From today on is the king

Chapter 1470 1469. The Beginning of Panic
In the original time and space, Granger was trained by the Pacers as the core. It was only after he won the Most Improved Award in the 08-09 season and was selected as an All-Star substitute for the first time that his talent was fully discovered.

Granger has shown his talent now, but just like his performance in the regular season, he is immature and his skills are not good enough, but his excellent professional attitude, big heart, etc. are also outstanding, and he has been favored by many teams.

The main reason is that the Eagles have the league's best method of cultivating young people since the new century. Those young players who left the Eagles are now active in the league. Granger's second year is over, and he is sought after more than Josh Smith and Iguodala last year.

This is the reason why the predecessors planted trees and the descendants enjoyed the shade.

The Timberwolves tried to exchange the 2006 No. 2008 pick Tyrus Thomas, the No. [-] Randy Foye, and the [-] lottery-protected picks obtained from the Bulls last year for the Hawks' Danny Granger, but the Hawks rejected it!

As soon as the news came out, everyone thought it was a retaliatory refusal. It was the same as last year when the Timberwolves rejected the Eagles' desire to trade, which sparked heated discussions about trades before the draft.

revenge!Not even giving a chance to negotiate is definitely a retaliatory refusal!

After all, the Timberwolves management offended the Eagles management too much last year.

People feel that the Timberwolves are too miserable, and they have Kevin McHale, the executive president who regards the parent team as more important than the current owner.

Seeing that Andre Iguodala, who is now the outside core in the Rockets, and Josh Smith, who is the inside core in the Suns, are playing so well, and the Timberwolves seem to have obtained a large group of high-ranked rookies from the Bulls. Ben Gordon's average of 20+4+4 per game in the past season is not bad, but compared with the performances of Josh Smith and Iguodala in the past season, the gap is still not small.

The key is that the Eagles originally planned to send these two brothers, plus a veteran Rasheed Wallace who can bring them with experience, to them.

Originally, the Eagles got Garnett and the Timberwolves got a pair of talented inside and outside core combinations. The Eagles could try to win four consecutive championships, and the Timberwolves also have a future... The win-win thing was ruined by the Timberwolves themselves.

Now there are "sources" releasing news that the Eagles got more than a dozen trade offers about Rondo, Granger, and David Lee, but rejected the offer from the Timberwolves in the first place...

revenge!Hongguoguo's revenge!
……

Seeing the news criticizing McHale, the focus is on the Eagles' revenge...Liu Mang saw the word revenge...

Is it really revenge?

Liu Mang also has this idea, but this is not the key, the key is what the Timberwolves gave.

Tyrus Thomas, Randy Foye... Two high-ranked rookies, Liu Mang has no impression of their future in the NBA except for this season's match.

Minnesota's draft vision... Liu Mang thinks it's better to forget it, and the Timberwolves have no sincerity in giving a 2008 draft pick, lottery protection... Liu Mang doesn't think the Timberwolves have the possibility of reaching the playoffs in the next ten years after losing Garnett.

The 2008 first-round pick protected by the lottery given by the Timberwolves, if the Timberwolves do not enter the playoffs in 2008, they will be protected as the top eight picks in 2009, and then the top five picks in 2010... Liu Wei estimates that he will not be able to get the pick of the Timberwolves until after 2011...

So when Liu Mang saw the offer from the Timberwolves, he didn't plan to talk to them. There were too many teams making offers, and he didn't bother to talk to the Timberwolves' brainless management.

The Blazers are interested in using Randolph and this year's No. 12 pick, but they want Kwame Brown...

Randolph plus a marginal lottery pick for Granger + Kwame Brown is a well-calculated move.

So Liu Mang asked the boss to reply to the email, wanting to replace Randolph with Aldridge, but this time he was rejected by the Blazers...

Liu Mang is not surprised. The Blazers made the right choice. Randolph has not experienced the time of a homeless man. He is still a ruffian. It is hard to say that he can give the team much positive help. The statistics are very good. 20+10 every year is as simple as drinking water, but he has no desire to win.

The Blazers management is not stupid. This is Liu Mang’s feeling in the rare contact with the Blazers management. Before the Blazers almost sent Rasheed Wallace away for nothing, it was also for the purpose of rebuilding. After all, the championship lineup back then was completely aging.

From the perspective of team building ideas, Liu Wei feels that the Blazers have been working hard to build a championship team, but sometimes fate is hard to say. In the original time and space, in 2007, the Blazers won 2006 wins in the 2007-32 season. This is not bad. The record can get the No. [-] lottery. Oden is the No. [-] pick that everyone expects. Oden can be reimbursed without even playing in the summer league...

