Chapter 476: Do you want to hear the truth or lies?

Garnett's strength and fame are beyond doubt. Two years earlier, he was on par with Duncan and Nowitzki to compete for the MVP.
It was only two years earlier.
With the disintegration of the "three-headed monster" of the Timberwolves, the Timberwolves record has gone from bad to worse, and the team management has not been able to find a good helper for Garnett.
It may be unbelievable to say it, but the Timberwolves have not made the playoffs for several years.
This is a torment for Garnett.
As a star who entered the league in the 90s, he is the kind of star with the "one man, one city" mark in his bones, but the current situation of the team makes him very confused.
Because if he doesn't make any changes, he will soon retire so confused.
If you know that the years are wasted, he will be 30 years old in a blink of an eye.
The career of inside players is generally lower than outside, and he is about to join Elgin Baylor and their "uncrowned king" ranks.
So after struggling for so long, he finally decided to change teams.
Don't be surprised, Garnett decided to leave the team in 2007.
Now that the Lakers have once again won consecutive championships, the pressure and temptation given are great. It is normal for him to have ideas a year in advance.
And the Timberwolves management also respected Garnett.
Ten years of professional career has been dedicated to Minnesota, regardless of the team's ups and downs, this effort has been done to the team and the city.
And what I have to mention at this time is the city of Minnesota, because it is located in the far north, few stars are willing to go.
In fact, the Timberwolves, who only joined the NBA in 1989, were the bottom-most team until Garnett was selected.
It can be said that Garnett is the only totem of their team.
So now Garnett is going, they not only did not stop, but will do their best to help him get to the team he wants to go.
Garnett, want to go to the Lakers.
A few years ago, he was abused by the Mavericks with 58 points twice in the Timberwolves, and thus earned the nickname "58 Special".
At that time, he was very angry, and wanted to lead the team to play results to prove himself.
It's just that the reality is that the Timberwolves have not been as good as each year. He has gone from anger to autism, and now he has also looked away.
Who has no black spots in his career, Jordan was beaten by the Pistons before his three consecutive championships!
So after looking away, he was relaxed, and even had a desire to be a teammate with Sun Hao in his heart.
His thinking is also very clear. Since he is leaving, he must choose the best partner to choose a new partner.
Sun Hao has won three championships in 6 years, nothing is more suitable.
There is a saying: Don’t fight, don’t know each other.
And this is also a very good opportunity.
Some might say why the Lakers take advantage of the Big Three in the crew?
That is almost impossible.
First of all, the first round of the Lakers is mostly at the end of the first round, which is completely worthless.
The Timberwolves will do their best to help Garnett, but they will not be so stupid as to trade a super giant for a bunch of late first-round picks.
As for the other players, except Sun Hao and O'Neal, the trade value of everyone else on the Lakers is completely different from Garnett.
So the only possibility to trade with the Lakers is O'Neal.
Two years ago? Garnett's transaction value was similar to that of O'Neill.
Today, two years later, the transaction value of the two? Garnett is bigger? But it won't be much bigger.
O'Neal is coming up because of his age, while Garnett has not been able to lead the team into the playoffs for several consecutive years? The value of their trades is declining.
In addition, during the championship parade, Jr. Buss announced in public that he would solve the problem of the team's ageing.
Use O'Neal to change the super giant back in his prime? That is the best solution.
This is also the so-called opportunity.
In fact? After this news report came out, the Lakers fans reacted extremely strongly and divided into two rows of opposing views.
Opposing fans:
"I just said that Shaq is the second player in team history. I am so anxious to trade him? Business is just business?"
"If you really trade Shaq away? Then I won't watch the Lakers anymore? The Lakers shouldn't be a team without warmth."
"Is Garnett definitely suitable for the Lakers? Look at his and retreat, I think his style is destined to not win a championship!"
"Has Shaq's performance in G6 last season been forgotten by you? Without him, we wouldn't necessarily be able to defend the title!"
...
Supporting fans:
"Hurry up and change, why are you still hesitating? The 36-year-old Shark changes to the 30-year-old Wolf King? Can such an opportunity be missed?!"
