Chapter 871: Deadline

The All-Star weekend came to an end. In the absence of Dor. Mo, the focus of this All-Star Game is much less.
Kobe Bryant was very happy. He played the host role at Iverson and led the Western Stars to victory. He also won his first AMVP.
He takes this as an honor, but not many people will treat the All-Star Game with the same attitude.
"Kobe is obviously playing a different All-Star game with others." Buckley does not agree with this more realistic approach. "Everyone is playing, but he regards this as a real game."
At the beginning, everyone thought that Barkley was only slightly dissatisfied. Until many years later, he publicly stated on the TNT show that the people who are genuine in the All-Star Game are all mentally ill. People only realized that he was acting against Kobe. Real opinion.
But Barkley's attitude towards the All-Star weekend is that the majority of fans hate it. No one likes games that don't look defensive. Finally, the stars of each team are gathered together. They just want to watch the stars compete with each other, even if they don't defend. Make a look, and then try your best to make the audience funny.
Ke's real attitude seems that he is very special, but looking at it from another angle, maybe this is the All-Star game that the audience wants to see most.
In Detroit, the news of Gail Curry's death gradually reached the media.
Curry is a star in Detroit. His mother died at this time, and people quickly thought of his previous absence from the so-called gastroenteritis.
Look now, that may just be an excuse.
Up and down Detroit expressed regret in various ways.
Curry still can't train normally these days, he has a lot of things to deal with.
Also within these days, on the eve of the trading deadline, the trading market prevailed.
The New York Knicks fired the first shot in the trading market.
The team veteran Scott Pippen is unwilling to accompany the team to provide for retirement, he still has the power to fight, so he took the initiative to apply for a transaction, hoping to go to a team that can play in the playoffs.
The management of the Knicks, considering his age, is indeed not suitable as a long-term plan for the team. The contract on his body is also very large. Fortunately, there is a good immediate combat strength. No one needs to worry about it.
Once Pippen was put on the shelf, the Celtics approached quietly like a shark smelling blood.
Since losing Duncan, the Celtics have failed to rebuild. They guard Antoine Walker, the big brush, and strive to win, but they can only be ranked in the top ten in the east.
Seeing the Knicks shoot Pippen, they valued the latter's experience and defense, so they took out the negative assets left by the era of Rick Pitino, high-paying and capable Kenny Anderson.
Although the Knicks are willing to Chéng Rén's beauty, but they are not big fools, they will not just give away a good immediate combat power but swallow such a stinky shit, so they asked for more rewards.
The Celtic management had no choice, even if the Cardinals repeatedly suggested refusing the deal, they still contributed to the business by increasing their chips.
This is the first shot of the trading deadline.
Yahoo reporter Ryan Andrew broke the news: "The New York Knicks sent forward Scott Pippen to Boston in exchange for Kenny Anderson and the 2002 first-round draft pick. It is reported that Boston added Get in the top ten overall protection."
When the transaction was completed, the Boston Roadside Agency also reported that the cardinal was rushed to the hospital because of his anger and was out of danger after some rescue in the hospital.
This is of course bullshit, just a paragraph compiled by the roadside agency for the trading scheme of the Black Celtics uniform group.
This deal, from the Red Cardinals to the Boston media, is extremely pessimistic.
If Anderson can be used to exchange for Pippen, the transaction can be done, but if the 38-year-old Pippen takes another first-round draft pick, the deal will lose money.
It's a pity that the bishop's words are no longer useful, and the professional management who prides themselves on it will not be influenced by the media, and they complete the transaction with their will.
The Knicks, who fired the first shot on the trade deadline, continued to expand their business. For them, everyone except Penny and Camby could trade.
As a result, the Knicks were upset. They didn't know which team they would wake up tomorrow. Even if they weren't traded, they should know through this matter that they are not the team's long-term plan.
If life cannot be stabilized, then everyone has a reason to find a way out for them, and winning the game will no longer be their first priority.
This is also in line with the Knicks' plan, they just want to slack, vowed to seize the top four picks in 2002.
After a wave of turbulence and a wave of waves, this tumultuous team comes from the west.
The Sacra Kings put Mike Bibby on the shelf.
Bibby is now a starting guard with an average of 10 points and 8 assists. Although his development is not as smooth as his previous life, he is young and the contract is not big. If he is not suffering from panic disorder, Doug Collins will not repeatedly ask for management. Layer to trade it.
