Kwame Brown's Freshman

Chapter 44 Post-Transaction

(The second golden finger was opened. Carter was actually given to the net by the Raptors almost for nothing in the summer of 04, but it was delayed until now because of Kwame. But where is the first golden finger?)
The next day was not over yet, Kwame came to the team.Woke up Kupchak, who had just fallen asleep in the office after being tired all night and didn't even have time to go home.

When it knew the bargaining chips used in exchange for Kidd, Kwame swears!Too bad!Nima, this is definitely Chiguoguo's robbery!
This is Jason Kidd!In Kwame's mind, he is the most powerful point guard besides Magic Johnson.No point guard can be as good as him except Magic!
He is the kind of person who can change a team in an instant, just like Steve Nash this year.

Compared with Nash, Kidd may be better. At only 6 feet 4 inches, he grabs more rebounds than most of the main insiders.

He is as comprehensive as the Magician, and his personal offense may only be able to shoot three-pointers, and he is not very accurate.

But his strong playmaking might be the best ever.Even Magic Johnson, who has the highest assists per game in history, may not be as good as him.

You rarely see him attacking with the ball, but you find that the offense is launched from him.You don't see him on the ball, but he leads the field in assists at the end of every game.

You don't know when he got so many assists, just like you don't know how he led the Nets, which was the bottom of the league with 26 wins and 56 losses in the previous year, to 52 wins in the second year. The Dongdu champion is average.

The magician at least has a bunch of strong teammates, that is, 2 top picks plus a best defensive player Cooper as a foundation, Nash at least has Stoudemire, Joe Johnson, and the league's number one small forward Sean Ma lyon.

You really can't find anyone next to Kidd, who has won two consecutive Eastern Conference titles. The best guess is Kenyon Martin, who left Kidd for a big contract.But the 17+10 data turned into the 14+7 data shows the importance of Kidd.

By the way, Kidd's ability to block when helping his teammates grab the board is a must.His defensive ability can also liberate Kobe, and the two have been occupying the defense for a while in the past two years.

In exchange for such a super point guard, only Luke Walton, Marcus Dost, Stanislav Medvedenko, Zhumene Jones, Brian Cook, Devin- George!There are also two first-round picks that have absolutely no chance of entering the lottery.

Popovich was the first to speak out, "This is pure robbery! When I heard the news, I hoped that the league would veto this unequal deal, but I was disappointed."

Not long after Popovich spoke, Pat Riley hit back, "I think Mickey is really good, really good. He is like Jerry, they are as good, although we are opponents, but I have to say that they did a good job, just like when they got Shaq. I learned a Chinese proverb that it is better to be jealous of other people's time than to do your own thing." Of course, at such a time, he must come out and say a few words to lay a good foundation for future robbery.

This conversation is happening all over the league.Before twelve o'clock last night, at the last moment of the trade deadline, the news announced by the league made all the team managers who were busy making the last effort collectively put down their work and cursed the "Los Angeles Robbers".Then came the words "New York idiot" or "Orlando idiot" or "Toronto idiot".

It was too shocking!When my family was looking for a deal for minor repairs, the Lakers fooled four idiots into offering one of the two best point guards in the league without saying a word.

Kupchak received a call from the Magic manager last night, with the purpose of trading Francis. They estimated that the Lakers would agree to this request, because they wanted to pack Hill's rubbish contract for nothing else.

Upon hearing the news, Mickey's eyes suddenly became as big as the mouse named Mickey.

This world is really amazing, when you just want to sleep, someone gives you a pillow!

With Nelson and Turkoglu's magic, what they want most now is to send Hill and Francis away. They only need Luke Walton.They didn't fancy his skills or anything.He's just a knockoff of Turkoglu.

What they want is to clear the salary space and build a relationship with Bill Walton, and attract a super center to be a teacher for Howard. Ewing rejected the invitation of the Lakers and came to the Magic due to money reasons, but Howard is completely unsuitable for Ewing. Guidance, so they hit the old Wharton's idea.

Mitch immediately sent a message to the Knicks, wanting to exchange Francis for their draft picks. Coach Thomas, who has always had fun collecting All-Stars, immediately agreed to this tempting idea and was willing to give away the 05 draft picks.

