NBA: Unlock the Eye of the Emperor at the beginning

There is a reversal in Chapter 53. Lin Yan’s final destination is... (Please subscribe!)

The trade between the Celtics and the Bucks directly opened the door to trade.

Shortly after the draft ended, the second trade involving rookies took place.

The Los Angeles Lakers traded star center Divac for Kobe Bryant, the 13th overall pick of the New Orleans Hornets in the first round!

As soon as the leader in red took action, the man with the logo followed closely behind.

The two wealthy families obviously do not want to remain silent any longer. but.

It is different from the public opinion between the Celtics and Bucks.

Everyone is not optimistic about the deal between the Lakers and the Hornets.

Think Jerry West is ruining the Lakers' future.

You must know that Divac has performed very steadily in recent seasons.

Has grown into the team's inside pillar.

Although he can't compare with the four major centers, he can definitely support a qualified center.

For the Lakers right now.

The most important thing to solve is signings and transactions.

If they can get a super perimeter player, the Lakers will definitely have a chance to rise in a short time.

What's surprising is that.

West actually sent away Divac, the star center that the team had finally cultivated.

What he got in exchange was a high school player with an uncertain future.

Although Kobe's father, Joe Bryant, was also an NBA player before.

But his fame and ability are not outstanding.

According to inference, the probability that Kobe can play is not very high.

Use an inside lineman who has already performed well to replace an outside lineman with an uncertain future.

This is obviously a losing business!

West is very open to the denials and doubts from the outside world.

His goal from the beginning was Lin Yan and Kobe!

Lin Yan is better than Lin Yan, but Kobe is better without Lin Yan!

Now Lin Yan has been acquired by the 76ers, who are unwilling to trade with the Lakers.

Then West's primary target is obviously Kobe!

He was also unsure of what the young man's future achievements would be.

But judging from the information he obtained, this guy is very competitive.

This is very similar to Michael Jordan.

When he challenged Lin Yan, he was actively training both before and after the challenge.

Especially after a challenge.

The training intensity has doubled!

It's not scary for a person to be defeated. What's scary is that he doesn't have the courage to start over.

Kobe clearly does not belong to this category.

He doesn't know where Kobe's upper limit is, but what is certain is that his lower limit will never be too low!

………………

The leader in red and the logo man took action one after another, raising everyone's expectations for this year's draft trade.

Now.

More and more people feel that the Raptors' selection of Allen Iverson with the second pick was not for themselves.

They probably have other transactions!

Just when everyone was speculating about possible transactions in the future, a piece of news about a three-party transaction that shocked everyone was announced!

This deal.

Involving the Philadelphia 76ers, Toronto Raptors and Minnesota Timberwolves!

The Philadelphia 76ers sent away top pick Lin Yan, Greg Grant, and Tim Perry!

Received: Allen Iverson, Terry Porter, Doug West, Oliver Miller, Timberwolves' 1998 second-round pick!

Toronto Raptors send: Allen Iverson, Oliver Miller, Herm Williams!

Received: Marcus Camby, Timberwolves' 1997 first-round pick, Timberwolves' 2000 second-round pick!

The Minnesota Timberwolves sent: Marcus Camby, Terry Porter, Doc Rivers, 1997 first-round pick, 1998 second-round pick, and 2000 second-round pick.

Get: Lin Yan, Greg Grant, Tim Perry, Herm Williams!

When this three-party deal was announced, the entire American sports world was shocked.

The Philadelphia 76ers and Toronto Raptors are making money!

This was everyone's first thought after seeing this deal.

Take a look at this transaction.

The Timberwolves only got one promising rookie, Lin Yan, and the remaining three had junk contracts from both teams.

Lin Yan's abilities were fully demonstrated in the NCAA competition.

But acquiring him at such a high price does not seem to be a wise choice for the Timberwolves!

Everyone's first feeling at this moment was: The Timberwolves were fooled by the other two teams!

The Philadelphia 76ers' top target is Allen Iverson.

