The toughest man in the NBA

Chapter 173 Absurd, the reason for basketball

Tu Man's physical test report caused a lot of waves with one stone, and it really became popular in various forums. They all said that this is a phenomenon of beasts evolving into Godzilla. Could it be that this kid went to eat nuclear weapons while the NBA was suspended?
Of course, Emma Watson also saw this news, carefully studied the data listed above, and knew that Tuman is now taller, wider, and stronger.

I don't know what I thought of, and I suddenly felt an itch.

Tu Man hasn't contacted her until now, apparently he gave up, as if he has nothing to cherish, he always curls up and disappears...

Tu Man is different, no matter where Diao Chan is, those coquettish sluts will find his strengths and welcome him wildly!
I wonder if he will miss those days and nights?
Glancing at the acupuncture brother next to him, he sighed deeply, a boundless sense of emptiness hit him, he subconsciously pinched his legs, feeling lost...

In fact, it was not Emma who was most frustrated.

These days, the most frustrated star in the world is Kobe Bryant, oh no, Chris Paul!

Just a little bit, the "Competition of Guns" is about to take shape...

Blame David Stern!

Last season, the Hornets failed to make it to the playoffs. After the last game, the unbearable Chris Paul showed his cards directly to the management, naming names to go to big cities like New York or Los Angeles.

Not long after, the Lakers were swept by the Mavericks in the second round.

Subsequently, Phil Jackson announced his retirement, and Kupchak knew that without reinforcements, even the Mavericks would not be able to overcome it, let alone the crazy Heat.

The general manager of the Hornets, Deps, knew that the opportunity was coming, and rushed to Los Angeles overnight to discuss the deal about Paul, and the two hit it off.

Kupchak Limara came to the Rockets' Fatty Mo, three shameless people whose IQs were lower than the average level of the league, and quickly reached a three-party deal that they thought was brilliant:
The Lakers sent Gasol to the Rockets, Odom to the Hornets, and got Paul;

The Rockets sent Scola, Brooks, Martin and the Hornets in the first round of 2012 to get Gasol;
The Hornets sent Paul and got Scola, Brooks, Martin, Odom and the Rockets' first-round picks.

This transaction can be said to be a transaction in which all three parties do not lose money. The three general managers smoked cigars, watched the playoffs, and waited for the end of the season to make the transaction immediately.

However, there are so many long nights and dreams!

This night lasted for 149 days, and during this long and boring night, the media was so idle that they crazily, repeatedly, and continuously hyped the deal.

Odom got up from Khloe Kardashian's belly, and suddenly knew that he had been abandoned by the team. Suddenly, the whole world collapsed, and the little blue pill didn't smell good.

When interviewed by the media, he cried like a lovelorn girl and said that he was unwilling to leave the Lakers. He reviewed over and over again what he did wrong, and vowed never to eat candy again...

But Kupchak has been determined to form a "competition combination", and has no time to comfort Odom. He is already preparing for Paul's arrival.

But Kupchak forgot that on the surface he was dealing with the Hornets, but in fact he was playing with the 29 teams that competed with the Lakers.

This may be the most ridiculous trade in NBA history.

And this ridiculous story started a year ago.

In the spring of 2010, Hornets owner George Sheehan suddenly began to sell the Hornets.

Don't say anything, clearance sale.

Oracle owner Larry Ellison has always wanted to own an NBA team. The day before that, Ellison failed to buy the Warriors. This time for the Hornets, Ellison offered 3.5 million , is bound to win.

In theory, Ellison has no problem buying the Hornets, but there are rumors that Ellison wants to buy the Hornets and then relocate the Hornets to California.

With the lessons learned from the Supersonics, Stern has lingering fears, and there are already four teams in California, the Lakers, Clippers, Kings, and Warriors, which runs counter to the concept of "a more balanced league" he has always advocated.

Due to the president's interference, the Hornets have not been sold in December.

Because there are no local buyers in New Orleans.

The league had no choice but to spend 3 million to buy the Hornets from George Sheehan at its own expense. Before finding a new buyer, the league managed it on its behalf.

Therefore, since then, the Hornets have actually been managed by 29 other teams in the NBA. The 29 owners are all shareholders, and the actual helm is the president.

It's been a year since the league took over the Hornets, and they haven't made any big deals. Now that they want to send out a superstar like Paul, it's inevitable that someone will make trouble, not to mention they have the identity and power to make trouble.

The person who jumped out to make trouble was none other than Gilbert, the Cavaliers owner who had just lost LeBron James.

A year ago, because of James' "Decision [-]", the Cavaliers were reduced to a belly in an instant. Gilbert may be the person in the world who hates the star's departure and hugging his legs. Of course, he gave a big hat——

To maintain the dignity of the small club!
Gilbert wrote ten thousand words to the president. He believed that if the superstars are allowed to join forces, the NBA will become Bundesliga football. Except for Bayern Munich, other teams are playing mud.

Over time:

30 of our 25 teams might as well go straight to exhibition games!

The email pointed directly at Stern's weakness. He has always claimed to create a "more balanced alliance", and agreeing to this deal is tantamount to slapping himself in the face.

So one second before the opening of the free market, this three-party deal between the Lakers, Hornets and Rockets that had been hyped for the entire summer was stopped by the actual helm of the Hornets, David Stern, for "basketball reasons". .

Everything that follows is messed up:

Kupchak was ashamed to face the loyal Odom, and he was rushed to the Mavericks three days later, in exchange for a trade exception that didn't come in handy in the end.

Four days later, the Hornets sent Paul to Los Angeles, but this time it wasn't the Lakers, but the Clippers, the ten thousand year old belly.

The Hornets traded Paul and two future second-round picks to the Clippers for Eric Gordon, Kaman, Aminu and an unprotected 2012 first-round pick from the Timberwolves.

Paul was so angry, you didn't stop when the green army hugged the group, and LeBron hugged the legs, but why did you stop when I came to Lao Tzu?

This cliff is revenge!

No way, who made him the chairman of the players union?
During the lockout negotiations, he may have scolded Stern and the eight generations of ancestors of the owners of the other 29 teams. Now Gilbert has jumped out. Except for Bass and Alexander, the other 26 are probably dark Cool...

The only consolation is that Griffin is stronger than any insider he has partnered with in the Hornets. Although he is not as good as the Lakers here, he is much better than nesting in the Clippers!
Paul is still a little sad, why not butcher?
