I’m Really Playing Basketball

Chapter 816: Shocking deal!

In the nba, winning a championship is a very hard thing.

In the same way, celebrating winning the championship is also a very hard thing.

Especially Chen Xiao.

After the Warriors won the championship, Chen Xiao not only had to deal with the media from the United States, but also had to deal with a large number of media reporters from China, Japan, South Korea and other Asian and all over the world.

I have been busy with these things, the time has come to June 23, and the NBA draft is about to start.

As a championship team, the draft is basically impossible to have any participation.

But the Warriors are not like the average championship team. The Warriors have had outstanding young players sent away over the years.

So the Warriors have actually had a very good draft pick over the years.

The Warriors drafted rookie Jaylen Brown with the eighth overall pick last year.

And this year, after the finals, the trade applications for Jokic also came one after another.

Jokic lost his starting position with the Warriors last season. Because of Chen Xiao playing inside, Jokic and Nongmei shared the remaining starting position.

And most of the time thick eyebrows starters are more.

So Jokic's playing time and opportunities with the Warriors were very limited last season.

But Jokic's strength is definitely beyond doubt, so if such a player leaves, the entire NBA is basically surging.

In fact, when the Warriors were still in the playoffs, the news said that the Celtics wanted to trade Noah and Jokic.

It's just that at that time Celtics general manager Danny Ainge came out and apologized immediately.

He really is desperate for Jokic.

It's just obvious that Danny Ainge will never be the only one who desires Jokic.

Therefore, after the finals, although Danny Ainge was crazy to pursue Jokic, it is clear that the Celtics' chips are not what the Warriors desire.

To be honest, if a player like Noah is really needed by the Warriors before Chen Xiao plays inside, Kerr also likes this kind of inside that can be used to defend.

But with Chen Xiao as an insider, the entire league, Kerr will not look down on other insider organizers.

Besides, everyone who watched the finals knows that now the Warriors don't play that kind of support-type offense, but play basketball where everyone has the offensive ability, with Chen Xiao, Wade and Ron Howard playing singles. A system that can be attacked by everyone with ability as the core.

In this system, to be honest, there is no place for Noah.

Therefore, although Jokic is definitely not in the Warriors next season, if the Celtics just use Noah as a bargaining chip, it will definitely not work.

In fact, because the Warriors cannot renew Jokic's contract with a maximum salary, although many teams are very interested in Jokic, most of them come with the idea of ​​​​whoring.

Why should I spend chips if I can prostitute for nothing?

Therefore, relatively speaking, Danny Ainge and the Celtics are actually quite sincere.

Of course, it's just this sincerity, the Warriors don't need it that much.

Similarly, in fact, when Jokic left, the Warriors fully respected Jokic's own opinions.

Because Chen Xiao set the tone for Jokic's departure to take Jokic's ideas as the first priority.

If Jokic wants to go to a certain team, it doesn't matter if the Warriors give it away.

If the team over there really has no chip exchange, then wait for Jokic to leave freely.

Seriously, because of Jokic's contributions to the Warriors in the past four years, the Warriors want to renew Jokic's contract with a maximum salary.

Jokic is worthy of a max contract extension with bird rights.

Therefore, the Warriors actually do not want Jokic to flow into the free market and sign other players freely, so that Jokic will get less money.

But the problem is, to renew the contract with Jokic's bird rights, the Warriors will sign Jokic first and then send it away, and they need to eat a big contract that is enough to match Jokic's contract. If Jokic wants to go to the team , The big contract sent out is very long. To be honest, the Warriors will also be difficult to handle.

Therefore, the Warriors' side is actually in a dilemma regarding the handling of Jokic's contract extension.

The Warriors want to reward Jokic with a real max salary.

But it can't just depend on the Warriors themselves, but also on the opposing team.

So Jokic also saw the dilemma of the Warriors, saying that he did not have a certain team he wanted to go to. He would not choose any team. Whichever team provided the team with high chips, he would go. where.

I have to say that Jokic's remarks moved Chen Xiao and the team very much.

Sometimes respect is indeed a two-way street. When you respect a player enough, as long as the player's morality is normal, he will respect you in turn.

Of course, although Jokic made such a statement, the Warriors certainly couldn’t just send him to a not-so-excellent team for the team’s meritorious center who built a dynasty.

