Legend of Yi Emperor Rebirth - Chapter 695
Soon the specific details of the Lakers’ deal with the Suns for Steve Nash were also exposed.
The Lakers used 8.9 million trade exceptions, first-round picks in 2013 and 2015, and second-round picks in 2013 and 2014, plus some cash in exchange for two-time MVP point guard Steve Nash.
And Nash’s new contract is worth 27 million U.S. dollars for a period of three years.
Just talking about this deal, many fans will not have so many complaints and ridicule, because Steve Nash is not a loss for the Suns to trade these chips.
The Lakers didn’t make much of this deal!
Because of this, many Steve Nash fans approve of this deal.
Because they all hope that after eight seasons with the Suns, Nash can win a championship ring in the final stage of his career.
Nash and Kobe belong to the 96 golden generation. Nash was selected by the Suns with the 15th overall pick in the first round in 1996. He joined the Mavericks during the period and then returned to the Suns. In a 16-year career, Nash averaged 14.5 points, 3 rebounds and 8.6 assists per game.
Before joining the Lakers, Nash played for the Suns and created an era of his own. He won the regular season MVP consecutively in 2005 and 2006. Nash was selected to the All-Star team eight times in his career and the first team in the league three times. In the entire NBA history, Nash ranked second in free throw percentage and fifth in total assists in his career.
Last season, Nash played 31.6 minutes per game, contributed 12.5 points and 10.7 assists, hit 53.2%, and got 28 double-doubles with the most guards. Therefore, it can be said that Nash’s current state is still very good. He will join forces with Kobe next season and strive to get a championship ring at the end of his career, which can be regarded as fulfilling his wish.
In short, his choice to join the Lakers is what everyone wants to see.
Speaking of this deal, there are many twists and turns, because they have already signed Howard, so this has also led to the Lakers not having enough salary space to sign Nash, so they can only reach a deal with the Suns to sign first and then change, only this way Nash was able to get a three-year, $27 million new contract.
This deal has also been recognized by the Suns. Anyway, Steve Nash is definitely going to leave. It is better to use Steve Nash to earn something.
It is said that this transaction and Howard’s transaction were carried out almost at the same time, and neither side knew that the other side would come.
Until today’s trade protection period ends, the Lakers also officially announced the news.
This also makes the two transactions seem to be completed one after the other!
But it doesn’t really matter.
It just doesn’t matter whether it doesn’t matter, for Steve Nash, the current situation is the best situation for him.
The strength of the Lakers is so strong, if he can win the championship, for him, it is also a very happy thing!
At least in Steve Nash’s view this is the case.
…
After completing these two transactions, the Lakers management was also rated by many experts in advance as the most present management this summer. Many experts also believe that Kupchak will rely on this transaction to make another move. Won the best general manager award of the season.
No way, these two transactions are so beautiful. No matter how demanding experts are, they can’t have any bad opinions on these two transactions. In their opinion, Kupchak has shown his gamble to the fullest, and they have this Gambling can also be regarded as controlling the risk within a controllable range.
In recent years, the alliance’s transactions can only be compared with Pacleyley’s gathering of the Big Three in 2010.
“The Knicks’ biggest enemy appeared. Although it is a pity, for the Knicks as a whole, they must not be able to complete three consecutive championships. There is no way. The Lakers are really too strong after these two trades. In my opinion, this season is actually the Lakers season!”
“I don’t know how to say it, but if I can give Yi more challenges, I would still like to see such a situation. After all, judging from the situation of the Heat’s Big Three in the past two years, I want to challenge Yi even more. There must be a more luxurious lineup, like the current Lakers team!”
“The Lakers completed these two transactions very well, but they were completed too early. This gave Downey time. Although there is not much time left, no one knows what will happen next! To be sure, Downey will never let this summer end. Even if he agrees, Dolan will never agree. This is the closest the Knicks to a three-game winning streak. Even if they follow, they may not be absent. Opportunity, but Yi Jianlian next year will be the last year of his contract. At that time, for the Knicks, how to keep Yi? The safest way is to win three consecutive championships so that Yi can see that the New York Knicks are willing to build Belongs to his dynasty~www.mtlnovel.com~This is the best gift!”
The Lakers’ such a big movement also made many fans suddenly turn their attention to the New York Knicks.
The Knicks won two consecutive championships this summer. For this team, they are going to win three consecutive championships. Of course, this kind of thinking is also normal. Who will win the two consecutive championships? Will think of winning three consecutive championships, after all, for any team, three consecutive championships are equal to a dynasty.
Although the two consecutive championships are domineering, there is still something missing.
It is said that the Knicks’ biggest opponent in the new season will still be the Thunder, but the Thunder exposed a lot of problems in the Finals. Westbrook has to grow up. I really don’t know how it will grow in the new season. In addition, Whether James Harden’s performance on the bench can be one step closer is also the key to whether the Thunder can bring more trouble to the Knicks.
In short, there are still some unknowns in the Thunder. Although these guys played very well this year, the young team is like this. Maybe this year’s chemistry is good, reaching the finals, and next season there is no chemistry. Now, you won’t even be able to play the Western Conference Finals later.
These are all possible.
So to be honest, in the eyes of many fans, the Knicks maintain the current momentum, no, it should be said that Yi Jianlian can complete the three consecutive championships regardless of the current momentum.
Only now, new enemies have appeared, and the Lakers have formed a “new f4”. This paper strength can be said to be even more powerful than the Heat’s “Big Three”.
Naturally, it has become the biggest threat to the Knicks.
However, the waiting of the fans was not in vain, but within 5 days, the New York Knicks sent an amazing news-they brought the best sixth man of the year James Harden from the Thunder to New York!
