: Four hundred and seventy-eight. The marvelous operation of the Hawks

The negotiation was very successful, but the formation of the transaction is always relatively slow, especially for an opponent like Popovich, there must be a lot of consideration for the other party.
By July 15th, Liu Mang had ended the three European publicity trips and was ready to set off for Shanghai, and finally got good news.
On July 15, 2007, the Hawks reached a three-way deal with the Kings and Spurs.
The Hawks sent Sean Battier and the Hawks own 2010 second-round draft picks, and got the 2002 second-round 27-round pick rookie Luis Scola signing rights from the Spurs. Kings center Brad Miller.
The Spurs sent out the first-round draft picks protected by the 2009 first-round lotto, the second-round signing rights in 2002, and Jazz Butler, and they received Sean Battier.
The Kings sent out Brad Miller ’s two-year contract of 17 million, with the Spurs ’Jazz Butler ’s only 600,000 guaranteed contract next season, the Spurs’ 2009 Lotto protection draft pick, and 2010 Hawks second-round draft pick.
Just as Popovich felt incredible when he got the trading plan, this transaction, no matter how it looks, is a Spurs profit!
The Kings did not lose, they got two draft picks and got rid of Brad Miller.
Brad Miller scored a peak of 14 points, 10 rebounds and 3.8 assists per game in the contract year of the 0304 season. After receiving a starting salary of 12 million and a total of 5 years of 51 million in weight loss, he did not play that year. Too.
Brad Miller has only averaged 9 points and 6 rebounds per game in the season just ended, and at the Supersonics, Nick Collison, who just got a contract renewal, averaged 9 points and 8 rebounds last season. ...
Although Brad Miller has averaged 3 assists per game so far, it has no effect on the Kings. They can't win too many games, get rid of big contracts, and get two draft picks. The Kings also made money.
On the Eagles side, it is equivalent to using Battier to add a second round to Brad Miller ...
Considering the structure of the team, Brad Miller has three points, has a response, and is quite suitable for the Hawks. After Rashid Wallace is old, he needs a such insider.
But in terms of value, the Hawks definitely suffered a big loss. You know that Battier was replaced with Andre Iguodala.
Moreover, the Hawks help the Spurs, who are in desperate need of forward defense, to supplement Artest's vacancy. Such behavior ... obviously for the Lakers.
To make the Spurs stronger, there is a team that can snipe the Lakers in the west.
As early as the end of the Spurs playoffs, Artest had already notified the Spurs to reject the player option next season, to test the free market. Popovich and Artest were in a stalemate relationship. Originally Popovi Oddly, he planned to play well in the playoffs. This can be used to make Artest renew his contract with a salary below the market price, but he was eliminated in the first round. Artest did not intend to renew his contract at all.
There had been a huge vacancy in the Spurs' small forward position, mainly because there were fewer people who could prevent Kobe.
But now the Eagles are helping the Spurs!
After Popovich received the Hawks' specific trading plan, he consciously guessed something.
Popovich believes that in addition to wanting to make a team against the Lakers in the West, the Eagles' main goal is to get Brad Miller of the Kings, a center like Brad Miller, Popovich I want it too, but it's too expensive to be able to afford.
As for Liu Mang ’s favorite Luis Scola ... No one noticed at all. Even Popovich did not expect that Scola was Liu Mang ’s most desired target. Of course, Brad Miller was also very important. , Brad Miller is indispensable for the diversification of Liu Man's inner role.
The goal of both parties is to deal with the Lakers, and the transaction is unimpeded. After the Eagles paid an additional second round of the future, the deal was finally reached.
"The boss has finally solved it! This time I learned a lot of things. When the management turned out so many things to consider, it was still something that Ace had planned, so it was so hard." Coach Kruger exclaimed.
"Lang, our work is not over yet. Go back to Atlanta. Those veterans are estimated to have to wait until they are crazy." Price is very excited now.
Every year in the offseason, the Eagles owner Price is very happy, and there is a middle class available ...
