Everyone was arguing, because the Iverson trade involved a wide range of people, and no one dared to make a decision easily, so after the second round of the draft was over, Chris Mullin and others rushed back to San Francisco overnight to hold a high-level meeting of the uniform team.

Yang Di was also invited, and it turned out that the Warriors were very likely to get Allen Iverson through a trade.

His eyes widened in surprise, Iverson was actually going to be traded? His first reaction was that the general manager of Philadelphia was crazy? Allen Iverson, one of the best scorers of all time, averaged 33 points per game in the league last season, and there are few people who can limit him.

If it weren't for the crazy Kobe, Iverson would have a high chance of becoming the scoring champion again in any year.

Yang Di thought about it very calmly, how did he feel a little inappropriate, but he couldn't say why, so he called his friend, Michael Curry.

Michael Curry ended his playing career with the Indiana Pacers last year, and then with his court-directed talent and superb understanding of tactical thinking, he was appreciated by Pistons head coach Philip Saunders and invited him to become an assistant coach of the Pistons.

The Pistons had the best record in their franchise history last season, and Michael Curry was instrumental.

Michael Curry was also surprised after listening to Yang Di's words: "Although the information that Iverson proposed to trade has popped up on the rumor board now, I didn't expect that the Warriors are also one of the potential buyers of the 76ers." ”

"So I want to ask you what you think, Iverson, he ...... Is it really for a warrior? ”

"I think the proposition of your sentence is very interesting, Iverson doesn't care if he is suitable for the Warriors or not, he should be suitable for you and Byron Davis first."

Michael Curry hit the nail on the head and said: "This year, the combination of you and Byron Davis won the championship, and you and Byron Davis are not very old, in the next few years, Chris Mullin will definitely build a team with you and Byron Davis as the core, and any other player who comes, the first thing to adapt to is the style of play of the two of you." ”

"For example?"

"For example, you and Byron Davis' two-man pick-and-roll offense, wing pick-and-roll offense, and low-post air-cut runs, none of these ....... are suitable for Iverson."

Michael Curry continued: "And if Iverson comes to the Warriors, he and Byron Davis will definitely have to lower each other's ball time, if both are pass-based stars, it doesn't matter if they are both pass-oriented stars, but both are scoring-oriented stars, Byron is slightly better, but Byron's projection ability is not strong, what the Warriors need is a wing player who can shoot and defend, hasn't Chris Mullin already made similar remarks?" Why are you ready to change now? ”

Yang Di was said by Michael Curry, and suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, indeed as he said, the defending champion, how can he start to use a knife against the team as soon as he won the championship, and overturn the previous idea of building a team?

But he thought about it, what Michael had said.

"Hey, Michael, you're so worried about Aaron Iverson joining us, isn't it also because of his attacking ability?"

Michael Curry laughed twice: "Truth be told, Young, it's true. If Allen Iverson goes to your Warriors and partners with you, our Pistons will meet you, and the odds of winning will drop several notches, because you know, our Pistons are a defense-oriented team, and what we are most afraid of is the kind of players who are particularly strong in tearing up the defense, and our lineup can't open up space and match you. ”

"But if you play a team like the Mavericks and the Suns, where defense is the mainstay and offensive projection is a big proportion, it will be very difficult to play."

Yang Di thought about it, and this is indeed the truth, the Warriors do not lack scoring points, what they lack is wing defense.

In this year's playoffs, except for the second-round defense encountered a scoring wing like Carmelo Anthony, the other Clippers and Mavericks have not been encountered, Wade is a backcourt, and he is similar to Byron Davis, and in terms of ball style, it is basically the Warriors who overcome others, if Iverson arrives, the offense will become stronger, and there will be a lot more targeted defense and offensive arrangements for others.

Pay for one's whistle.

He had a close chat with Michael Curry about the development of the team, and Michael Curry did give him a lot of constructive advice.

The two hung up the phone, and it didn't take long for general manager Chris Mullin to take the initiative to call Yang Di.

"Young, we have discussed the Allen Iverson trade carefully, and we think it is still a bit too risky, for the sake of team chemistry, the Allen Iverson trade still needs to be carefully considered, we will not make a decision lightly, but if a decision is made, we will definitely notify you as soon as possible, and I hope to get your opinion."

"I know the general manager, I think we have to wait a little longer, LaMarcus, Danny, I think these young people are very good, if you give up the future for the sake of the present, what will happen in the future, is a question worth pondering."

"That's right, negotiations are still ongoing, free agency is about to begin, and our top priority is to renew Mike Dunleavy first."

……

The World Cup in Germany is underway and has already reached the quarterfinals.

Yang Di is a fan of Spain, and his favorite star is Raul, who met France in the quarter-finals, and Spain, who have been in great form recently, were unanimously favored before the game. In the 13th minute after the kick-off, David? Villa opened the scoring for Spain, but a less experienced Spain were unable to maintain their lead, with Franck Franck Ribery equalising just before half-time, before Vera and Zinedine Zidane scored in the 83rd and 90th minutes respectively to give France the lead.

Spain actually lost 1-3 to the French team, which made Yang Di particularly worried.

Yang Di also invested 50,000 US dollars in Spain, betting that they would be the champions of this year!

A few days later, the World Cup reached the quarterfinals, with four teams including Germany, Italy, Portugal and France qualifying.

In the NBA, the free trade market is officially opened.

On the first day of the game, the Warriors officially announced that they had reached a contract extension agreement with Mike Dunleavy.

Mike Dunleavy renewed his contract with the Warriors for 5 years and 45 million, and in the playoffs last season, Mike Dunleavy first suppressed and then improved, and in the Finals against the Heat, he shined.
