: 408. NBA is a loyal place

　　 After Garnett travelled eastward to the Celtics, the smash hit No. 21 duel disappeared.
Now that Garnett returns to the Timberwolves to put on the No. 21 jersey again, people seem to once again see Garnett and Duncan's No. 21 showdown right in front of them.
But now things are different, Duncan and Garnett are both 39-year-old veterans, and they have long lost their courage.
The only difference is that the Spurs are still a playoff team, and the Timberwolves still can't make the playoffs.
However, the fact that the two former super power forwards can re-wear the No. 21 jersey showdown at the last moment of their careers has made many fans feel gratified.
Then the Heat had a deal with the Pacers. As Granger was about to retire, he wanted to return to the Pacers to retire. Pat Riley would not like to be a villain anymore.
The Pacers traded back Granger with the 2015 second-round pick.
At this time, fans came out to tease.
"It's been a long time since I watched the NBA. The NBA players are really loyal! James is still in the Cavaliers, Garnett is still in the Timberwolves, Jordan is still in the Clippers, Duncan is still in the Spurs, the driver is still in the Mavericks, and Granger is still walking. Of course, Kobe is still in the Lakers and Wade is still in the Heat."
"After more than ten years of jail time, I found that everyone is really loyal. Garnett is still in Timberwolves, James is still in Cavaliers, Kobe is still in Lakers, Yi Jianlian is still in Guangdong, Torres is still in Atletico, Germany Roba and Mourinho are still at Chelsea, and Faye Wong and Nicholas Tse are still in love."

The matter of trading does not happen if it does not happen. When it happens, it is often concentrated.
Because it is impossible for a team to trade with only one candidate, they usually negotiate with many teams. At this time, the decision of any team will involve the decisions of other teams.
For example, the Celtics originally wanted to use the pick and Rondo to trade with the Timberwolves. They wanted not only Thaddeus Young, but also Shabas, a young player with excellent offensive and defensive talent.
However, the Timberwolves management team that had been pitted by McMillen once did not kill the Celtics. Instead, they made a loss-making trade with the Nets and traded Garnett back.
As a result, the Celtics can only choose the Mavericks whose offer is much lower.
The Dallas Mavericks and Celtics announced that they have completed a five-man deal.
The Celtics sent Rajon Rondo, Troy Murphy, and received Jay Crowder, Jameer Nelson, Brandon Knight from the Mavericks, as well as the Mavericks' first-round picks and second picks this summer. Round of picks.
"Aren, the West will become more lively now. The Mavericks' perimeter lineup is comparable to yours." The little girl said with some worry. The little girl is a fan of the Lakers, Kobe and Liu Ren, of course she wants to see most. The Lakers are the strongest team.
The Mavericks have a good momentum this year. Nowitzki is still performing well, averaging 20 points and 6 rebounds per game. Ellis averaged 18 points, 4 rebounds and 7 assists per game to reach the highest level of organization in his career. Although Parsons was pitted later, he ranked first. He performed well in the Mavericks in 2009, averaging 13 points, 5 rebounds and 3 assists per game. Chandler also averaged 8 points and 11 rebounds after returning to the Mavericks. Now with Rondo, a rhythm to do big things!
Now the Mavericks seem to have the strength to become the strongest team in the Western Conference. They acquired Rondo with little loss and formed the league's most expensive starting lineup.
Rondo, Ellis, Parsons, Nowitzki, Chandler, in terms of salary, seem crazy.
Rondo 15 million, Ellis 12 million, Parsons 15 million, Nowitzki 22 million, and Chandler 18 million. Apart from the Nets, no other team can match this salary. ! The salary of a starter directly is higher than that of the entire Lakers team!
"The Celtics are crazy? Trade Rondo for Nelson?" Liu Ren couldn't help but complain.
Although Liu Ren knew that such a deal would happen, he still felt weird when it happened. The Mavericks general manager Old Nelson gave Celtics general manager Anji what fascinating soup did the Mavericks give. The best of the chips is the defensive small forward Crowder. As for the first-round pick, after the Mavericks got Rondo, they are basically a tasteless pick. The Mavericks are determined to enter the playoffs. Yes, history happened like this, and the current situation looks the same.
"The Celtics want the No. 1 pick. Looking at their current lineup, they are the worst in the East." Monica's tone is full of mockery. The Lakers and Celtics have never dealt with each other. As a Los Angeles native Moni Card hates the Celtics very much.
