Jamison + first round + cash, in exchange for Brad Miller, it was definitely a loss, but the facts proved that even if you gathered all the core combinations of the "Seven Stars" such as "Finley, Nowitzki, Anthony Walker, Jamison, Divac, and Sean Bradley, if they don't match, if there is a position conflict, it would be better than when Anthony Walker and Jamison were not introduced before.

Cuban received a lot of praise for decisively admitting and correcting his wrong operations.

The Jazz are the ones who make a lot of money, a wing defender who is useless to play a team like them, and also saves the rest of the salary and expenses of the season. In the end, they actually got a power forward who averaged 22 points and 7 rebounds last season and averaged 24 points in the 00-01 season!

This power forward is only 27 years old and is at its peak!

The Supersonics are quite eye-catching in this deal.

It's no secret that they've been selling Brad Miller.

It is no secret that he has rejected the Mavericks' trade request and is unwilling to trade with the Mavericks.

The Mavericks also refused the Supersonics' trade request. In the summer of 2002, after Jordan retired, the Supersonics tried to trade Van Exel back as the sixth man. At that time, the Supersonics had enough room to eat, which was to save the Mavericks' salary, and were willing to give Parker.

However, the Mavericks refused and kept Van Exel for a year.

It's surprising that the Supersonics actually helped the Mavericks.

However, the Supersonics received more rewards from pulling the Mavericks into the trade, and there were still many people who praised them.

Brad Miller's trading value has been falling, and the expiration contract is the demand for the Mavericks, a team that is clearly usable. Divac is old and Brad Miller is at its peak.

At this time, Howard Schultz's identity as a "big businessman" was praised.

Some media commented that if you change the team, you may not be willing to help the Mavericks because of the grudges in the transaction, and you will endure it even if you lose money.

For example, Kevin McHale, the Timberwolves's just fired vice president, has basically finished his career in the uniform group.

Some media reported that what the SuperSonics originally wanted was Laga Bale. Laga Bale averaged 14 points, 4.2 rebounds and 2.5 assists per game this season, but was rejected by Zhang Hao.

...

After completing the transaction, the attention of the Mavericks increased again.

Before, their attention was basically because they had collected the Dragon Ball, and the winning rate was only 50%.

Before the start of the season, the Mavericks played in the Western Conference finals last season due to their second record in the Western Conference last season, and introduced two All-Star-level insiders in the summer. On the basis of the Supersonics losing Ben Wallace and having won three consecutive championships, the Mavericks became the number one favorite in the Western Conference, and the result was that bad...

According to sources, the Mavericks had already planned to forcefully change the playing attitude of Anthony Walker and Jamison. Anthony Walker was fine and cooperated very well, but if Jamison didn't learn how to cooperate with Nowitzki to play, they would just hide and sit on the bench.

This is a solution that cannot be solved. After all, Jamison's contract is still long. Including the contract for 5 years this season, if they cannot be replaced, they will at least be satisfied with the chips, and they will not be able to trade.

Then you can only force Jamison to change himself.

Now, with a relatively better solution, although the loss is a loss, the Mavericks are expected to quickly turn the situation around!

Brad Miller, as early as last season, some experts suggested that the Mavericks pursue Brad Miller after the contract expired. Both of them happened to have expired in 2004.

Anthony Walker is more willing to sacrifice than Jamison and has better conditions to change his playing style. Nowitzki's performance is no longer hindered... The Mavericks may go on track and become the biggest enemy of the Kings, the strongest team in the West, the current West!

this……

It is the public opinion environment that the Supersonics management and coaching team want.

This time the Supersonics trade, the Supersonics were not involved in the hot topic...

On December 27, after a day off after the Christmas game, the Supersonics will be on the home game against the Kings.

After Ben Wallace left, Artest was undoubtedly one of the three strongest players in the Supersonics. Maybe Odom and Ginobili were a little stronger when they broke out, but in terms of continuous output, these two people were 100% inferior to Artest.

