Chapter 184 Remnants welcome the knights, who can control the ups and downs
"On the morning of the 24th, the NBA officially announced a number of big deals, and the New York Knicks became the protagonist."
"The Knicks sent the team's backup point guard Nate Robinson, and traded with the Suns for the newly signed Slovenian guard Dragic."
"Subsequently, New York sent last season's starting center Eddie Curry and substitute Collins to complete a three-way deal with the Los Angeles Clippers and Houston Mosaic. The final result was that the Knicks got white big shooter Novak from the Rockets and got Tim Thomas at the three, Clippers get Eddie Curry and some cash, Rockets get Mobley."
"Richardson gets traded to Warriors, Knicks get Al Harrington."
"Taury Green, Bobby Jones, 2010 second round pick from Denver Nuggets for Renaldo Buckman and some cash."
"Then traded Jerome James, Tim Thomas from the Bulls for Larry Hughes."
"Get Chris Wilcox from the Thunder for Malik Rose."
……
The early morning news shocked the New York Knicks fans who had just woken up. Spike Lee posted in the morning: "Who can tell me what kind of night last night was, I slept for 8 hours, and the Knicks finished 6 A trade?! Is this still the Knicks I know!"
Truth be told, it really is.
In terms of trades, the Knicks will never lose to any team. Every year, the Knicks have to stir up troubles in the free market to gain a sense of presence, but those trades proved to be relatively bad.
But this time, they got Zuo Li's BUFF blessing. Dragic and Novak were all players named by Zuo Li. Only then did the Knicks change their tactics and facilitate the transaction.
Of course, these two transactions and the last two transactions facilitated by Zuo Li have been ignored by experts. After all, Novak and Dragic are now small roles, but sending Nate away is an unstable factor. , and the replacement of Eddie Curry's large garbage contract has received A+ praise.
They both now believe that both deals were primarily about freeing up cap space.
The most interesting thing is of course the joining of Larry Hughes and Harrington of the Warriors. These two are famous defensive champions. It's like the gangsters in New York.
Who would have imagined that these two were the key players in this transaction.
However, Zuo Li is still very satisfied. After all, Larry Hughes has one year left in his peak period, and he can still play a role this year. He can just make up for the vacancy left by Richardson.
Harrington is also an excellent supplement to the Knicks' front line. This kind of three-and-four talent is very much needed by the Knicks.
And Novak was selected by Zuo Li to complement the third position. Steve Novak has a thin body and close to nothingness in defense, but he has an excellent shooting touch. He is a large three-point shooter. A lethal single-function shooter with excellent catch-and-shoot skills, no other skills, neither rebounding nor passing.
But that doesn't matter. The Knicks want him to complement Chandler. Chandler is the kind of three who can defend, rebound, and has some offensive ability but can't shoot. With Novak Sitting on the bench, the Knicks' tactics will be richer. With him on the court, the opponent's third position will not dare to leave easily. The average 44% three-point shooting rate per game is not for nothing.
And what Zuo Li values most is Dragic.
The point guard who just signed with the Suns for 4 years and 800 million is an underestimated guy. Dragic is good at playing fast breaks and is good at pick-and-rolls. This is exactly the talent Zuo Li needs.
Moreover, Dragic has height and wingspan on the defensive end, is quick to respond, is good at steals, is tall enough to defend the second position, has a tough style of play and is not afraid of confrontation, which allows him to have an excellent free throw rate.
Such a player is now only 4 million in 800 years, which is not the same as picking up. Nate has better statistics than him now, but there will be no scum left in the future.
With him and Duhon in rotation, the Knicks' backcourt lineup has been greatly strengthened.
Zuo Li believes that after his own training, Dragic will shine in the Knicks.
After this transaction, the Knicks' main lineup has also become:
Inside: Zuo Li, Randolph, David Lee, Ewing Jr., Wilcox.
The third position: Harrington, Wilson Chandler, Novak, Bobby Jones.
Back line: Duhon, Dragic, Larry Hughes, Keliu, Tauri Green.
As for the starting lineup, it needs to wait until the new players are in place for joint training before making a decision. I believe D'Antoni will be happy to complete this job.
And because they learned the news at the airport, the brothers who were traded also bid farewell to their teammates.
There is no sorrow, this is a business alliance, transactions are very common, and some are just greeting each other and thanking each other for their efforts.
Of course, Nate couldn't wait to leave. He also posted on social networks, saying that he would help Phoenix win the championship.
Zuo Li couldn't help laughing. In the current Suns, any guard who goes is the younger brother. If you can compete with Nash, you have the ability. Nate seems to have some kind of social arrogance. If you don't go, you will help him win the championship.
Do you think someone cares about you!
Of course, the more ruthless one was Eddie Curry, who came out of the interview within a few hours after leaving the team. In the interview, he accused the Knicks management of indulging in Zuo Li, and believed that the coaching staff was just Zuo Li's puppets.
"They were all deceived by that yellow man. Zuo Li has a hand in the Knicks. He can even influence the coaching staff's decision! Believe me, the Knicks will die sooner or later!"
After some complaints, except for Zuo Hei's climax, the wind and waves were very small.
After all, Zuo Li's stats and the team's record are obvious to all, so there must be a basis for this thing to be black.
Knicks fans even said that this result is over, what are their previous seasons...
And Zuo Li ignored it, Eddie Curry's era is over after all.
However, the Knicks also encountered a big problem, that is, their new aid Dragic, Larry Hughes, Novak and others will not be able to play until a week later at the earliest, so they have to use their existing players in the last two games. Remnants dealt with it.
This is not impossible. After all, only Richardson was traded in the starting lineup. Ke Liu mentioned that the starting lineup can be dealt with. The problem is the next opponent, which is difficult to deal with.
Cleveland Cavaliers!
The current No. 12 in the Eastern Conference and the most popular player in the league, with 11 wins and 1 loss in [-] games, James leads the new MVP list.
The No. 03 pick in [-] is now more and more like the leader of the league. More and more evidence shows that James is getting closer and closer to his first championship trophy. His fans are crazy looking forward to next summer, so that he can Gathering with Kobe in the finals, it is best to defeat Kobe and climb to the top of the league dignifiedly!
Indeed, this is still James' script now, who would have thought that it would be like that later.
In this game, the encounter between Zuo Li and James has also attracted much attention. Since high school, Zuo Li's name has been compared with James in high school.
After entering the league, Zuo Li repeatedly broke the record held by James.
These two are also the No. [-] picks, and they are both the most watched and best players in the Eastern Conference recently.
This encounter, the topic level was immediately full.
All eyes.
This term is perhaps most appropriate to use here.
