This Forward is Not Serious

LaVine?

Lin Ying was also shocked when he saw the news.

But what shocked him was not the subject of the transaction, because he knew that Love was sent to the Cavaliers by the Timberwolves in this year in history.

It’s just that the subject of the transaction at that time was Wiggins, and now it is Harden.

Harden's trade value is higher than Wiggins, because no matter how you brag, Wiggins is always a lottery ticket.

But Harden is already an All-Star who has helped the team reach third place in the Eastern Conference. He is also a rare ball-handling core, and he is still improving.

And this is not the end of the world line.

Because there are only a few top insiders in the league, and if you want to find a space insider suitable for James, there will only be a handful of them.

Bosh doesn't want to follow James to Cleveland. Among the remaining players, Davis, Aldridge and Love are the only ones in their playing years.

Although Davis has not played well now, in the eyes of the American media, he is a once-in-50-year basketball genius, and it is simply impossible for the Pelicans to trade him.

Aldridge's contract expires this season, and he has a good relationship with the Trail Blazers. In addition, the Trail Blazers already have Lillard, so they will not take the initiative to replace Harden.

So among the remaining players, Love is basically the only choice.

Although Love's average of 20+10 per game looks good, the Timberwolves have been at the bottom of the Western Conference for consecutive years. He is a data brush in the eyes of many people.

The Timberwolves can use him in exchange for a ball-carrying core to rebuild. This quick method will only be more attractive than the lottery lottery in history. .

What shocked Lin Ying was Raven.

LaVine is the kind of person who can run, jump, and develop shooting in the future. He is called "Chicago Curry."

The Cavaliers are in trouble.

No, this should be the effect in the eyes of Lin Ying, a person with open eyes.

Because from a trading perspective, there's nothing wrong with that.

There is a trade gap between Harden and Love, and the gap between the Cavaliers' unprotected first-round pick and a fringe lottery pick can almost be made up.

If LaVine is replaced by Dario Saric, the 12th pick this year, or TJ Warren, the 14th pick, this transaction will not shock Lin Ying.

After all, Lin Ying was the only one who had opened his eyes. In the eyes of others, there was not much difference between Lavin and the other two.

So now that LaVine has gone to the Cavaliers, does he have a chance to grow?

This is a very interesting thing.

Theoretically, the Cavaliers are not rich in role players, and LaVine's main competitor in the future is Shumpert.

Comparing it to his history of starting from the bench with the Timberwolves, this is not hell.

And there is no certainty about LaVine's upper limit.

Lin Ying originally thought that James would not have any second or third decisions after arriving in the Knicks, but reality gave him a hard slap in the face.

It can only be said that as an opponent, he still doesn't understand James well enough.

So if there is really still a decision three, then once James leaves, LaVine's day will come.

Even if James doesn't leave, this Cavaliers team will be much stronger than at the same time in history.

Irving, Shumpert, James, Josh Smith, and Love, plus Dellavedova, LaVine, and Tristan Thompson on the bench, only need to strengthen the role players, and they are very competitive.

And Josh's assist defense is excellent. He can sweep up on the defensive end and help Love pick and roll, and the lineup is also very reasonable.

Even in terms of salary, which is the most worrying thing, this lineup is only about 80 million now. Even if the tax exceeds next season, it will not be punished by the super luxury tax because they have not exceeded the tax in the past two years.

And the most critical point is that everyone knows that the salary cap will increase significantly in 2016 due to the new broadcast contract.

This is why James signed a two-year contract instead of a long-term contract.

As long as they survive one season, their salary space will become very healthy by the 2016-2017 season.

So if you analyze it carefully, you will find that David Griffin's operation is quite planned.

The Cavaliers will also quickly replace the Knicks in the new season and become the strongest player in the Eastern Conference.

Social media has become extremely lively for a while.

"Harden is the worst player of the century. He was traded to the Thunder for 2 million, and now he is traded again because James wants to 'go home'. From Oklahoma to Oklahoma City, and now to the ice and snow of Minnesota!"

"Ahem, the worst basketball player, the best bargaining chip."