"Shaq is old, we can't always escape reality? If we want to stay competitive and get more championships? This is the best deal."
"I'm also in favor of trading, but I think we should get a third party? Send Shaq to teams that have the ability to compete as much as possible."
"Yes, right, the human touch can be changed? Didn't you hear that the Heat have thoughts about Shaq? I think you can pull the Heat to be a third party."
"The combination of Sun and Wolf King? The pick and roll of the two must be beautiful? And the Wolf King covers a large defensive end, which is very suitable for Sun!"
"I'm already very excited about what you said, change it now, I believe Shaq will understand it too!"
...
And it is obvious that the voices of approval are louder than those of opposition.
Don't be surprised. In American education, the concept of "I" is very emphasized.
The so-called "freedom" can also be understood as selfishness.
Little Bath's apartment.
Kupchak was talking about this with Little Buss right now.
Don't look at the promises Little Buss said, but he wasn't really sure about it himself.
Although winning the championship last season, the performance of the Lakers' role players is average.
"It doesn't seem like I can't play without O'Neal", this is too hurt.
And Payton, Mourning, and the Lakers all signed a year-end salary, and they can't be used as bargaining chips.
So it's a big one, but the one that can be operated is estimated to be Finlay's contract.
Finley's transaction value day and playoff performance, his contract transaction value has improved.
Or maybe it just moved O'Neal.
"Do you want to make this deal too?"
Little Buss is asking Kupchak's opinion.
"From a business point of view, it is the best choice to pull in third-party transactions, but from an emotional point of view, we should keep Shaq."
Kupchak is still very smart, he didn't make a clear statement, but he also said the pros and cons.
In this matter, what the fans think of is not much different from what the management thinks about.
Little Buss lit a cigar and fell into entanglement.
This matter is different from the original Kobe Sun Hao transaction.
He couldn't run to ask his teacher Jerry West: Should I consider business or favor?
To put it bluntly, it depends on his new helm.
But in fact, he will think about it, which shows that he is already inclined in his heart.
30-year-old Garnett, don’t know how many more years he can help the Lakers!
And there may be no such shop after passing this village.
The 36-year-old O'Neal will only keep getting older, and if all contracts are fulfilled, he will be 40 years old.
Even if O'Neal continues to degenerate, at most two years later, Sun Hao's career is wasted.
Although Sun Hao said he was still very young, he was also 25 years old, 29 years later, the peak in the true sense.
"I think it's best to ask your father about this matter?"
Kupchak saw Little Buss tangled, and then said again.
O'Neal is different from Kobe. His arrival can be said to have saved the Lakers.
Old Buss’ feelings for O’Neal are naturally stronger.
Little Buss shook his head.
Old Buss has already handed over the affairs of the team to him. At this time he wants to ask again, it seems that he is very incapable.
"Or, I think I can ask Sun's opinion."
Kupchak continued.
Sun Hao's suggestions were continuously adopted by him, and he had inadvertently trusted and relied on Sun Hao.
This time Buzz nodded.
At the beginning, the Bulls management and Jordan were very unhappy and missed many invisible opportunities.
Most directly, if Klaus did not force the dissolution of the team that year, and Jordan was not forced to retire for the second time, would the Bulls definitely not be able to complete the four consecutive championships?
Sun Hao is now the signature of the Lakers and the league. His opinion will be very important.
Of course, little Buss nodded, does not mean that he will ask immediately.
He wanted to see it again.
...
As the free market approaches, rumors about trading become more frequent.
For example, Gasol has attracted the attention of many fans.
The Grizzlies and Clippers are the front runners.
The chips given by the Grizzlies are this year's No. 6 pick Rudy Gay + Mike Miller or Sean Battier;
The Clippers’ bargaining chip is Kaman + Maggette/Mobley, plus a first round;
The chips given by the two teams are high-quality young players with immediate strength, and the Clippers are even willing to send another first round, which can be said to be sincere.
But the Celtics did not respond in a hurry.
Angie didn't seem to want to rebuild.
In fact, there is one point to mention here. The NBA is actually made by giants.
