I am so Accurate

Chapter 479 James’ new partner is...

This news, or rather this rumor, is quite reliable.

Brand averaged 25+10 per game in the regular season last season, and he also averaged 25+10 in the playoffs. He also led his team to play 7 games with the Nuggets and unfortunately lost!

In terms of statistics alone, this kind of performance ranks high in history, and can be shoulder to shoulder with Duncan and Garnett.

In other words, this greatly increased his trading value.

Trading Garnett with Brand as the main body is very feasible for the Clippers.

Moreover, Brand is younger than Garnett. When it is no longer possible to keep Garnett, he will be used to exchange for an All-Star who has made a big breakthrough.

This transaction is not a loss for the Timberwolves at all.

Let’s take a look at Gasol + Garnett after the trade, this future Hall of Fame insider combination...

Sun Hao was a little jealous after reading it.

But if this is the case, what should Bynum do?

Start washing, cutting and blow-drying in advance?

The free market continues, and new signings are being made one after another.

Tim Thomas joined the Clippers with a four-year, $24 million contract based on his outstanding performance in the playoffs last season.

This signing also led to further speculation among fans. Is this preparation for Brand's departure?

You must know that neither Garnett nor Gasol are players who focus on scoring.

But Thomas is.

As a substitute inside man, he can play with both of them, which is perfect.

And there are follow-up media reports that the Timberwolves and Clippers have sat down to negotiate, and the transaction between the two parties is progressing very smoothly.

"It's only a matter of time before Garnett heads to Los Angeles."

According to a Timberwolves executive, the trade negotiations between the two parties are even very close to being concluded.

Sun Hao is also looking forward to it.

If this is really achieved, then the Los Angeles Derby will be a daily internal battle.

O'Neal is flanked by his sister-in-law and the Wolf King every day. It must be a beautiful scene.

Some transactions go smoothly here, and others do not.

For example, when the Nuggets pursue Kidd, no matter how much they offer, the Nets are not happy.

The Nuggets gave Terry + Nene / Camby / Martin three choices + three first-round chips, but they still couldn't impress the Nets.

This made some James fans angry.

Obviously you are short of insiders, I have three dozen insiders for you to choose from, and I gave you three first-rounders, but you still refused!

In terms of stakes and suitability, this is really good.

However, from the Nets' perspective, the team's trident has only been running together for one season, and it has also reached the second round of the Eastern Conference.

They have no reason to take the initiative to make adjustments to the team at this time, not to mention that their system relies on Kidd's suggestions.

Sending Kidd away means that they have to completely overthrow the existing system.

The Nets are not the Nuggets’ trumpet either!

Interestingly, the Nets are interested in trading Jefferson with the Nuggets.

But obviously, the Nuggets don't have much interest in Jefferson.

I'm not willing to give you what you want, and you don't want what I'm willing to give you.

The drama of the free market is really promising.

And, that's not all.

Bonchy Wells of the Kings performed well last season, averaging 13.6 points and 7.7 rebounds per game.

The former shooting guard of the Trail Blazers became a power forward by playing the game.

Although he did not have the amazing series where he averaged 23+12 against the Spurs in history, the Kings still offered him a five-year, 36 million contract extension.

Then Bunchy Wells said no!

This guy who once scored 50+ points in the playoffs during the Trail Blazers era obviously feels that his value is much more than that.

He is ready to test the free market and seek a higher-paying contract.

Bunky Wells, Sun Hao is still very familiar with him.

He also did something like this in history. In the end, he found that no one wanted him and signed a two-year, 5 million contract with the Houston team at the time.

At that time, Yao Ming was playing for the Houston team. Domestic fans shouted that they had gotten a big deal and gave him an affectionate nickname: Muscle Stick.

In this matter, Sun Hao also felt that the Rockets had made a profit.

However, Wells' positioning is somewhat similar to Tim Thomas, who the Lakers declined before.

The offense is capable, but the defense is not that good. After all, he is 1.96 meters tall.

Not everyone can be, or even come close to, Barkley.

The price of 36 million for 5 years is almost enough.

Moreover, this kind of height has become an inside line, which shows that Wells's weight is constantly increasing and he is not doing a good job in controlling his weight.

It seems that what happened in history will most likely happen again.