And the Eagles got a special case of up to 8 million injuries from Wade, which can be used before Wade returns.
It was originally intended to be used to eat Brad Miller raw, but the Kings did not agree, and they were unwilling to sign a second round.
Coach Kruger and Price can feel the waves!
Originally intending to eat Brad Miller with a special case of injury, for the Kings who want to slap, Brad Miller's next contract is too large, but sent Sean Batty with a salary of 6.28 million next season. Well, after splitting the 2 million middle-class exception, plus the trading rules, it just happened to eat Brad Miller.
In this way, special cases of injuries and some special cases of middle class can also be used.
Price does not consider the salary. It has long exceeded the salary cap. The question of how much. The season just ended unexpectedly reached the finals. The three home-earned money is more than enough to pay the luxury tax for next season.
Coach Kruger is also very excited. He has been the deputy general manager of the Hawks since 2004, but there are not many real operation opportunities. Although this time it feels a headache to negotiate, the sense of accomplishment when completing the transaction is indescribable.
Looking at the transaction details in the news, Liu Mang feels weird when his team has changed from an outside team to an inside team for more than half a month.
Having lost Battier, a teammate willing to sacrifice and a good attitude, Liu Mang really regrets that Battier's teammate with a good attitude and good character was originally within Liu Mang's plan.
But the empty glove White Wolf is still too difficult for the boss and coach Kruger.
However, if you go to the Spurs, just like Blake, after Wade comes back, Battier's playing time will be compressed, and he can go to the Spurs. Liu Mang feels that it is a good thing for Battier, of course, it will be a bit regretful That's it.
It was Liu Mang's anticipation to get Battier and Marion at the beginning. Marion said it was easy to say that people started playing power forwards and played small forwards well.
It's just that there are too few backup lineups in the front and back. In case of a turn off, the outside manpower is not enough.
Liu Mang counted, except for him, Jason Terry, Rondo, Tracy McGrady, Grant Hill and Wade, who can only come back in December, it seems that there is no one else.
It's the inside ...
Scola, O'Neal, Marion, Kwame Brown, Brad Miller, Gortat ... and a younger brother signed specifically to deal with Yao Ming ...
Lose weight ...... Liu Mang let Gasol lose weight, but that is more difficult, and don't worry, just reduce it slowly, you must first build muscle, otherwise simple weight loss will only become a crumpled fat man.
And a dozen kilograms of fat a year, for fat people, they may not feel much, but if there is no perseverance and perseverance, a ten kilogram of a year of thinness, it is definitely pain and torture for the parties, and may affect To the normal growth of Gasol Jr.
There are already so many unique insiders, and there is a little fat like Gasol, Liu Mang thinks it is not a bad thing.
However, the core structure of the team is still very complete. Liu Mang adds McGrady and Wade on the outside. This is coupled with Marion and Kwame Brown. This is a lineup that Liu Mang has always wanted to play.
But Liu Mang does not have a simple love to play. Dealing with the Lakers is the ultimate goal for next season. Therefore, Liu Mang planned this from the beginning, accumulating draft picks to prepare for the future, and forming a super insider group!
Liu Mang imagined that his team can get a lot of insiders. Bosh and Milicic have been trained as core players. They did n’t reach the peak before they passed the age of 30, unless their team got more A good core, otherwise it will not give up, can not be replaced with Tracy McGrady, the core price star inside is always more expensive than the outside.
Assuming the enemy is the Lakers, it is definitely incomparable to the quality. The more powerful power forwards than Gasol are two No. 21 and German tanks. Milicic may be one.
A stronger center than Yao Ming ... this year is gone.
Then take the amount!
Find a group of insiders with various characteristics!
Variety of gameplay!
Regarding the alternative "trade" with Larry Bird, maybe Larry Bird wants to have a good relationship with the Hawks like Jordan and Rockets. There is a possibility that he can take over the young players that the Eagles want to replace.
