Chapter 611 The deal is reached
Ying Xiong is very clear about Gay's thoughts. This season can be said to be his contract year (the 2014-2015 season has a player option). .The Raptors now have a lot of wing players. Even if they are on the bench, there are still high-level rookies like Terrence Ross who need to be trained, and pitchers like Landry Fields and Steve Novak are available.Gay swings as a 2-4 position. Only when the team plays a large and a small lineup for a long time or for a long time, otherwise his playing time is still very limited.

Because Gay refused to give in, the Raptors management was also very anxious, fearing that it would affect the defense of the title, so they could only choose to trade him.However, if you want to trade players at the beginning of the season, the timing is naturally not as good as the offseason or the trade deadline. During this time period, most teams have no idea of ​​trading, and teams with trading ideas will not bid high.

The Raptors Guy applied for a trade. Although the specific situation has not been exposed, it has already been rumored in the circle.There are all versions. At this time of transaction, the chips will definitely be discounted, and it is difficult to exchange for chips of equivalent value.

However, the Raptors can't afford to wait. They don't want to see the situation continue to deteriorate. Since they have to choose between DeRozan and Gay, and they don't want to give up DeRozan, they can only choose to trade Gay. .

Gay is in good health and is in his prime. He is a good supplement for immediate combat power. Although the contract is big, it will only take two years to fully play.Even if he chooses to implement the player option for the last year, it is a very good expiring contract with a certain transaction value.

After Gay learned that the team planned to trade him, the request he made was to hope that the team would trade him to a team that needed him. It didn't matter whether it was a strong team or not.He promised the team to work hard to help the team win before he was traded.

But the relationship has been broken, and trying to help the team win is not that easy.Throughout November, the Raptors' record was 11 wins and 5 losses, which seems inappropriate for a team aiming to defend the title.

Throughout November, Ying Xiong still played well, but he still couldn't help the team win more games.In the regular season, he will not work hard, and the current situation of the team cannot be solved by relying on his hard work.

The management of the Raptors was as anxious as ants on a hot pot when they saw the team's situation.They put Guy on the shelves a long time ago, either because they wanted to rob him, or because the other party wanted to take the opportunity to sell junk contracts. In short, there were too few sincere buyers.

Finally, when the time came to December 12, the dust on Gay's deal was finally settled.The Sacramento Kings sent John Salmons, Charles Hayes, Greivis Vasquez and Patrick Patterson to the Raptors for Rudy Gay, Quincy Assi and Aaron Gray.

In this deal, the Raptors side is based on Gay, while the Kings side is based on Patterson and Vasquez, and the rest of the players are additions.

For the Raptors, Salmons and Hayes don't mean much to the team. These two are too old, and the team doesn't have their rotation position.Patterson is the stretch 4 they've been craving, and Vasquez is a solid low-key guard.

With Vasquez, that means DJ Augustin's time with the team is running out.The next day, the Raptors announced the layoff of DJ Augustin.

For the Raptors, Gay's departure will have some impact on the team's strength, but in the long run, they don't need a team that occupies a lot of salary space but can't help the team too much and hinder the young people in the team Grow players.

As the boss of the team, Ying Xiong publicly blessed Guy on his social media and welcomed new players such as Patterson to join.

On December 12, the Raptors faced last season's final opponent, the San Antonio Spurs, in their first home game after the trade.In this game, the new players are not yet available, so they still rely on the previous team to play.

In this game, the Raptors showed a different mental outlook than before. They dared to fight and fight hard on the court, which was very similar to the energy of last season's playoffs.Their crowd rejoiced that the long-lost King of the North was back.However, due to poor hand feeling, they regretted losing to their old opponents in this game.

As of December 12, the Raptors had a record of 11 wins and 7 losses, ranking last in the Eastern Conference.You know, their record last season was 13 wins and 68 losses, which makes people sigh.

The best player in the Eastern Conference in November is naturally impossible to be Yingxiong. With such a poor record, no matter how good the personal data is, he will not be considered as a candidate.

Yingxiong's fans are very worried that if this continues, Yingxiong's regular season MVP will basically be yellow, let alone defending the title, whether the team can make the playoffs is in doubt.

On December 12, before the start of the Raptors' in-team training, each player received a small gift from captain Yingxiong.This small gift is an earphone with a small piece of paper on it that reads: "Forget the unpleasantness ahead and welcome a new starting point!"

On December 12, the Raptors continued to fight against the Philadelphia 14ers.

Since the team's core Iguodala left, the 76ers missed the playoffs last season. The team has many rookies, and there are also many high-level rookies, but they have not been able to play and become an All-Star or even a superstar.Not to mention superstars, there is not even a superstar embryo.In this way, it is very embarrassing. If you work hard and fail to make the playoffs, and there is no high draft pick, this team will make people see no hope.

The only thing that gives the 76ers some comfort is the tall guard Michael Carter-Williams they selected with the 11th pick in the first round of this year's draft.As a tall point guard with a height of 198cm, McAway has played the best performance among rookies so far.

But even so, compared with those top rookies in the big year, McAway is just "the big one among the dwarves". It doesn't matter how much superstar potential he has. He couldn't play in this game because of injuries.

This campaign encountered last season's regular season champion. If you look at the matchup record last season, even if it is a home game, the 76ers don't have much hope.However, the Raptors' record this season is shabby enough, and the two teams can be regarded as brothers and sisters.

In this game, the starting lineup of the Raptors at home is: center - Valanciunas, power forward - Amir Johnson, small forward - DeMar DeRozan, shooting guard - Ying Xiong, Point guard - Jeremy Lin.

The starting lineup of the 76ers in the away game is: center - Spencer Hawes, power forward - Thaddeus Young, small forward - Hollis Thompson, shooting guard - Evan Turner, point guard — Tony Roten.
