NBA Opening Draw To Twilight Shaquille O’Neal: Chapter 1180 Four parties cooperated, and the giant crocodile crossed the sky

Latest website: Wang Zelin did not notice Gerald Green's flaws at first. After all, for a role player, he usually looks at the opponent's advantages first and analyzes whether their advantages are suitable for his own team's system.

The Portland Trail Blazers have been the team with the highest defensive efficiency in the league in the past few years. The defensive system of the starting lineup is led by Wang Zelin, and the bench lineup is led by the one-outside and one-in combination of Beverley + Harrell. It's not a big deal for a forward player who doesn't defend well to be in trouble, as long as the positive effect he plays on the court outweighs the negative side effects on the defensive end.

The key is that the Trail Blazers only paid less than 3 million in the basic salary contract.

But the reason why he can only receive a basic salary is because the nine-finger dunk king does have a lot of shortcomings. The reason why some bad teams want to sign him is probably to use his dunks to improve the viewing experience of the game and facilitate ticket sales. That’s all.

As long as the team is slightly stronger, for example, if it has the desire to compete in the playoffs, it will not choose to keep him.

And most strong teams are not interested in this player whose functionality is extreme but whose shortcomings are equally extreme.

But for the Trail Blazers, even if Batum has left the team, he will only be the third small forward or third shooting guard next season. He will not be able to shoulder the responsibility of the forward and defensive line in the rotation. flag.

In the new season, the Trail Blazers management plans to let Connet Lee play the starting small forward. Dillon Brooks, the rookie selected by the team this year, will assume the role that Conette Lee previously played in the rotation.

As for Gerald Green?

There is no way, this is the background of the defending champion, he can only be the third choice!

However, considering that many teams have recently accepted Barton, and Barton himself seems to have certain ideas, the Blazers still have to find a reliable swingman.

Wang Zelin and his teammates' journey to China has begun. After a wait-and-see period of more than ten days, the free market has also begun to enter a heated stage in mid-to-late July.

That is, a big fish or a big deal finally surfaces!

The first is the big four-party linkage trade between the Pacers, Thunder, Heat, and Kings!

In this deal, the players that fans are most concerned about are Pacers star Paul George, Kings young star Andrew Wiggins, Heat's Hassan Whiteside and Thunder's Victor ·Oladipo’s ownership.

In the end, both George and Oladipo were traded to the Heat. Heat general manager Parker Riley made another stroke of genius in this operation. The Heat only fell silent for one season and quickly found the core of the team to complete their recovery.

The price paid by the Heat was first-round draft picks from 2018 to 2020, as well as the team's inside core Hassan Whiteside.

As for the Thunder, they got the Kings' super genius Andrew Wiggins in this deal. The bargain they paid was so cheap that it makes people question the brains of the Kings management. They only used Enes Kanter and Andre Wiggins. Robertson, plus an unprotected first-round pick in the next two years and two second-round picks in 2018, brought Wiggins, a talented small forward who averaged 25+ points per game last season.

The unfavorable operation of the Kings management once again attracted complaints from basketball fans around the world.

But considering that they once defeated Tyreke Evans, a talented guard who averaged 20+5+5 per game in his rookie year, I can only say that this is difficult to comment!

Although they also received two second-round picks from the Heat from this deal, in addition, according to rumors, the Kings management plans to build the team next season around Lonzo Ball, the No. 1 pick selected this year. , began to build a new lineup for the ship... Regarding this, everyone had no choice but to shake their heads and sigh:

The magical brain circuit of the Kings management is indeed the same!

In addition, the Thunder also received Whiteside from the Heat, plus Westbrook and the upcoming Wiggins, the Thunder seems to have formed a Big Three team next season.

Finally, there is the Pacers. After sending out the team's previous leader Paul George, the Pacers have basically established that they are going to start a reconstruction plan.

Most of what the Pacers management secured in this deal were future draft picks and young rookie potential, including the Heat's 2015 first-round pick Justise Winslow and first-round picks for the next two years. And a second-round pick, the Thunder's first-round pick this year Terrence Freyson and a second-round pick in 2018.

To sum up, the Heat and Thunder are undoubtedly the most profitable in this deal. The former quickly completed its reconstruction, and the latter's strength has been enhanced. The competitiveness of both teams in their respective divisions next season has been greatly enhanced.

