I am so Accurate

There are two types of NBA transactions.

One is that rumors are flying all over the sky, but in the end the transaction can't be done.

The other is that you don't hear any rumors at all, and the transaction is completed immediately.

Garnett's transaction can be regarded as having experienced both.

It was the first type in the summer, and the second type is happening now.

The transaction happened so suddenly, it felt like we were really leaving the old and welcoming the new on the first day of the new year!

But really looking at the transaction itself, it's not surprising.

Because the Timberwolves' trade partner is the Celtics.

That's right, it was the Celtics who failed to trade with the Timberwolves in the summer.

At this time, they talked about it!

The specific content of the transaction is: The Celtics sent Al Jefferson, Ryan Gomez, Gerald Green, Sebastian Telfair, Michael Olowokandi and 1 A 2007 first-round pick, two 2009 first-round picks, traded for Kevin Garnett from the Timberwolves.

How similar it is compared to history, the only difference is that the extra insider sent is not Ratliff but Olowokandi, and there is an extra first round in 2007.

In fact, last summer, the Celtics submitted a similar plan, but it was rejected by the Timberwolves.

There are three reasons why the Timberwolves will agree now.

First and foremost, Al Jefferson hits it!

Excellent data, gorgeous offensive footwork, he has shown the potential of a top insider.

The experience of the past few seasons has taught the Timberwolves management that it is completely impossible to recruit stars based on the attractiveness of their own team.

So cultivating stars by themselves is their only way out.

What they got in this deal were all young players and a large number of draft picks.

This not only meets their requirements, but also replenishes all the draft picks confiscated by the league in the past few years because of the "yin-yang contract".

Second, it's from Garnett.

Before playing the Lakers in the preseason, Garnett was already very autistic watching Mike James dare to fight and fight in garbage time.

When it entered the regular season, the record of the Timberwolves was not as good as that of the same period last season, which made him completely desperate.

Third, the Pistons rejected the Timberwolves' offer.

The Pistons are Garnett's most wanted team, but the Pistons don't want to tear down the existing team framework for Garnett.

You must know that although they lost their big book, the Pistons' defensive system is still there, and now they rank second in the Eastern Conference and are closely following the Wizards.

At this time, let them push to start again, they don't have that much motivation.

Combining three reasons, the Celtics, who have paid a lot of money, have naturally become the first choice for the Timberwolves to trade.

After the transaction happened, it immediately triggered a shock in the alliance.

The headlines on the front pages of the major sports media have all become... the Celtics' Big Three!

This is the first team in modern NBA history with three peak teams! !

Although because of the team's record, none of the three were selected for the best team last season.

But 30 years old, no, it should be 29 years old Garnett more accurately, because Garnett will not be officially 30 years old until May!

Ray Allen is 30 years old! Many people may not know that Ray Allen is actually one year older than Garnett.

And 28-year-old Pierce!

The ages of these three people are all still at their peak! !

"I heard that the three-way deal last summer was Ray Allen's initiative to go to Boston, and he also contacted Garnett!"

"In other words, these three people have actually been discussing playing together in summer?"

"Correct, except that Boston didn't have enough attractive chips at the time, but now Al Jefferson has played."

"That being said, I suspect that Boston is deliberately giving Al Jefferson a statistic to increase his trade value!"

"But you have to be capable to brush you! Al is indeed an excellent insider. In time, the All-Stars will not be a problem, but Boston can't afford to wait."

"Especially don't care about how this transaction happened, isn't it important that it happened? What the hell are other teams doing?!"

"Don't forget, even with this deal, Boston still has Ricky Davis!"

"Three all-stars plus one quasi-all-star, this... let's give the championship ring directly!!"

"Other teams said, I'd better be Xu Xian, play snake!"

"I think the league should block this deal, it's so unfair to other teams, especially to the Lakers!!"

"That's right, the state of the Lakers this season, the dynasty has a great chance, but the result is now good, and it will be punished directly by God!"

"Don't brag too much, Boston sent away so many people at once, who is left on the bench now?"

"Also Rajon Rondo, Delonte West, Tony Allen, Ratliff, Leon Bowie."

"..."

"Actually, they only sent away five people."

"Speaking of which, is it a problem to be a substitute? In this lineup, I can do it myself!"

"I predict a wave, this year's player buyout scene will be unprecedentedly lively."

"Haha, a lot of players who want championship rings will flock to Boston!"

"Correct answer! They didn't have the chance to go to the Lakers before, but now they can go to Boston!"

"Daw Rivers: Never fought such a rich battle in my life!"

"Is Phil Jackson there? I'm Rivers, I'm asking online how to coach a superstar!"

"O'Neill's grandma: I understand this, I'll do it!"

"Oh, the yellow-green war is coming again?!"

"Danny Ainge, I love you! Come on, we also want the 17th championship!"

...

The fans were still talking about it, and the next day, there was a news about the player dynamics.

The Cavaliers' "Mickey Mouse" David Wesley reached a buyout contract with the team and is expected to go to the Celtics!

Former All-Star Eddie Jones reached a buyout agreement with the Grizzlies and is expected to go to the Celtics!

Keith Van Horn, who has decided not to play in the NBA during the offseason, is reported to be in contact with the Celtics management, and the two parties intend to sign a contract!

Good guy, before the buyout deadline officially comes, some players can't wait!

It feels like the championship ring is awarded in advance, first come, first served!

On this day, the Lakers submitted an application to the league, hoping to investigate whether there were any irregularities in the insider transaction between the Celtics and the Timberwolves.

Because the Timberwolves had a previous record of "yin and yang contracts", this application was quickly approved by the league.

...

"Should we stop this?"

In the league office, Tatum asked Stern.

He knows that Stern attaches great importance to overseas markets, and Sun Hao is the label of overseas markets.