"The Wolves are ecstatic. Kevin Love can't lead the team further, but James Harden makes people look forward to it. It's time for us to shout, 'We are coming to the playoffs'!"

"I said before that James would definitely be traded to the Cavaliers for Harden, but I didn't expect that Love would be traded, and James would directly sign without permission. Now the Cavaliers have a standard four-star, and their strength is not much worse than that of the Knicks!"

"I'm also optimistic about the Cavaliers. I see a lot of changes in the team, but James is an upgraded version of Harden, and Love is an upgraded version of Hawes. Last season's lineup was already third in the Eastern Conference, and it will only be higher this season. .”

"This year, the Western Conference has four teams: the Lakers, Thunder, Spurs and Mavericks. But I don't think any of them can win the Cavaliers for sure. The Nets are not strong this season either. It's time for Cleveland to have a championship!"

"So you guys are just trolling. LeBron obviously waited for a trade before making a decision. If the Cavaliers couldn't trade a good lineup, why did he leave the Knicks?"

"That is, people can't have their own opinions anymore. Don't you think of yourself first when you face choices in life?"

"LeBron is not wrong. His fault is that he is too strong. If he is not strong enough, the Knicks can simply not sign him if there is no progress in the contract extension!"

…

Lin Ying returned to Brooklyn after hearing Jordan's story.

During his time away, the Nets also signed the team's 15th man, Brandon Rush.

The two parties signed a two-year basic salary contract with a player option in the second year.

This can be regarded as the better player that the Nets can sign at this stage.

Speaking of which, Rush and Lin Ying had a close relationship in NCAA.

When he started his college career, their senior Randy Williams focused on Rush when introducing their main rival, the University of Kansas.

Rush withdrew from the draft due to a torn right anterior cruciate ligament and did not play in the NCAA regular season.

Then in the Big12 finals, the University of Texas lost to the University of Kansas because of Rush's return.

Coupled with the subsequent encounters with the "Crazy Three", Rush can be regarded as one of his main opponents in college.

In fact, Rush performed very well after entering the NBA. Unfortunately, he was ill-fated and suffered a torn cruciate ligament in his left knee in 2012.

This time the injury was more serious than before. He lost his athleticism and defensive ability, and also changed from an excellent 3D to a shooter with some reliability.

But even so, his three-pointers may still be useful as a bench player.

After returning to Brooklyn, Lin Ying held a personal training camp as before.

He asked Su Feng to contact the people he felt needed to be contacted.

Within two days, his training camp was already full.

Most of them are familiar faces, and some of them quit halfway because they couldn't hold on.

But obviously, after a year passed, they felt that their strength had become stronger, and they wanted to try again.

Of course, there are also some new faces this year, such as Bradley and Jokic, newly signed by the Nets in the summer.

Jokic said he wants to lose weight, and there is nothing more suitable for him than this training camp.

What Lin Ying never expected was that on the first day of the training camp, he saw a unique involution.

For example, after he trained, Jokic would be the first to hand him a towel, while Bradley would unscrew the cap of the water bottle and hand it to him before he sat down.

Co-authored the two most important signings of the Nets in the summer, recruiting two die-hard younger brothers for him?

Or the kind of fanboy?

Although this is understandable.

Needless to say, Jokic was certified during the draft.

As for Bradley, he only entered the University of Texas in 2009.

Lin Ying and Durant have become school legends since they helped the University of Texas win the championship.

Moreover, when Bradley graduated, Lin Yingdu had already helped the Suns win the first championship in team history and was also elected to FMVP.

It’s hard for a senior like this not to become an idol!

"Actually, you can be more casual."

Lin Ying didn't get used to it for a while.

If I really want to talk about my younger brother, he had Holiday when he was in the Suns, and he also had Butler in the Nets.

But these people were relatively peaceful when getting along with him, unlike these two, who were just like believers.

Bradley nodded, took Lin Ying's water bottle, screwed the cap back on, and then gently set it aside.

Jokic took away the towel Lin Ying used to wipe his sweat and handed him a clean one.

"..."

Lin Ying also went with them.

"Nicholas."

