Build a Dream Dynasty

The Lakers or the Clippers, if the players are left to choose, any fool will know which one to choose. Gasol has been selected to the best team in the past two years. Using him as a bargaining chip to pull three-way trades, there is always someone willing to join. For example, the Texas Xiaoqiang Houston Rockets actively participated in the transaction. Their goal was Gasol, who the Lakers were willing to give up, while the Hornets were reluctant to take over.

Gasol and Whiteside's interior looks quite bright, and the team can also use this to increase its appeal in the free agency market. The Rockets are willing to send Scola, Martin, plus a 2012 first-round pick, a high-probability lottery pick that has a certain appeal for the Hornets. The three-way trade plan was quickly approached. The main plan of the deal is that the Hornets send Paul, get Lamar Odom, Martin, Scola, the Lakers' draft rights for next season, and the Rockets' draft rights for next season. The Lakers sent Odom, Gasol, the draft right next season, and got Paul, while the Rockets sent Martin, Scola, Dragic, the draft right, and got Gasol.

It seems to be a deal that takes what they need. Although the Hornets suffer, but Paul is determined to leave, and next season is a player option, it seems that there is no more favorable bargaining chip. However, the trade did not settle for a minute, and the Hornets still had the opportunity to bargain. They continued to wrestle with the Lakers, hoping to get the rookies that the Lakers selected in the past two years, and at the same time dump Okafor in the team. To the Lakers, Kupchak clearly refused.

After lingering for a long time, the trade plan was finally settled. The three teams handed over the trade plan to the alliance together. Only after the alliance issued a notice, the transaction was completed.

Los Angeles Times reporter Steve Kyle tweeted that he believes there is an 85% chance that Paul will be wearing the Purple and Gold by next Tuesday.

However, Gilbert, who plays the role of a scumbag in the management, will not easily spare these "big city teams". When the deal was reviewed in Stern's hands, an email was sent to his mailbox. , in the email, detailed all the advantages the Lakers took in this deal, including the league's first point guard, salary expenditure of 20 million in the next three years and luxury tax of 20 million (if there is no follow-up signing) salary space A special case (which can be easily involved in the follow-up Howard trade) and proposed that the Hornets' deal should be jointly decided by the other 29 owners in the league, because the league used everyone's money to temporarily acquire the Hornets.

The lockout of the league this season is the result of the accumulation of various contradictions. Among them, the formation of the Miami Big Three last year definitely accounted for a large part of the reason. The hard-earned superstars waved their sleeves without leaving a cloud, which had too much impact on small city teams, and the strong performance of the Big Three also destroyed the competitiveness of the league, especially the East. When Paul joins the Lakers, it is very likely that this problem will be extreme again. The Hornets and even the Magic will once again become the satellites of the Lakers. This is a situation Stern does not want to see.

Stern, the owner of the Hornets, came forward to stop the deal and stated "basketball reasons."

One stone stirred up a thousand waves. Such an trumped-up "basketball reason" directly embarrassed all the three teams involved in the transaction. Paul was very dissatisfied with his failure to go to the Lakers as he wished. Compared with Gasol, who prefers to live in Los Angeles in New Orleans, he is fortunate. Odom's mentality almost collapsed, and the relationship between Scola and the Rockets also happened Subtle changes.

Either don't make a move, and do it as soon as you make a move! In less than half a day, under the promotion of Stern, the Hornets reached a deal with another Los Angeles team, the Clippers. The Clippers sent Eric Gordon, Kaman, Aminu and the Timberwolves 2012. The unprotected first-round pick was traded from the Hornets to Paul plus two second-round picks.

While rejecting the Lakers' idea of ​​restarting the trade, they also followed Paul's wishes and traded him to the big city Los Angeles as compensation. The combination of Paul, Griffin, and Jordan seems to have begun to have the strength to fight against the rival Lakers in the same city. The addition of Paul has greatly increased the Clippers' attractiveness in the free market. Former All-Star small forward Caron Butler, who was crowned with the Dallas Mavericks, signed the Clippers for a "low price" of 24 million over three years. With the combination of Paul, Griffin and Jordan, it must be a force that cannot be underestimated in the league.

Soon, the Nets' rivals, the Knicks, also added fire to the Clippers. In order to free up salary space to sign Chandler, the defensive pillar of the Dallas Mavericks, the Knicks started the amnesty clause that had just been reached in the labor-management agreement. Billups pardoned, then signed Tyson Chandler. Anthony, Stoudemire, Chandler, and the Knicks formed the strongest frontcourt combination in the league.

The humiliated Billups said that he would join the Heat with a minimum salary after the clarification period. He must give the Knicks some color to see~www.readwn.com~ At the same time, he warned other teams in the league not to try to claim it during the clarification period. Otherwise, you will choose to retire.

However, the iron-clad Clippers did just that, and made Billups shout "really fragrant" and joined the team contentedly. On the one hand, Paul told Billups that he would end next season. After the implementation of the player option, he will stay with the Clippers for at least two seasons. On the other hand, the Clippers promised Billups and will give him a "big" contract after the season, and the team hopes to keep him.

"The West is really getting stronger." In his spare time, Jiang Mingliang mentioned this when chatting with Stevens.

After Jordan retired, the West is strong and the East is weak has been formed for a long time. As Jiang Mingliang said, in the Eastern team, the Eagles are the dividing line between strong and weak teams. The team ranked behind the Eagles will meet the Western team. not very good.

It is not reflected in a certain team, but the old and tough Spurs, the Thunder with hard talent bugs, the Nuggets with amazing lineup thickness, the Grizzlies who have just completed the miracle of the Black Eight, the still-strength Lakers and the new rise. The Clippers, this competition, is simply brutal.

"It is true that some teams in the East are too flashy." Stevens sighed.

Just like the Knicks, the three players in the frontcourt don't match up at all. To put it badly, if you replace Stoudemire with Anderson, it is probably more coordinated.

Howard's transfer farce has officially begun, coupled with the decline of other players in the Magic team, the fall of the Magic team seems inevitable. It's hard to imagine that Bobby Simmons, who the Nets gave up last season, is relatively reliable outside the Magic. defender. If the Nets continue to improve last season, the Eastern Conference Finals should be a very realistic goal.

Of course, whether it is Jiang Mingliang or Stevens, the goal is not only that!
