This Forward is Not Serious

Lin Ying was stunned.

Durant and the others were also stunned.

Which song is Nash singing?

Didn't they already perform this welcome ceremony on the day they came to Phoenix?

This happened suddenly and out of nowhere.

But Lin Ying reacted quickly.

Was he traded to the Suns?

Then he smiled.

A burst of happy smile!

In the list of expectations given before, the Suns ranked first!

Unexpectedly, it really happened!

He said before that he was nervous and excited after seeing the Bulls trade.

Nervous because you're not sure where you'll go, excited because the Suns are becoming more likely.

His previous wish list (in order): Suns, Bulls, 76ers, Thunder, Warriors, Nets.

The reason for this order is closely related to Lin Ying's previous exchange with Kobe.

During that exchange, Lin Ying followed his inner voice. What he wanted most after losing the Western Conference Finals was the championship!

Including this training and communication with Nash, he became more determined in his previous choice.

Because he knows that with his current strength, it is not enough to directly become the boss of a team.

On the contrary, if you go to a team that can compete for the championship, you can not only follow your inner voice, but also level up and develop at the same time, killing two birds with one stone.

In fact, to put it bluntly, if Anthony hadn't caused this trouble, it would have been the best choice for him to stay in the Nuggets with Karl Lao's trust and support in him.

But now taking the initiative to leave and go to a similar team is actually the best choice.

This is why the Suns are ranked first.

Although he doesn't know what kind of coach Gentry is, there is Nash!

Nash's presence ensures that his status in the Suns will not be too low.

Secondly, the Suns are a special team.

Just like Nash's own feeling, the sun is setting, and theoretically he is far away from the championship.

This is also a very important reason why the Nuggets sent Lin Ying to the Suns.

Because, in theory, there is no threat!

Otherwise, they would definitely send Lin Ying to the east first.

But Lin Ying knows, it should be said that he is the only one who knows because of his eyes, and the sun will still have its afterglow next season!

Although it is still unknown whether the Suns will still have Diaw or Bell after the trade, but the Suns without them in history will reach the Western Conference Finals next season!

Moreover, they played against the Lakers to Tianwang Mountain, and the Lakers only won by 2 points.

Even if Kobe hadn't been too magical in G6 and made all kinds of shots that made Gentry emoticon, the outcome of that series would still be unknown.

Plus the Suns’ team atmosphere.

It is no exaggeration to say that in the same Western Conference Finals, the Suns' probability of defeating the Lakers next season is far greater than that of the Nuggets last season.

What needs attention is that because of the domino effect caused by Yao Ming's weight loss, Artest did not go to the Lakers as in history.

Historically, Artest gave the Lakers a lot of support on both offense and defense in the playoffs this year, especially in the Western Conference Finals, where he averaged 15 points per game.

Of course, there are Celtics behind the Lakers. It will still be epic to win the championship this year.

However, among the choices given to Lin Ying by Walken Dean, it was the team with the best chance.

From the bottom of his heart, he wants a championship and also wants to beat the Lakers!

This was his truest thought after losing to the Lakers for two consecutive years. He clearly had a chance to win the championship but unfortunately lost because of the team atmosphere.

Moreover, the sun will set afterward.

The end of an era means the rise of a new era.

He also has a chance to become Phoenix's new sun and rise on a new day.

Therefore, when you go to Taiyang, you have the opportunity to succeed, and you also have the opportunity to establish a career, killing two birds with one stone.

There is a reason why he puts the Suns as the first team in expectations!

"I'll go out and make a phone call."

Looking at the happy Nash and the anxious Durant, Lin Ying finally decided to go outside and call Dean Walken back.

The results are out, but the specific details of the transaction are not yet known.

If he swapped with Stoudemire, wouldn't it be for nothing?

Although, this is unlikely.

As soon as the call was connected, Dean Walken expressed his reluctance and gratitude to him again.

This nanny is actually very conscientious.

Then, the two also talked about the specific details of the transaction.

Trading, of course, is different from what it was before.

To be more precise, it should be different.

The transaction completed now is very complex. It is a four-party transaction, which is roughly like this:

The Nuggets sent Lin Ying, Kenyon Martin, and Tony Allen to get Diaw, Bell, and Dragic;

The Grizzlies traded Quentin Richardson for Zach Randolph;

The Clippers traded Zach Randolph for Kenyon Martin and a future first-round pick from the Suns;

The Suns sent Diaw, Bell, Dragic, and a future first-round pick to acquire Lin Ying, Tony Allen, and Quentin Richardson.

A four-party transaction, everyone gets what they need.

When the Nuggets sent away Lin Ying, they also disposed of Martin's junk contract, and those who were traded back were high-quality role players who were useful to the team.

Diaw can replace Lin Ying's role on the offensive end, Bell is their long-awaited 3D player, and Dragic can be upgraded as a backup point guard.

"Trade Lin Ying to get the most suitable role player", Walken Dean perfectly fulfilled his original promise to Kroenke.

As for Tony Allen, he only has one year left on his contract and is of little use offensively, making him expendable.

The Grizzlies and Clippers each have what they need.

Because Griffin suffered a season-ending injury shortly after the draft, someone needed to fill the starting power forward position.

Martin's contract may seem like garbage, but in fact, it only has two years left. He will replace Griffin for one year and the contract will expire the next year, so there is a lot of room for maneuver.

As for Randolph, he has been a cancer in the past few years after coming out of Portland, and everyone sent him away like a plague.

Then talk about the sun.

This wave of substitutions can be regarded as bloodshed, and the Nuggets are also opening their mouths.

But it can be seen that the management's desire and confidence in Lin Ying is definitely used to train the next core.

Of course, it can also be seen that the management also hopes that Nash can finally win the championship in his final days.

After Lin Ying read the transaction... he was excited!

Because compared with the Suns lineup at the same time in history, this is much stronger!

If he and Jason Richardson were roughly equal.

Then this wave is equivalent to Dragic, Barbosa and Earl Clark being replaced by Holiday, Tony Allen and Quentin Richardson!

The Suns originally had enough offense but insufficient defense. This time, the defense went up a level!

As for Quentin Richardson, in this year in history, the Heat hit the highest three-point shooting percentage of his career!

Not long after chatting with Dean Walken, Cole called:

"You missed one bus, but caught the next one. Lin, we have been waiting for you for a long time."
