In NBA, the completion of a transaction is never a simple matter, it does not mean that several players seem to be able to exchange equivalently, especially for the trade of superstar players, the issues that need to be considered are even more It is all aspects, so in the history of NBA, it can be said that the annual transactions are countless, but in these transactions, superstar-level transactions are quite limited. The most famous ones are Chamberlain came to the Lakers, and Jabal came to the Lakers. And Moses Malone went to the 76ers, these three ball king-level transactions can be said to be the most famous giant star transaction in the history of NBA, and in addition to these three major transactions is the recent Drexler to the Rockets Going to the sun with Barkley, and of course to the Lakers, after all, [pig] [pig] [island] novel ww.zuhm, although Lin Han was a rookie, but also regarded as a giant star player.

Why are there so many transactions in the history of NBA, but such giant star transactions rarely appear, even for several years or even ten years? Of course, each of these superstar players is the treasure of their respective teams. Except for the last resort, no team will trade their own superstars. If Chamberlain was not in Philadelphia at that time, he felt that he had no progress, and he would never get it. To the championship, and resolutely want to leave, Philadelphia will replace? Of course not. If it wasn't for Jabbar who had a mvp in the Bucks for 6 years but the championship was slim. The self-respected super center believes that the Bucks are no longer worthy of him and let go of everything they want to escape. Will the Bucks trade? Of course not, like Moses Malone. If the Rockets failed again and again in the Finals, the first center of the year already felt that he might need a stronger team to win the championship and choose the East Tour. Will the Rockets trade him? Of course not!

This is true of the three players who are king-level players, as are the other three superstars Barkley, Drexler and Lin Han. Some of these three are traded in their prime years, some are traded in their twilight years, and others are just debuts. They were traded, no matter whether it was a good year or a young year or a youth, their team did not intend to trade them. Whether it's Barkley, Drexler or Lin Han, if it's not that they insist on going, their team has never thought about trading them.

Therefore, in NBA, the value of a superstar player is absolutely worthy of recognition. For a team, if they can leave their team's superstar, they would rather replace their team's owner and general manager!

Superstar deals are not common in NBA, except that the team is not willing to let go. Another reason is equally important, that is the choice of superstar players, what is the choice of superstar players? That is, if the team is really forced. In the case of team superstars must leave, almost all teams will respect the choice of superstars in the team, the Jazz respect Lin Han. Let Lin Han choose the team he wants to go. The Suns also respected Buckley's choice very much. Even the Blazers respected Drexler's choice, as did Chamberlain and Jabal at the time. With the prestige of these two people, there are more teams that can afford the price, and more teams want the two. Why do they go to the Lakers? And why did their team let them go to the Lakers, not because of their own choice? Even Moses Malone, who signed and then changed, eventually left the Rockets when they joined the 76ers in the Eastern Conference finals. Why did the Rockets release the 76ers? Isn't it because the 76ers are so powerful that Moses Malone wants to go?

The phrase "business is business in NBA" is indeed correct, but it is invalid in the case of superstar players. In the history of NBA, this sentence is invalid in the transaction of superstars. Most superstar players The next house will be better than the last one, because most of the superstars can choose their own destiny, and of course they will choose a new owner that is most beneficial to them!

NBA is a commercial league. In theory, everything in this league, including players are goods and goods, but when the player’s level reaches a certain level, then the players can still control their own destiny, at least compared to Those role players and ordinary All-Star players are much better.

The reason Barkley's deal was dragged on is the same now. There are many teams that want Barkley. Just like when Jabal was leaving the Bucks and the Suns were leaving the 76ers, they wanted to get their team. Too many, even the Lakers want to get Barkley, let alone other teams, and there are many teams that can pay for this player, or even a lot. After all, when trading Barker When it was profitable, the Suns never thought about trading to Jordan, Olajuwon or players such as David Robinson and Lin Han. Since they knew that the trade would not come with such superstars, there were even no urgent trading needs. The star players may not be able to trade, for example, Sprewell is also an All-Star player, although the Warriors also want Barkley, but they will not trade with Sprewell, the Kings are also the same, they will not be for Barkley Trading Richmond, in this case, if you can choose, the Suns are unable to trade Lin Han they want, of course, they are not willing to trade Barkley, this is of course, even if Barkley can not bring them Champions, but the players they exchanged can't bring them championships either. In this case, why should they toss? It was just because of Jerry Bass' trouble that Barkley didn't want to stay with the Suns, so he had to trade.