They hope to use Bibi to supplement a good defender. The Kings no longer need to add any offensive players. They want defenders, good, outstanding defenders.
Various places have come up with 3D asking prices in the team.
But in this, the Celtic price is the most appropriate.
The Celtics uniform team once again presented a trading plan that made the Boston media clap.
They brought in Bruce Bowen, who was selected as the second defense of the year last season, and exchanged one with the Kings.
No team offers more sincerity than the Celtics.
Bowen is in his prime and was selected for the second defense last year. If Hill is not there, he can be regarded as the best wing defender in active service. Because of the draft and the offensive ability, the Celtics are all defensive loopholes. Because of the weak team, his ability has always been underestimated.
This is actually a normal phenomenon. Whether it is a strong team or a weak team, defensive players will be underestimated.
A few simple examples, Iverson’s 2000-2001 individual lone hero season that was praised by countless people is certainly a song and tears, it can be called a single-core, but behind him stands the defensive player of the year Mutombo, but the media Mention the 76ers will always focus on AI. (Note: Of course it is a story of another parallel world)
In the 2006-2007 season, James single-core led the team to the finals. People still spend a lot of saliva to praise the Eastern Conference finals. The battle of Tianwang Mountain took 29 points in the last 30 points of the team, but no one cares about Big Z, Valejo, Drew Gooden, Donyer Marshall and the Pistons inside team, without this group of people depleting the piston on the defensive end, why did the little emperor attack with all his strength?
As a final example, Nowitzki won the single-core championship with his brothers, and it is a stunner, but don’t forget the Mavericks of that season. Nuo Tianwang ushered in the best ass-wiping player in his career and was selected as the second defender of the year. Sen Chandler.
There is no water leakage, which is almost the destiny of defensive players.
They can't reflect their value in the weak team, because in the team that loses more than one, no one cares who you guard against. In the strong team, the spotlight often belongs to those core players with bright data and bright performance. No one knows their value except the fans and management who can really understand the game. Even so, they are often in the trading market. Was despised.
The King and the Celtics completed this one-on-one deal.
The Celtics fans knew how good Bowen was. On the day the deal was completed, angry fans almost rushed into the Celtics uniform office building.
The Kings made up their minds to become the most influential team on the day of the trade deadline.
After Bibby was sent away, an unexpected player was put on the shelf by them.
Croatian Peja Stojakovic was also put on the shelf, which is almost the largest fish on the trade deadline.
Even the Lakers couldn't sit still, and directly threw a quotation of "Al Harrington + Fisher".
The stunted Spurs presented Swift + this year's first round of unprotected draft picks.
The Trailblazers contacted the King and said that they would pick any choice except Weber and Sprewell.
The West is a mess.
But the Kings don’t want to make a deal with the Western team. Peja’s strength is not that they don’t know. In the Kings, there are McGrady and Nowitzki pressing ~EbookFREE.me~ and they can average 20 points per game and change to one. For a team that gives him unlimited firepower, he can score 25 points.
With the goal of rushing out of the west, they designated the Pistons as the number one imaginary enemy. Therefore, they would not send Peja to the strong teams of the west to capitalize on the enemy. Even if you want to trade, you have to find the Eastern team. It's best to do with the Eastern team, take what they need, and make them trouble for the Pistons, and get what they want.
The 76ers want Peja. Their lack of height in the second and third positions. Peja is a 206 cm forward and swingman. His arrival can relieve the urgent need. They are the Pistons' biggest opponents in the East, but the King cannot trade with them.
First of all, they don't have the right chips, and secondly, they are already strong enough. If they are strong enough to beat the Pistons, will they not pit themselves if they meet in the finals?
Except for the Pistons, almost all teams are asking for prices.
In the end, the Bucks stood out and tied the Kings, each with their own needs.
Official: The Kings sent forward Peja Stojakovic and defender Brent Price to Milwaukee in exchange for Sam Kassel and Anthony Mason Jr.
The Princeton era of the Kings officially ended, and the Bucks era of musketeers also came to an end.
The arrival of Kassel gave the Kings an all-star big point guard, plus Mason, an experienced all-around fighter.
The Bucks are facing a transformation. Peja's firepower is much stronger than that of Kassel, but after losing Kassel, who will deliver shells for Ray Allen, Glen Robinson, Peja?
No one cares about this. What people care about is what the new Kings will do after the All-Star.
