NBA Dynasty Sniper

Chapter 393: Join the Trailblazer

Time is moving forward, and the transaction concerning Zhao Dong is also proceeding nervously.

Ringo Wells rejected most of the teams, because those teams are not strong enough, from the economy to the team's strength, is not enough for Zhao Dong's requirements.

Now he is focusing on three teams: the Trail Blazers, the Lakers and the Heat.

The Lakers agreed to dismantle the OK combination. One of them and everyone else can become a bargaining chip. The remaining one will partner with Zhao Dong, and then spend huge sums of money to build a new winning lineup.

For the Trailblazers, the team is on the rise, the whole team can be a bargaining chip, let the Knicks choose, full of sincerity.

Even, in order to get the support of James Dawlan, the rich man Paul Allen privately promised Dawlan that he could lend the other party a sum of money for turnover.

This is very attractive to Daolan, he is in urgent need of cash, and his attitude is biased towards the trailblazers.

Of course, the transaction dominance is on Zhao Dong's side, so Zhao Dong's side is the focus of Paul Allen's research. For this reason, he did not hesitate to agree to support Ringer Wells for a large amount of money.

Regarding the Heat, although the boss Allison lost a lot of money like James Dowlan, he did not get involved in finance. Although the company's market value has fallen sharply, there is no problem with its operations, so it can still provide sufficient funds for the Heat.

With the support of the boss, Pat Riley gave the Knicks the same bargaining chip as the Blazers. As long as Zhao Dongken goes to Miami, the entire Heat can take away.

"Feilong, that's it, you choose these three teams." Wells did not give his own opinion, and left the decision to Zhao Dong.

"I'll call you after I think about it." Zhao Dong said.

Time entered July.

The Olympic Games are from September 15th to October 1st. Since July, the Olympic Games will be very strong, and CCTV often broadcasts relevant news.

Zhao Dong has not decided which team he wants to go to, anyway he is not in a hurry.

But he is not in a hurry, but these teams can be anxious. If his deal is not settled, other transactions of these teams will not be carried out at all, and the general managers in a hurry can't sleep at night.

Duncan and his agent were also anxious. Banks was so anxious that his mouth was blistering, and Duncan was so anxious that he could not even think about fishing.

On the Spurs' side, Popovich went to Duncan again, flew to Duncan's hometown in person, and re-opened a contract with 33 million yuan in three years.

But this contract, compared to the Lakers and Magic contracts, is too inferior.

Now I really want to trade Duncan. In addition to those teams, there is one more team, and that is the Eastern Nets.

Many teams want to trade Yao Yao, but the Nets cannot agree. Yao is the cornerstone of their team building when they debut, how can they trade the cornerstone?

In order to chase the championship, they even joined the ranks of chasing Zhao Dong, and Duncan is also one of their goals.

But Duncan still rejected all the teams. He is still waiting for Zhao Dong's trade before deciding where to go.

If Zhao Dong stays in the east, he will stay in the west, and if Zhao Dong goes to the west, then he will go to the east.

He doesn't want to stay smart with Zhao Dong, so the chance of reaching the finals will be relatively small.

But until now, Zhao Dong hasn't decided to move down, and Duncan and his agent are also very anxious.

But there are many people who are more anxious than them.

The news that these teams want to trade Zhao Dong has been stabbed by the media. The consequence is that the players of several teams have fallen into rumors that they will be traded.

These players, including the core of each team, naturally also include the OK combination.

O'Neill's mouth also bubbled up, and he was not interested in having beautiful women seduce him on the beach in Miami.

He doesn't want to be traded. As a superstar, being traded frequently can only show that he is of little importance. Otherwise, who would trade him?

Kobe is more anxious than O'Neal. He also doesn't want to leave Los Angeles. Although New York is good, it is not attractive to him. He does not want to be a bargaining chip for Zhao Dong.

His first sneaker contract is about to expire, and there is more than a year left. Adi’s current operations are very difficult. If he has not been asked to renew the contract, he might switch to Nike or Flying Dragon Sports. If these two years are used as a bargaining chip deal , It is likely to affect his commercial value, unable to get the best endorsement contract.

