One Thousand Two Hundred and Fifty-Four. Shot While Lying Down

The three first-round picks are indeed great, but they have trained Paul George for three years. Now is the season for Paul George to bring out his talent, and it is the strength that has grown up with Sun Ce. It is most suitable for Sun Ce, in the team In terms of importance, currently neither Klay Thompson nor Nash can compare to Paul George.

This is the best player on the outside besides Sun Ce.

Although the Magic may get the No. 1 pick this year, judging from the current trend, the other two first-round picks will not be low in the draft. It will be painful to give up because they may not be able to complete the contract extension with Paul George in the end. Rumors have spread that by 2015, there will definitely be many teams offering maximum salary to Paul George.

This is a player whose talent seems to be comparable to Harden of the Warriors.

But this year, before reaching an agreement with Sun Ce to renew his contract for next season, Robert Pera did not want to take risks, and would rather accept that the value of Paul George's deal would be damaged in the last year of next season's rookie contract... or even after Paul George's rookie contract is over. Only one match left.

"Chris, no player or draft pick is more important than Noah. The signings in the summer have been done well enough. No one expected that we could bring in Larry and Robin. The future is important, but it is also important now."

Robert Pera's words successfully convinced Chris Wallace, who was restless about the possibility of getting two or even three top-five picks.

After Chris Wallace suppressed his restless heart and gave up the idea of ​​trading Paul George, he felt strange again.

Is this the same boss who wants to join the fans to cheer for his team when he wins the championship trophy?

Every time when it comes to discussing business, Robert Pera gives people a completely different feeling from the usual hands-off shopkeeper!

…

The Grizzlies, who have a lot of low-paid, high-performing players but many rookie contracts, originally seemed to the media to make big moves before the trade deadline.

This is what most defending champions will do. Except for the shortened season last season, not many teams competing for the championship made trades in the middle of the season. Most of the previous defending champions made lineup changes in the middle of the season, such as the Spurs, who defended their titles multiple times. Team.

The Pistons and Heat, two teams that won the championship in the new century, also made big trades in the middle of the season when they were defending their titles.

However, some media pointed out that the Lakers are the only team that has never made changes to its core lineup during the defending season. They are the only team to complete the defense in the new century.

Although the Spurs and Pistons both relied on mid-season trades to perform well in the early regular season of the defending season, they relied on the addition of new blood to perform well in the second half of the regular season and even win the regular season title. champion.

But on the contrary, the Lakers, whose record in the defending season declined and sometimes even failed to reach the top two in the Western Conference, completed multiple defenses.

Because in the playoffs, strength cannot be improved by adding new blood, but tacit understanding is more important.

Of course, for the Grizzlies' inaction in the middle of the season, there are praise and criticism, praise and disapproval, all have their own reasons.

On the night of the rookie game, there were frequent trades, but there was no trade from the Grizzlies.

Among them, the trade between the Jazz and the Hawks may have an impact on the Eastern Conference.

The Jazz sent away the 2009 All-Star point guard Devin Harris, who was traded with Deron, in exchange for Marvin Williams, the only James-like player selected by the Hawks that year.

Since changing their general manager and head coach, the Hawks have traded away all the James-style players they selected because of James' performance, and have performed quite well this year.

In addition to the Heat and Bulls who are firmly in the top two in the Eastern Conference, the Hawks, Pacers, Nets, and Cavaliers are competing for third place in the Eastern Conference. The 76ers cannot compete with them this season for various reasons.

The Hawks found a suitable backup point guard for Jeff Teague, and the bargaining chip is Marvin Williams, who has almost no chance to perform this season.

Got high ratings.

But the next transaction attracted attention...

…

"Jennings for Monroe? What kind of cool move is this?"

The day of the eventing event arrived. When Sun Ce woke up in the morning, he saw news related to him.

But there is no direct relationship, just mentioning him.

The Pistons and Bucks reached an exchange for two rookie contract players. The Bucks sent fourth-year player Brandon Jennings to the Pistons for third-year player Greg Monroe.

Sun Ce remembers that the Pistons already had Brandon Knight, a rookie first-team point guard last season, but they actually found another point guard?

With Drummond, the Pistons don't want Monroe. Sun Ce can figure it out, but Monroe is still very marketable in the transition period before this shooting boom and at the end of the old era.

There is no doubt that from the current point of view, the Bucks are making a profit!

Sun Ce was curious about why the Pistons did this until he saw the comparison between Brandon Knight's data this season and last season.

Last season, Brandon Knight averaged 12 points, 3 rebounds and 3 assists per game. This season, he averaged 13 points, 3 rebounds and 4 assists per game. His progress has been extremely slow...

That’s normal. No matter how bad Jennings is, he averaged 19 points and 7 assists per game this season. Although the trade value is not as good as Monroe’s 16 points, 9 rebounds and 3.5 assists per game, it may be more suitable for the Pistons and Drummond partners.

Sun Ce browsed the news and didn't see his team reaching a deal.

Sun Ce had heard before that the Rockets wanted to trade Anthony for Paul George and Randolph, and also give him a first-round pick. If the team really agreed to this wise trade plan, he would be furious.

Let’s not talk about anything else. Sun Ce has no intention to get back together with new teammates this season. It would be best if they were role players. He is still focusing on improving his own strength. At this time, it is most important to have a group of familiar teammates. He doesn’t have extra energy to get back together... It will delay singing, dancing, rap and basketball!

However, when Jennings was mentioned, some media mentioned Jennings’ 50+ in a single game in his rookie season, and then mentioned Sun Ce.

Jennings’ performance in the past two years after his rookie year was not satisfactory. Sun Ce, Evans, Lawson, Teague, and Holiday, who were optimistic about the 2009 class, all played well. Curry, who came back from a serious injury this season, averaged 25+ points per game. In his sophomore year, Curry also won the three-point king.

As for Jennings, he was almost forgotten by the fans until he was traded. Then people remembered this player who once ranked with Sun Ce in scoring 50+ points in a single game in his rookie season.

So, Sun Ce was shot while lying down. ESPN always found alternative angles to criticize Sun Ce. Jennings did not play well, but ESPN said that he made Jennings lose confidence.
