The Legend of Small Steel Cannons in the NBA

Chapter 149 Trading Rumors
After packing up the two fish belly, the next morning, the Raptors rushed to Texas non-stop, because the game against the Grizzlies was at noon, they had to prepare early.Kyle didn't know that New York had bombed, and it could even be said that there was a collective orgasm.

Uncharacteristically, New York's large and small media newspapers are full of praise for Kyle. To sum it up in four words, tall, mighty and handsome, super awesome, and amazing.What?It was said before that Kyle has a fat mouth, a fat man, a scumbag, and a murderer. Have you ever said that?How can it be!It's purely framed, absolutely nothing.Their love for Kyle has become a beautiful song for people to listen to affectionately.

In such a situation, it was the "smiling assassin" Thomas who made the news and had communicated with the Raptors to ask Kyle for an offer.Concurrently announced nervously that they are willing to pay any bargaining chip as long as they want Kyle, and they are willing to choose anyone in the team, even willing to swallow a few rubbish contracts from the Raptors.As for the truth of the news, the New Yorkers believed it anyway!
A rookie who has played four games, did not hesitate to lose all his money, is it true?What if there is water?Most expressed doubts or disbelief.Others claim that it's worth it, that Kyle's reputation has been guaranteed all the way from college, the cornerstone superstar looks full, and he is only 19 years old, which is completely worth the gamble.As for believe it or not?Of course, I believe that Thomas has made a lot of crazy transactions in the past two years.

New Yorkers absolutely believe it!People need fantasies, even if they are self-hypnotic fantasies.The Knicks are bad enough, nothing could be worse.And Kyle's appearance is good, what if he becomes a superstar?And now Kyle is proving himself, the Raptors with him and without him are two completely different teams.have him!The sun is still dry, without him!Fish belly can also lose without temper.certainly!Kyle's quality will soon be tested. In the Southwest Division trip, if Kyle can escape unscathed, then he is quite a godhead, and it is more worthy of trust in Kyle's strength.

There is a lot of noise outside, is that true?It is indeed true. Brown returned to New York after losing, and recalled Kyle's maturity and toughness, calm mind, smart style of play, selfless and just right sharing of the ball, and outstanding talent. Compared with Marbury, a lone wolf, The latter couldn't be worse, the old man almost drooled and salivated.Thinking of doing it, the old man immediately had another in-depth conversation with Thomas, understanding the reason, and emotionally describing how good Kyle is, how he has your demeanor back then, and so on.Of course Thomas was very familiar with Kyle. Now that he listened to it, he found the video tape and studied it carefully. He felt itchy and immediately called McCloskey to discuss it.

At the beginning, Thomas was still reserved, not as exaggerated as people said.The bargaining chips are Marbury and Roger James, as well as David Lee, and then send a second-round pick for Kyle and junk contract man Antonio Davis.The reason why Thomas is so determined is that Kyle is really attractive and has a superstar appearance. Secondly, the team is hard to win, and the voice of spraying him is everywhere. No matter how much James Dolan favors him, he has to make It's not about grades.Thirdly, the bastard Marbury is very rude. He often comes over to talk to him, point fingers, and feel a little disrespectful to him.To put it bluntly, it is straightforward, but it is not big or small.When he brought Marbury to New York, Thomas was under pressure. He wanted to do a big job and bring superstars to New York. Although Marbury played very uniquely, he was born in an authentic Brooklyn neighborhood and was young. New Yorker.As soon as the home slogan was shouted, the New Yorkers were collectively excited. Since the gorilla retired, they had been looking forward to the superstar for too long, and they were still satisfied when a big fish came.

But the situation has gone wrong. Last year, they still couldn't make progress and firmly occupied the lottery seats.People are pretty patient, it takes time to run in the lineup!This year, we brought in a champion coach, a few strong players, Nima!Seems worse than last year.This made the picky New Yorker upset, and the voices of cursing kept coming and going, and Thomas was the first to bear the brunt.So Kyle came into Thomas' sight, desperate to make a change and put the team on the right track.

When McCloskey received such a list, he thought he had heard it wrong!Is this pie in the sky?With Kyle, you can get an All-Star who has proven himself, buy one get one free, and there are draft picks.It would be a lie to say that Kyle has only played four games, which doesn’t explain too much. McCloskey has been worried that Kyle’s only high-profile performance, which must not be his real strength. As the season progresses, Kyle’s shortcomings If it is exposed, it will finally show its original shape.But Marbury is different. Although he is independent, he has unique capital, and his strength has been verified by the market.Moreover, this year's salary cap is 4950 million games, and the amount that triggers the luxury tax is 5671 million US dollars, while the total salary of the Raptors is 5804 million, which is more than 130 million US dollars.

