Chapter 1366 1365. Gathering and Separation

With Prince as the core chip, Millsap as the secondary chip, and Korver, Pat Riley agreed to the deal.

If Prince chooses to be rearranged, he will definitely be around the fifth to tenth pick in the 2002 draft. If Korver is rearranged, he should be in the middle of the first round of the 2003 draft. Millsap is a potential stock, but the Hawks selected him In the second round, according to people's understanding of the Hawks, second-round picks from the Hawks are usually leftovers. If the Rockets enter the playoffs in the middle of the first round, at most they can use an early first-round pick. The last three players in the middle and later stages of the first round were replaced by Wade.

Giving such a bargaining chip reflects the Eagles' confidence that Wade can return to a good condition.

If Wade recovers to 70% to 80% of his strength, the Hawks will make a profit from this transaction. If he recovers to 60% of his strength, he will not lose money as a super substitute.

At the same time, the Hawks also gave away Rasheed Wallace's contract that took effect in 2004 with more than two years left until 2009, in exchange for Antoine Walker's contract with only one year left. The team's future cap space will be helpful.

Pat Riley's trade of Wade is in line with Pat Riley's personal characteristics.

Not willing to take risks, get the rewards you can get first, a utilitarian approach to the extreme.

Pat Riley ultimately failed to bite the Hawks, failing to get Kwame Brown and Jason Terry, but from the current stage, it is not too bad, getting Prince and Korver , and Millsap.

However, he failed to bite the Eagles. Pat Riley also responded to the Eagles and asked for two late second-round picks.

…

…

"Ace, stop drinking. There is a game tomorrow. Next time you go to Miami to play a game, let's have a good drink." Rasheed Wallace took away Liu Mang's wine glass.

Rasheed Wallace is fine. He has reached the end of his career and has already won the championship, three consecutive championships. After successfully defending the title last season, he was ready to leave.

This is how the NBA is. The Hawks previously gave him a 6-year 5+1 contract. When they gave him that big contract, it was the contract year when he was just traded from the Trail Blazers to the Hawks. The sixth year was a team option. In fact, it is a five-year contract. Basically, no team will exercise the team option of up to US$9 million for the sixth man when he is 36 years old.

The reason why the Trail Blazers were unwilling to renew his contract was not only because of his personal conflicts with the Trail Blazers, but also because of his age. He was already 29 when he was traded to the Hawks.

Last season, Rasheed Wallace had already felt that his strength was seriously declining. After winning three consecutive championships, he was ready to leave. After the championship celebrations were over, he went to the management and expressed that he didn't mind. Be traded.

"It's much better for me to go to Miami than to Minnesota or Houston. It's so close and I don't have to sell my house. After I retire, I'll watch your games every day." Rasheed Wallace smiled.

"Okay, I won't drink anymore, but will it be okay for you to go to the Heat?" Liu Mang asked worriedly.

"No problem, Riley called me in the afternoon and hoped that I could teach their young insiders some experience." Rasheed Wallace said.

Hearing this, Liu Mang felt relieved.

First, putting aside the possibility that the Heat would draft Oden, who was just drafted as he was in the original time and space, and was reimbursed before he even played in the summer league, Liu Mang felt that Pat Riley really wanted Lachey. De-Wallace.

At present, no one knows that Oden will be reimbursed in the summer. Oden injured his elbow last year. He came back as a sophomore this year and played a terrifying dominance. Neither Horford nor Noah can deal with him. He has been locked in since December. The top two, stabilize Horford.

From this point of view, Liu Mang felt that Pat Riley was not lying this time. He wanted Rasheed Wallace, probably because he wanted to teach Oden or Horford some veteran skills.

The Heat's goal is definitely the top three picks.

Wade's joining the Hawks sparked heated discussions among fans and ignited fans' enthusiasm for aesthetic fatigue.

When the online and physical media were discussing this matter, on the night the deal was concluded, Liu Mang invited four teammates who were about to leave for a gathering at his home.

Except for Jason Terry and Kwame Brown, no one else was called, including McGrady, just a few old teammates getting together.

