The Strongest Bishop in the NBA

"Beep beep..."

The management of the Nuggets listened to the busy tone of the hung up phone in a daze, and couldn't help cursing after a while.

"Damn, are you crazy? This Chinese guy."

How could Anthony Billups' chip be rejected so simply? And he even uttered wild words, telling himself to get out of here, as if this was such an unreasonable transaction!

A top star in the league is actually not as good as a second-year rookie sitting on the bench?

However, in reality it really doesn't compare.

Now 28 years old, Anthony's peak period is only three or four years, and his peak scoring average in the following years is only 28.7 points.

What about James Harden?

Since 2015, Harden's scoring average has never been lower than 29 points. Even in the 18-19 season, he scored a super data of 36.1 points and 7.5 assists per game.

Can Anthony beat it?

Of course, Wang Xiao also knew that other than him, the time traveler, no one else knew about this kind of thing.

In the same way, he also knew that the Nuggets didn't want to send Anthony away, but Anthony insisted on leaving, and in the end it was almost impossible to go to the Knicks.

So even if he does trade for Anthony, it is estimated that the guy will be eager to go to the Big Apple after his contract expires in the offseason.

This is another reason why Wang Xiao told the other party to leave quickly.

However, the matter of the Nuggets also reminded Wang Xiao that this year's trading market seems to be quite lively.

Not only did Anthony switch to the Knicks, but another player also changed clubs.

Deron Williams.

As a point guard at the same time as Paul, Deron, who is used to eating, sleeping and playing Paul, has performed very well in the past few seasons. This season, he can get an average of 20+10 data per game, which is definitely the top ball control in the league. One of the defenders.

And this season, Deron will also break up with his mentor Jerry Sloan, trying to drive Sloan away, but was decisively traded by the team.

The reason why Wang Xiao is interested in Delong is not because he wants to get Delong.

Compared with Curry's potential as a point guard, even in his peak period, Deron is still slightly less interesting.

He was interested because Deron was traded to the New Jersey Nets in another time and space.

However, because of the appearance of Wang Xiao, the wings of the butterfly continued to incite. The Wizards, who had the bottom record last season and were lucky enough to draw the No. 1 pick, became the second in the East, and the Nets became the No. 1 pick instead.

And also because of Wang Xiao's collateral effect, Jeremy Lin, who was not selected in the draft at all, became a favorite for the No. 1 pick, and was successfully won by the Nets with the No. 1 pick.

Now the Nets, with Jeremy Lin on the point guard, will naturally not be interested in Deron. In this case, which team Deron will be traded to, Wang Xiao is very curious.

...

Wang Xiao's curiosity didn't last long, because this day came soon.

Before the All-Star Weekend, the Wizards had 6 games against the Magic, Eagles, Bucks, Spurs, Cavaliers and Mavericks. In these 6 games, the team scored 5 wins and 1 loss. To the Spurs.

After the 6 games, the All-Star Weekend followed.

As expected, Curry still ranked second in the last two rounds of voting, and finally successfully defeated the two popular guards Rose and Wade, and was selected as the All-Star starter together with Jeremy Lin, who ranked first.

The starting five All-Stars in the East are Jeremy Lin, Curry, James, Myer and Howard.

The five starters in the West are Paul, Kobe, Durant, Anthony and Duncan.

In addition to Curry, Harden was also selected for the All-Star Game, but as a substitute.

At the same time, Curry and Harden will also participate in the Rookie Challenge as second-year rookies against George's first-year rookies.

Wang Xiao did not go to Los Angeles to participate in the All-Star, but took a good rest at home for a few days.

The work of the head coach is not at all easier than that of the players, and the pressure is not the slightest bit greater.

After finally having a not-so-long vacation, he naturally wants to relax and rest for a few days, and after the All-Star Weekend, it will be the most brutal time for the playoffs, except for the teams at the bottom of the league In addition, all the teams will work hard to qualify for the playoffs, and the game will be much more difficult. He must be fully prepared.

At the same time, he also began to draw up a contract extension.

When the All-Star Weekend ended and Kobe Bryant scored 37 points and 14 rebounds at home to win his fourth All-Star MVP trophy, Wang Xiao also called Butler to his office.

"Coach, did you call me?"

Butler knocked on the door and came in with a little apprehension on his face, but also a hint of expectation.

Wang Xiao rarely asks players to talk to the office alone, especially a veteran like Butler.

Now that he is suddenly called before the trade deadline, what else can he talk about besides news of contract renewal or being traded?

Butler has been with the Wizards for six years. For this team, this city has a certain affection, especially now that the team's record is booming, and it even has a chance to hit the championship. All made him very satisfied.

He wouldn't want to leave the team if he could.

But as a veteran over 30 years old, Butler also knows very well that the NBA is actually a business field, and there is no loyalty here. Any veteran who has played for the team for more than ten years may be dismissed without hesitation. He is no exception.

Nowadays, rookie player George's performance is getting better and better, and it seems that Butler's role is getting smaller and smaller.

Under such circumstances, being traded was a normal thing, and he would not resent anyone because of it, but in his heart, he still had some expectations, maybe Wang Xiao would like to keep him?

Butler was lucky, he guessed right, Wang Xiao called him, and he was the one who negotiated contract extension with him.

In Wang Xiao's office, "Caron, your contract is about to expire at the end of this season." Wang Xiao looked at Butler, "I have already talked to the general manager, I hope you can renew your contract with the team, we need you."

As soon as Wang Xiao said this, Butler's heart immediately settled down.

really! It's a contract renewal, not a deal!

Butler is really scared, afraid that the team will trade him away to another team that he doesn't know anything about.

It was difficult for him to accept that cold business-like situation.

"Coach, I would love to stay with the team and continue to play for this team."

Butler said a little excitedly.

Looking at Butler, Wang Xiao laughed.

"That's really great. You can inform your agent to discuss the contract renewal directly with the general manager."
