NBA villain

Chapter 515
Back at the hotel, Yang Di suddenly received a call from general manager Chris Mullin.

"Yang, we are ready to trade."

"Deal?" Yang Di was taken aback. He calculated that it should be in the morning in the United States at this time, and Chris Mullin would not call for ordinary small transactions, unless it must be a relatively heavy transaction.

Mullin tried to keep his voice steady: "God, you must not think of which player we got. This is really a player that fits you very well. I feel that we can win 82 wins next season."

"Allen Iverson?" Yang Di tentatively guessed, because at the beginning, Iverson and the Warriors had the most scandals. Now that it has been raging for a month, the deal about Iverson is still not settled. .

"No, guess again." There was a smile in Mullin's tone.

"Could it be Kobe?" Yang Di was taken aback, thinking that it would be good if he really partnered with Kobe. He concentrated on defense and won easily.

"No, you're thinking too much."

"Could it be an inside player? Tim Duncan or Kevin Garnett?" Yang Di's mind was wide open. If he wanted to be the twin towers, he would need a long-distance and stable shot to complete Karl Malone's mid-range shot. Distance jumper training is urgent.

The more Yang Di guessed, the more outrageous, Chris Mullin said with shame: "Yang, it's too exaggerated. If the Warriors want to get these players, they must trade you, but that is impossible. You are our cornerstone. It’s our future, it’s our core.”

"So, what is it?" Yang Di asked in a low voice, his heart was beating rapidly, and Mu Lin also made him a little nervous.

"Ray Allen..."

"Ray Allen!"

Yang Di exclaimed, with a shocked expression on his face, "How come? I haven't heard the news at all. How did Ray Allen come here? Supersonic is willing to let him go? Wait, what did we pay?"

The problem of serial guns was also expected by Mullin. Mullin explained calmly, "You know, the Sonics only won 35 last season, and they also changed coaches. The two main players of the team, Ray A Lun and Rashad Lewis actually had a high attendance rate, both played 78 games, that is to say, the poor record of the team is not due to injury factors, but a problem with the team's team building thinking."

"But Ray Allen just signed a big contract last year?" Yang Di still felt a little unbelievable.

"After all, he is 31 years old. He wants to chase his dream for the championship. Coming to the Warriors is what many veterans like him desire."

Chris Mulling paused and continued: "And you know, the starting point of Ray Allen's career is actually Milwaukee. He doesn't have a strong sense of belonging to Seattle. Although he won the second place in the Western Conference in Seattle Achievements, but in the end, not much achievement."

"Who did we send away?" Yang Di asked in a deep voice.

"We traded away LaMarcus Aldridge, Mike Dunleavy, Sweetney and next year's first-round pick from the Knicks."

"Three for one!" Yang Di was a little surprised, but thinking of Ray Allen's contract of nearly 1400 million US dollars, it is normal to match four players.

Chris Mullin said: "Aldridge is a bit of a pity, but there is no way. This is the player that the Supersonics call for, and the same is true for the first-round pick. The Supersonics have begun to clean up Lewis, and they are ready to rebuild completely. And Aldridge Qi, is the core of the future insiders they fancy."

"Mike..."

"We are very grateful for Mike's contribution, but only Mike can match the salary, and the arrival of Ray Allen will squeeze Mike's playing time, and the starting position Mike wants cannot be fully guaranteed. "

"It's a pity." Yang Di's tone was a little low. Although the team has further strengthened on the surface, in fact, it has paid a lot. The NBA is originally a business field, and no one can get what they want without paying a price. something you want.

"There will be transactions in the future, and our final lineup will remain around 13 to 14 people."

Chris Mullin revealed the team's next developments, and then cared about Yang Di's participation in the World Championships, and hung up the phone in a hurry.

"Ray Allen?"

Yang Di thought for a while, with an inexplicable smile on his face, strengthening the firepower of the outside line, it is not bad!

The Warriors won the championship, but many experts still believe that the Warriors missed this year.

In the first round, the Warriors’ opponent was the weakest Clippers. In the second round, the Warriors’ opponent was the Nuggets, the weakest in the second round. The Mavericks knocked out the super-powerful Spurs, and the Mavericks consumed too much energy. The Western Conference Finals were powerless.

Even in the East, the Heat broke out of the siege with a narrow escape. Defeating the Pistons with the best record in team history exhausted the Heat's physical fitness.

In the finals, O'Neal's state declined extremely, Wade was alone, and the rest of the players were also in decline. The Warriors defeated the Heat, and it was still like picking a leak.

All the way to the championship, well, yes, this is the argument of many people who are not used to the Warriors.

In fact, such arguments do interfere with the judgment of some Warriors, especially as the defending champions, the Warriors' primary focus should be to ensure the stability of the winning lineup, because no one knows whether the changed lineup will be What kind of changes will be brought about, the style, routines, getting along with players, the atmosphere of the locker room, and all the chemical reactions are unknown.

The trade to Ray Allen was a decision made by the Warriors uniform team after in-depth consideration, because no matter how you look at it, Ray Allen is a perfect player in the second position, does not occupy the ball, can defend, and has a mid-range , with three points.

Yang Di thought about it for a while, and felt that there was nothing wrong with it, and then went back to bed to rest.

The next day, the NBA official website took the lead in announcing this blockbuster news.

Subsequently, the official websites of the Warriors and the Supersonics also announced the details of the transaction, and the Supersonics officially announced that they have entered the era of reconstruction.

The future of Lewis next year is uncertain. The defensive efficiency of Ray Allen and Lewis is too low. The Sonics got the Warriors' second pick, and at the same time won the precious draft pick (from the Knicks) next year. They have rich experience and are also good at shooting. , the younger Mike Dunleavy, and a tonnage-level No. [-] whose contract is about to expire, it's not a loss at all.

But the problem is that after sending Ray Allen to the Warriors, the Warriors can form a super backcourt of Baron Davis and Ray Allen. The Warriors have already won the championship, and now they are even stronger. Lou, the Mavericks, Spurs and other top teams in the West all jumped angrily, bluntly saying that the Sonics are too stupid.

The blockbuster trade swept the entire league, and everyone was talking about this deal.

Ray Allen himself expressed optimism and excitement when accepting the media, "The Warriors are the defending champions and have a mature system. As long as I integrate my technology and experience into it, we will become a stronger team. , and work hard for a better future."