Next is the Pacers. When Paul George wanted to leave the team, the Pacers management decisively recognized the reality and used George as an important bargaining chip to recruit three teams to join this four-party trade. And get the young potential stocks and future draft picks you want.

The Pacers' reconstruction plan has taken a solid first step!

Considering that the other players in the Pacers team are either average in strength or have mediocre talents, the management will most likely sell all their immediate capabilities in exchange for more draft picks.

Finally, there is the Kings. If I have to describe their operation in this transaction, it is - a big philanthropist!

In this regard, not only fans of other teams made crazy complaints on the Internet, but even local fans in Sacramento expressed their tiredness.

Also, with such a management team, it’s hard not to feel tired.

Now Kings fans can only pray silently in their hearts that Lonzo Ball, the No. 1 pick selected by the team management this year, can stand up in the new season and help the Kings rise again as soon as possible.

Wang Zelin, who was far away in Chongqing, was filled with surprise when he saw this four-way deal.

Not only was I surprised by the magical brain circuit of the Kings, but I was also surprised by the ability shown by Heat general manager Pat Riley in this transaction. He helped the Heat get George and Oladipo in a multi-party game, making the Heat The team instantly returned to the Eastern Conference playoff ranks.

And the chips they paid were just a few draft picks and a big white edge.

Judging from the current reviews, Da Baibian is undoubtedly the first-tier center in the Eastern Conference, and his overall strength may be second only to Cousins ​​​​of the Cavaliers. The Heat's chips for this comeback are still a bit high.

However, Wang Zelin remembers it very clearly. Historically, Whiteside averaged 17+14 All-Star insider data per game in the 2016-17 season, and also contributed double-doubles in the following two seasons with the Heat, but he However, his influence on the court has declined year by year, becoming a negative player representative who "has empty data but is not good for the team".

The Heat selected Adebayor in this year's draft, and now trading Whiteside and starting to develop Adebayor a few seasons in advance is not necessarily a bad thing.

What's more, they also got George and Oladipo. George is a real All-Star player. If nothing happens next season, he will have a career year with explosive statistics, and his strength is very likely to become a superstar in one fell swoop.

The development trend of Ku Mamba is also very similar. Historically, after he was traded to the Pacers and established as the core of the team, his strength has improved by leaps and bounds. His average data per game has increased from 15.9 points, 4.3 rebounds, 2.6 assists, and 1.2 steals in the 16-17 season. , soaring to 23.1 points, 5.2 rebounds, 4.3 assists and 2.4 steals in the 2017-18 season.

In the 17-18 season, Oladipo was not only selected as an All-Star substitute, but also became the steal leader of the season, was named the most improved player of the season, and was finally selected to the All-NBA Third Team and the All-Defensive Team. For a while.

Hong Kong True, if it hadn't been for his premature demise due to injuries, Oladipo, who entered the field of All-Star guards in 2018, would definitely be among the ranks of active first-line guards in the future, second only to Curry and Curry. Harden and Lillard are three super first-line players.

After getting along with each other for the past few years, Wang Zelin can clearly feel that Oladipo's playing style and fierceness in training are very similar to another player in the league-now the Clippers' starting small forward Jimmy. Butler.

Butler started the second spring of his career after joining the Heat. No, to be precise, he achieved unprecedented brilliance in his career!

Considering that Oladipo and Butler's playing styles are very similar, and they are both very consistent with the Heat's team building philosophy, Oladipo's future career trajectory in Miami will most likely change differently than it did in the original time and space.

This is also the reason why Wang Zelin strongly suggested that Oladipo choose the Heat as his next team.

What can be confirmed so far is that with the arrival of George and Oladipo, coupled with the Heat's starting No. 1 Goran Dragic, the Heat will form a mini-Big Three combination next season. The fighting strength is enough to rank among the top ranks in the Eastern Conference, and it is very likely to become a dark pony team in the Eastern Conference.

Looking at the high-spirited George and Oladipo on the TV, and Pat Riley standing next to them like a godfather, Wang Zelin couldn't help but sigh:

Sure enough, **** is still spicy!

Then he turned his attention to the other three parties to the deal.

The Pacers are the only Eastern Conference team in this deal and have nothing to do with the Trail Blazers. Wang Zelin and the Trail Blazers didn't take them to heart a few years ago when they were the most promising team to break out of the Eastern Conference, let alone now. Everyone has entered a period of reconstruction.

