Chapter 690: Small Deal, Big Gain
Although little Nelson felt very pitted, Qin Yang didn't look for any good superstars, and actually found two unknown players.
However, the Mavericks' trade was done quickly.
Vince Carter signed and traded, and the Grizzlies, Suns, and Heat made a four-team big trade, and the result was that the Mavericks traded Vince Carter and next year's second-round draft pick to get PJ Tucker and James Ennis.
Vince Carter was not dissatisfied.
In an interview, Vince Carter admitted that it was his choice:
"I've had a good time in Dallas, I've won championships here, but I don't think I'm old enough to keep playing, so I chose to try it somewhere else, Sun City is a great place to be, I want a fresh start, and I wish the Mavericks good results in the future."
It's good to gather and disperse, and there is nothing wrong with it.
In the past two seasons, Vince Carter's tactical status has become lower and lower, and in the first season of the championship, Vince Carter still contributed a lot, but in the past year, Vince Carter's playing time and statistics reached an all-time low.
If it's a veteran who is preparing to retire, of course, no problem, but Vince Carter still wants to play and want to make sure he has playing time.
So, the conflict between Carter and the Mavericks cannot be resolved.
At this time, signing with a two-year 1200 contract, and then trading Carter to a team that can play, is good for both parties.
Vince Carter doesn't have to leave directly, so he can be regarded as a contribution to the Mavericks.
The Mavericks got the role players of the season.
After that, the Mavericks did not move, Francisco Garcia retired, and soon signed a coaching agreement with the Mavericks, Garcia will become a member of the Mavericks' defensive coaching staff, and Marion will retire directly.
With the addition of Vince Carter, the Mavericks instantly lost three people on the perimeter, but with the addition of James Ennis and PJ Tucker, the lineup was replenished.
Immediately afterward, the Mavericks completed the contract extension operation.
Seth Curry and Cosby have both renewed their contracts, and Cosby is old and doesn't want to play as the main player in other teams anymore.
It's not too long to play the main team at this age, and it's better to lie down and win the championship in the Mavericks.
Neither of them has a big contract.
One 3 million, one 3.5 million.
The other balls either can't give a big contract, or the contract is about the same, and the two are unwilling to go. Staying with the Mavericks is such a familiar welcome, if you can win the championship, why go.
Of course, in the end, what fans are concerned about is that Thackeray has finally extended his contract with the Mavericks after grinding and chirping.
1+1 base salary, with a team option for the second year.
Although the event was abandoned the following year, Thackeray was still happy on Twitter: "Love Dallas, I want to live here for the rest of my life." ”
Chinese fans have ridiculed that as long as the towel is waved well, millionaire is not a dream.
Thackeray really doesn't have the impression of these two seasons, except for waving a towel on the bench and stealing the show, Thackeray is a salted fish.
Completely salted fish.
But Thackeray is a winner in life, earning millions a year with a wave of a towel, and endorsements, envying a group of NBA players.
Most NBA players, until they retire, may not have an advertising endorsement.
A player who can have an endorsement is either at least a star, or has a personality and flies up.
Thackeray falls into the latter category.
After this trade, the Mavericks signed Jokic, last year's second-round pick for another four years and 5.5 million. The big European man is very good in the eyes of Nelson Jr., who bluntly says that he can be Novitzki's successor.
Qin Yang didn't have time to read this evaluation.
After resting in Australia for a while, Qin Yang flew to his hometown of western Henan. Here, the parents are ready, and Qin Yang and Lily will get married here.
The wedding was low-key and took place in the countryside.
Even in order to maintain order, Qin Yang had to ask the security company to separate the media from reporters. After getting married, Qin Yang flew to Australia with his family for a vacation.
It wasn't until mid-October that Qin Yang slowly came to Dallas.
This summer, Qin Yang had a very comfortable time.
After the playoff confrontation, Qin Yang was tired all over, and if he didn't take a good rest, he really couldn't stand it.
From October 1st to 14th, it is the pre-season of the season.
But Qin Yang did not participate.
It wasn't until the 16th that Qin Yang came to the training room.
In the training room, Dirk was trying to play a black man who was very short and strong, and the black man was trying hard to defend but couldn't do anything.
"Hey, Bruce!"
Dirk took the initiative to say hello, Qin Yang also waved his hand, and then stretched out his hand to the short black man next to him: "Tucker, welcome to the Dallas Mavericks." ”
"Oh, thank you Bruce, I'll play well." PJ Tucker was visibly surprised.
Although there were a few opportunities to match up last season, Qin Yang really remembered him as a nobody, and PJ Tucker was very happy.
Qin Yang came, and other people in the team also gathered around to greet Qin Yang.
There are three newcomers to the team this year, Jokic, PJ Tucker, and James Ennis. However, because three people have left, the lineup of thirteen people is not bloated.
Qin Yang is here, and the tactical training within the team can begin.
Although there has been no systematic training for two or three months, when he was resting in Australia, Qin Yang did not dribble less, and he didn't feel rusty at all.
As soon as the tactical training in the team began, Qin Yang felt that something was wrong.
This year's bench team is very strong.
The starters were Gobert, Nowitzki, Qin Yang, Rudy Gay, Cory Brewer, Cosby, Al Jefferson off the bench, Jokic, Livingston, Seth Curry, PJ Tucker, James Ennis.
According to common sense, the starter can easily win the bench.
But the quality shown by the substitutes is really superb.
PJ Tucker and James Ennis are both excellent 3-and-D players, and although they don't have a lot of life, they are both super strong.
As role players, the two are qualified.
And on the bench lineup, the core is rookie Jokic.
Jokic played well in the preseason, averaging 19 points, 8 rebounds and 7 assists per game, which scared a lot of people.
No one expected that last year's second-round pick would be so explosive after joining the Mavericks.
The speed and power are not top-notch, and the defense is not strong enough, but Jokic's defense is not bad, and most of the time this positional defense-oriented defense is very effective.
On the offensive end, Jokic is almost omnipotent.
Three-point, mid-range shooting are quite level, strong inside attack, low-post singles are also good, and the strategy and passing are even more impressive.
Jokic really dared to play, even if he was a rookie and young, but he began to command his teammates without humility on the court.
The bench players, under the leadership of Jokic, condensed into a rope and played very well.
But...... The main force still won.
In terms of experience and cooperation, the main force is a complete substitute, even if the substitute plays amazingly, but it mainly fights with heart, not an opponent.