If it is another transaction, he still has the opportunity to pressure the management, but the Lakers want to trade Zhao Dong, he has no voice at all, because he will not care about his ideas, so he can only passively wait.

These managements are also very anxious. Zhao Dong’s deal has been delayed and the team cannot make other deals. Rumors of this deal have also made the players and the team separate. Once Zhao Dong cannot be traded, that’s right. The team is a kind of injury.

Ringo Wells was also anxious and was urged by these teams, but he did not dare to call Zhao Dong, so he could only continue to wait.

Of course, Zhao Dong is also analyzing these teams, and the lineups of these **** are in his hands.

The Lakers, the current lineup is the strongest, the OK combination will leave one, there will be some strength left after the transaction, the difficulty of rebuilding the lineup is the least, but the owner is not very rich, but the Lakers have good operating income and can afford luxury taxi.

The Heat, the boss is rich, the lineup is not good, Mourning's iron kidney is not good, the existing lineup is completely gone after the transaction is completed, and it is very difficult to rebuild 100%.

The Blazers, after moving from Rasheed Wallace to the Bulls, the lineup was no longer good. Without a star, an absolute civilian lineup, but they actually made the Western Conference Finals last year, which also caused many people to drop their jaws.

However, he was swept by the Lakers in the Western Conference finals. There was no resistance and exhausted the last strength of the Blazers. The lineup was obviously aging, and it was time to rebuild.

The advantage of this team is that the owner is super rich and willing to invest.

He is now going to complete six consecutive championships, so the point of consideration is that the team's lineup must have championship strength after the trade, which is even his only requirement.

From the lineup, he tends to go to the Lakers, just because the Lakers can still leave one of the OK combinations after the trade, mostly O'Neal.

Compared to the influence on fans, a super center is inferior to a top defender, because the defender can play more spectative games.

But teaming up with O'Neal is not what he wants. He doesn't want to be on the same team with a superstar.

Not to mention superstars, he doesn't even want the All-Stars very much.

Together with O'Neal, it is not difficult at all to win the championship. It is too easy. Their combination can beat the entire league with only half of their strength. Such a championship has no gold content at all.

Under this psychology, among the three teams, the Lakers were his last choice.

The Heat and Trail Blazers, the Heat of course are more attractive, Miami is a big market, Pat Riley's coaching ability is not in doubt.

The boss of the two teams, he is also more familiar with Alisson, he does not know Paul Allen.

However, he has played in the East for four seasons, and this time he wants to try the West.

But he won't make a decision so quickly. He has to delay a bit and see these teams. Who can stick to the end? He will go to the team with the most sincerity.

Time flows slowly, and for some people, life is like years.

At 8 o'clock in the morning on July 6th, he suddenly received a call from O'Neill.

"Flying dragon, please, you decide quickly." O'Neill begged.

Zhao Dong laughed and said, "Shark, what are you doing with your vacation and caring about my deal?"

"I'm your bargaining chip, don't you know?"

O'Neal's emotions erupted, and he was very aggrieved: "You go to the Lakers, I'll come to the Knicks, I'll decide for you."

Zhao Dong laughed again, and then laughed: "Don't worry, Shark, you can take your fakes at ease. Anyway, the Lakers are still playing in the Knicks, aren't you playing the same way?"

"You are too bastard!"

O'Neal cursed and hung up.

After he hung up, he called his agent David Falk, Jordan’s agent, and asked Falk to notify the Lakers that if the team did not strengthen, he applied for a deal.

After the Lakers got O'Neill's warning, they couldn't sit still.

After thinking about it, Jerry West contacted the boss Bass.

"Jerry, we have to withdraw, otherwise Shaq and Kobe's loyalty to the team will be exhausted, the hearts of the people will be lost, and the team will be difficult to lead." He said.

"Why hasn't Feilong decided yet? What is he waiting for?" Old Buss was a little annoyed.

"Who knows what he is waiting for? I think Feilong is a pervert, a perverted psychology, and a perverted strength." West complained authentically.

"Well, Jerry, as you said, we will withdraw. I will call Shaq and Kobe and need to calm their emotions." Old Buss said.

"OK." West said.