Artest's injury has a great impact on the Supersonics, and Deshen Stevenson has not arrived yet and there is a vacant position.

Fortunately, the Supersonics team has sufficient staff, Chandler and Chris Anderson, who had injuries before, have no problem now, so the others can just move their positions.

Zhang Hao himself is that ‘other person’.

Zhang Hao moved himself to the small forward position, Odom and Chandler partnered with the inside to face the Kings!

...

...

At 7:40 pm on December 27, 2003, players from the Kings and Supersonics entered the X Stadium one after another.

What does it mean to be full of energy mean? Zhang Hao felt it from Garnett and Wang Zhizhi.

"Kevin Garnett, 27 years old, 1 cm (?), 114 kg, 99 ability evaluation, 95 offense, 101 defense, 91 passes... Average 24.6 points, 13 rebounds, 5.9 assists, 1.6 steals and 1.5 blocks..."

"Wang Zhizhi, 26 years old, 4 cm, 116 kg, 89 ability evaluation, 91 offense, 82 defense, 84 passes... Average 15 points, 9.2 rebounds, 4.1 assists and 1.8 blocks per game..."

"Gary Payton, 35 years old, 193 cm, 84 kg, ability evaluation 84, offense 82, defense 85... Average 14.4 points, 2.9 rebounds, 3.9 assists and 1.1 steals per game..."

"Peja Stojakovic, 26 years old, 206 cm, 100 kg, ability evaluation 87, offense 94, defense 76... Average 20.1 points, 4.2 rebounds and 1.9 assists..."

"Doug Christie, 33 years old, 198 cm, 95 kg, ability evaluation 84, offense 76, defense 93... Average of 9.2 points, 4.4 rebounds and 3.4 assists..."

‘The assists of the two towers combined are even higher than those of the outside trio… This…oh!

We have also had it, and I averaged triple-double in the game that year, which was averaging a point guard to a small forward, combined.’

"The Sacramento Kings have played 28 games in the 2003-2004 season, winning and losing, averaging 106.5 points per game (3rd in the league), limiting their opponents to score 97.1 points per game (14th in the league), shooting percentage of 47.7%, and limiting their opponents to shoot 44.6% from the field..."

'The defense is not particularly good. Although Payton deserves to be the middle class, the Kings can sign him at this price to make a lot of money, but now he is definitely much worse than Bibi. Last season is a different matter. Now Payton has declined severely, and his defense is basically supported by the inside, and Christie, who is at the peak of the outside, has a moderate overall defense...but the offense is also too fierce!'

Garnett's performance this season confirms a statement that made Weber fans very unhappy this summer...

Weber is very strong at the peak, and Weber is a superstar, but Weber's performance at his peak is just a performance Garnett plays every year.

Wang Zhizhi, this season has changed a lot.

Although Zhang Hao is not always paying attention to the three signing players, except for the life span that he receives after each game, he will understand the data, and occasionally study the current style of the three players to see if there is anything to give advice.

There are many suggestions that Yao Ming can give, but Hu Weidong can basically not use them.

Wang Zhizhi can give a lot of advice, but Coach Zhang doesn't need to worry about it.

Wang Zhizhi now has Garnett's guidance, and Wang Zhizhi has been playing for so many years, so it's more about this pair of inside partners discussing.

The feedback Zhang Hao received from Wang Zhizhi, as the season deepened, the relationship between Wang Zhizhi and Garnett became more and more harmonious.

Zhang Hao could think of how to be harmonious. Anyway, based on his impression of Garnett, if Wang Zhizhi had not performed well enough, even if Garnett said it before, he would have had conflicts with Wang Zhizhi.

Everyone knows that Garnett's words after being traded to the Kings are fake and forced to death.

Zhang Hao, Cassel, Garnett, Weber, Payton, Wang Zhizhi, Odom, and the seven major stars entered the court and greeted each other.

The atmosphere was very unfriendly.

