My Name is Kobe Bryant

Mr. West, are you sure you reject our deal? Are you really not considering it?

I am sure.

That would be such a pity.

The Mavericks general manager sighed, knocked on the phone with Danny Ainge and Houston general manager Carol Dawson, and said nothing.

Earthquake! BOSS! Alliance earthquake!

After the victory over the Orlando Magic, the Lakers returned to Los Angeles to rest and have one day off.

On the rest day, Kobe was still in the arena with Xiaoyu, Bowen, Big Ben, and Tyrese, and some veterans of the team such as Horry and Eddie Jones also began to join Kobe in extra training.

Moto Moola's huge bell alarmed Bryant, who was shooting practice.

What's the matter, Rob?

Sun Mavericks Houston three-way deal!

Three-party deal? Wait, Kobe remembers only the deal between the Mavericks and the Suns, not the Houston Mosaics.

The Mavericks pay Jason Kidd, Jim Jackson, get Sam Cassell, Michael Finley, Matt Maloney, Houston first round.

The Suns paid Sam Cassell, Michael Finley, and AC Green got Jason Kidd, Kevin Willis, and Sam Mark.

Houston paid the first round of 98 years, Matt Maloney, Sam Mark, Kevin Willis got Jim Jackson, AC Green.

? ? ?

History changed? Kobe had expected that his arrival would change history, but he didn't expect it to be so fast.

The Mavericks sold the 3J combination and got two high-quality young players, Sam Cassell and Michael Finley, in one fell swoop. At the same time, with a veteran like Matt Maloney, replacing Kidd as the team's starting point guard, leading the team's young people to grow. At the same time, they also left Jamal Mashburn, the top striker who averaged 23.4 points, 5.4 rebounds and 2.8 assists last season.

The Suns are undergoing a drastic transformation under Danny Ainge. Ainge is looking for a player who can replace the aging Kevin Johnson. Jason Kidd is the answer he wants! On the front line, Cedric Ceballos, who the Suns traded from the Lakers, performed brilliantly. Since there is no room for Michael Finley to grow, let him be replaced! AC Green wants to get a championship team, then replace him!

This is Danny Angie's courage, if you can't break it, you can't stand it. Now this sun has a new look!

Houston can be said to be the biggest winner of this transaction. After being defeated by the Lakers led by Kobe and O'Neal in a row, they understand that if they want to win this season, they must not get around the young team of the Lakers. And a three-point shooter like Matt Maloney has loopholes on both ends of the offense and defense when facing the Lakers' front line.

Jim Jackson, a heavy swingman with both offense and defense, range and body, can be said to be the team's best catalyst!

Anyway, the ball is in the hands of the Big Three, and it makes no difference whether there is a point guard or not, so just strengthen the front line infinitely!

Terrible, Carol Dawson's deal directly made this Houston team a historic team.

Charles Barkley in the frontcourt, Hakeem Olajuwon, Clyde Drexler in the backcourt Mario Eli, Jim Jackson.

This lineup directly blurs the position of the court. It's no longer the point guard who initiates the offense, but the Big Three who initiate the offense, the Big Three who end the offense, and all possession of the ball to the Big Three.

At the same time, they have 4 top-level strikers with excellent physical fitness, and defense alone can defeat most teams in the league, not to mention that they also have three Hall of Fame-level offensive stars.

The lowest height in the game is Jim Jackson's 1.98 meters. This lineup is infinitely close to the 5 small forward lineup that Heat operator Pat Riley wants, and this set is even stronger!

Fack, this is naked robbery!

With only one late first-rounder, two playoff starting-level players, and one role player as a bargaining chip. It can make the team jump from the championship level to the historical level!

This is naked robbery!

Kobe remembered that the trade in his last life seemed to be that the New Jersey Nets traded Sean Bradley, ED Oberon, and Robert Parker for Jim Jackson. Mainly a Sean Bradley and Jim Jackson swap.

Looking at it this way, the Mavericks got more in this transaction. Sean Bradley, the essence of the human background board, is just a big insider who can't be softer.

Houston's trade is clearly aimed at the Lakers and a reinforcement for the Bulls.

You Jordan, Kobe has no solution, right? Then I will use 3 top swingmen to defend you in turn! See if you still have no solution?

Mr. Jerry West rejected the Mavericks' trade of Ben Wallace, Bruce Bowen, Eddie Jones for Jim Jackson plus Mashburn, so the Mavericks pulled the trigger, half sold and half gave Jim Jackson Houston.

Of course I have to refuse, as expected of Mr. West. Kobe is glad that this deal didn't happen. If it happened, the team's strength and potential would drop several levels. With a wise elder like Jerry West controlling the overall situation, Kobe is really at ease.

Kobe hung up the phone. It seems that the Jazz is not the only competitor in the Western Conference this season.

After the deal ended, Houston became a historic team, the Suns became a strong team in the playoffs, and the Mavericks harvested a group of high-quality young players and draft picks. It seems to be a three-party profitable transaction.

Who wins and who loses depends on time.

Kobe! A call that was both familiar and unfamiliar came in.

Hello. Who is this?

I'm Tracy.

Kobe was a little surprised. This competitor in high school was a very introverted person. He actually took the initiative to call him today?

You played a great game against Penny!

Hahaha, of course.

I want to ask you, in basketball, is it better to prioritize a team like Penny, or is heroism better.

Have you started thinking about your basketball approach before graduating from high school? As expected of God's darling Tracy McGrady, you must know that the choice of basketball is the only way to become a superstar.

Go and feel it on the court. I look forward to seeing you in the NBA next year. My own path needs to be blazed out by myself, not because Kobe is unwilling to help him, all roads lead to Rome, but my basketball way Learn it by yourself, not by others.

Che, don't you want to say it? Kobe, you are still the same.

Well

By the way, your little brother Lamar is still in high school, isn't he? Just wait, miser Kobe, I will take the title of the number one high school student in the United States from him!

Listening to the busy tone on the phone, Kobe thought to himself that this guy seems to be angry, is he blaming me for not contacting him for so long?

There's no other way, next time you go to North Carolina, call him out and give him a one-on-one education.

This time, the score must be recorded, so that he can be convinced of the loss, but he can't let him deny it anymore.
