Legendary Basketball Tycoon

The time came to the end of August 1997.

Within a month, Bruce had arranged both the Hans and the Sonics, just waiting for the official announcement from the back of the two teams.

Bruce, who has completed the task, has already completed the report at the Lakeside Middle School in Seattle, and is waiting for the start of school in a few days.

As for the Han Chinese team's transaction, he has handed over to the team general manager Mitch Kupchak to handle it.

When other teams in the league were secretly strengthening and preparing to show off in the new season, the New York Hans fired the first shot of a blockbuster trade in the trading market.

The Hans of New York teamed up with the New York Knicks, the Golden State Warriors, and the Los Angeles Lakers to make a big deal of 12 people.

The Han people took out Glen Rice + Mark Jackson + Jaylen Rose to get Chris Mullin + Stephen Marbury + B.J. Armstrong.

The Knicks took out Stephen Marbury + John Starks + Christian Leitner + Sean Lucks to get Mark Jackson + Ratrel Sprewell + Robert Horry.

The Warriors took out Latril Sprewell + Chris Mullin + B.J. Armstrong to get John Starks + Christian Lightner + Jaylen Rose + Nick Van Exel.

The Lakers took out Robert Horry + Nick Van Exel to get Glen Rice + Sean Lukes + the first round of the Mavericks in 1999.

As soon as this transaction came out, it immediately caused a sensation across the United States.

Judging from this transaction, the Hans paid for Glen Rice and his important minister Mark Jackson. As for Jaylen Rose and the first round of the Mavericks in 1999, it is purely an addition and can be ignored.

The Warriors "wounded" Chris Mullin and the Knicks "stab" Stephen Marbury, B.J. Armstrong are also added.

This deal obviously caused dissatisfaction among the Han Chinese fans. The fans did not expect that the Han Chinese would be so mentally disabled. They would actually trade back this with an All-Star player plus a veteran? !

What's the use of a Chris Mullin who was absent for a long time due to injuries in the past few seasons? If Chris Mullin could join the team 90 years ago, it would be a good deal, but now Well, how is Chris Mullin’s status? No one knows. Although last season averaged 14.5 points and 4.1 assists per game, the statistics are indeed pretty good, but everyone should know that Chris Mullin is already on the verge of retirement. No one knows how many years he can play. Isn't it a problem for the team to trade him at this time? !

Another one is Stephen Marbury. It is well known that the Han Chinese do not like Marbury very much, whether they are fans or players of the team. Wouldn't it be a blockage for the big guys to trade him over? !

In short, this deal made all the fans who support the Han Chinese ignorant.

Looking back at the Knicks, after trading the "stab" Stephen Marbury, the Knicks also acquired their dream point guard Mark Jackson. Mark Jackson was in the first round of the 1987 NBA Draft. The 18th place was selected by the New York Knicks. This time to return to the Knicks is obviously to prepare to return to the roots.

More importantly, the Knicks not only took out the position that coincided with the aunt, Christian Lightner, but also dealt with the team’s other "stab head" John Starks, and got the present Rattle Sprewell and striker Robert Horry are hot.

This sale of the Knicks is obviously a big profit.

The reason why the Warriors used these players as a bargaining chip is undoubtedly to ease the pressure on the luxury tax for the new season. Chris Mullin’s salary for the new season is 2.94 million US dollars, and Latril Sprewell also needs it. Gao, Warriors owner Chris Cohan is a stingy guy, he is not willing to invest too much money, the Warriors' performance in these years is very bad, instead of going on like this, why not take these high-paid you to change some fresh blood and salary It is obviously a good deal to join players who are not so high.

The last is the Lakers. It can be said that the Lakers made a small profit. The Lakers are aiming at Glenn Rice. As for the other things, it is not too important. After Fan mad, the Lakers point guard Fisher can be completely seamless. Connected, and forward Robert Horry is an optional master. Rick Fox has joined the team as a substitute in the new season, so there will be no Robert Horry position. Take 2 high-quality players. Switching to an All-Star player, this is a small profit.

The major media rushed to report on this transaction, which aroused heated debate in the United States.

ESPN columnist Bill Simmons wrote:

"I don't know what the management of the Hans in New York thinks. That's right. The Hans clamored for the exchange of blood at first, but even if the exchange was exchanged, they had to trade back some good prices, such as the draft picks in the next few years. Like, if you overdraft, you have to plan for the future, and Han’s management actually trades like this. I really can’t move it. It seems that the Hans have chosen to smash in advance in the new season. If I score this deal, Then it can only be C!"

"As for the Hans’ city rivals, the Knicks are definitely a big winner in this trade, let’s take a look at the Knicks lineup next season. The point guard is Mark Jackson, the shooting guard is Alan Houston, and the small forward is Rattle. Lille Sprewell, power forward is Larry Johnson, center is Patrick Ewing, oh my god, this lineup is simply invincible, at least in the East, the Bulls can compete against it, and the West draws that team. The team can’t beat this team. Really, I really didn’t expect the Knicks to increase the strength of the team to this level in this deal. Look at these 5 players, it’s just too scary. That's it! If I score this deal, it will definitely be A+!"

"The same goes for the Warriors. Although they have paid for such a strong player as Ratril Sprewell + Chris Mullin, the Warriors have not suffered any loss. They have no pressure on their own, and they have all come back. It's a new force, no loss, and there is a lot of looseness in salary, so if I score this deal, it must be an A!"

"The last thing is the Lakers. I won’t say much about the Lakers. I traded 2 players for an All-Star player, and he was still the starting player on the All-Star. It was a profit. I wouldn’t be able to score this deal. Low, it's also A!"

"In general, apart from the Hans, the other three are winners in this deal. I don’t know if there are other deals behind the Hans, but for now, I don’t see that the Hans can still play like last season in the new season. good grade!"