But it didn't start to quarrel or argue, it was mainly an atmosphere.

The players of the two teams exchanged greetings and returned to their respective benches to make their final preparations before the game.

‘Xiao Zhizhi is now with Garnett, and it feels completely different. She still looks like she is liberating her nature after having dinner last night. Today, she plays the game and has a real feeling of being an opponent. Even though he worked hard and wanted to win in the Western Conference Finals before, he was still a little childish when communicating...’

Zhang Hao can guess that although Wang Zhizhi never said anything he encountered in the Kings team or complained, Zhang Hao recalled that he was back then... It was definitely not easy for Wang Zhizhi to gain a foothold in the Kings team.

But for men, if the other party doesn’t tell me about this kind of thing, Zhang Hao himself will not be pretentious.

He himself also knew that as a man, it was not easy for people with good relationships to see him, and he wanted relatives and friends to think that everything was going well.

...

At 8 pm, the Supersonics' home game against the Kings started.

For the first time in the new season, the Supersonics were at a disadvantage in their strength, and Artest was injured. Although Zhang Hao scored 41 points, 11 rebounds and 4 assists tonight, Kassel scored 19 points and 8 assists, and the two scored 60 points and 12 assists together. Except for them, the Supersonics scored 15 points and scored in double digits. Odom performed poorly tonight, making 3 of 8 shots, 9 points, 6 rebounds and 2 assists.

98 to 105, the Supersonics lost to the Kings at home.

Garnett scored 18 points, 14 rebounds and 7 assists, Wang Zhizhi scored 24 points, 9 rebounds and 3 assists, Peja scored 22 points, Payton scored 6 points and 6 assists, Anthony Pierre, who came on the bench, made 4 of 4 three-pointers, only scored three-pointers, but scored 12 points...

Anthony Pierre, also Zhang Hao's old teammate, was traded to the Raptors that year. Later, after the suspension, he joined the Timberwolves and followed Garnett, and now he is following the Kings.

This season, Anthony Pierre, who will turn 35, averaged 1.4 three-pointers with a 49.1% three-point shooting percentage, averaging only 12 minutes per game, but extremely efficient.

Tonight, Anthony Pierre made a contribution.

In fact, Zhang Hao and Kassel both performed very well tonight, and once played back and forth with the Kings, but unexpectedly, Anthony Pierre, who made two three-pointers in the second half of the second quarter, became the key point. Anthony Pierre made two more three-pointers in the third quarter. The Supersonics were beaten by the Kings in the third quarter. In the last quarter, Zhang Hao led his teammates to chase the points, but only narrowed the gap to 7 points.

Losing to the Kings, the Supersonics' record turned into 19 wins and 10 losses, and they suffered their 10th loss in the season!

...

...

Although he expected that he might lose to the Kings, Zhang Hao still felt very uncomfortable if he really lost. He could only accept such things and there was no other way. Fortunately, after playing for so many years, it is not a big trouble to regulate his emotions.

The trouble is that playing against the Kings is just the beginning...

After the game against the Kings, he did not lament the loss to Zhang Hao and his teammates at all. He set out early the next morning and came to Philadelphia to challenge the 76ers away.

The timids are starving to death and the bold ones are thrust to death.

The 76ers are the latter.

First, he bet on Mutombo in the 200-01 season to help Iverson win the MVP, and then he did it in a sprint style, getting Rahim and Van Horn.

The most outrageous thing is that they actually exchanged for Van Horn for Mutombo, Rahim for the expiration contract of Coleman and others, and also sent George Lynch's pension contract away.

It feels like Duncan used Iverson's hair volume to exchange for luck. It can be seen that the 76ers management was trading randomly in the middle of last season, but it turned out to be the current lineup.

, Snow, Iverson, Van Horn, Raheem, Duncan.

Substitutes, Willy Green, John Samuels, Aaron McGee, Kenny Thomas, Samuel Delhamport.
