NBA: This flower path is a bit strong.

Time gradually moved towards the end of 1995, and it was the NBA's player trading day on December 12!

After defeating the Bulls in late October, the Raptors are even more powerful.

In the first month, the team achieved 15 wins out of 9 games, ranking 4th in the Eastern Conference and 9th in the league.

Hanamichi also won the Best Rookie of the Month!

As for the Eastern Conference's first player of the month, it was Michael Jordan!

(Unexpectedly, it’s me again!)

However, as the schedule progressed, the Raptors' weak lineup was gradually magnified.

The two rookie cores are also gradually being targeted by other teams.

The Raptors didn't have an easy time in November.

In 11 games in November, the Raptors had 12 wins and 6 losses.

The overall record dropped from 4th in the East and 9th in the League to 6th in the East and 12th in the League.

On December 12, the Raptors lost to the Pacers on the road by 15 points yesterday.

They lost to the Celtics 103:122 on the road again! They lost two games in a row again!

Hanamichi scored 27 points, 15 rebounds, 5 assists and 3 blocks;

Das also scored 23 points, 5 rebounds, 10 assists and 2 steals.

But apart from the two of them, only Tracy Murray and Ed Pinkney from the entire Raptors scored 17 points.

No other player scored in double digits.

Especially Zayn Tabak, the guard who was just signed by the Raptors, played for 10 minutes, made 10 of 2 shots, and scored only 4 points!

After the game, not to mention the Raptors players who were exhausted both physically and mentally after playing consecutive away games.

Just to say that the team's head coach Landon Malone called general manager Masai Ujiri to complain.

"Ward God, man, I don't know how to describe it!"

"If we continue like this, we're gradually slipping out of the playoffs!"

"Just talking about Damon and Flower playing 38+ minutes in almost every game, they will be exhausted even if they make the playoffs!"

On the other end of the phone came the usual calm voice of General Manager Masai Ujiri:

"Don't worry, man!"

"Your hard times are about to end!"

"Believe me, you will hear the good news you want after the trading day opens the day after tomorrow!"

"I spent two months running around and talking my mouth off to get this!"

"I'll leave them to you!"

After saying that, a mature woman's teasing voice came from the other end of the phone.

Then, Masai Ujiri hung up the phone in a hurry!

"I hope what you mean by wearing out your lips is not what I think!"

All head coach Landon Malone can do at this time is pray!

In the early morning of December 12, at the NBA headquarters on Fifth Avenue in New York, many staff members were working overtime all night long. There was only one reason!

That’s when the trading day of this season officially begins.

At 5:00 in the morning, a three-way deal was officially confirmed by the NBA. When Raptors head coach Landon Malone saw it, he jumped out of bed!

The first transaction was officially born in December 1995!

The New York Knicks, Toronto Raptors and Orlando Magic made a three-way trade.

纽约尼克斯送出场均【11.4分+8.3篮板】的【恶汉】~查尔斯-奥克利、场均【12.6分+4助攻】的后卫德里克-哈珀以及1996年、1998年的首轮选秀签位，得到魔术队的当红”炸子鸡“~【大鲨鱼】奥尼尔。

The Toronto Raptors traded center Sharon White, who averaged [16.5 points and 6.9 rebounds per game], and a 1996 first-round draft pick to the Magic in exchange for Charles Oakley and the Magic's 1996 first-round draft pick.

The Orlando Magic traded Shaquille O'Neal and a 1996 first-round draft pick to the New York Knicks in exchange for center Shalon White, guard Derek Harper and the New York Knicks' 1996 and 1998 first-round draft picks.

This three-party transaction shows that the New York Knicks are betting on the present, or more precisely, on this season.

Two players and two future draft picks were traded for one year's use of Shaquille O'Neal.

It is still unknown whether the latter will continue to renew his contract with the New York Knicks after next year's playoffs!

As expected of old Nelson, the "mad scientist". It was rumored that he wanted to trade "gorilla" Ewing for "shark" O'Neal!

But because I was new here and for some other reasons, I gave up the idea!

But for the "Big Diesel Engine" who loves bustling and busy cities, New York is also an international and prosperous metropolis, and I hope he can stay here!

As for the Orlando Magic, they used Shaquille O'Neal as a bargaining chip in exchange for center Sharon White, hoping to stabilize the inside line together with their own center/power forward Horace Grant.

At the same time, the team traded for guard Derek Harper, who averaged 12.6 points and 4 assists per game, to consolidate the outside line together with Hardaway.

It seems that it is determined to take Anfernee Hardaway as the core and build the team completely around the outside core!

This is no wonder. After all, the Magic management is as stingy as ever. They took advantage of O'Neal's rookie bonus and now want to take advantage of Hardaway's.

O'Neal's contract will expire next year. Since they are unwilling to give him a maximum salary, the natural thing is to maximize the value and profit!

And judging from this deal, if anything unexpected happens, there are still two future first-round draft picks!

As for the Raptors, they sent out their starting center, Sharon White, who was in his prime, in exchange for the 32-year-old "bad guy" Charles Oakley, and exchanged their first-round draft pick next year with the Magic.

It seems that the Raptors suffered the most. In addition to obtaining the playoff experience package Charles Oakley, they also exchanged the 1996 first-round draft pick with the Magic!

Judging from the current record, the Magic are ranked 2nd in the league and the Raptors are ranked 13th in the league, which is a big loss!

But Ikebana, who has a God's perspective, knows.

The Orlando Magic, who lost the Great Shaq, can't make up for the loss of their inside line no matter how many Sharon Whites they use!

Not to mention that starting from the next season, Sharon White became a marginal figure averaging [6.5 points + 3.1 rebounds] per game.

He was cut after only playing 1997 games in the 98-7 season!

Moreover, the Magic's newly established core, known as the only successor to Boss Joe ~ Anfernee Hardaway, would never recover after a serious injury in 1997!

There are no more so-called unique and rare agile steps and dribbling.

On the other hand, Charles Oakley, a 32-year-old veteran who was in decline, continued to decline until 2004 when he retired from the court.

According to the original history, he was traded to the Raptors in the 1998-99 season.

At the age of 36, he was still able to maintain his stats of [7 points + 7.5 rebounds] in the increasingly competitive interior!

The key is that now he has come to the Toronto Raptors more than three years ahead of schedule.

This means that he will be able to steadily output double-tens of [3 points + 10 rebounds] per game in the next three years.

Isn't this better than Sharon White, who will average [6.5 points + 3.1 rebounds] next season and will have no ball to play next season?

Anyway, Huadao felt that this transaction should be a steady and profitable one, so he stopped the loss in time!

However, the next transaction made Hanamichi involuntarily cheer for General Manager Masai Ujiri!