Liu Mang, Jason Terry, Kwame Brown, Rasheed Wallace, Korver, and Prince are the only six old members who have won three consecutive championships together. Participated in all the championship fights.

Prince, Rasheed Wallace, and Korver, the three old teammates who won three consecutive championships together, are also leaving.

Even though he had expected it, Liu Mang was still turbulent in his heart.

Prince and Korver were both selected by his own team, and Liu Mang watched them grow step by step until now.

It's like Millsap left, and Liu Mang didn't feel much. Iguodala and Josh Smith went to pursue a better future, and Liu Mang also gave his blessing, but Prince has been partnering with Liu Mang since Liu Mang was in second grade. Wall and Rasheed Wallace have won three consecutive championships with Liu Mang since 2003, every year.

Korver was still drinking, and Liu Mang, Rasheed Wallace, and Jason Terry were all comforting him.

Korver's playing time with the Hawks this season has been split a lot between Rondo and Battier. In the past two years, after Korver gained a certain level of strength, the rotation lineup has been filled with Jason Terry or Liu Mang playing point guard. Korver is guaranteed more than ten minutes of playing time, but this season, Korver has become a candidate. He will play more time when he is needed, and much less time when he is not needed.

After Korver was sad, he was looking forward to the new team. It would definitely be sad to leave the place where the dream began, but now that it's over, I can only accept it.

There are many teams that want Korver. If they don't add him, even Prince will probably not agree to the deal.

Millsap likes the atmosphere of the Hawks very much. Although he only got the chance to play in 22 games after playing 37 games in his rookie season, he still likes this team very much.

He was fascinated by the great atmosphere and the good team culture.

Compared to others, Millsap cried like a child...

Prince didn't say anything. At the end of the party, he found Liu Mang.

After being traded, Prince did not have the open-mindedness of Rasheed Wallace, nor did he have the anger and unwillingness to accept the emotional change that Korver had at the beginning.

Prince had been very calm, like a quiet little prince. In the end, he only said one word and left.

"Ace, if you need me one day, if my contract expires, give me a call and I will come back to help you."

…

…

Give me a call and I'll come back to help you...

Liu Mang, who had never cried over such a thing, looked at the rear of the car disappearing at the corner and cried for the first time because of the farewell of his teammates.

It's business. After so many teammates left, Liu Mang has been hinting to himself that teammates come and go, but only the championship is eternal.

But by this time, he couldn't help it anymore.

"Ace..."

Alexia hugged Liu Mang from behind. Her pair were huge. Liu Mang could feel the majesty through several layers of clothes...

A pair of cool hands reached into Liu Mang's clothes, stretched up from his belly to touch the sun, then retracted and stretched downwards. Liu Mang shivered all of a sudden...

"Aida, this is still outside the yard,"

"Then go to the garage, there's no one there..."

"Watt? So wild? I like it!"

Any sentimental feelings about the departure of teammates... were all thrown aside...

Sometimes there is no need for so many words of comfort. There were two naked people in the garage, and finally there were three. Since there was no sound insulation layer, both Levia and Alexia bitten the sofa leather. I was afraid that the sound would be too loud and attract the family members. There are also children. The two cubs are over one year old, and there is a loli who is already 12 years old.

…

Early the next morning, Liu Mang came to the arena, and what happened next was very complicated.

Got Wade!

But now there is a lot of trouble.

Four were exchanged for one, and what came back was an injured number. Liu Mang wanted to take a good look at Wade's recovery.

When we arrived at the arena, owner Price arrived very early today. The deal had been reached. The next step was to wait for Wade to come for further inspection. Price was discussing the next steps of this season with Coach Kruger at the training ground. Lots of trouble.

Liu Mang went up and asked: "Boss, coach, when will Wade come?"

"You'll be there around noon. Thomas is already preparing a plan for examination and rehabilitation." Price responded.

Finally able to pay the consulting fee of US$4 million per year, Thomas Carter, who is also the medical consultant of the Eagles, the Lakers, the Suns, and the NASA medical consultant, this time finally Got work to do.

