Chapter 163: Jazz trade options

"Editor-in-chief, the press release has come out, how do you see it?"
In the early hours of January 17, 1994, in the office of the Basketball Department of the USA Today headquarters in Roslyn, West Virginia, the whole office was already busy making a group.
As the United States today, which mainly reports on youth basketball in all international media in the United States, has been very busy recently. Because of the Utah Jazz, this team has recently focused on nba, or It means that all the focus is on the nba jazz team. In terms of nba game time, as long as there is jazz game, it is difficult for them to take a rest early. "Fiction" novel chapter updates the fastest
"Let me see, uh, Bùcuò, also Bùcuò, yes, this can be taken to the editor-in-chief and can be used as the headline of tomorrow"
After taking a serious look at the press release sent by his subordinates on the Jazz game today, Alex nodded with satisfaction, saying that the news content was not really surprising or special, but a compliment. Ordinary manuscript of Jazz.
But in this time period, such a manuscript is actually most needed. Today, the United States does not need to make any new demands on Lin Han in this time period, or any concerns about Jazz’s Wèilái. This is not necessary, especially This is not necessary for USA Today.
"Editor-in-chief, it's too great, this Lin Han is really too powerful, your vision is really unique, unexpectedly discovered that this is a talent so early"
After the subordinates took the manuscript away, another editor of the USA Basketball Department had just written another piece of news and sent it up. With a look of excitement, in today's public opinion circles in the United States, today's United States is considered to be a few Lin Mi media. In this newspaper, not only the editor-in-chief such as Alex, most of the editors and reporters are actually fans of Lin Han.
As Alex said in the newspaper before, when you don’t look at Lin Han without prejudice, you will love everything about him. His basketball is now the most attractive basketball in NBA.
This is Alex's evaluation of Lin Han. In fact, Lin Han is now without the support of Jordan fans, and the popularity is still high. Lin Han now attracts fans Sùdù is terrifying. Not even worse than when Jordan entered the league.
"It's really great. I played 40+10 super data for the first time when I led the team alone. However, although I thought he could succeed in NBA, I never thought that Lin Han could develop to this point, it was incredible."
After enjoying the praise of his subordinates, Alex is also proud of his face, although it is said to be humble. But this time the editor-in-chief of the USA basketball team is not at all humble. Because of Lin Han, he has been very beautiful in recent times. Who made him the first person to dig out Lin Han? When Lin Han did not know Lin Han in the world, he was the first to believe that Lin Han could succeed, and then at that time was laughed at by all his colleagues, and now those who laughed at him would look guilty and embarrassed when they saw him , Which makes him very refreshing.
It's just, as he said. Lin Han can succeed in NBA, this is his prediction. But he really did not think that Lin Han could perform so well in his rookie season, which has long exceeded his estimated range.
"By the way, editor-in-chief, shall we follow the news of Allen Iverson’s release? Will we continue to report? He will graduate next school year, but there is no university in the United States willing to accept him. See if we can initiate A movement, about racial discrimination?"
Allen Iverson is the arrogant of Virginia, and USA today is the media of Virginia. In the recent period of basketball in the United States, there are two most important things. One is the streak of Lin Han and the Jazz. One is about Iverson's release from prison after half a year in prison and some of the little men's racial discrimination.
Compared with Lin Han’s scenery, this Virginia high school student genius can say that the future is bleak. As Virginia’s most talented player, he has fallen to the point of not even a college, even Virginia. Of universities are terrified.
"Forget it, no more hype. Now that his reputation has been fixed, no matter how hard we try, we can't compete with the public opinion in the United States. Let's focus on the Duncan of the alliance. This has been playing for half a year. The ball will be able to moining the kid is a personal thing, maybe the next Lin Han"
After Alex ordered these things, he closed his eyes tiredly. Although Lin Han’s madness has made many media newspapers in the United States sell well in the recent period, many of them are also very tired.
Especially in USA Today, as the few media in the United States that do not discriminate against Lin Han, their opponents are a lot.
After the game between Lin Han and the Cavaliers, USA Today was almost busy all night. In fact, USA Today is the epitome of most of the recent American media. Because of Lin Han and the Jazz, they have been really happy recently. Coexist with troubles.
In this case, after Lin Han won the first time in his career alone, the next day, almost all major media in the United States basically made the most important report on the game on the front page.
Before the game, most of the media in the United States questioned whether there would be so-called things that appeared after Lin Han left Malone. In the end, the result of this game was that although the Jazz won very difficult, the ball The status of most of the team's players is not very good, but Lin Han's performance is absolutely beyond doubt.
So at the post-match press conference after the game, the Cavaliers coach Mike Fratello even swears. When the reporter on the spot repeatedly asked Lin Han about the performance of this game, The Cavaliers head coach really can't help it, from this we can also see that this game Lin Han hit the Cavaliers head coach.