And this is one of the reasons why many teams are willing to give their superstar players the freedom to choose their next home, because it is impossible to trade an equivalent superstar back. In the history of nba, the two superstars swap the owner. This kind of thing almost never happened, in this case, the superstar's transaction is lost in any way. Or most teams have similar chips, since most teams have similar chips. As long as everyone is not too much hatred, the team will certainly not throw their team's superstar to a junk team to let others criticize it. This will affect the team's reputation for signing free agents in the future, so slowly everyone will agree, and the giant star deal will become interesting.

Because of the addition of a superstar player's own choice, there should have been many teams wanting, and many teams can afford the chips, and the team of the trading party is generally not high. The reason for the unusual slowness.

As far as Barkley's trade is concerned, Barkley wants to go to the Rockets. This is something that Barkley said right from the beginning. Although the Bulls want him, Barkley feels that the Bulls are not reliable, because this year the West has made it clear that the Rockets are the only one in the Jazz. Under the Rockets, even if it is not difficult for him to enter the finals, and with him, the Rockets entered the finals is almost a matter of finality, when the Rockets entered the finals. Who can match this team in the East? bull? Don't joke, Jordan has been scared by Olajuwon in the regular season in recent years. Although the result of the playoffs is unknown, Barkley has joined. The Rockets will not lose to the Bulls in any way. In Barkley's view, the Rockets are a better choice than the Bulls. And another point is that although he and Jordan are very close friends. But Jordan's desire to control is too strong, in comparison. Olajuwon got along a lot. He went to the Bulls as a sure second- or even three-header, but when he went to the Rockets, everyone really didn't have to be equal, so he didn't lose points.

It can be said that when Buckley wants to leave the Suns, the Rockets are the first or even the only option. If he doesn’t go to the Rockets, he might as well stay in the Suns, plus the Rockets up and down whether the team leader Olaju Wang or Drexler or the team’s head coach Tom Janovic is very interested in him. In this situation, everyone can join together, but it is obvious that although Barkley wants to go to the Rockets, The Rockets are also willing to ask for Barkley. Even the Sun doesn’t mind sending Barkley to the Rockets, but the Rockets don’t have enough chips! The Rockets are not without people. In fact, the Suns are not picking up anyway. They have been rebuilt anyway. It doesn’t matter whether the traded players are All-Stars when they are playing. The key is to be young and have potential. It is best to have Some good draft picks are even better. Does the Rockets have such a player? Of course, Kassel, Robert Holly, aren't they all such people? It’s just that the Rockets don’t want these people. Robert Holly said that when the Rockets play power forward now, Barkley will certainly not have his place. The key is Kassel. This is the Rockets absolutely unwilling to give up. The players, although young, have great value in the Rockets and are the most stable point control point outside of Drexler. This is to prevent teams from being like the last season’s playoffs. Used when Drexler died.

It is precisely because of this that the transaction ended up in a deadlock. If the Rockets are willing to send their first round of signing, as well as Kassel and Holly, this transaction may have been completed long ago, but it is because of a card Searle, this transaction has been dragged to the present. The Suns and Rockets have used many and many permutations and combinations, but they cannot find the possibility of multi-party trading. It is not that no team is willing to multi-party trading, but it is a bit embarrassing. The deal clearly shows that it is extremely beneficial to the Rockets. Only the Western West's fools will help the Rockets and the Sun complete the deal. Even the Eastern East's strong teams are reluctant to see this deal!

In this era of squadrons, what kind of scene will the Rockets have after having Barkley? Everyone is not unimaginable, so, so many nba team general managers gathered in Phoenix, you think it is really for trading Buckley? Of course, you definitely want to get Barkley to your team, but what if you can’t get it? Of course it is trouble! Jerry West, they just messed up! As long as Jerry West and the Bulls general manager Klaus stand there, which team will help the Rockets and Suns complete the deal, it still needs to weigh their own teams.

Lin Han didn't know this kind of thing, of course, it was too dark. If it wasn't for Lin Han to ask Mingming that the Lakers had no drama, why did Jerry West stay in Phoenix for so long? This was still told by Kupchak These inside stories, but Kupchak and Bulls general manager Klaus are purely messy. Although Jerry West also wanted to make trouble, but who let Jerry Bass make such a thing. Jerry Bass was all right, patting his **** and leaving. But Jerry West is not good, Colangelo, the general manager of the Suns, has a lot of energy in NBA. If Jerry West also patted like this and left, the Suns general manager It would be bad if the manager directed the anger and hatred towards Jerry Bass on the Lakers. Of course, it’s clear that Jerry West stands for the people, but in short, Jerry West represents the Lakers. He owed a favor to the Suns, stayed there to calm Colangelo's anger, and returned the favor by the way. Therefore, even if many people want to prevent this transaction from being completed, everyone’s goals are still different. The Bulls are purely troublemakers and belong to the chaotic evil camp, while the Lakers are trying to make troubles. Helping the Suns get better chips is chaotic and kind. As for the likes of Spurs Popovich staying there is to see if they can profit from this transaction if they can’t make trouble. It belongs to the chaotic neutral camp.

