Chapter 452 Leonard traded to the Raptors and DeRozan swap clubs
According to a report by NBA name Woj, the Spurs and Raptors have reached a deal in principle, Leonard and DeRozan swap clubs!

Then Woj updated the transaction details, the specific transactions are as follows:
The Spurs sent Leonard and Danny Green from the Raptors to get DeRozan, Poeltl and a 2019-1 protected first-round pick in 20!
According to Woj reports, the two core players DeRozan and Leonard have been notified by their respective teams.

由于四头肌伤势，莱昂纳德上赛季只出战了9场比赛，场均23.3分钟得到16.2分4.7篮板2.3助攻；德罗赞上赛季出战81场比赛，场均33.7分钟可以贡献23.0分4.0篮板5.2助攻1.09抢断。

Since neither player has trade veto rights, there is no obstacle to the deal.

It's a pity for DeRozan that he is only one year away from getting the trade veto.DeRozan renewed a five-year $2016 million contract with the Raptors in 5. At that time, he had already played in the league for 1.38 seasons, and the labor agreement stipulated that he must play in the league for at least 7 seasons and be a team player. Players who have played for the team for at least 8 seasons can get the trade veto right.

Spurs fans: So happy!Leonard wants to go to Los Angeles, I have sent him to the farthest place from Los Angeles!
DeRozan: Finally, the 8-year resistance against Zhan is over...You tm...

Join if others can't beat it, and chase after you if DeRozan can't beat it!

Huang Ama woke up: what?I am dead? ? ? ?

Kawaii: Actually, I want to go!
DeRozan: Actually, I want to stay!
Huang Ama: I am the emperor, and the place where there are dragons is the place where I can stay!
Spurs: Well, I will send you to the Raptors...

Welcome Leonard to Toronto, 3500 miles next door to Los Angeles…

Whoa, the Raptors finally got their LeBron finisher!
Raptors fans: I’ve already pictured the Raptors team’s rhetoric when trying to get Kawhi: “Look Kawhi we know you want to go to LA, but Toronto is still a lot like LA in some ways, First of all, we can also do movies here, and the film industry has grown a lot! We have a great film festival every year! Second, our traffic is worse than Los Angeles! Finally, Toronto is next to the lake, which is next to Los Angeles There is no difference in the Pacific Ocean! In the end, LeBron James also likes it very much!"

Raptors General Manager Ujiri: Fire the best coach, sell the leading star, catch up with a potential rookie, I am me, different fireworks!

DeRozan: Who said I was afraid of James, where would James go?

It is very likely that what the Raptors really want is Huang Ama!This icy touch must match the cold winter in the upper north...

Leonard's teammates are doing Leonard's way!In response to this transaction, silence.

Why does everyone say Xiaoka is slow?He is very decisive!There is only one decision, and that is not to renew the contract with the Spurs.Under this premise, Kaka's next home is not up to him. The Spurs demanded a lot and set up smoke bombs everywhere. They just wanted to maximize their profits.From the current point of view, the Spurs have been operating, and Kaka basically said nothing.

The Spurs are a stop loss, and the Raptors are a gamble.

The Raptors were swept this year, which has proved that the garbage brothers' ability to lead the team in the playoffs is not good, especially DeRozan, who was even abandoned in the playoffs.Therefore, since Casey was fired, he probably wanted to overthrow and rebuild. Now there is a chance to send DeRozan away, why not take a gamble? !With Leonard coming, even if he can't keep it next year, the worst thing is to rebuild. You know, DeRozan will have the right to veto trades in another year, which is even more terrible for the Raptors!
The most beautiful thing about the Raptors is that, whether Leonard is willing to pay for the team or not, sending DeRozan itself is a move that is beneficial to the healthy development of the team.The Raptors have been squeezed by the existing core salary space, and it will be a matter of time before the Celtics and 76ers surpass them. If Leonard leaves, the Raptors can rebuild by getting rid of the salary space vacated by DeRozan (Lai The contracts of Leonard and Green will expire), and DeRozan has also proved unable to lead the team further in the playoffs.Leonard is a player who can go head-to-head with James, and Green has a wealth of experience in major competitions. If both choose to leave, Toronto can start rebuilding without the drag of a maximum salary contract.There are certainly risks associated with this trade, but that's what you need to take to get a player of Leonard's caliber.

For the Spurs, this deal is worth discussing.

The first is DeRozan. DeRozan is indeed very strong in the regular season, but in the playoffs, when the focus is more targeted, DeRozan's weakness is very obvious.

三分球是德罗赞最大的短板：2017-18赛季场均出手3.6次三分球，命中率为31.0%——他的三分球从上赛季开始已经取得了进步，常规赛出手287次三分球命中89记，已超过此前两年的总和。

In today's era when centers have to come out to shoot three-pointers, it is difficult for a guard like DeRozan to adapt.