Should Kupchak be prepared to pick up the slack?

After thinking about it, Sun Hao gave up.

The Lakers already have Millsap. If they sign Wells again, whether the effect will be good or not remains to be seen, but Millsap will definitely be put on the bench.

The free market continues, and Sun Hao has started a small career for Sun Yue in the national team.

The Chinese team now has Yao Ming and Yi Jianlian on the inside, and Zhu Fangyu on the front line, but he still lacks an outside partner who can help defend.

There is no one more suitable than Sun Yue.

So what Sun Hao did to Sun Yue was also for his own consideration.

Moreover, Sun Hao was also ruthless when training Sun Yue.

The effect is also very good.

First of all, Sun Yue has practiced with Sun Hao more or less in the past few summers, so he is very familiar with it.

Secondly, Sun Hao is the boss of the national team. Unless Sun Yue doesn't want to be in the national team anymore, he can only endure it.

But after practicing, you will find that this is a good thing for Sun Yue.

His mama's boy temperament is being worn away little by little, and his tough temperament is being developed little by little.

The national team training here is proceeding in an orderly manner, and there are new trends in the free market soon.

The deal between the Clippers and Timberwolves fell through.

There were two main reasons for the failure.

One is that the Timberwolves hope to add Livingston to the deal, which is unacceptable to the Clippers.

Although Livingston's development with the Clippers in the past two years has not been as good as expected, his talent is still visible to the naked eye. All he lacks is opportunities.

Well, just like Reggie Jackson, Darren Collison, and Harden in history.

Moreover, the Clippers' trading of Mobley shows that they are ready to correct Livingston.

What, Livingston is not famous in history?

Wake up, that's Livingston after breaking his leg!

Before he broke his leg, he was known as the "successor of the magician"!

So this is unacceptable to the Clippers.

The second is Garnett's attitude.

Although the Clippers have traded for Gasol, Garnett does not have a strong intention to join the Clippers.

The fatal thing about the Clippers' lineup is that they lack a good enough outside scorer.

In today's league, core partners on the inside and outside are almost standard.

The Wizards' MM, the Lakers' instant kill, the Magic's Agent of Warcraft, etc.

This deal was something that fans were looking forward to for a while, but in the end it fell through.

On the other side, the negotiations between the Nuggets and Nets have also come to an end.

Compared with the previous signings and transactions, the news in the past two days has been a bit less thunderous and less rainy.

However, things didn't end that quickly.

As free agency continues, most of the signings have been finalized.

At this time, the trading market began to become unstable again.

First, after the deal between the Timberwolves and the Clippers fell through, the Celtics began to make offers to the Timberwolves as Sun Hao expected.

It's just that...their offers were all rejected by the Timberwolves.

The reason is simple. Although the Celtics' record in the past two years is poor, there are no particularly emerging newcomers.

Some people would say that Al Jefferson was the main chip in the Garnett trade in history?

Jefferson...because history has changed, he only served as a substitute for Gasol last season, averaging less than 10 points per game.

This is also a change brought about by the butterfly effect.

The Celtics' Big Three seem to be stillborn.

But the next piece of news perfectly explains that sentence: The east is not bright, but the west is bright!

The Nuggets, who failed to pursue Kidd, did not stop their reinforcements.

And this time they are targeting a player who looks incredible but is more viable than Kidd.

Allen Iverson!

Iverson's experiences in recent years are similar to Garnett, the protagonist of this summer.

The 76ers' record has continued to be sluggish in recent years, and unlike the Timberwolves, the management has been trying to strengthen.

First came Van Horn and Coleman, the No. 2 pick, then "Big Dog" Glenn Robinson, and then Chris Webber.

The team management could not be said to be careless, but without exception, they could not produce a chemical reaction with Iverson.

Iverson's scoring average is still very high, but the team's record is still no clue.

Averaging 33 points per game but failing to lead the team into the playoffs, this is a microcosm of the 76ers' current situation.

So what's different from Garnett's situation is that it's not Iverson who wants to leave, but the 76ers who want to take the initiative to seek change.

Husbands and wives even have emotional conversations because they have been together for a long time, let alone the team and the players.

One man, one city is rare in the NBA, and that's not just because of the players.

