Chapter 500 [Medium-term Transaction, Famous Arrival]

At the trade deadline, teams that want to make a difference in the playoffs are taking the last chance to bolster them. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

The Heat management is the most active, peddling blue-collar interior Brian Grant everywhere, but unfortunately other team managers are not stupid, even the Bucks, are reluctant to send the high-paid and incompetent Van Horn, because Van Horn is better than Grant.

The only thing Grant could get in exchange for was the drunkard Weinbeck, who would be hacked to death by Riley on his first day with a knife on the Heat.

Now, Riley also wants to kill Grant with an annual salary of 15 million, with this person, the Heat has no salary space to strengthen, so they can only find rookies and low-salary players to develop.

In fact, Grant doesn't owe anything to the Heat, and the reason why his knees are worn out so much is because Riley asks the Devil to train. If he had just been training at a normal intensity, he might still be a good strong-blooded power forward by now.

The biggest trade of the day came from the Kings, who began a rebuild, sending away Chris Webb, Matt Barnes, Michael Bradley, in exchange for the 76ers' Kenny Thomas, Collis Williams and Brian Skinner.

The Kings' record has plummeted, and Webber is still fighting Stojakovic for the top spot after returning from injury, and the management finally can't bear it anymore and would rather start from scratch than send him away. After the trade, the Kings will be able to pick at least a rookie with a higher pick.

The Kings are there to mess around, and the 76ers are the beneficiaries. Philadelphia fans were jubilant, believing that Webber would help Iverson win the championship and the 76ers re-establish themselves as a powerhouse in the East.

Webb played in 46 games for the Kings this season, averaging 36.3 minutes per game, 21.7 points, 10.5 rebounds, 5.5 assists, 1.5 steals and 0.7 blocks while shooting 44.9% from the field, 37.9% from three-point range and 80% from the free throw line.

His stats look too bluffing, and win percentage aside, he seems to be a star of Garnett's level. But if Webb has Garnett's defensive ability, the Kings will certainly not let him go.

After reading the news about Weber, Yang Rui scoffed. Webber is no longer the All-Star of 1999-2002, frequent injuries have made his physical fitness decline, his height is only 206CM, the confrontation is average, change a team that has no right to shoot, the data must have dropped very much, or a defensive hole, the 76ers are destined to gamble on Webb.

The Kings' most valuable player is Kevin Martin, a shooting guard who is currently a marginal man and averages only 3 points and 1.3 rebounds per game, but the Lakers' swingman position is too strong, so don't trade it, just keep the cheap Kings.

The Hornets sent star Steve Francis, who averaged 20.4 points, 6.4 rebounds and 6 assists per game, in exchange for Claxton and Dale Davis from the Warriors.

It's known as a brain-dead deal, and the Hornets almost threw away their star for nothing, because Francis and Hornets management fell out completely, demanding that they have to leave and go anywhere.

Francis has made it clear this season that he has a unique style of play, his shooting percentage is not high, he can't lead the team to win, and the Hornets owner is too lazy to keep him. The Hornets players are injured in turn, and they are at the bottom of the West this season and are expected to be the top pick.

Yang Rui believes that the real brain-dead deal was done by the Celtics.

The Hawks sent power forward Antoine Walker to the Celtics in exchange for guard Anderson, veteran Gugliotta, Michael Stewart and two first-round picks from 2005 and 2006.

The Celtics are back in the playoffs this year, but it's impossible to compete for a championship, and they actually sent two draft picks for a clearly declining Walker, overdrawing the future, which is unimaginable.

Walker's contract is long, sucks, strong offensively and weak defensively, and the Celtics will soon find him of little use.

The Lakers have also signed a new player. In January, Kupchak cut veteran point guard Charlie Ward, who had been on the bench, to make the spot.

You can't blame the Lakers for not being emotional, Ward really can't contribute anything to the team. He can shoot three-pointers, but he's too slow, a colander on the defensive end, and lacks playmaking. When the team doesn't need a point guard organization, he can't teach much experience to the youngsters.

Dribble the ball across half court and then open up and wait for opportunities, do you still need to teach this thing?

The Lakers signed veteran center Verratti Divac, whom the Bobcats cut in the middle of the game.

The Bobcat management kept an eye on it, although Divac was given a high salary, but part of the guarantee could be laid off if he didn't play well. Divac played in 40 games for the Bobcats, averaging 13 minutes per game, with 3-pointers, 2.6 rebounds and 1.7 assists while shooting just 41.4 percent from the field.

After Divac was cut, he called Kupchak to offer himself to join the Lakers and work for the Lakers coaching staff after retiring.

Divac has a high ball quotient, and he is also a famous center forward, known as the "ghost hand", and the management is optimistic that he can guide Yao Ming to pass the ball and make Yao Ming stronger, so he gave him a basic salary.

After signing the contract, Divac said in an interview with the media: "I am very happy to return to the Lakers to draw a perfect end to my career, and I will do my best to help Yao Ming become the league's No. 1 center." ”

Divac, who has not won a championship in his career, also said he is optimistic that the Lakers will win the championship this year.

In 1996, the Lakers suddenly sent Divac to the Hornets in exchange for rookie Kobe, Divac was very surprised when he learned about the deal from his agent, and then called the Lakers to inform them that he was retiring, which would make the Lakers' plan to get Kobe Bryant aborted, and finally he chose to stay, because he was only 28 years old at the time.

Even though Divac played in Charlotte, he decided to leave his wife and children in Los Angeles, and after playing two seasons, he chose to join the Kings, which is the capital of California, and is close to Los Angeles.

In addition to Divac, Lakers manager Kupchak also invited 58-year-old Kareem Abdul-Jabbar to be the team's special assistant coach.

The so-called special assistant is one level lower than Hornacek, Hollins, and Brooks, and does not participate in tactical discussions, and Abdul-Jabbar's job is to teach the team's interior skills.

The Lakers are doing this to better tune Yao Ming and want to continue to enrich his arsenal, and other inside players are only incidental to the class, and will not be guided individually.

After retiring as a player, Abdul-Jabbar served as a head coach at the University of California, an assistant coach with the Clippers from 1999-2000, and a longtime scout for the Knicks.

In Yang Rui's previous life, Abdul-Jabbar only signed with the Lakers in the summer of 2005 in order to train Lakers rookie Andrew Bynum. Now, because of Yang Rui's butterfly effect, the Knicks have become the target of public criticism, Brown is being used as a scrap, and Abdul-Jabbar's scouting work is being questioned.

Abdul-Jabbar, who failed to help the Knicks find a standout rookie, lost his job early and stayed at home for most of the year, and the Lakers gave him a chance, even if the salary was not much, he was willing to give it a try.

This is great news for Yao Ming, although his hook hand is excellent, but it is far from being called "Tian Hook", and now he can ask Jabbar for the trick of hook hand at any time.

The Chinese media reported on the exciting news, and online fans were discussing Yao Ming's future, which is very promising. The Lakers management found two centers to guide together, and Kobe Bryant did not have such treatment in the Lakers at the beginning.

The Lakers' management's redoubled focus has to do with Yao Ming's own competition in the first half of the season, he is already an All-Star, and he has also attracted investment from Chinese businesses, making the Lakers more profitable than before.

They are ready to build Yao Ming into the new mainstay of the team, and from the perspective of age, the 25-year-old Yao Ming can maintain his form at least until after 2010, and is worthy of a long-term contract with the highest salary.
