Chapter 234 233. Want to trade to Iverson? ! ! (seeking a monthly ticket)

"If you have any thoughts at the moment, you might as well talk about it. Since you came to me today, you must have some thoughts."

Looking at Stan Van Gundy, who was sitting across from him, frowning and puffing, the general manager Otis Smith was also sitting on the desk and looked at the old man with a smile on his face.

Although he is currently the team's general manager, Stan Van Gundy is definitely more aware of the team's lineup than him.

"Well, there must be some ideas, but what kind of transaction can be made in the end depends on your personal business."

"With the advancement of the All-Star game, the trade deadline is getting closer and closer, and each team has also made reinforcements, large and small."

"To be honest, it's a bit late for me to discover the problem since then, but if I don't make some adjustments to the lineup, it will be very difficult to win the championship this season, so we really don't have much time left."

"The only ones that the team can offer to trade and have certain trade value are Janiel and JJ."

"So you can find someone to serve as a staff member, let the market know a little bit, see if there is any suitable plan, and we can discuss it at that time."

After hearing Stan Van Gundy's words, Otis Smith didn't show too much surprise. He smoked his cigar silently, as if he was digesting these things.

"Well..., you really want to use Janel to make a deal, you really think about it."

Seeing Otis Smith's eyes asking him, Stan Van Gundy just smiled slightly:

"Yes, I've been thinking about this for a long time, but I was forced to do so before, but now I have a better choice, and I can indeed make a choice."

"What's more, I believe Janiel has already approached you. Since I put him on the bench, he has already proposed to actively seek a deal, but it seems that you rejected it before."

After listening to Van Gundy's words, Otis Smith also pondered for a moment, and then slowly said:

"Well... as long as you think about it, I will try my best to find a trading plan, but the contract on Janier is not small, and even if you want to make a deal, it will actually be difficult."

"Especially now that the trade deadline is getting closer and closer, and there are fewer and fewer targets for us to choose from, so this matter may not be easy to handle."

"Hey, I really don't know how that guy gave such a contract in a flash of his brain, but now this mess is going to fall into my hands. It's really a crime."

Facing Stan Van Gundy, Otis Smith, as the general manager, doesn't need to hide it, he basically says what he has.

After all, the ultimate goal of the two people is the same, that is to make the team's performance better and better, and strive to touch the mysterious and mysterious championship trophy as soon as possible.

"Hehe, Janiel's strength is actually worthy of such a contract, but he didn't expect Su's rise to be too fast."

Ignoring Stan Van Gundy's words, after saying these words, Otis Smith rested his forehead with one hand, as if he was thinking a little in his mind.

"Oh, by the way, I remembered. If you want to strengthen, if you are a star and at the end of your career, then there is really one person who fully meets our reinforcement standards."

"Huh? Who?"

"Allen (Iverson)"

"Aaron?! No, no, this is absolutely not possible!!"

Seeing Stan Van Gundy's obvious resistance after hearing the name, general manager Otis Smith also smiled bitterly, and then asked him helplessly:

"Why, have you heard about this recent incident? Or are you just more concerned about his past?"

After hearing the name Allen Iverson at that time, Stan Van Gundy jumped up from the sofa. Hearing Otis Smith's question at this moment, Van Gundy patted his forehead without any concealment.

"How could it be possible that I haven't heard of it? I'm afraid everyone in the league already knows about this matter. Otherwise, it would be impossible for the Pistons to fail to trade Allen for so long."

"Because this is obviously a mess. For those teams that want to win this season, it will not only pay a very high price to trade Allen."

"And the arrival of Allen may be a time bomb in the locker room, so the risk is too great."

"As for the teams outside the playoffs, there is no need to say more. Allen has reached this age. It is impossible for any team to rebuild with him as the core. Otherwise, the Nuggets would not be able to trade him in the first place."

"Plus his regression this season is too obvious, so no team is willing to take over this deal."

As Stan Van Gundy said, after Allen Iverson came to the Pistons this season, it can be said that everything is not right.

First of all, after coming to the team, the whole person's game state really dropped too fast. Secondly, Allen Iverson didn't know how to restrain himself outside the court, and missed training many times for no reason.

This also caused Iverson to directly have a very big disagreement with the team's head coach Michael Curry.

Even the two have reached the point where fire and water are incompatible so far.

After all, Allen Iverson has already passed his peak period, and his performance in the team is not even as good as CIC king Hamilton.

To put it in a bad way, he is basically a balloon star.

So Michael Curry will not be used to him at all.

Because Michael Curry's coaching philosophy has always been implemented, team-based, defense-assisted group tactics.

The arrival of Iverson obviously had a very serious conflict with his coaching philosophy.

In addition, off the field, Iverson contradicted the coach many times and missed training for no reason. This made Michael Curry half dead.

He even spoke harshly with the management directly. If he does not take some measures against Allen Iverson, then he will directly resign as the head coach.

Although the management did not pay much attention to the cruel words released by Michael Curry, after all, Michael Curry is not one of those rare famous coaches.

But the real headache for the Pistons management is that when Iverson played, the team's record was simply a mess. From the second place in the Eastern Conference at the beginning of the season, it has slipped directly out of the playoffs so far.

During the period when Allen Iverson was absent due to injury, the record of the entire team has obviously improved. Not only has it become smoother on both ends of the offense and defense, it seems to be showing signs of breaking out of the cocoon.

This situation also made the Pistons' management feel in a dilemma. Originally, Billups was used to trade Iverson because he wanted him to lead the team back to the finals.

