I am so Accurate

Chapter 344: Sun Hao Was Traded To...

"Don, where will I be traded?"

In the western restaurant, although old Nelson kept silent all the time, Sun Hao guessed it with his uncharacteristic behavior and the information he got from Fu Paulo before.

Old Nelson stared at Sun Hao in a daze for a while.

"Probably Los Angeles."

He finally nodded and said.

After he finished speaking, he picked up the wine glass in front of him and took a big sip.

He was already used to dark beer, but when he drank it, he suddenly discovered...that dark beer is so bitter.

"Is it because you didn't win the championship last season?"

Sun Hao laughed at himself.

"No, because Los Angeles offered Mark a bargaining chip he couldn't refuse."

Old Nelson spoke immediately.

Cuban used Nash's words similar to Sun Hao's to hear him.

You must know that the person who fought the most in the playoffs last season was Sun Hao!

"Shaq?"

"Kobe, and two first rounders."

After Sun Hao finished listening, his expression was extremely complicated.

The Lakers actually took out Kobe!

So, should he be sad for himself or happy about this deal?

"Washington, Michael is willing to trade you for T-mac and Richard."

Old Nelson then added.

"Looks like I'm worth a lot."

Sun Hao continued.

Kobe, Tracy McGrady, the two hottest swingmen at the moment, really don't have a better bargaining chip than this.

"But Mark doesn't seem to realize that."

Old Nelson sighed.

He doesn't know why Cuban has become so different from a year ago.

Is it because you already won the championship?

The killing of donkeys by ancient kings is not unique to China.

Or "A domestic flower is not as fragrant as a wild flower?"

For Cuban, who has been watching the game from the sidelines all year round, this is not impossible.

"I see."

Sun Hao nodded.

It seems that it still has something to do with not winning the championship last season.

If the Mavericks successfully defended their title last season, even if the Lakers take out Kobe, even if Cuban is tempted, the transaction will not happen.

After winning the championship, it is impossible for this kind of thing to happen at any time.

But the Mavericks failed to defend their title, and someone needs to admit responsibility for the failure, because it is necessary to give the fans an explanation and a new expectation.

Cuban can't seem to wait for Nelson Sr. to return.

And he could vaguely guess that Old Nelson's resignation had something to do with his being traded.

Old Nelson, who has been with him for so long, knows his character and temper very well.

He turned his head to look at the busy traffic outside the window.

When he first came to Dallas, it made him feel very uncomfortable.

If it weren't for Nowitzki, Nash, and old Nelson, he might have caused rich Paul to make a fuss like Fegan in history.

But after four years of living, he is already familiar with this city and regards it as his second hometown.

If he wants to leave now, he is really reluctant.

I can't bear this city, and I can't bear the people of this team.

I don't know how Dirk, who has returned to China to prepare for the Olympics at this time, will react after hearing the news that he has been traded?

There is also Bell who is training in the Evolution House, Dampier who is so stupid that he clamors that he is the second center in the league, and Annie, Nelson Jr.

besides……

Sun Hao turned his head back and looked at Old Nelson opposite him.

"Don, will you come with me to Los Angeles, or Washington?"

he asked next.

It's not bad for them to cooperate with each other as mentors and apprentices.

"Sun, I know what you think, but I'm really tired and need to rest."

Old Nelson said.

He is enjoying the current state. After so many years of high-intensity work, he does not want to lose the sense of relaxation so soon.

"Yes, it is time to rest more."

Sun Hao nodded with a smile.

The old Nelson in history also rested for more than a year after resigning from the Mavericks.

People are like this, when they struggle, they want to rest, and after the rest, they want to fight again.

Then, it's time to say goodbye to this city and its people.

...

After Nelson Jr. communicated with other teams, Cuban also quickly screened.

Basically, it's one of three options.

Lakers, Wizards and Suns.

The reason why there are Suns is because the Suns are more ruthless than the Lakers and Wizards, no one is not for sale, the whole team is up to you.

Of course, Marion and Stoudemire can only choose one.

Cuban struggled for a while, and finally determined the transaction partner.

lakers.

