I stole James

Chapter 178 Cavaliers Lineup for the New Season

After the 2004 draft, the Cavaliers rushed to make another deal.

They sent Tony Batty and Kedrick Brown to the Magic for Drew Gooden, Anderson Varejao and a 2005 second-round pick.

Since then, the personnel of the Cavaliers has changed a lot from last season, most of them are new faces, and there are many rookies, a complete youth team.

The oldest players are Big Z and McGinnis, both of whom entered the league in 96.

Zach Randolph's 2001 show, Drew Gooden's 2002 show, James' 2003 show.

The other Chris Paul, Tony Allen, Trevor Ariza and Varejao were all rookies in 2004.

A team composed of so many inexperienced young people, although vigorous, is also inexperienced. Therefore, the prospects of the Cavaliers this year are not optimistic about the prospects of the Cavaliers. They think that the Cavaliers may continue this year. Can't make it to the playoffs.

Although they have James, James is very powerful and awesome, and everyone in the league knows this now, but who else is there besides James?
Big Z?He was a year older and moved more slowly.

Zach Randolph?Still no one believes that he can get better. Most people think that he will become the biggest problem in the Cavaliers locker room. They don’t need to look at other things. The team was so messed up that they couldn't make it to the playoffs.

McGinnis?He didn't have such an amazing performance in the Cavaliers last season. He can only be regarded as a role player.

And then a bunch of rookies?Chris Paul with the eighth pick, Tony Allen with the No.19 pick, Varejao with the No.30 pick, Ariza with the No.40 pick, don’t need to say much, just look at them Their draft picks are so late, and so many teams in the front did not draft them, which proves that many people are not optimistic about them.

A brand-new Cavaliers team built in this way simply makes the bricks and commentators see no hope.

Of course, many Cavaliers fans also feel that such a lineup is unreliable. Many people scolded the Cavaliers management on the Internet for their inaction, and did not trade James for a strong enough All-Star to assist James.

If you can’t get Kobe and Tracy McGrady, then can you get in touch with them and see if you can trade for shooters like Ray Allen or Michael Reid? If they can come to the Cavaliers, then just make a good shooting posture , Ready to receive James' pass and throw the ball in at any time, it will definitely hit the opponent vigorously.

It's a pity, it's a pity that a bastard like Randolph was actually exchanged.

It's a pity, it's a pity, it seems that the operation is as fierce as a tiger, but it hasn't been exchanged for a useful player.

In front of these comments, the management of the Cavaliers felt a little bitter,

Really, many of these operations are not determined by their will...

This team has been faintly controlled by a certain team leader.

……

……

When many people were pessimistic about the prospects of the Cavaliers in the new season, James' good brother Wade's team made a big deal and shocked the league.

The Heat traded Odom, Caron Butler, Brian Grant, the 2006 first-round pick, and the 2007 second-round pick to the Lakers in exchange for the league's number one center, Shaquille O'Neal.

After the transaction happened, Wade was very happy. After he called O'Neal to welcome O'Neal to join the Heat, he immediately called James and wanted his brother to share his joy.

"Brother, I'm so happy, we made a big deal! It's great!" Wade couldn't wait to say loudly when the phone was just connected.

"Congratulations..." James said with a smile.

"We are going to win the championship in the new season, hahaha, you know, now some people say that the combination of me and O'Neal can be as good as the 'OK' combination, I am so happy!" Wade laughed loudly.

"Hey, we are both in the east, you have to pass our level first if you want to win the championship. You must know that we beat you up."

"Hahaha, you can't. The past season was just an accident. In the new season, your team's lineup is too young, but I have confidence in you. You just need more time to practice."

"Okay, don't beat us to pieces in the new season." James grabbed the phone receiver with one hand, rubbed his face with the other hand, and thought about the strength of the Heat's lineup. In his previous life, after the Heat got O'Neal It won the championship soon.

"Just wait and see, now our opponents in the Eastern Conference are only the Pistons, hahaha..." Wade still smiled complacently, "By the way, the Nuggets also made a deal. With Kenyon Martin, their team has also been improved. Next season, you may be the only one of the three of us who won't make the playoffs, hehe..."

"You guys are very confident. We can gamble again. The bet is still the summer travel arrangement."

"Hahaha, this is definitely possible. This time I will definitely win it back. I am now full of confidence in the new season."

After Wade and James finished talking on the phone, they immediately connected to Anthony and asked Anthony if he wanted to bet on the team's regular season record again.

Anthony said that LeBron dared to bet, so of course he dared. Although the competition in the West is fierce, the strength of their Nuggets has also improved, and he is confident that he will not lose.

The two of them agreed on the phone that James will definitely lose this time. The Cavaliers have so many rookies, and the running-in of the new season is a big problem. Even if they can produce a chemical reaction, they will not be able to play well at the beginning.

This time they finally seized the opportunity to make James suffer.

……

……

After O'Neal's big deal happened, another big deal happened in the league. The Magic traded their scoring leader McGrady, which made the Cavaliers fans scold the Cavaliers management again.

These two big transactions have attracted the attention and discussion of countless fans. Which team can benefit from the transaction, which team can perform well after the transaction, and which team will become the big loser of the transaction. , etc. These issues are what fans and media commentators pay attention to and are happy to talk about.

Corresponding to the excitement, James went to China to participate in Li Ning's China tour. After the event, when many players were still on vacation, he took the initiative to launch a team training camp and called on his teammates to join in. Training run-in.

With so many rookies next season, the lineup is indeed a big problem, so he has to go one step ahead.
