As Ke Yan expected, Pat Riley had no interest in taking Hassell's junk contract. So, the next job was to find a third party to get the Heat's "valuable" first-round pick at a cost of

Take Hassell's crappy contract.

The Timberwolves, the Hawks' "close" partners, once again played this role, taking Hassell's three-year, 12 million contract and taking away the Heat's 2008 first-round pick.

The three parties will even further expand their suggestions, and ultimately each will get what they need. The transaction plan is as follows:

The Hawks sent Daniel Gibson, Trenton Hassell, and their 2009 second-round pick to the Timberwolves for the No. 41 pick.

The Timberwolves sent out the No. 41 pick, Ricky Davis, in exchange for Trenton Hassell, Jason Williams, the Heat's 2008 first-round pick and the Hawks' 2009 second-round pick.

The Heat sent out their 2008 first-round pick, Jason Williams, and got Daniel Gibson and Ricky Davis.

In this transaction, each of the three parties gets what they need. The Timberwolves strengthened the team's weakest point guard position and also received a first-round pick; Hassell does not have the personal ability of Ricky Davis, but he also does not have the opponent's thorns.

Due to his head attributes, he is not so resistant to playing as a substitute.

The Eagles cleaned up the team's junk contracts. Although Ke Yan was a little unhappy at not getting the Heat's 2008 first-round pick, for the Eagles whose total salary exceeded the luxury tax threshold, they got rid of Hassell's contract.

The salary luxury tax can save 8 million US dollars in one season, which is 24 million US dollars in three years, which is almost the team's profit for this season (the NBA profits at that time were not what they are now.)

As for getting a second-round pick specifically, Larry Sander's idea was to "appease" Ke Yan and select Sun Yue.

Good guy, are you kidding?

The Heat's situation has been completely opened up through this deal. Gibson can strengthen the team's outside shooting, and although Ricky Davis has some personality problems, he is comprehensive and has full impact, which can make up for the Heat's decline due to the aging of O'Neal.

scoring ability.

Just sacrificing a future first-round pick completely opened up the team's current predicament. Partelly was very satisfied with his handiwork and even waved his fist after reaching the deal.

As for the Eagles, Larry Sander pretended to be relaxed and said: "With the 41st pick, we should be able to select Sun Yue, right?"

"Did I say I wanted to choose him?" Ke Yan frowned and asked.

Being choked by Ke Yan, Larissander didn't feel embarrassed and instead smiled.

Ke Yan has said this, doesn't it mean that he has a suitable candidate? Otherwise, it's better to use the raw than the familiar, right?

After checking the names of two people from the personnel list, Ke Yan asked the scouting team for the draft reports of the two people who participated in the joint trial.

"Marc Gasol", "Raymond Sessions"

Soon, emails regarding the trial training reports of the two rookies were sent.

"Marc Gasol has great upper body strength; just like Pau Gasol, he has a soft touch;

When in the low post, he can hold his position and his basic skills are very solid;

When in position, Gasol is a very good rebounder and can physically confront opponents at the basket;

He also has good vision and can quickly get the ball to the right teammate;

Enjoy physical confrontation and be able to squeeze opponents out of the basket.

His athletic ability is below average, his steps are very slow, and he needs to speed up before he can play in the NBA;

The movements lack flexibility and are somewhat mechanical, and you must control your body;

Lacking explosive power, he may not be able to become an NBA-level shot blocker.

The lateral movement speed is very slow, typical of European insiders, and there are adaptation problems.”

“Raymon Sessions can create his own shooting opportunities, has very good ball control skills, and can use quick dribbling and changes of direction and speed to get rid of opponents;

He can easily enter the penalty area, is also a very flexible finisher, and is very aggressive in transition;

He has a good ability to draw fouls. He averaged 7 free throws per game in college and his free throw percentage was 82.4%;

The passing quality is good, and he can use sudden points to help his teammates create offensive opportunities;

Can be a good on-ball defender and likes to take the opponent's ball.

Being short in height, he is easily suppressed by strong defenders;

When he enters the state, he will take some unreasonable shots;

Long-range shooting ability is relatively mediocre;

The ankle injury may affect his career."

Gasol is the best big man in this draft, but he is a rough diamond and needs several seasons of polishing to grow up. Moreover, he will not land in the NBA this season and may not give the ball the first opportunity.