Trading Kobe is not only his personal preference, but also the only transaction that can be explained to fans.

"Jim, let's get started."

Cuban called Buss Jr.

The work after that is between Nelson Jr. and Kupchak.

...

"We made it!"

After hanging up the phone, Little Buss couldn't contain his excitement.

The old Buss had a special liking for Kobe, but the younger Buss actually liked Sun Hao very much.

To talk about the beginning of all this, it has to be traced back to the Indianapolis World Championships two years ago, when the Chinese team defeated the American team.

At that time, most fans paid attention to Jordan and Stern who were present, and few people noticed that he was also present.

He, who was regarded as a person who was too bored to watch the game, had an extremely deep memory of Sun Hao.

In fact, since then, he has liked Sun Hao, a guard with a peculiar style of play.

As Sun Hao continued to perform, his liking became stronger and stronger.

This is also a key reason why West said that after replacing Sun Hao, he will be so devoted.

And Kobe's character is that he really doesn't like it. On the contrary, Sun Hao has always had a good image.

He believes that the Lakers will be better next season!

Now, it depends on Kupchak's ability and how he can maximize the team's interests in the transaction.

Before he agreed to Cuban's conditions just to get Cuban to take the bait, now that Cuban has taken the bait, it is not the final transaction proposal.

After he told Kupchak, he got up and left the manor, and then drove to the Staples Center.

It's done here, he has to go and fix Kobe.

...

Kobe, training at the Staples Center.

Although he is meeting with various teams now, many people know that he is putting pressure on the Lakers to force the management to trade O'Neal away.

I was about to divorce the two couples, and not many people would say that I took the initiative to leave the house.

So he still treats himself as a "Laker" and still trains in the arena he is familiar with.

Little Buss didn't even need to call, just find one right away.

Bryant soon discovered the little Buss.

He smiled, what should come is still here.

It seems that Shaq guy should have to get out of the Lakers.

Little Buss went up to say hello and chatted with Kobe with a smile.

He just chatted at first, and didn't mention the transaction.

"Kobe, do you want to play with Dirk?"

When the conversation was almost over, Little Bass suddenly asked.

"Dirk?"

The look in Kobe's eyes after listening was... unbelievable!

Little Buss actually got Nowitzki here!

This is amazing!

Nowitzki was the MVP of last season!

And only like him, both are 26 years old!

Two superstars who are at their peak, they can create a new dynasty for the Lakers!

No, not just the dynasty, they even have the opportunity to accomplish something farther than the dynasty, such as four consecutive championships, five consecutive championships...

"Yeah, that sounds like a really good thing."

Kobe nodded emphatically.

After hearing this, Buss patted Kobe with a smile.

"But...not in Los Angeles, but in Dallas."

he went on.

Kobe started laughing too, but the smile soon faded away.

He is not stupid, of course he knows what little Bath means.

"Shaq is old and his value is very low in the trading market. If we can't trade a lineup that can continue to win the championship, it means that we are likely to face reconstruction, which is why we will choose to trade Sun.

Kobe, you sacrificed and contributed a lot to Los Angeles. We don't want you to accompany us to rebuild with us at the peak. "

Little Buss said a long paragraph.

Kobe didn't speak after listening.

Although what Bass said was very reasonable, in fact, he was kicked out, which made him feel very uncomfortable.

Seeing Kobe's reaction, Buss Jr. did not stop speaking, but continued to speak.

"You want to prove that you can succeed without Shaq. Dallas is the best choice. They failed to defend their title last season. If you help them win the championship again, it will not only prove that you can succeed without Shaq, but also prove that you are the Best shooting guard."

These words stunned Kobe.

This is very accurate.

He can not only prove that he can succeed without O'Neal, but also prove that he is better than Sun Hao, so he should be the top five shooting guards!

One action, two wins!

Moreover, leaving Los Angeles in a sign-and-trade approach is tantamount to bringing back assets for the Lakers.

In this way, the fans will not say that he is an ungrateful person, leaving the team that trained him for so many years in vain.

Kobe finally nodded.

Little Bass breathed a sigh of relief.

