I am so Accurate

There is no doubt about Garnett's strength and reputation. Two years ago, he was as famous as Duncan and Nowitzki in the competition for MVP.

But it was two years early.

With the disintegration of the Timberwolves' "three-headed monster", the Timberwolves' record has gone from bad to worse, and the team management has been unable to find a good helper for Garnett.

It may be hard to believe, but the Timberwolves haven't made the playoffs for several years.

This is torture for Garnett.

As a star who entered the league in the 1990s, he is the kind of star who has the imprint of "one man, one city" in his bones, but the current situation of the team makes him very confused.

Because if he doesn't make changes, he will soon be so confused that he retires.

You must know that time is wasted, he is already 30 years old in the blink of an eye.

The careers of inside players are generally lower than those of outside players, and he will soon join Elgin Baylor and their "uncrowned kings".

So after struggling for so long, he finally decided to change teams.

Don't be surprised. Historically, Garnett decided to leave the team in 2007.

Now that the Lakers have won another consecutive championship, they are under great pressure and temptation. It is normal for him to have ideas a year in advance.

And the Timberwolves management also respects Garnett.

He has dedicated his ten-year career to Minnesota. Regardless of the ups and downs of the team, this kind of dedication has done his best for the team and the city.

And what I have to mention at this time is the city of Minnesota. Because it is located in the extreme north, few stars are willing to go there.

In fact, the Timberwolves, which only joined the NBA in 1989, had always been a bottom-ranked team before Garnett was selected.

It can be said that Garnett is the only totem of their team.

So now that Garnett wants to leave, not only do they not stop him, but they will do their best to help him go to the team he wants to go to.

Garnett wants to go to the Lakers.

A few years ago, he was beaten by the Mavericks for 58 points twice in the Timberwolves, so he also got the nickname "58 Special".

That made him very angry and wanted to lead the team to perform well to prove himself.

But the reality is that the Timberwolves are not as good as each year. He went from angry to autistic, and now he also looks away.

Who doesn't have a dark spot in his career? Jordan was beaten to the point of isolation by the Pistons before winning three consecutive championships!

So after looking away, he felt relaxed, and even had a desire to be teammates with Sun Hao.

His thinking is also very clear. Since he is leaving, he must choose the best new partner.

Sun Hao has won three championships in six years. There is nothing more suitable than this.

There is a saying that no one knows each other without fighting.

And this is also a very good opportunity.

Some people may say why don't the Lakers take the opportunity to form a Big Three?

That's almost impossible.

First of all, the Lakers' first-round picks are mostly at the end of the first round, which is completely worthless.

The Timberwolves will do their best to help Garnett, but they won't be stupid enough to trade a superstar for a bunch of late first-round picks.

As for other players, except for Sun Hao and O'Neal, the trading value of everyone else on the Lakers is completely unequal to Garnett.

Therefore, the only possibility for a trade with the Lakers is O'Neal.

Two years ago, Garnett's trade value was about the same as O'Neal's.

Two years later, the trade value of the two is greater for Garnett, but not by much.

O'Neal is getting older, and Garnett has been unable to lead the team to the playoffs for several consecutive years, so the trade value of both of them is declining.

In addition, during the championship parade, Buss announced in public that he would solve the aging problem of the team.

Trading O'Neal for a super giant in his prime is the best solution.

This is also the so-called opportunity.

In fact, after this news report came out, Lakers fans reacted extremely strongly and were divided into two rows with opposing views.

Opposing fans:

"I just said that Shaq is the second best player in team history, and now we are so anxious to trade him away? Is business just business?"

"If Shaq is really traded away, then I will no longer watch the Lakers. The Lakers should not be a team without warmth."

"Is Garnett definitely suitable for the Lakers? Looking at his fighting and retreating, I think his style is destined to fail to win a championship!"

"Have you forgotten Shaq's performance in G6 last season so quickly? Without him, we may not be able to defend the title!"

…

Fans who agree:

"Hurry up and change. Why are you hesitating? A 34-year-old shark for a 30-year-old wolf king? Can you miss such an opportunity?!"

"Shaq is old. We can't keep escaping reality. If we want to stay competitive and win more championships, this is the best deal."