In order to match the contract, the Knicks and their captain, Alan Houston, who was plagued by injuries and wanted to retire, reached a post-trade buyout agreement. The Magic also accepted the idea, but they had to send Pat Gary, who was a purely garbage contract. Thomas, eager to get All-Stars and Curry, readily accepted.

Thus, the Lakers and the Magic, Knicks, and Bulls completed a four-party deal!

The Knicks sent captain Alan Houston, Anfernee Hardaway, rookie Trevor Ariza, and the 05 first-round pick to get Steve Francis from the Magic and Pat Garrity from the Bulls. Eddie Curry.

The Bulls sent Eddie Curry and got the 05 first-round pick from the New York Knicks, Brian Cook and Devin George from the Lakers.

The Magic sent Steve Francis, Pat Garrity, and Grant Hill to get Luke Walton from the Lakers and Allan Houston from New York.

The Lakers sent Brian Cook, Devin George, and Luke Walton to Grant Hill from the Magic, Anfernee Hardaway from New York, and Trevor Ariza from New York.

Mickey asked that this news not be announced for now, because he has bigger things to do!
He immediately called the Raptors and the Nets. The two teams were also anxiously waiting. Two hours ago, Mitch suddenly called to say that a deal was in sight.

Fortunately, the Nets did not reach an agreement with the Lakers in advance, but the Raptors have notified Carter to leave the team. If the deal falls through now, the consequences will be very serious.

Finally, the three-team trade was completed, and the Lakers sent Anfernee Hardaway, Marcus Dost, Stanislav Medvedenko, Zhumene Jones, plus the 2005 draft pick from the Lakers, and A 2007 first-round pick from the Lakers.Got Jason Kidd from the Nets.

The Nets traded Jason Kidd for Anfernee Hardaway from the Lakers and Vince Carter from the Raptors.

Raptors traded Vince Carter and got Marcus Dost, Stanislav Medvedenko, Jumene Jones from the bluff plus a 2005 draft pick from the Lakers and a 2007 first-round pick.

Once the deal was announced, it attracted worldwide attention.Especially in China and the United States, there was a complete sensation.

From the book, if the Lakers get together, Kidd + Kobe + Hill + Odom + Kwame.Nima, this is the start of a dream team!No wonder Popovich wanted to scold her.

They had just planned their plan to win the championship this year, and Kobe's injury provided another layer of protection for them. Now the Lakers' strength has suddenly risen, which directly drove him crazy.

The artillery fire slowly began to spread from the Lakers robbery, and in the end, all five teams that traded with the Lakers were involved.But the Lakers shut their mouths knowingly.

Eventually, the much-anticipated Stern stepped in, but instead of vetoing the deal as they had hoped, he announced that a vote would be required on the new rules.

The Magic united 6 or more teams and submitted a proposal, that is, the contract in one team can be cut every year, and the player will be paid the player's salary every year after that, but it will not be included in the team's salary.

After the player is waived, he can join any team by himself, which is also the condition that Allan Houston is willing to accept and sign the buyout agreement.

These managers who had been arguing just now stopped suddenly, and they didn't expect to be able to veto this transaction, they just put some pressure on other managers.

Now this vote is about their pocketbooks.It's much more important than what happened just now.

The management in the league has never been short of bullies. They often sign some rubbish contracts. The result is that the salary exceeds the standard and sends money to the league.If you want to lay off them, but the salary after the layoff still has to be included in the total salary, it is tantamount to giving away money for nothing.Ever since, there are always some teams that start players who are obviously not as good as the substitutes.Use 2000 million people a year as a substitute?You thought you were Knicks?

Almost all the top teams in the league pay the luxury tax, except, of course, the Knicks.

However, the weak teams are also very supportive. As for the fact that the league has to take out some of the luxury tax collected to distribute to teams that do not exceed the salary cap.But they don't care about the money.What they want is more cap space.

The benefit they get from this proposal is that they can trade with teams with junk contracts when they need salary space, so as to obtain more salary space in order to attract big-name free agents in the summer.

The Magic exchanged two junk contracts for a junk contract with a similar salary. It seems meaningless, but it is actually for the present.

In the end, the proposal passed completely!After the contract was signed by the chairman of the players union, the Magic first waived Alan Houston, who had not yet come to the Magic.So this article was named after the Houston article when it was stored in the archives.
