Chapter 386 Trade, 1997 Spurs draft pick!

(Damn it, is it because my computer is poisoned or the starting point is too stuck? The author can't enter the background, which can drive people crazy. The most painful thing about staying up late is that he has clearly finished typing, but he just can't upload it. In the end, he can only keep refreshing the webpage)

In the NBA, the completion of a transaction is never a simple matter. It does not mean that several players can be exchanged equally, especially for superstar players. The issues that need to be considered are all aspects. Therefore, in the history of the NBA, it can be said that there are countless transactions every year, but in these transactions, the superstar level transactions are quite limited. The most famous one is Chamberlain's arrival at the Lakers, Jabbar's arrival at the Lakers, and Moses Malone's arrival at the 76ers. These three major ball-level transactions can be said to be the most famous superstar level or above in the history of NBA. In addition to these three major transactions, Drexler's recent trip to the Rockets and Barkley to the Suns. Of course, Lin Han's arrival at the Lakers is also considered. After all, although Lin Han was a rookie at the beginning, he was also considered a recognized superstar player.

Why are there so many transactions in NBA history, but such superstar transactions rarely appear, and even in several years or even decades, there may not be one? Of course, every superstar player is the treasure of his own team. Except for the last resort, no team will trade the superstars of his own team. If Chamberlain was not in Philadelphia, he felt that he had no chance of making any progress and would never win the championship, and he resolutely wanted to leave, Philadelphia would replace him.

?Of course not. If Jabbar had won MVP in the Bucks for 6 years, but the championship was misty. This self-esteem super center thinks that the Bucks are no longer worthy of him, so they let go of everything and want to escape. Will the Bucks trade? Of course not, for example, Moses Malone. If the Rockets had not lost again and again in the finals, the first center back then felt that he might need to hold a stronger team to win the championship and choose East Travel, would the Rockets trade him? Of course not!

This is the case for these three players in the king-level football team, and the other three superstars Barkley, Drexler and Lin Han. Some of these three were traded in their prime and some were traded in their late years, and some were traded in their prime and some were traded in their prime and young people. Whether it was the grand grand or Drexler or Lin Han, their team had no intention of trading them. Whether it was Barkley, Drexler or Lin Han, if it weren't for their insistence on leaving, the team they were in would never have thought of trading them.

Therefore, in NBA, the value of a superstar player is definitely worthy of recognition. For a team, if they can keep their superstars, they would rather replace their team's head coach and general manager!

Superstar trades are not common in NBA, except for the team's unwillingness to let go. There is another reason that is equally important, that is, the choice of superstar players, what is the choice of superstar players? That is, if the team really has to. When the team's superstar must leave, almost all teams will respect the choice of superstars in the team very much. The Jazz respects Lin Han very much. Let Lin Han choose the team he wants to go to, and the Suns also respect Barkley's choice very much. Even the Trail Blazers respect Drexler's choice quite respects. As for

Chamberlain and Jabbar the same were the same back then. With the reputation of these two, there were many teams that could afford the price, and there were many teams that wanted these two. Why did they go to the Lakers? And why did their team let them go to the Lakers? Isn’t it because of their own choice? Even Moses Malone, who signed first and then changed, eventually joined when he left the Rockets, defeated their arch rivals 76ers in the Eastern Conference finals that year. Why did the Rockets release people to the arch rivals 76ers? Isn’t it because the 76ers are strong, does Moses Malone want to go?

The saying that business in NBA is business is indeed correct, but it is invalid for superstar players. In the history of NBA, this saying is invalid for superstar transactions. Most superstar players will definitely have better next home than the previous one, because most superstars can choose their own destiny, and of course they will choose a new owner that is most beneficial to them!

NBA is a commercial league. In theory, everything in this league, including players, belongs to goods and goods. However, when the player's level reaches a certain level, the players can still control their own destiny, at least much stronger than those role players and ordinary All-Star players.

