Chapter 737 Summer Heavy One
Yang Di stayed in Nosy Be Island for more than half a month, facing the sea every day, and the spring is warm and the flowers are blooming.

The Warriors were forced to trade Derek Fisher, the point guard line was in a hurry, Baron Davis came back, and still can only rely on Monta Ellis and Baron Davis to support this Wire.

Monta's point guard is a helpless move. In fact, his organizational ability is basically zero. In the Warriors, as a point guard, there is basically only one way to assist, which is to break through and score the ball.

Monta Ellis is really suitable for the position of shooting guard. After discussing with Chris Mullin, Montgomery began to look for a suitable substitute on the league's point guard line.

In late July, the league suddenly revealed the trade of Timberwolves star Garnett.

NBA official website announced that the Minnesota Timberwolves and the Los Angeles Lakers completed the transaction.

The Timberwolves sent out star Kevin Garnett, who had played in their team for 12 years, declaring a complete overthrow and reconstruction.

In the scramble for Garnett that has been raging for a summer, the Los Angeles Lakers finally got the lead and got the superstar.

In the early days, the Chicago Bulls, Phoenix Suns, Boston Celtics and many other teams were bound to win Garnett. Later, the Suns were the first to withdraw from the competition. Among the remaining teams, Kyle The Specials and the Lakers are the most active and the easiest to get Garnett.

Garnett has the right to veto trades, and Chicago can be considered a big city, but the Chicago Bulls are bleak. Richardson is very capable, but it seems that he has not yet reached the level where he can win the championship. Ben Wallace is older than him. How many years are left for the powerful insiders to reach their peak is the hardest thing to judge. It is likely that, like O'Neill, they will regress if they regress.The last thing Garnett is inclined to do is to go to Chicago and form the so-called version of the Big Three.

The Rockets intervened for a while in the mid-term, but the Timberwolves insisted that McGrady would not let go, and the Rockets didn't want to trade McGrady, so the deal fell through.

The reason Boston and Los Angeles are in a hurry is that the leading stars all have the intention of leaving.

Especially Kobe Bryant, the team's strength is not good, and the playoffs were swept away. At the beginning of the summer, he handed the team a list of interested teams, hoping that the team would trade him.

The Lakers supported and nurtured Kobe for so many years, and when Kobe was at his peak, how could Kupchak trade Kobe, so he had to find reinforcements. In order to get Garnett, he was willing to lose almost everything except Kobe.

Celtics ended up with Al Jefferson, Gerald Green, Theo Ratliff, Ryan Gomez, Sebastian Telfair, the next two first-rounders Draft picks and some cash, 7 for 1, blocking the future of the team.

The Lakers are similar here, Lamar Odom, Kwame Brown, Vujacic, Farmar, Smush Parker and two future first-round picks, 6 for 1, because Odom and Kwame -Brown's combined salary is close to 2000 million U.S. dollars, and the Lakers trade cash is equal.

The Timberwolves are holding on to Jeff Green, the No. [-] pick selected by the Celtics this year, but the Celtics are a little bit reluctant to part with such a talented young man. The Lakers have no outstanding young people. The Timberwolves will choose the star of the year.

The Timberwolves are more inclined to trade with the Celtics, but the initiative is in the hands of Garnett, who has the right to veto the trade.

Garnett finally decided to cooperate with the Lakers, and the two sides conducted more in-depth negotiations on this.

In the end, the NBA official website announced that the Lakers sent Lamar Odom, Kwame Brown, Vujacic, Farmar, Smush Parker, Luke Walton and Smush Parker and two future draft picks , 7 for Garnett and 1 person.

The Lakers are a big gamble. Among the young players, only Bynum survived. Half of the starting team last season were all traded out, especially Lamar Odom, who averaged 15.9 points, 9.8 rebounds and 4.8 times per game last season. Assists, comprehensively won the title of left-handed magician, full of talent.

Lamar Odom is very disappointed. He just bought a villa in Los Angeles. The Lakers turned around and sold him. He is 28 years old and is in his prime. He doesn't want to leave Los Angeles, let alone go to the cold Minnesota to participate in the game .

"I didn't expect to be traded at all, but this is business, there is nothing to say." When Odom was interviewed by the media, his depressed expression was beyond words.

Yang Di immediately called to comfort his friend. When Odom was in the heat, he and Yang Di formed a good friendship, and the two have always been in contact.

"It's too cold-blooded. In order to get Kevin, we put all of us on the shelf. I played for the Lakers for two years, and they didn't appreciate it at all."

Odom complained, feeling very uncomfortable.

"The Timberwolves are also very good. The Timberwolves are in a period of reconstruction. They have not had a core in the past few years. If you are in the past, you will be their core. Play well next season. I think you can surprise everyone. For example, when you are selected All-Star game or something."

"It's very difficult to be selected for the All-Star Game."

"If you can play 20+10+5 data, it will become relatively simple."

"That's Kevin Garnett's data... Brother, this is very difficult." Odom himself didn't have much confidence, thinking that Yang Di thought too highly of him.

"Actually, it's not bad. You can score 16 points now. 20 points means scoring 2 more goals. According to your current 50% shooting rate, you only need to take 4 more shots. Every night . 10 rebounds and 5 assists are not far behind you. Next season will increase the possession of the ball. It will definitely be possible. Then your next contract will be very big. Is your contract coming soon?"

"It expires in 09, and there are two more seasons."

"Yes, this is the best time for you to make money. The Timberwolves' reconstruction is not something that happens overnight. Take advantage of this period of time to sell out your worth, and you will have more initiative in changing teams in the future." Yang Di said.

After Odom heard it, it seemed that this was the reason. In this way, it would be a good thing if he couldn't stay with the Lakers anyway?

Garnett has a good relationship with Kobe and Pierce, but he still recognizes Kobe's killer nature in his heart, especially in the past two years when Kobe led the team alone, he became like a god. It is now recognized as the number one in the league.

Garnett weighs the pros and cons. With the Celtics without any reinforcements, going to the Los Angeles Lakers is the best choice at the moment.

This piece of news became the most important theme throughout the summer of 07.

Los Angeles has formed the "KK" combination, and its strength has approached the period of three consecutive championships again. What it needs to do now is to modify and run in every corner around these two people.
