The strongest basket king

Chapter 104 A New Beginning

During the training camp period, the outside teams have already made various moves. The most lively one is the Rockets. They continue to trade and sign contracts. After the training camp, Jeremy Lin also became a Rockets player.

The Lakers also received heavy news that the team traded two first-round and two second-round picks, plus transaction exceptions and cash, in exchange for Nash.

Nash is old, but Kobe is also old. In order to continue to win the championship while Kobe's combat power is still there, the outside world generally believes that the Lakers' operations are very good. After all, they did not send away any combat power.

Xiang Chu was also very happy after being surprised. After all, Nash's passing is a master level, and he really hopes to cooperate with the passing master.

After returning from the training camp, Xiang Chu paid a little attention to the progress of the Olympic Games, and usually still trains.

As for things like the summer league, he doesn't need to pay attention now.

He has saved some money now, and has been letting Jim Smith pay attention to suitable houses, but he didn't expect that the other party suddenly called in a hurry.

"Xiang Chu, there is one thing you must know. I just got news that the Lakers' negotiations to trade Howard are close to a success, but they may have involved you."

After Xiang Chu and Jim Smith talked for a long time, he was a little stunned. He thought that he had nothing to do with him this summer, but he didn't expect such a big news at this time.

If you think about it carefully, there are signs, that is, no players were involved in Nash's trade. The Lakers certainly did not stop so early in the summer. The performance of the Twin Towers in the playoffs was not very satisfactory.

However, Xiang Chu had been thinking about changing one of the twin towers to an All-Star guard, and then he would take the position.

After Nash was traded, he didn't think about it anymore. Now it seems that the main goal of the Lakers has always been Howard.

Xiang Chu quickly called Mike Brown. His relationship with the head coach this season is still good.

"Xiang, I can't intervene in the management affairs for the time being. They must want Howard, but I will give them advice and try to keep you." Mike Brown said uncertainly.

magic?Are you going to the east? It feels so far away.

A few days later, Kobe, who had already gone to London, was the first to get the news that the Lakers got Howard.

After getting the news from Kobe, Xiang Chu also got the official notice from the team very quickly.

The main bargaining chip in this deal is Bynum, and Xiang Chu is only a part of it.

The reality is that the Magic didn't take a fancy to the two of them at all, and the deal involved four teams.

Howard wants to leave the team, not only the Lakers, other teams have better bargaining chips, willing to give away immediate combat power, draft picks and eat garbage contracts, but the Magic obviously don't think about these.

They pay more attention to outside immediate combat power, draft picks, and they don't care much about potential rookies inside.

They may want to train outside players, because they don't want Bynum, and Xiang Chu is a low-profile version of Howard in their eyes, and they don't want it. In fact, it is the Nuggets who strongly want to add Xiang Chu.

For this reason, they are willing to have an extra first-round pick and a starter, which is their tasteless insider.

This bargaining chip definitely cannot be exchanged for Xiang Chu, the key is to take this opportunity to gamble, Kobe is getting older, the Lakers are not even willing to wait for Bynum, let alone wait for Xiang Chu's growth.

Originally, Xiang Chu was just insurance, but now they can fight to get Howard.

The Nuggets also worked hard. They sent three main players, two in the first round and one in the second round. Of course, they got a lot of money. They got Iguodala and Xiang Chu.

In order to get Bynum, the 76ers lost the key player Iguodala just after the black eight.

However, for the 76ers, they have no patience for Iguodala's non-aggressive outside core, and they will definitely have to trade in the last year of the contract if they don't plan to renew the contract.

On the surface, the Magic are a bit at a disadvantage, and the other teams get what they need.

But the actual situation will depend on the start of next season, whether it is a dragon or a worm will not be known until it has been played.

Xiang Chu was depressed for two days, but soon understood that leaving the Lakers was also an opportunity, otherwise he could only play a supporting role when he came to Howard, but he had the opportunity to be a leading role in other teams.

The Nuggets are still a little better than the other two teams, and they are still in the West.

But as far as the city is concerned, it must be far inferior to Los Angeles, and Jim Smith can't figure it out.

"There were several commercial contracts that were already in the pipeline. When you were traded away, those bastards began to wait and see."

"Don't worry, I'll get a higher price soon." After thinking it through, Xiang Chu was full of confidence.

"It's just Denver...hey!"

Jim Smith is still depressed. It's an inland city. It's not as good as Los Angeles, and it's a little far away. He still has to consider whether to hire an assistant to take charge of Xiangchu.

In fact, no city with an NBA team can be considered small, but there is indeed a gap compared to the top big cities in the United States.

But it's a done deal, and Jim Smith has no other options.

Xiang Chu plans to rent a big house first, and he will be traded after playing well in the team. Xiang Chu is not sure how long he can stay in Denver, but if he has a good house to buy, he can be considered a little rich now.

"They will regret it."

Life goes on, and so does social media.

Xiang Chu spoke out for the first time after being traded, and it also attracted a lot of attention, even some media were attracted.

If you don't want to use it, there will be news of Xiang Chu's revenge declaration soon, and there is nothing wrong with it.

Many fans below are comforting, and some think leaving the Lakers is also an opportunity.

But it soon went astray again, because some diehard fans surrounded the comparison between Xiang Chu and Howard, and surpassed some groups of so-called rational fans.

Xiang Chu is also used to this kind of thing, so it's just a small wave of popularity, isn't it?

Now that he has been traded, Xiang Chu did not continue to stay in Los Angeles.

Most of the summer team members were not here. Xiang Chu originally wanted to invite a few familiar buddies to dinner, but later changed to call to say hello.

He first went back to San Francisco and stayed with Xiang Jianzhong for a few days, and then moved to Denver when Jim Smith found a house.

In fact, he can go there later, but Xiang Chu is used to adapting to the environment earlier.

The monthly rent of [-] US dollars is not bad for an ordinary villa. It is not far from the Nuggets' training hall and has a garage. It is much larger than the small commercial house in Los Angeles.

Xiang Chu simply picked up the car, and it cost more than 4 dollars, a big jeep.

In September, Xiang Chu met with the Nuggets management and contacted the team's head coach George Karl, and officially moved to Denver.

"A new journey," he wrote on social media.

His fans still responded enthusiastically, unlike those snobbish media.

However, I haven't seen Olivia speak for a few days, and that guy seems to be busy these days. Xiang Chu was thinking about it when he received a call from Olivia.
