With 13 seconds and a 5-point difference, even the most tenacious team can only do nothing in the face of this situation.

Nowitzki's character is not as "soft" as his style of play, but in the face of this situation, he did not make unnecessary struggles.

Devin Harris finally scored a layup with only 2 seconds left, and did not choose to continue fouling.The Lakers sent the ball, and players from both sides shook hands and hugged one after another, ending this wonderful matchup.

On the sidelines, Ke Yan took the initiative to shake hands with Avery Johnson.

The "Little General" is someone Ke Yan admires very much. He also went from assistant coach to head coach this season. He started off with Tianhu, and the one who came up to take over was the league's top 5 Dallas Mavericks, and himself. . . . . .Well, the chances are not bad!

The lineup is not as good as the Mavericks, and it is of course a sense of accomplishment to win the Mavericks in turn.But if Ke Yan succeeds Nelson, he has the confidence to directly lead the Mavericks to the championship!

The Lakers' record came to 33-20, narrowing the gap with the Rockets (34-19) before them, and continuing to rank sixth in the Western Conference. For the team, this is a favorable ranking.However, there is still one third of the season left, and any outcome may happen. It is useless to think too much now.

The All-Star Game is over, and the trade deadline is approaching. The general managers of each team are busy, and everyone has their own ideas.

Teams aiming for the championship try to strengthen their strength through trades; mid-range teams see if there is a chance to catch up; teams on the fringes of the playoffs want to make a move; bad teams are willing to trade for immediate combat power in exchange for young players and picks.

The King Chris Webber, whom the Kings have been peddling, finally joined the 76ers. Chris Webber, Eric Daniels and Mike Bradley were sent to the 76ers, and Kenny Thomas, William Musson and Skinner.

What is surprising is the three players the Kings acquired from the 76ers.None of the three players can see Webber's taillights, and each has a long-term contract.In other words, the Kings made this deal definitely not to reduce the pressure on wages. The only purpose is to remove the team's conflicts and let the team's new leader Peja play for the team with peace of mind.

As for the 76ers, after sending away three "blue-collar" players and getting a 32-year-old All-Star power forward, the team's book strength must have improved.Webber has a shot, can play singles, and his coping ability is the best in the league. It should be a perfect match with Iverson, who has a super scoring ability.

As for the locker room problems that Webber may bring, who can turn Iverson's sky in the 76ers?

When Ke Yan chatted with Hamblen, they also talked about this deal. The two had the same views on this deal. "The strength of the Kings has definitely declined."This is a good thing for the Lakers, the rivals for the playoffs.

Considering that Jerry Buss and Kupchak don't trust him, Ke Yan doesn't expect the team to make any moves before the trade deadline.To put it bluntly, Kobe, Odom, and Butler can't move, how can the team work?Go out and fool around with Grant's rubbish contract?The team's management team will accept Grant's 3-year 4200 million contract (including this season) after being kicked by a donkey!

As a result, Kupchak really found the team management who "kicked his head by a donkey", or the general manager of the Mavericks Nelson Jr. (son of the old Nelson), hoping to use Mike, who still has oil in the tank Finley came to trade Grant.

After Avery Johnson took office, Finley's position in the Mavericks has gradually declined. Although he still occupies the main position of the team, his playing time has dropped from an average of 38 minutes to 31 minutes per game.The decline in athletic ability has gradually "degenerated" Finley into a shooter, and a shooter with weak defensive ability, which makes him not suitable for Avery Johnson's system, and he has accumulated 6400 in the remaining four years (including this season). Wan's contract is a huge burden for the Mavericks and will affect the future operations of the Mavericks.

No matter how serious Finley's decline is, at least the output can be guaranteed. Half of the teams in the league have the strength to start.Compared with Grant, it is more than 01:30 points!

But the Mavericks management is not stupid. The reason why they promoted this obviously disadvantageous deal is very simple.Not long ago, the league passed the "Alan Houston Clause": allowing a team to lay off one luxury-tax player at a time.

To put it simply, the team can pay the remaining amount in the player's contract in one lump sum, so that the player's salary does not count towards the team's salary cap.

For example, the total salary of the Lakers this season is 7500 million, Grant's salary is 1400 million, and the league's luxury tax threshold this season is 6000 million, the Lakers will pay 4200 million in Grant's contract to Grant in one go , and then by dealing with other contracts to suppress the total salary of 100 million, you can avoid paying the luxury tax.

If there is no way to send Finley before the trade deadline, the Mavericks can only choose to use the "Alan Houston Clause" to lay off Finley after the end of the season. The object of the loss was replaced by Grant, who was 3 million in two years, and Cuban saved 4800 million in one go!

At the same time, for the Mavericks with excess outside firepower and insufficient inside manpower, Grant seems to be able to make use of it. He can't compete with Bradley, at least he is stronger than Mben!

After a little consideration, Keyan immediately told Kupchak that he agreed to the deal.

After this deal, the Lakers only have Anderson, Odom, Brian Cook, Diop, and Medvedenko inside the water dispenser.If there is an injury crisis, there may even be a personnel vacuum.However, Ke Yan still agreed to this deal!

In his heart, Ke Yan is a coach who is inclined to attack and is willing to promote "small ball tactics". Finley, a top shooter with no dead ends outside the three-point line, once he can be embedded in Keyan's offensive system, the threat of outside shooting is huge.

Think about the "Atkins-Kobe-Butler-Barnes-Odom" lineup, well, the standard "offensive kaleidoscope, defensive ten thousand stabs".

As for the need to give an extra 2000 million for layoffs, that's Jeri Buss' business, and it has nothing to do with Keyan.His task is to lead the team to improve performance, and Kupchak is responsible for how much money is spent.

Other teams proposed trade plans to the Lakers, and Kupchak told Keyan that it was worth trying.Ke Yan voted in favor, and Kupchak reported the transaction plan to Jerry Buss.

"In this way, isn't our inside line too weak?" If there was no "Mim Delfino" deal, Jerebus also felt that the deal was good and the team's strength had improved, but combined with the previous Jerry Buss felt that the risk of this transaction was very high.

Jeribus didn't care much about spending an extra 2000 million yuan, the point is that it worked!

"Kimi also supports this deal. He believes that Finley can provide us with great help on the offensive end." Kupchak took out Ke Yan as a shield.

So far, Ke Yan has advocated the introduction of more players, which is not bad.Kupchak brought him out, and in the end he persuaded Bass to agree to the deal.
