Add one, I'm not very good at fighting

Barter Stern, Li Ang's loyal toolman, really found a team that meets all these harsh conditions, the only one in the league!

The next day, the whole of Toronto was shaken.

Because only a week after the transfer market opened, Li Ang's deal was finalized!

The headlines on the front pages of all the Toronto newspapers are all news about Li Ang, breaking news:

Toronto's demigod descends on the Motown!

189: New Bad Boy Legion (Ask for a Monthly Ticket!)

Only a few years after Joe Dumars retired, he has become Joe Dumars.

The suit of XXXXL is already a bit difficult to wear on the body.

And, like most people.After Dupansi retired, he went bald.Now he looks like a fat and bald old man.

Seriously, young players might be surprised to learn that the NBA's "sportsmanlike style award" is named after him.

This guy doesn't look stylish at all, and besides, he's a member of the Bad Boys Legion!

he?Sportsmanship award?

What an international joke!

In this case, then Li Ang is simply the most polite player in the league.

In fact, Dumars is really a wonderful flower in the bad boy army.

In the Pistons team where the rich second-generation Bill Lambiel didn't fight well on the basketball court, he could only go back to inherit the family business and beat people at every turn.

On a Pistons team where the smiling assassin can say hundreds of trash words a game.

Joe Dumas was just doing his own thing in silence. He was low-key, restrained, and gentle.

Nima vividly embodies the phrase "get out of the mud but not stained".

A member of the Bad Boys Corps, he was the first recipient of the Sportsmanship Award.

What does this amount to?It is equivalent to mixing a serious basketball player among a bunch of fighters.

On the day of the award, Dumars thanked his teammates.

Everyone knows that Dumars' gratitude to his teammates is by no means hypocritical, because it really depends on his teammates.

Because of this, Dumars was able to enter the management of the Pistons immediately after retiring.

After only one year of study, he became the general manager of the Pistons.

Although he is a gentle and gentle person, he also knows how the Pistons won the championship that year.

He himself is a good guy, but he doesn't reject bad guys.Even, he thinks that if a team wants to succeed, it must need some ruthless characters.

And this summer, Dumars felt his chance had come.

He had several plans and he decided to bring in several players.

For example, the one sitting in front of him at this time.

"Joe, really, you don't know how I got here all these years. The NBA has made me rich, and I hold myself to the NBA's standards.

But I was also overwhelmed, I cried.why am i cryingBecause they called me a parallel importer!

Just because they never taught me to play like a super guard.

I'm not a parallel importer. Last season in the Timberwolves, I feel that I have found myself.

However, the outside world still does not believe that I can survive in the NBA.They are still saying that Chauncey Billups is simply the Celtics' worst draft pick of the last century.

My agent told me that for justice, we must go to His Excellency Joe Dumas! "

Billups was crying at Dumars's desk, and Dumars waved his hand like a godfather, ready to ask his assistant to give Billups a glass of wine to calm down.

But he was stunned for a few seconds before he realized...

I have a fart assistant, and it's not really a black boss.

Dumas cleared his throat in embarrassment, and said that last night, don't watch gangster movies, don't watch gangster movies, let's get into the drama!

"Why didn't you come to me before you went to the Timberwolves?" Dumars asked again.

"I... I was traded!"

"Oh, that's all right. That's it, Chauncey. I know, you've had a hard time the last few years.

You tell me what you think is holding you back from being the player you want to be.No matter what you say, I can assure you that you won't have such obstacles in Detroit.

This team is unlike any team you've been on before, and Detroit isn't as bleak as Boston and Denver, nor as wild as Minneapolis.

This is the city of cars, and a car, you know, needs every part to be perfect in order to go far.

You're the kind of guard we're looking for, you were in Minneapos, next to your big brother Terrell Brandon, you learned how to control the game, you can be our engine.

And I also know that controlling the game is not everything to you.You can shoot threes, you can drive with the ball, you can do whatever you want in Detroit.

You don't have to be a super guard, you don't have to be Michael Jordan, you just have to be yourself. "

After Dumars finished speaking, he took Billups' hand.

Flounder was very grateful. For many years in the industry, this was the first time someone said to him: "You don't have to be Michael Jordan, you just need you to be yourself."

Bullshit, talk like he could be Jordan.

"only......"

Dumars' "just" made the sensitive Billups tense up.

Am I still looking for the wrong person?Detroit doesn't belong to me either?

"It's just, you know, our contract..."

"The contract is easy to negotiate, easy to negotiate. Let's go to the previously agreed price, 6 million in 3500 years. Wouldn't it be shallow to raise the money, let's make friends hahahaha." Billups hurriedly responded.

After playing well in the Timberwolves last season, Billups chose to test the waters of the free agent market.

After all, he averaged 22+5+5.7 per game in the playoffs last season, shooting 45% from the field and 40% from the three-point range!

This is the data of a quasi-All-Star guard.

Although the Timberwolves were swept out by the Mavericks in the first round, but...

