I'm really good at shooting.

Chapter 616 2010 NBA Trade Deadline

There is still some time before the trade deadline, and the rumors are already dizzying.

It's hard to distinguish between true and false, but there is a saying that rumors hurt people, and those who are exposed to rumors will not be too relaxed.

And there are no groundless things in this world. You will appear in the rumors, which means that the management has probably already discussed the transaction related to you with others.

The reason why it is still a rumor is only because the price has not been negotiated.

Like McGrady.

It was already uncomfortable enough for him to play and stop due to injury, and he had to bear such mental pressure.

His encounter also attracted sympathy and injustice from the media.

In the latest episode of TNT's program, Barkley complained about McGrady.

"You gave your back to this city, and now this city is going to abandon you. This is the NBA. Business is just business."

Barkley was talking about a highly controversial topic.

The backbone of the player, and the balance of career.

These examples abound in the NBA.

For example, Hill, who was a teammate with Sun Hao before, was almost disabled in the Pistons.

Although he was lucky and later signed a big contract with the Magic, he will never reach the height that people expect of him.

Another example is Griffin, as Barkley said, he left his knee in Detroit, but he also fell.

The same thing happened to Durant in history.

At that time, the Warriors fought with injuries in order to fight for the last championship, and the result was a direct rupture of the Achilles tendon.

In the end, the result of such a fight was the indifference of the management, and the famous phrase "we were already champions before you came".

Players have the right to choose personally, and no matter how they choose, they will have different opinions in the eyes of different people.

Some people think that you are passionate in your efforts, and others will naturally think that you are stupid;

Similarly, when you choose to recuperate from your injuries, some people will think that you are not tough enough without the character of the last century, and some people will also be happy for your choice.

However, McGrady's current situation will indeed make people feel aggrieved.

Because McGrady's closed game happened last season, and only half a year has passed.

This is really completely treating players as commodities, without any emotion at all.

The media pays attention, and naturally this question will be thrown into the hands of the players in some interviews.

For example, the media asked Durant about the matter related to McGrady.

Because when Durant drafted, the template he was given was McGrady, and the styles of play of the two also have great similarities.

"That's absolutely disrespectful. If the team does that, which player is willing to give his all for the team?"

Durant is still his usual authentic style.

"But the team also needs to think about their future, if they don't make changes, then they can't achieve what they want."

The reporter's next words were already quite tactful.

Because to be more straightforward, McGrady is now dragging down the Wizards.

You must know that Yao Ming and Boozer are still at their peak.

"I don't know about that, but if they did that, then I would never play for Michael."

Durant is real enough.

Although everyone knows Durant's character, this statement still amused the reporter.

At this time, Jordan, who was far away in Washington, sneezed unconsciously.

"Is your idol T-mac?"

reporters asked.

"Of course, I watched T-mac play when I was still in high school, and his skills are the best in the world."

Durant's answer was still straightforward.

"What about Sunbi?"

This reporter is also very good at focusing.

"No, they're not the same, they're completely two different styles of play and completely different skills."

Durant shook his head.

"Last question, would you be happy if you had the chance to play with T-mac?"

"Yes, I will."

Although the reporter said it was a completely impossible hypothesis, Durant still nodded.

Curry's idol is Sun Hao, and now he plays with Sun Hao.

If there is a chance for that feeling, he will definitely want to experience it.

Durant's remarks were reported by the media, triggering a wave of discussions among fans on social media.

But this soon disappeared in the vast number of rumors.

And compared to McGrady, another player is the protagonist in this wave of rumors.

Anthony and the Pistons are already at it.

The previous loss to the Warriors is a microcosm of the Warriors' season.

Although the hope of winning the championship was slim in the past few years, the Pistons were still in the echelon anyway.

But Gordon's performance this season is really hip, and the key is that his big contract has just begun.

This means that it will be difficult for the Pistons to return to the echelon for at least the next few years.

Without the present, I feel uncomfortable playing, and there is no future, anyone who stays in this is uncomfortable!

Not to mention Anthony's character, he is not the kind of person who accepts everything.

One wave of negotiations failed, and two waves of negotiations made the contradictions public. This third wave is a bit tense.

It's also a good thing that now is not the era in the future when you apply to leave the team if you are not happy with the game, otherwise Anthony would have already turned the table and quit.

But even so, it is increasingly felt that the Pistons will trade Anthony away before the trade deadline.

Then amidst all these rumors, the Warriors did not fail to qualify.

The reason for this situation is that Azubuike was reimbursed for the season on the Warriors side.

Originally, Azubuike suffered only minor injuries, and the management and coaching staff didn't think there would be any major problems, so he came back after a period of rest.

But Azubuike didn't improve after a week of rest.

By the time he was rechecked, his injury had turned into a torn patellar tendon.

This is an injury that made him reimbursed directly for the season.

This result really caught everyone on the Warriors side off guard.

Although Azubuike is not a star player, he is currently the best perimeter defender on this Warriors team.

Moreover, he has experienced the baptism of the playoffs, and he is already very good in terms of immediate combat power and experience.

Although the performance of Matthews, who has topped him for a while, is not bad, but after all, he is a rookie and his performance is very unstable.

The same goes for Curry.

None of them are good enough to be the starting shooting guard on a championship contender.

Warriors fans were stunned when they heard the news, and then they were extremely uncomfortable.

Because this is their best and best season.

But that's the reality.

That sentence is nine out of ten unsatisfactory things in life. The other things of the Warriors are too satisfactory, and this unsatisfactory is too smooth.

This is such a bad time.

