Chapter 286 Discussion on Transaction Feasibility

Transaction + outbreak.

Two very gimmicky things put together.

After Jordan retired for the second time, the attention of the NBA is falling at a speed visible to the naked eye, surpassed by other leagues in the same period.

But at this moment, such a thing popped up and attracted a lot of attention.

It is also an increase in the attention of the entire NBA.

Warriors fans were delighted when interviewed.

"That's right, Qin Fei is the excellent player we want to see. He is already an All-Star player in the league. He even won the championship last season. His strength is among the top players in the league."

"I think Qin Fei's scoring ability is completely underestimated. In the Sonics, there are too many players who can score. Qin Fei's main energy is actually on defense, but it is different in the Warriors. He can have a lot of opportunities to attack independently, and his scoring will usher in a period of continuous growth."

"His scoring methods are very comprehensive, and he is also relatively determined on the court. When it is time to make a shot, he is not soft at all. There are very few situations where he has no touch. The defensive player must concentrate. If he is not paying attention, he may get a relatively high score."

Of course, some people think that the Timberwolves' perimeter defense is relatively weak.

But no matter how the outside world pays attention to and evaluates these two things, Qin Fei conquered the players in the team through this game and various unsolvable offenses. He won a high evaluation in the hearts of everyone and officially confirmed the Warriors.

Review the eve of the transaction.

This was originally a team without a leader, but now, at least it has a backbone.

On this point, Carlesimo has no opinion at all.

He likes obedient players, and Qin Fei gave him enough face on the occasion, and also played according to Carlesimo's requirements tactically, but sometimes, when he scored many high-efficiency scores, the players on the field would unconsciously pass the ball to him and let him finish.

So one person emphasized that it is meaningless to shoot. At present, no one in the Warriors is fighting for the ball with Qin Fei.

Carlesimo also acquiesced in Qin Fei's performance, although this is not a good signal for his coach's authority.

After the game, Carlesimo called the players for a meeting.

One is to analyze the problems that occurred in some games, and the other is to encourage the players to play well, and many of the tactical coordination he wants have been implemented, so make persistent efforts.

The Warriors took a break that night and flew directly to Milwaukee the next day.

The schedule when Qin Fei joined the team happened to be the stage of the Warriors' away trip.

After playing back-to-back away games against the Bucks, he will also play back-to-back against the Pacers and Cavaliers, and then return to the Bay Area to play at home. Qin Fei's first game at the Warriors' home court is already March 3th.

It is reported that the ticket sales on this day have risen by a large amount in an instant. The addition of such an all-star is a very positive stimulus for the Bay Area ball market.

The next morning, the Warriors flew to Milwaukee.

The distance between the two cities is not too far, about 500 kilometers.

At this point, the general manager of the Warriors Rowell has returned to Oakland.

At the beginning, the Warriors were in San Francisco, but attendance and team revenue were low, so the team left the port city of San Francisco and came to Oakland.

The distance between San Francisco and Oakland is very close, and the Bay Bridge connects the two cities for integrated development.

As soon as Rowell arrived at the office, he summoned his think tank team and came to the office for a meeting.

At this moment, Qin Fei came to the Warriors to go berserk in the first game, and the news of scoring 39 points spread throughout the Warriors. Owner Chris Cohan, a shrewd businessman, immediately sent a message to Rowell, meaning that Rowell had made a good deal, and the team needed such a first-class star to promote business activities.

To put it bluntly, it is selling tickets. In this league, fans still watch star games in the final analysis. Only stars can sell tickets, otherwise the team will lose money.

If he loses money, he will definitely not take over. He bought the team for investment, not for playing life.

The staff in suits and leather shoes came to the conference room and saw the general manager frowning, sitting on a chair without saying a word, thinking that something big was about to happen, and none of them dared to speak.

"One more week to the trade deadline."

"This year, we have made a very good deal. Qin Fei scored 39 points yesterday, proving that he is one of the best perimeter stars in the league."

"But we still can't relax, work still has to go on."

Rowell silently covered the paper, and then emphasized the purpose of this meeting: "Guys, I have a list of players in my hand. You analyze and analyze these players. Is it possible that one or two of them will be traded by us."