The team brings help; Sessions is a representative of the counterattack of low-ranked rookies. In his rookie season, he had a miraculous performance of 24 assists in a single game, which shocked the league. He was also a qualified backup point guard for most of his career. The problem

Yes, the Hawks already have a Barea, and obviously there is no need for Sessions, whose role partially overlaps.

In the long run, it’s Gasol~

Ke Yan studied Taobao's goals here, and the draft competition continued.

The Hornets selected Cavalry Company Captain Corey Brewer with the seventh overall pick. The Captain has excellent physical condition, excellent outside defensive ability, and is also good at fast break counterattacks. The disadvantage is that his offensive ability with the ball is average and his outside shooting is poor.

It's relatively unreasonable and may not be useful for the Hornets.

With the eighth pick, the 76ers selected Brayden Wright, another potential insider and a close brother of Yi Jianlian. The two worked together in the Mavericks in 2012, and Wright did all the dirty work and had a good attitude.

He convinced Carlisle and found his place in the NBA; while Yi Jianlian left the NBA after this season.

Compared with Yi Jianlian and Wright, Noah, the ninth pick, has had a lot of success in his career. He has won two big contracts with the Bulls and Knicks. He also led the Bulls to the Eastern Conference Finals with Rose, and even

In the 1213 season, he became a first-defense player and can be regarded as a representative figure of the declining era of centers.

The following rookies quickly took their places. The Rockets first selected Little Black Bean Brooks with the 26th pick, and then took away Carl Landry with the 31st pick. After Mo Gou became the general manager, the Rockets' draft work included

A significant improvement.

Larry Sander's original intention was to select "Sun Yue", not to mention that Ke Yan had other candidates, Sun Yue just couldn't be selected with the 41st pick. The Suns who were a flower grower were picked by the Lakers with the 40th pick, which also made

Chinese fans are very excited. Everyone wants to see Sun Yue and Kobe competing on the same court.

"With the 41st overall pick in the 2007 draft, the Minnesota Timberwolves selected Marc Gasol from Barcelona, ​​Spain!"

In the second round of the draft, except for die-hard fans, most fans will not pay special attention. When Stern pronounced the name, everyone said "Oh". The main reason is the name Gasol. Maybe fans who pay attention to Fiba

You will also remember that in the 2006 World Championship final, the Spanish team counterattacked the Greek team despite losing Pau Gasol, and the best player in the final was officially Marc Gasol.

But.

.

.

.How many big men have the Timberwolves hoarded? What is the future if Gasol goes to the Timberwolves?

Gasol, who was far away in Barcelona, ​​saw this result on TV, and his first reaction was speechless!

What the hell! Why are you going to the Timberwolves?

Gasol is very resistant to this result. If he had known earlier, he would rather not sign up for the draft, and then automatically participate in the draft when he reaches 23 years old. After being "ignored", he can freely choose a suitable team to play for.

But now, he has no choice but to go to the Timberwolves. Unless he never joins the NBA, his first stop must be the Timberwolves.

"Gan!" After soaking his head in the water for a while, Gasol regained his true nature. Isn't he the Timberwolves? Isn't he Bynum? Isn't it winter for six months of the year? What's the big deal!

No one can stop Marc Gasol from conquering the NBA!

When I came out of the bathroom, the phone rang. It was my brother Pau Gasol.

"Hello~"

"Mark, I have some good news for you. You are going to the Hawks!" Pau Gasol was worried that his younger brother would resist the Timberwolves. As soon as he saw the news of the trade, he couldn't wait to call back to inform Gasol.

"Hawks?" Gasol was a little confused. He was just thinking about counterattacking Bynum, but his opponent was upgraded to Garnett! "Isn't it the Timberwolves?"

"A three-party transaction is more complicated to say. In short, your signing rights now belong to the Eagles. Mark, Kimi is a good coach! Boris Diaw was born in his hands, and Darko is in his hands.

His performance was also good," Pau Gasol said.

European players are not easy to get along with in the United States. Skilled players such as Nowitzki and Pau Gasol are often ridiculed as "softies". Relatively speaking, Ke Yan is a head coach who is friendly to European players.

Moreover, Ke Yan prefers an insider with strong support ability, good tactical awareness, and preferably a shooting hand. Gasol is more suitable.

The three-party trade was exposed, the Gasol brothers were extremely happy, and fans of the three teams had different attitudes.

Hawks fans are very dissatisfied with the team's decision to do everything possible to save money. After all, Gibson was trained by the team after spending some effort last season. Don't use the excuse that Ke Yan did this deal because he was interested in Gasol. You are a fool.