Things went unexpectedly smoothly.

He had to thank West.

Because the latter sentence was what West taught him to say.

Kobe's character is destined to be competitive and extremely paranoid.

With such an opportunity in front of him, Kobe would not miss it.

...

Kupchak, negotiating with Nelson Jr. carefully.

The price that Bass gave before was a bit too high. What he wants now is to reduce that loss as much as possible.

But there will be a question of degree involved.

Because if the drop is too much, Nelson Jr. may turn around and go to the Wizards or the Suns.

But because the bargaining chip they give is Kobe, there is room for decline.

In the end, after the two men had been negotiating for a whole day, the deal finally surfaced.

The Lakers and Kobe first signed a 7-year 136 million maximum salary contract, and then signed a 6-year 37 million contract with Fisher, and then packaged Devin George, a 2005 first-rounder, two In the next second round, Sun Hao and Michael Finley of the Mavericks were traded.

Before the transaction is completed, Sun Hao will also sign a multi-year maximum-salary contract with the Mavericks. The first-year salary will be 25% of the salary cap for next season.

Although the confirmed salary cap has not yet been finalized, the final salary is about 11 million US dollars.

Don't compare the salary at the beginning of the century with the future. You must know that the starting salary of Kobe's 100 million yuan contract is only 14 million.

This transaction is somewhat different from what Cuban said before, but it is acceptable to both parties.

Although Ariza is a first-round pick, the Mavericks are aiming to win the championship, and what they need more is immediate combat power.

Although Devin George has limited talent, he played the best performance with F4 last season.

Of course, the most important thing is that he is one of the few Lakers who has a good relationship with Kobe.

The same is true for Fisher. This No. 24 pick who entered the NBA in the same year as Kobe has proven to be Kobe's best backcourt partner.

Including the 0.4-second lore shot against the Mavericks in the playoffs last year, Cuban loved him a lot.

So Nelson Jr. can be regarded as maximizing the value of Sun Hao's transaction and bringing back the most useful people to the team as much as possible.

As for Kupchak, among other things, the most important thing is to successfully trade Sun Hao!

As for Finley, it looks like a garbage contract, but in fact his strength is still there, but he has been sacrificing the ball.

Although the contract is a bit longer, just like Glenn Rice during the first championship of the Lakers, being the third master is not a problem at all.

For the young general manager of the Lakers, the next thing he has to do is to recruit role players in the free market.

Last season, many of them came here to embrace F4's thighs. When F4 failed to win the championship, they naturally dispersed.

If the Lakers want to enter the championship again, they must do a good job of reinforcement.

...

Germany, the ancient city of Trier in the west.

The German men's basketball team is training here to prepare for the Olympics.

Nowitzki had just finished training when Holger suddenly walked over to him.

Nowitzki wiped the sweat from his forehead with a towel, and looked at his mentor with a smile.

"I heard that Sun was traded."

Holger said as calmly as possible.

"What?!"

Nowitzki's smile disappeared instantly, and he looked at Holger in disbelief.

"It hasn't been officially announced yet. Little Nelson told me the news in advance. He asked me to tell you first."

When Holger said this, his expression was helpless. He knew the relationship between Sun Hao and Nowitzki in the past few years.

After this transaction, Nowitzki will definitely be hit hard.

Nowitzki froze for a long time before recovering.

"I have to call Donnie."

Nowitzki stood up and walked out quickly.

Maybe it was because I was too anxious to walk, I tripped my foot and almost fell down.

However, he stumbled and quickly disappeared into the training hall.

Holger looked at Nowitzki's back and sighed.

He is now a little thankful that he didn't play in the NBA when he was young, which has always been a commercial league.

And it's a little funny to say that many players know that they have been traded only after watching the news.

Nowitzki already knew the news of Sun Hao's trade before the trade, which is considered very good.

However, Nowitzki must have been unable to change anything.

...

Later in the day, seven days after the league's free agency opened, ESPN announced that the deal was official.

Kobe Bryant, the most famous player in the free market, and former FMVP Sun Hao, officially exchanged clubs!