From the beginning, they had their sights set on the answer.

Although on the stage of the NCAA finals, Georgetown University led by Iverson lost to Wake Forest University led by Lin Yan.

But in that game.

Iverson's performance is definitely not bad.

Especially his 22 points in the first half showed everyone his explosive scoring power!

The most essential aspect of basketball is scoring!

Coupled with the gap between the NCAA and NBA.

Let the Phillies believe that choosing Iverson is more secure than choosing Lin Yan.

The identity of the Chinese people still made them a little worried about Lin Yan's future development.

Originally, they planned to select Allen Iverson directly with the first pick.

But at this time.

The Minnesota Timberwolves came to them.

The Timberwolves hope that the 76ers can select Lin Yan with the first pick in the first round. They have persuaded the second-ranked Raptors to choose Iverson.

At that time, transactions can be made between the three parties.

The Philadelphians have no reason to refuse the Timberwolves' conditions.

Not only were they guaranteed to get Allen Iverson, but they were also able to give away two junk contracts.

Greg Grant, who averaged 2.2 points per game, and Tim Perry, who averaged 0.8 points per game.

While disposing of these two garbage contracts, they can also get very good strength supplements from the Timberwolves and Raptors.

Terry Porter, Doug West, and Oliver Miller are all very capable.

As the backbone of the team, it is definitely more than enough.

Coupled with a second-round pick, the Philadelphia 76ers, who are rebuilding, have no reason to refuse. finally.

76ers general manager Brad Greenberg readily agreed to the deal.

He is a bastard if he doesn't make a profit if he is cheap!

The Toronto Raptors' goal in this draft is very clear, which is the inside, Marcus Camby!

As a new force that has just joined the alliance, it is obviously unrealistic to achieve results in a short period of time.

Seeking draft picks and bringing in more rookie players is definitely the primary goal.

When Timberwolves general manager Kevin McHale approached them, they were indeed interested, but they didn't rush to agree.

The reason is simple.

Their only target is Marcus Camby.

But if they don't take Camby at the No. 2 spot, the Grizzlies, who have the third overall pick, obviously won't give up on Camby.

In this way, even if they can get two draft picks, it is still contrary to their ultimate idea.

Faced with this situation, McHale responded firmly.

He would convince the Grizzlies not to draft Marcus Camby.

And they made it clear that if Camby is finally signed by the Grizzlies, they are willing to send Kevin Garnett as compensation!

With such a guarantee.

The Raptors eventually agreed to the Timberwolves' trade request.

Under the condition that Camby can be guaranteed, two additional draft picks and a garbage contract will be disposed of.

The Timberwolves also have no reason to refuse!

These two teams are definitely the biggest beneficiaries from the current transaction. (If you want to read exciting novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

On the other hand, the Minnesota Timberwolves have become a real victim.

For that matter.

McHale had ideas of his own.

He had been paying attention to Lin Yan from the beginning.

After the team acquired Garnett, the next signing target will definitely be mainly outside.

Allen Iverson, Steve Marbury and Lin Yan are the three best point guards in the current draft.

Iverson's ability is very good, but his ability to connect the team is still a bit unsatisfactory.

Not to mention Marbury.

The title of Lone Wolf speaks for itself.

Only Lin Yan.

Did everything a point guard can do.

Comparing the Demon Deacons without Lin Yan and after Lin Yan appeared, they are definitely two completely different teams.

McHale admires this kind of field control ability.

The more important point is.

Lin Yan's personal ability is no worse than the other two.

Judging from their head-to-head confrontations, Lin Yan has always been the one with the upper hand.

Probably the only uncertainty.

This is Lin Yan’s Chinese identity.

After all, there have never been Chinese players in the NBA in the past.

No one is sure whether Chinese players can adapt to the intensity of NBA games and whether their bodies can survive injuries.

But the draft itself is a gamble.

What matters is vision and courage.

If everything was foolproof, there wouldn't be so many teams with poor results!

Not long after this transaction ended, Kevin McHale led another transaction.