Everyone knows that if a team really wants Gasol, it can get him a second-round pick at any price. The only purpose of this deal is to save money for the boss.

It is definitely not a normal idea for a championship team to think about saving money all day long!

On the contrary, Heat fans are as rejoicing as Pat Riley. According to "Bricks", the rating of the Heat's deal is A! Both Gibson and Ricky Davis are players that the Heat need.

.In terms of resume and age, the two of them are more suitable than the previous veterans in the team.

The Timberwolves' trade rating is also B. Jason Williams is a point guard who can send comfortable passes to the young Wolves. The Heat's draft pick has a certain value and may increase in value to the middle of the first round.

, for the Timberwolves in the rebuilding period, the draft pick is the bargaining chip for rebuilding.

At this point, the draft has come to an end, and the free market is about to begin.

On July 1, the free market opened, and the first news to break was the contract renewals of several superstars.

Carter renewed his contract with the Nets with a 41-year contract, with a total contract value of 80 million. Considering Carter's age, this is a very risky contract, but the Nets do not have many options. Carter can provide the Nets with a guarantee

, can bring "box office" to the team. Kidd may leave the team in the new season, and Carter needs to bear more on the team.

Billups renewed his contract with the Pistons with a five-year, $60 million contract. This is a relatively cheap contract. Billups is considered a player in the league who does not have such a strong desire for money. Compared with the growth of the numbers in his bank account,

He hopes to achieve better results with the Pistons.

Dwight Howard renewed his contract with the Magic for 80 million in five years. This is nothing to say. Although he was "blacked out" last season, Howard led the team back to the playoffs in the third year of his rookie contract. His potential is mediocre.

Doubtful!

Gerald Wallace, Nocioni and Luke Walton have all completed contract extensions with their parent teams.

One day later, the Eagles completed two signings. Chris Anderson and Brandon Bass joined the team with minimum salaries and became members of the Eagles.

Needless to say, Birdman, it has long been a certainty that he will join the Eagles after the suspension period ends. In other words, this is another kind of mutual fulfillment. Only Ke Yan is willing to believe that Birdman can perform as well as he did before the suspension.

As for Bass, he must have seen the improvement of Stevens after one season with the Hawks. Now in the free agent market, Stevens is highly sought after!

After adding two insiders, the Hawks also suffered personnel losses. Milicic joined the Bobcats with a four-year, 24 million contract.

This was an expected loss of personnel. Ke Yan called and "questioned" Snyder a few words, then hung up the phone and continued busy with the Eagles.

Grant Hill hesitated for a long time between the Hawks and the Suns, and finally signed with the Suns on an 11-year contract. For this veteran, the championship is indeed very attractive, but playing healthy is also crucial!

The Suns have the best team of doctors in the league, the warm climate in Phoenix is ​​more suitable for recuperating the body, and the Suns are willing to promise Hill to be the team's starting small forward, which is something the Hawks cannot provide.

To put it simply, Hill hasn't felt that it's time for him to give up, and he hopes to try harder with his own efforts.

Ke Yan respected Hill's decision and turned his attention to others.

On July 3, another heavyweight trade broke out. The Mavericks sent Devin Harris, Desaguena Diop, Maurice Aige, Marquis Daniels, Keith Van Horn,

Two future draft picks and some cash were acquired from the Nets in exchange for Jason Kidd and Antoine Wright.

The Mavericks were defeated in the first round of the playoffs. Harris Terry's backcourt combination was too thin, and the scene of being chased by Baron Davis was heart-wrenching. The team actively sought changes to compete with stronger teams.

Kidd came to partner Terry.

At the same time, Kidd, who has stronger organizational skills, can also change the Mavericks' singles situation and add some coordination.

The Nets acquired the younger, faster and more flexible Devin Harris through this deal, which also enriched the team's bench.

Without waiting for the players to report, the Nets once again made a deal, using Jason Collins, Diop and the first-round pick given by the Mavericks to trade for Dalembert from the 76ers!

The starting lineup of Harris, Carter, Jefferson, Krstic, and Dalembert is considered well-off when looking at the Eastern Conference!

Kidd became the biggest player in the trading market, and Rashard Lewis became the first person to change his contract in the free agent market. Lewis signed with the Toronto Rams for 108 million in six years, becoming the first player in the history of the Rams.

The biggest player signed in the free agent market. The shooting ability of his striker combination with Bosh and Bagliani is definitely No. 1 in the league!

The overall competitiveness of the Eastern Conference is indeed slowly improving!