Liu Mang may do that, but Liu Mang's first choice is to send his teammates who have crushed the rookie contract to the west ...
Next, the outside lineup and the water dispenser administrator and veteran, Liu Mang gave it to the boss and the coach. He came up with a trading plan to strengthen the inside lineup and has spent all his brain cells. By the way, from the people's hearts to the situation, from the salary issue to the team's injury and other special cases, etc ... Liu Mang's thinking at the end of the season will explode.
Now it's time for the boss and coach to play.
Liu Mang doesn't ask for how good the substitutes and veterans are, the kind that doesn't have to be troublesome, just fill in the depth of the lineup.
The core structure has been neat, Liu Mang can now go to the domestic propaganda and Asian propaganda with peace of mind, and work hard at the same time. At the end of the month, train with Rondo, McGrady and others ...
After the tragic trading situation last summer, although there were a lot of ups and downs this time, by comparison, it was so smooth!
There was no vigorousness when trying to trade Garnett with Rashid Wallace and McGrady. The Hawks' trade reinforcement this year is ... mediocre?
The media view the Hawks' reinforcement this summer.
After the Hawks lost the finals, many people thought that the Hawks with a lot of chips would be rebuilt, but the Hawks just made some small transactions and signed contracts.
Every transaction or signing of the Hawks is not astonishing, and none of them is comparable to getting Glen Robinson in the summer of 2002.
And the Hawks are the most commendable draft ... This year, this year's new year's eagle, after actually getting the draft right, was sent out. In addition to choosing a fat man, it seems that he is not interested in this year's draft.
However, from the lineup after the transaction, some experts and some fans found something unexpected. After the Hawks completed the three-way transaction, the Hawks' operation evaluation this summer began to change ...
ESPN basketball columnist Bill Simmons analyzed that the Hawks' trading method has "evolved". From the past, relying on the draft vision, it has gathered a large number of potential rookies, and it has been trained by the team ’s ability to train young people. When I came back, it became more practical.
When the Hawks got O'Neal, the two-year two-year special case of 3.8 million was definitely not a loss, but last season's average of 137 O'Neal averaged only 43% of his shooting rate, and O'Neal's shooting rate has not been high. , Does not seem to be a substantial reinforcement.
It is true that O'Neal was an All-Star before, and was once comparable to the big four power forward, but there are many examples in the history of NBA stars like O'Neal who encounter big setbacks and quickly lose sight of everyone ~ EbookFREE.me ~ The most famous is that a rookie in the 1960s blocked Chamberlain's dream of four consecutive games after three consecutive regular season MVPs, and then met with Chamberlain 9 times in the second year regular season plus Chamberlain in the playoffs and played three games in one season He was abused by Chamberlain 12 times, and was suspected by Chamberlain.
In the end, this rookie season got regular season MVP players, the entire career was selected for a while, and even the entire career was only selected for the best team, the rookie season got the MVP player, 13 years career He has only been selected to the All-Star 5 times ... I can imagine what he experienced in the second grade.
This is the most famous example of a state avalanche after encountering a "great setback", and there are many similar situations afterwards.
Therefore, the Hawks introduced O'Neal, although they are not 100% loss, but how much improvement can be brought to the Hawks' inside, it is still a question mark.
But turning Battier, a high-value outside player who may become redundant due to Wade's comeback, into Brad Miller ...
It was very different at once!
Bill Simmons guessed Liu Mang's idea, but he guessed the Hawks management's idea.
It seems a little bit of a change, from choosing Gasol Jr. to signing O'Neal Jr. who was pardoned by the Pacers to trading to get Brad Miller, each link can't be said how good it is, even people It's hard to figure it out, but when we get together, with the original Marion, Kwame Brown, and Gortat, it becomes amazing ...
I have to go to Emei Mountain. There is no chance in the afternoon and evening. In the afternoon, there will be a team to take pictures in the mountains. In the evening, I will ask the secretary of the same group to go to the hot spring. I don't know how to pretend to be soaked many times.
