Chapter 529: Warriors' Blockbuster Deal

Returning to the hotel, Yang Di suddenly received a call from Chris Mullin, the general manager.

"Yang, we're ready to trade."

"Deal?" Yang Di was taken aback, he calculated, at this time the United States should be in the morning, and Chris Mullin will not call for a general small transaction, unless it must be a relatively heavy transaction.

Mullin struggled to keep his voice steady: "God, you can't figure out which player we got, it's a really good fit for you, and I feel like we can get 82 wins next season." ”

"Aaron Iverson?" Yang Di tentatively guessed, because at the beginning, it was Iverson and the Warriors who had the most scandals, and now it has been boiling for a month, and the deal about Iverson is still unsettled.

"No, guess again." There was a smile in Mullin's tone.

"Is it Kobe?" Yang Di was taken aback, thinking that it would be good if he really partnered with Kobe, he concentrated on defending well, and the victory was easy to get.

"No, you're thinking too much."

"Is it an inside player? Tim Duncan or Kevin Garnett? Yang Di's mind is open, if he wants to be a twin towers, he needs a stable projection from a long distance, and it is urgent to complete Karl Malone's mid-range jumper training.

The more Yang Di guessed, the more outrageous it became, and Chris Mullin said shamefully: "Yang, it's too exaggerated, if the Warriors want to get these players, unless they trade you, but that's impossible, you are our cornerstone, our future, and our core." ”

"So, exactly?" Yang Di asked in a low voice, his heart was beating rapidly, and he was also a little nervous by Mu Lin.

"Ray Allen......"

"Ray Allen!"

Yang Di exclaimed, his face shocked, "How come?" I haven't heard any news at all, how did Ray Allen come over? Supersonic is actually willing to release people? Wait, what did we pay for? ”

The problem of serial artillery was also expected by Mullin, who explained unhurriedly, "You know, the SuperSonics only had 35 wins last season, and they also made a change of manager, and the team's two main players, Ray Allen and Rashad Lewis, actually had a high attendance rate, both played 78 games, which means that the team's poor record is not because of injuries, but because of the team's thinking about the team." ”

"But Ray Allen just signed a big contract last year, right?" Yang Di still felt a little incredible.

"He's 31 years old after all, and he's going to chase his dream of a championship, and coming to the Warriors is what a lot of veterans like him crave these days."

Chris Mulling paused and continued: "And you know, the starting point of Ray Allen's career was actually Milwaukee, and he didn't feel a strong sense of belonging to Seattle. Although he finished second in the West in Seattle, in the end, he didn't achieve much. ”

"Who did we send away?" Yang Di asked in a deep voice.

"We sent away LaMarcus Aldridge, Mike Dunleavy, Svetney and a first-round pick from the Knicks next year."

"Three for one!" Yang Di was a little surprised, but thinking of Ray Allen's contract of nearly $14 million, it is normal to match four players.

Chris Mullin said: "Aldridge is a pity, but there is no way, this is the player that the SuperSonics want to name, and the same is true for the first-round picks, the SuperSonics have begun to clean up Lewis, and they are ready to completely rebuild, and Aldridge is the core of the interior line they fancy in the future." ”

"Mike ......"

"We are grateful for Mike's contribution, but the only one who can match the salary is Mike, and the arrival of Ray Allen will squeeze Mike's playing time, and the starting position that Mike wants is not completely guaranteed."

"It's a shame." Yang Di's tone was a little low, although the team has been further strengthened on the surface, but in fact, it has also paid a lot of things, the NBA is originally a business field, and no one can get what they want without paying the price.

"There's going to be a trade going on, and we're going to end up with a roster of around 13 to 14."

Chris Mullin revealed the team's next dynamics, and then cared about Yang Di's participation in the World Championships, and hung up the phone in a hurry.

"Ray Allen?"

Yang Di thought about it, with an inexplicable smile on his face, did he strengthen the firepower of the outside line, but it was also good!

......

The Warriors won the championship, but there are still many experts who believe that the Warriors have picked up a leak this year.

In the first round, the Warriors' opponent was the weakest Clippers, in the second round, the Warriors' opponent was the weakest Nuggets in the second round, in the first round, the Suns and the Mavericks stumbled, and in the second round, the Mavericks knocked out the super Spurs, the Mavericks consumed too much energy, and the Western Conference Finals were inadequate.

Even in the East, the Heat broke out of the encirclement with nine deaths, defeating the Pistons, who had the best record in team history, and exhausted the physical strength of the Heat team.

In the Finals, O'Neal's state was extremely declining, Wade was unable to support himself, and the rest of the players were also in decline, and the Warriors defeated the Heat, which was still like picking up a leak.

Picking up leaks all the way to the championship, well, that's right, that's the argument of many people who are not used to the Warriors.

In fact, such arguments do interfere with the judgment of some Warriors, especially as the defending champions, the Warriors' primary focus should be to ensure the stability of the championship-winning lineup, because no one knows what kind of changes will be brought about by the changed lineup, style, routines, player relationships, locker room atmosphere, and all the chemistry is unknown.

The trade to Ray Allen was a decision made by the Warriors' uniform team after in-depth consideration, because no matter how you look at it, Ray Allen is the perfect player at the No. 2 position, who doesn't possess the ball, can defend, has mid-range, and has three-pointers.

Yang Di thought about it for a while, felt that there was indeed nothing wrong, and then went back to bed to rest.

The next day, the official website of the NBA was the first to announce this blockbuster news.

Subsequently, the official websites of the Warriors and the official websites of the SuperSonics also announced the details of the transaction, and the SuperSonics officially announced that they had entered the era of reconstruction.

Lewis is in a swing for next year, Ray Allen and Lewis' combination is too inefficient defensively, the SuperSonics have the Warriors' roster pick, and they also get a valuable draft pick (from the Knicks) next year, with a lot of experience, just as good at shooting, younger Mike Dunleavy, and a tonnage No. 4 spot whose contract is expiring, no loss at all.

But the problem is that after sending Ray Allen to the Warriors, the Warriors can form the super backcourt of Byron Davis and Ray Allen, the Warriors have already won the championship, and now their strength has reached a higher level, and the top teams such as the Mavericks and Spurs in the West are all jumping to their feet in anger and bluntly saying that the supersonic is too stupid.

The blockbuster trade swept the league, and everyone was buzzing about it.

Ray Allen himself expressed optimism and excitement in an interview with the media, "The Warriors are the defending champions, they have a mature system, I just need to put the skills and experience I have into it, and we will become a stronger team and work for a better future." ”
