"Uncle, uncle, Carter went to the Nets!"

"oh."

"Uncle, aren't you worried that the Nets are getting stronger?"

"Uh... your uncle will continue to beat them up next time."

"That's right, Carter and Kidd are not as good as Uncle."

"certainly."

…

"Uncle, uncle, are we going to Los Angeles for vacation during the All-Star Weekend?"

“If you don’t have money, don’t go!”

"Uncle is a cheapskate!"

"I remember Dinah, you have saved a lot of pocket money, right? How about Dinah treat you this time?"

"Uncle! You have gone too far! You even want to defraud children out of their money!"

"Your teacher is a pauper, your mother is a tough guy, your uncle also became a pauper after I finished investing, and you, Dinah, are the richest in our family!"

"..."

Liu Mang and Dinah hugged each other for warmth and watched the trading news on TV, chatting wordlessly amid Dinah's endless contempt.

On January 3, the day after Liu Mang was suspended, tonight is the day when the Eagles face the Bucks at home.

Because Liu Mang was suspended for two games, he could not play in the next game against the Bucks and the next two home games against the Magic. He could not enter the stadium. And because he could not play in the game, the tactics of these two teams

Changes are bound to happen, so he can only practice by himself when training. He might as well just stay at home and practice shooting.

Liu Mang got up at 3:50 in the morning and practiced for several hours. After making breakfast, he realized that today was Sunday. Then he and Dinah watched TV and rested.

In the new year, the league's situation has almost stabilized, but some teams are not satisfied with the status quo, or the team's performance has not met expectations, and the trade market has become active.

Liu Mang's appearance was okay in the first two years and did not have a particularly big impact, but this year, the impact has become greater.

Of course, Liu Mang's influence is definitely limited. For example, some teams have been planning team building ideas for many years, or some general trends that have been developing for many years will definitely not change.

The emergence of Liu Mang promoted the development of some things. For example, conflicts among some teams were caused by Liu Mang to break out in advance, and some teams were forced to speed up the reconstruction process. Of course, speeding up may not necessarily lead to success. On the contrary,

It is possible that the failure will be more severe due to being forced to speed up, and of course it may also be more successful.

Liu Mang saw two transactions that shocked the league from the news, mainly the one that happened last night. It was precisely because of this transaction that the negative impact of Liu Mang's suspension was covered up, and the 2004 transaction was officially

Pulling it apart, the trade that stole all the attention was the Nets’ big trade!

It was the first time that Liu Mang felt so grateful to someone after being "stealed" by someone else.

Last night, the Nets and Nuggets, who had just had a fight with the Hawks, and the Raptors reached a big deal involving up to 10 players or draft picks.

Kidd and Kenyon Martin had a big conflict. When Byron Scott was there, Kenyon Martin was the player Kidd worked with the most, but after Byron Scott left, Richard Jeffer

Sen has become Kidd's most willing partner. In the past month or so, Kenyon Martin has had a lot of conflicts with Kidd. In the game against the Hawks, Kidd only made 6 of 18 shots in the first half.

Others dare not complain to Kidd, but Kenyon Martin is already a top power forward in the league. Many teams have revealed that they want to give him a maximum salary in the summer. The most positive one is the huge salary.

The Denver Nuggets are short-handed in the space because of Nene's potential knee injury.

During halftime of the game between the Hawks and Nets, because the Nets were 30 points behind, Kenyon Martin was dissatisfied with Kidd, and the two broke out into a heated argument.

After the game, Kidd, who had obviously grown stronger after leading his team to the Finals for two consecutive years, first drove away the head coach Byron Scott who had brought him to the peak of his career, and then turned to the basketball team.

The Nets management is forcing him to either trade him or trade Kenyon Martin.

It is obviously impossible to trade Kidd, so the Nets management can only take action on Kenyon Martin.

Another important point is that the relationship between Kenyon Martin and Kidd is so bad. After the season is over, if other teams offer a maximum salary, Kenyon Martin will definitely accept it, and the Nets management is unwilling to give it any more.

With a maximum salary, they don't have enough money to pay the luxury tax, so they definitely won't match it.

In order to avoid losing Kenyon Martin in vain, I contacted the Nuggets. The Nuggets originally planned to do a sign-and-trade in the summer, which could keep Kenyon Martin's Bird Rights and give Kenyon a larger contract.

-Martin is willing to go to Denver Plateau.

Kenyon Martin averaged 14 points, 10 rebounds and 3 blocks per game against Duncan in last year's Finals, which made many teams covet him. This year, with the addition of Anthony and Andre Miller, he has risen from second to last in the league in one fell swoop.

The Nuggets, who were promoted to eighth in the Western Conference, have higher pursuits and are trying to form a super inside defensive combination of Kenyon Martin and Camby. They have already made an offer to the Nets, but the Nets have never agreed.

Use Kenyon Martin cheaply for another year.

Now that Kidd is on the line, the Nets have no choice but to make a trade in advance.

The Raptors, who had obtained the intelligence, stepped in at this time and gave the Nets an irresistible temptation. They were unwilling to give Kenyon Martin a big contract, but if they accepted this player's big contract, the Nets would not be able to refuse.

I'm willing to add a few million!

In the early morning of January 2, 2004, a three-team trade that shocked the league suddenly occurred!

The Nets sent four players, Kenyon Martin, Alonzo Mourning, Robert Pack, and Mickey Moore, and received the Nuggets' 2005 first-round pick and the Nuggets' 2004 second-round pick.

And Vince Carter of the Raptors!

The Nuggets sent three first-round picks in 2004, 2005, and 2007, a second-round pick in 2004, and the signing rights to Rav Zaitsev, the 131st overall pick by the Nuggets in 1985.