At this time, Jerry West's ability is also tested. He must trade for a capable starting player without changing the existing core rotation. This will definitely be a big challenge.

Time went by, and it was the end of January in a blink of an eye.

When the rumors had reached a fever pitch, the voting results for the NBA All-Star starters came out first.

Sun Hao, with more than 400 million votes, was successfully elected as the top voter in the NBA.

This result can be said to be without any suspense. Before Stern can't stand the external pressure to change the voting mechanism, as long as Sun Hao is still playing, no one can take away this vote.

In the west, apart from Sun Hao, the remaining four positions are Kobe, Durant, James, and Duncan.

There is a detail here. The Spurs have played one star this season, and Duncan signed up as a center.

Because Yao Ming and Howard are both in the East, O'Neal is almost completely unable to play, and Oden and Bynum are not strong enough, so there is nothing wrong with this center.

On the east side, Paul, Wade, Anthony, Yi Jianlian, Yao Ming.

There is no suspense in this starting list.

But after this list came out, fans began to talk about a very interesting thing.

If Anthony is really traded in the end, which team will he belong to by then.

It's okay to trade to the east, but if it is traded to the west, it will be fun.

"The league should move up the trade deadline to before the All-Star first pick is selected."

Some fans gave the ultimate solution on social media.

The proposal got a lot of likes, including on official social media.

I believe this should also be put on the agenda soon.

After all, the NBA is not three stones. A survey of a tactics icon change has received a lot of opposition, but it can still pretend not to see it to wear down the patience of players.

Then, while the fans were talking, the trade deadline was getting closer and closer.

The first to explode is the most explosive.

Anthony, traded by the Pistons!
However, what the fans were most worried about did not happen, because Anthony was sent to the Eastern Conference team.

New York Knicks!

Knicks traded Michael Beasley, David Lee and Mobley (expiring contracts), 2011 pick swap, 2013 first round, 2015 first round, traded for Anthony from Pistons And Tim Tou!
This transaction can be said to be absolutely earthquake level!
And the Knicks are really bleeding, not only sent a lot of draft picks, but also sent the second pick Beasley and the played David Lee.

But this is the value of Anthony's current transaction. He is now the existence of the league's ten-to-five guarantee.

The Knicks can get it, thanks to these high-quality rookies they selected.

But just after the deal was exposed, a piece of news seemed intriguing.

The Knicks' word in the negotiations is that all the rookies the Pistons pick at will.

The meaning of random selection is that it also includes James Harden, the No. [-] pick that the team just selected last year.

But the Pistons didn't want Harden.

The reason is very reasonable, because they feel that Harden's game temperament is far from that of the Pistons.

It's right to think about it, how can a man who is addicted to gentleness adapt to Detroit's iron blood?
So in the end, the Pistons would rather have Mobley, who has a good price-performance contract or an expired contract, and then ask for an extra first-round pick swap.

All in all, Harden ended up staying in New York.

And a detail worth mentioning is that because Marbury's buyout contract expired last season, the Knicks will release an extremely large salary space next summer after making this deal.

Originally, if this deal was not done, they would have a lot of salary space.

But now they have Anthony in hand, and James Harden, who may not be able to play, but is also second in the list, this is completely different for free agents.

As for the free agents this summer?
Generation 03!And not just the 03 generation!
In the 03 generation, James, Wade, and Bosh all have player options this summer.

The possibility of James leaving seems unlikely, but the other two are not doing well recently.

The possibility of some of them going to New York is not ruled out.

In addition to these three, Ray Allen's contract in the Celtics' Big Three will also expire, as well as Tracy McGrady, who is already deeply involved in trading rumors, Carter, who has jumped out of the contract option, and Big Ben, O'Neal, Peja The contracts of these second-tier players have also expired one after another.

Although Yao Ming's early contract renewal made the free market lose one of the highlights, in fact, it is full of highlights no matter how you look at it.

This day is the last day of the deadline.

Sun Hao was chatting with Durant about the Anthony trade.

As a time traveler, Sun Hao couldn't help all kinds of YY at this time, and it was very reasonable YY.

He now feels more and more that Wade will go to Denver to form a team with James next year, and Bosh will go to the Knicks and Anthony as teammates.

In that case, the competitiveness of the Nuggets will come back at once, and the Knicks can finally rise after waiting for Harden to develop for two years.

And for New York fans, a more exciting fact is that because Harden is still in the rookie contract, they even have the opportunity to recruit two more stars without counting Harden.

If you don't consider the future, the lineup of the Big Three + Harden is more terrifying than the original Thunder Four.

Dolan must have taken the wrong medicine.

This was the first thought in Sun Hao's mind, otherwise he wouldn't have come out with such a one-handed operation.

But because it's Dolan, maybe next year the Knicks will make another showy operation.

So it's really a horrible feeling that people look forward to but can't help it at the same time.

While the two were chatting, some other deals were concluded one after another.

But compared to Anthony's deal, it can only be regarded as a small fight.

Including the "little bully" Stoudemire, who had a lot of rumors on the Suns side, finally confirmed that he would stay with the team.

To put it bluntly, some rumors will eventually come true, but there are also quite a few that will make you feel lonely waiting.

The two chatted while scrolling through the news.

"We have a deal."

At this moment, Durant suddenly stopped reading the news, with an indescribably complicated expression.

Sun Hao poked his head over, and then saw what the Warriors' deal was.

When he saw the transaction, his expression was stunned.

This transaction really surprised even him, and there were even things that shouldn't have happened.

Or to put it another way, it's really not Jerry West!
Because the Warriors traded for... T-mac...
