Chapter 990: Reality Is Often More Fantasy than Fiction!

"I thought I would go to the New York Knicks. Yes, Cleveland respected me very much. He gave me the final choice. I thought I had never thought about going to the Nets."

Early in the morning on December 27, 2009, O'Neal's interview was playing on TV.

"I told myself, Shaq, you are a great player, a player who has escaped from vulgar taste. What you pursue is no longer what ordinary people pursue. The team in this world that deserves to get you back has already There are not many left, and the New Jersey Nets are definitely not one of them. At the last moment, I was saying to myself and my Cavaliers teammates, guys, my next stop is definitely the New York Knicks. Until New Jersey gave their last offer, almost the first minute or even the first second after it appeared, I knew that the great Shaq would start his next legend and final curtain call in New Jersey. .”

"It was incredible. The leverage that Billie King gave me was incredible. He made me feel his strong confidence."

"Billy King believes that the Nets, currently ranked seventh in the Eastern Conference, will only do better than they are now. The Nets' first-round draft picks in 2011, 2013, and 2015 have no value to the Nets. His powerful Confidence rocked the world and so did I. I said my future depended on the next team respecting the Cleveland Cavaliers. Billy King exemplified his confidence and his respect for me and the Cavaliers. Knightly respect.”

"Whether you are scolding him or praising him, maybe you will not know whether this deal is a success or a failure five years from now, but now, Billy is the most ideal and courageous general manager in the NBA in my mind. I love him!"

Where is Ainima!

Isiah Thomas angrily turned off the TV and cursed in his mind.

He had always felt that he was the same person as Billie King.

He didn't know until this time competing for O'Neal's trade.

This guy is simply a madman, a madman who is either a genius or a fool!

Damn, although judging from the current performance of the Nets, the Nets' future draft picks do not have much value, but that is now, now is 2009, who until TM's 2011, 2013, and 2015 basketball teams What will the network look like?

Devin Harris, Bruce Lopez and O'Neal may have a good record in 2011, but what about 2013 and 2015?

Billie King doesn't really think that with O'Neal as the leader, the Nets will take off from now on, right?

Or did Billie King see something that the rest of the world didn't?

How can this be!

O'Neal, who has always wanted to give the Cavaliers a good bargaining chip, if he really believed that the Nets would be very good in the future, how could he refuse the 2011 first-round pick offered by the New York Knicks? Draft pick?

You know, every fool knows that his 2011 New York Knicks draft pick is definitely a lottery.

The value of one lottery pick compared to the value of three non-lottery picks,

Of course an early lottery pick is more valuable.

But O'Neal chose the Nets.

Why?

Obviously, O'Neal is now praising Lilijin for his courage and pursuit, but in his heart, this damn fat man is definitely calling this guy a fool!

O'Neal and the whole world have seen the value of the Nets' three draft picks. Only Billie King firmly believed that his team's draft picks were worthless, so when the New York Knicks offered one, the Nets offered three. indivual.

Damn it, this lunatic is either a fool or a genius!

If the Nets really rise in five years, these three first-round picks will indeed have little value, and Billy King is a genius.

If five years later, the Nets have been bad for five years because of this, and even continue to be bad for five years, and these three draft picks have brought three lottery picks to the Cavaliers, or even three No. 1 picks, then there is no need to put the former The Raptors' general manager is out to beat him to death. Billy King will definitely become the stupidest general manager and the stupidest guy in the history of the NBA!

There are many crazy people in this world, and he is also a somewhat crazy person, but there are really not that many people who are crazy enough to bet on whether they are geniuses or fools.

Many people say that the truth is in the hands of a few people, but the reality is that most of the time the truth is in the hands of the majority, and the eyes of the masses are sometimes brighter.

No one knows what truth and what kind of future Billi King's eyes saw.

Maybe the world in the eyes of geniuses or fools is really different from ordinary people.

But on this day, Billie King and Pat Riley were the stars of the world together.

Originally four wonderful Christmas wars had been fought, and the whole world should have been bragging about these four Christmas wars on this day.

But I really didn't expect that Billie King and Pat Riley would actually shock the whole world with their sexy skills.

Billy King's world-shaking tricks were considered extremely stupid, giving the impression that even a fool could be the general manager of the NBA.

But Pat Riley's tricks are different from Billy King's.

Pat Riley sent the Heat's All-Star players Ben Gordon, Varejao and Haslem, as well as the Cavaliers' 2013 first-round pick from the trade of O'Neal to the Cavaliers, and got Kyle from Boston. The special Garnett and Pierce.

The Cavaliers sent the team's All-Star player David Lee to get the potential center JaVale McGee from the Boston Celtics, as well as the Heat's former Cavaliers center Varejao and Heat center Haslem. One thing is that the Cavaliers took back the first-round pick from the Heat who didn't know what the future draft would be.

As for the Boston Celtics, they sent away Garnett, Pierce and McGee, and got All-Star Ben Gordon from the Heat and All-Star David Lee from the Cavaliers.

This deal is a very un-Pat Riley deal and actually looks like a win-win-win deal.

The Heat traded one All-Star for two.

The Celtics replaced two aging All-Stars with two All-Stars in their prime.

Even the Cleveland Cavaliers did not suffer a loss. Although they sent out All-Stars and did not get All-Stars, after acquiring Kevin Love from the Nets, David Lee was not a necessary player in the first place. With David Not only did Lee get McGee, a potential center who performed well last season, but he also received the 2013 first-round pick and Varejao that O'Neal gave away, and he also received interest from Haslem from the Heat. .

Even for the Cavaliers, getting so much is secondary. For the Cavaliers' front office, the greater significance of this deal is to disgust Pat Riley.