The Warriors want to send Jokic to a team with him at its core, and that team has to be a big city.

Because New York is Westbrook's trump card, the Warriors will not send him over, so it can only be selected in Los Angeles.

The Clippers and the Lakers, the boss of the Clippers is Paul, and it is difficult for Jokic to be the core after passing.

In this case, the Warriors' first choice is the Lakers.

Well, Jerry West chose the Lakers. After Chen Xiao made a request, these are the reasons why Jerry West told Chen Xiao.

Chen Xiao didn't know how many reasons Jerry West had to 'nourish' his old club, but Chen Xiao recognized the reason given by Jerry West.

Because the boss of the Lakers Kobe Kobe is going to retire, the Lakers have to rebuild, and since they have to rebuild, then the stage for Jokic will be there.

And the stage of Los Angeles, the stage of the Lakers is really big.

Of course, for Jokic, the boss of Ke is also envious.

After the finals, the boss of Keke often went through Chen Xiao's back door.

In this case, Chen Xiao naturally finds it difficult to refuse. Therefore, since both parties are interested, it is necessary for both parties to come up with a trading plan that is suitable for both parties.

And the Lakers are the only team that can't come up with a contract to match Jokic.

The Lakers center Gasol was originally a bargaining chip sent by the boss, but Gasol’s big contract has three years left, and the Warriors don’t need such a long contract.

So, after the Golden State Warriors won the championship, these days, it was really crazy to think about how to get this deal done.

Of course, this is what the boss and Jerry West think about.

Chen Xiao didn't rack his brains too much.

In fact, Chen Xiao didn't intervene at all, but before the draft, Chen Xiao learned from Jerry West that the Warriors and the Lakers had formed a trade plan for Jokic.

When the free market opens, you can sign first and then exchange.

For Jerry West, Chen Xiao must be completely relieved.

Therefore, after the finals, Chen Xiao was tired for so long, and it would be good to be a salted fish at home with peace of mind.

And after this year's NBA finals, the entire NBA is very lively.

Don't talk about God3's dream of the nba, it's just that other teams are very lively.

For example, the Warriors defeated the Spurs in the Western Conference finals. During the finals, the uncle of the Spurs’ leading player Leonard made a statement in the media. Leonard has submitted a trade application to the Spurs and he is leaving the Spurs.

As the leader of the new generation of superstars in the league, Leonard has just been promoted to the core of the team in the past two seasons, and he will leave the team with a three-year contract with the team.

When this happened, it was indeed very controversial.

According to Uncle Ka, Leonard was treated unfairly by the Spurs, and the Spurs’ team building idea was not worthy of Leonard’s strength and ambition.

Then, a lot of internal information about the Spurs began to be released, such as Parker diss Leonard after the Spurs lost to the Clippers in the Western Conference semifinals last year.

In short, after the Warriors won the championship, the most lively gossip in the NBA was the confrontation between Leonard's uncle and the Spurs.

Yes, Leonard didn't come out, and even the Spurs couldn't find where Leonard went.

But Uncle Ka alone made the Spurs very passive and embarrassing.

Why the Spurs and Leonard have a 2+1 (player option) contract and are still passive?

Because Uncle Ka said publicly in the media that Leonard injured his leg in this year's Western Playoffs because of the Spurs' crazy use, and the Spurs team doctor insisted on letting Leonard play after the diagnosis, which made Leonard Nader's injury has added to the injury, so Leonard has now been suspended indefinitely.

Good guy, this is a threat to strike!

If you don't trade me, I won't play for the Spurs!

So the question is, is Leonard really injured in the playoffs?

This is indeed an injury, but which superstar in the NBA did not suffer from minor injuries in the playoffs?

Wade's knee was sore during this year's finals and he has been pumping fluid before the game.

Generally speaking, as long as it's not the kind of injury that can't be done, or it's an injury that has sequelae, the players don't talk about it.

Take Kobe Bryant as an example. He had sore hands, legs, and body everywhere.

Therefore, Uncle Ka used this reason to get the Spurs. The Spurs felt embarrassed and expressed embarrassment to Uncle Ka, but after being embarrassed, they realized that they were very passive.

For this reason, although mentally retarded, it is really useful.

Leonard did get injured for the Spurs, and then the Spurs did know he was injured and put him on.

This is the moral high ground.

