219. Strong Team Detector

"The Rockets offered to the Nuggets to trade Anthony?" Sun Ce asked in surprise.

Trading Anthony... what?

"Yes, my agent told me." Gay replied, "It will become more difficult for us to compete with the Rockets in the playoffs, but the Nuggets are no good. We have one less competitor."

"It's not necessarily..." Sun Ce felt that this world was very different from his original time and space. It turned out that the Rockets were planning to trade Anthony with a large number of draft picks and role players!

Anthony is good at singles in positional battles, and it matches the inside combination of Yao Ming and Scola quite well, but Brooks and Martin... the back line is another style.

The Rockets may not necessarily become stronger, but the chance of becoming weaker is not high in Sun Ce's view. With Yao Ming and Anthony at their peak, there is no way to find out.

But the Nuggets may become more difficult to deal with, at least they cannot be underestimated in the regular season, and their head coach is George Karl, that unrestrained old man... Maybe the regular season will get better!

Sun Ce's views on this matter are somewhat different from those of other players and his team's management.

While chatting with Gay about the team's just-completed trade, getting two pitchers, and possible trades from other teams, Sun Ce and Gay wandered among the several apartments that Bill Duffy had given them.

They were all within a straight line of three kilometers around the arena, so it didn't take too long.

After wandering around, finally... I chose the one I looked at at the beginning, not far from the hotel where I live now, and the apartment next to the river.

Guy complained: "Noah, let me tell you, you came to see this place from the very beginning, so you can just make a decision? Anyway, it's just an apartment. There's a villa near my house for sale, and it's only 500,000..."

"can not afford."

"I heard that you are about to sign an official endorsement. The houses in Memphis are very cheap..."

Guy's mouth... I can't stop.

And Sun Ce didn't know where this guy got so many gossips, and he regretted asking Guy to help him look at the house, and finally rented an apartment on the river bank that was only more than 300 meters away from the hotel where he stayed...

After renting an apartment and buying a pickup truck, Sun Ce's off-site activities today are considered over.

Following Guy's advice,

Let the renovation company that Guy is familiar with to redecorate the rented 3-bedroom apartment, which is less than half the rent of the small 2-bedroom apartment in Oakland...

As for the pickup truck to buy, Sun Ce wanted it to be convenient, and it will be easier to go to the arena warehouse to get luggage when the decoration is completed.

...

...

"Hello, Noah, I'm Sean, we've played before."

"Hi Sean, you're my favorite defensive player..."

"I'm very honored. I heard Yao mention you in the playoffs last season. I didn't expect you to be so good now."

"Thank you, now that you are back, our hopes for the playoffs are even higher..."

"Of course, we will definitely make it to the playoffs..."

Looking at Sun Ce who had a good conversation with Battier, Chris Wallace felt that the future of the team was bright.

After the Rockets got Martin and was not interested in Mayo, Chris Wallace was planning to trade Battier with the Warriors' pick. The Warriors' picks are all possible. The Warriors' pick is worth a lot. , at most add a second round or the right to swap in the first round of a certain year.

But Mayo traded out, got back a pitcher and a potential center, and got back a draft pick for the Cavaliers.

Originally, Chris Wallace wanted to use the Cavaliers' 2011 first-round pick to make a deal with the Rockets, but the Rockets refused to agree and insisted on the Grizzlies' pick. Reluctantly sent out his own 2011 first-round pick, leaving the Cavaliers 2011 first-round pick who is now predicted to be after the 25th pick.

This makes Chris Wallace a bit regretful, but it's not bad to have a first-round pick for the Cavaliers in 2011.

...

Sun Ce got to know the two new teammates Battier and Cook.

"Sean Battier, ability evaluation B+, offense B-, defense A, three-pointer A, mid-range shooting C, layup B+, speed A-, strength A-... averaged 8 points, 4 rebounds, 2 assists and 8 steals per game 2 blocks..."

"Brian Cook, ability evaluation D+, offense C, defense D-, three-pointer B+, mid-range shot..., layup..., speed... averaged 6 points and 8 rebounds per game..."

Battier is very good and has an excellent defense. If his physical fitness has not declined at the age of 31, his defense may be stronger. He has been a second-defense player in the past two seasons.

Moreover, Mr. President is very confident. He will not fight for the ball or the status of the team. It seems that he is easy to accept the coach's arrangement.

But with a sense of incomparable self-confidence.

Conversely, Cook, the first-round pick of the 2003 golden generation, averaged 6 points per game and had almost no mid-range scoring ability. The ball layup.

Slow speed, no explosive power, defense is basically a side effect, no rebounds and no passing... Sun Ce doesn't know how this guy got 10 million in 3 years... Even if the last year is non-guaranteed, 6.5 million in the first two years is very different.

After saying hello, Cook didn't dare to speak anymore, and smiled shyly...

The Rockets gave the Grizzlies two of their most extreme personalities.

Although he bought a high-quality role player and had to eat Cook, Sun Ce also feels good. He is a big man who can shoot, and he can be used as Matt Bonner without defense.

Met new teammates and looked at the current team lineup.

Outside: Conley, Battier, Anthony Parker, Marcus Williams, Gay, Carroll.

Inside: Randolph, Sam Young, Cook, Darrell Arthur, Gasol Jr., Jordan Jr., Haddadi...

With six outside teammates and eight inside teammates, Sun Ce feels that his team really loves inside...

Unable to control so much, Sun Ce continued to seize the time for personal training.

Tomorrow is the 6th, and the whole team will start training. Battier, Cook, Anthony Parker, and Jordan are all newcomers. They played consecutive away games before, and neither did Anthony Parker or Jordan. Having experienced the team's formal team training, the next step is to better integrate the new players into the team and prepare for the next home opponent, the Dallas Mavericks!

Although the Mavericks' record in the playoffs has not been good since being hacked in 2007, the regular season is still very good, with more than 50 wins in the past two seasons.

The current Mavericks have become a strong team detector. If they can't even beat them, they can't be called a playoff team.

So the Grizzlies take this game very seriously!
