Chapter 331: The Great Warrior Deal
The transfer market is getting more and more lively. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
On August 2, the Heat, Celtics, Grizzlies, Hornets and Jazz made a super big trade of 13 players in five teams.
The trade was the largest in NBA history, with the Heat getting Anthony Walker, one of the Celtics' twin stars, Jason Williams, "White Chocolate" Jason Williams and small forward James Posey from the Grizzlies, and the Grizzlies getting Eddie Jones from the Heat.
The trade is the biggest news since the Heat continued to Joo Neal in the summer.
Then the Lakers made a move, Caron Butler and Atkins were sent by the Lakers to the Wizards, from which they traded Kwame Brown and Profitt, and at the same time, the Lakers signed free agent Smush Parker.
With the promotion of the NBA to the world, the top management of the NBA league has paid more and more attention to the huge Chinese market.
This is a piece of cake to be developed, and the rise of Yao Ming and Yang Di has set off an NBA craze on the entire Shenzhou continent, and many people have fallen in love with the NBA and basketball.
Nike has a keen sense of smell and promotes its products in the NBA in a timely manner, while at the same time carrying out NBA star tours in China.
In fact, the commercial event is to find some fans to come over, and then the stars and fans interact, through bullfighting, three-on-three, five-on-five challenge activities, so that fans and stars can get close to each other. At the same time, in the process of promotion, some products will be displayed, and the stars will also answer some questions from fans and hosts.
Yang Di stayed at home for a week and then flew to Beijing.
On his way to Beijing, Yang received a message about a trade for the Warriors.
After getting off the plane, he turned on his mobile phone and received it, and suddenly, he was surprised!
The accompanying staff members obviously also received the news, looked at each other, and then looked at Yang Di.
"Beijing time on August 11, NBA news."
"The Warriors, Knicks, and Bulls complete multi-person trades."
"The Warriors sent core players Jason Richardson and Troy Murphy to the Knicks as second-year Trevor Ariza, this year's No. 30 rookie David Lee, third-year Michael Swaitney and center Tyson Chandler, who just signed a multimillion-dollar contract with the Bulls."
"The Knicks got the Bulls' star insiders, Eddie Curry, Antonio Davis, and the Warriors' Troy Murphy."
"The Bulls got Kurt Thomas (11+10 in '04-05) for the Knicks and Jason Richardson for the Warriors."
The strength of the Knicks, who have got a number of interior players, has greatly increased, and Troy Murphy can contribute 15+10 data before Yang Di rises, even if Yang Di broke out last season, Troy Murphy still has 12+8 data, and can average 3.7 assists per game, which is a rare technical delicate type in the interior line. Eddie Curry, known as the Little Shark, was able to score 16 points last season and represents the traditional offensive interior, while Antonio Davis is a seasoned veteran.
The Bulls are also good, getting Kurt Thomas, who averages 10+10 per game, and Jason Richardson, a guard swingman who is still in his prime, who averages 21 points per game.
The only thing worth mentioning in the seemingly traded trade is the Bulls' young interior lineman, 23-year-old Tyson Chandler, who was an extremely good blue-collar player who had 6.1 points and 7.7 rebounds in 22 minutes last year.
So, to make up for the Warriors, the Knicks generously gave away their team's first-round picks in '06 and '07, unprotected.
The Warriors asked for a bunch of youngsters and draft picks, and with all three rookies drafted this summer signing, the team has truly become a Praetorian Guard in the West.
The Knicks' operation is rated A+, the Bulls also have an A, and the Warriors have only a B.
Richardson and Murphy are equivalent to getting back two draft picks and a bunch of young people who haven't proven themselves much, such an operation can only be said to be unknown, the only thing that can be determined is that Mullin and the top management of Golden State are determined to hold Yang Di, with Yang Di as the core.
Yang Di watched the news while walking, and couldn't tell what it was like in his heart.
To be fair, Richardson and Murphy had a decent relationship with him, and when he first came to Auckland, both of them helped him a lot, even telling him which garage was more professional in repairing cars.
It's a pity that after a long time, many things will change because of interests, Richardson wants to leave the Warriors, Yang Di has long heard the rumors, and he understands it in his heart.
After all, it is to become an All-Star, and in the Warriors, the aggressive Yang Di simply forced him to breathe, and his performance in the playoffs was greatly reduced, and he wanted to be a core player, not a foil by Yang Di's side. Because Yang Di is not Jordan, he doesn't believe that he will be Pippen.
In the final analysis, Yang Di proved that his days were too short to reach the point of surrender.
Yang Di received an email from Mullin.
“Dear Yang…….”
"The trade was a bit rushed, but it was a unanimous decision after a lot of deliberation by the uniforms, Tyson Chandler is a great young center, we have cleared the power forward position, and next season, you can play in the position you like. At the same time, the team has obtained draft picks, and if they want to beat traditional powerhouses such as the Spurs and Mavericks, they must also find talented people to work together, and the old players will lead the new players......"
Yang Di finished reading the email, and Mullin meant that because of his location, he would clear out Murphy.
He was skeptical, the NBA is a business field, everyone is a commodity in it, there is nothing that cannot be traded, the Bulls and Knicks obviously made an offer to impress Mullin, and Mullin was willing to trade.
"Tyson Chandler."
Yang Di knows that Tyson has just signed a six-year, $60 million contract, and this 01-year-old star has excellent physical fitness, tough defensive style, and long hands and feet, excellent jumping, except for a slight loss compared with those tonnage type insiders, he is excellent in other aspects.
"Tyson Chandler is just under 23 years old and has amazing potential, and Mullin obviously took a fancy to this and agreed to a big deal for all three teams."
As soon as the big deal involving nine players in the three teams came out, the entire transfer market became even hotter.
The Lakers announced the waiver of Brian Grant, and the Hawks signed Pachuglia from the Bucks......
Walking out of the airport, Yang Di read the details of the entire transaction and the email sent to him by Mullin, now the Warriors have a full lineup, but there are 4 more rookies at once, and the goal of this season, as long as it does not go backwards, is the biggest improvement.