Nowitzki averaged 33 points per game and beat Garnett. What does Billups have to do with me?

As a result, when he came to the free agent market, Billups found that no one liked himself at all.

Because his personality has been deeply ingrained, who would give a big contract to an immature parallel importer?

Therefore, although Dumars lowered the price, Billups was still willing to accept it.If you don't accept it, I'm afraid you won't even get the 3500 million!

"This...are you really willing to accept 6 million for 3500 years?"

"Yes, [-] yes! I don't have any money in my heart, only revive the Pistons, a big cause!" Billups patted his chest.

"That's all right, go back and rest for a while, live a few days and sign the contract with the agent."

After seeing Billups off, Dupansi patted the table.

Fuck, if I knew he was so straightforward, I would have lowered the price!

Forget it, 6 million in 3500 years is a big bargain.

Fatty Du is very clear that after finding himself in the Timberwolves, Billups has actually fulfilled his talent, and his performance in the playoffs is the best proof.

Billups' real worth is definitely more than 6 million in 3500 years.

But there is no way, the piston is poor!

If he wants the horse to run, but also wants the horse not to eat grass, Dumars can only find low-paying and high-powered players like Billups.

Dumars isn't looking for someone who's too expensive, or someone who stands out.

He firmly believes that basketball is a five-person sport.Even without superstars, you can piece together a top-notch team.

The matter of Billups is settled, and the Wizards' deal with Stackhouse for Hamilton has also been confirmed.

And now, Dumars has one more person to deal with.

It's just that he is struggling, whether this person is worth a first-round pick in 03!

Because the Pistons' first-round pick can be quite valuable, or it can be worthless.

Although the Pistons ranked second in the Eastern Conference last season, this draft pick was not the Pistons' own, but was taken from the Grizzlies in 1997.

In 97, Doug Collins, the general manager of the Pistons at the time, traded Thorpe for a protected draft pick in 2003 from the Grizzlies.

What is a protected choice mood?If the Grizzlies won the No. 2003 pick in [-], then the draft pick is protected and still belongs to the Grizzlies.

And if the Grizzlies can't draw the No. 2003 pick in [-], then the pick will go to the Pistons.

The Grizzlies thought at the time, six years later, how could I have grown into a playoff team.This draft pick is a hair on Jiu Niu's body.

Then it turns out that being a bear can never overestimate yourself.

The Grizzlies have all moved from Vancouver to Memphis to play cotton, and they are still the same teenagers as before.

How to be rotten or how to be rotten.

Although the Grizzlies had Pau Gasol last season, the team's record did not improve.

And the draft pick that the Pistons inadvertently took at that time turned out to be very valuable.

In Dumars' view, with the extraordinary strength of the Grizzlies, they have a very high probability of getting the No. [-] pick next season.

At that time, this draft pick will be worthless.

Besides, Dumars can't wait for rookies to grow.

What he is doing now is to create a team with immediate combat power and immediate results.

The Pistons were not meant to rebuild the team, and this draft pick can only be a surprise. They have no plan to train rookies.

After careful consideration, Dumars called Babcock.

If Li Ang can really join the Pistons, then next season's Detroit will be very different!

Babcock was moved, the Grizzlies' first-round pick in 2003, plus the Pistons' No. 14.6 scorer, veteran Clifford Robinson, who averaged [-] points per game and possessed three-point ability.

This is equivalent to future potential and immediate combat power, and the Pistons have given them both.

Although Robinson's salary does not match Li Ang's, because the Raptors' salary does not exceed the salary cap, they can be traded if they do not match.

The only question is whether this pick can be used for himself.

Joe Dumars believes that the probability of the Grizzlies getting the No. [-] lottery is extremely high.

But Babcock felt that it was just the opposite. The No. [-] lottery is not something you can get if you want.

The Nuggets, Clippers, Cavaliers, including the Raptors themselves, will be in a mess next season, and it will be fierce.

No matter what the Grizzlies say, there is still Paul Gasol holding back.

And the other teams really don't have any outstanding stars.On the road of being bad, it is bound to go further than the Grizzlies.

Therefore, Babcock feels that the Grizzlies may be the No. [-] pick.

Besides, there is nothing but cotton fields in Memphis, and Stern is crazy to throw the No. [-] lottery to that big rural area.

He decided to take a gamble. As long as the Grizzlies don't win the No. [-] pick, then the Grizzlies' pick can at least be in the top six.

Coupled with the Raptors' own draft picks, the Raptors will have two lottery picks in the summer of 03!

This Nima...

Not better than Li Angxiang?

After thinking about it all night, Babcock decided to take a gamble.

He bet that the Grizzlies won't get the No. [-] pick, and he bet that Dumars won't get a bullet in his pick.

And just like that, the transaction happened.

The Pistons used the 03 Grizzlies' first-round protected pick + Clifford Robinson to introduce last season's second-team forward Li Ang from the Toronto Raptors!

Billups, Hamilton, Leon and Big Ben, Joe Dupans have built a team that has no superstars, but can burst out with great strength when integrated.