When there are so many messes in a transaction. The reason why this deal became so slow can be imagined, especially because of anger and unhappiness. Colangelo did not use his personal connections to help the Rockets and Barkley complete this deal. The team is now in the league's contacts. How could it be able to withstand so many big men? And most teams trade superstars. Although the superstars are allowed to choose their own teams, there are no teams that are too generous to even help with the chips. Even when Lin Han traded, the Lakers traded Lin Han's chips. The Jazz only provide the list, as for help? Sorry. There is absolutely nothing.

In this case, how can the Rockets compare to the Lakers, and even after getting these inside stories from Kupchak, Lin Han even wondered if the deal would have died so late on the deal deadline, and this It may not seem small at all.

Although Lin Han predicted more than once whether this transaction might eventually die, in the end, the transaction was completed. Although the process was quite bumpy, in the end, the transaction was completed.

The Phoenix Suns sent out the team's leading star Barkley and the team's renewal last season's swingman Ceballos and the team's second-round draft pick in 1996

The Rockets sent the team's point guards Sam Cassell and Robert Holly and Mr. Maxwell and Carl Herrera in the quarter-thirty quarter and the 1995 first-round draft pick and the 1997 first-round draft pick.

The Spurs are sending the team's backup point guard, former all-star point guard Doug Reeves and this season's 15+4 defender Pooh De Nagro and the expiring small forward Willie Anderson and the team's 1997 first-round draft pick

The Lakers gave away the 1995 draft picks from the Spurs this summer and their team's first-round draft picks in 1996.

In the end, the Phoenix Suns got Sam Cassell from the Rockets, Robert Holly and Willie Anderson and Karl Herrera from the Spurs, and of course, the 1995, 1997 first-round draft picks from the Rockets and The Spurs’ 1995 draft pick from the Lakers deal and the Lakers’ own 1996 first-round draft pick

The Rockets got Barkley from the Suns, Doug Grives from the Spurs, and Vinid Nagro.

The Spurs got two quasi-all-star swingmen, Ceballos and Maxwell, who are in short supply for their team.

As for the Lakers, they harvested the Spurs' 1997 draft picks and the Suns' second-round draft picks in 1996.

From this deal, it can be clearly felt that the Suns have harvested a lot of potential young players and players whose contracts have expired. This is to be rebuilt, and those four first-round draft picks are especially true.

As for the Rockets, sending away Maxwell, who is unwilling to play on the bench for his team, is a reduction in the tipping point for the team. As for Kassel and Holly, there is no way. The Suns are named by the name. People, they don’t give it either, but fortunately they got two ball guards Doug Reeves and De Nagro from the Spurs, and they don’t look like they’re losing money. After all, they got the deal. The biggest player Barkley.

As far as the Spurs are concerned, it is even more lossless, sending away a backup point guard who can’t hit the ball and a poorly defended combo guard Danagro in exchange for his team’s urgent need to average. The all-around swingman Ceballos, who scored 20 points, and the nerve knife Maxville, the league's number one, are all cheap deals. As for the 1997 first-round draft picks paid? In terms of the Spurs' strength, the 1995, 1996 and 1997 drafts were basically in the second half. 1995 has been given to the Lakers, plus the first round can not be sent for two consecutive years. So it can only be sent in 1997, and compared with 1995, the value of 1997 is much lower. You must know that these years are the draft year, from O’Neal in 1992 to Linhan in 1993 to Hill this year. People, the American basketball talent has blown out in recent years. The draft year not only looks at the high-ranked players in the front, but also pays more attention to the players in the middle and back of the first round. For the Spurs, both 1995 and 1997 are in the second half. Obviously, the value in 1995 is higher. Even 1995 has been sent, not to mention the first round of 1997 for Ceballos, a player with all-star strength. It seems to the Spurs that it is absolutely profitable.

Of course, the Suns feel that they have not lost, and the Rockets and Spurs feel that they have made a profit. So obviously, the only loss is the Lakers.

Because of the big hole dug by Jerebas. Jerry West returned the favor, and sent a more valuable draft year. The 1995 Spurs’ first-round signing was the Spurs’ 1997 draft pick, which was already a loss. In his first round of 1996, he got the second round of the Suns in 1996. This is also a loss, you know, if 1997 was a draft year. Then the value of the first and second rounds of the second half is about the same, but from another perspective. If 1996 was also a draft year, the Lakers did not lose much in the first round of the Suns in the second round. Judging from the recent blowout of American basketball talents like the 84th generation, it may be a draft year after 1996.

