Chapter 414 New deal, new way!
LeBron James smiled awkwardly and politely...
After the All-Star Game, all teams aiming for the championship have entered the sprint stage of the playoff rankings!
Before that, the thing that can shake the situation of this year's playoffs most is naturally the trade deadline!
This year's trade deadline is a big day for Billy King!
For the 76ers this year, there is naturally no other way to go except for the championship, but if the goal is to compete for the championship, this year is much more dangerous than the past two years!
In the first two consecutive championships, the more critical stages of the game are reached, the more veterans eager to win the championship will stand up!
Like Stockton, Karl Malone has contributed indelibly in the past two consecutive championships, but this year, the 76ers can't find such a person!
Of course, in the summer of last year, there were still many veterans who wanted to compete for the championship and were willing to join the 76ers with a basic salary, but the embarrassing thing is that these meritorious veterans have played in the NBA for too long, even if they only get a basic salary. The salary of this basic salary has exceeded the salary of rookies in the second half of the first round!
Although they are worth the price, the 76ers who already have to pay the luxury tax have to plan carefully!
The team is composed of young people and stars who are in their prime. Such a composition is naturally very beneficial to the future of the team, but the premise of this advantage is not to talk about money!
In terms of money, such a configuration is embarrassing. In terms of money, this combination is obviously the most expensive!
This also led to Billy King's more careful selection. This lineup is fine in terms of immediate combat power and potential, but there is really no way to distribute part of the money to the veterans!
Then the problem came, when Allen Iverson was absent due to injury, the flaws of the lineup began to be infinitely magnified!
If you want to make it to the championship this year's playoffs, the position of point guard must be strengthened!
Chris Paul's growth is still in line with expectations. If he is in a bad team that does not pursue records, Chris Paul's blind point guard talent can completely lock in the position of a team's point guard for the next ten years!
But this is in the Philadelphia 76ers. Paul is good everywhere, but he still can't take on the heavy responsibility of the point guard of the winning team!
Billy King would not dare to bet on a young man who has never played in the playoffs on a two-peat champion team's chance to advance to the dynasty!
So the question is, why sell Andre Miller in the offseason?It can only be said that when a seemingly value-for-money deal was placed in front of him, all rationality disappeared. At that time, Billy King only had in his eyes: "This deal has made a profit, a big profit!"
Now dumbfounded, I can only find the next deal to make up for this problem!
Of course, if it is purely about trading, Billy King is neither short of bargaining chips nor short of means. The two consecutive championships have doubled the value of the players in the team. After all, the most important thing about a player is the quality of the season. The performance in the playoffs and even the finals, as long as there is performance on such an ultimate stage, all flaws will become advantages!
Any player who can enter the rotation in the finals, for those teams that can't make it to the playoffs but are aspiring to make the playoffs, and those teams that are already in the playoffs but can't make a name for themselves in the playoffs Every team has a fatal attraction.
Some teams are willing to pay a premium to trade with the Philadelphia 76ers!
But ... when it comes to trades, Billy King knows that if you want to make this trade, you can't do it quietly like you traded Andre Miller or Jamal Crawford before, In the end, whether it can be done or not, the harmony of the team must be the first priority!
Billy King invited Han Mo, Yao Ming, Iverson, and Wang Zhizhi to his home at the same time!
Billy King looked at the mainstay of the team and didn't go around in circles. He said bluntly, "Recently, I'm negotiating a deal with the Cleveland Cavaliers, which involves Wang Zhizhi. I want to hear everyone's opinions!"
"The conditions offered by Cleveland are hard to refuse. They are willing to offer their starting point guard Eric Snow, Anderson Varejao, next year's first and second round picks in exchange for Wang Zhizhi!"
"You should all know that now we have a lot of hidden dangers on the point guard line. Eric Snow is familiar to everyone and is our old friend. He is the best solution in these transactions in my hands! Moreover, the Cavaliers are very sincere. Although they have the all-star center Zajunas Ilgauskas in their formation, the Cavaliers said that if Wang Zhizhi goes to Cleveland, they are willing to establish him as the core of the team's interior !"
"Of course, Wang Zhizhi's contribution over the past few years is obvious to all, so if everyone disagrees with this deal, forget it!"
This scene...is a bit embarrassing!
Everyone was stunned and didn't know what to say!
What Billy King said was of course no problem. He laid out the current problems of the team openly, and his attitude was so sincere, which made people stand up!
Eric Snow was originally one of Allen Iverson's best friends in the NBA. As Iverson's guard with a knife on the court, he made outstanding contributions. His return, Iverson Sen naturally agrees with both hands, but it is different when Wang Zhizhi is involved.
Iverson does not have any deep friendship with Wang Zhizhi, but Iverson understands that Wang Zhizhi and Han Mo have been living together in the past few years, and the relationship is naturally extraordinary. When it comes to Han Mo, you can't be too careful , After all, he is the future of the team!
Han Mo naturally knew that the benefits of this deal outweighed the disadvantages for the team and for Wang Zhizhi. Wang Zhizhi's performance this season was not good, but the reason for the bad has nothing to do with Wang Zhizhi's state, but with the power forward position People get together.
Okur and Wang Zhizhi have the same position this season, and their positions basically overlap. The time that Wang Zhizhi once occupied as the team's big pitcher has been evenly divided with Okur this season. Although Wang Zhizhi is still the starter, he averaged Playing time has come below 25 minutes!
Because in terms of defense alone, the larger Okur is obviously more dominant!
And the three-point shooting that Wang Zhizhi is most proud of has been chased by Okur to seven or eight!
If he can go to Cleveland, then for Wang Zhizhi, there will obviously be a wider world of galloping!
Han Mo pondered for a moment, and said, "Of course, Da Zhi has to decide this matter himself!"
Wang Zhizhi hesitated for a while, his eyes were lost, and he was a little dazed. Leaving Philadelphia was a question he had never considered. Even if his average playing time was shortened by a full 6 minutes this season, he never left the team by half a point. idea.
But when this choice came before him, Wang Zhizhi thought for a moment, looked directly at Billy King, his eyes lit up, and nodded: "Okay, general manager, I am willing to go!"
