Chapter 315 Transactions after the All-Stars
Kobe's face is very bad. In front of the many people, Kobe really wants to prove himself. After all, this is the underworld that he once fought, but he lost in this game and lost in a defeated manner, although this is just an All-Star game.
Except for Kobe, others in the West do not pay much attention to the outcome of this game. When Sriya gave the trophy that symbolized MVP to Jordan, it marked the official end of this All-Star.
After the All-Star ended, Li Lei and his teammates returned to Chicago to prepare for the following season. The Bulls' schedule was not friendly because they were back-to-back in a row.
During this period, all kinds of deals were born in the league. In addition to the Celtics, who exchanged Joe Johnson for Tony Delk and Rodney Rogers, as in history, this was a very stupid deal. Joe Johnson became an All-Star in the Suns, and the two traded by the Celtics completely turned into trash.
The Mavericks and the Nuggets also traded, and they sent Uncle Huo Er and Tim Hardaway, and got the deal Lafrenz, Nick Van Exel and Avery Johnson. It was seen as the impact of the Mavericks on the championship. The three people traded over made the Mavericks' bench deeper.
If the Bulls are in the West, they need to worry about it. However, if the Bulls are not in the West, their competitiveness in the East cannot be compared with that in the West. Otherwise, James would not have been hacked by so many people.
There was also a deal on the Bulls. John Gabriel, general manager of Orlando Magic, came to Klaus and wanted to trade Ewing. Ewing has signed a contract with the Magic for less than 4 million for two years, and averaged 6.7 points per game this season, which can be said to be a great value for money, but the entire Magic team looked down on Ewing and felt that the Gorillas were too soft and they needed a tough guy to keep the scene.
John Gabriel shouted all over the streets for a long time, just like when Li Lei was not reborn in the Lakers that season, when he exchanged Kuzma and Danny Green for the entire league, he had no fucks until the end. Gabriel was also in this embarrassing situation. After a long time of going around, John Gabriel approached the Bulls.
"We want Charles, and Charles will have a huge effect around Grant and Tracy." The Magic wants Charles Oakley, who is indeed harder than Ewing. Like his apprentice, he has the same force value as Stephen Jackson in the NBA. In front of two good babies, McGrady and Hill, it is indeed better than Ewing, although Oakley is not as beautiful as Ewing in the data.
Klaus tapped the table with his finger and looked at Gabriel with a fat face. Because of Li Lei, the Bulls are in a good situation now. Not only have they gotten rid of the dilemma of the previous seasons, but now they have become a championship-level team.
"I remember Patrick's contract is not equal to Charles. If we only change, we will suffer a loss. After all, Charles is our spiritual pillar." Jerry Klaus really opened his eyes and told a joke. Although Oakley's playing time is similar to Ewing, he plays a more intimidating role on the court, just like Ranbill during the Detroit Bad Boys Legion, staying in the ban area. If you dare to come over to the inside, you want you to look good.
John Gabriel really wanted to pat his butt and leave, but he held back. The Magic playoff situation was not very clear. Hill and McGrady both have the potential to be a superstar, but they lack a kind of iron-blooded temperament, which Ewing did not have. Although he is a conscientious guy, this kind of conscientious work cannot save the team in times of crisis.
"I can give out a first round of this year, how about it?" The Magic are currently in the playoff team, and this first round pick is basically not at the forefront. Jerry Klaus does not dislike him. Li Lei's success gave Jerry Klaus the idea of continuing to scrape the prize. Rookies are much lower than those of the stars who traded. Even if they lose water, they will not waste too much space.
Jerry Klaus nodded, the deal was made.
Ewing joined Orlando as a free agent this season. He really wants to win a championship. The other three of the four centers have better data than him in all aspects. Moreover, they all have MVP and championships. If you don’t talk about MVP, you don’t even have a championship. Ewing really doesn’t know how long his condition can last. In Orlando, there is no sign of winning the championship. Hill and McGrady are talented, but can they lead the Magic to win the championship? Ewing doesn’t believe it.
But for the dream of winning the championship, Ewing never gave up. Even if he was given up by the Knicks and Supersonics, he never gave up himself. This is the gorilla, the four centers that will always rank fourth.
"Patrick, I just came back from John Gabriel, and they made a deal with Chicago, and you and Charles Oakley swap homeowners, that's to say you're going to Chicago to report."
Chicago Ewing put down the basketball and his eyes became clearer. He was no longer as turbid as before. David Falke looked at Ewing and felt very sad. Although he had many stars, the real superstars were Jordan and Ewing. The others were all-stars and could not reach the level of superstars.
Ewing went to Chicago and was really one step ahead of the championship. Of course, Jerry Klaus was willing to trade. A large part of the reason was that Ewing's experience could help Chandler, and the opponent's strength was definitely better than Oakley, although this guy was very sad.
Li Lei and other players of the Bulls also learned the news. Li Lei was very happy that the Magic could give the first warm presence in the NBA. Now O'Neal, Ewing, McGrady, Howard, no player can live in their cold-blooded team. This is the most inhumane team in the NBA. There is no retired jersey in the sky above their arena.
"Wow, has that soft boy come to Chicago? I still can't forget the scene of the 93-94 finals. He was pressed on the floor and rubbed by Dameng. That was the closest Knicks to the championship. As a result, he used a hit rate of 43%, proving that he was a soft boy and was hit by Dameng with a hit rate of 51% on the opponent." As a New Yorker, Ate will naturally not forget that final.