If because of this deal, the Lakers' dynasty is broken and the overseas market suffers setbacks, then the situation is probably not what Stern wants to see.

"How to stop it?"

Stern didn't answer right away, but asked Tatum back.

"us……"

Tatum didn't answer for a while.

There is actually no big problem with the transaction itself, as both parties get what they need.

Moreover, the Celtics sent almost half of the team, and there are so many first rounds, there is a draft pick from the Grizzlies, and the transaction value is very high.

"We don't have to stop it, it's a good thing."

Stern continued.

On the one hand, it is indeed as he said, this transaction is difficult to stop.

This is different from that of the Hornets in history. At that time, the Hornets were managed, which was equivalent to the owner of the team being the league, that is, Stern.

On the other hand, the dynasty is a good thing for Lakers fans, but not necessarily for other teams.

Especially since the Lakers only completed their dynasty at the beginning of the century, and one after another, other teams in the league will not want to play.

So the emergence of a super team that can challenge the Lakers is something he and the league board of directors hope to see.

If you really want to count, in order to prevent the first dynasty of the Lakers, he introduced a series of rules to limit O'Neal such as "defense for three seconds".

Now it's just a different approach.

"I worry that it will create a bad climate."

Compared with Adam Mosaic, Tatum's emotional intelligence is significantly higher.

He had already read the latter from Stern's words, but he also raised his own concerns.

And after all, he has been with Stern for many years, and his vision of considering things is also very forward-looking.

"It's up to them to succeed."

Stern's next words made Tatum realize that he seemed to have been wrong in the first place.

Stern still thinks the Lakers have a chance to win.

Think about it, too, the Celtics' lineup is really outrageously strong, so outrageous that most people think they are sure to win.

But basketball has never been a simple game of collecting cards. Now that the season has started for two months, there is not much time left for the Celtics to adjust the lineup.

Not to mention that their current lineup is still not done.

I can understand Boston's feeling that they don't want to be pulled away by their old opponents, but will they have time to run in?

"able."

If Sun Hao were to answer this question, his answer would be this.

After knowing that the Celtics had completed the deal, Sun Hao was the one who felt the most threatened.

Because in history, after these three big guys got together, they defeated the Lakers to win the championship that season!

Indeed, the time left for them to adjust is shorter than in history.

But you can't ignore at the same time, their strength on paper is stronger than in history!

The most direct thing is that these three big guys are one year younger than in history!

For players of their age, experience is no longer a problem. The younger you are, the stronger your physical fitness and the better you can play!

Not to mention they still kept Ricky Davis!

The player who said "I thought James was here to assist me" in history is not bad at all!

As the fans said, he was at the quasi-All-Star level at his peak!

Last season and this season, he averaged close to 20 points per game with the Celtics. This season, he should play as a substitute because of Ray Allen's joining, but he still contributed about 15 points per game efficiently.

In other words, at the age of 28, he is at his peak!

This is really a game of three twos and an ace.

However, when Sun Hao said yes, he meant that they could get along well.

You asked him whether the Celtics will definitely win the championship like in history, and his answer is definitely not this.

If it was the Lakers last season, it is less likely to have played this Big Three team.

But this season, O'Neal changed his career for a second season because of losing weight, and Hill is in such a good state, they are also quasi-kings!

...

The formation of the Big Three in Boston has brought more than just heated discussions among fans and the flocking of some players.

Its impact on other teams in the league is also huge.

For example, the Spurs coach Popovich's reaction to this deal was even greater than that of the Lakers.

He said bluntly in front of the media: "This is robbery! They exchanged a pile of ten cents for a ten dollar note!"

Popovich has this reaction is also reasonable.

The Lakers have overwhelmed them over the past few years, and now there is a stronger Celtics, how can it be played!

There are also championship teams such as the Wizards, Pistons, Suns, and Mavericks, as well as the strong Eastern teams such as the Nets and Heat.

Because this really put a big dark cloud over their heads!

Whether to choose a military competition and continue to strengthen to meet the tough; or to abandon the current lineup and start rebuilding ahead of schedule, this is the multiple choice question they will face next.

However, it affects the whole body, no matter how they choose, the next trade deadline will not be too peaceful.

It can even be said that from the moment the Celtics formed the Big Three to the trade deadline, this league will become very lively!

...

The formation of the Celtics Big Three is like forming a big whirlpool in the league.

Boston, which is at the center of this vortex, is naturally the focus of media attention.

Just after the league's investigation was completed and it was announced that the deal was in compliance with the regulations, it can be said that Boston became a "crowded city" scene in an instant.

Not only those players who wanted championship rings crowded there, even the reporters almost stepped on the threshold of the North Shore Garden Center.

Since Bird and McHale retired, this kind of scene has really not happened for a long time!

Even at the intersections of major highways in Boston, you can see posters of the Big Three that have been produced in a big way.

Boston, a city with the deepest basketball background in the United States, is announcing the return of their king in a blowout way!

Garnett completed his physical examination, and after the Celtics completed their first training session, he was surrounded by reporters three times in and out.

But it wasn't just Garnett who was surrounded, because Pierce and Ray Allen took the initiative to stand beside Garnett.

This scene of "brothers unite as one" will definitely inspire the fans of the Celtics.

"What made you choose to join Boston in the end?"

"Do you think there are compatibility issues between the Big Three?"

"The season has started for two months, do you think the team has had enough time to adjust?"

"Do you think you guys can beat the Lakers?"

...

Questions from the reporters followed suit.

After Garnett signaled to come one by one, he began to formally answer questions.

And the first question he answered made the crowd reporters feel the iron-blooded side of "Wolf King".

"You should ask Sun or Shaq, do they think they can beat us?"

Garnett said with a smile.