The reason why Barkley's deal has been delayed is that there are many teams who want Barkley. Just like when Jabbar was leaving the Bucks and the Suns were leaving the 76ers, there were too many teams who wanted to get them. Even the Lakers wanted to get Barkley, let alone other teams, and there were many teams that could give chips for this player, and it could even be said to be many. After all, when trading Barkley, the Suns did not think about trading Jordan, Olajuwon, or players of David Robinson and Lin Han. Since you know that you can't get such an equivalent superstar, you may not even have star players who are not urgently needed for a trade.

Those who can trade, such as Spreeville is also an All-Star player. Although the Warriors also want Barkley, they will not trade with Spreeville, and the Kings are the same. They will not trade Richmond for Barkley. In this case, if you can choose, the Suns cannot trade Linhan they want, of course they are not willing to trade Barkley. This is of course. Even if Barkley cannot bring them a championship, the players they exchange for cannot bring them a championship. In this case, why bother? It is just because of Jerry Bass' trouble, Barkley no longer wants to stay in the Suns, so he has to trade.

This is also one of the reasons why many teams are willing to choose the next player for the superstars they want to trade, because it is impossible to trade an equivalent superstar back. In NBA history, there has been almost no such thing as two superstars swapping their bosses. In this case, the superstar trade will lose no matter how they change. Or the chips most teams have similar chips. Since most teams have similar chips. As long as everyone is not too much grudges, the team will certainly not throw their superstars into a garbage team and make others criticize them for being petty. This will affect the team's reputation for signing free agents in the future. Therefore, gradually everyone has agreed and superstar trades become interesting.

Because of adding a superstar player's own choice, there should have been many teams who wanted it, and there were many teams who could afford to make chips. The requirements of the team on the trading side were generally not high, so such a transaction was extremely slow.

Take Barkley's deal, Barkley wants to go to the Rockets. This is what Barkley said at the beginning. Although the Bulls want him, Barkley thinks the Bulls are not reliable, because this year the West is clearly the Rockets dominant. With the Jazz, it is not very difficult for the Rockets to enter the Finals even without him. With him, it is almost a foregone conclusion that the Rockets enter the Finals. After the Rockets enter the Finals, who can compare to this team in the East? Bulls? Don't joke.

In recent years, Jordan has been afraid of Olajuwon's regular season killing. Although the result in the playoffs is unknown, Barkley joins. The Rockets will never lose to the Bulls no matter how you look at it. In Barkley's opinion, the Rockets are a better choice than the Bulls. And the other thing is that although he and Jordan are friends with good relationships, Jordan is too strong in control. In comparison, Olajuwon is much easier to get along with. He is sure to be the second or even the third leader when he goes to the Bulls, but when he goes to the Rockets, everyone is really on par with the same side, so he will not lose points.

It can be said that when Barkley wants to leave the Suns, the Rockets are the first and even the only choice. If he doesn't go to the Rockets, he might as well stay with the Suns. In addition, whether the team leader Olajuwon, Drexler or the team's head coach Tom Janovic is very interested in him. Under such circumstances, everyone can get together. It's just obvious that although Barkley wants to go to the Rockets, the Rockets are willing to ask Barkley, and even the Suns don't mind sending Barkley to the Rockets, the key is that the Rockets don't have enough chips! The Rockets are not without people. In fact, the Suns don't pick them now. Anyway, they have been rebuilt. Are the players traded as

It doesn't matter if you play in the year. The key is that you have young and potential. It's better to have some good picks. Do the Rockets have such players? Of course, there are Cassel and Robert Hawley, aren't they all like this? But the Rockets are just reluctant to let these people go. Robert Hawley is okay. When the Rockets play power forward now, Barkley will certainly not have his position. The key is Cassel, which is a player that the Rockets are definitely unwilling to give up. Although they are young people, they are of great value to the Rockets and are the most stable ball control point outside Drexler. This is to prevent a team from using it like when Lin Han forced Drexler to death last season's playoffs.

