Chapter 81 Howard’s trade plan and the Lakers’ new players(1/4)
"Ding, would you like to use the transaction searcher to search for all Dwight Howard's transactions?"
Yes.
After Du Kang confirmed using the trade searcher for Howard, 7 trading plans appeared on the system interface soon.
In other words, only 7 NBA teams are interested in trading Howard.
"Isn't this too realistic?"
Du Kang smiled.
This is the number one center in the league.
But...it's understandable.
In fact, Howard not only refused to sign an early contract with the Lakers, he actually refused to sign an early contract with any NBA team.
He hopes that his next contract will be to play for a team that can make him happy.
He is very happy with the Lakers now, but not completely happy yet.
Faced with such Howard, even if many teams are interested in him, they dare not trade him. In exchange for not guaranteeing a contract renewal, you can only pay a lot of chips to obtain the right to use Howard for half a season.
Most normal teams in the NBA would not do this kind of thing.
So are these trading plans abnormal trading plans?
Du Kang began to look at these plans seriously.
The first trading plan was proposed by the New York Knicks, hoping to trade Amar'e Stoudemire for Howard in a one-to-one exchange.
After Stoudemire was injured many times in the Knicks, he lost the boss battle with Anthony, and now his contract has completely become a garbage contract.
Du Kang tried to ask the New York Knicks to send Jr. Smith, and the New York Knicks agreed.
Du Kang tried again to get the New York Knicks to send one of their first-round picks, but this time New York agreed.
Two first-round picks, this time the New York Knicks agreed.
Three first-round picks, this time the Knicks turned them down.
The New York Knicks' bottom line for Howard is Stoudemire Jr. Smith and two first-round picks.
Howard's real value is definitely more than that, but for Howard who only has half-year rights to use it, the Knicks' bargaining chips are actually not low. Obviously, the Knicks think their team is attractive enough for Howard to renew his contract.
And now that the Knicks are in the top four in the Eastern Conference under the leadership of Anthony, the Knicks feel that the value of their two future first-round picks is not that great.
If Howard really only plays for half a year and leaves, he won't lose much. Moreover, the combination of Howard and Anthony may have some good surprises even if they only play for one year in the playoffs.
"Interesting!"
"The trade searcher can also test the bottom line of the trading team!"
Du Kang looked at the other three plans.
The Nets are willing to trade Humphries and Gerald Wallace for Howard.
These two contracts of the Nets are still junk contracts.
Du Kang tried to get the Nets to give away draft picks, but in the end the Nets were only willing to add one more first-round pick.
"This is a bit stingy."
One first-rounder and two junk contracts in exchange for Howard.
This definitely won’t work.
"But it's understandable."
The Knicks are confident in their charm.
The Nets...it's normal not to have such confidence.
Wasn't Jim Chao also blindly superstitious about the appeal of Los Angeles and the Lakers when he forcibly brought Howard over?
Seeing the Nets, Du Kang can guess that the other transactions must also be junk contract transactions.
Howard's contract is very large, almost 20 million. For example, the Rockets, the Lakers' playoff rivals, their eldest brother Harden's contract this year is only more than 5 million, plus the second eldest son Jeremy Lin, the third eldest Parsons, and the fourth eldest Asik
That's enough.
I'm afraid it's not crazy to trade so many people for Howard's half-year rights to use it.
If a team in the playoffs wants to offer such a contract, even if they don't sell the entire team like the Rockets, if they don't get the boss, they still have to get the second and third, which will strain their muscles and bones, destroy the team's chemical reaction, and dare not move.
.
Teams with big fish belly may not be able to offer such bargaining chips. Teams that can afford such chips basically have junk contracts.
It is indeed like this.
In fact, these teams are not even willing to go out in the first round, and they are stingier than the Nets. After all, the Nets can make the playoffs, and the first round is not that valuable.
Moreover, the Nets still have some confidence in themselves. They are going to New York soon. They are considered a wealthy family, and they may be able to keep Howard.
"Huh?"
Just when Du Kang thought they were all junk contracts, the last trade offer surprised him.
The Celtics are willing to trade Pierce Buss for Howard Ebanks.
"Really or not, Pierce is not for sale to the Celtics?"
This made Du Kang not know what to say, and even thought that there was something wrong with the system.
After thinking about it, Du Kang removed Pierce and replaced him with Garnett.
"Ding, are you sure to trade Dwight Howard for Kevin Garnett and Brandon Bass?"
"..."
Damn it!
Du Kang thought he had discovered a super big news!
Pierce and Garnett are not for sale to the Celtics!!
After being frightened, Du Kang quickly chose No.
Don't really trade Howard with a trembling hand.
"I traded Howard just now just to try out my highest authority, but I didn't really want to trade Howard."
Well, I definitely didn’t change my words because I was dissatisfied with the trading chips of these rotten fish and shrimps.
He really has no intention of trading Howard.
As soon as he got the highest authority of the team, he didn't give Jim Shu the face and directly traded Howard. What did Jim Shu think?
Jim Shu has always felt that he cheated Howard and failed to fulfill his promise to Howard, and owed Howard a lot. Now he is still thinking about how to keep Howard.
Although Howard is not so loyal to him in his heart, he has always been loyal to him on the surface. He has a good relationship with Arab League, Nash, and even Iverson, who is new to the team.
Arab League, Nash, and Iverson, these are his true confidants.
From the perspective of other Lakers players, he has four confidants in the team. These three people plus Howard are his four confidants.
Even Howard was more loyal than these three people. He led A Lian, Nash and Iverson Happy to torture Kobe off the court, and worked hard for him on the court.
He is really going to trade Howard.
The Lakers locker room really collapsed.
Howard, who plays a positive role in the team's locker room and works hard on the court, cannot be moved.
Moreover, if the Lakers want to win the championship and face the unknown playoffs, of course the more legs the better.
Especially for a special player like Howard, there is currently no substitute in the entire league. Without Howard, the Lakers would not be able to break out of the Western Conference. The Thunder's two young men can directly kill the Lakers' veterans.
But...
With Howard's character, he may explode on the spot at any time, affecting the Lakers' championship this season.
"It seems that I have to continue to suffer from Corvo."
Don’t worry, the Lakers really won the championship this season. The great coach D will definitely not forget your contribution. The good days ahead will be sweet.
Isn’t it just a mere 81 points?
How can this be worthy of you, Corvo? Coach D has lost everything, so I will give you a 101!
"It seems that the UAE's defensive enhancement plan will also be put on the agenda."
There is also Tracy McGrady’s physical unblocking plan.
Du Kang looked at his 850 MP points at this time, well, it's really not enough.
"If you save it, it will be gone again."
"One game is simulated, and at most one is simulated!"
"In future simulation competitions, I will never take the lead. Whoever takes the lead will be a dog!"
