Chapter 174 The Playoff Situation in the Crazy West!
The 76ers want to trade Iverson, which has never been a secret in the NBA.
It's no secret that the conflict between Iverson and the 76ers is irreconcilable and irreparable.
As early as this summer, Iverson was put on the shelves by the 76ers.
It's just that the focus of the entire league at that time was on the five-party deal with Yeth as the core.
Therefore, there is not so much news about Iverson being put on the shelves by the 76ers, but it still arouses the onlookers and mad rush of many teams in the league.
Iverson, this is one of the biggest stars in the league!
This kind of player enters the market, and it is not appropriate not to grab it. For most teams, as long as they grab it, they will make money.
It's just that Iverson was unwilling to leave at that time, and the 76ers did not dare to bear the tremendous pressure brought about by trading Iverson in the end.
In the end, Iverson and the 76ers summed it up, let's fight for another season and see!
If the record of the 76ers in the new season is not bad, the couple will make do with it.
But unfortunately, the record of the 76ers in the new season is extremely bad.
Both Iverson and the 76ers underestimated the impact of the summer's trade events on the entire team.
The boss of the team was put on the shelf, even if he stayed in the end, what does this make other players think
If the 76ers are strong, it's okay to say, maybe they can slow down.
But the strength of the 76ers is not strong, and there is a problem with morale. It would be really strange if this record can be good.
If possible, Iverson does not want to leave the 76ers, but the current situation of the team makes him have to leave.
The 76ers want to rebuild, either he goes or someone else goes.
In the end, the 76ers chose Iverson to go.
Iverson himself chose to leave.
"A bargaining chip like the Nuggets can be traded to Iverson"
Nuggets pay Andre Miller, Joe Smith,
The Nuggets first-round pick protected by the No. 1 pick in 2007 and the Mavericks' first-round pick in 2007 were traded for Iverson and Iwan McFarlin.
In the eyes of the Sonics players, this chip is similar to the 76ers giving Iverson for nothing.
When Andre Miller won the assists title five years ago, his trade value would be great, but now, Miller is 30 years old.
Miller is a high-quality starter, at best, a quasi-All-Star, and Joe Smith's most valuable right now may be his expiring contract.
As for the two 2007 first-round picks of the Nuggets and Mavericks, they will definitely not be worth much based on the records of the Nuggets and Mavericks.
"If I had known that Iverson was so cheap, we could try it with the Supersonics!"
"Let's forget it, Iverson won't come."
Iverson's going to the Nuggets should be a bargaining chip for other teams not to give the 76ers enough heart.
The 76ers took advantage of the opportunity to borrow flowers and offer Buddhas to thank Iverson for his contributions over the years, and sent Iverson to the Nuggets to compete for the championship.
This allows the 76ers management to receive less criticism.
With Iverson's influence in Philadelphia, the 76ers dare to send Iverson to Toronto or Minnesota. Unless they can exchange for chips that can directly complete the rebuilding level, they will definitely be sprayed to death.
"The Nuggets are about to take off!"
After the shock, none of the Sonics players in the Ohio State training facility looked very good.
The battle for the playoffs in the Western Conference this season has been heated up. Now that the Nuggets have added Iverson, this makes it impossible for the Supersonics to play.
The current record of the Sonics is 17 wins and 8 losses, ranking sixth in the Western Conference.
The Houston Rockets rank first in the West with 23 wins and 3 losses.
The Dallas Mavericks are second in the West with 20 wins and 6 losses.
The Phoenix Suns rank third in the West with 19 wins and 6 losses.
The Utah Jazz are fourth in the Western Conference with 19 wins and 8 losses.
The San Antonio Spurs are fifth in the West with 20 wins and 7 losses.
The Sonics have a good record now, but it is difficult to compete with these five teams for a top position.
No matter where the Supersonics ranked before, the goal has always been to enter the playoffs.
The main opponents of the Sonics in the playoffs are the Lakers ranked seventh in the Western Conference with a record of 18 wins and 9 losses, the Denver Nuggets with a record of 16 wins and 9 losses in the eighth Western Conference, and the Golden State Warriors with a record of 14 wins and 12 losses in ninth.
Of course, the Clippers, who are 10th in the West, and the Hornets, who are 11th in the West, are also rivals.
It can be said that the battle for the Western Conference playoffs this season has reached the point of frenzy.
Now that the Nuggets have lost so little, it is almost for nothing that Iverson has been added, and the strength of the Nuggets will be greatly increased.
In addition to the Rockets, Mavericks, Suns, Jazz and Spurs booking the top five, the Nuggets can also be said to have booked the top six.
The remaining seventh and eighth positions will be the Supersonics, the Lakers, the Warriors, and the Clippers Hornets. Five teams will compete.
With the hard power of the Supersonics, even if they can stand out among five teams and enter the playoffs, there is a high probability that they will be eighth in the West.
The reason why the Lakers' record is not as good as the Supersonics is because the Lakers have played too many strong teams before.
The Sonics haven't met the Rockets, Suns and Mavericks this season.
As for the Lakers, they have already beaten these strong teams over and over again!
Iverson's deal, the biggest injury is the Supersonics.
Now the SuperSonics will compete with the Warriors, Clippers and Hornets for the eighth place in the Western Conference.
The national media was very interested in whether Yees could lead the team to the playoffs.
That interest intensified after the Iverson deal was completed.
It should be said that a large part of the reason why Iverson's trade to the Nuggets has caused such a big sensation is that the new Nuggets have greatly reduced the chances of Yess and the Supersonics entering the playoffs.
Sonics, Warriors, Clippers and Hornets.
The Sonics have the best record right now.
The Warriors and Clippers are the strongest.
The Hornets are now waiting for David West's comeback. Paul needs to lead the team to the edge of the playoffs. After David West comes back, the Hornets can take off.
Of the four teams, the Sonics' competitiveness is the weakest.
It doesn't matter if the competitiveness is the weakest, and the future schedule is also the worst.
"While the fans of the Denver Nuggets are excited, yes's team ushered in the challenge of hell difficulty!"
"Yes is the most unlucky rookie in history. The challenges and difficulties he faced during his rookie period are incredible and chilling!"
"And the culprit for all this is the Toronto Raptors. They took Ray Allen and Lewis away from yes, and left yes with the weakest team in history!"
"With yes, the Supersonics of Ray Allen and Lewis, they could have competed for the NBA championship, instead of working hard for the eighth place in the Western Conference like now!"
fight for the championship
Toronto Raptors general manager office, Raptors general manager Colangelo smiled and put down the newspaper in his hand.
"It's a pity that Iverson couldn't be robbed..."
Not taking advantage made Colangelo feel that he was at a disadvantage.
yes's crazy performance this season made him feel a little bit of regret sometimes.
but……
"I broke up a championship team!"
Colangelo feels that yes and the Supersonic management must be more regretful now!
This is his merit!
He is very satisfied with the current situation of the Raptors.
A team that was about to collapse after being bombarded by Kobe with 81 points was brought to second place in the Eastern Conference.
The future of the Raptors is bright!
"I'm closer to the championship than yes!"
then what do i regret
ridiculous!
yes, let's advance to the playoffs!
