The Overlord of Basketball: 2K Possession

Chapter 304
The Kings paid Odom and Jabari Smith and a draft pick for Jamal Crawford and Eddie Curry.

Last season, Eddie Curry had 14.7 points and 6.9 rebounds, and Crawford had 17.7 points and 5.3 assists. If Odom was replaced, the Kings would not lose at all.

It's a pity that the Kings have forgotten how authentic it is to play such statistics on a poor team?

As for the Lakers, they sent O'Neal, got Odom and Ben Gordon, and Anthony Davis, as well as a first round and a second round.

It is equivalent to saying that the Bulls deliberately traded Odom, and then sent Odom to the Lakers.

Finally, the Bulls, after paying Eddie Curry, Crawford, and potential rookies like Ben Gordon, finally got O'Neal.

It can be said that in addition to getting the players they wanted, the Lakers and Kings also released part of the salary space.

And this part of the excess salary space is basically taken by the Bulls.

That is to say, the Bulls are in the rebuilding period, and the salary space is still far away from the luxury tax. Otherwise, such an unbalanced salary deal is not affordable for ordinary teams.

The Bulls finally formed a combination of O'Neal + Wade + Luol Deng, which looks pretty good.

It's a pity that, except for the three, the Bulls' lineup is already very dilapidated, and it is somewhat difficult to form a five-man starter.

It is estimated that the Bulls will have to use future draft picks to match this combination with a suitable lineup.

This method of overdrafting future potential is effective, but if it fails, it is estimated that the Bulls will be depressed for many years.

Well, since Jordan left the Bulls, the Bulls have not recovered over the years.

It's quite appropriate to fight under such circumstances, after all, this is Shaquille O'Neal.

The turmoil about O'Neal's transfer has settled, but the grievances between O'Neal and Kobe have not stopped.

It is said that the two began to spray each other again.

The NBA official is also an old bastard who stirs up the flames, and announced the schedule of the Lakers and Bulls early, the Christmas game.

Moreover, this year the number of teams in the NBA has reached 30, and Joe's Bobcats made a successful debut.

Since then, the east and west of the NBA have also been officially divided into three divisions. The east is the Atlantic Division, the Central Division and the Southeast Division, and the west is the Pacific Division, Northwest Division and Southwest Division.

The Heat naturally belong to the Southeast Division. Their opponents in the same division include the Atlanta Hawks, Charlotte Hornets, Orlando Magic, and Washington Wizards.

The current situation looks good, there is no particularly strong opponent, and the Heat are likely to win the top spot in the division.

Don't underestimate the top spot in this division. According to the ranking rules of the NBA regular season, the top spot in the division can guarantee the top three in the east and west.

In other words, the second in the Eastern Conference may be ranked fourth in the Eastern Conference, and the division championship is still very important.

This unreasonable rule made it easy for the strongest opponents to meet each other, so it was canceled after two years of implementation. Later, the first place in the division could only guarantee the top four in the regular season.

Although they didn't get the Sharks, it's just that the Heat have not been idle, and have also made many reinforcements.

After all, it is Pat Riley, and he has already prepared for the team's construction and planning.

The reason why O'Neal gradually became only because of O'Neal's cornerstone role, he can determine the starting point of the team.

It's just that, even without O'Neill, Pat Riley wouldn't be helpless.

The first is the reinforcement of the point guard. Last year, Pat Riley did miscalculate.

If Chen Mo grows according to the original plan, in fact, the combination of Blake and Mo Williams is enough.

But no one expected that Chen Mo would grow up too fast.

The Heat, who originally only planned to make it to the playoffs, abruptly finished second in the Eastern Conference during the regular season.

In this way, when facing those opponents, the strength of the point guard and other positions is not enough.

After determining that O'Neal was hopeless, Pat Riley moved quickly and took Gary Payton.

Don't look at the old gloves, but the defensive experience and passing awareness are still there, and these are enough.

Coupled with Blake and Mo Williams, it can be said that the Heat's point guard line is not weaker than any team, whether it is strength or lineup thickness.

Then there was the shooting guard, and in the end, Eddie Jones was traded.

After the injury, Eddie Jones chose conservative treatment, and the current situation is still very good.

It's a pity that Pat Riley didn't care about these, even if the value of the transaction was greatly reduced, he still chose to trade.

In the end, Pat Riley prompted a three-point trade between the Mavericks, Hawks and Heat.

Eddie Jones went to the Atlanta Hawks, the Mavericks got the Jets Jason Terry, and the Heat got Antawn Walker.

It has to be said that Pat Riley's vision is quite sharp, and he accurately saw the value of Antoine Walker.

And, because of Antawn Walker's poor performance with the Mavericks last season, Pat Riley paid a small price.

Instead, the Mavericks, in order to get Jason Terry, the Mavericks paid several future draft picks.

Although Eddie Jones is gone, next season, Chen Mo will appear at the shooting guard position, so there is no need to worry about this position.

Moreover, as Chen Mo's substitute, Lagabel's strength, whether it is defense or three-pointers, is enough.

More importantly, at this year's draft conference, Chen Mo made a little suggestion, and the Heat picked up a treasure.

In the 2004 draft, the Heat only got the No. 25 pick in the first round and the No. 15 pick in the second round.

In the end, let the Heat choose Tony Allen, the future defensive champion, with the first round pick.

It's just that Tony Allen is still too immature today, needs more time to level up, and has not enough defensive experience at all.

The No. 15 pick in the second round was actually close to being selected by the Heat. Ariza was a pity that Tiezha was taken away by the Knicks.

After thinking about it, Chen Mo still didn't change Ariza's life trajectory in the end, let him practice blacksmithing with the blacksmith.

Later, the Heat put forward another opinion, or choose to give birth to Yao and He Shengzhen?
In order to make Chen Mo more comfortable in Miami, the team doesn't mind such a second-round pick at all.

That is to say, there are no Chinese players participating in the NBA draft this year, otherwise, the Heat could really pick one back.

After thinking about it, Chen Mo gave up.

If Ha Seung-jin is really going to be selected, then Ha Seung-jin will lead him to dominate the NBA.

Korean media: Your thinking is too simple!

Although Chen Mo couldn't guess the integrity of the Korean media, he had seen it before.

In the third position, whether Caron Butler or Antoine Walker will start is anyone's guess.

The current situation should be like this, one of the two starts, and the other assumes the role of the sixth man.

In addition, the Heat also introduced sharpshooter James Posey to further expand the depth of the third position.
