Build a Dream Dynasty

"Paul George, Best Newcomer"

"A Victory for Young People"

"From the fish belly before the season to the current youth guards, the four major changes of the Nets"

"No Anthony, No Problem"

No matter how well the Nets played in the previous game, it was only praised by several media giants and the local media in New Jersey. And in the TNT game, which was broadcast live in the United States, it played a high level, and newspapers, websites, and magazines all over the United States raised their evaluation of the Nets. This is the value of broadcasting.

When these manuscripts were reprinted by Chinese media and translated, the Nets' traffic was even higher. If there is a fly in the ointment, that is Yi Jianlian's performance in the team, which is a little tepid. Jeremy Lin has become famous, and Jiang Mingliang is still American after all.

According to statistics compiled by Qin Zhengwei's people, the Nets' traffic in China has reached the top five among NBA teams, second only to the Rockets, Lakers, Heat, and Spurs. A large part of this is due to Yi Jianlian's factors, but Jiang Mingliang, as a rich and handsome Chinese, has also brought attention to the team.

Some people are going well, and some people are not doing well. Magic general manager Rob Hennigan is the man staring at the biggest pressure right now. The formation of the Heat's Big Three, the old Celtics, and the continuous reinforcement of the defending champion Lakers have caused the Magic, which was originally thinking of using Howard's peak to impact the championship, to decline, and several failed transactions. Locking up the team's salary space has brought huge trouble to the team. The Lakers' total salary is approaching 86 million, and they have to pay less than 30 million in luxury tax, but they are in Los Angeles, with strong soldiers and championship hopes, and they will be fined. The Magic's total salary is also approaching 80 million, but unless a miracle occurs, there is really no chance of hitting the championship.

Lewis, Carter, and Bass are all on the team's tout list. Rob Hennigan needs to take the initiative and find someone to take over. And the first object he thought of was Jiang Mingliang, who held a lot of salary space. This is normal. The league has strict restrictions on the team's trading rules. When the total salary of both sides reaches the salary cap, the salary difference between the players involved in the trade cannot exceed 15%. As much baggage as the team sends away, it has to take back as much, and the effect of saving money will not be very good.

Jiang Mingliang did not choose to offer premium contracts to players after Boozer's no-show, but reserved all the salary space. First, he waited for the second half of the season to find a way to find out when powerful players were cut. Another idea was to wait. A team that can't afford the luxury tax comes to him to take over a junk contract and do some robbery by the way.

The Magic want to clean up the junk contracts in the team, well, simple, something has to be paid, right?

When Jiang Mingliang and Stevens combined, players in the Magic team, including Gortat, Bass, and Redek, may not be able to be used if they are placed in a suitable position. Their poor performance in the Magic is also partly related to coach Van Gundy's tactics and team boss Howard's tactical adaptability. But the Nets' lineup is thick enough, and these players don't help the team significantly.

"Although it's a bit early to talk about this, the team actually lacks playoff experience. The team also suffered from the lack of a veteran against the Rockets before. At that time, if there was a veteran, young players would know better. What to do." Stevens pointed.

"Carter's contract has less than a year left, but it's actually a positive asset. I don't think the Magic will pay any other assets to give away his contract." Well, Jiang Mingliang actually wants to win the Magic's first championship next year. Round picks, but it doesn't seem to be necessary to think about it.

"The premise is that Carter must accept the position of the sixth man when he comes to the team, otherwise I would rather not make this transaction." Stevens emphasized.

Korver's threat from beyond the three-point line is one of the prerequisites for the team's offensive tactics. At this stage, the team will not replace Carter because of him. Moreover, in terms of technical play, Carter plays the sixth man, which is more helpful to the offense from the bench.

"Of course, I have to communicate with his agent first."

The Nets trade Bobby Simmons for Vince Carter. This transaction can directly allow the Magic to reduce salary expenditures by 9 million and luxury tax by 9 million. Of course, Bobby Simmons, who has been completely abandoned by the Nets, has basically been scrapped, but the savings of the white flower can count as his own performance!

Jiang Mingliang didn't waste his time greedily, talking about draft rights. Sometimes there is a lot of trouble over the three walnuts and two dates, which is really unnecessary. Rob Hennigan is happy to accept the Nets' trade terms, but the next step is to look at Carter's opinion.

Mark Steinberg, Carter's agent since 2000, is responsible for all aspects of his business. After receiving the message from Rob Hennigan, he immediately informed Vince Carter.

Carter on the other end of the phone fell silent.

As a substitute? Outside of the All-Star Game, UU Kanshu www.uukanshu.com Carter has never been a substitute. Even on a superstar-studded dream team, Carter is a starter. Not to mention, at the age of 34, most of the All-Star players are still firmly occupying the main position. Why should he be a substitute?

"Vince, the Magic's salary pressure is very heavy, and a trade seems inevitable." Mark Steinberg reminded in a low voice.

With the MVP-level Howard by his side, the Magic can't be said to be completely uncompetitive, at least they are stronger than the Nets, there is no suspense. But a team that is willing to exchange a player with a low price-performance ratio for a completely scrapped Simmons is afraid that it will no longer have the will to compete for the championship. Another meaning of Mark Steinberg's words is that the Nets are at least willing to respect Carter, inform him of the decision in advance, and test his reaction. If you miss this opportunity, Magic's next trading partner may not give Carter such face.

"I need time to think about it," Carter said.

"I'll wait for your reply, but it's not too late." Mark Steinberg responded.

At this time, Jiang Mingliang also informed Bobby Simmons of the news.

This is also what Jiang Mingliang did very differently from general managers of other teams. He doesn't let players know they've been traded last, which he finds disrespectful.

For the trade decision proposed by the team, Simmons also expressed his understanding and acceptance. In fact, for a former 3-and-D player like him, there are far more opportunities with Howard than with the Nets. The Blue Net's requirements for the flanks are definitely higher than half of the teams.

The four parties involved in the transaction, three of which have reached an agreement, are waiting for Vince Carter's final decision.
