Paxson immediately contacted the Pistons to express their intention to trade, only for Pistons manager Joe Dumas to refuse, saying that Rashid was not for sale.Ben Wallace's departure will not have much impact on the Pistons system, unlike Rashid, he can't pull the Pistons on the offensive end inside.It's easy to find a blue-collar on the inside, but it's hard to find someone to replace Rashid's role.And because of Milicic, Joe Dumas has a shadow of the list.Aldridge's template is Rashid, why not just keep Rashid The Bulls management discussed for a while, Nowitzki is suitable for the Bulls system, but they all know that Cuban and Nowitzki have a very good relationship, and although the Mavericks lost in the finals this year, they are also very strong, and they will build a team with Nowitzki as the core.Skales made a suggestion."
How about Pau Gasol, the Grizzlies are out of the first round of the playoffs for three years in a row, they will want to rebuild, and we will trade a potential rookie for him, and the Grizzlies should be tempted.They can free up salary space and poach people in the free market. ”Ivanka responded: "This line, I heard that the Grizzlies still want to sell Battier in exchange for rookie development this season, one is training, and two are too."
It is likely to succeed. ”Furman objected."
Gasol has the quality and can definitely improve the team, but there's a problem, if he comes, we may be a thorn in the side of the league next season.""
Why" Skyles did not understand."
Because the Bulls are all international players inside and out, we're a special team.The alliance affirmed Wang Jun's strength because of the development direction of the alliance, they put their long-term goal in China, and the cooperation interests are great, but the alliance cannot give up the popularity of local stars. ”The reaction of everyone present was not slow, and they immediately understood the reason.Would the league want to see two teams with international players at the core to abuse homegrown stars, maybe a season.In the second season, the president should have a headache, the hegemony of American basketball is gone, and the dignity is trampled.At that time, league officials stumbled in the playoffs and arranged referees who didn't like Wang Jun, such as the bald Crawford.That's enough for the bull.A good team management should not only consider the situation of the team.It is also necessary to consider the wind direction of the alliance, just like buying stocks, it is only beneficial to follow the broader market.The original net team sent Wang Jun away also out of this consideration.Wang Jun was banned several times, and the league happened to crack down on court violence, so the boss felt that Wang Jun was inappropriate, and he was cheated.Wang Jun controlled his temper if he fought again.The alliance may just pull him into the blacklist.Assistant coach Ron Adams never spoke.Wait until everyone has no good opinions before speaking."
I have a suggestion to try a trade with the SuperSonics in exchange for their second-in-command, Rashad Lewis, who swings at the No. 3 and No. 4 positions, is good at shooting three-pointers, and he can also rely on his skills to score on the opponent's big man on the baseline."
Paxson's eyes lit up immediately.Skyles was silent for a moment, then nodded.'
This guy is really good and suits the tactics of the team.He is much better than Nocioni and Lore Deng in three points. ”The team played small-ball tactics, with Nocioni often occupying the bottom left corner.Although the three-point range was also scored, the shooting percentage was only 343.If it is replaced by Lewis, it is equivalent to a shotgun change, Wang Jun attracts defense, and Lewis's empty three-point shooting rate will never be less than 4 percent.Others agreed that what the bulls needed was someone who could pull the space away.Although Lewis is very skinny, his defensive style is similar to that of Lore Deng, and he is not suitable for resistance, but it doesn't matter, the team will not give him this kind of difficult job to grab people, and the defense has Chandler.Lewis can play two positions, the No. 3 and No. 4 positions can ensure efficiency, and sharing playing time with David Lee and Lore Deng, the Bulls' forward line will become very strong.Best of all, Lewis, who was selected for the 2005 All-Star Game, earns less than $10 million a year, which is cheaper than Chandler.In 2007 and 2008, there was a player option and he could jump out of his contract.If he doesn't play well, the Bulls can just renew his contract and free up salary space to renew others in the future.If you play well, the Bulls have an extra All-Star.This is more reliable than cultivating Lore Deng, and Lore Deng's inability to shoot threes is a big weakness.The SuperSonics lack an orthodox No. 4 position, which is why they have been playing poorly, and Aldridge will certainly tempt them.Paxson contacted the SuperSonics manager and offered a trade to trade Lewis for the No. 2 pick and catch Darius Sangueira.The two inside lines are changed to one person, the supersonic side does not agree, Sangeira's data last season was too poor, and the marginal man will definitely not jump out of the second year of the contract, and the other party doubts whether he is useful.The initial intention was reached, and the SuperSonics were indeed preparing for a big change, and they even wanted to send Ray Allen away, just to free up salary space.They don't care if they get a bad contract, as long as they can meet the minimum salary cap.The SuperSonics are making a big change and are planning to leave Seattle and relocate their home stadium to Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, for a fresh start.Their rebuilding will be the most thorough, as long as the newcomers and the contracts that are about to end, no high salaries.For two days, the two sides began to bargain.The SuperSonics have no interest in Sangeira, Hayes' contract expires and he can't be a bargaining chip before the extension, and the Bulls still have a lot of non-sale items and not many options.With the draft approaching, there isn't much time left for both sides to think about it, and decisions must be made as soon as possible.The SuperSonics were interested in Aldridge and quickly put forward their chips, they wanted Nocioni, they didn't need to add cash or anything, and the list was worth a lot of money.Without the Bulls having to say anything, they favored Nocioni over Lore Deng because of the contract.Nocioni expires next season, and a contract extension that plays well is definitely cheaper than Lewis, and if he doesn't play well, he will let it go directly.Lewis's 2007 contract is almost a foregone conclusion, and if he executes his contract until 2009 and becomes a complete free agent, he will be 30 years old by then, and it will be difficult to sign another long-term contract with a high salary.28 years old is just right, and you can sign for five or six years.It would be his last big contract, and then his form would inevitably slip.The SuperSonics manager didn't want to delay, knowing that he had to hurry, the Trail Blazers knew that the Bulls were going to "cut off", and the manager also called Paxson to increase his chips and sign No. 4 for Ade.The SuperSonics weren't interested in Thomas, and the coach didn't like the kind of guy who couldn't shoot.The Bulls management had no opinion and thought it was feasible, and Paxson made a decision, and the deal was settled.Unless there is an accident in the No. 1 pick, and the Raptors do not choose Bagnani, there will be variables.With Aldridge's loss in the NCAA, Bagnani is now the highest-rated and the top pick is almost predetermined.The SuperSonics got the two players they wanted, almost finished the rebuild, and only needed to send Ray Allen away.Wang Jun will soon get the good news that the Bulls will be stronger next season.The other teams are going to be out of luck.Wang Jun, Lewis, and Hinrich all have strong three-point ability, all of which are above 40 shooting percentages, and as long as they are not abnormal, the Bulls' outside firepower will be the first in the league.s:
