Basketball Myth: Super Guard

Chapter 648 Rumors Re-emerge
The quarrel between coach Collins and team general manager Stefanski came to an end after the 76ers held a press conference to clarify.

But just one day later, when the 76ers faced the challenge of the Timberwolves at home, Coach Collins did not let Hawes start, but sent Batty.

This surprised everyone.

Batty was at a loss. He has always been a substitute, and he is already 34 years old. He will retire after playing for at most two years. He doesn't want to start, the pressure is too great.

Hawes turned pale for a while, but said nothing.

This is not an adjustment due to tactical arrangements, and even if it is due to tactical arrangements, the coach usually communicates with the players in advance, but he did not receive any notice, no communication, and just fell out of the starting list so suddenly.

Obviously, this is Coach Collins' arrangement. Everyone knows his dissatisfaction with Hawes. Wasn't Coach Collins asking the management to trade for a strong insider before?

Because of this incident, the atmosphere on the bench of the 76ers was a bit depressed, which also affected the state of the players. At the end of the game, the 76ers lost to the Timberwolves 94:104.

Qin Hao scored 20 points today, and scored 20+ again, but lost the game again, and the team atmosphere was depressed, so he had nothing to be happy about.

Hawes only played less than 10 minutes today, 8 minutes and 17 seconds to be precise, scored 0 points, 1 rebound, 1 turnover, almost sleepwalking.

Back in the locker room, the players pack their things.

Batty glanced at the door. Coach Collins was not in the locker room. He came to Hawes and comforted him: "Don't worry too much, maybe Coach Collins just wants to give you a warning and use this way to motivate you. You have a little pressure. You will still be the starter in the next game."

"Will it?" Hawes smiled wryly and shook his head.

There was no sign of this personnel adjustment today, coupled with the previous "quarrel between Collins and Stefanski", Hawes felt that he might be traded away.

It's not a good thing to be traded less than half a season after coming to the 76ers.

If a player is good, he will definitely not be traded away after being traded to a team for less than half a season. This is tantamount to saying that he is not good.

What's more, Hawes's statistics this season are really bad, only a little more than half of last season. Even though he is still very young, his prospects are not very good.

If you are traded away and you get to a new team, will people value you?
I'm afraid it will be difficult.

He has been starting for the 76ers because the 76ers are too short of insiders, but if he goes to other teams, he may be a substitute, or even a substitute for the substitute.

Not only Hawes was worried, but also Nosinho.

Nosinho is only 201cm tall. He is actually a forward, but he was traded from the Kings to the 76ers with Hawes. He also served as a starter, but later became a substitute.Coach Collins wasn't just dissatisfied with Hawes, he was also dissatisfied.

If Hawes were to be traded, he felt that he might also be sent away as an extra.

Once sent away, his situation will only be worse than that of Hawes. After all, Hawes is at least young and still has hope of turning around, but he is 31 years old.

Looking at the appearance of Hawes and Nosinho as if the end is coming, Qin Hao couldn't help but sigh, and he saw another side of the NBA.

In the NBA, there are people who are dazzling, call the shots, become the boss of the team, and even affect the management's decision-making.But at the same time, there are also some people who are struggling on the edge. They do not have dazzling brilliance, do not have tens of millions of salaries, and even the future is full of uncertainty.

"This is not something you should worry about." Lu Wei patted Qin Hao, and said: "Nba personnel turnover is very high, every year someone will come and someone will leave. Someone will become your new teammate, and there will be someone Your old teammates, even your best friends get traded away, that's what the NBA is."

"Huh." Qin Hao let out a foul breath. The relationship between him and Hawes and Nosinho is not good, and the reason why Hawes and Nosinho have come to this point has a lot to do with their own poor performance. It's a big relationship, and it's not a grievance. It just reminded him of a sentence - business is business.

From the past few decades, the word "loyalty" has been circulated in NBA, Kobe Duncan is loyal to the Spurs, Nowitzki is loyal to the Mavericks
But with the passage of time and the changes of the times, everything has quietly changed.

Qin Hao also knows that in a few years, star teaming will become the norm, and the word "loyalty" will become even cheaper.

This may also be a necessity. After all, the NBA is a business alliance, and players are the resources and money-making tools of the NBA. Only when they flow will they bring more benefits to the NBA.

"What am I thinking about?" Qin Hao shook his head and couldn't help laughing. He was still a first-year rookie, so thinking about it was too far away.

As for Hawes and Nosinho, it is not up to them to decide whether to leave or stay.

"Have you heard? The 76ers are going to trade Hawes and Nosinho, and use them for a strong insider to supplement the team's insider."

"real or fake?"

"Of course it is true. Did you read the news about the quarrel between Coach Collins and the general manager of the 76ers? It is said that it was for this matter. However, Hawes and Nosinho may be difficult to switch to a strong insider. At most, it can only change a good blue-collar player, maybe the 76ers will take some other bargaining chips? Such as draft picks, or other players."

"Will Holiday be traded together? If Holiday is added, the 76ers will have almost the same bargaining chip. They should be able to get a good insider."

"It's hard to say."

Because Hawes was suddenly kicked out of the starting list, it aroused the attention and discussion of the outside world.

People are not fools, and the media reporters are more monkey spirits. After contacting the "quarrel incident" a few days ago, the news that the 76ers were about to trade Hawes and Nosinho suddenly spread.

Even hooked up with Holiday.

Then soon there was news that the general manager of the 76ers Stefanski lost his temper in the office and even threw his beloved cigars out of the window.

Of course Stefanski would be angry, he just put down the "quarrel incident", but Collins suddenly kicked Hawes out of the starting list, how do you think the media will guess?

When did I say we were going to trade Hawes and Nosinho?

This made Stefanski very passive, with a feeling of being put on fire. In his opinion, Collins's operation was just for him to see, it was forcing the palace, inciting public opinion, and forcing him to trade Hoy Si and Nosinho, to meet Collins want to get a strong insider requirements.
