Super Evolution of Basketball

Chapter 613 We Are the Champions

So when the Cavaliers uniform team came into contact with the Portland Trail Blazers, they found that they finally found the right direction.

After Aldridge left, the Blazers were left with Lillard and CJ McCollum, a pair of backcourt double guns. The two have sufficient offensive firepower, but the upper limit is also there.

The boss's patience is running low and he has been putting pressure on the uniform team to make changes to the lineup.

Now receiving the trade request from the Cavaliers, the Trail Blazers uniform team was stunned for a moment, and then quickly realized that this may be an excellent opportunity to make changes.

It was Uncle Drew who brought it to his mouth!

Kyrie Irving's strength is not weaker than Lillard's, and he has also proved himself in the finals, can bring championship experience to the team, all have a maximum salary, the salary is similar, and it can be connected almost seamlessly.

After the general manager reported the matter to the boss, the boss immediately agreed. He estimated that Kyrie Irving could bring more popularity to the team.

So the deal between Kyrie Irving and Lillard was finalized overnight, and the uniform teams on both sides kept it completely secret, and did everything well before reporters found out.

Quicken Loans Center, Cleveland.

David Griffin: "This is what happened. The cause is still in Kyrie. We don't understand why he wants to force Gilbert to trade himself...or trade you."

After hearing this, LeBron James has nothing to say.

In fact, since entering the playoffs, he has noticed the strangeness of Kyrie Irving. This guy has not spoken to his teammates for almost a month.

Until the finals, the weird relationship between Kyrie Irving and the team reached the extreme. LeBron James knew that the loss of the finals accelerated Kyrie Irving's collapse.

But on the other hand, maybe it was his relationship with the team that led to the finals defeat.

But it's useless to think about it now, Kyrie Irving is gone, Damian Lillard is here, this is reality.

David Griffin wanted to continue talking, but LeBron James stopped him with a wave of his hand: "Okay, David, I can prove that you are not to blame for this, and it is not easy for you to trade Damian under such circumstances."

Speaking, LeBron James pushed the door and walked out. He has a very good relationship with Lillard and is now a teammate. It makes no sense not to contact him immediately to say a few words.

Looking at the back of LeBron James, David Griffin opened his mouth and muttered, "Actually, it's not just Damian, there's also a first-round pick."

There was a knock at the gate of the gymnasium, LeBron James had already left the stadium, and David Griffin was stretched out on the leather chair, who knows what a terrible 24 hours he has just experienced.

Hope it turns out well.

The trade had just happened, and everything hadn't been settled yet, so Damian Lillard was still in Portland, and LeBron James could only give him a call.

Lillard was so excited to be able to play with his idol. He held on to the phone and talked about the future for two hours. LeBron James was amused by his state and had to remind him that the Cavaliers were not the defending champions. They had just lost to the Lakers in the Finals.

Lillard said excitedly that the next time he meets the Lakers, he will definitely give Yuan Qingshan a little color. In the future, no matter who it is, don't try to make a wrong idea on the number one Cavaliers.

After another half an hour, Lillard hung up the phone reluctantly.

LeBron James told Yuan Qingshan about these things.

Yuan Qingshan knew about the deal between Lillard and Irving last night. Don't forget, Lillard is a player under the Gakki agency, and he signed with both basketball and entertainment.

Gakki discussed this matter with Yuan Qingshan, and Yuan Qingshan of course agreed. Being able to play with LeBron James is a great thing for Lillard.

As for why the Cavaliers suddenly proposed a trade, Yuan Qingshan can make a good guess about it. After all, Yuan Qingshan has experienced Kyrie Irving's weird performance in the finals. He called James just to confirm it.

Facts have proved that Yuan Qingshan's guess is correct. There is a big problem between Kyrie Irving and the Cavaliers, or LeBron James!
This matter is beneficial to LeBron James, Damian Lillard, and the Cavaliers.

It is only a loss for Kyrie Irving. He went to Portland alone, and he no longer has the protection of No. 23. It is foreseeable that the new duo formed by him and CJ McCollum will not go far, because their defense is too bad!
On the phone, LeBron James reminded Yuan Qingshan again not to be emotional and spend all his time on Paul George. Yuan Qingshan said he knew.

Then James laughed inexplicably on the phone. Yuan Qingshan unilaterally ended the call after saying goodbye. He could imagine LeBron James' smug face at this moment.

"This summer's arms race is really terrifying. The Cavaliers have dealt with the tumor and ushered in a new life. Their strength has been raised to another level."

Hearing Yuan Qingshan's sigh, gakki also became anxious, and quickly used the system to screen the information of free agents.

No one thought that the NBA would be in such a mess in the summer of 2017. At present, the managers of various teams are almost afraid to sleep, for fear that when they wake up, their favorite stars will be cut off by others.

Magic Johnson is the most serious of them. He is going to have a nervous breakdown. The first thing he does every day when he opens his eyes is to brush up rumors.

After Kawhi Leonard was sent to the bitterly cold place of the Raptors, he didn't sit still. He kept telling the media that he would soon cooperate with a superstar.

The magician swiped his phone and snorted: "This guy's team is always creating troubles and cooperating with superstars? Don't you have Kyle Lowry? This is the superstar you hit."

Being able to say such a sentence seemed to bring him pleasure, and the humiliation buried in his heart by being played by Leonard's team eased a little.

With a swipe of his finger, the magician looked around, but there was no news of Paul George.

Just as he was about to put down his phone, a call came in from Paul George's manager's uncle.

"The two most annoying uncles in the world!" the magician complained.

"Mr. Erwin, I think the previously agreed agreement needs to be extended for another half a month." The other party said.

The magician said angrily, "What, you want us to keep the maximum salary for you until late August?"

Opponent: "Yes, think about it, you can get the effectiveness of a champion striker, isn't it worth the wait?"

The magician couldn't bear it anymore: "I'm sorry, in addition to the champion forward, we also have the champion point guard, the champion point guard, the champion power forward, and the champion center. Do you want me to continue to count down? We are the champion!"