However, who made Jerry Bass get too big, the Suns would not have traded their own players to rebuild, it is because of the old Bass cause the Suns to make it so miserable, if Jerives I am afraid that the anger of Colangelo will really be a big deal, and for the Lakers, after having a core like Lin Han, they actually have little requirements on the draft, especially these are destined to Half of the draft is even more demanding, and the most important thing for the Lakers is the free market! Moreover, the free market is also the stage for the Lakers to maximize their energy, so it is not impossible to use the draft rights to calm the anger of the Suns. Moreover, if this person is Jerry West, Colangelo will not necessarily sell face. Accept the Lakers' apology.

When Barkley's transaction was completed, Lin Han was very moved when he saw the news from the newspaper at home.

This is not because after Barkley went to the Rockets, the Rockets' strength has become the biggest favorite to win the championship, but as a superstar, a mvp player who is more powerful than Lin Han's trade at that time, in the trade It would be so cold when it was.

In Lin Han's view, the transaction of players like Barkley requires at least a five-party, six-party, and the number of people who can't join the transaction is absolutely not small, but Lin Han is somewhat regretted that this transaction is only involved. Less than ten people arrived, much worse than Lin Han's deal.

Obviously in Lin Han's view, their level of players want to trade, it will be shocking.

If you let Jerry West know that Lin Han’s thoughts at this time would be laughed directly, in the history of NBA, transactions like Barkley have already been a big deal. After all, there are not many in the history of NBA. Even if there are giant star trades, most of the giant star trades are not as greedy as the Suns and the Jazz. In fact, the Jazz trade Lin Han and the Suns trade Barkley are extremely important in the history of all giant star trades. Greedy.

Of course, in any case, the deal was finally completed. Whether it was Lin Han's appearance or not, Barkley finally went to the Rockets.

At this time, watching these reports all touted the Rockets, Lin Han was also a bit speechless for a while. Although the Rockets are indeed the strongest team in the NBA, one team has three superstars. The roster is bigger than last year's Jazz.

As the United States said today, this team’s biggest enemy is no longer an opponent, but their own. Now it depends on whether the Rockets can build the team’s tactical system as soon as possible. Teams are combined, and this team will be invincible in recent seasons, even the Bulls should avoid their edge.

Therefore, after the completion of this transaction, the Houston Chronicle even wrote ‘The Houston dynasty is coming’ directly on the front page headline of its own newspaper.

Lin Han was really shocked when he saw this title. The Houston dynasty wants a team called the dynasty. At least have to win several championships? According to the most standard algorithm, three consecutive championships is the foundation. Obviously, this time the Rockets are thinking about the three consecutive championships.

And after the Houston Chronicle published such a title, there was hardly any objection from the major media throughout the United States. This Nima, such a lineup is scary here, Olajuwon, Barkley, Dray Kessler, if it was placed two years ago, this is the combination of the first center in the west plus the first power forward in the west plus the first shooting guard in the west. This Nima is against the rhythm of the sky, even now, Dray Kxler may not have been stronger than two years ago, but it is not much worse. Even Drexler has gone further in the style of the game. With Barley and Olajuwon still at the peak, even these three can still The three-year high-level time is no problem.

Not to mention that the American media has no doubt about the title of Houston, and when Lin Han returned to the team, after returning to the team’s training hall, even when the Lakers came and went, there was a kind of rainy day. feel.

Although the Lakers have never shouted the slogan to win the championship, or that the whole team has called for Lin Han, but everyone knows that Lin Han came to the Lakers of course not for money, of course, for the championship and honor.

In fact, for Lin Han, the Lakers up and down are also quite trusted, especially the Lakers players, there is almost a blind trust in Lin Han, I believe that as long as the ball is given to Lin Han, Lin Han can take them Win.

And now, even if he is not a Lakers player, Wang Zhizhi can feel the pressure the Lakers are facing at this time!

Not only the pressure faced by the Lakers players~www.wuxiaspot.com~ The same is true of the Lakers coaching staff, at least in recent times because of the very good atmosphere of the Lakers training ground, today there is a very depressing feel!

And Lin Han knows that when Barkley's deal is completed, this sense of depression is definitely not limited to the Lakers, the Bulls, Magic, Supersonics and other teams are definitely there!

"All blame our boss's big mouth"

After everyone in the Lakers came to the training hall, the team's atmosphere was not so right, but after Eddie Jones complained, the Lakers training ground laughed and the atmosphere was relaxed.

Looking at this time there are Lakers players who have become amused, and Karel and the Magician on the side have only a bitter smile.

I have to say that Eddie Jones is really good. The depression and pressure felt by so many strong teams in the league are really brought by the old Bath.

If Nima let Old Bath know his masterpiece, would the Lakers owner be happy? (To be continued...)
