Chapter 281 Discussion

Generally, the transaction will be communicated with the players in advance, and the worst is to communicate with the agent first.

Such a pre-match trade is somewhat "disrespectful" to people, so Qin Fei's anger is completely understandable, and the outside world who sees this paragraph will also regard him as the "victim" party.

Wang Zhizhi had stayed in the player tunnel long enough, so he hurried to the field.

At this point, both the Spurs and the Supersonics players had gotten the news.

The Supersonic players were stunned.

Rumors are still rumors until they become reality, and when reality emerges, people still cannot understand the management's thinking.

This was last season's main contender for the championship, is it lost if you say you lose?

The Supersonic players who were still doing warm-up training all looked at the player tunnel, thinking that this must be a bad joke. Maybe in the next second, Qin Fei would still walk out of the player tunnel with his arms raised high.

"why?"

What is puzzling is Kemp. Kemp really likes this little guy. He is smart and good at being a man.

Peyton could understand instead. After the initial shock, he had recovered his composure.

After the new labor agreement came out, the Supersonics had no way to give the third player an All-Star salary, so it was inevitable for Qin Fei to leave as a new All-Star.

If you stay in Qin Fei, of course there will be risks, because Qin Fei's current transaction value is very high.

In fact, after the playoffs, or after winning the championship, Qin Fei's trading value reached its peak. After a lockout period, after the first few games of the season, Qin Fei's trading value has shown a downward trend. Wally Walker's trading of Qin Fei is actually based on an accurate judgment of market fluctuations.

It can be said to be a magical operation of "cash out at the highest point".

Assistant coach Bob Withey came out of the player tunnel and came to the side of head coach George Karl.

The two looked at each other helplessly.

At this time, the audience felt very strange, why didn't their favorite Qin Fei appear on the field?Is Qin Fei injured?

Since I came to Seattle in 96, I have lived and played here for almost two and a half years.

Qin Fei likes the rhythm and style of life in Seattle very much, as well as the environment here, and has gradually adapted and integrated into it.

But it is a pity that the NBA is a business field, and players are goods. Some players may change their lives in three different cities a season. Like him, he has lived in Seattle for two and a half years, which is already a long time.

Manager Tellem's reaction was slow enough this time. After Qin Fei returned to the locker room to get the phone and sat quietly for a while, he called.

"It was quite sudden. They just joined the ranks of trade negotiations yesterday. They didn't expect to reach an agreement with the Supersonics today. I haven't had time to report to you yet!"

The manager admitted that he was negligent, but Qin Fei didn't say much. This kind of thing can be big or small. He just wants to know who joined the battle.

"It's the Golden State Warriors."

Tellem burst out their names, a team that suddenly joined and suddenly impressed Wally Walker.

This is really a new thing, the Warriors have never had contact with Qin Fei before.

Anyway, what this team does is always so unexpected, and the team's general manager, Robert Rowell, finally took the initiative to call Qin Fei after the deal was reached.

In the words, he expressed his welcome to Qin Fei.

"You are the player we need. We will build a brand new team with you as the core. Please join us, hold the banner together, and forge ahead!"

Rowell, the general manager, was actually not long after he took office. He and team owner Chris Cohan later called them the "Golden State Twins", which is of course not commendable.

The "brilliant achievements" achieved by these two partners, as well as the dark moments that lasted for more than ten years, are simply too numerous for Warriors fans to write. It was not until the boss and general manager changed that they climbed up from the pit again.

Of course, the previous life belongs to the previous life. Since the general manager called at the first time, Qin Fei of course gave full approval and immediately expressed his loyalty to the new team.

"Mr. General Manager, don't worry, I will definitely do my best and show my talent to fans and friends in the Bay Area."

Rowell mainly appeased and welcomed Qin Fei, and at the same time said some transfer matters.

"Of course, you have an excellent agent like Arne. These are trivial matters. I look forward to meeting you in Oakland."

After bidding farewell to General Manager Lowell, Qin Fei immediately went to search for some things about the Warriors.

In recent years, the Warriors have been relatively turbulent, dating back to 94 at the earliest.

In 1994, Chris Cohan entered the Warriors and became the new owner of the Warriors.

One of the characteristics of this boss is that he likes outsiders to manage insiders. For example, after becoming the boss, in order to show his presence, he intervened in the conflict between head coach Don Nelson and the team's future star Chris Webber, and chose the former to send Webber away.

