Chapter 608 The Wolf King Escapes from Minnesota (1)
"Why do I often have tears in my eyes? Because I love Minnesota deeply." In the summer of 2007, Garnett put his loyalty to the Timberwolves on the table.
That being said, but his fate with the Timberwolves is definitely over.
So Garnett said again: "But it's time to change."
After the season, the Pacers successfully won the championship and continued their dominance. The Timberwolves were about to start sending Garnett out of the team.
Celtics general manager Danny Angie began to get along with Timberwolves general manager Kevin McHale.
It is not enough to have friendship in this kind of thing, and Anji also needs to show enough sincerity.
There are many Celtics who can take action, and they have accumulated a lot of young talents. Therefore, climbing friendship is to open a window of dialogue, and chips are the key to success or failure of a transaction.
The wind was getting louder and louder outside, and Garnett was about to go east.
At this time, Garnett issued a statement through his agent: "KG will not go to Boston. If the transaction is reached, he will break out of the contract after one season and will never renew the contract with the Celtics."
This is not the first time Garnett has expressed his opinion that he doesn't want to go to the Celtics. It has been once during the season, and now it's again.
Garnett's statement was terrible. For the Celtics who were determined to get him, the terrible degree of this incident was the same as Cousins later threatening his next family, "Who dares to trade and wait until I become a free agent, will never renew your contract with you."
Garnett's most popular place is Phoenix. Steve Nash is brilliant and has a gorgeous and unparalleled teammates. All of his teammates who work with him have won big contracts. However, this is not important. The Wolf King is not short of money. It should be that his money will not be bad. The key is, who doesn't want to be a teammate with Nash?
Comparing with the Celtics, anyone will choose the sun.
Pierce led Green Kaihao to 18 consecutive losses last season, ranking last with 24 wins in the Eastern Conference. Let's take a look at their roster: Except for Pierce, who averaged 18 shots per game, who scored 25 points and 3.2 turnovers per game, this team is almost all under 25 years old.
That West looked debilitating and looked unrighteous; the short but fat person who liked to circle around the basket, and a man should let go of his hands and feet and have a big fight; what the hell is that red-haired person? There is also a short man with no neck who doesn’t even have a layup in the inside, and there is also a thin guard who only knows how to pass the ball, with a look of "I’m the world’s number one" but can’t even understand the shooting?
Ratliff? What a familiar name, haven't retired yet?
Olovokandi? Isn’t this a waste that just got out of me!
Gerald Green? Why are even disabled people with only nine fingers playing basketball?
Garnett doesn't want to go to the Celtics, that's why.
The old, weak, sick, disabled, arrogant, and idiot guards who can't shoot are hell compared to the Suns.
The Celtics were able to give out generous bargaining chips, and Garnett's solemn statement choked them up.
The Timberwolves suddenly lost their inch.
After Xie Hou, who was on vacation in Finland, heard this news and said, "It would be funny if KG did not leave while making a fuss."
Xuewei said: "Isn't that good? If he continues to stay in the Timberwolves, there will be no threat."
It was indeed a family, and I began to worry about whether other players would pose a threat to the Pacers.
"As long as he doesn't join the Spurs, Lakers or Suns, I don't think there will be any major threat." Xie Hou smiled faintly.
Unexpectedly, a prophecy came true.
After the negotiations between the Celtics and the Timberwolves were frozen by an off-field incident, Angie hesitated.
Just like hesitating for the disgust of another omnipotent unicorn years later on.
The Lakers were dispatched, and the Celtics' enemies were in trouble. It was impossible for them not to dispatch.
The Lakers want Garnett, and they show sincerity when they come up.
Carter David Lee has two conditional first-round picks for Garnett.
Kobe was unshakable and directly took action against Carter, who had passed the peak, David Lee, who had All-Star Position, plus two first-round draft picks.
The Lakers have been a box office team for several years, and Kobe is in the blink of an eye and can no longer be exhausted. They must compete for the lineup to compete for the championship.
The Timberwolves have a bigger appetite than the Lakers think.
They demanded Ilyasova and more draft picks in the deal.
The lion's big trunk choked up again.
The Timberwolves don't want to give Garnett to the Lakers, because the reason is clear. Both teams in the Western Conference have a grudge.
In the 2004 Western Conference Finals, the Timberwolves' peak season in history, they stopped at the OK Lakers.
Now the Lakers want Garnett? They won’t consider trading with the Lakers if they don’t let their blood be.
Garnett's will makes it twice as difficult for Celtics to trade to Garnett.
The Timberwolves management did not want to give Garnett to the Lakers, as deep as Garnett was unwilling to go to the Celtics.
The Lakers and Celtics are not only the only ones who want Garnett.
There are many teams that need strategic reinforcement.
The knight is here.
The Cavaliers General Manager called and gave the Jason Tricarlos Boozer draft pick.