The first thing they couldn’t hold was the Lakers. The Lakers were sitting on an increasingly powerful OK combination. In fact, they had the smallest desire to chase Zhao Dong. After receiving O’Neill’s warning, they decided not to stay anymore and started their own. Reinforce the transaction.

Secondly, the Nets also decided to withdraw, and they began to chase Duncan with all their strength.

As for the Heat and Trail Blazers, they are still contacting Ringo Wells, and their boss also contacted Zhao Dong every once in a while, chatting and feelings.

On July 10th, the Heat can't hold it anymore.

The freezing period in the free market has ended, and the transaction has officially started. If they drag on, all the fish in the free market will be caught by other teams. Even if Zhao Dong is traded, they cannot build a new lineup. They also withdraw. NS.

Ringo Wells informed Zhao Dong that the Lakers, the Heat and the Nets have retired and must make a decision. If no decision is made, no matter which team they go to, there is no way to build a new lineup.

"Talk to the Blazers and the Knicks." Zhao Dong smiled.

The Blazers are also good. The boss has the heart of a championship. He doesn't care about the market anymore. The championship is his only pursuit.

"marvelous!"

Upon receiving the notice from Wells, the Blazers' management was boiling, crazy, and they seemed to see the championship beckoning to them.

"This is great news, I'm so lucky!"

Paul Allen also learned of the news later, he was more excited than the management.

The boss wants to trade Zhao Dong. Neil Grant is very disappointed. He brought the losing pick Zhao Dong to New York and brought the Knicks a dynasty for four consecutive championships. But now he has to trade the **** of basketball. This is for him. It is extremely painful.

Moreover, what trading bargaining chip does the Blazers have?

Damon Stoudemire, the little flying squirrel? Or the old Pippen?

But no way, Zhao Dong is going to the Blazers, and the Knicks have no other choice.

This is also good, when Zhao Dong came to the Knicks, the Knicks paid nothing and picked it up for nothing. Now that he leaves, the Knicks get nothing, and he can accept it.

Anyway, the boss is not enterprising at all, the Knicks will become the boss's blood bank, the lineup is almost okay.

The bargaining chip was quickly reached. The Knicks paid Zhao Dong + Marion to obtain the Blazers’ main power center, Sabonis, the best player in Europe, historic small forward Pi Erye Pippen, and the Blazers in 2001 and The unprotected first round of 2002.

Sabonis has a one-year contract left. Next year’s salary is 11.2 million U.S. dollars, and Pippen’s next year’s salary is 13.75 million U.S. dollars. Together, the two people’s contracts are about the same as Zhao Dong’s next year’s salary (24.42 million U.S. dollars). Match transactions.

But these two people combined can't even exchange Zhao Dong's arm. For the future, the Knicks asked the Trail Blazers for two first-round picks. Marion, who performed poorly in the playoffs, became the trade two. The chips for the sign.

The Knicks got two future first-round signings, which can be considered as making certain arrangements for the future. At the same time, Sabonis can make room after playing next season. Only Pippen’s contract is very large, but it is far smaller than that. Zhao Dong's future contract, so this deal, Knicks boss James Dawlan is still satisfied.

After he nodded, the transaction was quickly delivered to David Stern's table, waiting for his approval.

"Western Trail Blazers?"

Stern stared at the transaction application and fell into deep thought.

In the West, there are the Lakers. If Zhao Dong goes to the West, he will enter the playoffs next year. The battle for this year's Finals will repeat itself, which is of course good.

But the east will also weaken, showing a situation where the west is strong and the east is weak.

And this is not what he wants to see. The one-sided situation in the finals, he really doesn't want to see it again, like this year's finals, although the game was fierce and beautiful, but the Lakers were swept away, he also thought it was a pity.

"Tim Duncan has never decided which team to go to. I heard that the Nets have been chasing him. Why not let him go to the East?"

When this idea comes together, he can't hold it down anymore.

If Duncan goes to the Nets and joins forces with Yao of China, then the Nets will have the strength to compete with the Philadelphia digital team’s email combination. The Eastern Conference will also have a battle in the playoffs, no matter which team reaches the finals. , And will not be without the strength to fight back.

