Chapter 846 Completing LeVille's Sign First and Trade Later
Chapter 846 Completing LeVille's Sign First and Trade Later
In the NBA, many teams have preferences for player types, just like today's Clippers, who are crazily stacking forwards, while the Kings are crazily stacking guards.
The Nets didn't deliberately pile up the strikers, but the Beast did it on purpose.There are enough defenders in the team, but the more insiders, the better.With everyone playing more small-ball lineups, strikers with strong swing ability and the ability to defend multiple positions are obviously the future trend of the league.
But the strikers can't just pile up blindly. Some strikers have three nos (no defense, no 3 points and no brains). This kind of striker is not as good as a tough guard.
It's just that a good striker is really too expensive, because everyone knows that 3D players are easy to use, so the price naturally goes up.
In terms of the salary space of the Nets, it is impossible for them to get a good 3D striker. It is already considered good to be able to trade to get a good rotation striker.
Concubine Han has been discharged from the hospital and is confinement at home, and the beast has been at home from time to time recently.He has not neglected training, he has been training from time to time to maintain his condition and prepare for the new season.
The general manager of the Nets is updating the Beast on the latest transaction progress.The number of teams interested in LeVert has become less after selection. Many teams just want to prostitute for nothing and plan to clear their garbage contracts. Of course, the beast can’t do such a thankless thing, and the general manager decisively rejected it. .
The Cavaliers are the most sincere among the many teams interested in LeVille.They are willing to trade with the Nets. By signing first and then trading, they are willing to send Exum and McGee.
Exum has a very high starting point. He was once the No. 2014 pick in the first round of the 5 draft.
他是在2019年12月24日被交易到骑士的,在骑士打了24场比赛,他在场均16.7分钟的上场时间里,能够得到5.6分2.3个篮板1.4次助攻0.5个抢断0.3个盖帽,3分球命中率为35.1%。
From personal status to statistics, his efficiency is not bad, and he must be enough to play as a substitute.But the problem is that his salary next season exceeds 1000 million, but his performance and current ability do not meet this contract.
The good thing is that his contract is in the last year. With an expiring contract, there is no need to worry about long-term salary pressure. This is a positive side for the Nets.
As for McGee, he was traded to the Cavaliers by the Lakers. He can be regarded as an insider who eats cakes. His defense is actually the same, and he is not very good. His role is more reflected in the protection of the frame. where to go.
The Beast is not interested in this so-called defensive inside line with little shooting ability. Allen itself is a very good defensive inside line, plus him, Vanderbilt and Jeff Green, the rotation is enough.There are many times when the game enters a critical moment, even Allen has no chance to play, let alone McGee.
Therefore, a center like McGee is reserved more for strategic needs.But the Nets themselves have the league's No. [-] center beast, and this need is not deep.
But if it's Exum and McGee, Beast feels that unless the Cavaliers add draft picks, he doesn't want it.These two are tasteless and can't help the team much. It is difficult to enter the rotation. When the game is closed, these two are basically unlikely to enter the rotation.
The Beast looked at the Cavaliers' lineup to see if there were any players he wanted. After looking around, he saw a person——Cedi Osman, a Macedonian, 203cm tall, was the 2015st overall pick in the second round of 31 rookie.
The Beast has never been on the same team as Osman. Although Osman was selected in 2015, when he logged into the NBA, it was the 2017-18 season. In that season, the Beast was already in the Nets.
2017年7月19日,骑士队和切迪·奥斯曼正式签约,合同为期3年价值830万美元。
2019年10月25日,克利夫兰骑士队和切迪·奥斯曼达成了一份4年3100万美元的续约合同。
Osman's contract has only been fulfilled for one year, and he has three years left on his contract, with an average salary of less than 3 million.
上赛季奥斯曼出战了65场,场均可以贡献11分3.6个篮板2.4次助攻0.8个抢断0.2个盖帽,3分球命中率为38.3%。
Although Osman is a white striker, his physical fitness is still very good, and he is full of energy on the field and young. Such a contract with such data is not bad.
Compared with guards, the Nets need strikers more. Of course, Osman is not an extremely high-quality 3D, but he is definitely a qualified 3D.
You can't ask for too much, you want the horse to run and not feed the horse, the young 1000D players with less than 3 million people play with aura, which is very good.
The Beast asked the general manager of the Nets to talk to the Cavaliers. The Nets didn't want Exum, but Osman.
The general manager of the Nets did it immediately, but the reply was that the Cavaliers were unwilling.
The beast knew this result a long time ago, how could the knight easily defeat Osman!That's why we're talking about it!
The Beast asked the general manager of the Nets to talk again. They only want Osman, and everyone else is free.It doesn't matter whether the head is Exum or McGee. Anyway, these two are on expiring contracts, even if they are under luxury tax pressure, their contracts will expire next summer.
The Nets have fallen into a long negotiation stage, and LeVille, one of the core of the transaction, is also a little anxious. He also wants to go to the Cavaliers, because if he goes to the Cavaliers, he has the hope of starting and getting a big contract. The possession of the ball awaits him.
The Cavaliers can't sign LeVille naked, and they can only choose to sign first and then trade with the Nets, because they don't have enough space and need to trade.
And he is unwilling to sign LeVille naked, he can only sign for 4 years, and he hopes to sign a 5-year contract.
The beast made the general manager of the Nets release smoke bombs, and other teams are also talking to them about LeVille's signing first and then changing, putting some pressure on the Cavaliers.
In the end, the Cavaliers compromised. They really wanted to get LeVille, and finally agreed to give up Osman.
On December 12, the Nets and Cavaliers reached a sign-and-trade deal for LeVille.
The details of the transaction are as follows: the Nets signed a 5-year contract with LeVille, traded him to the Cavaliers, and got Cedi Osman and McGee from the Cavaliers.
After getting Osman and McGee, the Nets' lineup has reached 14 people, with 1 spot left.
The Nets' current roster looks like this:
Centers: Jarrett Allen, McGee
Power Forward: Beast, Jeff Green, Vanderbilt,
Small Forwards: Andrew Wiggins, PJ Washington, Cedi Osman, Korver
Shooting guards: Rodrigo Beaubois, Diallo, Kevin Porter Jr.
Point guard: Jrue Holiday, Jeremy Lin
Beast does not plan to use the last spot for the time being, because he feels that the team lineup is very neat now, and the last spot is waiting to be missed in the mid-term.
