Nba: This Superstar Is Too Stable

The Knicks didn't play in the larger Las Vegas Summer League.

One is that the journey is too long and costs too much.

The other is the previous Orlando Summer League, and the team's purpose has been achieved.

Furthermore, the scouting team still has a lot of work to do.

The signings have been in full swing over the summer, and although the Knicks haven't had much success other than bringing D'Antoni's old partner Amare Stoudemire from the Suns, that doesn't mean scouts. The team is not working hard enough.

In fact, their tasks throughout the offseason are very heavy.

But the NBA offseason seeking to trade this kind of thing, not your market is big, willing to spend money, you will be able to trade for star players.

A trade is a trade, and it’s about a favor. If there is no team willing to trade, or if the star players feel that playing in New York is too stressful, the Knicks lineup is too bad, and it is not conducive to the championship... It will be difficult to facilitate a transaction.

The transaction of the rest of the role players is a small game.

Even if the Knicks trade them today, maybe they'll be traded out tomorrow.

The NBA is a business, and players are commodities.

In economically developed New York, this situation is even more cruel.

...

Soon, the new season is coming, and the Knicks have to determine the starting lineup for the new season when the signings are not smooth.

Amare Stoudemire will be the Knicks' only All-Star this season, so obviously, the entire team will revolve around him in the new season.

Daroney Gallinari, Wilson Chandler, Ronny Turiaf and other role players acquired in various small trades will complement Stoudemire.

In the starting point guard position, whether to use Raymond Felton or rookie Bai Feng has once again become the focus of the team's debate.

The coaching staff headed by D'Antoni initially felt that Raymond Felton should be used as a starting point guard. After all, Felton was already a qualified point guard with an average of 12+6 per game last season with the Bobcats.

The management headed by general manager Steve Mills is still optimistic about Bai Feng, and the reason they give is very simple: "Amare Stoudemire and Bai Feng are the only two on the team's training list this season. Players, the rest of the players could be traded at any time, and we should focus our energy on the right places."

In a word, D'Antoni compromised.

Felton is indeed more mature, but in the final analysis, he is not the ideal point guard type of the German coach.

A point guard who may be traded away at any time, of course, there is no need to invest too much time in him.

Although the offseason is over, the Knicks' entire team's goals are quite clear. Before the trade deadline, they will still try to seek to continue to introduce star players.

It's not his ideal point guard anyway, so it's normal for D'Antoni to sell face to general manager Steve Mills at this time.

After all, a team, management and coaching staff can live in harmony, is also a very important point.

But Steve Mills, the general manager, had a whim at this time, and he laughed: "Why don't we do this, there are many people who are full of doubts about the player Bai Feng, then we will let Bai Feng and Raymond Felton Compete for the job, just in time, the preseason is about to start."

...

Actually Bai Feng didn't know he was in competition.

And when the team assembled for training in the new season, he didn't feel any emotional fluctuations when he was going to play with star players like Stoudemire.

Normally, a rookie player who has just entered the league, when he really competes with NBA stars, will either be excited, nervous, or more or less, and there will be greater emotional fluctuations.

But Bai Feng didn't, because he knew very well that no matter who he was with, playing in the most reasonable way on the court would be his only choice.

...

But Raymond Felton learned from some gossip that he was in a whirlpool.

As a local player who has played in the NBA for several years, Felton naturally has some friends in the Knicks. He has a good relationship with Stoudemire, Wilson Chandler and others. In addition, in the management Inside, there are his friends.

The news is of course to be well-informed.

After learning that he was going to compete for the starting point guard with a rookie from Longguo who averaged 10+4 per game in college, Felton was shocked at first!

On the training ground, he was staring badly at Bai Feng who was practicing seriously, and said to his teammates: "You say, what kind of relationship does that kid from Long Country have with the general manager? Why is the general manager so optimistic about him? ."

"Who knows, Raymond, I don't think the relationship is not important. What matters is the performance on the court. As long as you compare him, we will support you."

"Yeah, the best way is to wait until the training is over, find a reason to fight him one-on-one, and let everyone see the gap between you, so that things will become much easier."

...

Felton smiled at the suggestion of his teammates, he nodded and said, "What a great idea, brothers, just do it!"