"I also agree with the trade, but I think we should find a third party and send Shaq to a team that has the strength to compete for the championship as much as possible."

"Yes, human kindness can be used in another way. Didn't you hear that the Heat have thoughts about Shaq before? I think we can use the Heat as a third party."

"The combination of Sun and the Wolf King, the pick-and-roll between the two must be beautiful, and the Wolf King has a large defensive coverage area, which is very suitable for Sun!"

"I'm extremely moved by what you said. Change it quickly. I believe Shaq will understand!"

…

And it is obvious that the voices in favor are louder than the voices against.

Don’t be surprised. In American education, the concept of “I” is very emphasized.

It is the so-called "freedom", which can also be understood as selfishness.

Bath's apartment.

Kupchak is talking to Buss about this matter right now.

Despite Bass's assurance, he actually wasn't very sure.

Although they successfully won the championship last season, the performance of the Lakers' role players was really average.

"It seems like I can't play without O'Neal." This is too hurtful.

Moreover, Payton, Mourning and the Lakers all signed one-year minimum salaries, which cannot be used as trading chips.

So it's a big deal, but what's really feasible is probably Finley's contract.

With Finley's trade value day and his performance in the playoffs, his contract's trade value has increased.

Or maybe, just touch O'Neal.

"Do you want to do this deal too?"

Buss Jr. was asking Kupchak for his opinion.

"From a business perspective, a third-party deal is the best option, but from an emotional perspective, we should keep Shaq."

Kupchak is quite smart. He didn't make his position clear, but he also talked about the pros and cons.

Regarding this matter, what the fans think about is not much different from what the management considers.

Little Bass lit a cigar and fell into a dilemma.

This matter is different from the original deal involving Kobe and Sun Hao.

He couldn't run and ask his teacher Jerry West: Should I consider business or favors?

To put it bluntly, it depends on what he, the new leader, chooses.

But in fact, the fact that he will consider it shows that he already has a preference in his heart.

The 30-year-old Garnett has no idea how many more years he can help the Lakers!

And there may not be a store like this after passing this village.

The 34-year-old O'Neal will only continue to age. If all the contracts are fulfilled, he will be 38 years old.

Even if O'Neal continues to degenerate, it will be a waste of Sun Hao's career for at most two years.

Although Sun Hao is still very young, he is still 25 years old. He will be 29 in 4 years, which is the true peak.

"I think it would be best to ask your father about this matter?"

Kupchak saw Bass struggling, and then said.

O'Neal is different from Kobe. His arrival can be said to have saved the Lakers.

Old Bass's feelings for O'Neal are naturally stronger.

Bass Jr. shook his head.

Old Bass has already handed over all the team's affairs to him. If he wants to ask again at this time, it will appear that he is very incompetent.

"Or, I think we can ask Sun for his opinion."

Kupchak continued.

Sun Hao's suggestions were constantly adopted by him, and he had unknowingly developed a kind of trust and dependence on Sun Hao.

This time Bass nodded.

The Bulls management had a very unhappy relationship with Jordan and missed many unseen opportunities.

The most direct thing is, if Krause hadn't forced the team to disband and Jordan hadn't been forced to retire for the second time, wouldn't the Bulls have been able to win four consecutive championships?

Sun Hao is now the signature of the Lakers and the league, and his opinions will be very important.

Of course, just because Bass nodded, it didn't mean that he would ask immediately.

He wanted to see it again.

…

As free agency approaches, trade rumors become more frequent.

For example, Gasol has attracted the attention of many fans.

Among them, the Grizzlies and Clippers are the frontrunners.

The bargaining chip given by the Grizzlies is this year's No. 6 pick Rudy Gay + Mike Miller or Shane Battier;

The Clippers' chips are Kaman + Maggette / Mobley, plus a first-rounder;

The bargaining chips given by both teams are high-quality young players with immediate combat capabilities. The Clippers are even willing to send another first-rounder, which can be said to be full of sincerity.

However, the Celtics were not in a hurry to respond.

Ainge doesn't seem to want to rebuild.

There is actually one point to mention here: the NBA actually has its own games specially designed for wealthy families.

