade Butler.

This was obviously the lion's big mouth, and Stefanski refused without even thinking about it. He felt that Leonard + Lu Wei were at a loss, let alone a draft pick.

Don't do it.

After that, the two sides began to argue, one asking for a lot of money, and the other paying back the money on the spot.

Seeing that the 76ers and the Pistons simply stepped in and ran to make trouble for Butler's ink, the Mavericks and Hornets jumped out and joined the competition.

This made Butler very anxious. He didn't want to go to the Mavericks or the Hornets. Who knows what would happen if he went, whether it would be the same as the Pistons, or worse.

Butler immediately told the Pistons that he only wanted to go to the 76ers, and I only love my good brother!
In the end, after some wrangling, the 76ers revised their trading plan, and the Pistons also nodded in agreement-the 76ers sent Brand + Holiday, plus a future first-round non-lotter pick. The two second-round rookies in the draft, namely Justin Hamilton with the 45th overall pick and Tony Sanguilia with the 54th overall pick, were packaged together and sent to the Pistons to get Butler from the Pistons.

This is tantamount to a 4 for 1, and also catches a future first-round non-lotter pick.

But there is no way, the Pistons don't want to take Brand's plate, and the 76ers want to get rid of Brand's contract and clear up salary space, so they have to pay some price.

Another point is that regarding Holiday's deal, the 76ers adopted a sign-and-trade, first signed a four-year $4 million contract with Holiday, and then sent Holiday to the Pistons.

This can be regarded as a compensation for Holiday, which means that he got a big contract in advance. Although he was traded to the Pistons, at least he doesn't have to worry about his own contract.

The reason why Holiday was sent away, not anyone else, was because of Holiday's own wishes, apart from needing a valuable bargaining chip.

Now that the 76ers have Qin Hao, Holiday can only be used as a substitute. He is not willing to be a substitute all the time. He is still very young. He wants to make a breakthrough. If he goes to other teams, he will have the opportunity to become a starter. There will be more opportunities to play, and more opportunities to show their talents and strengths.

For this reason, Stefanski also specifically discussed with Qin Hao.

Qin Hao also chatted with Holiday, and finally had a "sign first, then change" and sent Holiday away.

Qin Hao also understands Holiday. In the memory of his last life, Holiday left the 76ers and went to the later Pelicans, where he was firmly established as the starter. A few years later, he got 5 million in 1.31 years Big contracts for dollars.

But if he stays with the 76ers and serves as a substitute, it is impossible for him to get a five-year contract of 5 million yuan, and his talent may also be buried.

So, sending him away is not a bad thing.

The deal between the two parties was quickly concluded. Brand, Holiday, Justin Hamilton, and Tonick Sanguilia were sent to the Pistons, and Butler became a player for the 76ers.

After this deal, Butler moved to Philadelphia. Qin Hao had a quick meeting with him, and then had to leave.The team's lineup has been basically determined, and Butler has also come to the 76ers. Next, the team will sign those free agents and Qin Hao does not plan to intervene. It must save some face for Stefanski.

In addition, the London Olympics will be at the end of July. The Chinese men's basketball team has already started training. Qin Hao has already delayed a lot of time and must return home.

Philadelphia, airport.

Qin Hao is about to return to China, and Jiang Xue will also go back together. There are some domestic affairs that need to be handled by him, one is some affairs of domestic investment company branches, and the additional investment in "ByteDance" needs to be discussed by her in person.By the way, I also went back to see my family. She hadn't been back for a long time.

Those who came to see him off were Butler, Xiaoka and others.

"Go back." Qin Hao waved to everyone.

"Qin, take care all the way." Butler and Qin Hao hugged, and finally said "thank you".

Qin Hao patted Butler on the back with a smile, and said to him: "I know your strength. When I come back, we will work hard together next season. I believe we can go further."

Butler also smiled and nodded heavily.

A plane soared into the sky, and Butler, Kaka and others also left the arena. Butler did not return to his apartment, but went directly to the training arena with Kaka.

This summer, he is going to spend in the arena. He wants to improve himself and make himself stronger, because he can't let Qin Hao down, and he has to prove himself.
