The Knicks trade happened quietly and didn't cause too many waves.

Although some say the Knicks lost, some say the Chicago Bulls lost. But overall, the magnitude of the earthquake was not large.

After all, it's a take-or-take deal. The Knicks have enriched the No. 1 position, and the Bulls have cleared the redundancy at the No. 1 position while earning an expiring contract for the first-line shooter. In addition, Chris Dujon was originally the Bulls' No. 3 point guard, and now that he is back, he doesn't need too much running-in.

It was the Orlando Magic who really made a big splash on draft night, rushing to make up after Howard lost the Finals with a dramatic injury. Send them away from Laver Alston, Tony Barty and Contney Lee, and get All-Star players Vince Carter and Ryan Anderson from the Nets.

It looks like they're going all-or-nothing for the championship. Since '07, stacking stars to win the championship has become the consensus of various teams. After all, the precedent for the Boston Celtics and the Los Angeles Lakers is just around the corner.

The Knicks reached a verbal agreement with Stephen Marbury on a two-year, $6.5 million contract extension the day after the trade was announced.

The price was even beyond Duge's expectations. He thought Marbury would take a pay cut, but he didn't expect it to be so much. With his playoff performances, it's entirely possible that he could get a three-year, $18 million contract with any team, and even more at some of the rebuilding teams that have youth teams as their team.

"I'm old, I have enough money, and I don't want to go to other cities. I love New York, I love the days I spent playing with Snoopy, with these 'frustrated'. ”

Marbury told the media in a very calm voice.

This made New York fans suddenly realize how unobjective their previous harsh criticism of Marbury was. He was never a man to put money first, he used real money for charity, he produced $30 sneakers for the street boys, and he gave the car to the team's rookie if he didn't agree with him...... Although, he did have a lot of money on the contract. But he's not alone in criticizing Kevin Garnett's huge contract that sparked a league shutdown.

Sons of New York!!

Marbury finally regained his title.

When he stood by Duge's side, no one said that he was a lone wolf with a selfish style of play. He won back the second wave of his career, which is why he stated in his contract that if Snoopy was traded, the contract would be bought out in the form of full salary.

He knew better than anyone that if Dugg left, the Knicks would soon be back to the way they were.

Donnie Walsh and James Dolan both agreed to the terms because they had no intention of trading Dugg. And... Even if the situation changes one day, such a thing really happens. 6.5 million is also not an unaffordable number.

Before heading to Asia for business, Dugg made a point of meeting with Kirkshin Ridge in New York.

Kirksynridge is a handsome and charming white man, and his arrival has boosted the Knicks' overall appearance.

Moreover, he is by no means an embroidered pillow for nothing. His style of play is very tough, and he was even selected to the NBA's second defensive team in '07. In addition, he can also produce consistent output on the offensive end, and he is very good at commanding on the court, and before Derrick Rose arrived, he was one of the few 170 club members in the league (free throws, shooting, three-point shooting combined).

If I had to give him a definition, he would probably be a weakened version of Billups.

When Kirksinridge met Dugg in the café, he quickly walked over and hugged Snoopy: "It's great to be on the same team as you." I can't wait to start my '09-10 season and I know we can do something great." ”

The white point guard, who was the leader of the locker room for three years at the Chicago Bulls' rebuilding core and five years, straightened his position when he first met: "I can do anything for you, I can even be a pitcher." ”

Dugg smiled and patted him on the shoulder and told him, "I'm not Derrick Rose. ”

Dugg and Rose were the best rookies in the '08 class of Double Yolk Eggs, but in essence. Dugg is not the kind of player who presses his teammates on the ball and allows all his teammates to match their style of play. He can be in tune with Stephen Marbury, and of course he can be in charge of the ball at the same time as Kirksynridge.

The talks between the two sides were very sincere and discussed in depth the use of various tactics.

Kirksin Ritchie played four years at the University of Kansas, and unlike the freshmen who rushed into the league... He may not be as physically as good as theirs, but his understanding of tactics is excellent. That's probably why he was able to debut with the seventh pick in the '03 draft.

After talking with Kirk Simrich.

Dugg went upstairs to meet James Dolan, who had a very complete plan. He confided to Dugg that he wanted to trade Jeffries out. He also talked about his recent contact with the Phoenix Suns, and they intend to overhaul and completely fall into the position from running and shooting. So... They even put forward a proposal to exchange Stoudemire for Zachrandorf.

Dugg did not give his opinion.

Jeffries had an impressive performance in the playoffs just past, and his wing defense and off-ball cuts helped the team a lot. Although the arrival of James Johnson will be part of his role. But emotionally, Duge was reluctant to let go of his comrades-in-arms who had fought with him.

As for Zach Randolph, although there were some contradictions in the style of play between the two sides in the last two games, Duge believes that there is still salvation.

"As you get more and more versatile, we really don't need the singles players who consume the ball too much."

As Dugg left the office, James Dolan said something meaningful.

Far from being an idiot, Doog stepped out of the locker room.

He could understand his boss's thoughts and hidden motives in the depths.

Currently, with Stephen Marbury signing a mini-midrange, the Knicks' salary space is much healthier. But Jeffries, Eddie Curry and Zach Randolph are still big baggage for the long haul.

Eddie Curry has struggled to trade out, although his performance has seen some resurgence in the playoffs. But what fool would eat a big fat man with an annual salary of fifteen million, but who can only attack three axes? Unless you catch Snoopy, it's possible. But... At the moment, it's impossible for the Knicks to trade Snoopy.

So, James Dolan's eyes were locked on Jeffries and Zach Randolph.

He wants to use Jeffries to make a trade with the Golden State Warriors, breaking it up for Azubuike, Anthony Moreau, and cash.

And trading Zach Randolph to Phoenix can get D'Antoni's favorite general, and he is also the leader of the Mesozoic generation at the power forward position. And most importantly... Stoudemire's contract expires in the summer of 2010, which will undoubtedly give the Knicks uniform team more operational flexibility.

For James Dolan, the bigger plan now remains 2010.

However, deep down, Duge didn't want to change the existing team structure too much, and this team finally gathered morale and combat effectiveness. In the NBA, there is a classic saying: Never break up your winning team. Even if it costs more money for it.

For Dugg, he never wanted to give up a season's results to do a structural rebuild, because he couldn't tolerate those guys who said cool things to take advantage of the situation to ride on the head of the Knicks, and he still wanted to sweep the East next season, completely capture those haters, and break their mouths!