The Kings' operation is to send Brother Zui away and build the team around the big ball... To borrow the words of Mr. Spicy Eagle:

This is hard to comment on, I wish them success!

On the contrary, the Thunder's operation is eye-catching.

The detonator is still operational, and it actually brought in Brother Zui and Dabai Bian. Does this count as replacing George and Anthony?

One thing to say is that the mouth brother in this time and space is completely different from the Wolf Mamba in history. He has been in the Kings for two years as if he had been given a shot of chicken blood. He should be called the Red Bull Mamba.

Simply comparing overall strength, Wiggins is really not weaker than George at this stage.

It can only be said that the impact of the team environment on people's growth is really great!

In the original time and space, Wiggins was traded to the Huskers...the Timberwolves. That Timberwolves team was just a bad team. The young players inside mainly focused on one thing. You want to score, I want to assist, and he Want a rebound...

Playing in this negative atmosphere, no matter how talented you are, will be ruined!

But when he arrived with the Kings, Wiggins met his life mentor Rajon Rondo at the beginning of his career. Under the influence of Long's guidance, Wiggins is now like a future super star.

Next season, he will play under Detonator, who is particularly good at developing young players...

This is the time to take off!

Peak Westbrook + Wiggins who drank Red Bull + double-double machine Big White... Judging from the lineup alone, the Thunder will be a brand new team in the Western Conference next season.

I just don’t know if Mitchell can meet such a Thunder team in the first round of the playoffs, whether he can reach the peak of his debut and defeat his opponents!

Needless to say, historically, Mitchell's performance in his rookie year was like a superstar. After eliminating the Thunder in the first round of the playoffs, it was amazing and countless fans were mesmerized. .

Yes, Wang Zelin is one of the vast number of ordinary fans who were attracted by the performance of the rookie "Rice Ball King" in the first round of the 2018 Thunder and Jazz playoffs.

Therefore, he is increasingly looking forward to the performance of the Thunder and Jazz in the new season.

As for whether the new version of the Thunder's Big Three can threaten the Trail Blazers next season, Wang Zelin can only say, are you thinking too much?

They mind their own business. Even if Batum and Button choose to leave the team, Jokic and Aldridge will have to choose 1 from 2. Wang Zelin has never regarded the Thunder as a potential opponent on their way to defending the title.

It can only be said that he has more of a sense of novelty towards the new version of the Thunder's Big Three, and has never felt any crisis.

Finally, the time came to the end of July, and Wang Zelin's business activities finally came to an end, which meant that the Trail Blazers' trip to China was also over.

However, on the afternoon of the last day of July, NBA "Bai Xiaosheng" Wo Shen and ESPN officials suddenly released a piece of news one after another, and this news shocked the entire free agent market.

LeBron James, the star of the Cavaliers, the former No. 1 player on active duty, and the No. 1 small forward on active duty, has planned to leave the Cavaliers and is planning to implement Decision 3.0!

If the four-way linkage of the Pacers, Heat, Thunder, and Kings not long ago could be regarded as dropping a bomb on the trading market and completely igniting public opinion, then this sudden explosion news is like a nuclear bomb that has shocked the entire trading market. It exploded.

Since the King's Agreement came out, everyone is very clear that this summer's free trade market will be very lively, and big fish are destined to be rampant.

But when he reaches James' level, he can no longer be said to be a big fish, but a living giant crocodile.

With the emergence of this giant crocodile, the entire free market has been completely shaken up.

Leaving the Cavaliers?

Decision 3.0!

The emergence of this news made those fans who had previously shouted that James would stick to Cleveland next season until he win the city's first four major championships swollen in the face.

But then, UU Kanshu www.uukanshu.com Except for the Trail Blazers, the other 29 teams in the league joined the fierce battle for James' ownership.

Even the Warriors management team, which had just promised to keep Durant in the past two weeks, is now completely uneasy.

According to local media reports, the Warriors' general manager and coaching staff went to Cleveland overnight and have made contact with James' agency team.

Good guy, this is a bit of face, and it’s not going to be saved for our Du Xiaoshuai!

Not only that, the other 28 teams were not idle either, and more or less all of them sent representatives to Cleveland to meet with James' team.

So much so that even the management of the Pacers, Heat, Thunder, and Kings, who had just conducted a four-way trade, regretted that they chose to trade too early.

If they had known that James was leaving Cleveland, they should have waited a little longer. Now that it's fine, how can there be any regret medicine in the world?
