After arriving in Philadelphia, some Eagles players began to feel uneasy.

Liu Mang, Rahim, and Ratliff have nothing to worry about. One of them is the core, and the other is the team's biggest sacrifice. They are the key to the team's steady development. They are also an example of the word "sacrifice" for the team.

The core of interior defense.

Stockton isn't worried either. No one dares to trade him, otherwise he won't be able to have such an experienced leader lead young people in the future. The Eagles are also pointing him at cultivating a substitute for Liu Mang who is familiar with his playing style.

As the number one defensive player on the perimeter, Prince is not worried about being traded.

Rasheed Wallace and Kwame Brown are scarce centers in the league, so they are not afraid either.

Others say not necessarily. As for Kevin Willis, who has been wearing a suit for a long time... First of all, the Eagles are now focusing on building a team culture and want to retain Liu Mang for a long time. Liu Mang can match the American impression.

The Chinese are very different. The Eagles management knows that this guy can't be coaxed with words. He must be allowed to see the benefits of the team, such as taking care of the team's veterans at the end of their careers... Moreover, Kevin Willie

The Si Na contract cannot be traded at all...

The Hawks have always been short of big centers. Although they have Ratliff and Kwame Brown, and Rasheed Wallace can also play center, they still lack a real third center. This pair wants to defeat the Western Conference and score.

It is very important for the Eagles, the finals team.

There is only one day left this year where you can still trade!

The morning after the Hawks played the Kings, the Hawks took a five-hour charter flight to Philadelphia and still had to worry about being traded.

The trade deadline every year is a day that scares a large number of players in the league.

Generally speaking, people who worry fall into two categories.

One is that the core of a weak team may want to overthrow the team and start over due to poor long-term record.

In this situation, if the core is sent to a strong team at a cheap price, and the strong team happens to be short of players at the same position, it would be the best.

But in most cases, the core of a weak team does a good job, and even the core of a weak team in a big city works well and leads a comfortable life, and then is sent to a bad team that is in dire straits and is not reused, like Bran

De has a good fortune. He was sent to Los Angeles from the Bulls. Although it is still a bad team, it is still a big city. Although he is suppressed by the Lakers and no one knows that he is a Los Angeles player, he is still living in Los Angeles.

If the Warriors are sent to the Bulls, who are always at the bottom, and are still failing now, then they are very unlucky, and may have to start a wandering career.

Another situation that is likely to be traded is that role players and marginal players from strong teams may be traded because the team has better options in weak teams.

On the contrary, the fringe players of the weak teams and the high-quality role players of the weak teams are not worried at all. The role players of the fringe teams are originally mixed. After finishing this contract, it is still a problem to find the next job. If they are moved,

Did you come back to life?

There is no need to worry about high-quality role players from weak teams. They are eager to go to strong teams, and it is impossible for weak teams to trade them to strengthen them. They are all waiting for Okafor.

This year's trade deadline can be said to be a turbulent one. Many teams started to take action in the early morning. The reason is-the NBA's 30th team will join the Southeast Division next season!

After the new team joins, other teams in the league can only retain eight players, and other players may be selected by the new team. Therefore, the twenty-nine teams in the league only have two trading periods to make decisions. One is trading.

Before the deadline, one is before the draft. After the draft, trade negotiations will be frozen. Until the start of the free market, these few days are the time for the new team to select players.

Therefore, it is possible that some key players from strong teams may be traded.

From the middle of the season, when those newly signed players could be traded, many teams began to have the idea of ​​​​trading, but they kept delaying it. By the trade deadline, the league's trading market was suddenly detonated!

…

The Hawks are naturally also the focus of the trade market. The Hawks who may eventually be traded are Boozer, Korver, Barnes, Muhammad and others. They may all become the targets of the trade. They have

Too many people are greedy, and Boozer is not easy to trade. The pick-and-roll between him and Stockton is an important part of the Hawks' bench.

Therefore, many teams quoted three people: Barnes, Muhammad, and Korver, mainly Korver and Muhammad. Muhammad’s leadership ability and his character that is not greedy for data, even if

He has no complaints about becoming the third forward and instead does his best to help new teammates integrate into the team. This has made many championship teams or teams that develop young cores, such as the Cavaliers, very eager to get him.

Korver became famous during the All-Star Weekend, showing his talent as an advantage shooter. Although it may take several years to develop, it is not a big deal to support a player with top three-point talent with a basic salary of hundreds of thousands of dollars.

It's much more reliable than signing pitchers with big contracts.

The tough guy Barnes, who originally attracted much attention from other teams, has offended almost all the main strikers of other teams in the league, but not so many teams have made offers.

The Hawks did not practice today. Firstly, they are playing consecutive away games to give the players more rest. Secondly, the opponent is the 76ers, third from the bottom in the Eastern Conference. Only the Magic and Bulls have a worse record than them. The Clippers have a worse record of only 17 wins and 40 losses.

, even if Iverson performs amazingly in his comeback, the Eagles are not worried.

The most important thing, and what worries some Eagles players, is that owner Price and many scouts followed the team to Philadelphia, rented a conference room in the hotel, and are having a meeting. It is almost certain that there will be a transaction today.

!