It is precisely because of this that the deal ended up in a huge deadlock. If the Rockets were willing to give their first round picks, as well as Cassel and Hawley, the deal would have been completed long ago. However, it was because of Cassel that the deal was finally delayed until now. The Suns and the Rockets used a lot of arrangements and combinations, but they could not find the possibility of multi-party transactions. It is not that no team is willing to trade multiple parties, but that it is a bit embarrassing that this deal is clearly extremely beneficial to the Rockets. Only the fools of the Western Conference team will help the Rockets and the Suns complete the transaction. Even the Eastern Conference team is not willing to see the transaction complete!

In this era of heroic rule, what kind of scene will the Rockets have after Barkley are not unimaginable, so, so so many general managers of NBA teams gathered in Phoenix, do you think it is really for the purpose of trading Barkley? Of course, everyone must want to get Barkley to their own team, but what if they can't do it? Of course, it's a mess! Jerry West and the others are going to make trouble! As long as Jerry West and the Bulls general manager Klaus stand there, which team wants to help the Rockets and Suns complete this transaction, it still needs to consider whether their team is qualified.

Of course Lin Han didn't know about this kind of thing. It was too dark. If Lin Han hadn't asked the Lakers that there was no show and why Jerry West stayed in Phoenix for so long, this was the inside story that Kupchek told him, but Kupchek and Bulls general manager Klaus were just making trouble. Although Jerry West wanted to make trouble, who made Jerry Bass do such a thing? Jerry Bass was so good, and he patted his butt and left. But Jerry West couldn't do it. Colangelo, the general manager of the Suns, had a lot of energy in the NBA at all. If Jerry West also patted his butt and left, the general manager of the Suns would aim his anger and hatred towards Jerry Bass at the Lakers.

This is not good. The reason why people are holding people in a flower sedan chair is certainly clear. Simply put, Jerry West owes the Suns a favor on behalf of the Lakers, staying there to calm Colangolo's anger, and paying back the favor. Therefore, even if many people want to prevent the completion of this transaction, everyone's goals are still different. The Bulls are pure trouble, belonging to the chaotic and evil camp, while the Lakers are making trouble, and they also want to help the Suns get better chips, which is chaos and kindness. As for those who staying like the Spurs **Vic, they can see if they can make profits from this transaction without making trouble. This is a chaos and neutral camp.

When so many messy things happen in a deal, it is conceivable that the reason why this deal becomes so slow, especially because of anger and unhappiness. Colangelo did not use his connections to help the Rockets and Barkley complete the deal. With the Rockets' connections in the league, how could it be able to compete with so many big shots? Moreover, most teams trade superstars. Although superstars allow superstars to choose their own teams, there is no team that is really generous enough to help even chips. Even when Lin Han trades, the Lakers traded Lin Han's chips by themselves. The Jazz only provides a list, as for help? Sorry. That's absolutely not.

In this case, the Rockets can't compare to the Lakers. Even after getting these inside stories from Kupchek, Lin Han even wondered whether the deal would die so early on the trade deadline, and this possibility actually seems to be not small at all.

Although Lin Han predicted more than once whether the transaction might end up prematurely, the transaction was finally completed. Although the process was quite bumpy, the transaction was finally completed.

Phoenix Suns sent out the team's superstar Buckley, the team's swinger Cebaros, who renewed the contract last season and the team's second-round draft pick in 1996

The Rockets sent out the team's point guard Sam Kassel, Robert Hawley and Mr. Maxville and Carl Herrera, the 1995 first-round draft pick and 1997 first-round draft pick.

The Spurs are sending out the team's substitute point guard, former All-Star point guard Dougreaves, and guard Winnie Denagro who averages 15+4 per game this season, as well as small forward Willy Anderson, whose contract is about to expire, and the team's first-round draft pick in 1997

The Lakers gave the 1995 draft pick and the first round draft pick that they received from the Spurs this summer and the team's first round draft pick in 1996.