In addition, after Liu Mang communicated with the Heat, Kings, and Clippers about the offer, the other party also withdrew the offer, and they couldn't agree. Both Liu Mang and the other party wanted to take advantage of it.

The most attractive offer is undoubtedly the Bobcats and Pacers.

The Pacers gave this year's No. 8 pick and Mike Dunleavy.

The Bobcats gave this year's No. 10 pick and the first-round pick protected by the top five picks in 2009, but the Bobcats want David Lee and Ryan Hollins in addition to Granger.

The Hollins Hawks don't feel sorry for them, but David Lee managed to train him to the third grade, and used it to trade for draft picks... It's really a bit reluctant.

And the protection of the top five picks sounds good, but the Bobcats got Granger and David Lee, and Gerald Wallace, Okafor, Felton... It is very likely to make the playoffs within two years, so the top five picks in 2009 are basically equal to the draft picks outside the lottery, so it will be a big loss.

If Yi Jianlian enters the draft this season, Liu Mang is very interested in taking him with the eighth or tenth pick.

Playing in the NCAA, Yi Jianlian improved much faster than he had entered the CBA earlier, but it also caused him to lose that mysterious oriental veil. After finishing his sophomore year, he predicted that the draft pick would be on the edge of the lottery. If there was the eighth or tenth pick, Liu Mang might suggest that the team choose him.

An inside swingman with shooting and excellent physical fitness is very suitable for the faster and faster pace of the league, and the Eagles just lack such an insider on the offensive end.

But Yi Jianlian wants to finish his senior year, polish his skills before entering the NBA, Liu Mang supports it, and his draft pick may drop further. After all, there is no illusory "age talent", but it is helpful for the national team and for Yi Jianlian to gain a foothold in the NBA more easily.

But if Yi Jianlian doesn't run for the election, the Bobcats and Pacers' offers will be much less attractive.

Re-selecting a rookie is basically impossible to be as useful as Granger, who is already a third-year player next season.

But talk still needs to be discussed. Shen and Bird have already made an appointment to come to Atlanta to negotiate. Liu Mang, the boss and the coach are waiting for further contact.

……

……

After the finals, many teams have already started substantive trade contacts.

The real specific transaction situation began on the night of the 21st when the Eagles rejected the Timberwolves' transaction application.

Because trading is not as simple as imagined, it is rare for the Eagles to directly refuse, so the substantial progress of the transaction did not really start until the fourth day after the finals, when the Eagles participated in the trading market.

When the Lakers avenged the Eagles to win the championship and the Eagles set off a wave of trades before the draft, the NBA began to surge.

This summer, compared to last summer, the contending teams have different ideas in order to take advantage of the Hawks' weakening period after the three-peat.

The main reason is that the performance of the Eagles this season is really incredible.

When Jerry West won the Loser's MVP, the Lakers only had 5 championships.

When Liu Mang won the Loser MVP, the Eagles had 4 championships in team history.

There's a sense that the Hawks are starting to develop toward a true historic powerhouse.

The main reason is that Liu Mang is only 25 years old. The Eagles have a very flexible lineup. Liu Mang's future is hard to predict!Similarly, it also means that the future of the Eagles is unpredictable.

Although they just lost the championship, some Eagles fans have set their next goal on the number of championships for the Bulls.

Such public opinion is very disturbing to many teams with the idea of ​​hitting the championship.

There are indeed team owners who only want to make money, but most of the owners are still paying for their basketball dreams when most teams in the NBA have not yet started to make profits.

What should I do?
The Eagles almost won four consecutive championships like this, and many teams don't know what to do.

For some playoff-level teams, the existing stars are not enough to help them compete for the championship, and like the Heat, who were the favorites in the Eastern Conference Finals last year, they can get Oden with the No.

This makes many teams do not know how to solve the current problem.

At the same time, many stars are in a state of panic, mainly stars like Carter who are in their thirties who are at their peak but have already begun to enter the second half of their peak.

If they continue like this, they feel that their peak is about to pass... that is, they are getting old!

In addition to the Eagles losing the championship, the next year may be more aggressive, and the Lakers are still there. The Lakers' Odom has already revealed that he is preparing to renew his contract. His contract in 2008 is about to expire.

The Spurs Duncan fans are back to the top, the Suns are at their best now, the Cavaliers, Bulls, Mavericks...

Now is the era of the superteam explosion, and the stars who are in their prime are starting to panic.

"Join? Or lever uprising?"