What's more, DeRozan is 29 years old, and all kinds of skills have been finalized. It is difficult to make a big improvement, and the potential is basically gone.

除此之外，马刺还从猛龙得到了2016年9号秀雅各布-珀尔特尔，他在上赛季成为凯西“死亡五替”中的稳定五号位：82场全勤，场均18.6分钟贡献6.9分4.8篮板1.2盖帽，罚球命中率为59.4%。

Poeltl has a height of 2 meters and a weight of 13 kg. He is good at rebounding and blocking shots. He has an average shooting distance of 104 feet per game, no three-point range, and a 2.4% shooting rate at the basket. Taking out the mid-range shot, the shooting efficiency is as high as 73.4%-he has the physical talent that can be molded by the Spurs and the basketball IQ of European players.

Poeltl is a traditional center with no shooting range. His advantages are fast movement, good blocking, strong finishing ability at the basket, and tough play. He is a good seed.

As for the first-round pick obtained from the Raptors, because it is protected from 1-20 places, it is of little significance.

The Spurs' current lineup is very embarrassing, not up or down.

With Leonard gone, the team is old and young, and it is basically impossible to compete for the championship. Even if DeRozan comes, in the wolf-like West, he wants to reach the Western Conference Finals It is estimated that it is an impossible task.

Either exchange for equivalent stars, or exchange for a few more first-round picks, no matter which one is possible.

However, the Spurs chose a compromise option.

Of course, it may be that no team has given a better bargaining chip.

After all, Leonard has made it clear that he wants to go to Los Angeles.

In this case, the trade to Leonard is likely to be just a one-year right to use him.

In general, the return of the Spurs' deal is limited, not as much as the Raptors.

The price of the failure of the Raptors gamble is to send the Spurs all-star guard + potential rookie + future draft picks for nothing. It looks terrible, but Ujiri has his own calculation: any star who gives up two seasons will become a major stain on his career , It's tantamount to self-destructing the future; if Leonard works hard, the Raptors have a chance to compete for the Eastern Conference championship, and Ujiri's personal resume can also be recorded beautifully; DeRozan's contract is at least until the summer of 2020. If Leonard and Danny Green leave, next summer will free up 3133 million salary space for the Raptors-the Raptors aim to change and rebuild, after all, DeRozan suffered Troubled by depression, Lowry is also 32 years old.

……

Half an hour before the news of the transaction was sent out, DeRozan posted several updates on the INS snapshot!
"They say one thing and do another, you can't trust them. There's no loyalty in this game (the game of basketball), you get nothing, and you're sold out fast."

"You'll see soon enough."

"Do not disturb," DeRozan wrote.

Back then DeRozan rejected the Lakers for the Raptors and cut his salary to renew his contract, but now the Raptors...

DeRozan was the one who was hurt the most by this deal.

For Leonard, although going to the Raptors is not as good as going to Los Angeles, it basically achieved part of his goal-leaving the Spurs.

As for the Raptors and Spurs, each takes what they need, and they are both acceptable choices.

Only DeRozan has the biggest loss.

……

According to NBA reporter Chris Haynes:League sources revealed that Leonard has no interest in playing in the Raptors.

According to US media bleacher reporter Ric Bucher, on the first weekend of the Las Vegas Summer League, he asked a rival team executive about Leonard's whereabouts and whether he would stay in Toronto. renewal).

"No chance," the executive said. "He was there (in Toronto) for the All-Star Game (in 2016), and he never left his room. He hated the cold."

Spurs: Not interested?Okay, that's it, send it to the Raptors!

The Spurs are also very ruthless!Kawaii, you are so hypocritical that you don’t want to go to Los Angeles, I will send you directly to Canada!When we are in love, we respect each other as guests!I'll give you a top salary and beg you to stay!Since you can't keep it, don't be uncomfortable!

A year later, Kaka and DeRozan reunited in the Lakers...

……

Later, Warshen also reported that sources revealed that the Raptors had met with DeRozan during the Summer League, and in that meeting they told DeRozan that they would not trade him.

For the Raptors' rebellious behavior, the Clippers guard Lu Wei, who was a teammate with DeRozan, couldn't stand it. He commented on Twitter: "No they can't treat my brother like this (snake) .”

Lu Wei was also asked by fans about his views on this matter. He replied: "I was injured brother, I was injured. My good brother gave his all for that city and that team. He Loyal to the land, yet stabbed in the back."

I really envy Durant and James, who can choose where to go!

After this, the people who used to be black old Zhan and Adu can stop in the future. When you have the power to control your own destiny, you should make good use of it and make the best choice for yourself. The two strongest in the alliance Individuals have anticipated this business alliance years in advance.