Are you going to trade again?

The members of the think tank looked at each other in blank dismay. The general manager really changed his normal routine and kept moving.

"Which players are they?"

Someone on the side immediately asked.

Rowell said the list of players directly: "Jermaine O'Neal, Steve Nash, Ben Wallace."

Among the three, Nash has the better reputation and has heard of them. The two players, Jermaine O'Neal and Ben Wallace, are a little impressed, but not particularly deep.

Coincidentally, these three players are all members of the Class of 96.

They looked at each other in blank dismay, and then one by one began to check the information, and decided to start analysis one by one.

"Jermaine O'Neal can be traded. This player who entered the league in high school is 21 years old this year, two months younger than Qin Fei. He is currently serving as a backup center for the Portland Trail Blazers. Last season, he averaged 4.5 points, 3.4 rebounds and 1 block per game. He has a good ability to protect the frame."

"It's not easy to trade. Although his statistics are average, I have talked with the Blazers before. They still have some confidence and expectations for this O'Neal in the team, because the team's starting center Sabonis is actually relatively old. A seven-foot young man is really very precious."

Everyone was discussing, and then the topic shifted to Steve Nash.

"It's too difficult, it's impossible to trade."

Everyone gave a unanimous opinion. The Mavericks are now in the honeymoon period, considering Steve Nash, who has just been traded, as a treasure. They think that the combination of Nash + Finley + the German big man should have very strong offensive firepower, and they are extremely obsessed with this experiment.

Think about their general manager and head coach Nelson Sr.

We haven't sorted out our previous conflicts yet, so we're going to be slapped in the face if we just ask for a deal like this.

So when everyone said this, Rowell also felt that it was inappropriate. He was the first to cross out Steve Nash's name and no longer considered it.

Ben Wallace is an obscure player, and some people haven't even heard of it.

Rowell is a little dissatisfied, this is an obvious dereliction of duty!

"Ben Wallace, 25 years old, official height 6 feet 9 inches (2 meters 06), weight 240 pounds (108 kg), center position on the court, league draft record holder for bench press on the side (202 kg)"

Such a high bench press data?

The people who received the information were shocked, but soon learned that apart from his physical fitness, other aspects of this player can be described as terrible, and he has no experience in college league competitions, so he was finally defeated.

He is too short to play as a center, and his skills as a striker are not good, but he is already 22 years old when he talks about his potential. This is the embarrassment of this player when he was drafted.

With so many 2-footers in the league, 06 meters is really short. What's more, this statistic is reported by myself, so maybe it's a little watery

But after all, the strength data is too outstanding, and the physical fitness is mouth-watering, so some people still invited him with the attitude of giving it a try.

Later, Ben Wallace, who was not selected in the draft, represented the Celtics in the summer league and was even planning to play in Italy.Eventually he found a suitable position with the Washington Wizards to guard the water cooler.

He played a total of 34 games in his rookie season, almost all of which were in garbage time.

At the beginning of last season, he slowly entered the rotation in the Wizards. When Juwan Howard and Chris Webber were injured, he also played as a starter. In 16.8 minutes of playing time per game this season, he contributed 3.1 points, 4.8 rebounds and 1.1 blocks.

This season, the Wizards sent Chris Webber to the Kings, and Ben Wallace's playing time has further increased, but he is still only a substitute for the team, with an average of 5+6 per game, and there is no special difference.

Such a player is neither in the future plan nor a potential stock that the team expects. As long as enough bargaining chips are given and work hard, the transaction should be completely feasible.

Therefore, the staff ranked according to the difficulty of the transaction. After calculation, Nash should be the most difficult, followed by Jermaine O'Neal, and Ben Wallace is the easiest.

"But we already have an outstanding young center like Eric Dampier. He is seven feet long, has an amazing wingspan, and is extremely intimidating at the basket. Why do we have to find another center with no offensive ability? This is completely inconsistent with the tactical thinking of our team coach!"

In the think tank on the side, some people immediately expressed their doubts.

After hearing this, Rowell frowned slightly.

Seems to make sense