The Lakers and Celtics, these two teams will not be rebuilt as a last resort, they are more through trades to complete the replacement of new and old.
On the other side, the deal between the Nets and the Nuggets is also very hot.
There is news that the Nuggets have given the Nets a word, as long as they can be exchanged for Kidd, there is nothing for sale except for the James team!
From this point of view, it is not that the Cavaliers have been exceptionally good to James in history, but the talent that James has shown that makes the management dominated by him.
Of course, how can you lose the excitement of the Lakers at this time.
There are already "enthusiastic netizens" who have sorted out the feasibility of the Lakers.
Among them, the most mentioned by fans is the Heat and Celtics trading plan.
Pull the Heat to be a third party, as follows:
The Heat sent Odom and Caron Butler in the first round to get O'Neal;
The Lakers sent O'Neal and two first rounds to get Garnett;
The Timberwolves sent Garnett to get Odom, Butler and three first rounds.
La Celtics is the third party, as follows:
The Celtics sent Al Jefferson, Ricky Davis, Gerald Green and the first round to get O'Neal;
The Lakers sent Odom and two first rounds to get Garnett;
The Timberwolves sent Garnett to get Al Jefferson, Ricky Davis, Gerald Green and three first rounds.
Of course, there are other options, but they are roughly the same. They all send O'Neal to a third-party team and get each of the three points needed.
And sending O'Neal to the East will not add new opponents to the Lakers in the West.
Sometimes you have to admire the power of netizens.
Even Kupchak felt reasonable after reading it, and even if Little Buzz spoke up, he wanted to try it.
...
After the finals, O'Neal began his happy life every summer.
Make movies, record songs, beach beauties in bikinis.
Oh, this year I also added another one to experience being a policeman on the streets of Los Angeles.
O'Neill doesn't enjoy life, it's not him.
However, he just started recording songs in the past two days, and he is not in a good mood.
There are endless rumors about his trading, and he is also very upset by those trading plans.
To know that he stayed on the team last year, he chose to cut his salary to a certain extent.
As a result, only a year has passed and these people want to send him away.
This is really the real version of "Before called Xiao Tiantian, now called Mrs. Niu".
The point is that the attitude of the Lakers management also makes him uncomfortable.
Rumors flew up, and the management did not speak up for themselves.
He even heard from some team friends that Kupchak and Jr. Bass were talking about the Garnett trade.
He has already begun to say similar things when chatting with his friends around him: If the Lakers finally choose to trade him away, he will be very, very disappointed.
...
Sun Hao is ready to return to China.
The World Championships will be held in August, that is to say, the time he will practice with the national team is at most one month.
Although the roster of the national team this time has not changed much from the past, after all, there have been two years of not playing the national team. It will definitely take time to run in.
Just before he was about to return to China, Little Buss called him and invited him to the private estate.
He said that he was going to invite him to have a meal before he returned to China. When the two were sitting and chatting before the meal, he knew that it was because of recent trading rumors.
"Do you think we should talk to Minnesota about the Kevin Garnett deal?"
Although it is not stated clearly, the rumors outside now that Kupchak's so-called Garnett deal refers to Garnett and O'Neal.
"I just want to hear your suggestions."
And he knew Sun Hao's behavior, and he added.
"Do you want to hear the truth or lies?"
This topic is very sensitive, Sun Hao smiled and eased the atmosphere.
Regardless of whether the two are communicating privately, but who knows if Little Buss will confess.
The air of Jordan accidentally leaked ~EbookFREE.me~Listen to the lies. "
Little Buss is not in a hurry.
"The lie is that I have many reasons for not agreeing to do that. In the culture of the Lakers team, there is no such thing as trading meritorious veterans;
Without Shaq, our center advantage will disappear, Yao or Dwight will be able to wreak havoc in the basket;
The core trade will need to be re-run, we are attacking the dynasty, doing so will increase a lot of risks, etc., a lot. "
"What about the truth?"
Little Buss then asked.
If Sun Hao's lie is against trading O'Neal, then the truth...
"If the old Shaq will be traded, will I be traded as well?"
It's just that Sun Hao's truth made Little Buzz stunned.