The Cavaliers originally traded Varejao and a 2013 first-round pick from the Heat for O'Neal.

O'Neal was now traded for the Nets' Kevin Love and three future Nets draft picks.

Now Kevin Love has replaced David Lee, who signed a free contract. With David Lee, he got back everything he had lost, and also received interest.

After the Cavaliers' operation, it can be said that Pat Riley sent them waves of warmth.

For guys like Pat Riley and Danny Ainge who can't stand to lose, this is almost worse than killing them.

Pat Riley clearly knew that the Cavaliers were retaliating against him for poaching James and deliberately humiliating him. He really didn't want to use the Cavaliers as an intermediary in his trade with the Celtics.

But there was no way, who made other teams unwilling to join in. At this time, only the Cavaliers, who had just robbed the Nets, stood up.

When the deal was completed with the Cavaliers, Pat Riley was as sick as if he had eaten a fly.

The general manager of the Cavaliers looked like he could speak.

So what was said?

"I don't want you to pity me. You don't owe me anything. I will never force you to do something you don't want to do. I have my own principles. I don't want you to step on me for the rest of my life. You think I am a beggar. I have been waiting for two years just for an opportunity. I want to fight for it, not to prove that I am great, but to tell you that I must get back what I lost!"

After taking back Varejao and the future draft pick from him, and taking away Heat captain Haslem, the proud expression on the face of the Cavaliers general manager simply made Pat Riley vomit blood.

The general manager of the Cavaliers looked at him with a look of pride and pride mixed with hatred.

Pat Riley is certain that if possible, these guys would probably want to get James back from him!

Although this is impossible.

As far as the commotion caused by James leaving the Cavaliers, it is impossible for him to return to the Cavaliers even if he goes to any team in the world.

But no matter what, Pat Riley could only endure the humiliation and retaliation from the Cavaliers management at this time.

After all, the anger of the Cavaliers management means nothing. Now the whole world is boasting about the greatness of the deal he led.

There is no way, although Garnett and Pierce are not young now.

Garnett is 33 years old and Pierce is 32 years old.

It's hard to say what the future holds for these two.

But these two are definitely All-Star players now!

It is now said that the Sonics may have ten players with All-Star quality.

But the strength of the All-Stars is not All-Stars after all.

The Miami Heat are different.

Even if the Miami Heat get rid of Chandler, the nominal All-Star, and Rasheed Wallace, the nominal All-Star, they still have Chris Bosh, James, Wade, Ray Allen, Pierce, and Garnett. Six true All-Stars with All-Star quality.

If we say that the previous Heat occupied the position of the most powerful team in NBA history, there may still be some controversy.

So now that the Heat have acquired Garnett and Pierce, even if they themselves say that they are not the strongest player in NBA history, I am afraid no one will agree.

"There is no doubt that we are now seeing the most evil team in NBA history. No matter in the past or in the future, it is impossible for any team to be more evil than this Heat!"

"I'm sure that a brave man of Michael's level would lose the courage to fight against this level of evil!"

Seeing this lineup, Pippen immediately cursed after being stunned for the first time.

I really have never seen such an evil team!

"The whole world should be glad that Yes is not a brave man like Michael who fights alone, otherwise the world would have come to an end at this moment!"

When this Heat team appeared, it really confused the whole world.

Even James himself feels that his team is cheating too much. You can imagine how incredible the Heat's current lineup is.

LeBron James, who was originally clamoring to leave, announced that he had reached a 1+1 pre-signed contract with the Heat directly after the deal was completed.

According to this contract extension, James will have the right to exit the contract in 2011.

Well, the happy James pushed his right to opt out of the contract from 2010 to 2011.

It has to be said that Pat Riley's sincerity and ability really satisfy him.

"If this kind of heat can't let me succeed on such an evil shortcut, then I will never think about shortcuts again in the future!"

James is very confident. This time, he really has no reason to fail again!

After the Heat's big deal was completed, the Heat seemed to have once again become the protagonist of the world.

As for Yees and the SuperSonics, Kobe and the Lakers, they are a bit fringe.

December 27, 2009, Staples Center, Los Angeles.

Kobe was quite resentful in front of Ye Si.

"Yes, now you young people, when you lose the game, what you think about is not practicing hard to regain your place, either thinking about joining a team or thinking about joining the opponent. Alas, the world is not ancient."

Durant was still very distressed to see his idol so resentful.

He knows who it is if he can't beat him, so he joins a team, but if he can't beat him, he wants to join the opponent. Who is he talking about?

Or James?

But hasn’t he joined the SuperSonics yet?

Are we really going to wait until James joins the SuperSonics before we condemn this kind of player who lowers the competition limit for NBA players?

The Lakers and SuperSonics are both teams that played Christmas games.

The game will be played immediately after the Christmas game, which is a test for any team.

What's more, the Lakers are still a relatively mature team, and the young SuperSonics have an advantage in this regard.

What's more, the Sonics are not just young.

Although many people have asked Ye Si whether the Sonics really have ten All-Stars now. Although Ye Si did not answer, he also knew that the SuperSonics did not have ten All-Stars yet, but the overall strength of the SuperSonics was indeed the strongest in the league.

Young, overall and strong, this kind of war of attrition is indeed invincible.

After a fierce battle with the Lakers, the Seattle SuperSonics defeated the Lakers 146-134 in an away game.

After defeating the Lakers on December 27, the Sonics returned home to defeat the Charlotte Hornets and Utah Jazz on December 28.

After defeating the Hornets and Jazz at home to complete the second 30-game winning streak in NBA history.

The Seattle SuperSonics embarked on the longest road trip to the Eastern Conference this season, and this journey was preceded by the most incredible winning streak in the NBA...