This is a good plan, reflecting the sincerity of the Knights. They overdraw the future of the next three years to exchange for Garnett's one-year use rights.
Garnett looks down on the Celtics, and may not necessarily look down on the Cavaliers. The Cavaliers are actually just right for Garnett. Wade's pick-and-roll offense, and Garnett is a pick-and-roll player, who can shoot outside the three-point line, and can break Boozer's rotten meat out of the Milky Way on the defensive end.
He is willing to work with Wade, but in Cleveland? There are not many people who are willing to play where to play.
The Cavaliers are sincere enough. Two All-Stars plus multiple draft picks for one year of Garnett use. Who would do this?
They bet on the championship.
If the championship is successful, Garnett may stay.
If the championship fails, their original lineup will reach the point where it should be dismantled and rebuilt.
Over the past few years, the Knights have been adhering to the strategic policy of hoarding flanks and blocking Xie Hou.
Unfortunately, under the rules of the new era, super giants like Xie Hou who have no shortcomings in the ball holding the ball can no longer be defended.
The only one who can defend them is himself.
The Cavaliers risked being traded by the Timberwolves and the team was in turmoil.
The Timberwolves thought it seriously and chose to put the deal on hold.
They did not stop the transaction and regarded the Knight's plan as a spare tire.
Their plan is good, but the Timberwolves don't like it.
Terry and Boozer have 5 draft picks, which may be the most cost-effective of these trading plans recently.
This happens to be a plan that the Timberwolves don't like.
They don't need All-Stars, they need potential stocks Terry and Boozer to keep the Timberwolves ready for a few years, but that's not what the management wants. They don't want the ready for a few years, they want the future.
In the future, you need to play badly. If these two people are there, it is difficult to play badly and cannot win the championship. The situation of being neither up nor down is the most embarrassing.
Xie Hou was very concerned about the progress of the transaction.
The Cavaliers entered the field, which made him even less likely to go out for relaxation.
I was outside the cabin all day long, basking in the sun, and opening my laptop to brush up information.
"What will happen if KG goes to the Knight?" Xuewei asked.
This may be the result that Xie Hou least wants to see.
He previously said that as long as Garnett doesn't go to the Lakers, Spurs, and Suns, it doesn't matter.
Because these three teams are Western teams, they are all the types of people who will become dominant teams after Garnett.
He didn't consider the East because only the Celtics showed strong desire for Garnett in the East. So what if the Celtics got Garnett? It's not scary.
The Knight is different.
They stopped at the Eastern Conference Finals again, and the team building strategy of accumulating wing groups has been implemented to the limit. It makes no sense to accumulate people on the wings, and they need strategic forces to join.
So they put Terry and Boozer in the deal so aggressively.
Terry and Boozer are both All-Stars and Quasi-All-Stars, and they are both offensive superstars. What are the consequences if they are exchanged for Garnett?
Xie Hou analyzed the Cavaliers' lineup, and his answer was that there was no negative impact.
Terry's style complements Wade, but their figures do not complement each other.
If Terry had a height of about 196 cm, the Cavaliers would leave him and Wade to continue to form double guns. The problem is that height looks ordinary, but no one can teach him.
Terry and Wade have been partnering with each other for four years and have achieved certain achievements, but the double-short backcourt partner will definitely become the opponent's breakthrough, which is determined by height.
Boozer has the ability to average 20 points per game, and his pick-and-roll offense with Wade is a difficult problem for each team.
The offense is sharp and the defense is poor. Four years of inspection have proved that he is not the champion inside.
If they can exchange for Garnett, the latter is enough to offset Boozer's loss. Terry's departure makes the Cavaliers lose a per-field fire point that averages 17 points per game, and the gap he leaves will be filled by the wing group one by one.
If the deal can be completed, the Cavaliers will blow the championship charge.
The Knights have good expectations for this deal, but from the Timberwolves' perspective, this is not the best solution.
They treated the Knight's plan as a spare tire and continued to wait.
After the Cavaliers' chips were exposed, Cleveland first expressed opposition, and their reaction was so intense that Terry and Boozer were their reborn parents.
Only those who have worked in the media for many years know that their fierce reaction is just to indirectly comfort Boozer and Terry. If the deal can be completed, the first one to come out and applaud will be the one who will be the one who will be the one who will be the one who will be there.
The Cavaliers' plan has similarities with the Lakers' plan.
They are not stingy with draft picks, and there are All-Stars among the players who take action.
A large number of All-Stars draft picks are exchanged for superstars, which is a common routine.
The Timberwolves refused, what does it mean? They don’t want All-Stars, they want potential stocks and draft picks, All-Stars? Don’t.
"It seems that there will be no result today."
On July 6, Xie Hou was waiting until dark, and Xuewei asked him to enter the house for his honeymoon.
Chapter completed!