, relying on space to forcefully take down Kenyon Martin from the Nets.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! The Raptors sent Vince Carter and received the 2004 and 2007 first-round draft picks from the Nuggets, and Alonzo Mourning from the Nets

,Robert Pike,Mickey Moore!

Liu Mang was shocked when he saw this deal. The Raptors were really willing to give it up! Mourning, who was forced to be reimbursed for next season, had to correct Milicic.

The Nuggets are also willing to accept a 15-game suspension for Kenyon Martin.

The trident of Kidd, Carter, and Richard Jefferson is taking shape!

But...it doesn't seem to be great!

Moreover, when Liu Mang saw that the Nuggets had actually acquired the signing rights for players who could have been selected in the N round until they vomited in the 1980s draft and were probably already in their forties, he thought this deal was quite interesting.

.

It is a rule of NBA transactions that you cannot just give away draft picks.

This was the news last night. When Liu Mang saw the news, the TV had already begun to analyze the pros and cons of the Nets' transaction.

Of course, the main argument is that Kidd and Carter join forces to recreate the glory of Jordan and Pippen of the Bulls.

The mainstream public opinion is that the Nets chose a big trade in order to deal with the Hawks.

Since the core combination of two perimeter players, Jordan and Pippen, has won two three consecutive championships, the media is very optimistic about the Nets' new combination with the league's best point guard.

The super perimeter combination of Kidd and Carter, plus Kittles and Richard Jefferson, the media who originally lost to the Hawks in three consecutive games with each game getting worse have already judged the Nets.

The Nets were sentenced to death, and now they suddenly start to praise the Nets again, thinking that since Kidd has a superstar as a helper, it will not be a problem to deal with the Hawks!

The combination of Kidd, Carter and Richard Jefferson, who averaged 20 6 4 per game this year, was instantly praised by the media!

When Liu Mang saw the commentators on TV advocating for the Nets to acquire Carter, his originally shocked mood became much calmer.

It doesn't seem to be a big deal, compared to outside stars? Liu Mang feels that now, together with peak Prince and defensive Raheem, plus Barnes on the bench, he can defeat the Nets' four top perimeter players.

Beware of vomiting!

Moreover, the Nets now have four or even superstar-level outside players, and there are many things that give them headaches.

The most important thing is that in Liu Mang's memory, the "Big Three" of Kidd, Carter, and Richard Jefferson were okay in the regular season, but in the playoffs they were just giving away food, and they were really not that good.

Therefore, when Liu Mang received a call from his teammates, his answer was very calm, which gave his teammates great confidence.

Liu Mang didn't know when he had become the backbone of the team, but Liu Mang thought it was a good feeling.

The Nets' trade shocked the league, and even suppressed the limelight of another big trade.

After the Nets' three-party deal was concluded, other deals in the league became foils.

The Suns had a terrible start and are now ranked second to last in the Western Conference with 9 wins and 23 losses. They have no sense of unlimited potential like last season. Marbury was driving drunk and seducing minors into unspeakable things.

Various negative off-court situations caused the Suns, which almost made the playoffs last season, to compete with the Clippers for last place in the Western Conference. That is to say, Kobe made too much noise, so Marbury's incident did not

It has been widely reported that Marbury's influence is far from that of a blacksmith, and there is a difference between force and financial temptation.

After the Nets kicked off the trade, the Suns and Knicks took action. The Knicks had sent Keith Van Horn to the Bucks last month just to wait for the Suns to relent.

The Suns sent Marbury, Penny Hardaway, and Ceseli Trbanski to the Knicks for Howard Eisley, Charlie Ward, Antonio McDyess, March Lampe, Mi

Ross Vujanic.

Because the Nets' trade was so explosive, this obviously robbing trade of Isaiah Thomas failed to have much impact.

Compared with the "Big Three" formed by the Nets, Liu Mang believes that the deal between the Suns and the Knicks is a real win-win!

The Knicks are expected to make the playoffs this year. Marbury will definitely look like a prodigal son when he returns to the Knicks, even if it is just a pretense. And Penny Hardaway is doing well with the Suns and has been fully active in the past two years. Going to the Knicks

It should be okay for the Knicks to survive for a year or two, and the Knicks' hopes of reaching the playoffs this year have greatly increased.

The Suns sent Marbury away with almost no reward and got several expiring contracts. Although the Suns may be in trouble this year and lack a core organization, after sending away Marbury and Anfernee Hardaway, they

His salary is already below the salary cap. After four expiring contracts free up up to 17 million in salary space in the summer, coupled with a high draft pick, the Suns will have a very good opportunity to operate in the summer.

When Liu Mang saw this trade, he seemed to see Nash flying towards the Suns. Thinking about the possibility of playing against the running and gun team next season, Liu Mang felt a little excited.

Maybe the Suns were not a championship contending team in the D'Antoni era. The best season was the 2006-07 season when the Suns became a championship contending team in the future in the 2009-10 season when head coach Alvin Gentry became the number one player.

After the assistant coach added defense to the Suns' style of play, the Suns were truly competitive in the playoffs.

However, even though the Suns in 2005 and 2006 were not championship contenders, Liu Mang still felt very excited.

As a fan back then, Liu Mang's biggest regret was that the truly pure offensive Suns failed to win the championship in the 2004-05 and 2005-06 seasons.

That kind of desperate offense is a kind of belief in the eyes of many fans who liked the Suns at that time!

After these two big deals, there was nothing exciting anymore. Liu Mang began to seduce the little lolita to pay to play during the All-Star Weekend, but Liu Mang discovered that iron roosters are hereditary! The little lolita refused to agree...
