Chapter 226 Little Flying Squirrel Damon Stoudemire (210)

However, because Randolph does have some strength on the court, the team management has also endured all kinds of negative news about him off the court.

And in the middle of the season, several role players who had major conflicts with Randolph have been sent away one after another.

In fact, the so-called major conflicts are nothing more than the jealousy of women and some verbal quarrels.

But Randolph, who has a bad temper, fought with his teammates several times in the training hall.

For the sake of the team's internal atmosphere, the team management also sent away several role players.

And this season, the flying mouse Stoudemire and Randolph have always had a normal relationship.

Because the flying mouse is only 1.7 meters tall, his height also limits his role on the court.

However, as a left-handed player, Stoudemire's offensive ability is indeed very good.

However, he has been carrying the name of data brush since his debut.

It's not unreasonable to have this title, because the flying mouse Stoudemire averaged less than [-]% of his field goals in his career.

Although he averaged 15.8 points per game this season, he only shot 30.00% from the field.

If it's on a playoff-caliber team, of course no one will say anything.

However, the Trail Blazers have decided to play badly this season and practice for the team's rookie player Randolph.

And this year is another contract year for Stoudemire. Of course, he wants to get more perfect data and seek a big contract for next year.

So the number of shots per game also made Randolph feel dissatisfied.

As for the name of Little Flying Squirrel's data brush, it is very loud in the entire NBA.

For a playoff-level team, putting him on the bench is definitely a point-grabbing weapon.

Because as long as he doesn't need him to do other things on the court, he only needs to make crazy shots on the court to score, which is the greatest contribution to the team.

But for a team that has decided to play badly and train young players, this style of play is like a cancer.

So in the middle of the season, the Blazers directly put Stoudemire, the flying mouse, on the shelves.

But the embarrassing thing is that the strong team that is interested in him wants to trade him to add firepower to the bench lineup, and the team really can't come up with any good bargaining chips.

As for the teams that can no longer make the playoffs, they are all concentrating on playing poorly, and they don't need such players.

Even in this embarrassing situation, Stoudemire, the flying mouse, was not traded until the trade deadline.

Because the Flying Squirrel averaged 15 points, 4 rebounds and 6 assists per game this season.

If you don't look at his shooting percentage of only 39%, this data is definitely very good.

So at the beginning of the season, the Blazers must have a first-round pick in order to trade Stoudemire.

But as time went by, no team has been interested in him, which made the Blazers very embarrassing.

In the end, I had to change my willingness to only need a young player, plus a second-round pick.

But even so, other teams are only willing to give out one second-round pick at most, and they are not willing to give out young players.

Of course, the Blazers will not agree to this request.

This can be said to be like taking advantage of the fire, and it is precisely because of this that until the trade deadline, Stoudemire finally remained in the team helplessly.

The Blazers thought that since it was a contract year anyway, they would definitely not renew his contract next year.

The big deal is to keep him in the team this year to provide some experience for young players. In any case, Stoudemire is 32 years old this year.

Having been in this league for many years, he must have sufficient experience on the court.

After all, when he first joined the alliance, he was once called the successor of the smiling assassin.

It's just that as the season progressed, Little Flying Squirrel's style of play seriously affected Randolph's growth.

And during training, the two also broke out a fierce quarrel.

You must know that although Little Flying Squirrel took many shots on the court and his shooting percentage was not high, it was also because of his limited height that he was subject to many restrictions.

In normal times, the little flying mouse Stoudemire has a very good personality, which can be called gentle and gentle.

Since a fierce conflict broke out with Randolph, it must be that Randolph is too bullying in normal times.

Afterwards, under the mobilization of his agent, Randolph forced the management, saying that between him and Stoudemire, the flying mouse, the team can only leave one.

Faced with such a request, no matter who it is, they will definitely leave the former.

But the trade deadline has passed, and even if the Blazers want to sell him at a loss, there is no way to do it.

So in the previous life, probably at this stage, the Blazers management found the little flying mouse in private.

The two sides are discussing the buyout of the contract, but the two sides have not reached a consensus on the buyout.

The idea of ​​the Blazers is that I will give you two-thirds of the remaining salary, and in the future, you will take the money and our cooperation will come to an end.

You can also go home early to rest, so that the team can fully focus on training Randolph.

But now Stoudemire is 32 years old, and this year is a contract year. If he is bought out by the team, it will have a great impact on next year's contract signing.

So of course he wants to stay on the court, and work hard to get a good stat, and seek a good contract for next year.

After all, at the age of 32, next year's contract year can definitely be called the last contract of Little Flying Squirrel's career.

So facing the Blazers' proposal, Stoudemire certainly would not agree.

Of course everyone likes to make money lying down, but if you compare it with your own career planning, it must be clear who is big and who is small.

That's it, in the previous life, Stoudemire, who had been playing the team's starting lineup before, could only play as a substitute in the end.

Now that the talks with the team have collapsed, Flying Squirrel is on the last year of his contract, and the Trail Blazers will definitely not renew his contract next year, so of course he will not let him continue to have a good time.

A person who will definitely be lost next year, and a player who will be trained by the team in the future, this choice must not require the Blazers management to think about it at all.

It was precisely because of this sudden thought that Liu Rui hurriedly prepared to fly to Portland.

As a reborn person, I have a natural advantage for what is about to happen.

And because he has a lot of information that others don't know, Liu Rui still has great confidence in persuading Damon Stoudemire to his subordinates...