Even if the league knew it was bad for Leonard to announce his departure on a three-year contract, it would not punish Leonard.

Even, Leonard will not play for the Spurs in the future, and the Spurs have no good reason to deduct wages.

Thinking about it this way, the Spurs suddenly found out that Uncle Ka looks like an idiot, but he actually uses short hands, which is really deadly!

Therefore, after the Spurs found that Uncle Ka was not easy to deal with, they wanted to find Leonard, but Leonard, disappeared...

The Spurs and Popovich's hearts were completely cold.

Missing, this means that Leonard has made a choice.

He is not easy to face the Spurs, he knows it is immoral for the Spurs to do so, but he supports his uncle.

Therefore, Leonard also insisted on leaving the Spurs.

In this regard, the Spurs soon despaired.

Of course, the entire alliance is naturally crazy.

Because after Jokic, another young star entered the market.

Because Leonard didn't designate the next home, or it was useless to designate the next home.

The Spurs must be the highest bidder, so the entire league is making offers to the Spurs.

Of course, the Spurs don't want to trade Leonard, but with such a posture, it seems impossible not to trade.

Of course, Leonard and Uncle Ka did this to the Spurs, and the Spurs certainly couldn't follow Leonard's wishes.

Although Uncle Ka and Leonard didn't designate their next home, you don't think the Spurs' strength is worthy of you.

Then you must want to go to a team like the Warriors, Bucks, Cavaliers or Bobcats?

Coupled with the fact that the Bobcats sent Jimmy Butler as a bargaining chip to the Spurs, it was hard not to make the Spurs suspect that Leonard did not collude with the Bobcats.

Jimmy Butler has had a great playoff season this season, and it's actually okay to add a few extra chips for Leonard.

Lynx's offer is actually okay.

But the Spurs were the first to turn down the Bobcats' offer.

It's impossible for the Spurs to send Leonard to these superteams.

Then I looked around and found an offer that caught the attention of the Spurs.

There is no way not to shine, because this offer is so special.

"The team's players are optional, and the team's draft picks are optional."

After the Spurs and the Lakers confirmed again and again, the answer they got was exactly what they imagined, four first-round picks in the next seven years, as well as all players in the Lakers now, as long as they meet the trade contract matching (except Kobe Bryant)

This is basically the Lakers trading an entire team for Leonard.

Who doesn't know that after Kobe's retirement, the Lakers will rebuild, and now they will take away the four first-round contracts of the Lakers. Now that the excellent players are taken away, what will the Lakers use to rebuild?

It can be said that this offer from the Lakers is simply impossible to refuse among all the offers.

So much so that Popovich finally sighed: "It really is Kobe's team."

Kobe's team, UU reading www.uukanshu. com is always so crazy.

Of course, these are private, Chen Xiao and most people don't know.

so…

After Chen Xiao watched the draft at home, he received news from Jerry West: "Chen, Kobe said that our trade with the Lakers will be suspended for a few days."

Then, with the opening of the free market, Jokic has not signed the first and then the trade, the Lakers, Bobcats, and Spurs have completed a shocking three-way transaction.

The Spurs sent the team's leading player, Leonard, the team's 2018 first-round pick, 2020 first-round pick, 2022 first-round pick, and Jimmy Butler from the Bobcats to the Lakers 2018, 2020, 2022 , a 2024 first-round pick.

The Bobcats sent the team's star swingman Jimmy Butler in exchange for the Lakers' star center Gasol Jr., potential forward Larry Nance, potential shooter Joe Harris, and the Spurs' 18, 20, 22 first-round picks right.

The Lakers traded Gasol Jr., Larry Nance, Joe Harris, and the team's next four first-round picks to Leonard from the Spurs.

In fact, most people were stunned when they saw the deal.

Chen Xiao was also stunned, of course, the stunned point was different.

"The general manager of the Spurs must have used a gun to force Kobe to trade!"

"Kobe is stupid, and this kind of transaction is also changed!"

Just when these people were madly complaining about Kobe and the Spurs felt extremely comfortable up and down...

The second big deal of the summer came out.

The Bobcats announced that they had completed a sign-and-trade with the Lakers, sending Jokic to the Lakers in exchange for Kobe Bryant, the legendary Lakers star.

As soon as this deal came out, the entire NBA was dumbfounded.