A three-way trade was completed between the Minnesota Timberwolves, Vancouver Grizzlies and Dallas Mavericks.

The Timberwolves sent Darrick Martin.

Received: Randy Woods

The Mavericks sent: Randy Woods, a 1997 second-round pick.

Get: Darrick Martin.

Grizzlies: No.

Received: 1997 second-round draft pick. in this three-party transaction.

Again, the Timberwolves definitely suffered.

Not only did they send out substitute player Darrick Martin who performed very well.

At the same time, he also accepted the garbage contract of Randy Woods from the Mavericks.

Although the Mavericks sent away a draft pick, they also got Darrick Martin while disposing of Randy Woods' junk contract.

This is obviously a very good deal.

While they have replenished their combat strength, they also have room to recruit again. certainly.

To say that the most profitable part of this transaction is the Grizzlies.

They got a second-round pick for nothing without paying any price!

This draft pick is the key to Kevin McHale convincing the Vancouver Grizzlies.

The Grizzlies are also targeting the paint.

And also eager to get Marcus Camby.

However, after McHale's lobbying, they also believed that Raheem was a good choice.

In addition to providing him with a draft pick, they finally agreed to McHale's conditions!

In this year's free market, the Timberwolves have become the most active team.

It's just that they paid so much, but only for one Lin Yan, which can't help but make everyone question McHale's ability.

Jerry West also shook his head helplessly after seeing the price the Timberwolves paid to acquire Lin Yan.

The Timberwolves paid too much.

This is obviously a deal where the rewards are not proportional to the payout.

He is very optimistic about Lin Yan, but if he is asked to trade half of the team, he will definitely not be willing to do so.

Don't look at the very good conditions he gave before the draft.

But if it really comes to this point, he will definitely have to consider many aspects.

Auerbach also didn't expect that his disciple would be so courageous.

But he was also a little dissatisfied with McHale's operation.

If it was a trade like his that only paid one draft pick, the deal would be excusable.

The Timberwolves directly hooked up with half the team and got a lot of junk contracts.

This deal is simply terrible!

According to his analysis.

McHale can completely skip the 76ers, let them choose Lin Yan, and trade directly with the Toronto Raptors.

This obviously pays less!

However, the red-clothed leader at this meeting was able to stand and talk without pain in his back.

After all, if Lin Yan was selected with the second overall pick, then the Timberwolves would not be the only team that wants to trade with the Raptors!

The most significant rookie trade this year is the Timberwolves signing Lin Yan.

Now.

The attention of many media has been placed on Lin Yan.

Everyone is looking forward to his performance after joining the Timberwolves.

It was Kevin McHale who was so drunk that I woke up alone and won the superstar title!

It's still a blind comparison to win the worst contract. Lin Yan's performance in the new season has become the best answer.

Not long after Lin Yan was traded to the Timberwolves, many teams exploded.

The first to break the news was the Suns, where Charles Barkley is located.

Barkley made it clear that if the Suns get an excellent point guard, he will stay. If he doesn't get it, he will leave!

Currently, the Suns only have Steve Nash!

Seeing Nash's thin appearance, Buckley decisively chose to leave.

Although it has not been officially announced yet, judging from various rumors, his departure is already a certainty.

As for where he will end up, there are different opinions.

Some people think that he will go to the Rockets and form the elderly Big Three with Olajuwon and Drexler.

Some people also think that he will go to New York and join forces with Ewing to create New York glory.

……………

Not long after Barkley announced his departure from the team, it was also revealed that Patrick Ewing was dissatisfied with the management's inaction.

Judging from the latest news, Ewing has given the Knicks an ultimatum.

If the team cannot welcome signings, he will most likely apply for a trade.

With Michael Jordan's efforts and another championship.

The pressure on all superstars has increased.

Everyone knows in their hearts that if they want to win the championship over Michael Jordan, they must have a strong enough lineup.

It is foreseeable that in the next offseason, there will be no shortage of transactions among teams in the league!.