…

…

Watching Willie Green holding the ticket Chip Englander handed him in surprise, Liu Mang felt a little sentimental. Although he didn't have deep feelings for Willie Green as a teammate, he was also a teammate of the team, so he was still a little sentimental.

Sentimental.

But I'm just a little sentimental. It's very different from the reluctance I felt when Newbell, Dean Grove and others left the team.

Moreover, Liu Mang learned a little bit about the inside story through Schwartz. Willie Green was sent away. Stockton did not choose to coach Willie Green, mainly because Calderon was a player in his company...

After making the deal, the Hawks gave Willie Green a ticket to return to Atlanta. Since the other team was not in a hurry for a physical examination, the Hawks also specially helped Willie Green contact the other team so that he could wait for him to pack his things before reporting.

The work done can be said to be very humane, and it can also be said to be excellent!

It seems to be a very humane approach, but more importantly, I don't want this transaction to affect the team's current mood. Willy Green's standard African-American character makes him and Jason Terry,

The relationship between Barnes and others is still good.

Willie Green was stunned with his ticket. He didn't expect that he would be traded!

In his opinion, he is the strongest contender to succeed Stockton and become Liu Mang's first substitute in the future. He has played 39 times this season, averaging 7 points per game. Although most of this average is obtained in garbage time,

Generally speaking, the data of players who have not played many games can not be added up with the real main players' scoring, that is, they have a small impact on the team's overall scoring average, but they can average 7 points per game as the third point guard or third shooting guard.

, no matter how you look at it

As a local NBA player in the United States, I know the difference between playing for the Lakers, Rockets, and Hawks. The Lakers are in Los Angeles and there is never a lack of attention, even for a role player. The Hawks and Rockets are now more

It's amazing. A fringe player has a higher exposure rate than the core members of many teams. Even Calderon and Korver, who rarely have a chance to play, are always surrounded by a bunch of reporters.

Of course, the news about Willie Green is basically all kinds of nightclub scandals. Coupled with the talent he has shown, he has indeed become the most newsy and the most concerned among the Hawks role players. Even Boozer

, Kwame Brown and others don’t have as much news as him.

Willie Green enjoyed the feeling of being noticed very much. Unexpectedly, there was no news at all. Those who he thought "should" be traded were not traded, but he was traded!

…

Shortly after Willie Green got his ticket and left the hotel, ESPN exposed the contents of the Eagles' trade.

Hawks and Jazz make deal!

The Jazz used Greg Ostertag, who was about to retire, to reach a deal with the Hawks to acquire Willie Green. They tried to help the Great White Bear, who was not far from retiring, gain a chance to win the championship.

Their second-round pick in 2005 was sent to the Hawks and they acquired Hawks rookie Willie Green.

Many teams these days still have a strong sense of humanity, especially a team like the Jazz that is still in the first year of the post-Double Disaster era. Let Ostertag pursue a championship while he still has some fighting power.

The Jazz are willing to do this kind of adult beauty thing.

Moreover, getting Willie Green is definitely a sure profit for the Jazz!

People feel that the Hawks are not getting ripped off in this transaction because of the obvious loss. The Hawks brought in Ostertag in order to strengthen the center position and deal with O'Neal. Basically, there are no centers in the league that can hold up O'Neal.

No, Ostertag is considered one of the best players. He is always a bit old. As a role player, he has declined quite seriously at the age of 31. His strategic significance is greater than his actual role. For the Eagles, this is more important than just a role player.

There are so many edge point guards who can play in garbage time.

Although it is amazing that a low pick in the second round can perform like this, and there is nothing wrong with being a high-quality role player after being developed, but the Hawks need Ostertag even more now.

Then Popovich jumped out and cursed again... He didn't know how many times he had talked to the Jazz in order to deal with O'Neal, but the Jazz just ignored him and now they actually gave it to the Hawks! This makes this year still

Popovich, who aims to win the championship, once again caught the team that traded with the Hawks and blasted...

…

…

"Willy is very talented. Now our team can't give him room to grow. The Jazz is rebuilding. This may be his opportunity. I wish him a bright future..." Regarding his teammates being traded, Liu Mang had a rare moment.

During the interview, I said some official words.

"Willie will always be my brother. He will definitely have more playing opportunities with the Jazz, which is a good thing for him." Jason Terry has been a player for four or five years, and this is true.

Very much agree.

Just like Jason Terry's career goal is to play for 20 years and earn $100 million to retire, he also hopes that Willie Green, with whom he has a good relationship, will develop better.

"..."

"..."

All the Eagles players who came to Philadelphia with the team sent their blessings to Willie Green when they came to the Wachovia Center for pregame interviews the day after the trade deadline to prepare for the game against the 76ers.

The current team atmosphere of the Hawks cannot be better. Even if Willie Green often makes negative news, it is not the kind that affects the team, but is a personal issue.

But... blessings are blessings, and I am a little reluctant to leave my teammates, but many people in the Hawks breathed a sigh of relief after learning the news that Willie Green was traded.

Liu Mang is actually not that interested in this matter anymore. Otherwise, after getting Ostertag, who would care about Willy Green! He will definitely choose to "attack" those two people again.

The three teams that are most likely to become opponents in the finals are causing trouble and riding on the popularity of Popovich's swearing in the headlines.
To be continued...
