"What do you think at the moment? You might as well say the previous one. Since you are here to find me today, you must have some ideas."

Looking at Stan Van Gundy sitting opposite, frowning and smoky, General Manager Otis Smith also sat on the desk and looked at the old guy with a smile on his face.

Although he is currently the general manager of the team, Stan Van Gundy must be more clear about the team's lineup.

"Well, there must be some ideas, but what kind of transaction can be made in the end depends on your personal management."

"As the All-Star Game progresses, it is getting closer to the trading deadline, and all teams have also strengthened their efforts in all sizes."

"To be honest, I realized that the problem was a bit late at this time, but if there is no adjustment to the roster, it will be basically very difficult to win the championship this season, so there is really not much time left for us."

"The only ones that can be traded and have a certain trading value are Janiel and JJ."

"So you can find a staff officer and reveal a little bit of news in the market to see if there is any suitable solution. We can discuss it at that time."

After hearing Stan Van Gundy's words, Otis Smith did not show much surprise. He was silently sucking cigars, as if he was digesting these things.

"Well..., you really want to use Janiel to trade, you've really thought about it."

Looking at Otis Smith's gaze, Stan Van Gundy just smiled slightly:

"Yes, I have been thinking about this for a long time, but I had to do it before, but now I have a better choice and I can really make a choice."

"What's more, I believe Janiel has already looked for you. Since I put him on the bench, he has already proposed to take the initiative to seek a deal, but it seems you have rejected it before."

After listening to Van Gundy's words, Otis Smith also pondered for a moment, then slowly spoke:

"Well... As long as you think about it, I will try my best to find a trading plan, but Janiel's contract is not small, and even if you want to trade, it is actually a bit difficult."

"Especially, the transaction deadline is getting closer and closer, and there are fewer and fewer goals for us to choose from, so this matter is probably a bit difficult to deal with."

"Hey, I really don't know why that guy gave such a contract when he was so angry, but now this mess is going to be in my hands. It's such a sin."

Facing Stan Van Gundy, Otis Smith, as the general manager, doesn't need to hide it, basically say whatever he has.

After all, the ultimate goal of the two is the same, that is, to make the team's performance better and better, and to strive to touch the mysterious and mysterious championship trophy as soon as possible.

"Haha, in fact, Janiel's strength is worthy of such a contract, but I didn't expect that Su's rise was really too fast."

Ignoring Stan Van Gundy's words. After saying these words, Otis Smith held his forehead with one hand, as if he was thinking a little in his mind.

"Oh, by the way, I remembered that if I want to strengthen myself, I am a star and at the end of my career. Then there is really someone who is currently fully meeting our reinforcement standards."

"Hmm? Who?"

“Allen (Iverson)”

"Allen?! No, no, this is definitely not possible!!"

Seeing that Stan Van Gundy had a very obvious resistance after hearing this name, General Manager Otis Smith also smiled bitterly, and then asked him helplessly:

"Why, you have heard of this recently? Or just care about his past."

After hearing the name Allen Iverson, Stan Van Gundy jumped up from the sofa. At this moment, when he heard Otis Smith's question, Van Gundy patted his forehead without any concealment.

"How could it be that I haven't heard of this? I'm afraid everyone knows about it in the league at the moment, otherwise the Pistons wouldn't have been able to trade Allen for so long."

"Because this is obviously a mess, for those teams who want to win the championship this season, it will not only cost a lot to trade Allen."

"And Allen's arrival is probably a time bomb in the locker room, so the risk is too great."

"As for teams outside the playoffs, let alone. Allen is already at this age, and it is impossible for a team to rebuild with him as the core, otherwise the Nuggets would not have traded him."

"In addition, his regression this season is too obvious, so no team is willing to take over the deal."

As Stan Van Gundy said, Allen Iverson this season can be said to be inappropriate after coming to the Pistons.

First of all, after coming to the team, his entire game state has declined too quickly. Secondly, Aaron Iverson didn't know how to restrain himself outside the court and missed training for no reason many times.

This also led to Iverson having a very big disagreement with the team's head coach Michael Curry.

Even the two have reached the point where they are incompatible so far.

After all, Allen Iverson has already passed his peak period and his performance in the team is even worse than that of Hamilton, the king of central shots.

To put it in a bad way, it is basically a balloon star.

So Michael Curry wouldn't spoil him at all.

Because Michael Curry's coaching philosophy has always been implemented, with team-oriented and defense-oriented team tactics.

Iverson's arrival obviously had a very serious conflict with his coaching philosophy.

In addition, Iverson contradicted the coach many times and missed training for no reason. This made Michael Curry so angry.

He even made harsh words to the management. If he didn't take some measures to Allen Iverson, he would directly quit his position as head coach.

Although the management did not pay much attention to this harsh statement made by Michael Curry, Michael Curry is not those rare famous coaches.

But what really hurts the Pistons management is that when Iverson played, the team's record was simply a mess. From second in the Eastern Conference at the beginning of the season, it has dropped directly outside the playoffs so far.

But during the period when Allen Iverson was absent due to injury, the team's record obviously improved. Not only did it become smoother on both ends of the offense and defense, but it seemed that there were signs of breaking out of the cocoon and becoming a butterfly.

This situation also made the Pistons management feel in a dilemma. Originally, using Billups to trade Iverson was to let him lead the team back to the stage of the finals.

As a result, Iverson's arrival not only did not make the Pistons better, but instead made the Pistons almost miss the playoffs.

At the same time, the entire locker room was chaotic, which made the management finally make some decision, that is, to trade Aaron Iverson.

But since this season is Allen Iverson's contract year, no matter which team wants to trade, he only has one year of use.

And in this case, what the team needs to take over is a hot mountain yu.

This simply made Aaron Iverson a great plague god in the market, almost to the point where everyone shouted and beaten and everyone was bypassed.

This situation obviously made the Pistons management feel a headache, and it has not been solved satisfactorily until now.

Before, Michael Curry was dissatisfied with Allen Iverson's offensive style on the court, so he directly placed him on the bench.

Of course, Allen Iverson was very unhappy about this matter, and even said the classic quote: "If I were asked to play as a substitute, then I would rather retire directly."

And at the same time, he refused to continue playing for the Pistons, demanding that he must start and resolutely not play as a substitute.

But his arm can't twist his thighs. Now Iverson is no longer the peak state of the gods who blocked the god of killing.

So facing this thorny head full of thorns, the Pistons directly put him on the non-activated list, depriving him of his right to play.

Okay, you don’t plan to play, so I’ll just abandon you. Regardless of whether you trade or not, you don’t think about playing basketball this season!!

I will drag you to death in your contract year. If you don’t let the team live well, then the team won’t let you live well!!

This method of the Pistons management is obviously a loss-making loss, and it is not beneficial to Aaron Iverson himself or to the Pistons.

However, being able to force the Pistons to make this decision is enough to show how inseparable Iverson and the Pistons are today.

And the Pistons management hated Iverson so much. After all, no matter how much this guy was, he exchanged it for Billups.

Damn it, it's a loss!!

After hearing Stan Van Gundy's words, Otis Smith nodded on his own, but after thinking for a while, he still said to him:

"With that being said, Allen seems to be very compatible with the team today, and his offensive ability should be able to help the team."

Looking at Otis Smith and Stan Van Gundy, who were obviously thinking in front of him, first shook his head helplessly, and then fell into a brief silence, as if he was also thinking about this matter.

Compared with the whimsical idea of ​​general manager Otis Smith, Stan Van Gundy, as the head coach, can clearly see through the causes and consequences of this matter.

The reason why the Magic have so many loopholes this season is because there is insufficient independent offensive points on the court.

Whether it is Howard or Su Jiu, neither of them is the kind of real offensive stars.

Although Su Jiu has performed explosive scoring performances many times this season, he is still an all-round player with both offense and defense.

When Lewis was on the court, the Magic's situation improved slightly. After all, although Lewis' personal scoring ability is not the top in the league, it is enough to solve the Magic's urgent needs.

However, when Lewis was absent due to injury, Van Gundy realized that the offensive choice of the entire Magic team was so small.

While having to let Howard and Su Jiu fight against the offensive banner, Pitrus and Courtney Lee in the starting lineup simply don’t have any offensive ability.

The same is true for Tkoglu, because he is not a striker who mainly focuses on offense, and even his entire role on the court often overlaps with Su Jiu.

Therefore, Allen Iverson's offensive ability can definitely make up for the shortcomings of the Magic team, perfectly integrate with the Magic team, and achieve a situation of learning from their strengths and weaknesses.

In addition, Iverson and the current Pistons management have had a quarrel, and they have even been directly shot into the cold palace as spectators.

So if the Magic want to promote this deal, it is not difficult.

But what really made Van Gundy feel worried was never Iverson's ability on the court.

After all, a lean camel is bigger than a horse. Although Iverson has passed his peak now, it is definitely not something that ordinary people can compare.

What really made Van Gundy show resistance was because of Iverson's personal character and many bad habits on the court.

Because this is simply a thorny head full of thorns, and an unstable locker room bomb. No one knows whether his arrival is good or bad.

The team already had a Dwight Howard. If there was an Allen Iverson, although the team's lineup could indeed be improved, Van Gundy would not be angry to death?!

"By the way, I suddenly remembered whether Allen had a good personal relationship with Su off the court??"

"I remember that after the game with the Pistons, both of them praised each other and had a pleasant exchange on the court. Is this a thing?"

Just when Van Gundy frowned and kept thinking about the gains and losses of this matter, he was also stunned for a moment after hearing Otis Smith's words.

"Well..., it seems like this is the case, but I don't know much about the specifics, but I think these two people are more in love at most."