……

According to statistics, last season Aldridge and DeRozan averaged more mid-range shots per game than six teams in the league, and the Raptors are one of the six teams.

After getting DeRozan, the Spurs need Mr. Popo to arrange the offense well.

……

According to the "New York Post" reporter Marc Stein, he was told that the Raptors had discussed with the Timberwolves in the summer of 2017 about the exchange of DeRozan and Wiggins.

In a recent report, Raptors general manager Ujiri and other front office personnel have embraced the idea of ​​trading DeRozan.

上赛季常规赛，德罗赞场均得到23分4篮板5.2助攻1.1抢断，维金斯场均拿下17.7分4.4篮板2助攻1.1抢断。

Butler: Change me, change me, the West can't stay anymore!

Wiggins is of Canadian nationality. He played for the Raptors. Not counting the actual combat power support, the tickets alone can sell more. Of course, in terms of strength, Wiggins is a bit worse than DeRozan.

……

Meiji Michael Lee sorted out the famous operations of the Raptors management over the years. If you don’t know it, you will be shocked: When Tracy McGrady showed extraordinary qualities, the Raptors let him go to the Magic; When Vince Carter passed the 7-foot French center, the Raptors sent him to the Nets; when Bosh showed dominance inside, the Raptors sent him to Miami.

And today, DeRozan, who loves everything in Toronto, was sent to San Antonio by the dragon.

Spurs fans: Stop talking, give me face, Long Guan is my benefactor, whoever says that Long Guan is not, I will be the first to say no!

Raptors: Don't even think about it!
Carter went to his alma mater for the graduation ceremony on the first day of the tiebreaker in 01 and didn't prepare well for the game. As a result, he lost the game and had a long-standing grievance with the management. In the end, he couldn't send him away. Bosh left on his own as a free agent. McGrady, it seems that he can only show his talents in the Magic, because he is the core there, and he has enough shots. In the Raptors, McGrady and Carter overlapped. As for this time, it is understandable that DeRozan and Rodriguez Rui has proved countless times that they are regular season players, and they are trash brothers in the playoffs. The Raptors traded Leonard. No problem, as long as he is healthy, he is the absolute No.1 in offense and defense in the league, and he will not recover immediately. Level, that's better than letting DeRozan lead the team to score in the regular season!
……

The well-known labor agreement analyst Bobby Marks followed up and reported that because of the trade, the Spurs will compensate Leonard with a transaction deposit of US$310 million. This 310 million will be added to Leonard’s salary for next season, which will be paid by the Spurs. Included in the Raptors' salary cap.

The Raptors will also inherit the Bird clause for Leonard owned by the Spurs, but due to being traded, Leonard cannot sign a super-max salary. Next summer, the Raptors can provide him with a 5-year 1.896 million The maximum salary contract of US dollars, not the 2.21 million that the Spurs could provide before; if Leonard chooses to leave the Raptors next year, he can sign a 4-year 1.406 million contract with other teams at most.

In summary, this deal can cost Leonard about $8 million at most.

It has to be said that the relationship between Leonard and the Spurs has really broken down, otherwise, he should not have made trouble to the point where both sides are hurting.

……

2K officially announced today the Raptors star Leonard's ability value in 2K 19, and his ability value is 94.

The 2K official then posted a screenshot of DeRozan in the 2K19 game. From the screenshot, it can be seen that DeRozan is already wearing a Spurs jersey with an ability value of 89.

Again, if Leonard returns to his previous level, the Raptors' deal will definitely be worthwhile.

……

After DeRozan was traded, of the 2009 rookies in the 60 NBA Draft, only Stephen Curry remained unchanged, and the remaining 59 players had all been traded or withdrawn from the league.

The Warriors picked Curry with the 2009th pick in the 7 NBA Draft. This "Bay Area nail" has led the Warriors to three championships.

Not only did Curry not leave by himself, but he also took over his prospective brother-in-law to arrange work...

The Warriors' treatment of Curry is currently impeccable. 1. There is no trial training, so cut the beard directly. 2. The ankle was injured many times, and a 4-year 4400 million contract was offered. 3. Let Ellis go and strengthen Curry as the core. 4. Build a team around Curry, introduce head coach Kerr to build a team with Curry as the core and foundation. 5. When the contract expires, a 5-year long-term contract with a maximum salary can be signed immediately.If Curry retires with the Warriors, it would be a piece of perfect history.Hope we can all witness this beautiful moment.

……

In these 9 years of Raptors career, DeRozan left a string of excellent statistics:

Regular season:
Played 675 games and started 663 games. The total number of games played is the first in team history. A total of 22988 minutes have been played, and the total playing time is the first in team history;

In the Raptors career playoffs 21 wins and 30 losses, the winning percentage is 41.2%.