Thomas Carter is actively preparing. As a consultant for the Lakers, he has a lot of work to do. As a doctor for the Suns, he also has a lot of work to do. He can only be a consultant for the Hawks. Every year, he earns more than the Suns and Lakers. The money was more than the salary. As a result, there were suggestions for nursing work and restorative training during the offseason. For several years, he had hardly had any surgeries and surgery-related things, and he was almost depressed.

Thomas Carter, who was getting ready in the Eagles' medical room, was about to burst into tears: He finally had work to do!

Knowing that Wade would come from Miami at noon, Liu Mang discussed the transaction with the boss and coach Kruger.

When Pat Riley changed his mind from wanting either Terry or Kwame Brown to wanting Korver, Coach Kruger and Price agreed.

In order for the Heat to be satisfied with the return they received, they had no choice but to reluctantly send Korver away.

Originally, Coaches Price and Kruger offered Rondo or Granger, but Pat Riley didn't want someone with star status. They would rather have important role players, and he was prepared to rob the superstar himself.

After all, although Rondo and Granger have star qualities, their flaws are obvious. It can be seen that they do not have superstar qualities.

Pat Riley's target is Kidd or Carter. The Nets no longer want to bear two maximum salaries and want to start over. Neither Kidd nor Carter are wanted, and they are already selling these two top stars.

The three of them analyzed it and easily came to this conclusion.

Pat Riley really refused to suffer a loss. He only got a mid-first-round pick with a 50-50 chance, and he was stunned to take away the second-round pick that the Hawks were basically guaranteed to be in the bottom ten.

Liu Mang, the two late second-round draft picks, didn't feel bad either, but he still felt uncomfortable.

There is one more detail to this deal.

When the Rockets traded the draft pick to the Heat, there was a restriction. If the draft pick was in the lottery zone, it would belong to the Hawks. If the Rockets made the playoffs, the draft pick would belong to the Heat. If the draft pick was in the top three, it would have to be returned to the Rockets and become an unprotected first-round pick in 2008, belonging to the Hawks.

The Hawks' own first-round pick in 2007 was long gone, so they refused to give in on this point. Pat Riley proposed to send Antoine Walker to the Hawks, get rid of Antoine Walker's last year's salary, and reduce the total salary below the salary cap, and agreed to this condition.

…

After understanding the details of the transaction, Liu Mang began to train to prepare for tonight's game against the Nuggets.

After nine o'clock, teammates came one after another. The team's morale was relatively low today. A big trade of 4 for 2 was carried out suddenly. No one knew what their future would be like. The team's record this season was not good, and they had already begun to make changes.

At noon, Wade came to the stadium with a cane.

"Dwyane, I didn't expect this day to come!" Liu Mang saw Wade coming and actively went up to shake hands with Wade.

It was a bit inconvenient to hug. Wade was on crutches and there were staff members carefully watching over him.

Wade looked a little haggard. He didn't expect Pat Riley to be so heartless. They had dinner together the day before yesterday, but he traded him yesterday.

Wade, who hadn't slept all night and flew to Atlanta today, felt much better when he saw Liu Mang's excitement.

"Ace, I didn't expect that we would become teammates one day." Wade smiled bitterly.

"Dwyane, take good care of your injury. When you come back next year, we will win the championship together!" McGrady also came up to shake hands with Wade.

Others from the Hawks also came up. Some left, and new teammates came, so they will be their own people in the future.

After a brief greeting, Liu Mang called his teammates together. Including Liu Mang, there were a total of 11 players, and Antoine Walker hadn't come yet. Liu Mang was a little annoyed. This guy was too unpleasant.

If he didn't come, then he didn't come. Seeing the nine teammates gathered together and a teammate with a crutch, Liu Mang said: "A lot of things have happened in our team in the past two days. Some teammates have left, and new teammates have come. Maybe the future is out of control, but as long as we are teammates for one day, we will always be partners who have fought together. What will happen next this season, I don't know, I can only rely on you! I will also work hard to be a teammate you can rely on!"