And another important reason for promoting this potential transaction is the growth of "little AI" Iguodala.

There is a characteristic of NBA transactions. The more rumors there are about a transaction, the lower the possibility of it being finalized.

And if there are few rumors, it may suddenly be officially announced one day.

Just before the July freeze period was about to end, the 76ers officially tweeted:

"Thank you for AI's contribution to the city of Philadelphia over the past ten years, and let us always remember the AI ​​of the 76ers. We also wish him better performance and achievements in his next stop in Denver."

The 76ers sent Iverson to the Nuggets!

AI, will be heading to Denver to start a new chapter in his career!

The specific details of the transaction are that the 76ers sent Iverson and received Jason Terry, Nene, two future first-round picks and a trade exception worth 5 million from the Nuggets!

According to subsequent ESPN reports, the Clippers were also negotiating with the 76ers before the deal was reached.

The Clippers tried to use Brand and Gasol as bargaining chips to lure the Timberwolves and the 76ers into a three-way deal to form a dual-core lineup with Iverson and Garnett.

The reason why the deal fell through in the end was still Livingston.

This time it was the 76ers who wanted Livingston, but in the end the Clippers still didn't give it.

So in the end, the 76ers chose another trade partner, the Nuggets, to complete the deal!

After this transaction happened, fans were completely outraged in the forum.

"Iverson plus James? This and this..."

"Foreigners are so pitiful, they can't even do shit!"

"This is so fucking ridiculous! The top pick of the 1996 golden generation joins forces with the top pick of the 2003 platinum generation!"

"The Nuggets won't have to use tactics next season. Iverson will play. After Iverson beats James, James will play. James will play after James beats Iverson..."

"I have a question, is the ball enough?"

"I'm worried about this too. AI and LeBron are both ball-handling types, so they don't get along well together!"

"Yes, it would be great if AI can go to the Clippers. He and the Wolf King will definitely match up well. And if Livingston stays, then the Clippers will be an enhanced version of the 76ers, the favorites to compete for the championship!"

"It's like you're not the favorite to win the championship right now!"

"That's right! When the Nuggets were pursuing Kidd, I didn't hear you saying they weren't compatible! Let's watch more of the Olympics and see how they play together!"

"It's not like AI doesn't know how to play without the ball. He used to play shooting guard when Larry Brown was coaching. That was his peak, okay!"

"I couldn't agree more. Both AI and LeBron are stronger with the ball, but they can also play without the ball. They will have a chemical reaction!"

"Iverson, J.R. Smith, James, Martin, Camby, this starting lineup, I admit I'm sore!"

"This year's free market is so lively! Next season, Mars will hit the Earth again!"

"I have a hunch that this is far from the end, and maybe the deal won't necessarily happen in the summer, but during next season."

"And if not, someone else wants to stand on his head and eat shit?"

"By the way, Brother Shit, who has found his trumpet? I've always wanted to watch his videos!"

Sun Hao had the same expression when he saw this transaction: w(Д)w

Shocked with disbelief.

He knows that Iverson and Anthony have teamed up in history, but now they are with James!

If you want to ask Sun Hao, a time traveler, whether the two can play together, Sun Hao can't give a definite answer.

It's not that James is much better than Anthony, but the two have different playing styles, so different!

The biggest reason why the combination of Anthony and Iverson failed in history is that their playing styles are too similar.

The same emphasis on offense and light defense, the same need for a lot of shot power, and the same inability to organize attacks.

Generally, one such player is enough for a team, and any more will serve as a substitute sixth man.

As a result, the two of them came together, and the result was predictable.

But James...is perfect for Iverson!

In history, the Nuggets are still the same group of people, but after switching from Iverson to Billups, the team has a feeling of "golden scales are not an object in the pool, but they change into dragons when encountering the storm."

The reason for this is obviously not that Billups is better than Iverson.

But Billups is more suitable for Anthony!

He has made up for everything Anthony lacked. He can defend, organize and control the rhythm.

These are exactly what James is good at, and can do as well or even better than Billups!

Of course, ball possession issues may become a potential problem for the Nuggets, and this is also a challenge that head coach George Karl will encounter.

What kind of fight these two can achieve will only be known in the new season.

But no matter what, it’s very exciting!