It's not just Cavaliers coach Mike Flatro who is extremely angry and helpless to Lin Han, like the Cavaliers' center. This game was completely humiliated by Lin Hancher, not even Dolti, who was the center of the Cavaliers. After the game, he didn't even enter the locker room. He left the stadium directly and returned to the hotel. Not only did he not be interviewed by the reporter, he did not even participate in the team's assembly.
Obviously, being able to let such a veteran player do such a rude thing can be seen how much influence Lin Han has on him in this game, it is simply impossible to see people, yes. After the game ended, Doherty could hardly see anyone.
An All-Star center was repaired by a rookie shooting guard both on the offensive and defensive ends, how can this make him think so fast.
and so. The post-match press conference after the game between the Jazz and the Cavaliers yesterday was quite interesting. Before the game, the Jazz side was cautious. Everyone never talked about the outcome of the game, but the Cavaliers were extremely high-profile. The Cavaliers head coach just sent the game not only to end the Jazz streak but also to lock Lin Han out.
Only the final result is. After the game, the Cavaliers were angry in addition to escaping, and everyone on the Jazz was extremely excited, especially Lin Han, the player with the best performance in this game can be said to once again make the media in the United States feel Arriving in a feeling like Mu Chunfeng, he was very moody. He did not choke on these reporters for the first time after the game.
It was indeed a very happy thing to be able to beat the Cavaliers in the game against the Cavaliers and maintain a record of winning streak, and what made Lin Han more happy was that the day after the game ended . Lin Han was actually called by the team's general manager to the office to discuss some things.
It was not the first time that Lin Han, the general manager of the Jazz, was called to the office to discuss Wèntí. This time Lin Han was obviously not talking about Lin Han’s endorsement contracts. It's about discussing the team's real event, about the current status of the team.
Although the Jazz have been in a winning streak in recent times, because in January, the league's trading information is becoming more and more frequent. As one of the teams that need to trade the most, the Jazz have also recently dealt with player transactions. Very frequent, especially news about team center Spencer and team All-Star guard Jeff Malone.
As the three heads of the team, although Lin Han has not been able to participate in the construction of the team before, he has heard of many team affairs. Lin Han Zhīdào, Jeff Malone and Spencer may want to After leaving recently, Spencer’s things are easy to understand. If Jerry Sloan just wants to enter the playoffs, there is no pursuit of the playoffs, then stay Spencer will stay, this guy Although it can’t hold up at the crucial moment, it is big, powerful, and not old. It is a potential stock, and it’s okay to keep it, but now the Jazz are not as pursued as they were at the beginning of the season. But in order to compete for the championship, in this case, Spencer is completely useless now, and even has no training value.
Spencer has not even entered the activation list recently. Aron Williams is the team's starter in most cases. Even Spencer did not even come to training in the last two days. Obviously he has already Zhidào himself About to leave.
As for Jeff Malone, seriously, neither Lin Han nor Malone or Stockton nor coach Jerry Sloan want him to leave.
Although he is a competitor with Jeff Malone, Lin Han has always been very respectful of this competitor. This is a very professional player, a very very professional, although he lost the main competition with Lin Han , But even after returning to the bench, the jazz guard showed a very good attitude and did not have complaints and opinions because of his bench, which is better than Humphries or Bennot and others. Too much, too much.
Without Jeff Malone's average performance of nearly 16 points on the bench, the Jazz won't win so many games under the leadership of Lin Han and Stockton and Malone this season.
So if Jeff Malone is willing to play off the bench, Jerry Sloan or the Jazz don’t trade him with Kěnéng.
It's just obvious that although Jeff Malone doesn't want to leave the Jazz like a championship team, he also doesn't want to be replaced as a substitute in his own year, in this case. After thinking for a long time, Jeff Malone submitted a trade statement to the team.
In nba, although the player has a contract, Kěnéng does not leave freely. But if the players really make up their minds to go, generally the team will not obstruct, of course, players like Malone and Stockton and Lin Han will leave, the team will repeatedly discourage and repeatedly communicate, Until it is really impossible to communicate, it will eventually choose to trade players. There will not be a so-called because the player has a contract to leave the player forcibly. If the player does not want to, he will throw him out of the roster. He couldn't even play the game, so he was directly abolished.
If this happens, not only will the league intervene, but the player union will also intervene. Even teams that dare to do so don’t want to find good players in the free market.
and so. After Jeff Malone's repeated communication with the Jazz, he still chose to leave. The Jazz can only let go except regret.
Although Jeff Malone was a substitute for Lin Han in the Jazz, as a player who even feared Jordan, the king of the league's CIC, Jeff Malone's market is quite Hǎode, although the current nbaHǎode shooting guard is not lacking, but like Jeff Malone, who has proved his all-star shooting guard, is still very rare.
No team has the luxury of a Jazz. After having a Lin Han, there was actually a Jeff Malone.
