When they arrived in Salt Lake City on the 3rd, the Hornaceks and his wife welcomed Wang Jun very much. He and Abby stayed at home and did not go to the hotel.

American families rarely care about their children's relationships and respect the choices of young people.

Abby's mother is even more realistic. After hearing that Wang Jun had just sold stocks and had a net worth of more than 200 million US dollars, she couldn't stop smiling. The Hornacek family had not had so much wealth after several generations of accumulation.

Everyone had breakfast together in the morning, and a shocking big deal was announced on the news, Paul Gasol left the Grizzlies and joined the Lakers.

This incident caused a stir online and people are discussing it.

After being injured at the 2006 World Championships, Gran Gasol's professional basketball career seemed to have begun to go downhill.

In addition to being swept over the playoffs year after year and being labeled as "soft egg" by fans and media, his status in the team, as the "Bear King", is no longer as good as that of that year. His name began to be frequently mentioned by various trading rumors. The Grizzlies want to train two newcomers, Conley and Guy.

There are rumors that the Bulls will send Tyson Chandler to pack role players and draft picks to recruit Gasol.

The Cavaliers, who came out halfway, seemed to be determined to win, and the chips were chosen by anyone except James.

The Hornets are willing to give Ben Wallace Grant draft pick for Gasolgar’s garbage contract, which seems to be full of sincerity.

The three companies all offered good chips, but Gasol eventually joined the Lakers in an uproar, and his glasses fell all over the floor.

The Lakers' bargaining chips are only the parallel pick Kwame Brown, retired veteran Aaron McGee, rookie Crittanton who does not play, and the signing rights of the second round fat man Mark Gasol in Europe. In 2008 and 2010, the two first-round draft picks were transferred to Gasol and the second-round draft pick in 2010.

Except for Brown, the Grizzlies didn't get anyone who could play.

Seeing that the Lakers' chips are not a trade at all, they are just robbery. The bosses of many teams expressed dissatisfaction, and some people openly protested. They believed that the two teams had conducted insider trading, and it was impossible for the Grizzlies manager and the boss to do this.

*Vicci is the person who condemned the strongest. He said he really couldn't understand the behavior of the Grizzlies.

"Their behavior in Memphis is beyond understanding. The alliance should set up a trading committee to capture those meaningless transactions. I just hope that I can be one of them and monitor those transactions. If I can, I will vote on this transaction in Los Angeles."

This deal made the Spurs extremely embarrassed. The Lakers became the Spurs' biggest competitor, and it can even be said to directly ruin the Spurs' hope.

The deal will certainly not be cancelled. The media said the Grizzlies' plan is to save salary space. The three-year, $49.4 million contract sounds like Gasol is a waste who signed a junk contract, but in fact he scored 189 points, 88 rebounds, and 3 assists.

According to the NBA transaction terms, the chips provided by the Lakers cannot reach the minimum level of completing the transaction in terms of salary, and the Grizzlies' salary cannot reach the salary cap.

A team whose salary barely reaches the salary cap sends away the star in order to save salary space? Why didn’t the boss sell the team directly and change it to a business and sell steamed buns? That’s cheap and there is no salary cap yet.

The funny thing is that the key to the final conclusion of the deal is McGee.

Kupchek found McGee, who served as interim assistant coach at the Sixers, and signed him a one-day contract worth $750,000. He was then traded to the Grizzlies.

For this "no way to do it, only unexpected" signing method, the alliance officials led by President David Stern did not even make a fart read; without any precedent, they directly acquiesced.

After obtaining Gasol, the Lakers soldiers have begun to look forward to a happy life in the future.

Chinese player Sun Yue also benefited and had the opportunity to wear the Lakers' jersey. The Lakers sent off the marginal defender Crittanton, and one player was missing from the back line.

Most of the Bulls fans were disgusted with the transaction, and some were full of confidence in the team.

"It is recommended that the Bulls sign Garfield with $750,000 a day, and package PJ Brown, Howard, Watson and two draft picks to replace Nowitzki to strengthen the team's No. 4 position. The Mavericks can clear up their salary space in the summer, and make more money than the Grizzlies. They can get one more experienced veteran."

"The league just wants the Lakers to win the championship. The Grizzlies won nothing except two draft picks. And the Lakers' first-round draft picks will definitely be very low in the next two seasons. Is this insider trading? What is insider trading?"

"The league doesn't want the Bulls to win three consecutive championships. The Celtics and the Lakers have started to join forces. Except for Duncan, Garnett and Nowitzki, the No. 4 position is Gasol's strongest. Odom can also shoot and support him. The Lakers are definitely the top three in the inside."

"If the Lakers have such a high salary, it will be embarrassing if they can't win the championship in the end. No matter how they change, I think they can't defend against Wang Jun in the finals, and they can still see the score."

Abby used a computer to view news and comments, and Wang Jun entered the living room and sat down next to Jeff Hornersek to watch TV together.

"This is very bad news, right? If you want to defend your title this year, you must defeat two difficult opponents." Horacek smiled.

"It's bad news, but I don't think the Lakers will definitely enter the Finals, and even if they enter, they are not afraid. Bynum is injured, and their outside defense also has weaknesses. Whether Radmanovic or Walton, Hill has an advantage against them. As long as I defeat Kobe and suppress their strongest points, the Bulls can win." Wang Jun said confidently.

Hornersek praised: "You have a good mentality and don't even complain. What about the Celtics? What do you think of them?"

"As long as teammates come back in the playoffs, the Bulls have the advantage in athletic ability and we are better off offense, and the defense is definitely a little better for the Celtics, it depends on whether they can break their defense line. In any case, I am the most critical." Wang Jun replied.

This is suspected of being self-proclaimed. If it were two seasons ago, Wang Jun would definitely not have said such high-profile words.

What he is talking about now is the truth. If he hadn't been able to support the regular season, the Bulls' record would have fallen out of the playoffs long ago.

The playoffs are different from the regular season. Star abilities are more important than lineup depth, with fewer rotation players and more single-handed matches.

Stars often make more moves in the playoffs, and if they cannot stand up and lead the team to win, their evaluation will be reduced.

Gasol is the most typical example. Although he is very stable, has good skills and high efficiency, he will be regarded as an unqualified leader if he doesn't win the playoffs. If he is more domineering, the Grizzlies will not want to rebuild and train newcomers. Being a second leader in a strong team is a good choice for him.

Hornersek did not disgust Wang Jun's confidence and smiled: "I am optimistic about the Bulls, but I hope it will be the Bulls vs. Jazz in the finals, not the Lakers."

As a retired star who lives in Salt Lake City, Horacek has a feeling for the Jazz.

Wang Jun came to the point: "Jeff, my offensive skills are not perfect yet. I need your help and give me some advice. Will it take some time to waste your time?"

"You are much stronger than me, what can I help you?" Horacek raised his eyebrows.

"I hope you can teach me the key points of throwing. The throwing can help me break double-team better. After breaking through, the pull-rod layup may be blocked.
