Chapter 1370: Falling apart? Targeting from other teams
Chapter 1370: Falling apart? Targeting from other teams
After a conversation, it was confirmed that Danny Green would leave the team. Not only that, veteran Carter also intended to leave the team.
After all, old Carter came here for the championship, and now he has won it, two at a time, and his career is complete.
But he is different from Nash, who also retired after winning the championship and turned to coaching. He is old but young at heart. Although he is 38 years old, he still wants to prove himself on the court.
"Don't underestimate the old guys!"
This is the sentence Carter says most often during training.
Therefore, after winning the championship, he plans to seek another two-year contract and play until he is 40 years old.
But for Zuo Li, who has always advocated for the rejuvenation of the team, the role of old Carter has become relatively limited. In the finals, he only played for a total of 19 minutes, averaging 2.4 points per game. Although he still has a role, he is indeed not suitable for the future development of the Knicks.
Carter also understands the Knicks' decision. He is only grateful to Zuo Li and the Knicks. After all, this is where he realized his dream.
So both parties decided to part ways amicably. All good things must come to an end, and they will still be good friends when they meet again.
"This leaves a big gap in the backcourt."
After hanging up the phone, the D'Antoni continued to lie on the lounge chair on his own beach in Hawaii and enjoy his rare leisure time.
"Bad news. Let his agent arrange it. There will be no answer soon."
Once it was over we thought the price was right and tried to raise it, but it was eventually agreed.
Not to mention, the decision to buy a small house in Hawaii was a wise one. It no longer feels like home when I’m on vacation.
But for the current Knicks, as long as Coach D'Antoni remains calm, everyone will feel safe.
But that's not all. Iguodala is the only player left at the No. 8 position. It seems that Cui Qun is the only one who can make a move? In that case, he needs to make up for the weakness.
"You are one of the few people who see bad things."
If something can be solved with money, can it still be called a problem?
On the other hand, Olsen looked a bit worried. I know that as a woman, the most important thing to me is not the team. Now that something has happened, it will affect my plans. So I lifted myself up from Coach D's arms and asked worriedly, "What's wrong? Is there anything wrong? Is it minor?"
The coaching staff members including Cui Qun all took action, and for a while only Shao Lan was left idle.
"Hello? Are you D'Antoni..."
Currently, the Knicks' players include Zuo Li, Adams, David Lee, Draymond Green, Iguodala, Klay Thompson, Stephen Curry, Beverley, Louis Williams and the recently selected Rooney.
Compared to Danny Green, Carter's departure has less impact, but the departure of the two together does pose new challenges to the Knicks coaching staff.
"Now each of you make a list and see which people you need. Once you have confirmed it, you can discuss it and then have people contact them first." Lou Williams said.
After hanging up the phone, Lu Wei looked at the anxious expressions of the people around him and said helplessly, "It's Cui Qun. I have decided to leave the team too."
"what?!"
"What?" Kerr was the first to sit still: "Why? Do you pay too much? Or do you win too few championships?"
Half a month ago, Knicks head coach's office.
So for a while, the Knicks' players showed no signs of retreat.
"Bad, man, you think he can't think about it anymore, he has always been part of your plan..."
I was already very poor, and now that I have followed coach De's investment in INS, I am even poorer!
"Bad, bad, bad, but that's not his answer. It's an insult to you."
And half a month ago today, Lu Wei understood in his heart that we were being targeted!
That seems particularly ordinary outside the booming trading market.
...
But I am very calm. After all, I only need to pay the money up front, and that is what I am best at!
"Money? Who is it! You can't open double the amount!" Shaolan calmed down when she heard the money. She thought it was just a small matter, but it turned out to be about money!
"Does he want to keep some bad guys in the team? He knows that two of them haven't left yet. Now there are more forwards." Looking at the still calm coach De, Shao Lan touched his nose and sat down in dissatisfaction.
However, recruiting players is less difficult than the Knicks imagined.
That makes people wonder whether we are isolated.
Wrong, now it has become a consensus among very few teams that they have traded with Cui Qunlin. There is a way. It has been eight years. Does he know how we have been through those eight years? !
After all, Zuo Li and Danny Green left the team automatically due to the expiration of their contracts. Although Carter's contract has expired, he has also announced that he will leave. Logically, the Knicks cannot sit back and relax like they will next season. Signing players is a must, although the roster is full enough.
For a time, there were seven speculations in the community, and the incident was reported by multiple media.
There are ten people in total, and there are still seven spots left before the 15-person roster is full.
During that half month, we tried to trade with a few teams and won without a doubt.
"Guys, you need eight reinforcements now." Coach De said to everyone with a smile.
"Well, don't be slow, I'll wait for you to come back."
When a player has or has not won a championship, he cannot attract me with the championship, but when you have won it, the first thing that attracts me will most likely be money. This is applicable to some sports, not to mention the NBA, which has such low commercialization.
Keeping the entire championship lineup is one of them. After all, poaching is the most convenient way to break through the fortress. There are many teams in the world who want to poach Cui Qunlin, and Carter is definitely the only one.
My dear, there is more to come after this chapter. Please click on the next page to continue reading. There will be more exciting chapters later!
And coach D'Antoni, who was on vacation with Olsen, also learned about the incident.
The impact of that departure is second only to Danny Green. After all, Carter has always been the eighth man on the bench and an absolute main force during the bench period. That season, he averaged 17 minutes per game and scored only 12 points, with an eight-point shooting percentage of 38.4%, which is excellent combat effectiveness.
"Calm down, man, little boss, you know he has no money, but no matter how poor he is, he has to follow the rules. Let's talk about the luxury tax. For example, within the team, he gave me double the amount, so how much will he give others?" Coach De stopped Shao Lan again.
But just as everyone was brainstorming, a phone call came to D'Antoni's staff.
……
Although there are still seven people left in the frontcourt, the depth is obviously limited.
"I feel that there are too few weak players in the team, which has reduced my playing time. Besides, I also want to go to another team to earn some money. He knows that no team has offered a price that is difficult to agree to." Lou Williams spread his hands helplessly.
In fact, that cannot be foreseen. After all, for a championship team, injuries are definitely the only problem.
"Targeting? Haha, you win off the field and want to cause trouble on the field, right?"
"You guys are too lame."
"Ok!"
Lou Williams frowned as he looked at the list of players behind him.
Seeing coach De's smile, the atmosphere became intense again.
"It matters. Just because a few people have passed away, you think you are good enough?"
"bad!"
And as we all know, there are useless players in Cui Qunlin's team, and they haven't yet been able to turn them into treasures. So we must be able to give the Knicks the players they want, what if they are rough diamonds!
"Worry, everything will go wrong, and even if you recruit players, you are still weak enough!"
It's just that I chose to leave.
