"You can't guard against me~~" Chen Xi patted JB's butt with a smile, turned around and walked towards the Three-Pointer line.
After walking outside the line, he made a naughty gesture of pulling the lever.
"Do you like my falling jumper?"
"Come again!" Butler stuffed the ball back into Chen Xi's arms with a dark face.
"As you wish."
Chen Xi shrugged and made Triple Threat's gesture again.
After dropping the ball, quickly start the breakthrough, take two steps and immediately catch up with the quick Step-back, Floating Ball Hesitation Bait Buddha to raise the center of gravity of Butler, and then Push Dribble Change of Direction again, starting the second breakthrough toward the other side.
With a set of smooth movements, he successfully passed JB and reached the basket. With an easy Finger Roll, he scored the ball.
Butler was a little surprised. He was almost pulled out of balance by Push Dribble Change of Direction for the second time.
This is something we haven't encountered in a long time.
"You've made progress again...Chris."
"Hey, don't rush to praise me, there are still many things you haven't seen."
After a dozen or so back and forth.
Chen Xi Someone won 21 to 13 and easily won this duel.
"It's amazing. Your progress seems to have never slowed down." Butler sat on the ground with some emotion.
"I'm trying to be better."
After a minute of silence, Butler spoke again.
"I applied for a transaction."
"... I can probably understand."
"There was a conflict between my demands and the team's, and I couldn't find a win-win solution for the time being, so I simply chose to break up."
"..."
"Sam said that he is looking for a suitable home for me, so when we meet on the court in the future, we will be our opponents."
"Business is just business, but we are brothers and comrades-in-arms. I will never forget the time we fought side by side."
"Hahahaha, that's best. I've already talked with Russell. I came to you today because I want to train with you for another day. After all, this is our biggest common ground."
"Then what are you waiting for? Let's go."
Chen Xi stood up with a smile, then stretched out his right hand to Butler and pulled him up.
The two continued back to the court side by side.
In the final analysis, he is just a player. He doesn't have much ability. He can't change the management's thinking, nor can he change Butler's thinking.
If we insist on saying that the main driving force for the reality of leaving the team is actually Butler himself.
He is an ambitious man, and now NBA Championship has been obtained.
If he continues to stay at Thunder, he will not be able to go any further.
mvp, fvmp, team Leader, none of these Thunder can be given to him.
So he simply stopped and found another way.
July 28.
A blockbuster transaction occurred that shocked League.
Thunder sends Jimmy·Butler, Domantas·Sabonis and Malik·Monk, And the First Round pick, which was protected by the top five picks in 20 years, was obtained from Nuggets, and their core was obtained from Pelicans Team, Anthony·Davis.
The media all exclaimed and felt incredible about this.
Crazy!! Thunder is studded!
They sent away the team's defensive core Jimmy·Butler, and also picked up Starting Lineup center Little Sabonis who was making rapid progress and had already begun to see All-Star's potential, just for that man.
Thunder Management's courage is amazing!
Of course, Brow is completely worth the price, and even so, Pelicans feels a bit of a loss.
Last year's Pelicans had a lineup of Cousins, Holiday, and Rondo. It could have gone further with Playoffs, but Cousins The reimbursement disrupted their plan, and Playoffs bumped into Golden State Warriors at First Round, which directly led to Pelicans being swept out by First Round again.
The poor record in consecutive years, coupled with Pelicans Off-season's transaction, completely made Davis feel chilled.
Cousins ruptured his Achilles tendon last season and was retired for the season. What the management did was really disturbing.
Then when Off-season arrived, they let go of Rondo and Cousins one after another. These two alumni of Davis in Kentucky became the last straw that broke the loyalty of Brow.
Just when Brow had a conflict with the management, the two parties were reaching a deadlock in negotiations.
Presti over there received the message.
So Presti, who was trying to communicate with Pacers and wanted to get involved in Paul·George, immediately put down what he was doing and turned around to find Pelicans.
Sorry PG, you are a good person...
So after close communication and negotiation, the deal was finally reached.
Poor PG was stabbed in the back again...
This transaction has fulfilled the wish of both Pelicans Thunder and even Butler Brow.
Butler wants to leave, he wants the status of the team and a salary that matches his strength.
Brow, on the other hand, is eager to win and go further in Playoffs. At the same time, his relationship with Chen Xi is also very good. Thunder is the defending champion. Coming to Thunder is definitely the best ending for him.
But George and Little Sabonis are more miserable.
The deal fell through, and PG needed to find a new owner.
Little Sabonis was an unforeseen disaster. He never expected that as a conscientious hero of the championship, his salary was not high, he was also very honest in the team, and he had a good relationship with Westbrook Chen Xi, but he would be sent away in the end.
There is no way, there will always be victims in the transaction, Butler alone cannot satisfy Pelicans's appetite, Davis is the cornerstone of their team after all.
Even everyone who knows the industry knows how important Butler was to Thunder last season. He supported the perimeter defense system that the team relies on most for survival.
But in the final analysis, compared with the value of Brow, the weight is still not enough.
Butler's current salary is not high, and it is a contract that is about to expire. For Pelicans, it is a lottery. If his performance next season is good enough, he can support the team With Leader's identity, they naturally don't mind offering a maximum salary. If it's not satisfactory, then the contract expires and Butler returns to free agency, and Pelicans can directly free up tens of millions of salary space.
This is his greatest trade value, plus the rising star, Sabonis and a First Round sign.
The chips given by Thunder are indeed exciting.
Davis then submitted a transaction application, and Pelicans followed suit and agreed to the transaction.
Following this shocking transaction, Thunder did not stop and the transaction continued.
On July 30, Thunder and Clippers reached a transaction.