"With Danny Angie's character, maybe the Celtics made the playoffs after trading Rondo." Liu Ren has no ill feeling towards the Celtics and is the strongest in team history. Opponent, but he dislikes Danny Angie.
In fact, even Celtics fans don't like Angie that much.
"Then congratulations to them," Monica thinks about the situation in the East. Even if the Celtics have the worst lineup, they may be able to make the playoffs. Playing in the East is no longer a lineup issue. The Celtics are now The lineup is so mediocre, and both sit firmly in seventh place.
...
...
Liu Ren didn't care much about these two transactions, but the white-haired old man in the office of the general manager of the Toyota Center in Los Angeles sighed heavily.
The Lakers' trades have always been loud and will never happen. The trades are all coming suddenly. For example, they almost got Paul at first, and later got Nash and Howard. They all happened suddenly.
Kupchak actually pursued Anthony and James in the summer, but both refused.
Since the Paul trade was rejected in 2011, the position of point guard has always been a pain in Kupchak's heart.
Although there is Jeremy Lin now, there are also talented LaVine and Clarkson.
But LaVine seems to be more suitable to be a scorer, Clarkson is more suitable to be a bench gangster, the characteristics of both are too prominent, Jeremy Lin is obviously not in the long-term plan of Kupchak, Jeremy Lin’s salary is too high, so high Can hire an All-Star point guard for his salary.
So from the beginning of the season, the news that Rondo and the Celtics continued to conflict, Kupchak has been planning to get Rondo over.
But there were countless transactions made privately, Celtic General Manager Angie refused!
Kobe came to the Toyota Center for training as early as before. This guy did not stay at home for a while on Christmas, but took his wife and daughter to train with him. During the afternoon game, he took his wife and daughter to the Staples Center to manage The layer left him three sidelines.
After Kobe arrived at the Toyota Center, he went to Kupchak to talk with Kupchak about the team as before, but found that Kupchak was in an unusually low today.
"The Celtics' group of people is really narrow-minded. It can be seen from Garnett's deal that year." Kupchak was very lost today, and the deal that had been planned for several months went bankrupt today.
Danny Ainge did not accept the Lakers' use of Jeremy Lin, Nick Young, and the Lakers' bargaining chip for the first round of the 16th draft. Instead of sending Rondo to the Lakers, he chose to trade with the Mavericks. Kupchak felt very frustrated. .
Obviously Jeremy Lin and Nick Young had better chips than Nelson and Claude, but the Celtics refused without even discussing it.
"It doesn't matter, we have opportunities in the summer," Bryant took a sip of red wine, "Mickey, your wine is good, look a little bit, we are in good condition right now?"
"This is an opportunity to form the Big Four. I missed it like this, and I am still very reconciled." The white-haired Kupchak was even less calm than Kobe.
"The Big Four are not necessarily suitable for us, are they? We didn't try it once two years ago, so let's go on like this." Kobe doesn't quite understand why Kupchak likes to build a super starter so much. If nothing else, if the team is all Is a superstar really better than now?
Moreover, the team originally had fewer pitchers. Jeremy Lin's three-point ability is not particularly powerful, but he is better than Rondo. Nick Young's three-point ability is even more indispensable for the Lakers bench.
Kobe has always felt that Kupchak may be the strongest of all general managers in the entire NBA history in terms of trading, but there are always problems in lineup selection~EbookFREE.me~ There was a Zen master to help out, in 2012 It was revealed after the Zen Master left his post that the formation of a Big Four lineup of role players was a mess, only to recruit famous and powerful players, but did not consider the issue of lineup matching.
The Lakers lineup has been so well matched in the past two years, thanks to the stupid Liu Ren in the eyes of Kobe...
"However, I completely understand why the Celtics have been a bad team since Larry Bird won three championships in the 1980s, until they got a total with McHale's gift. Champion." Kobe's tone was ironic. "Their management has always been so incompetent. At the beginning, Walker and Pierce did not make the playoffs. In recent years, Angie's operations have made me more confident that we will become history in a few years. The team with the most championships."
Kobe is going to inherit the tradition of the Lakers, the team's star enters the rhythm of the team management after retiring, more and more used to look at the future with a big eye.
Kobe continued to comfort Kupchak, after all, Kupchak spent a lot of effort to get Rondo.
But in Kobe's view, Kupchak is a bit old, more and more stubborn, too obsessed with the super lineup, more obsessed than before.
Under Kobe's relief, Kupchak eased his mind and continued to plan for the future. You don't need to ask him to know that he is already busy forming another super combination.
