Chapter 225 The Deal to Self-Destroy the Great Wall

Historically, the Jazz used this pick to select Gordon Hayward.

Hayward is indeed an All-Star small forward when he is not injured.

But Li Ran has a better candidate!
In this deal, the Grizzlies have suffered a lot in terms of player value alone.

Kirilenko is not even a starter in the Jazz now, and was almost placed in the sixth man position by Sloan.

Regardless of Iverson or Turkoglu, both have the ability to play a starting position on a strong team.

However, as Cole said just now, the Grizzlies now have too many players who cannot perform to their due level.

Ke Liu, who is capable of averaging 20 points per game, averaged 6 points per game this season.

Originally, the Grizzlies' leading scorer this season - Zach Randolph had only 11 points.

Korver, who can hardly play the ball, has an average of about [-] per game.

Then, Li Ran threw an amazing news to Cole and Calipari with a smile.

"What if I have a way to keep Kirilenko from getting hurt?"

Yao Ming's injury was healed by Li Ran. Although not many people knew about it, it was not a secret among the NBA management.

The performance of Dayao, who is at the peak of his strength, is obvious to all in the Lakers. He is now the league's well-deserved No. [-] center.

Cole's eyes lit up.

If Kirilenko's strength can really go back five years, then the Grizzlies will make a lot of money in this deal.

"Without Iverson and Hedo, will it affect the team's record this season?" Calipari is most concerned about the team's record.

Li Ran thought for a while: "If the offensive potential of others can be developed, I don't think Allen's leaving the team will have much impact."

"That's it!"

Iverson's current position in the Grizzlies has always made Calipari very tangled.

In fact, the most suitable position for him is the sixth man, but the stubborn and arrogant answer has told everyone clearly from the beginning of his career that he will not accept playing as a substitute. If he is allowed to play as a substitute, he would rather retire where he is.

As a result, the Grizzlies have been troubled by the lack of perimeter defense for most of the season.

It is impossible for Curry to play as a substitute. His potential is blind. The team still expects him to grow up as soon as possible and rule the league with Li Ran.

After thinking about it, he simply traded the answer, so that the Grizzlies would have more room to deploy their troops.

Without further ado, Cole immediately sent a trade offer to the Jazz.

On the Utah Plateau, coach Sloan tremblingly accepted the trade application from the Grizzlies.

He frowned, subconsciously thinking that Grizzly was up to something.

Is this a gift for Jazz?
You know, this season, the Jazz's weakest link is the team's second position.

Now the Jazz's starting shooting guard is CJ-Myers, the player that the Jazz picked up from the second round.

But now, if Iverson is exchanged, it can only be said to be a shotgun change.

In addition, replacing Kirilenko with Turkoglu can also be said to be a small enhancement.

After all, the Jazz are based on defense, and they rely more on the coordinated defense of the entire team. The lack of one Kirilenko now has little impact on the Jazz.

Turkoglu has a three-pointer, has height, is organized, and is very suitable for the current Jazz's tactical style.

If that's all, then Sloan would agree to the deal without hesitation.

Who can refuse such a good deed?

But the requirement for the first-round pick later on must be considered by Sloan.

This is a first-round lottery pick with a high probability.

Sloan was lost in thought.

The old man's lifelong wish is to lead the Jazz to a championship.

Utah Shuangsha, who had this strength back then, was abruptly blocked from the championship by the old hooligans.

And when the Utah Shuangsha got old, it took Sloan several years to form the new generation of Shuangsha combination now composed of Deron and Boozer.

Although not as strong as Stockton and Malone, the Jazz can be considered a strong team with the reinforcements of others.

Sloan closed his eyes.

The biggest problem is. . .

He is old, and may not have so much time to wait for the newcomers to grow up gradually.

He is 68 years old, how many years can he be a coach?
After thinking for a while, Sloan handed the fax to the assistant next to him.

"Promise."

Just halfway through the 2009-10 regular season, the Grizzlies had a shocking news.

They gave up Iverson, who was stable and excellent this season, and Turkoglu, who played very well on the bench, and exchanged from the Jazz for the top defensive wing in the league, Andrei Kirilenko, and a player from The Knicks' first-round pick.

Most of the media unanimously gave the Grizzlies a low score for this self-destructing deal.

When they learned that the Grizzlies were the first to initiate the deal, they even bluntly said that Cole's brain must be broken to make this deal.

After the Jazz got Iverson and Turkoglu, they became the league's top team.

At least, that's how it looks on paper.

Deron Williams, Allen Iverson, Hedo Turkoglu, Carlos Boozer, Mehmet Okur.

And what about the Grizzlies?

They just strengthened the team's defense nondescriptly, and also took Kirilenko's big contract.

The 1600 million contract is already close to the maximum salary, and Kirilenko's performance cannot be said to be worthy of the salary he received anyway.

Li Ran did not see Iverson for the last time, but Curry said that when he learned that he was traded, Iverson was very calm.

After the digital man left, the answer of moving to multiple teams has gradually been smoothed out by this doggy league. Except for his last stubbornness in starting, at other times, the answer is just to play well.

Turkoglu felt a sense of relief. The Turk was not happy playing in the Grizzlies this season. As the outside core of the Magic that reached the Finals last season, his playing time this season has not been that of Crawford. many.

In the Jazz, and his fellow, Turkey center Okur.

Turkoglu has no doubts that he has a brighter future with the Jazz.

Kirilenko soon came to the Grizzlies to report.

What caught AK47 a little by surprise was that. . .Li Ran seemed to be too affectionate with him.

In the Grizzlies' next game against the Hornets, Li Ran had a rare total of five assists, and all of these five assists were for Kirilenko.

基里连科首发登场，在李然和库里的联手喂球下，好久没得到过这么多出手权的基里连科砍下了32分11篮板5助攻2抢断2盖帽的数据。

However, his efficiency is not high, and the Grizzlies only beat the Hornets by 7 points.

You know, as the core of the Hornets, Paul is not afraid of anything in this league, except for Li Ran.

Li Ran played dead hands in two games last year, which almost cast a psychological shadow on the poor me.

This is not over yet. After the game, the team had a holiday the next day. Li Ran enthusiastically invited his teammates to his home.

The reason is to celebrate Kirilenko, who has just joined the team.

For a while, AK47 felt a little flattered.