So, after Jeff Malone appeared in the trading market. At least ten teams in the league have shown extremely strong interest.
Of course, the most intense interest naturally came from the 76ers. Since Barkley left, this team has been rebuilding. They did not want Jeff Malone because they wanted Jeff Malone to impact the playoffs or rebuild as the team Wèilái. At the core of the game, the 76ers have lost confidence in all the players in their team. In this case, they need to clean up a lot of high-paying players with long contracts. They also hope to get some strength. But the contract period Short player, Jeff Malone has two years left on the contract, just for the 76ers.
It's just that although the 76ers were interested in Jeff Malone, Jeff Malone could not look down on the current fish belly. In order to respect Jeff Malone's choice, the Jazz did not move and did not immediately accept Hornacek and Jeff. Malone's one-on-one deal.
But today I invited team coaches Jerry Sloan and Lin Han and Malone and Stockton to discuss what to do about it.
To be honest, although the Jazz are now the first in the league, they have won 36 consecutive games in a season, but this team has too many defects, the team needs to make up the inside, and the team’s bench needs to be reset. In this case, a Hornacek and Jeff Malone deal is not enough to solve everything.
Although Hornacek is excellent, can score and pass, I am afraid to escape from a team like the 76ers to play for the Jazz. But the key is that after losing Jeff Malone, the Jazz want to find a good quality Insider is really too difficult.
So there are two kinds of remarks in the current Jazz team. In fact, these two kinds of remarks were produced in front of Lin Han. Jerry Sloan hopes to get an inside, super defensive inside. Now the general environment of the league is like this, Although Lin Han can sometimes make guest appearances, Lin Han's guest appearances are useless even if he can beat 80% of the league's insiders, because 20% of the insiders like Olajuwon who cannot win Lin Han are the biggest opponents of the Jazz.
Therefore, Lin Han’s victory over Doherty yesterday was exciting, but it didn’t make any sense. The Jazz didn’t meet Kěnéng in the finals.
And the Jazz want to break through from the west and want to win the highest honor without an inside line, so Jerry Sloan hopes to use Jeff Malone for an inside line.
Only the key is that the inside line in the league, especially the excellent inside line, is extremely precious. Even Jeff Malone may not be able to change it. In this case, most of the teams that are interested in Jeff Malone do not have an inside line. Trade, so in accordance with the general manager Leiden's meaning, this season first to resolve the substitute Wèntí, and then slowly resolve the inside Wèntí, more inclined to take Jeff Malone first for a super outside.
However, at this time, Lin Han watched these two team tycoons fry, he did not intervene, joke, even Malone and Stockton did not intervene, he just had to watch on the side.
Malone and Stockton did not intervene because they were used to the quarrel between the two, and Lin Han did not intervene because he had not yet figured out the situation. This was his first time to attend the team's high-level meeting.
"Jerry, if you must need an inside, then there is a deal. The Nets want to trade pj Brown and Kevin Edwards and Rick Mahon for Jeff Malone and Spencer. You think we should accept this deal. "
Faced with Jerry Sloan's aggressiveness, General Manager Leiden said sarcastically. After Ryden finished speaking, Jerry Sloan's face also changed.
Kevin Edwards is a spare tire of Petrovic. After the death of Petrović last season, the Nets desperately needed a shooting guard to dig up 1.91 meters of Edwards, but it turned out that this 1.91 defender was completely Does not meet the requirements of Chuck Daly, but this guy's contract is still four years, four-year high-pay contract, which is a semi-junk contract.
As for Rick Mahon, this guy is 36 years old. If he was put 10 years ago, Mahon is also an insider, but is it useful now? As for Pj Brown, the Nets substitute, this guy was a second-round pick last year. After going to Europe for a lap, he returned to the Nets. Both his strength and potential are Bùcuò. It can be seen that this player is a compensation for the Nets Jazz, but This guy is too young to trust.
And Jerry Sloan has been scared by Spencer, the potential center~EbookFREE.me~ Now Jerry Sloan is most afraid of potential centers, especially the kind of potential centers that have no offensive capabilities.
So Jerry Sloan was also somewhat weak after being satirized by Raiden. Except for the Nets and their transactions involving the inside, the other teams have no inside, and the Nets are obviously robbing them. Even if Jerry Sloan wants to be inside, he will never agree with the Nets deal.
"I think this transaction Bùcuò, it would be better if we could add David Wesley"
Just when Jerry Sloan was ridiculously said by Rayden, this time Lin Han, who had been watching these transaction documents in his hand, pointed to the Nets’ trading chip in his hand and then pointed at it seriously. Said.
It was just after Lin Han said, whether it was Scott Redden or Jerry Sloan or Malone and Stockton was a surprise.
Although this kid was called this time, they never thought Lin Han would really express his opinion.
But in any case, this is the first time Lin Han has made his own voice on the Jazz. (To be continued...)