According to US media top.ball.coverage reports: When DeRozan renewed his contract with the Raptors in 2016, the total salary cut was about 1600 million US dollars.

在2016年德罗赞和猛龙续约时，他原本可以得到一份5年价值1.53亿美元的顶薪。但是他最终同猛龙签下了一份5年1.39亿美元的合同。

I really want to see the Raptors play against the Spurs next season, DeRozan singled out Lowry, Kawhi wanted to help defend, Lowry turned back: Get out! ! !My brother, I will defend! ! !

I hope the Raptors can retire DeRozan's jersey. Although he failed to win a championship for the Raptors, DeRozan's years with the Raptors have been the best basketball prosperity of the Raptors in these years.

Not every team has a long history like the Lakers and Knicks. The Raptors are a new team that only entered the league in 1995. Before the Lowry/DeRozan era, the Raptors played a total of 5 playoff games. And only once reached the semifinals of the playoffs, but Lowry and DeRozan led the team to 5 playoffs, 3 second rounds, an Eastern Conference finals and won the best 59 wins in team history.

Spurs fans: I hope Leonard will not retire his jersey in the Spurs, although he did help the Spurs win the championship and also won the Finals MVP in the Spurs, but the way he left the team is also watched by everyone, this guy Very stupid, only thinking about his own interests, sacrificing the interests of the Spurs in order to be able to go to the Lakers a year in advance.

……

Shortly after the news came out, the Spurs officially announced that the team had completed the deal with the Raptors: the Spurs sent Leonard and Danny Green, and got DeRozan, Poeltl and the 2019 1-20 picks from the Raptors Protected first-round pick.

Later, the Spurs officially posted pictures to thank Leonard and Danny Green: Thank you, Kawhi/Thank you, Danny!

At the same time, the Spurs also welcomed the two new players.

However, there are obvious differences in the thank you pictures made by the team. It can be seen that the font on Green’s picture is significantly larger than that on the small card, and Green’s thank you is located in the middle of the picture, while Xiaoka’s thank you is not directly below. conspicuous location.

The careful Bleacher Report discovered these details, and they posted these two pictures on the official Twitter, and joked with a thoughtful expression.

Could it be that the Raptors actually want Huang Ama, and Xiaoka is just adding to the head...

Green: My country...

Xiaoka: Wake up, brother, we are going abroad...

As for Xiaoka, in fact, everyone regarded him as a stone Buddha too much.Shi Buddha is the cornerstone of the Spurs, and Xiaoka is the cornerstone of the current few years. Xiaoka's indifference in favor must be set on Shifo's casual words and smiles. Although the two don't like to laugh, they are different in essence. Xiaoka is a player It is common people's favorite thing to make big money in big cities, unlike Shifo, who is undeniably low-key, even after retiring, but why do we fans have to impose Shifo's personality on Xiaoka? !As far as the matter is concerned, the Spurs, like the fans, regard him as the shadow of the stone Buddha, but he is him, and he is right, an ordinary person, a person whose interests are paramount.

For many Spurs fans, Spurs feelings are probably just a fairy tale.

Now, it's time to get out of the fairy tale world.

……

According to NBA reporter Zach Lowe, the league has distributed Leonard's trade memo to each team, and after checking the document, he found an interesting detail: the Spurs also gave the Raptors in the trade. Dragon $500 million in cash.

Raptors reporter Blake Murphy followed up and reported that the reason why the Spurs compensated the Raptors 500 million was because the Raptors were expected to pay a luxury tax of $740 million after the deal was concluded.

The Qing Dynasty gave it to you, and you still need 500W, is it shameful?

……

With Leonard's departure, plus the veteran Tony Parker who left the Spurs to join the Hornets, the Spurs lost two Finals MVPs this offseason.

According to statistics, the Spurs became the first team in history to lose two FMVPs at the same time during the offseason.

First of all, you have to have two FMVPs on your team!

Truth be told, if Leonard had been traded earlier, Parker probably wouldn't have had to go.

……

Nuggets new aid Isaiah Thomas updated Twitter about DeRozan's trade.

"Learn my lesson! Loyalty is just a word in this league, man," Thomas Jr. tweeted.

Wade was interviewed and talked about DeRozan who had just been traded.

Wade said: "DeRozan gave everything to Toronto. They asked DeRozan to do everything in a loyal position. That's why I hate loyalty and sports. These two words, they shouldn't be put together. , from a player's point of view, it's really fucking bad."

When the player was about to leave, the boss said: He betrayed us, he was not loyal.

When the team traded the players away, the owner said: No way, this is a business alliance...
