Super Evolution of Basketball

Chapter 396 There is an insider, the transaction is cancelled!

The game between the Lakers and the Bucks is over, and the home team is out. As the winner, those who performed well in the game are generally interviewed.

A female reporter from New York caught Downs first, first asked two explosive questions, and then used a few routine questions to prepare to end the interview.

The fans left the arena, it was almost time to leave, and the interview should be over. After the players changed their clothes, they held a press conference, and then flew back to Los Angeles overnight.

Downs said suddenly, "You turn this off first."

He pointed to the microphone in the reporter's hand and the video camera opposite.

The reporter followed suit and looked at Downs with the cameraman in doubt.

Towns asked: "You said that the magician is going to trade Giannis? Is this really the case?"

The reporter nodded: "Several media broke the news."

Downs: "Who is the bargaining chip?"

The reporter was a little embarrassed and said: "I'm not sure about this, I can say anything. However, Barnes and the first-round pick are certain. As for other players, Murray and Brogdon are both possible."

"Damn it!" Downs turned his head and left after hearing this, and he could feel the anger just by looking at his back.

The Lakers' Sky One plane flew back to Los Angeles, and the team bus was waiting at the airport to take the players back to their residences.

The first thing Downs did when he returned to Zijin Apartment was to tell Yuan Qingshan the news he had inquired from the reporter.

Yuan Qingshan knew about it a long time ago, and he didn't know how to persuade Tang Si who was in a rage.

After the Bucks finished the game, the Lakers went to challenge the Jazz away. The Jazz had Yuan Qingshan's old teammate Lyles. Unfortunately, Lyles sprained his foot last week, so he didn't play in this game.

After returning from Salt Lake City to rest for two days, the next game is on February 2th, and there are only a dozen days left before the trade deadline. There are rumors flying around among the teams, some of which are obviously fake news, such as trading Klay Thompson for Cousins, and trading Paul for half of the Rockets.

Other seemingly reliable transactions have basically entered the substantive stage, and everyone is keeping in mind that if there is no better choice on February 2, they will make a decision.

The magician has been so busy these days that he has called almost every manager.

Jenny Buss and the magician even hid these things from Wharton. It is best to make a surprise attack on such a transaction, otherwise rumors will spread. If the transaction fails, won't it affect the atmosphere of the team and the emotions of the players.

Starting from the away game against the Bucks, the magician frequently entered and exited Jenny's office at the Staples Center every day. Laughlin heard some rumors more or less, and she told Yuan Qingshan the information she had.

Among them is about himself: the Cavaliers still want to exchange Irving for Yuan Qingshan, and Jenny refused again.

February 2th is the New Orleans All-Star Game, and February 17th is the trade deadline. It stands to reason that the All-Stars are in front, and everyone should pay more attention to the All-Star Game.

The fact is that with the announcement of the All-Star votes one after another, the suspense of the All-Stars is getting less and less, but there are more and more rumors about the trade.

WOJ: Paul George wants to play in Los Angeles.

WOJ: Pacers refuse to listen to all offers on Paul George.

Yuan Qingshan knew that the second one was false, the magician had contacted the Pacers as early as January, and the Pacers are making this kind of wind now, but they just want to pay less.

Paul George's meaning is obvious: I still have a half-year contract, I just want to go to Los Angeles, and I won't renew my contract with other teams, so you can only get the right to use me for half a season.

In this form, which team dares to bet, especially those small teams in small markets, and they have no confidence that they can keep him next summer.

The next day, after the magician was fined for inappropriate remarks, Paul George was also fined $5 by the league.

The Pacers breathed a sigh of relief. He will not talk nonsense in front of the media for a while. The league has finally done a good thing and can buy some time and space for them to go out and bargain.

Then came the news about the Knicks. The relationship between Phil Jackson and Carmelo Anthony deteriorated further. Phil was determined to send Anthony away, but Anthony's property and his wife's career were in New York, so he didn't want to leave very much.

On Boston: Celtics looking to trade star players for Nets picks.

This year, the Celtics have the right to swap with the Nets in the first round. The Nets' current record is 9 wins and 47 losses, ranking first in the league, so this pick is too valuable.

Other teams began to speculate on Angie's asking price, but Angie did not disclose a word to the media. He contacted several teams, all of them back to back, and the content of the plan was never made public.

What is certain is that none of the teams contacted by Angie said anything good about Angie.

Everyone is prepared for this. Angie is the kind of businessman who "you may make money, but I will never lose money".

The magician once again proposed to contact the Celtics. There are many young players and draft picks there, and they will definitely be able to exchange for suitable chips.

Jenny Buss was angry at the time, and threw a thick stack of documents on the desk: "Mr. Johnson, don't think that I don't know that you have contacted Angie. Today I want to reiterate again: don't trade with Angie, don't trade with Angie, never trade with Angie!"

The magician hurriedly nodded and said yes, and then secretly sent a message: "There is an insider, the transaction is cancelled."

Angie immediately replied with a frustrated expression, if the Lakers are willing to trade, the Celtics will definitely soar.

Angie's proposal is: Whiteside, Murray and Brogdon change the Nets' picks.

Experts don't understand why Ainge is so eager to sell the pick. You must know that this pick is Garnett and Pierce's last assist to Boston.

Markelle Fultz, Lonzo Ball, Jayson Tatum and Josh Jackson are confirmed candidates for the 2017 election. They all said that this year is a big year, and the number one pick is so valuable!

Few people can understand Angie, so he will take advantage all the way.

Another rumor about the Lakers broke out: the Bulls want to trade Jimmy Butler for Yuan Qingshan and Brogdon.

Yuan Qingshan absolutely does not believe that the team will use himself to trade players like Butler. This rumor makes Yuan Qingshan care about: the team may really start with Brogdon.

For the Lakers, Towns may be the only one who has not been caught in trade rumors. After all, he is the No. [-] pick. No matter how well Yuan Qingshan plays, only his own coaches and teammates understand him deeply.

In the eyes of others, his trade value is still not as high as Downs. The NBA is a long-term game, and a big man like Towns is a scarce resource at any time.

Then, the league announced that Carmelo Anthony would replace the injured Love in the New Orleans All-Star Game.

Then the news about the Cavaliers came out: The Cavaliers hope to continue to strengthen, and the goal is Carmelo Anthony.
