On November 13, a major news came out of the league.

On this day, the highly anticipated defending champion Wizards announced on the official website that the team had officially reached a deal with the Grizzlies.

In this deal, the Wizards will give Vucevic Crawford McKee's 13-year second-round draft pick and a $4.5 million trade special, and get Mark Gasol Rudy Guy from the Grizzlies.

As this deal spread, the league immediately fell into an uproar, because this deal is likely to change the entire league's championship pattern.

After all, the Wizards are one of the biggest favorites to win the championship this season, so every transaction he makes will touch the heartstrings of other teams in the league and make other teams feel afraid.

Although there are at least 25 teams in the league who are unwilling to take over Rudy Guy, no matter what, Guy is also the leading star of the Grizzlies this season.

And they are also extremely outstanding in personal abilities and data, so when Guy and Mark Gasol airborne Washington, other teams still feel panic.

Even though the Wizards seem to have paid a lot in this deal, the ones that are really valuable are Vucevic and the $4.5 million transaction exception.

As for both Crawford and McGee, both of them have last year contracts, which are not very personal value for the Wizards, but for the Grizzlies, this kind of contract that is about to expire is the ideal transaction object.

Seeing the deal between the Wizards and the Grizzlies, many professionals in the league were confused.

Because Vucevic has been making a big splash recently, and Yang Fan praised Vucevic more than once at the press conference.

As a result, not long after, Yang Fan traded Vucevic to the Grizzlies in exchange for Mark Gasol in the same position, which was really confusing.

The most important thing is that the insiders of the league are very clear that Marc Gasol is the core figure in the deal between the two parties, and Rudy Gay is more like an accessory.

Even Guy is the boss of the Grizzlies.

Vucevic and Mark Gasol have similar data this season, and it is difficult to tell the difference from the data alone.

Even if Marc Gasol's defensive efficiency is much higher than that of Vucevic, the key is that after the trade comes to Marc Gasol, the Wizards will have to re-run the exercise.

This is really not good news for a team that wins the championship.

However, considering that the Wizards made this deal early in the season, the Wizards will have plenty of time to run in and basically won't delay the playoff journey.

In addition, judging from this transaction, it is actually difficult to tell whether the Wizards are more profitable or the Grizzlies are more profitable.

It can only be said that both sides take their own needs and each has their own wishful thinking.

The Grizzlies used Marc Gasol to send Guy away this sky-high contract to avoid Guy's condition in the future and thus face embarrassment in his hands.

The Wizards sent away Vucevic and Crawford, two combat powers, and thus gained the stronger Marc Gasol and Rudy Guy.

If we look at paper strength alone, then the Wizards will definitely take advantage.

But sometimes the transaction is not superficial, so whoever makes money and loses this transaction has to be decided by time.

As for McGee's original playing time with the Wizards, he didn't have much playing time. Although he had potential visible to the naked eye, the Wizards had no time to train McGee.

In a sense, whether McGee stays on the team or not will have any impact on the Wizards.

…………………

As the outside world has been talking about the deal between the Grizzlies and the Wizards, Yang Fan, who is the person involved, seems very calm and has no concerns about the team after the transaction.

Because Yang Fan knew very well that Marc Gasol's joining could not only share Yao Ming's pressure on the field to the greatest extent, but also make the Wizards in the playoffs stronger.

No matter how much Yang Fan advocates offense, he has to admit that he is fighting for defense in the playoffs. For two teams with similar offensive firepower, who has better defense, will go further in the playoffs.

So this is why Yang Fan traded for Mark Gasol. If it was just the regular season, then Vucevic would have no problem at all.

But the key is that Yang Fan has great ambitions, so big that it is difficult for Vucevic to hold on.

But if it were Marc Gasol, then Gasol could take on this important task.

After all, in his late years, Gasol could use his defense to cry "Emperor" Embiid, and by the way, he lost Vucevic's maximum salary in the playoffs in the second year.

The latter only signed a contract of 100 million yuan.

You should know that Adebayo's contract was 160 million in five years and Gobert's contract was 200 million in five years.

Even Capela has a five-year contract of $90 million, so Vucevic, the All-Star Center, can only get this contract. Gasol, a young player in the playoffs, is definitely the culprit!!

In the entire series, Gasol Jr.'s defense of Vucevic could not find North, which allowed the Eastern Conference All-Star center to shoot as low as 40%.

Originally, Vucevic played the peak season of his personal career in his contract year and was also selected as the Eastern Conference All-Star. He was about to get a maximum salary contract.

As a result, after working hard for a year, I returned to the liberation of the war. I have to say that this is somewhat cruel.

As for Rudy and Guy, this point is the most important problem that Yang Fan should solve at the moment.

Although Guy's offensive efficiency this season is not high, in terms of personal strength, Guy can definitely rank among the top.

So what Yang Fan needs to do is find a position for Rudy Guy that suits him, so that Guy can integrate into this team as much as possible and become a great help for the Wizards to win the championship.

In addition, the Wizards currently have only 14 players after the trade, so the Wizards can watch the free market in the middle of the season and further strengthen the lineup.

Even if the Wizards' management is in good condition, it can communicate with other teams so that other teams can buy out some very powerful garbage contracts.

This will increase the chances of winning the Wizards' defending title in the new season!!

……………………

Next, the Wizards' opponent is the Philadelphia 76ers, a team that hovers on the edge of the playoffs.