Twenty minutes later, the transaction concerning Zhao Dong passed.

"marvelous!"

"Immediately hold a press conference to announce this good news to the media and our fans."

After receiving the news from the alliance, the Blazers' management instantly cheered.

Ten minutes later, the Blazers and Knicks official website first announced the deal.

In New York, there was a lot of scolding, from the boss James Dowlan to the entire management team, and they were scolded **** by the extremely angry Knicks fans and Zhao Dong fans.

Many emotional Knicks fans even vented their anger on Zhao Dong and burned his jersey.

But these fans are only a handful of extreme fans. The vast majority of fans are sensible because they know that this stupid deal was made by the boss, not Zhao Dong who is leaving New York.

In Portland, the Blazers fans are the exact opposite. They praised management and owner Paul Allen as a flower.

At the same time, one hour after the news was announced, Zhao Dong's jerseys were sold out in Portland, as were the various styles of Silver Devil sneakers.

The next day, on the morning of July 12, the Blazers general manager Witister contacted Zhao Dong, and the two parties had a friendly conversation and communication.

The main content is lineup construction.

Currently the Blazers have the remaining lineup, the main players are the main point guard Damon Stoudemire, the main shooting guard Steve Smith, the main center and the main small forward have been traded to the Knicks.

Flying Squirrel is 27 years old, the No. 7 pick in the first round of 1995. Last season, he averaged 30 minutes, 12.5 points, 3.1 rebounds, 5.2 assists, 1 steals and 1.9 turnovers. Although he is not very young, his state is in decline.

Steve Smith is 31 years old and the No. 5 pick in the first round of 1991. He has played 20+ performances in three seasons. But last season he only had 14.9 points, 3.8 rebounds and 2.5 assists. He has average defense and is in the same state as the Flying Squirrel. middle.

This back line combination, missed the first-class, barely second-rate, meets Iverson and Kobe, as well as Marbury, will definitely be blown up.

Important rotation players include iron-blooded power forward Brian Grant, German Schramf and so on.

In terms of potential, there was Bonch Wells, the 11th show in the first round in 1998, and Jermaine O'Neal, the 17th show in the first round in 1996, with Zhao Dong in the same year.

Regardless of the poor lineup of the Blazers, the salary is actually very high. For several tens of millions and close to tens of millions of annual salary, they have to pay a lot of luxury tax every year.

For example, Brian Grant, next year is $8.9 million, not much worse than the contract the Spurs gave Duncan.

Bunch Wells played for two seasons. Last season, he averaged 17.6 minutes of playing time, 8.8 points and 2.8 rebounds per game, and he was decent enough to become a qualified bench player.

And O'Neal, in the four seasons with the Trail Blazers, had little chance in the first three years.

The Blazers' inside line is not bad for him, and he is a high school student. After four years of playing, he is only 22 years old this year, one year younger than Zhao Dong, and he is not trusted by head coach Dunleavy, so the chances are indeed limited.

Last season, the team was short of people on the inside. Boss Rasheed Wallace ran to hug Jordan’s thigh~www.readwn.com~ O’Neal got some opportunities, but only played 12 minutes off the bench without any tactical status. There is no chance of shooting, averaging 3.9 points and 3.3 rebounds per game.

O'Neal's rookie contract is three plus one, and the last year is a player option. He has been executed and is now a restricted free agent.

General Manager Wester is not planning to renew his contract. He is not optimistic about Oscar, and coach Dunleavy is even less optimistic about Oscar.

But because Zhao Dong's transaction has been delayed until now, he doesn't know who will be left in the free market. For the sake of insurance, he has been keeping Xiao Ao.

He has a contract from the Pacers to Xiao Ao in his hands, with a three-year contract of 19 million US dollars, which far exceeds the value of his assessment of Xiao Ao.

If Zhao Dong is traded in the end, but Xiao Ao is not needed, then let him go.

To be honest, he is the agent who has been fooling Xiaoao and Xiaoao.

But his reason for flicking is also quite attractive, that is, when the Blazers traded to Zhao Dong, a few main players will definitely not be able to keep it, Xiao Ao will get a lot of opportunities with the Blazers, and it is even possible to be the main player.