Lin Ying called Jokic.

"I am here."

Jokic immediately looked at Lin Ying with concentration.

"When I was in college, I had a teammate named Pittman. His weight was much more exaggerated than yours at the time, but he successfully lost 100 pounds. I gave you his contact information. You tell him that I gave it to him, and he should I can help you.”

Jokic ran to get his phone, which he put in the locker room.

"Avery, your passing selection is a problem. You have a lot of moves. You can use your moves to observe the defense. The details in this..."

Lin Ying and Bradley talked about some details of passing.

He did this not because of the behavior of the two of them, but because the Nets are old, disabled, and young this season, and they really need to do more.

Maybe the Nets are no longer the most popular team this season, but he still doesn't want to give up as before.

After Jokic returned, Lin Ying gave him Pittman's number and reminded him of the training load issue.

Along the way, Lin Ying's strongest point was not how talented he was, but that he was diligent enough and absorbed a lot of experience from other people.

The first day of training ended and everyone else left the gym one after another.

Despite being mentally prepared, most people still feel exhausted by this purgatory training.

Of course, this is already normal for Lin Ying.

After everyone else left, he took a short break and then practiced another round.

Warken Dean gave him so many vaccinations that he was ready to be beaten severely in the new season.

And his mentality has been adjusted. At worst, it will impact Kobe's average of 35 points per game.

Anyway, the score of 81 has already been broken, it just broke a little more cleanly.

But after he had been practicing for a while, he saw a ball of "pork belly" appearing at the door of the training hall.

That guy Jokic is back again for some reason.

Lin Ying thought at first that he had left something behind, but to his surprise, this guy ran over to pick up the ball for him...

Is this because I remember that I haven’t left yet and may be short of a caddy?

Lin Ying knew that it was useless, so he simply let him be a caddy.

Anyway, running around is just like helping Jokic lose weight.

After one round of practice, Jokic came to the sidelines early and handed over water with a towel.

"Do you want me to pay you?"

Lin Ying couldn't help but joked.

"No, no, I'm very excited that you can let me come to this training camp."

Jokic's words are true, he is just a rookie at the end of the first round.

Lin Ying also opened his eyes, otherwise he wouldn't have been called.

"If I said you were going to be a superstar in this league one day, would you believe it?"

Lin Ying asked with a smile.

"I never thought about it before, but if you say it, I believe it."

"I'm not God."

Lin Ying said.

"But you are LinK!"

Jokic immediately retorted.

"..."

For the first time, Lin Ying discovered that being regarded as an idol was not that easy.

"I'm curious, how did you get so big in Europe?"

Lin Ying changed the topic.

"Maybe, maybe, maybe it's because I like to drink Coke?"

Jokic was a little embarrassed when he said this.

"I like to drink Coke too."

Lin Ying felt that this was nothing. Professional players were not robots and they only needed to control the amount.

"I drank a gallon a day when I was in Europe."

Jokic said, scratching his head.

"Only 1...gallon?!"

Lin Ying looked at Jokic with wide eyes.

The word "gallon" should be familiar to fans, because James once did a gallon challenge, which was to drink 1 gallon of water every day.

1 gallon is 3.78 liters.

For water, it is about seven or eight pounds. For cola, it is seven or eight pounds of water with a corresponding amount of cola powder added.

This is no longer as good as drinking Coke as water.

Lin Ying looked at Jokic again, and he felt that Jokic's current body shape was maintained well.

"So you're still drinking?"

he asked next.

"No, I had my last drink on the plane to Brooklyn."

Hearing what Jokic said, Lin Ying was stunned for a moment, and then couldn't help laughing.

It's obviously just a matter of drinking a Coke, but why does it sound so sad?

However, Lin Ying feels that if Jokic's weight problem is mainly due to coke, then it will be much easier for him to control his weight in one summer than imagined.

Perhaps Jokic can bring some help to the team without the long training period in history.

"Do you want to practice three-point shooting?"

Thinking of this, Lin Ying asked with great interest.

Thanks to Geomatic, Fei Fei Wo Fei Fei, and Hanhan who love Hanhan for the reward!
