Chapter 314 The Fierce East
"Heat, Cavaliers, 76ers shocking deal!!!"
"The Heat sent Shaq O'Neal, Jason Williams, Mark Blunt, the Cavaliers sent Big Z and the No.19 pick in the first round of this year, and the 76ers sent the No.16 pick in the first round of this year!"
"The Heat got the No.16 and No.19 picks in the first round of this year, the 76ers got the Cavaliers' big Z and millions of cash, and the Cavaliers got Shaquille O'Neal, Jason Williams, Mark Brown special!"
The scale of this transaction does not seem to be large. After all, it only involves four players from three teams, but the shock caused by this transaction is no smaller than any transaction this season. The transaction does not mean that the more players The bigger, the most important factor in judging whether a deal is big or not is whether there are superstars!
Only a transaction involving a superstar will shock everyone, and this transaction is obviously in line with the characteristics of the transaction. Even though O'Neal is almost 34 years old, he is still the top superstar on the planet. As long as he is willing, He can still score 30+30 in more than 10 minutes of playing time. The whereabouts of such an NBA No. [-] center who has not yet faded has to attract everyone's attention.
And now before the trade deadline arrives, his home is finally settled, going to Cleveland to assist the little emperor. This may not be the most satisfactory result for O'Neill, but it should be the best for the Cavaliers and the Heat. !
The Cavaliers, who were originally vacillating fourth and fifth in the Eastern Conference, will definitely increase their strength after having O'Neal in the interior. As for how far they can rise, it depends on O'Neal's physical condition and the degree of running-in of the team. No one can guarantee. O'Neal must be suitable for the Cavaliers, but the Cavaliers had to trade for O'Neal, because their leading players have long been dissatisfied with their activities in the free market, it is too useless!
Although the Cavaliers' management is also very wronged, they want to make a difference, but the team has no money at all!
Everyone knows how much the Cavaliers owner Gilbert has, so every year in the free market they watch helplessly as one big fish after another is snatched away by other teams, and they can only sit helplessly. Sigh in the office.
But now, Gilbert is actually willing to pay the luxury tax. The salary space that the Cavaliers had carefully calculated had directly exceeded the salary cap after the arrival of O'Neal. They never thought that O'Neal would come. The chips that the team can take out are pitiful. On the other hand, Gilbert is likely to refuse to get O'Neal because of the salary space problem.
But now O'Neal came to them lightly, and this surprise was like a pie falling from the sky. With James, they are one of the best teams in the East, and now they have O'Neal. The superstar lineup is definitely the top combination in the history of the Cavaliers and even the history of the league!
And the Heat got the draft picks, whether it is a trade or training newcomers themselves, this is a very good bargaining chip. Although these two first-round picks are extremely shabby compared to the value of O'Neal, the Heat are not greedy. enough.
As for the 76ers, they were just pulled in by the Cavaliers in this transaction. They got the big Z just to give their weak lineup a little comfort. Maybe they will no longer worry about the place in the playoffs. One of the ways they stabilize the core of the current team, Iguodala, at least they will not let this young man be too disappointed with the team.
There is no doubt that the Cavaliers have gained the most from this transaction. Their lineup limit has been raised to a higher level. The ceiling is almost over, so how far this Cavaliers can go now, so few people really know how powerful the combination of James and O'Neal is.
"Gao, our situation is very bad now. The Cavaliers with O'Neill further squeeze our living space!"
Sitting next to Gao Tian, Stotts said worriedly, it's not that he is worrying unfoundedly, but that the situation in the east is like this now, if there were people who thought that the west could beat the east in the past, no one would think so now, The ranking of the East is only fierce and no less than that of the West.
The Celtics naturally rank first, and the old and firm Pistons are sticking to their glory. The "semi-circle tactic" of the Magic's initial prowess has caused headaches for all teams in the league. Now the Cavaliers There is no doubt that it will be one of the strongest teams in the East, and the Wizards and Raptors are eyeing.
It's really hard to say how far the current Bobcats can go in such a fierce competition. Originally, Stotts was very confident that he would lead the Bobcats to the top four in the Eastern Conference at the end of the season, but now he really has no confidence, because There is a real gap between the current Bobcats and the top four teams in the East.
"You have to trust these young people in the team, as long as you are willing to trust them, they will never let you down!"
"But now that something has happened suddenly, I don't know if they can still play as before. At this critical moment, the team is suddenly in turmoil. It's a bad year!"
Gao Tian patted Stotts on the shoulder. There was a gleam in his eyes that no one could understand. His tone was very calm and even had a hint of a smile. strong confidence.
Confidence derived from its own powerful strength!
"Don't worry, I'll go and have a chat with them."
Seeing Stotts glance at him from time to time, Gao Tian naturally understood what Stotts meant. After going out, Gao Tian didn't go directly to Sun Yue and the others, but went to see Xi who was pushing iron in the gym. Will and Weber.
"Gao, why are you free to come to our place now?"
Seeing Gao Tian coming, Hill laughed and teased Gao Tian. After hearing this, Gao Tian glared at Hill angrily, greeted Weber with a smile, sat next to the two of them and said, "Grant, You are still here at this hour, you are too calm."
"Or else? I'm in a hurry to train with those rookies!"
Hill picked up the towel beside him and wiped his sweat, took a sip of water and said, compared to those young people who have never seen the world, the two of them have never seen such a big storm, this is just a trivial matter to them, even if Bobcat tells them now They won't be too disappointed after trading, after all, they have seen many such things, and even experienced it themselves!
Of course, it is impossible for the Bobcats to trade them now. Everyone knows that their value to the Bobcats is still meaningful.
"Since you know that you are still watching their jokes here, go and go, it's time for you two to help me."
After hurting them a few words, Gao Tian left. Looking at the smiles on Hill and Weber's faces, he knew that he didn't have to worry about the rest of the matter, and Hill and Weber would help him solve it.
