Chapter 490: Trading Inventory
With the fate of Howard's big fish determined, the rest of the teams have accelerated the pace of reinforcement, and all kinds of small fish and shrimp have also been caught.
Speaking of which, this summer of 2013, although it was not as shocking as James announced his decision to bring his talent to the South Coast, many transactions were indeed eye-catching, and some of them could be said to be earthquake-level!
That's right, it was an earthquake, and those large-scale transactions in Qin Yan's memory still happened this time, although there may be some changes in time, but the specific content is not much worse.
Among them, there are several transactions that Qin Yan is very concerned about, the first is that the Rockets take Howard, this deal will directly change the situation in Texas in the future, the popular saying in Texas - "The Rockets are strong, the Mavericks are weak, and the Spurs are old." "In the original history, there was a part of it that actually came to pass in the years following this transaction.
At least, it is a fact that the Mavericks later became the bottom of Texas, and the Rockets made a 3:1 shocking reversal to reach the Western Conference finals, which can be regarded as a strong team.
As for the Spurs, Leonard has later evolved into a master of both offense and defense like Joe's gang, how can it be bad.
What's more, now, with Qin Yan, a person who is more offensive and more like Jordan, Leonard estimates that the direction of evolution will become Pi Erye, and there is also a young inside general, the strength of the Spurs is only strong but not weak.
Let's take a look at some of the most notable big deals.
The first trade that caused a seismic level was the Green Army and the Nets.
The Green Army Celtics, after losing one of the Big Three, Ray Allen last season, are struggling to support the team by Garnett and Pierce.
But it's helpless, both of them are old and injured, and the Green Army can only be supported in the east, and it's time to change fresh blood.
The big deal, which involved a total of eight people and three draft picks, is as follows:
The Green Army sent away Team Spirits Pierce, Garnett and Terry "Jet" Terry, acquired the Nets' Humphries (big brother-in-law), Gerard Wallace, Bogans, Joseph and Marshon Brooks, as well as the Nets' 2014, 2016 and 2018 first-round picks!
This deal is terrible, the Nets have gambled their future all at once, and the Pierce and Garnett in exchange are no longer at their peak, and only the last bit of glory of the past remains.
But there is no way, the Russian boss of the Nets is arrogant, he just wants to make his whole team make up an All-Star level starting lineup (that is, the starters have all participated in the All-Star Game), I have to say, he did it!
The starting lineup of the Nets next season is obvious, Lopez, Garnett, Pierce, singles Joe and De Xiaopang, if this lineup is at its peak, it is indeed terrible, but now these five people, in fact, are old and injured, only the former name is still there, and I don't know what the owner of the Nets thinks.
Anyway, in Qin Yan's eyes, the so-called "Big Five" has no deterrent effect at all, although many people think that the Nets also have the ability to compete with the Heat in the East and have a chance to win the championship, but Qin Yan does not regard them as opponents.
And the Green Army, even the team spirit for many years has been sent away, they are destined to be silent for a few years again, Rondo is not the kind of player who can take the team to the peak by himself, or rather, Rondo's offense is so bad that he can only play a supporting ......
And on the western side, in addition to the Rockets' takeover of Howard is big news, there are two other teams that are also big moves.
The first thing to talk about is the New Orleans Hornets, yes, that's right, they changed their name to the New Orleans Pelicans, I don't know what the Pelicans are, right? It is a kind of water bird with a long beak, and the lower beak shell is connected to the skin to form a large skin sac, and it is the one I saw in cartoons when I was a child that flew in the sky and then used the big skin pouch of the lower beak shell to carry things.
I don't know why the Hornets changed their name, anyway, after changing their name, the core of many of their teams is Anthony Davis, who pressed Qin Yan to become the champion last year, and he has shown the qualifications to become a top interior lineman. Then this year, the Pelicans used the No. 6 pick to win Noelle, who was nicknamed "American Akagi", this is a big center, and the combination of him and Davis was originally quite exciting, but for some reason, the Pelicans traded Noelle and exchanged All-Star point guard Holiday from the 76ers!
In this way, the Pelicans' lineup next season is the future super interior Davis, three-point anti-aircraft gun Anderson, the peak Evans when he debuted, "Jordan's youngest son" Eric Gordon (in "Air Slam Dunk", Gordon played Jordan's youngest son when he was a child), Holiday has just arrived, this lineup is also very reasonable, there are outside and inside, there is organization and main offense, and the future of the Pelicans looks bright!
But Qin Yan knew that it would take them a long time to grind, and except for Davis, the others basically didn't play......
The only team left in the West to make a big move was the Clippers, when the Lakers were a bit of a tiger in the Pacific. The Clippers have accelerated the pace of grabbing power, for them, the most important task this summer is to play "Captain" Paul, without Paul the Clippers want to dominate Los Angeles is a dream!
Thankfully, they succeeded!
Not only did they successfully make an appointment with Paul, but they also invited Rivers, the head coach of the Green Army, to come over!
Moreover, although the Clippers sent away Billups, Butler, and Bledsoe, they took Paul's former backup Darren Collison, three-point master JJ Redick, and defensive mad dog Matt Barnes through trades and signings.
As you can imagine, in the next 2013-2014 season, the Clippers have no small ambitions.
Although I'm embarrassed to say that the goal is to win the championship, Paul's guaranteed goal is definitely to reach the Western Conference Finals and fulfill his dream.
Of course, the Spurs themselves have signed, first renewing Split's contract for 4 years and $36 million to ensure the thickness and height of the interior line.
Then, one of the GDP, the FMVP of last year's Finals, the legendary veteran Ginobili, also signed a two-year, $14 million contract with the team, Ginobili is 35 years old, and it is no surprise that he will retire with Duncan and Parker for the rest of the Spurs, and maybe even retire with Duncan.
The Spurs have never had too many reinforcements, which is already an international practice, not to mention, as long as the current roster remains healthy, the Spurs will be strong, and they may not even need the opportunity to strengthen.
In the last month of preparation, all teams have been prepared, and the journey of the 2013-2014 season is about to begin!
Can emerging forces rise to the top?
Can James get his revenge?
Can Spurs defend their title?
Can Qin Yan become a first-class superstar?
It's all here, in the near future! 21010