As a result, instead of making the Pistons better, Iverson's arrival made the Pistons almost miss the playoffs.

At the same time, the entire locker room was made into a mess, which also made the management finally make a certain determination, that is, to trade Allen Iverson.

But since this season is Allen Iverson's contract year, no matter which team wants to trade, it only has the right to use him for one year.

And in this case, what the team needs to take over is still a hot mountain yu.

This simply made Allen Iverson a major plague in the market, almost to the point where everyone shouted and beat him, and everyone walked around.

This situation obviously made the management of the Pistons feel very headache, and it still has not got a satisfactory solution so far.

Before, Michael Curry put him directly on the bench because he was dissatisfied with Allen Iverson's offensive style on the court.

Of course, Allen Iverson was very upset about this matter, and even said the classic saying: "If I am asked to play as a substitute, then I would rather retire directly".

And at the same time, he also refused to continue playing for the Pistons, requiring himself to start the game and resolutely not to play as a substitute.

However, the arms can't twist the thighs, and today's Iverson is no longer in the peak state of the god-blocking and killing god.

So facing this prickly head covered in thorns all over his body, the Pistons put him on the inactive list and deprived him of the right to play.

Well, if you don't plan to play, then I'll simply abandon you. No matter whether you pay or not, you don't even think about playing this season! !

I will drag you to death during your contract year. If you don’t let the team have a good time, then the team won’t make it easy for you either! !

This method of the Pistons management is obviously a lose-lose, neither for Allen Iverson himself nor for the Pistons.

But being able to force the Pistons to make this decision is enough to show how incompatible Iverson is with the current Pistons.

And how much the Pistons management hates Iverson. After all, this guy was exchanged for Billups.

Damn, blood loss! !

After hearing what Stan Van Gundy said, Otis Smith also nodded his head, but after thinking for a while, he still said to him:

"Having said that, Allen seems to fit in very well with today's team, and his ability on the offensive end should also be able to help the team."

Looking at Otis Smith, who was clearly thinking about it, Stan Van Gundy shook his head helplessly, and then fell into a brief silence, as if he was also thinking about this matter.

Compared with the whims of general manager Otis Smith, as the head coach, Stan Van Gundy is obviously better able to see the cause and effect of this matter.

The reason why there are so many loopholes in the Magic this season is because of the lack of independent offensive points on the court.

Whether it's Howard or Su Jiu, neither of them are the kind of real offensive stars.

Although Su Jiu has scored explosive performances many times this season, he is still an all-round player with both offense and defense.

And when Lewis was on the court, the Magic's situation improved slightly. After all, although Lewis's personal scoring ability is not the top in the league, it is enough to solve the urgent needs of the Magic.

But when Lewis was sidelined due to injury, Van Gundy realized how little the Magic's offensive options were.

While Howard and Su Jiu had to fight against the banner of offense, Pietrus and Courtney Lee in the starting lineup simply had no offensive ability.

The same is true for Turkoglu, because he is not an offensive striker, and even his role on the field often overlaps with Su Jiu.

Therefore, Allen Iverson's offensive ability can definitely greatly make up for the shortcomings of the Magic, and perfectly integrate with the Magic to achieve a situation of learning from each other.

In addition, Iverson and the current Pistons management are even more at odds, and even the whole person is directly put into the limbo to act as a spectator.

So if the Magic want to facilitate this deal, it is not difficult.

But it was never Iverson's ability on the court that really worried Van Gundy.

After all, a skinny camel is bigger than a horse. Although Iverson has passed his peak period today, it is by no means ordinary people who can compare.

What really made Van Gundy show resistance was because of Iverson's personal character and the many bad habits off the court.

Because this is simply a thorny head covered with thorns, and it is an unstable locker room bomb. No one knows whether his arrival is good or bad.

Originally, the team already had a Dwight Howard. If Allen Iverson came here, although the team's lineup could indeed be improved, Van Gundy wouldn't be pissed off? !

"By the way, I suddenly wondered if Aaron's personal friendship with Su off the court is considered relatively good?"

"I remember that after the game against the Pistons, these two people praised each other, and they communicated happily on the court. Is there such a thing?"

Just when Van Gundy frowned, thinking about the gains and losses of this matter, after hearing Otis Smith's words, he was also dazed for a moment.

"Well... It seems that there is such a thing, but I don't know the details, but I think the two people hit it off at best."

"Hehe, just hit it off." Hearing Stan Van Gundy's answer, Otis Smith seemed to have a weird smile on his face.

When Van Gundy looked up and saw the smile on Otis Smith's face, he seemed to understand the latter's thoughts in an instant, and the whole person jumped up like a lion whose hair was blown up and shouted at him:

"Hey, I told you, don't mess around with me, this matter is absolutely not allowed!! At least we have to discuss it, this is really a big deal!!"

"Although the arrival of Allen can make the team even more powerful, the team also needs his ability on the offensive end, but you have to know that he can no longer be called a double-edged sword, this is simply a fucking ticking time bomb!!"

After seeing the weird smile on Otis Smith's face, Stan Van Gundy was taken aback.

Even in the middle of the speech, foul language broke out to express his panic.

I'm afraid that this guy will promote this deal without saying a word, then this will definitely be a nightmare for Van Gundy.

"Haha, no, although I do have some interest in this deal, but I'm not too persistent."

"But you should also know that everything I do is to look at this matter from the position of a general manager. If this matter is really helpful to the team, then I think we can indeed have a long-term plan."

"Because this season really may be the closest we are to a championship, if possible, I really don't want to give up any chance."

"Even though, this might be a gamble..."