After seeing off Igudara, the 76ers have officially entered the stage of no leaderlessness of the dragon.

In addition to Zhu Holiday, the 76ers are currently vigorously trained by Evan Turner, a player with excellent passing vision and a very comprehensive style of play.

But Evan Turner's shooting ability is too bad, and his shooting percentage is very low, and his defensive ability is average, so overall, it is better than Iguodala, who was just sent away by the 76ers.

This season, third-year Evan Turner can average 13.6 points, 6.1 rebounds and 4.3 assists per game, but Turner's shooting percentage is only 41%, so the Sixers' patience with Turner is almost exhausted.

If nothing unexpected happens, next year will be Turner's last year for playing with the Sixers.

In addition, the 76ers are still in a bad mood this season. The 76ers' management originally attracted the potential of "Little Shark" Bynum, so in a four-piece offseason, 76ers paid a big price to trade Bynum.

At the same time, in order to get Bynum, the 76ers also swallowed Richardson's 6 million yuan garbage contract, which is also a bundled transaction.

As a result, Richardson played pretty well in the new season, but Bynum failed to make a debut due to a knee injury.

According to rumors, Bynum will undergo knee arthroscopy soon and is likely to face season reimbursement.

This means that Bynum will not play for the 76ers in a single game this season, but Bynum can still get a salary of up to $17 million.

Perfectly explain to people, what does it mean to "people sit under the field, and money comes from heaven"!!

It can be said that the 76ers are definitely the most unlucky team this season. They spend a lot of money, but it's fine if the players can't play. The team's vigorous training of newcomers is bullshit, which really makes the management angry until the brain is congested.

In addition, the 76ers also used the amnesty clause to impose Brand's pardon this summer, thus removing Brand's salary of up to $16 million from the salary cap to avoid triggering luxury taxes.

But the 76ers still have to pay Brand's salary of $16 million in the last year, which means that Brand and Bynum did not play for the team in a single game.

As a result, the 76ers had to spend more than 30 million US dollars on the two of them, which was really crazy and stupid...

After the game began, the two teams still sent their regular lineups in this game.

76ers head coach Collins sat on the sidelines with expressionless face, and seemed to not care about the victory of the game.

Or maybe Collins simply didn't expect the team to win this victory. After all, the gap between the 76ers and the Wizards is still very huge. The fact that the game was able to gain so much attention was mainly due to the Wizards.

Since this game will be the first debut of the Wizards, two new players, Rudy Guy and Gasol Jr., the ratings are naturally rising steadily, and a lot of popularity has been accumulated before the game begins.

As soon as the game started, the Wizards caught the 76ers off guard with their sharp team offense.

The 76ers used Saidis Yang, a swing forward who was two meters tall and three, weighed only 100 kilograms, and had poor defensive ability.

So Aldridge has a completely advantage in this group of matches, and he made Sadison Yang miserable with his one-hand jump shot.

Throughout the first quarter, the 76ers were playing at their own pace and scoring hard in positional battles.

However, the Wizards can freely complete the switching in positional battles and defensive counterattacks, and no matter which method, they can easily break through the 76ers' defense line.

In the second half of the first quarter, Yang Fan replaced Gasol Jr. and Rudy Guy through rotation, which was also the first appearance of Gasol Jr. after he came to the Wizards.

Since the overall strength of the 76ers is not strong, at least in the eyes of the Wizards, Guy and Gasol Jr. did not encounter much defensive resistance on the court.

Especially Guy, the second team that led the team to fight against the 76ers was completely chopping melons and vegetables. It was easy to afford the score, without any pressure.

After all, no matter what, Guy is also the star of the Grizzlies. At this time, leading the second team to play in a defending champion team like the Wizards is much easier to afford points than when he was with the Grizzlies.

Originally, Guy had always been upset about playing as a substitute, but with Yang Fan's kindness and a series of persuasions from his teammates, Guy had temporarily accepted the role.

In the words of head coach Yang Fan, Guy is now a winner in life. Not only did he sign a big contract with the Grizzlies, but he also had the opportunity to create a dynasty and win the championship in a row after coming to the Wizards.

As the saying goes, you can't have both fish and bear's paws, but Guy has a very high chance of winning the money and the championship at the same time. This is simply a real winner in life.

And after Guy finished chatting with Yang Fan, he also benefited a lot.

After all, Guy is still very young. If he can win several championships in the Wizards, it will be of great benefit to his future development.

The contract can be signed at any time, but the championship is not always available!!

With the Wizards' first and second teams crushing the 76ers, at the end of the first half, the Wizards had already held a 17-point lead, only one step away from winning the game.

At the beginning of the second half of the game, when Yang Fan planned to let the game officially enter garbage time, a sudden change occurred on the field.

Yao Ming fell in pain in an inside rebounding competition. After landing, Yao Ming held his ankle and looked a little painful, as if he was injured just now.

Seeing this, Yang Fan immediately broke out in a cold sweat and hurriedly stood up and instructed the team doctor to check Yao Ming's physical condition.

Yao Ming is too important to the Wizards. If he is injured in such a game, it will definitely be a big loss for the Wizards.

After the team doctor entered the court, he immediately examined Yao Ming. As the team doctor continued to communicate with Yao Ming, Yao Ming finally stood up and was helped by the team doctor to leave the field.
To be continued...
