Guard With a Knife

The Knicks deal happened peacefully and did not cause too many waves. Pinshu.com

Although some people say that the Knicks lost money, some people say that the Chicago Bulls lost money. But overall, the magnitude of the shock is not large.

After all, from a transaction point of view, this is a deal where everyone gets what they want. The Knicks enriched the immediate combat power of the 1st position, and the Bulls cleaned up the redundancy of the 1st position, and at the same time won a first-line shooter's expiring contract. In addition, Chris Duhon was originally the Bulls' No. 3 point guard, and now he returns, and he doesn't need too much running-in.

It was the Orlando Magic who really made a big splash on draft night, eager to reinforce after losing their Finals qualification to Howard's dramatic injury. Send them Lafer Alston, Tony Batty and Courtney Lee, and get All-Stars Skater and Ryan Anderson from the basketball team.

It seems that they are going to put all their eggs in one basket for the championship. Since 2007, accumulating stars in order to win the championship has become the consensus of all teams. After all, the precedents of the Boston Celtics and Los Angeles Lakers are in sight.

The Knicks reached a verbal contract extension agreement with Stephon Marbury on the second day after announcing the deal, for 2 years and 6.5 million US dollars.

The price even exceeded Duge's expectation. He thought Marbury would cut his salary, but he didn't expect it to be so much lower. Based on his performance in the playoffs, it is entirely possible for him to get a three-year $18 million contract with any team, and he can even get more in some rebuilding teams with youth teams as the team.

"I'm old, I have enough money, I don't want to go to other cities. I love New York, I love the days of playing with Snook and this group of 'losers'."

Marbury told the media in a very peaceful voice.

This made New York fans suddenly realize how unobjective they were in criticizing Marbury before. He has never been a person who puts money first, he gives real money to charity, he produces 30 dollar sneakers for the boys on the street, and he gives cars to the rookies on the team... Although, He does haggle over contracts. However, he wasn't alone in his criticism of Kay Garnett's huge contract that caused the league to shut down.

Son of New York! !

Marbury finally regained his title.

When he stood beside Doug, no one said he was a selfish lone wolf. He won back the peak of the second wave of his career, and that's why he stated in the contract that if Snook is traded, the contract will be bought out in the form of full salary.

Everyone knows that if Doug leaves, the Knicks will soon return to their old ways.

Both Donny Walsh and James Dolan agreed to this clause because they did not intend to trade Doug. And... even if the situation changes one day, such a thing really happens. 6.5 million is not an unaffordable figure.

Doug made a point of meeting Kirksinley in New York before heading off to Asia for business.

Kirksinley is a handsome and charming white man. His arrival has improved the overall appearance of the Knicks.

And, he's definitely not some embroidered pillow for nothing. His style of play is very tough, and he was even selected to the NBA's second defensive team in 2007. Moreover, he can also achieve stable output on the offensive end, and he is very commanding on the court. Before the arrival of Derrick Rose, he was a rare member of the 170 club in the league (the sum of free throws, shooting, and three-point shooting).

If you have to give him a definition, he is probably a weakened version of Lupus.

When Kirksinley saw Doug in the coffee shop, he quickly walked over and hugged Snu: "It's great to be on the same team with you. I can't wait to start my 09-10 season. can do great things.”

The white point guard, who has been the leader of the locker room in the Chicago Bulls for three years and five years in rebuilding the core, set himself up for the first time: "I can do anything for you, I can even become a pitcher."

Doug smiled, patted him on the shoulder, and told him, "I'm not Derrick Rose.

"

Dug and Rose are the best rookies of the 2008 double yolk egg, but in essence. Dug is not the kind of player who oppresses his teammates and asks all teammates to match his style of play. He can blend with Stephon Marbury, and of course he can manage the ball with Kirksinley at the same time.

The talks between the two sides were very sincere, and the use of various tactics was discussed in depth.

Kirksinley played four years at the University of Kansas, and the difference between him and those freshmen rushing into the league is that he may not be as physical as them, but his understanding of tactics is very good. This is probably the reason why he was able to debut with the seventh overall pick in the 2003 NBA Draft, when there were so many talented players.

After speaking with Kirksinley.

Doug went upstairs to meet James Dolan again. James Dolan had a very comprehensive plan. He confided in Doug that he wanted to trade Jeffries. He also talked about his recent contact with the Phoenix Suns. They intend to make comprehensive reforms and completely fall into the position from running and bombing. So...they even made an offer to trade Stoudemire for Zach Randolph.

Doug did not express his opinion.

Jeffries had an extremely eye-catching performance in the playoffs just past, and his wing defense and off-the-ball cuts gave the team a lot of help. Although the arrival of James Johnson will offset part of his role. But from an emotional point of view, Duge is unwilling to easily let go of his comrades who once fought with him.

As for Zach Randolph, although there were some contradictions in the play styles of the two sides in the last two games, Duger believes that there is still hope.

"As your skills become more and more comprehensive, we really don't need those single players who consume too much possession."

As Doug left the office, James Dolan said such a meaningful sentence.

Far from being an idiot, Doug strode out of the locker room.

He can understand the boss's thoughts and hidden motives in doing so.

Currently, with Stephon Marbury signing the minions, the Knicks' cap space is much healthier. But Jeffries, Eddy Curry and Zach Randolph are still big long-term burdens.

Eddie Curry is difficult to trade out, although his performance has recovered somewhat in the playoffs. But which idiot would take in a big fat guy with an annual salary of 15 million but who can only attack three tricks? Unless it is possible to take Snu. But ... currently, the Knicks are unlikely to trade Snook.

Therefore, James Dolan locked his eyes on Jeffries and Zach Randolph.

He wants to use Jeffries to make a deal with the Golden State Warriors, break it up into parts, and exchange Azubuike, Anthony Morrow and cash.

And trading Zach Randolph to Phoenix can get D'Antoni's favorite general, and he is also the leader of the new generation at the power forward position. And most importantly... Stoudemire's contract will expire in the summer of 2010, which will undoubtedly give the Knicks more operational flexibility.

For James Dolan, the bigger plan now is still 2010.

However, Doug didn't want to change the structure of the existing team too much in his heart. The team managed to gather morale and combat effectiveness. In the NBA, there is a very classic saying called: Never break up your winning team. Even if it costs more money.

For Doug, he never thought of giving up a season's results to do a structural overthrow and rebuild, because he couldn't tolerate those guys who made sarcastic remarks to take advantage of the situation to ride on the head of the Knicks. He will still sweep the Eastern Conference next season and completely capture Those haters, break their mouths!
