Chapter 51 The Dust Settled Again
The core of the Nuggets is now Anthony, there is no doubt about this.

The proud son of the golden generation of 03 and the super genius who was brilliant for a while with James, he has been working hard in the league for five years, and it will be his sixth season soon.

生涯至今，安东尼一共打了379场常规赛，场均出手19次，可以贡献24.4分6篮板3助攻1.1抢断0.5盖帽3.1失误，命中率46%。

When it comes to Anthony, everyone will give a thumbs up, saying that this is a super scorer who is rare in ten years. He can shoot suddenly and has no shortcomings on the offensive end. It can be called an offensive kaleidoscope.

and then?
What is the number of James who is in the same period as him?

詹姆斯进入联盟到现在，一共打了391场常规赛，场均出手21次，贡献27.3分6.9篮板6.6助攻1.7抢断0.8盖帽，命中率46.7%。

As for Anthony's current honor, except for the mosquito legs such as the best of the month, the best is two and three teams, and the playoffs have not broken the first round of the curse. .

James has won two second teams and two first teams, two All-Star MVPs and a scoring champion. He even successfully broke through the Eastern Conference in the playoffs of the previous year and got a valuable opportunity to be beaten by the Spurs. .

Fans who like Anthony no matter how much they have to admit, James has pulled Anthony further and further away from the two starting from the same starting point.

The Nuggets have tried many ways to activate Anthony's full potential, whether it is the unlimited firepower at the beginning of his career or the subsequent trade to Iverson to form a "Double A", but these methods have failed now.

Moreover, it's time for Anthony to deliver results.

The perimeter height of the Nuggets last season was too low.

Their starting guard last season was a combination of Iverson and Anthony Carter.

Carter is 1.8 meters five.

Iverson knows everything.

So this season, George Karl is going to work on the back line.

His ideal target is Billups of the Pistons.

Nicknamed Big Heart, the point guard who looks like Cassel is the kind of field control master whose statistics are not outstanding. Compared with Iverson, Billups's skill in rhythm control is not 01:30 .

George Karl feels that the team needs such a commander to restrain the team's offensive rhythm that is becoming more and more like a wild dog.

chips?

The bargaining chip, of course, is Iverson.

Iverson is 31 years old this year, and his style of play is destined to not last long at his peak.

So the Nuggets management decided to send Iverson away as soon as possible while Iverson still has trade value.

Iverson's current value is definitely higher than that of Billups.

Thinking of the No. 13 rookie that Anthony has always been obsessed with, George Karl rolled his eyes and had more calculations in his heart.

Now that Anthony said that Li Ran's level in the summer league was seriously inconsistent with his real level, George Karl of course chose to believe in his favorite disciple.

And a player who averaged only 5 points per game in the summer league, even if he is the 13th pick, is not of much value.

And as a veteran who has been in the NBA for many years, George Karl knows that the Mosaic team is more eager to achieve results than the Nuggets.

As we all know, the Mosaic team has two cores.

One is injured, and the other is also injured.

Seeing that the Yao-Mai combination is about to go downhill, Mosaic certainly wants to make another effort while they are still at their peak. Artest is the best proof that this season can be called a stealthy trade.

In this case, what the Rockets need more than potential rookies is immediate combat power.

"Then give them immediate combat power!" George Karl squinted, his brain running at high speed.

"The manager, the Bobcats asked us to give a reply before tomorrow. The final reply date of the Suns, Pacers, and Lakers is also approaching."

A member of the uniform came to Dawson's office and handed him several faxes.

Dawson took it with his old eyes dazed, looked at it for a while, and then nodded.

"Coach Adelman, please come over."

Not long after, Adelman came to Dawson's office.

"How to say?"

Dawson handed the faxes to Adelman, pushed the glasses on the bridge of his nose, and asked in a deep voice.

"Richardson is of course the best, but we already have Ron in the swingman position, and the position is not very abundant. And we have Raf (Alstom) in the chips we used to select Li Ran, we need to use it in the follow-up The trade will make up for the shortcomings of the point guard." Adelman talked eloquently.

He regrets it so much now.

What did the ex-general manager of MMP think? He took Love and a No. 25 pick to select Li Ran.

Isn't this a proper kind of injustice?

If you can hear Adelman's current thoughts, Mogou's coffin may not be able to hold it down. .

"But the best bargaining chip offered by these companies is Richardson. If it doesn't work, we can trade here first, and then seek other deals."

"That's all it takes."

After the discussion between the two, Dawson has picked up the phone and is ready to talk to the Bobcats.

At this moment, the member of the uniform team who came in just now knocked on the door again and walked in.

"Manager, this is the Nuggets' trade application."

Dawson put down the phone in surprise, took the fax and read it.

"Three-party deal?" He was even more surprised after reading the content.

"The Nuggets have a big move? Yes, the answer doesn't match their lineup very well." Adelman basically guessed the idea of ​​the Nuggets just by hearing a key word.

Two days later, news came out that shocked the league.

The Nuggets, Pistons, and Mosaics made a three-way deal.

The Nuggets sent Allen Iverson, Anthony Carter, and Linus Kleiza.

The Pistons sent Chauncey Billups, Antonio McDyess, and Cheek Sambu.

The rocket sent Li Ran.

The Nuggets get Li Ran and Chauncey Billups.

The Pistons get Allen Iverson.

The Rockets get Anthony Carter, Linus Kleiza, Antonio McDyess and Cheek Sambu.

Small forward Kleiza from Lithuania averaged 22 points in 11 minutes per game as Anthony's substitute last season, and is a very important firepower point on the Nuggets' bench.

Anthony Carter was also the starting guard combination of the Nuggets last season who partnered with Iverson.

Although Antonio McDyess of the Pistons is already a veteran, his performance has been very stable, and he can contribute an average of 8+8 per game last season.

As soon as this transfer came out, it was immediately rated by the media as the most explosive deal of this offseason.

The three teams each get what they need. The Nuggets reorganized their backcourt and spent a lot of resources in exchange for this year's No. 13 pick.

The Pistons got a superstar, which gave them a boost to their sluggish ball market in recent years, and also greatly increased the team's offensive firepower.

Mosaic just sent out Li Ran, the No. 13 pick, plus the bargaining chip for trading the No. 13 pick, which is equivalent to using Alstom + the No. 25 pick to comprehensively strengthen his lineup.

Point guard, small forward, power forward, center, this is almost a complete substitute lineup.

They had to cut several fringe players to narrow the roster down to qualifying.

"This is a win-win deal, but I feel that the Nuggets get the least." A certain sports program, the host talked to the camera.

"They almost dismantled last season's lineup, only in exchange for a point guard who is not as good as Iverson and a rookie with mediocre performance and serious injury risks. Too many drugs."

The Pistons trade rating is B+, the Rockets trade rating is A, and the Nuggets trade rating is B-.

When Li Ran knew that he had been traded again, he froze in place as he was packing his luggage to go to the preseason game.

Then came joy.

No matter where it is, it is better than this impersonal mosaic.