The Lakers and Celtics, these two teams will not rebuild unless they have to. They mostly use transactions to complete the replacement of the old with the new.

On the other side, the trade between the Nets and the Nuggets is also rumored to be hot.

There is news that the Nuggets have given the Nets permission to exchange for Kidd, except for James, the team has nothing that is not for sale!

From this point of view, it is not that the Cavaliers have been particularly good to James in history, but the talent that James has shown makes the management focus on him.

Of course, how can we miss the excitement of the Lakers at this time?

Some "enthusiastic netizens" have sorted out all the feasible plans for the Lakers.

Among them, the trade plan between the Heat and Celtics was mentioned most by fans.

The Heat are invited to serve as a third party, as follows:

The Heat sent Odom and Caron Butler and the first round to get O'Neal;

The Lakers sent O'Neal and two first-rounders to get Garnett;

The Timberwolves sent Garnett and got Odom, Butler and three first-rounders.

The Celtics are invited to be a third party, as follows:

The Celtics sent Al Jefferson, Ricky Davis, Gerald Green and the first round to get O'Neal;

The Lakers sent O'Neal and two first-rounders to get Garnett;

The Timberwolves traded Garnett for Al Jefferson, Ricky Davis, Gerald Green and three first-rounders.

Of course, there are other plans, but they are basically the same. They all send O'Neal to a third-party team and get three points each.

And sending O'Neal to the East will not add new opponents to the Lakers in the West.

Sometimes you have to admire the power of netizens.

Even Kupchak thought it was reasonable after reading it. He would even want to try it if Buss Jr. opened his mouth.

…

After the finals, O'Neal began his happy life every summer.

Filming movies, recording songs, beach beauties in bikinis.

Oh, this year I also added another one, going to the streets of Los Angeles to experience being a police officer.

If O'Neal doesn't enjoy life, then he's not him.

However, he had just started recording songs in the past two days and was not in a good mood.

There were endless trading rumors about him, and those trading plans made him very unhappy.

You must know that when he stayed on the team last year, he chose to take a certain salary cut.

As a result, just one year later, these people wanted to send him away.

This is really the real-life version of "I used to call you Xiao Tiantian, but now I call you Mrs. Niu."

The key is that the attitude of the Lakers management also makes him uncomfortable.

Rumors were flying outside, but the management did not speak up for themselves.

He even heard from some friends on the team that Kupchak and Buss Jr. were talking about the Garnett trade.

He has begun to say similar things when chatting with friends around him: If the Lakers finally choose to trade him away, he will be very, very disappointed.

…

Sun Hao is already preparing to return to China.

The World Championships will be held in August, which means that he will only be able to train with the national team for a month at most this time.

Although the roster of the national team this time has not changed much from the past, after all, it has been two years since I played a national team game, so it will definitely take time to get used to it.

Just before he was about to return to China, Bass Jr. called him and invited him to a private estate.

He said that he wanted to invite him to have a meal before he returned to China. When the two of them sat and chatted before the meal, he found out that it was because of the recent trade rumors.

"Do you think we should talk to Minnesota about the Kevin Garnett trade?"

Although it is not stated clearly, there are rumors that Kupchak's so-called Garnett trade refers to Garnett and O'Neal.

"I just wanted to hear your advice."

And he knew Sun Hao's behavior, so he added additionally.

"Do you want to hear the truth or lies?"

This topic was very sensitive, so Sun Hao smiled to lighten the atmosphere.

Although the two people communicated privately, who knows whether Bass will reveal it.

Jordan was so angry that he accidentally spilled the beans.

"Let's hear the lies first."

Little Bas was not in a hurry.

"The lie is that I have many reasons not to agree to do that. In the Lakers' team culture, there is no such thing as trading a veteran;

Without Shaq, our center advantage will disappear, and Yao or Dwight can wreak havoc at the basket;

The core transactions will need to be re-edited, we are attacking the dynasty, and doing so will increase a lot of risks, etc., a lot. "

"What's the truth?"

Bass Jr. then asked.

If Sun Hao's lies were against trading O'Neal, then the truth...

"If the old Shaq is going to be traded, will the old me be traded too?"

But Sun Hao's true words left little Bas stunned.
