Chapter 792: [Amazing deal, Lakers rise]

On August 1st, there was an amazing big deal in the free market. After McGrady, another super star changed teams.
The Celtics sent center Al Jefferson, forwards Rudy Gay, Ryan Gomez, defender Telfair, Glassman inside Ratliff, and replaced the Timberwolves "Wolf King" Kay Wen Garnett and two first-round picks in 2009 (top three protections).
Prior to this, many experts predicted that Garnett would join the Lakers. The two teams did have an intention, and they almost negotiated it. It was Kobe who scolded the boss and the manager to destroy all this.
Last year, Steve Blake and Josh Howard were introduced. After selecting Randy Foye, the Timberwolves began to take a younger route. Garnett was not happy in the team and the team failed in the playoffs. Pass the first round.
Garnett doesn't want to go to the Celtics himself. He wants to join the Lakers. Los Angeles is a big city and there are many potential players.
The recent situation has deterred Garnett, because the atmosphere inside the Lakers is very bad, Kobe made many teammates want to escape, he also asked the Lakers to trade himself, this situation is that Garnett does not want to be involved.
The Green Army manager Anji had targeted Garnett long before the draft draw, and there were many favorable factors. In addition to having enough chips in the team, Anji was also familiar with the Timberwolves manager McHale.
McHale is very optimistic about Al Jefferson and believes that only if Garnett is traded, the Timberwolves can rise. During Garnett's 12-year career, he earned $ 140 million in the Timberwolves. If the team renews, he will need to spend at least 100 million. KG secretly said that Garnett deserves this salary, and the management doesn't think it's cost-effective to spend hundreds of millions just to make the playoffs.
Garnett is 31 years old this year, but his total playing time in the regular season has surpassed Larry Bird and Isaiah Thomas. He still has a two-year contract. The second year is a player option. He can choose to become a free agent after the 2007-08 season. Now the Timberwolves will not let him go. It is possible that the bamboo basket will be empty in the next year.
After Ray Allen first joined the Green Army, Garnett nodded and agreed to join, the Green Army successfully formed the lineup of the Big Three. The three men are about the same age. Pierce is 30 years old and Ray Allen is 32 years old. They are all experienced in the game and are at the end of the peak period. They can still play for several years.
The Green Army is reinforced by overdrawing the future. They have been silent for many years and need a champion to prove that they are a giant.
The Timberwolves are not bad after the trade. The main players are Blake, Foye, Howard, Guy, and Jefferson, of which Howard is already an excellent immediate combat player and a prospective star player.
After Garnett joined the Green Army, he completely declared the Lakers' failure to recruit in the summer. There are only a few big men in the league who can vote and can respond. One of them is still in the Lakers, and they have lost their goal of recruiting.
The Grizzlies played very badly in the previous life, and they started to rebuild without winning a playoff game. Now they have reached the Western Conference finals. After suffering from injuries last season, they also swayed and selected point guard Mike Conley. The situation is good in the new season.
Neither Gasol nor Randolph was put on the shelf, and the management would not dismantle the "double bears" that had been broken in.
Lakers manager Kupchak no longer hesitated. On August 3, he completed a deal with the Warriors and sent away the star Kobe. In exchange for Shawn Battier, Joe Johnson and the 2008 first-round draft pick.
This is a deal that everyone is happy with, except for Kobe fans in Los Angeles.
The Warriors got the coveted super scorer, starting with Byron Davis, Kobe, Roll Deng, Troy Murphy, Ilgoskas. Barbosa, Diogu, Bellinelli, Azubuk and other potential players are also on the bench.
Davis attended the press conference to welcome Kobe, calling him a top shooting guard. Kobe also praised Davis and said he was a super point guard.
Davis is one of the best physical point guards, with first-class strength and speed, skilled ball control, 22.9 points and 7.5 assists per game. He averaged 20 points, 4.3 rebounds and 7.2 assists last season. His shooting percentage was 43.9. %, 33% three-point shooting.
On the Lakers side, Battier has average numbers and a defensive attitude. Being able to shoot a three-pointer is just a bonus to the trade. The key is Joe Johnson.
Joe Johnson was selected to the All-Star Game twice, averaging 20.2 points, 4.4 rebounds and 5.2 assists last season, shooting 45.8% from the field and 38.1% from the 3-point range. He is a core player with a combination of sudden shots, good heads-up ability, and can play triangle offense.
The Lakers' starting lineup in the new season will probably be Fisher, Joe Johnson, Artest, Odom, Bogut.
As soon as Bryant left, Artest and Bogut would not leave. In Guo Xu's view, the depth of the Lakers' lineup is even more terrifying, and Monta Ellis and Battier can only play off the bench.
In the "Zen Master" Jackson system, Ellis must be substituted. His ability to play as a point guard is not good. He plays a shooting guard and defends a black hole. He is very suitable as a sixth man, can rely on his ability to lead the bench score.
The Lakers' backup lineup is not weak. In addition to them, there are Jordan Farmar, Jason Smith, Turiaf and Mbenga.
The Lakers also signed a three-position swingman Matt Barnes on the base salary to make up for the vacancy Devon George left.
This is a butterfly effect. Originally, Barnes should have joined the Warriors. After Kobe, there was no shortage of positions for the Warriors swingman. He had to train Bellinelli.
As soon as the news came out, most people were optimistic about the rise of the Warriors. They have two All-Stars and former star Ilgoskas. Roll Deng is also a recognized all-around fighter and has the potential to become an All-Star.
There are also people who are not optimistic about the Warriors, thinking that their ball rights last season are not easy to score, only three people shot more. After the introduction of last season's scoring king Kobe, the ball will be more difficult to allocate.
In fact, the Warriors' biggest weakness is inside defense. Last season, they failed to make the playoffs. The shortcomings of this season are still not compensated. Both Big Z and Murphy are slow to move, and if management exchanges Gooden for Biedrins, it may be better.
In the free market, there are no low-paying excellent insiders for the Warriors to choose. Brandon Bass is even good. He was just signed by the Mavericks. The Warriors can only rely on these insiders next season.
Guo Xu guessed that Kobe's fate would change drastically. There were 62 points in three quarters and 81 points in a single game. His popularity fell sharply compared to his previous life. The boss had no reason to be used to him. He just didn't expect Kobe to choose the Warriors, and the Lakers had such a strong lineup after the deal.
In the eyes of Guo Xu, a reborn, the Lakers will definitely outperform the Warriors next season. Their lineup is reasonable and their offense and defense are balanced.
Bogut is the best meat shield ~ EbookFREE.me ~ The first two seasons have proved his defensive ability in the penalty area.
Odom is a versatile fighter, able to attack and defend, and can make a guest center in small ball tactics.
The most powerful is the Lakers' flank. The depth of the lineup is almost explosive. Even Barnes, who has the weakest personal ability, is good at single defense and not offensive.
Joe Johnson is unselfish in style and knows that he is suitable for a triangle offense by watching the nickname "Single Joe"; Artest is still at his peak in the past two years and has the strength to be selected to the All-Star and best defensive lineup; Battier is in the Warriors Poor record, seriously underestimated, is an excellent 3D player.
Looking at the overall defensive ability, the Lakers are estimated to rank in the top five in the league. Their only defense at position 1 was a bit weak, and Fisher's attack strengthened when he returned. Both he and Ellis are suitable for partnering with Joe Johnson, so they don't need to organize an attack.
Guo Xu feels that the Lakers are going to rise, as long as they keep the current lineup and practice for a year ...
