Chapter 604 parties and trade deadlines
On February 10, 2 local time, at the Staples Center, they faced the Celtics.

Under the temptation of Li Tian's delicious food, the Lakers fought bravely and defeated the Celtics with difficulty.

In this game, Phil also made targeted changes, and did not let Sun Yue start. Against a player like Ray Allen, his ability is still far behind.

In the end, it was difficult to win the game with 87:95.

In this game, Li Tian only scored 28 points, 10 rebounds and 12 assists, and his consecutive 30+ triple-doubles ended. Fortunately, the triple-doubles did not end, and he continued to maintain the triple-double data.

Every time they played against the Green Army, it was full of gunpowder. The Green Army players were also scolded bloody in Los Angeles.

Rondo thought that without Kobe, the Lakers would become a weakling. What they didn't expect was that Li Tian alone could defeat the Celtics.

"Guys, drink as much as you want!" As the host of the party, he said the first sentence without too much verbosity, just to let everyone eat, drink and have fun, but they must not mess around. He doesn't want the newspaper to appear tomorrow Negative coverage.

Teammates, enjoy the delicious food mode.

Everyone, drinking to one's heart's content, of course the topic of conversation is always inseparable-beauties are always the topic of this group of energetic NBA players.

Combined with the entire Lakers team, there are only so many players who are married, so .
"Kobe, will our team be traded this season?" He has been busy with the All-Stars, and he has not paid attention to the team's trade situation. At this time, he does not want to participate in the trade of the Lakers management. Contain more of his energy.

"Trade, this season, the team is very stable, no trade is considered, the playoffs are coming soon, the trade will hurt the team too much."

Bryant shook his head, saying that the team will not trade now.

With Gasol, the three have been chatting about some things.

"Li, you really don't want to stay with the Lakers next season?" Gasol still broke the tranquility.

Gasol knew that he was really not suitable to be the leader of a team due to his ability. He hoped that he could stay with the Lakers with Li Tian and Kobe until the end of his career.

Of course, he also knows that with the salary level of the three, the Lakers can still afford it. If not, he doesn't mind a salary cut, which is not impossible.

"Paul, let's wait until the end of the season to discuss this matter. At present, what I am most concerned about is still being able to complete the great cause of the dynasty."

Regarding this topic, he is unwilling to talk more now, because now he can't tell them that I want to get more money, and the league will definitely prevent me from staying with the Lakers.

The future league will introduce new rules. He has this confidence in himself. After this season is over, the future league will definitely introduce new rules.

The chat on this topic ended without a problem.Kobe glanced at Li Tian, ​​and Li Tian also glanced at Kobe. They are the same person, and they know each other well.

"Lee, I understand you!" Kobe whispered after the party ended.

Looking at the backs of Kobe and Gasol leaving, they both understand each other.

After sending everyone away, he didn't think about this issue again, because he had prepared everything, and started to think about this issue during the offseason.

******
From the All-Star Game, a deal by the Mavericks opened the first deal of the trade deadline.

The Dallas Mavericks and the Washington Wizards finally reached an agreement that the two sides will carry out a trade involving seven players, the protagonists of which are Caron Butler and Josh Howard.The completion of this deal means that Mosaic, who wanted to make a big deal before that, had to change the transaction method, and "Mosaic's sweetheart" Butler completely missed Houston.

In the two-team trade, the Mavericks also got center Brandon Haywood and guard Deshaun Stevenson; they sent Drew Gooden, Quinton Rose, and James Singleton to the Wizards.Such a transaction has improved the Mavericks' frontcourt strength. For the Wizards entering the "post-Arenas era", their reconstruction has gained greater flexibility in salary space.

And two days later, the Los Angeles Clippers have reached an agreement with the Portland Trail Blazers, the Clippers will send Camby to Portland in exchange for Outlaw and Blake.

Kirby's age and ability cannot match his 965 million salary. Even if Griffin is reimbursed for the season, they hope to clear this contract.Similarly, for the Trail Blazers, although they have many talented players, they have been repeatedly hit by injuries since the start of this season. Players such as Oden and Puzzibila have been reimbursed for the season due to injuries. The reason for bringing in a big man before the trade deadline, and Camby is a very suitable candidate for them.

On the day when the Lakers faced the Celtics, the Cleveland Cavaliers, the Washington Wizards and the Los Angeles Clippers have reached an agreement on a three-way deal involving six players. Through this deal, the Cavaliers will get Antawn Jamison and guard Sebastian Bastian Telfair, Clippers to get Drew Gooden, Wizards to get Ilgauskas, Al Thornton, Brian Skinner and a future first-rounder for Cavaliers picks.He also said that the Clippers will buy out Gooden and he will become a free agent again.

"Lee, the Cavaliers seem to be getting stronger again." Kobe saw the deal.