After trading core players, the Warriors did not rely on new bargaining chips to make a comeback. Instead, they fell into a more and more sluggish situation. Later, Don Nelson also resigned. In the past two years, the record has not been as good as the previous year.

Last season, the conflict between the head coach PJ-Carlesimo and the "madman" Sprewell was still full of troubles, so halfway through the season, the team still chose to send the players away, and Sprewell went to the Knicks.

The only thing the team can play is gone, and the team's talent is seriously lacking. After the last season, it has a record of 19 wins and 63 losses, which is very bad.

The smoky Warriors have not made any good progress this season. They had a previous record of 4 wins and 8 losses, ranking second to last in the Western Conference, slightly better than the Los Angeles Clippers.

Qin Feiyue felt even more chilled when he saw it. Wally Walker was like a dog, and he was really ruthless in attacking him. He was directly sent to a rebuilding team.

Perhaps only such a deal can maximize the benefits of the Sonics.

But for Qin Fei, it was really bad.

That night, the Sonics lost to the Spurs 88 to 108 at home. The 20-point difference was also the largest difference between the two teams in recent years. It was a fiasco.

However, the limelight of the outcome of the game was completely attracted by a new transaction message.

NBA official message:

The Seattle SuperSonics and the Golden State Warriors have reached a deal.

The Golden State Warriors sent the team's shooting guard Chris Mills, the No. [-] pick Antawn Jamison just selected in the draft, point guard Tony Delk, a first-round pick for next year; Qin Fei from the Seattle SuperSonics and some transaction exceptions.

The transaction exception can be regarded as a credit point. If the two teams have not exceeded the salary cap after the transaction, then the difference between the salaries of the two parties in the transaction can be regarded as a transaction exception. When the team makes the next transaction, it can be used with other teams.

As soon as the news of the trade appeared, it immediately occupied the headlines, suppressing the news of Marbury's trade to the Nets not long ago.

Marbury and Qin Fei are similar in terms of statistics, but Qin Fei has more personal honors than Marbury. Especially last season, Qin Fei also won the championship with the Supersonics, which is even more interesting. In the ranking of new superstars, Qin Fei is far above Marbury.

Everyone started talking about the deal for the defending champions.

Experts said that this was a "wise" choice. In the summer, Qin Fei's transaction value will decline, and it is impossible to complete the one-for-four operation.

Some people also began to analyze this group of transactions, the Warriors limit four for one, is it a loss or a gain?

Some people feel that they have lost, while others feel that they have gained.

It's hard to find a scorer who averages 20 points per game these days. If you want to say a loss, it's the first-round pick, because even if Qin Fei came to the Warriors, with his own strength, the Warriors would never have a good record. This next year's first-round pick is very precious.

Some people think that the Supersonics are too crazy. The value of Qin Fei is not equivalent to these players. Even Mills seems to be able to score more than ten points in a game. Tony Delk and Antawn Jamison seem to be very good players, but no one can hit a deadly three-pointer under the defense of the Jazz, and no one can go head-to-head with Jordan on the stage of the finals.

Well, Jordan has retired

Well, this may also be one of the reasons that prompted the Sonics to make this trade decision, because the Sonics selected Qin Fei in the first place to release Payton's defensive pressure against Jordan in the finals.

Some people feel that the Warriors have lost blood.

Not to mention the draft pick, but Jamison was just selected as the No. [-] pick in this year's draft. He is a man of the university and a super rookie with unlimited potential.In case Qin Fei becomes weaker in the future, or gets injured altogether, will the warrior still be able to hang around?

This stud is really incomprehensible. You can wait until the offseason to chase Qin Fei. At that time, you won't have to pay such a big price, and you might be able to keep Jamison and the pick.

It's somewhat absurd, combined with the Warriors' operations in the past two years, I can't help but secretly lament that the "golden partners" of the Warriors are too deceitful.

This night, countless people lost sleep because of Qin Fei's transaction dynamics.

Qin Fei's phone calls never stopped in the first half of the night. From the Sonics teammates, to the coaches, to the young brothers such as Kobe and Tracy McGrady who cared about in the league, he didn't know what he was talking about in the end. Anyway, the most repeated sentence was "I'm fine, face it calmly."

The next morning, the Sonics held a press conference.

As the general manager of the team, Wally Walker was interviewed by reporters. In fact, this link was unnecessary.

Of course, the reporters asked Wally Walker about his thoughts, such as the motivation or purpose of the transaction. However, Wally Walker did not intend to do so.