As we all know, if the team ignores the existence of the luxury tax and crosses it, then the team will suffer severe penalties.The first penalty is that the entrusted money will not be returned to the athletes, and the second penalty is that the team must pay a luxury tax of one dollar for every dollar spent beyond the luxury tax.If the team is more than 1000 million US dollars, it will also have to pay 1000 million US dollars in taxes.These two penalties go hand in hand, and the potential penalty is that 10% of the players' money will be confiscated. The players will naturally scold their mothers, which will affect the unity and stability of the team.

Timothy has been emphasizing the control of salary. It is certain that he does not want to spend money. If his record does not improve, he still has to pay money. What a fool!But speaking of stupidity, there are really two teams, the New York Knicks and the Portland Trail Blazers. These two buddies have stupid money on their faces. The total salary of New York this year has exceeded 7000 million US dollars. Not bad, the total salary is 500 million.The Raptors are not so chic, they have to firmly control their wallets, not too much, of course not less, if less than a certain target, then the gap has to be made up, not to the league, but to the team Players split equally.

Now that the Raptors' salary has exceeded the standard, McCloskey wants to save money. Now this big fool in New York is here to send warmth. McCloskey thinks it is feasible, and Pep Suo can also consider sending it away.This will not only save money, but also have their own star players, and the draft picks can also be exploited one or two more.But Kyle was personally selected by the boss Timothy as the core. Although he is the general manager, he dare not make decisions without authorization.In this way, McCloskey resisted the urge to make a shot. He was waiting, waiting for Kyle's trip to the Southwest Division.If it is really like entering the land of no one, killing the enemy and killing the generals, then it is better not to trade. Kyle's superstar potential still makes McCloskey reluctant.If Kyle's performance is a little off, it would be practical to pull the brakes and let him go.

And Kyle, who came to Texas to prepare for the war, finally received the wind. Allens came to discuss with Kyle in person, and the rumors outside were already raging, and it was completely spread.

"Kyle! The situation is not right, you have been put on the shelf." In a quiet coffee shop, Allens reported the news. "I called McCloskey after I knew the rumors and asked him to clarify the rumors, but the guy just told me not to worry and said there was absolutely no such thing, but his tone was wrong and his attitude towards me was also problematic. Express or declare that he at least already has the intention to trade you."

"And then? Let me yell at McCloskey? Bastard! Villain! Come on Ellens, it's nothing, nothing happened, right?" Kyle didn't take it seriously, it was going to rain, mother was going to get married, stop He can't be stopped, he is not Kobe, he has the right to veto the transaction, so he can only resign himself to fate.If he was really traded, Kyle wouldn't say anything, if he doesn't stay here, can he hug his thigh and cry, I don't want to leave?is that useful?

"We should make plans early, such as what will happen to New York? Your location and status."

"They are willing to trade me with Stephen. Of course, they have cultivated me as a star. There is no need to worry. I think New York is also good. It has a big city, a big market, a big contract, and a big exposure."

"You are so cheerful, okay! It seems that I am worrying too much." Aarons was helpless. "Good condition, keep it up."

"Of course!"

Kyle was very moved. Because of a rumor, Allens came here with a comforting attitude. The original choice was not bad.

After chatting about Sheila again, Kyle felt relieved when she learned that the operation of the little princess went well.certainly!The money for the operation was lent by Kyle to his buddy.Back at the hotel, when he learned that Sam was looking for him, Kyle smiled wryly. It seems that the rumors are not just rumors, but they may become true.

Sam was very annoyed. He just called McCloskey to confirm that he was really interested in this product, and many teams had asked for the price.The old man cursed on the spot, and the two insisted on their own opinions, argued for a while, and then broke up unhappy.The team has just started to improve, and they are thinking about trading, and it is the team's engine and core Kyle, what a stupid person can do it.McCloskey is a pighead in Sam's eyes, idiot!It's specifically here to sabotage and disturb the morale of the army.Other teams swarmed here as if smelling honey, rushing to snatch this treasure. If they are not good players, will there be so many people snatching it?Even a guy who doesn't know the ball knows the truth, McCloskey is so stupid, he is still complacent and thinks he is taking advantage.

Kyle went to Sam's room and saw that the old man was still furious, Kyle got a little comfort in his heart.Hearing this news, it is false not to lose, and being traded means that he is not good enough, so good that the top management of the team listens to it.

Sam just comforted Kyle with a gentle voice, telling Kyle not to worry, he would never allow such a thing to happen unless he got out.What can Kyle say?Pledge allegiance to the death with gratitude.