The Cavaliers have always been the Lakers, one of the imaginary opponents in the finals. Because of the addition of O'Neal, the Cavaliers have an overwhelming advantage inside.Originally, the Cavaliers wanted to get Stoudemire and Jamison through a trade. Of course, the team hoped to get Stoudemire. Although the Cavaliers have been actively negotiating with the Suns, they still cannot get a definite answer from the other party. Therefore, the negotiations between the Cavaliers and the Suns were stranded, and finally set the target on Jamison and got him.

"So what, don't forget the Magic and the Celtics!"

To remind Kobe, the Cavaliers are strong, but the Eastern Conference teams are also stronger.

The most craziest deal is still the Knicks. Their purpose is very clear, that is, to have enough salary next season to attract some All-Star players.For example, Li Tian, ​​James, Wade and other All-Star players, any one of them can become the cornerstone of the team for the next ten years.

The Minnesota Timberwolves have reached a deal with the New York Knicks. The old forward Cardinal will live in the Big Apple City, and Milicic, the No. 03 pick in [-], will become a member of the Timberwolves.

The purpose of the Knicks making this deal is to reduce the salary pressure. Since there is a small difference in the salaries of the two players in the big deal, but it is within the allowable range of the league, this deal will reduce the total salary of the Knicks by about 150. million, because their salaries have already exceeded the luxury tax collection line, this big deal will save the Knicks a total of 300 million funds.

Subsequently, the Knicks and the Celtics confirmed a deal. The three-time slam dunk king Nate Robinson and Marcus Landry were sent to the Celtics, and the Knicks got Eddie House, Bill Walker and JR Giddens.

The Bobcats, Kings, Bucks and Digital People also made some small deals.

Among the few teams with the strength to compete for the championship, only the Cavaliers have made a big deal.

Just as the Big Three of the Lakers were discussing the league's deal, a deal that shocked the league happened quietly.

"My God, this deal is really done." Sun Yue exclaimed, breaking the atmosphere of the team's training.

"What deal?" Odom's goal is very clear, if he can shoot for 59 seconds, he will never shoot for 1 minute!

"The three teams, Mosaic, Kings and Knicks, officially announced a deal that shocked the league." Sun Yue explained.

Everyone gathered around and asked about the details of the transaction.

At the last moment of the trade deadline, the deal was officially concluded.

The specific situation of the transaction is: the Mosaic team sent McGrady, Landry and Dorsey, got Martin and Armstrong from the Kings and Jeffries and Jordan Hill of the Knicks, and got the Knicks' 2012 first-round pick The draft pick, and the 2011 first-round pick priority (that is, Mosaic can be exchanged when the Knicks' draft pick is ahead of Mosaic).

As originally expected, Mosaic sent McGrady away and ushered in another Martin who they believed had better scoring ability than McGrady.

The Kings sent Martin, Armstrong and Rodriguez for Landry and Dorsey of the Mosaics and Larry Hughes of the Knicks.

The Knicks sent Hughes, Hill and Jeffries and related draft picks, and got Tracy McGrady and King's Rodriguez.

This deal was reached, and the Knicks will once again free up huge salary space next season.McGrady's contract ends next season, so they can free up tens of millions of salary space.

"The Knicks are really crazy!" Gasol couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

Seeing the crazy trade of the Knicks, although it did not improve their strength, the huge salary space became even more terrifying.

After the Knicks complete all the transactions, the total salary of this season has reached more than 8500 million, which has far exceeded the luxury tax. Of course, the Knicks don't care about all this.

Next season, McGrady, Al Harrington, and Cuttino Mobley, the three players will end their contracts next season, and the Knicks will free up 4300 million in salary space.

Similarly, the other two high-paid players, Eddie Curry only has a one-year contract left, and David Lee, who has a contract of more than [-] million yuan, has become an All-Star substitute player, and it is very easy to send him away through a trade.

Brian Cardinal and Chris Duhon's contracts will also end next season, and they can save another 1200 million in salary.The rest of the remaining players are all basic-salary players who can be dealt with at any time. The Knicks are not short of money.

This is also why the later Knicks were able to sign Stoudemire with a high salary in 2010, and at the same time stud in the middle of the season, get Anthony through a trade to form a lineup of two giants.It's a pity that after the Knicks got the two, they suffered injuries one after another, and finally ended in failure.

Of course, their first goal during the offseason is James. If the team gets James, they are confident that they can complete the rebuilding work in an instant, and at the same time wield large sums of money to attract new players that James needs.

"It's too ruthless. The Knicks must have stirred up the situation during the offseason." Phil couldn't help sighing after seeing the deal.

Shaking his head, Phil no longer thinks about this issue, because all of this will have to wait until the offseason.
