NBA Building Cardinals

Chapter 169 Finalize the deal (reward and update)
"Another rookie? Kapono has been playing very well so far. If you want to trade, you can definitely trade for a rookie with a higher pick. So will we suffer a bit??"

"After all, one has already been cultivated, and we have to re-cultivate the other."

Although Smith still agrees with Liu Rui's vision.

But every time I speak, I still feel that I can't keep up with the rhythm.

I always feel that Liu Rui has a different idea in his head than others.

"Don't worry, from a long-term point of view, we will definitely make a profit from this deal, and Kapono was the No. [-] pick in the second round last year, and he is only four or five picks behind Martin."

"But the stats that the two have played so far are quite different, although I would like to let the Kings get another second-round pick."

"But if I remember correctly, the Kings haven't had a second-round pick in the past two years."

"Even if we only traded for one Martin, we would definitely make a profit, but since they took the initiative to come to the door, if they can make more money, they will naturally make more money, so I agree with this deal very much."

Originally, Liu Rui was still thinking about whether he wanted to bring Martin in, but he didn't expect the Kings to find his side first.

Since the Kings don't have time to train rookies, leave this task to themselves.

Although Kapono was traded away, Liu Rui was very reluctant. After all, Kapono's three-point shooting skills are very stable.

But compared with Kevin Martin, Kapono is obviously still a few grades behind.

Peak Martin has 25+4+2 data.

The scoring firepower is also ranked first in the league.

Although after this deal, the Bobcats will inevitably be associated with people with stupid money.

But Liu Rui never cared about this view.

After all, these experts don't understand bullshit, and they can only spread rumors indiscriminately for a day.

"Okay, I know what's going on."

Liu Rui has recently led the Bobcats all the way, and the record of leading the team is obvious to all in the entire league.

This made Smith very fortunate. Fortunately, he had no brains to veto Liu Rui's two transactions at that time, otherwise the Bobcats would not know how bad they would be at this time.

April 12

The Bobcats had a new deal, and they actually used Kapono, the team's three-point leader, to replace an unknown rookie of the Kings.

During the entire transaction, Kapono exchanged Kevin Martin + $200 million in cash.

After this transaction happened, Charlotte really ushered in the abuse of many fans.

I think the management of the Bobcats has simply fallen into the eyes of money, and every transaction seems to bring cash.

Before this deal, I am afraid that most people in the league have never heard of Kevin Martin's name, and although Kapono is very poor on the defensive end.

But in the Bobcats' system, Kapono has already made a name for himself with three-pointers.

So far this season, Kapono has averaged 25 points, 13 rebound and 1 assists in 1.4 minutes per game, and leads the league in 52 percent of his three-pointers.

In contrast, Kings rookie Kevin Martin averaged only 7.3 points and 2.1 rebounds in 0.8 minutes per game.

This transaction also made the media unable to understand. Now the Bobcats are in full swing, and the team ushered in a wave of winning streak.

Indeed, before the next game against the Rockets, Kapono, the team's three-point leader, was sent away, but a rookie was exchanged.

Although due to Ariza and Du Hong's previous affairs, many media have restrained a lot this time.

But this does not prevent the so-called experts from jumping out to discuss the Bobcats, thinking that the management of the Bobcats only wants to make money and profit, without considering the future of the team.

He sold his team's three-point leader for $200 million, and instead traded for an unknown rookie.

But the difference is that this deal is only circulated in a small area, because today, the league ushered in a deal that shocked the league.

The Raptors sent the team's leading star, the flying man Carter and Alonzo Mourning, Aaron Williams, Eric Williams and two future draft picks to exchange owners, airborne New Jersey Nets.

卡特本赛季截止到目前，场均出场35.6分钟，能够贡献23.6分4.3篮板3.9次助攻1.1次抢断的全面数据。

Once the deal was issued, it caused a sensation throughout the league.

Although the conflict between Carter and the management has long been irreconcilable, this is not a secret in the entire league.

Everyone thought that the Raptors would trade Carter, but when the deal came, half of the league was still moved.

Because this deal also means that the entire Eastern Conference will face a reshuffle.

From then on, the Nets will truly rank among the strong teams, and even have the qualifications to challenge for the championship.

Carter's airborne also allowed the Nets to form a Big Three lineup of Carter, Kidd, and Richard Jefferson.

This set of offensive and defensive lineup will not only directly improve the strength of the Nets, but also make the Nets' attention soar.

After all, Carter is synonymous with popularity flow.

Now coupled with the Nets that have formed the Big Three, it is bound to make achievements in the East.

In addition to this deal, the league has some big and small deals, but none of them matter.

With the addition of Kapono, the Kings will only become more difficult in the future, and the Nets even have the possibility of rushing out of the East.

This makes the alliance that has stabilized seem to be covered with a veil of mystery.

April 12

Kapono and Kevin Martin switched clubs.

Before leaving, Kapono was very reluctant and invited everyone to have a meal together, crying like a child.

Finally, because the time was up, I got on the plane to Saramento and started my new career.

And the night before Kapono left, Liu Rui chatted with this young man for a long time.

Because Kapono is the one actively pursued by the Kings, and under Adelman's hands, this kind of shooter can exert great power.

So you don't have to worry about not having playing time when you come to the Kings. After all, compared to rookies, Adelman prefers the kind of complete players who already have their own style.

And with Webber and Bai Miller who are top-notch in the interior, Kapono will even have more shots when he gets there.

The only thing to worry about is his defense. After all, Kapono's defensive ability is not only bad, it can be said that he is poor.

The main reason is that his physical fitness is really too bad. It can be said that he is at the bottom of the league in all physical test data, so these things completely limit Kapono's defensive line.

Without the defense of Wallace and Ariza, Kapono's defense will definitely be more targeted.

But this is how it is in this alliance. In the face of absolute interests, loyalty seems to be worthless.

Not to mention the players, even Liu Rui himself will face the risk of dismissing get out of class at any time.

Just like a person's life, you never know what will happen in the next second...

　Trying to update, want a monthly pass...