"We are very grateful for Qin Fei's contribution in Seattle in the past two years. He is a very good player and he is perfectly integrated with the Supersonic system. Losing such a player is a loss for the Supersonics. However, due to the consideration of the team's operation and development, we still made a decision to trade. Here, we would like to thank Qin Fei again for his contribution. He is an important member of the team to win the championship. I hope he can have better development in the new journey."

Unable to get news points under the words of the general manager, the reporters turned the interviewees to the team's players or coaches.

However, the latter two had issued a "seal" order in advance, and they had no other opinions except to bless Qin Fei.

So the uncrowned kings turned their interview target to the fans in Seattle.

This time it was like a blast, everyone was chattering, and there were countless things they wanted to say.

"To be honest, I don't understand this deal at all. I always thought that Qin Fei was the future of the Supersonics, but we ruined our future with our own hands. God, he is only 21 years old, and he is already an All-Star player. The sky is his limit, but we don't want this sky."

"I think it's okay. Under the high-pressure line of the luxury tax, the team has no salary space to sign Qin Fei. Qin Fei will leave sooner or later. Why don't we take advantage of the high transaction value to exchange for some better bargaining chips. Now we have got three very good players and a precious first-round pick. We have earned it."

"The boss is still picky, there is no winning team that doesn't spend money, spend a little, it doesn't cost much"

The camera turned around and came to a small fan with moist eyes. The small fan looked very frustrated. He was still wearing the No. 18 Sonics jersey and stood outside the Key Arena, holding a sign with the words "We want Qin Fei, Wally Walker dismissed get out of class" to express protest.

The reporter stepped forward to interview: "Hi, what's your name?"

"Hello, I'm Brandon Roy."

"Okay, so, what's your take on this trade for the team?"

"Qin Fei is my idol, and I am very disappointed with the team's decision."

During the interview, the little fan said that he shook his head and almost cried: "Qin Fei is a real fighter. Without Qin Fei, the team cannot go further in the playoffs."

A small fan actually uttered such professional words, which surprised the reporter.

Moreover, the scene of this interview is also very newsy. He had an idea and simply broadcast this scene as an important scene of the interview.

The Sonics left Seattle the next day for an away game.

So no one said goodbye to Qin Fei face to face. Tellem rushed to Seattle and bought a plane ticket for Qin Fei to Minnesota. Of course, this can be reimbursed.

The Warriors are currently in an away game, and the next stop is tomorrow, and they will fight in Minnesota.

If there is time for the physical examination, then Qin Fei should just be able to catch up with this game.

Because it is a mid-season transaction, it will appear particularly rushed.

If it is the offseason, there may be some welcome ceremony or something.

But even with such haste, some media outlets in the Bay Area reported the deal extensively, focusing on the Warriors' welcome gesture-the Warriors urgently produced billboards outside the arena.

According to the official announcement of the Warriors, Qin Fei's jersey number for the Warriors is No. 8.

The number 8 is temporarily unused by the Warriors, and no one has this retired number.

Qin Fei originally wanted to choose No. 1, which means "start from scratch", but the number 1 has already been used by the Warriors.

Although the user's reputation is old, he is also well-known, named Tiny Boggs, nicknamed Xiao Chong.

An NBA player with a height of only 1 meters, with a much shorter figure than ordinary people, proved the theory of "height is not absolute" in the NBA.

For such a player, Qin Fei is always full of respect, and of course he will not do things that are difficult for others.

So after deciding to take apart No. 18, I chose No. 8 jersey.

Knowing that Qin Fei also chose the No. 8 jersey, Kobe yelled and called.

"Someone imitated my shooting, someone imitated my speech, why do you imitate my jersey number?"

Qin Fei was overjoyed.

"What kind of imitation is number 8, and number 23 is imitation."

Of course, Kobe was just joking. Qin Fei chose the No. 8 jersey, and he felt very happy. The two now have the same number.

But after he carefully comprehended Qin Fei's words, he became a little unhappy.

"Hey, what do you mean, who do you look down on?"

"No, there's nothing wrong with my words."

In the end, Kobe had nothing to do with Qin Fei: "Be a little more creative next time, don't keep imitating me."

"Look at what you said, do you think I'm not creative? I wanted to choose No. 24, but you know, the Warriors' No. 24 is Rick Barry's jersey number. I can't help it?"

Kobe:
