Chapter 636 The trading deadline is coming! 【Subscription】
In Philadelphia, after the All-Star Game, Larry Brown had a new plan for the future of the team. The first time he returned to Philadelphia, he found the general manager of the team and knocked on his office. door.
"Billy, I think we need some changes." Brown said straight to the point: "If we still want to focus on Allen and go further, we need to find some help."
"Going further?" Billy King, general manager of the 76ers, said with a wry smile: "Do you think it is possible for us to leap over the Celtics? I think you know more about their power than I do."
"I don't know. Brown still has nothing to hide. He shakes his head. "I don't know if we can kill the Bostonians, but I know very well that if we don't do anything, then we can't kill anyone! Nope. It's good to be eliminated in the first round this year! After all, it's too hard to rely on Allen alone! You can't expect him to be unstoppable in every game!
Billy King sighed, he knew that Larry Brown was right, although he felt that it would be difficult to beat the Celtics no matter how hard they were, but he only knew that if he did nothing, he might end up in the end. Even Iverson will want the ball to leave: "What type of player do you want, I'll find a way."
"It's not about finding a way, it's about getting it! And I'm not too demanding, I don't need any superstars to come here. I just need a guy like Ben Wallace!" Larry Brown tweeted Pushing his glasses, he said, "If it's Ben Wallace himself, that's the best! 99
"Larry, don't make it hard for me, don't you know what happened during the All-Star break?
Billy King shook his head and said, "Someone in Washington took a fancy to Ginobili, the rookie MVP, so they called to ask for the price, guess what? That old bastard from Auerbach went directly to a cleaner, 2 minutes of swearing on the phone!
"So, I don't want to call Auerbach, 2 minutes of swearing, I might be sent to the emergency room directly because of high blood pressure!""
"It's okay, I just need a player like this! Rebounding, defense, toughness, never admit defeat, and the ability to pass the ball after grabbing the rebound with one hand, I need such a person, Allen can definitely be with him The fit is perfect - perfect! 39
"But don't we have Ratliff? He's the league's shot-blocker, can't he meet your requirements for defense, toughness and rebounding?" Billy didn't understand.
"Billy, don't force me to scold you! Are you really not watching a game?" Larry Brown was dissatisfied: "Ratliff and the words defense, rebounding, toughness, and never admit defeat, It's not about half a dime! His block stats are probably more than the water in the Pacific! If possible, it's better to use Ratliff as the main chip to make substitutions! I don't have to adjust when the new guy arrives. Contradictions within the team!"
Billy King nodded, he understood what Brown meant, and began to try to trade.
In New York, the Knicks, who have sent away Ewing, Starks, Oakley and other meritorious deeds in the past two years, still have strong ambitions. Able to take over the Ewing mantle and help them regain their chances as a title contender.
It's just that their chips are really not enough to see, and they don't get any real opportunities to strengthen, but there are rumors that the former finals mvp, the boss of the bad boys in the league, the smiling assassin Isaiah Thomas came to New York , and Dolan met for several hours.
In Phoenix, Jason Kidd and Jason Kidd in the same year wanted to get a maximum salary in advance, but the team also refused. They hoped Kidd can play this season first, but obviously, Kidd has this and have no interest.
Many people have asserted that Kidd may soon usher in the next owner of his career.
In New Jersey, Stephen Marbury also encountered a similar problem, but he was not only dissatisfied with the management, but also the fans. The New Jersey fans gradually lost their hearts for this arrogant and arrogant guy. After so many years in New Jersey, Ma Brie didn't look for less trouble, and he didn't take less money for attacking, that is, the team's record hardly changed, and it was always tepid.
So far this year, the team has not even achieved a 50% win rate. There is a high probability that they will bid farewell to the playoffs this season and directly enter the lottery area. The fans' trust in Marbury has also reached a freezing point.
・・・ Flowers・
The high-spirited Marbury also felt tired of New Jersey, a place that was very close to New York but could not enjoy any New York lights. His fate with New Jersey was about to come to an end.
Of course, in addition to them, there are still many stars or teams who are dissatisfied with the current state and situation, and want to change it, but how many people can get their wish and how many people can complete the transaction before the trade deadline, that is another a problem.
After all, more people don't like to trade in the middle of the season, they prefer to exchange blood in the offseason, so that the team can have a full training camp and preseason to run in and try, so that there is a higher fault tolerance rate .
In the entire league, there were countless messages before the trade deadline, and for a while, it seemed that more than 3/1 of the players in the entire league were dissatisfied with the current situation and wanted to change their families!
However, the days when major reporters and media are scrambling to report and all kinds of rumors are flying in the sky will soon end. Once the trade deadline officially arrives, everything will return to calm again!
But this year, the entire league seems to be testing each other. For more than a week after the All-Star Game, no matter what the reporters shouted, all kinds of rumors were flying around, but the whole league was calm, and there was no movement. No, there is quite a bit of thunder and rain with little meaning.
And in these boring days, the fans were full of high expectations and all kinds of speculations and fantasies from the beginning, and gradually became no longer expecting, and their enthusiasm was quickly exhausted.
Some fans even feel that the existence of the Celtics has affected the healthy development and player flow of this league!
Because they are too powerful, the general managers of this league have lost their courage and ideas about strengthening the lineup to hit the championship!
At the same time, some people are scolding, the current alliance is too soft!
As if all the tough guys in the universe have gathered in the Celtics, the other 28 teams, from the management to the players, have all become soft eggs who dare not challenge!
And these people's carnival did not last for a few days, because on the day of the trade deadline, a few big deals suddenly broke out, making their reprimands into empty talk! Big.
