Chapter 478 James' new partner is(2/2)
The trading market began to become uneasy again at this time.
First of all, after the deal between the Timberwolves and the Clippers failed, the Celtics began to offer the Timberwolves as Sun Hao expected.
But...their offer was rejected by the Timberwolves.
The reason is very simple. Although the Celtics have poor record in the past two years, there are no special newcomers.
Some people would say Al Jefferson, the main bargaining chip in history as Garnett’s trading?
Jefferson... Because history has changed, he only played a substitute for Gasol last season, with averaging less than 10 points per game.
This is also the change brought about by the butterfly effect.
The three Celtic giants seem to be still in the womb.
But the next news interprets the sentence well: the east side is not bright, the west side is bright!
The Nuggets, who pursued Kidd's failure, did not stop their strengthening.
And this time they targeted a player who seemed incredible but had a higher feasibility than Kidd.
Alan Iverson!
Iverson's experience in the past few years has the feeling of "fifty steps and hundreds of steps" with the protagonist Garnett this summer.
The 76ers' record has continued to be sluggish in recent years, and unlike the Timberwolves, the management has been trying to strengthen.
First, it was Van Horn and Coleman, the second-place team of No. 1 picks, then the "big dog" Glenn Robinson, and then Chris Webber.
The team's management is not careless, but without exception, they cannot have chemical reactions with Iverson.
Iverson's average score per game is still very high, but the team's record still has no prompts.
He averaged 33 points per game but failed to lead the team to the playoffs, which is a microcosm of the 76ers now.
So the situation is different from Garnett, not that Iverson wants to leave, but that the 76ers want to take the initiative to make a change.
Even couples will have a relationship talk because they have been together for a long time, let alone the team and the players.
One person and one city are rare in the NBA, and that is not just the reason for players.
And another important reason that drives this potential transaction is the growth of "little AI" Iguodala.
NBA trading has a characteristic: the more rumors a transaction is, the lower the possibility of finalization.
If there are few rumors, it may suddenly be officially announced one day.
Just before the July freeze ended, the 76ers officially tweeted:
"Thanks to AI for her contribution to the city of Philadelphia over the past decade, and let us always remember the Sixers' AI, and we also wish him better performance and achievements in his next stop in Denver."
The 76ers sent Iverson to the Nuggets!
AI will go to Denver to start a new chapter in his career!
The specific transaction details are that the 76ers gave Iverson and got Jason Terry and Nene from the Nuggets, two future first-round picks and a trading exception worth 5 million!
According to subsequent ESPN reports, before the deal was concluded, the Clippers were also negotiating with the 76ers.
The Clippers tried to use Brand and Gasol as bargaining chips, La Timberwolves and the 76ers to form an internal and external dual-core lineup of Iverson and Garnett.
The reason why the deal failed in the end was Livingston.
This time the 76ers wanted Livingston, but the Clippers still didn't give it to them.
So in the end, the 76ers chose another trading partner, the Nuggets, and completed the deal!
After this deal, fans were completely blew up in the forum.
"Iverson plus James? This..."
"Foreigners are so pitiful, they can't even make a fuss!"
"This is so bad! The No. 1 pick of the 96 Golden Generation, and the No. 1 pick of the 03 Platinum Generation!"
"Nuggets won't use tactics next season. Iverson plays, Iverson plays, James plays, James plays, James plays, James plays..."
"I have a question, is there enough balls?"
"I'm also worried about this. AI and LeBron are both ball-holding. He doesn't match these two together!"
"Yes, it would be great if AI could go to the Clippers. He would definitely match the Wolf King. And if Livingston stayed, the Clippers would be the enhanced version of the 76ers, a favorite to compete for the championship!"
"It seems that it's not a favorite to compete for the championship now!"
"That's it! When the Nuggets were pursuing Kidd before, I didn't hear you say it didn't work! Look at the Olympics more and see how they played together!"
"It's not that AI can't play without the ball. He has been playing as a point guard when Larry Brown coached. That's his peak, okay?"
"I can't agree anymore. AI and LeBron are both stronger with the ball, but they can also play without the ball, and they will have chemical reactions!"
"Iverson, JR Smith, James, Martin, Camby, this starting lineup, I admit I'm sour!"
"The free market this year is lively enough! Mars will hit the Earth again next season!"
"I have a hunch that this is far from the end, and it may even be that the deal may not necessarily happen in the summer, but in next season."
"And if not, someone will eat shit on his hands?"
"By the way, who has found his snatch? I've always wanted to watch his video!"
...
Sun Hao, when he saw this transaction, his expression was the same: w(?Д?)w
Shocked with incredibleness.
He knew that Iverson and Anthony had joined forces in history, but now he is with James!
If you ask Sun Hao, the time traveler, can play basketball together, Sun Hao can't give a definite answer.
It’s not that James is much better than Anthony’s, but that the two of them have different playing styles, too different!
The biggest reason for the failure of Anthony and Iverson in history is that their playing styles are too similar.
The same emphasis on offense and defense also requires a lot of attack power, and the same will not organize attacks.
Generally, for a team, one such player is enough, and the number of players is to play the role of the sixth substitute.
As a result, the two of them were combined together, and the result was conceivable.
But James…is suitable for Iverson!
The Nuggets are still the same group in history, but after changing from Iverson to Billups, the team feels like "gold scales are not something in the pool, but when they encounter wind and clouds, they change dragons."
The reason behind this is obviously not that Billups is better than Iverson.
But Billups is more suitable for Anthony!
He made up for all the Anthony missing, which was able to defend and control the rhythm of the organization.
These are exactly what James is good at, and he can also do so better or even better than Billups!
Of course, the ball rights issue may become a potential problem for the Nuggets, which is also a challenge for head coach George Carl.
What exactly can these two people play like? Only in the new season will they know.
Chapter completed!