In the end, the Phoenix Suns got Sam Kassel, Robert Hawley from the Rockets, Willy Anderson and Carl Herrera from the Spurs, of course, the first-round draft picks from the Rockets in 1995, 1997, and the trade from the Lakers to get the Spurs' 1995 draft picks and the Lakers' own first-round draft picks in 1996.

The Rockets got Barkley from the Suns, Dougreaves from the Spurs defenders and Winidner Nagro from the Spurs

The Spurs got two quasi-All-star swingers that their team was short of.

As for the Lakers, they won the Spurs' 1997 draft pick and the Suns' 1996 second round pick.

From this deal, we can clearly feel that the Suns have gained a bunch of potential young players and players with expired contracts. This is to be prepared to rebuild, and that is especially true for those four first-round draft picks.

As for the Rockets, sending off Maxville, who was unwilling to play as a substitute on his team, has reduced the team's detonation point. As for Cassel and Hawley, there is no way. The Suns asked for the names of the people they wanted, and they couldn't give it to them. Fortunately, they finally got two defenders Dougreaves and Denagro who could control the ball from the Spurs, and it didn't seem to be a loss. After all, they got the biggest player in this deal.

As for the Spurs, there was no loss. They sent away a substitute point guard who couldn't play and a double-athlete defender De Nagro, who was not very good at defending, and his team was in urgent need of all-around swingman Cebaros who could average 20 points per game and Maxville, a league-wide slasher who was very good at playing. As for the first round picks in 1997 that they paid? With the strength of the Spurs, the draft picks in 1995, 1996 and 1997 were basically in the second half. 1995 has been given to the Lakers, and they cannot give the first round for two consecutive years. So they can only give in 1997, and

Compared with 1995, the value of 1997 is much lower. You should know that these years have been the year of draft picks. From O'Neal in 1992 to Lin Han in 1993 to Hill this year, the talent of American basketball has exploded in recent years. The year of draft picks is not only about the players in the front, but also about the players in the middle and back of the first round. For the Spurs, 1995 and 1997 are both the second half. Obviously, 1995 was worth more, and even 1995 was given away, not to mention that for Cebaros, a player with all-star level, he gave away the first round of 1997. In the Spurs' opinion, this is definitely a profit.

Of course, the Suns felt that they had no loss, and the Rockets and the Spurs felt that they had made a profit, so obviously, the only one who lost was of course the Lakers.

Because of the big pit Jerry Bass dug. Jerry West paid back the favor and gave a more valuable draft pick in 1995. The first round pick from the Spurs in 1995 was the Spurs' draft pick in 1997, which was a loss. In addition, he used his first round in 1996 to exchange for the Suns' second round in 1996. This is also a loss. You should know that if 1997 was the Draft Little Year, then the value of the first round pick in the second half was about the same as the second round, but from another perspective. If 1996 was also the Draft Little Year, then the Lakers used the first round to exchange the Suns' second round. Judging from the recent explosion of American basketball talents like the 84 generation, it is probably the Draft Little Year for a long time after 1996.

However, who made Jerry Bass do something too big? The Suns would not have traded their leading players to rebuild it. It was because of the old Buss that the Suns became so miserable. If Jerry West was unbalanced, Croneglo's anger would have really happened. Moreover, for the Lakers, with a core like Lin Han, they actually had little requirements for the draft, especially for these drafts that were destined to be in the second half. The most important thing for the Lakers is the free market! Moreover, the free market is also the stage for the Lakers to maximize their energy, so it is actually not impossible to use draft picks to calm the anger of the Suns. Moreover, if it weren't for Jerry West, Croneglo might not have sold his face to accept the Lakers' apology.

When Barkley's transaction was completed, Lin Han was extremely moved when he saw the news from the newspaper at home.

This is not because after Barkley went to the Rockets, the Rockets' strength has become the biggest favorite to win the championship, but as a superstar, an MVP player who is more powerful than Lin Han's trading at that time would be so shabby when trading.

In Lin Han's opinion, a player like Barkley's transaction must at least have five parties and six parties. No matter how poor the number of people joining the transaction must be, but what makes Lin Han feel a little regretful is that this transaction only involves less than ten people, which is much worse than Lin Han's transaction.

Obviously, in Lin Han's opinion, players of their level will definitely be earth-shaking if they want to trade.

If Jerry West knew Lin Han’s thoughts at this time, he would probably have laughed to death. In the history of the NBA, there are already many big deals like Barkley. After all, there are not many superstar deals in the history of the NBA. Even if there are, most superstar deals are not as greedy as the Suns and Jazz. In fact, the Jazz trades Lin Han and Suns trades Barkley are extremely greedy in all superstar deals in history.

Of course, no matter what, the deal was finally completed. Regardless of whether Lin Han's opinion was shabby or not, Barkley eventually went to the Rockets.

At this time, seeing all the reports that were praising the Rockets, Lin Han was speechless for a moment. Although the Rockets are indeed the strongest team in the NBA, one team has three superstars, and such a lineup is even bigger than last year's Jazz.

As the United States today said, the biggest enemy of this team is no longer the opponent, but themselves. It depends on whether the Rockets can build the team's tactical system as soon as possible. If the team can be integrated into shape, this team will be invincible in recent seasons, and even the Bulls will avoid its edge.

Therefore, after the transaction was completed, the Houston Chronicle even wrote directly on the front page of its newspaper, "The Houston Dynasty is Coming" on its front page headline

Lin Han was really shocked when he saw this title. If the Houston Dynasty wanted a team called a dynasty, it would at least have to win several championships? According to the most standard algorithm, three consecutive championships are the basis. Obviously, the Rockets were already thinking about the three consecutive championships at this time.

Moreover, after the Houston Chronicle put out such a title, almost no one in the major media in the United States opposed it. This is a terrifying lineup. Olajuwon, Barkley, Drexler, if it were two years ago, this would be the combination of the West's No. 1 center forward, the West's No. 1 power forward, and the West's No. 1 shooting guard. This is a rhythm that is going against the sky. Even now, Drexler may not be as strong as two years ago, but it is not much worse. Drexler has even gone further in the style of play. In addition, Barry and Olajuwon are still at the peak, and even these three people can last for three years without any problem at all.

Not to mention that the American media has no doubts about the title Houston. When Lin Han returned to the team and returned to the team's training hall, even the Lakers felt like a storm was coming.

Although the Lakers have never shouted the slogan to win the championship, or Lin Han called it the entire team, everyone knows that Lin Han is not here for money, but for the championship and honor.

In fact, the Lakers also trust Lin Han very much, especially Lakers players. Now they almost have a blind sense of trust in Lin Han, believing that as long as the ball is given to Lin Han, Lin Han can lead them to win.

And now, even if you are not a player of the Lakers now, Wang Zhizhi can feel the pressure faced by Lakers players at this time!

Not only the pressure faced by Lakers players, but the same is true for the Lakers coaching staff. At least recently, the Lakers training ground, which has a very good atmosphere due to winning streaks, has a very depressing feeling today!

Moreover, Lin Han knew that when Barkley's deal was completed, this feeling of depression was definitely not only for the Lakers, Bulls, Magic, Supersonics and other teams!

"It's all our boss' big mouth"

After everyone from the Lakers came to the training hall, the atmosphere on the team was a bit not so right, but after Eddie Jones complained, the Lakers' training ground soon burst into laughter and the atmosphere was also relaxed.

Looking at the Lakers players who became funny at this time, Carell and the Magician were all left with a bitter smile.

I have to say that Eddie Jones is really saying it right. The depression and pressure that so many strong teams in the league are really brought by Old Bass.

If Bass knew his masterpiece, would this Lakers boss be happy? (To be continued, please search for Astronomy, novels are better, updated and faster!
