Chapter 724 Changes in the Team

USA, Miami.

Meng Yun came to the United States with Zhao Hao, and Meng Yun didn't plan to go back to the beach villa, he was really not used to living there alone, so he decided to live with Zhao Hao in the old apartment.

Throwing things into the room, Meng Yun said to Zhao Hao and set off for the American Airlines arena. When he got close to the American Airlines arena, he heard shouts and the sound of the basketball colliding with the floor, which was very cordial .

Walking into the arena, there are many people training inside. It is now September 9th, and the preseason is approaching. The team's players have basically returned to the team. If Meng Yun hadn't settled in the training base for half a month, he would have After spending time with my family, I should have returned to the team long ago.

Of course, Meng Yun is privileged as the core player of the team, and it's okay to be late.

"Boss."

Joseph Young exclaimed in surprise, and rushed towards Meng Yun, ready to give Meng Yun a warm hug. When Meng Yun grabbed him with one hand, his expression changed. He felt as if he was being held by pliers, and secretly clicked his tongue. Hello, boss. With great strength, I couldn't beat him before, but now I may not be able to beat him with one hand.

Alas, there is no hope of turning over.

Leaving Joseph Young aside, Meng Yun greeted Wade and hugged Wade, then Whiteside, Taylor Johnson, Gerald Green, etc.
After a hasty glance, Meng Yun couldn't help but sigh in his heart, Dragic was gone, as had Haslem, Josh McRoberts, and Beno Udrih.

Bosh still hasn't come back, it's impossible for him to come back.

In June of this year, the doctor gave a final diagnosis, announcing that Bosh had ended his NBA career, and then the Heat announced that Bosh would be waived and that he would retire his No. 1 jersey.

There are fewer people, and there are more people.

A tall and strong young man walked towards Meng Yun, hugged Meng Yun, and introduced himself: "Hi Meng Yun, I'm Greg Monroe, and I'm very happy to be your teammate."

"Me too." Meng Yun smiled.

Greg Monroe, 211cm tall, serves as a center. He was selected by the Pistons with the 26th overall pick in the first round in 2010 on 7 months of this year. Later, he was traded from the Pistons to the Bucks. The Heat sent him more than two months ago. Goran Dragic, Greg Monroe was traded from the Bucks, and Monroe came to the Heat.

Seeing Monroe, Meng Yun couldn't help but think of Dragic. In fact, he and Dragic have no grievances, but the positions of the two overlap. If Dragic stays in the Heat, he can only act as a substitute. He is not willing to play as a substitute, so after the end of last season, it was like the team submitted a trade application, hoping to be traded out.

Originally, the Heat were struggling with Dragic's problem. Now Meng Yun is the absolute core. In the future, the team will be built around Meng Yun. If Dragic is willing to play as a substitute, it's okay. If he doesn't want to now, then trade All right.

Dragic's ability is very strong, and he is also a good bargaining chip in his prime.

After communicating with other teams, the Heat finally sent Dragic to the Bucks. The Bucks have a guard, Michael Carter-Williams, who was traded by the Bucks from the 76ers. They had high hopes for him. However, affected by injuries, the Bucks are not very reassuring about him, and Monroe's situation is similar to him. Both of them performed well, but they are both troubled by injuries. It is hard to say what the future will be like. Let the Bucks worry a little.

So when the Heat threw out news that they wanted to trade Dragic, the Bucks became interested.

Monroe's contract is not small, more than 1000 million a year, so the Bucks are not at ease, sending him away in exchange for Dragic, the Bucks think it is still a good deal.

Moreover, Dragic is a point guard and can just replace Michael Carter-Williams. If Michael Carter-Williams is seriously injured, it will not do much harm to the team.

As for the Heat, sending Dragic away in exchange for Monroe is also a good deal. Bosh retired, and there was a gap at the 4th position that needed someone to fill it. Monroe is good.

"With the arrival of Monroe, the No. 4 position has also been strengthened." Meng Yun thought, looking past Monroe and looking at another person—Louis Williams.

"Meng Yun." Louis Williams hugged Meng Yun with open arms.

No one can ignore Meng Yun's status in the Heat now. He is the absolute core, the cornerstone of the team, and his importance has even surpassed that of Wade.

Therefore, as a Heat player, it is necessary to maintain a good relationship with Meng Yun.

"Welcome, Lu Wei." Meng Yun smiled.

"Thank you," Louis Williams said.

This summer, the Heat didn't just send Dragic away in exchange for Monroe.They also sent away Josh McRoberts, Haslem, Benno Udry, and traded with the Lakers for Lou Williams.

In fact, the change of Dragic for Monroe is after, and the deal with the Lakers is still before, because Dragic's strength is considered top-notch in the NBA, and it is not so easy to trade. Even if the Bucks are interested, it is really Trading is also a very complicated process, and the duration is not short.

On the contrary, on the Lakers side, because Kobe retired and the Lakers completely entered the rebuilding stage, the transaction was simpler. The Heat sent Josh McRoberts, Haslem, Benno Udry, and a second-round pick in the future. Right, get Lou Williams from the Lakers.

After Dragic left, the strength of the Heat's bench lineup dropped dramatically, and the depth of the bench was not enough. Taylor Johnson, Joseph Young, and Ennis alone could not support them.

And Lu Wei, the best sixth man in the 14-15 season, is just what the Heat need. His scoring ability is very strong, but his shortcomings are also obvious. It's not that the shortcomings are obvious, and the age is too old, and the three of Josh McRoberts alone can't get it.

Of course, Lu Wei alone is not enough. In order to further strengthen the bench lineup, the Heat then signed veteran Nene Hilario for a year of 280 million U.S. dollars, and Jared Salinger for a year of 510 million U.S. dollars. .

In this way, the Heat's lineup for the new season has become Meng Yun, Wade, Whiteside, Luol Deng, Gerald Green, Greg Monroe, Lu Wei, Joseph Young, Taylor - Johnson, James Ennis, Chris Anderson, Jared Sullinger, Nene Hilario, a total of 13 people.

Meng Yun also hugged Nene and Salinger one by one, as a way of accepting them. From now on, everyone will be brothers of the same team and eat together in the same pot.

Coach Spoelstra was away. Assistant coaches Dan Craig and Juwan Howard were in charge of guiding and supervising the players' training. Seeing Meng Yun returning home, Dan Craig was very happy and chatted with Meng Yun for a while .

While chatting with Craig, Meng Yun couldn't help thinking, "This is our lineup for the new season. What will the new season be like?"
