NBA Absolute Flood Dam

Chapter 1326 Duncan's hat was exposed!

"David, Jazz's 2014 unprotected first-round pick, and Philly's 2014 unprotected first-round pick, that's all I can get..."

After receiving a call from Pat Riley, Timberwolves general manager David Kahn checked the records of the Philadelphia team and the Jazz this season. The former is ninth in the Eastern Conference and the latter is tenth in the Western Conference. If it reaches the top three, it will be at the end of the lottery at most, a dozen or so.

It was difficult to meet the Timberwolves' need for a first-round pick, and David Kahn decisively rejected Pat Riley.

In this way, Pat's idea of ​​building a five-forward lineup basically went bankrupt.

When the two fell apart, the battle between the Spurs and the Suns was over, and the Suns defeated the Spurs away.

Li Ba still played three 10 minutes, two inside positions, a total of 96 minutes, and the remaining 66 minutes were shared by Nene, Garnett and Drummond.

Among them, Nene averaged about 25 minutes per game, Garnett 10 minutes, and the remaining 10 minutes belonged to Drummond.

In 10 minutes of playing time, Zhuang Shen grabbed an average of 8 rebounds per game, played 8+8 data, and averaged 1.6 blocks and 1 steal per game. not bad.

"Perlin, is there a way to get him here?"

Bryant's house in Los Angeles, talking to his agent, Pelinka, after watching the Suns-Spurs game.

"The Heat and several teams wanted him, and they all talked to me, but the Suns didn't let go. The only thing that let go was that the Pacers also wanted him last time. The Suns agreed, but they were rejected by President Stern. No. The Lakers have a hard time trading him, and the Suns are not going to send Drummond to Los Angeles."

Pelinka is also Drummond's agent. He also values ​​this rookie and knows the situation of the Suns very well.

"Think of a way," Kobe said.

Pelinka was a little helpless, not that he didn't want to help Kobe, he knew that Kobe and Howard had difficulty getting along, and the two had too many different ideas about the game, but this matter was really difficult.

The Suns and the Lakers both aim to win the championship, and they are both in the Pacific region. They are teams that compete from beginning to end, and they can also be said to be rival teams. How could it be possible to trade Drummond to the Lakers?

The last time the Lakers had a problem in order to trade Paul George, they were fined $500 million by the league. What if there is another problem this time?
Moreover, the Suns are not the Pacers. They are a quasi-rich team with two dynasties and six championships. They are very strong. Even if they take the initiative to apply for a trade, they may not achieve their goals.

"They are willing to trade to the Pacers, which means they don't value Drummond too much. You should think of a way." Kobe said without giving up.

Pelinka smiled wryly: "The last time the Pacers gave Paul George + an unprotected first-round pick, what chips can the Lakers give?"

Kobe was stunned, the Lakers had a fart bargaining chip, and it was all Nike's contribution to getting Chris Paul. The real empty-handed white wolf, now wants to trade Drummond from the Suns, let alone the Suns, Adidas will not agree .

Only then did he know that the possibility of trading Drummond was almost non-existent.

"Then we can only find a way to trade Kevin Love." Bryant said.

"Talk to the management. Love is also good. He can stretch and give you more room for breakthrough." Pelinka said.

On the 27th, the Suns arrived in Dallas and they will challenge the Mavericks.

On the 28th, the Suns challenged the Mavericks in an away game, and there was no suspense about the victory. However, Harden accidentally injured Harden in this game and had to stop fighting for two weeks.

Back at home, on the 31st, the Suns played against the Lakers at home.

Without the main control, the two veterans Kidd and Ginobili could not withstand the impact of Kobe and Paul, and the Suns were defeated.

Throughout January, the Suns only lost two games to the Lakers. The current record is 1 wins and 43 losses, still maintaining the first place in the league.

李坝本赛季到目前为止，场均30.1分钟，打出了场均21.5分20.5篮板5.9助攻7.4抢断7.9盖帽1.8失误1.7犯规的数据。

This average is slightly lower than in previous years, but it is still an eye-popping statistic.

Relying on the team's record and personal data, Li Ba is still ranked first in the MVP ranking.

At the same time, he also won the Western Conference Player of the Month in January again, which is the third time this season that he has won this honor.

The high-energy performance for three consecutive months has completely convinced the media, and no media believes that Li Ba's peak is approaching.

This continuous performance has also convinced basketball fans all over the world to Li Ba and pay homage to him.

Facing the media, Michael Jordan said with admiration and exclamation: "When the Hammer is close to 31 years old, he can still average double 5+5*[-] data per game. I admire this very much."

On the 1st, Gao Yuanyuan called: "It's embarrassing, Adi's dividend from last year has arrived."

"How many?" Li Ba casually asked while serving his two sons at home.

"1.7 million US dollars." Gao Yuanyuan said.

"Oh, how are you doing?" Li Ba asked.

"Not bad." Gao Yuanyuan said.

"When is the labor?"

"Mid-October."

"Okay, I'll give a Wimbledon champion to my godson." Li Ba laughed.

"Do what you say, don't fool my son!" Gao Yuanyuan laughed.

"No problem, my current serve is invincible." Li Ba said with a smile.

"By the way, my player is that Leonard of the Spurs. Next time you meet him, be merciful and don't give me a total disability. Rose is still disabled, and this one will be injured again. I have a headache, and the investment is huge. .”

Gao Yuanyuan exhorted.

"All right, I'll remember." Li Ba said with a smile.

Time has entered February, and Li Ba's villa is also full of wax goods, and the New Year is coming soon.

On February 2, the Suns suffered another injury and injured the main small forward Caron Butler in the game against the Warriors.

The injury is not serious, he sprained his knee, he was reimbursed for the regular season, and it is not bad to play in the playoffs.

Caron is very frustrated. At his age, if his knee is injured again, his state may not be able to improve later, and he may plummet.

But Jimmy Butler and Chandler Parsons are very excited that their opportunity has come.

The Suns are used to cultivating rookies, one for two, and decided to put Jimmy Butler and Chandler Parsons on the top.

From the perspective of statistics and talent, Payton is more optimistic about Parsons, but from the perspective of playing attitude, he is optimistic about Jimmy Butler.

In the end, whoever takes the position can only depend on the performance of the two, and the opportunities are equal.

The two second-year top players started, and their performance was still not stable. In addition, Harden was also injured. The Suns' record has declined since February.

The Suns also started the rest of the second half of the season as usual.

On the 4th day, Duncan rarely grabbed a headline. Some media broke a big story, and the fact that Duncan was wearing a hat was finally exposed.
