The strongest unicorn in basketball

Chapter 97 Transaction Deadline
On February 2, the first game day after the All-Star Weekend, the Thunder played against the Clippers at home.

格林全场出战28分钟，12投7中，砍下全队最高的22分，帮助雷霆队111:88大胜快船。

From this point of view, the rumors have indeed affected Green, but not necessarily in a bad way!
Everyone knows that Green is a player with a big heart, but didn't expect his heart to be so big?
Then the next day, the Thunder went to Orlando to challenge the fourth-ranked Magic in the Eastern Conference.

Tonight's Howard continued his advantage against Li Pu in the All-Star Game. With God's help, he ravaged the basket, played 42 minutes, scored 40 points and 15 assists, helping the Magic beat the Thunder 111:99.

It has to be said that at this time, Howard beat Li Pu, just like the female Zhao Riyue Tian beat Howard.

The reason for this is that Li Pu's current confrontation is not enough. When facing this kind of opponent who needs a strong bridge and a strong horse, Li Pu is often at a disadvantage.

As for Green, he continued to score an efficient 20+. It can be seen that under the uproar of trading messages, Green is also working hard and wants to change something.

With the end of the two games, it came to February 2, which is the trade deadline of this season.

The general trading deadline is set on the 16th Thursday after the start of each season. After the trading deadline, the league will calculate the total salary of each team according to the latest lineup on the deadline day, which exceeds the luxury tax trigger line. The team will be subject to a luxury tax.

Teams are not allowed to trade again until the day before the draft in June, but they can still choose to lay off their own players and sign free agents to solve problems such as sudden injuries.

The Thunder didn't have a game today, but Li Pu and others all came to Green's house.

There is one thing to say, Green's house is still good.

Located halfway up the mountain, this beautiful detached villa is only a 10-minute drive from the Chesapeake Energy Arena.

"This place is nice, Prince, you can sell your run-down house later and buy one here!" After dinner, everyone was having fun, Collison looked at the decoration of the house, and joked to Li Pu.

"Don't worry about Prince, maybe I can sell the house to him when I make a deal!" Green teased before Li Pu could speak.

I have to say that such a hell-level joke is somewhat inappropriate for others to say, but Green himself said that it can still make people laugh.

"Don't say that, Jeff, you won't be traded!" Li Pu comforted.

"Prince, you are still young, and you don't understand what kind of league this is! Since I entered the NBA in 07, it has been less than 4 years now. The players in the team who are still in the team at that time are just Only Kevin, Nick, and me are left! I have seen too many people leave and come, and I am used to trading." Green said earnestly to Li Pu.

"I understand, I just think that you are more suitable for the Thunder!" Li Pu persuaded.

"There is nothing suitable or not. After all, this is just a job. I hope you don't have such a day!"

Li Pu didn't believe Green's words at all. If he really didn't care so much, why did he try to prove himself in these two games?
"The call hasn't come yet, maybe Jeff won't be traded?" At this time, Durant not far away also said.

"Kevin, you should really listen to me and advise the management!" Li Pu persuaded Durant.

"Isn't that good? After all, I'm just a player, not a team executive." Durant said embarrassingly.

Seeing Durant's appearance, Li Pu cursed secretly, and stopped talking.

He knew that Durant at this time was still too immature, he didn't look like the back, not to mention the manager, even the boss, he was not a bird, and he could leave whenever he wanted.

"Jeremy, what's the matter with you?" Since arriving at Green's house, Li Pu found that Lin Shuhao hadn't spoken from the beginning to the end, and had been sitting in a corner.

Lin Shuhao is indeed a little strange recently, he rarely communicates with Li Pu, and he didn't go to Los Angeles to cheer for Li Pu in the All-Star Game, so he is much withdrawn.

"Ah? I'm fine! I'm fine!" Lin Shuhao seemed to be frightened and shuddered. He only reacted when he saw Li Pu.

"Are you worried about being traded?" Li Pu saw through Lin Shuhao's heart at a glance.

"I'm...a bit!" Looking at Li Pu's eyes that seemed to see through him, Lin Shuhao finally nodded, and then sighed: "I'm just afraid that after I'm traded, I won't be able to play again. "

"Don't worry, no matter whether you will be traded or not, you can continue to play in this league! As long as you don't give up!"

"You trust me so much?" Lin Shuhao wondered, where did Li Pu's confidence come from?

"In this world, no one believes in you more than me! Including you!"

"It's started, there's a deal!" Suddenly, Harden's voice attracted everyone's attention.

Everyone stopped what they were doing and came behind Harden to check the information on the computer.

"Shall we go and have a look too?" Li Pu patted Lin Shuhao on the shoulder, and pulled him towards the crowd.

"The Bulls traded James Johnson for a first-round pick from the Raptors!"

"Tch, what kind of deal is this?" Lin Shuhao couldn't help but said after seeing the news, everyone was disappointed.

"This is just the beginning!" Li Pu knew very well that this year's trade deadline was very exciting.

"By the way, Kevin, you called Presti earlier, did you ask for any information?" Li Pu asked Durant again.

"I asked, but he didn't say anything. After all, the deal hasn't been completed yet, and even he doesn't know if it can be done!" Durant explained.

That's right, no one knows if a deal can be reached before the deal happens.

Only time will have the answer!
When the time approached 0 o'clock, a series of transactions followed, making everyone overwhelmed, until a big transaction made everyone exclaim.

"The Knicks, the Nuggets and the Forest team have reached a three-way deal! Melons come to Apple City!"

It turned out that the Knicks pulled up the league's best Timberwolves and completed a three-way deal with the Nuggets.

In the end, the Knicks got Carmelo Anthony, Chauncey Billups, Anthony Carter, Sheldon Williams, Corey Brewer

Nuggets get Wilson Chandler, Raymond Felton, Danilo Gallinari, Timothy Mozgov, 2021 and 2013 second-round picks from Knicks, 2014 The first-round pick from the Knicks in 2016 and the first-round pick with the Timberwolves in [-].

The Timberwolves got Eddie Curry, Anthony Randolph, a second-round pick from the Knicks in 2015, and cash.

"My God! I didn't expect Cameron to actually transfer!"

"However, it seems that the Nuggets are not at a loss!"

Li Pu expressed doubts about Durant's words. In later generations, a Gobert can be exchanged for 5 first rounds, one more than Durant. How many people did Anthony change?And hooked up with so many people!
However, I have to say that this deal is really big, so that the subsequent deal about Deron Williams has become less exciting.

In a game against the Bulls before the All-Star break, Jazz coach Sloan and the team's core Deron Williams broke out a huge conflict, and finally coach Sloan suddenly announced his resignation the next day.

And today, Deron was also traded to the Nets in exchange for Derek Favors, Devin Harris, the first-round signing in 2011 and the first-round signing in 2013.

"Wait, there's trade information from the Thunder!"

There were too many big melons just now, which distracted everyone's attention, making them almost forget Green's trade message.

"The Thunder traded DJ White and Peterson to the Bobcats for Nazer Mohammed."

"The Thunder traded Krstic to the Wizards for a 2011 second-round pick!"

"It's gone, is it gone?"

"It seems to be gone!"

"Jeff doesn't have to go? That's great!"

"Oh!!!"

Everyone cheered.

Among the crowd, Li Pu also put his arms around Lin Shuhao's shoulders, and said, "Keep going! Since you haven't been traded, let's find a way to get in the rotation!"
