Chapter 811 Fighting for Iverson

An hour later, Colangelo got a call from Billy King.

"What?"

He was very excited to hear that Iverson intends to join the Suns.

If you introduce Iverson, you will definitely have to pay a luxury tax, but do the Suns have no money now?

"Please give me a moment to think about it."

He hung up and called Frank.

Frank's status in the Suns is not low now. The choice of the main point guard must be discussed with him.

Moreover, the value of Iverson's transaction is very high, and the team needs to pay a lot, and the original lineup must be disrupted. Without Frank's cooperation, it will not work.

After Frank received the call, he immediately began to think about the lineup.

The number one position of the Suns is a weakness. If there is Iverson, the number one position will become the number one with the strongest offensive firepower in the league, which is very tempting to him.

But he then began to consider the disadvantages after the introduction of Iverson.

There must be disadvantages for Iverson joining the team. The defense is a black hole, and the three-pointer is not good.

When he was actually in Marbury, his breakthroughs were reduced a lot, because Li Ba was in the paint, and Li Ba's defense in the paint was the foundation of the Suns, which was the most important.

Then, what would the Suns exchange for Iverson? A salary of 17 million, can you exchange Marion? That's absolutely impossible. The Suns are lacking insiders. Marion has been on the top for three seasons, and he has to continue to go on the top.

The salaries of others are not high, like Tony Allen, Barbosa, and Lagabel, at least four or five people can match Iverson's salary, so the Suns are not dismantling the lineup, but directly losing half of the ball Team.

"Jerry, if you want Iverson, you might as well let Stephen come back."

After much consideration, he called Colangelo.

Colangelo also came to his senses, yes, Marbury came back, and he could integrate into the team directly, without a day's adaptation time, and there was no locker room problem.

He began to consider the possibility of trading Iverson and then trading Marbury with the Grizzlies, maybe he would make some money.

Iverson was disappointed when he got a call from Billy King that the trade was rejected.

Now only the Nuggets are left, and it is good to be able to cooperate with Anthony.

As for the Suns, they really began to consider the possibility of trading Marbury.

Colangelo sent an offer to the Grizzlies, Lagabel + Barbosa + Antonio McDyess + Rodriguez, plus next year's first-round pick, plus two fringe people Do extra.

But the Grizzlies now only intend to strengthen through trades, so they directly rejected the offer after receiving it.

Gasol and Marbury actually cooperate well. The former can be pulled out, and the latter has room to rush in. They are just a match, and with a suitable lineup, the competitiveness is not weak.

Without getting Marbury back, Colangelo will not be reinforcing at the No. 1 position for the time being.

Barbosa is still available. He wants to train the rookie with big hands this season and see how it goes.

In the past few seasons, the Suns have the habit of cultivating newcomers.

From Marion to Joe Johnson, to Stoudemire and the Hammers, as well as Barbosa, Tony Allen, David Lee, etc., the effect is good and the benefits are great.

It was these rookies who won the two championships under the leadership of rookie Wang Tiehammer.

The deal between the Suns and the Philadelphia Digital Team was not reached, but the news of Iverson's entry into Liberty City spread throughout the league.

Of course, this is the news released by the digital team itself.

Subsequently, Iverson became the biggest fish in the free market, and many teams rushed to swallow him.

"Unfortunately, we really can't eat any more." After getting the news, the Lakers old Buss said regretfully.

"The league won't allow it anymore." Phil Jackson laughed.

The old Buss nodded. If the current lineup really swallowed Iverson again, it would be too scary. Not to mention that the league would not allow it, other teams would not allow one to dominate the situation.

The league agreed to the super big deal this time, and he also understands that there are reasons for restricting the Suns.

Perhaps to put it more clearly, in the absence of restricting the Hammer through rules, the goal of restricting the Hammer is achieved by reinforcing teams such as the Lakers, so as to find a balance.

The Heat and the Mavericks are in the same situation. The luxury tax is too much, and no matter how good the revenue is, it can't support it.

The first offer to the digital team was the Grizzlies.

That gives Eddie Jones, Lorenzen White, plus two other role players.

Unfortunately, the deal was rejected.

The second team was the Clippers, who took out Maggette, Livingston, and Dunleavy, but were rejected.

The third team was the Warriors, who took out Baron Davis, Biedrins, and future draft picks. This time the team didn't reject it, but was rejected by Iverson. He didn't want to go to the Warriors at all.

The fourth team, the Kings, offered Mike Bibby and Kenny Thomas plus future picks and was rejected.

The fifth team was the Celtics, who took out a bunch of chips such as Jefferson, Gomez, and Green, and let the digital team choose, but unfortunately they were still rejected.

The sixth team is the Bulls, who did not hesitate to take out the core of the team, Ben Gordon + PJ Brown + Duhon, but was ruthlessly rejected.

In the end, the Nuggets gave Andre Miller + Joe Smith + two first-round picks in 2007, and the transaction was successful.

"From now on, our team will enter the ranks of the championship."

After the deal was announced, Carmelo Anthony immediately approached the media and expressed his excitement.

Subsequently, the Philadelphia digital team sent Chris Webber to the Pistons, completely dismantling the original lineup. Since then, Philadelphia has fallen into a cycle of rebuilding and rebuilding repeatedly until Joel Embiid is selected in the future in 2014. , the reconstruction is considered complete, and the whole process took 9 years.

"I don't know what the management is doing?" LeBron James muttered with some complaints after completing the fly-catching training.

Iverson joined the Nuggets and saw that his friend Anthony had a powerful helper, which stimulated him again.

As time went on, Li Ba's boxing match got closer and closer.

On July 10, Li Ba began to reduce the amount of training and entered the final preparation.

On the 14th, the amount of training suddenly increased, and the body began to be stimulated, allowing the body to enter the state of boxing.

On the 15th, it's time for the boxing match.

In the past few days, all the airports in Las Vegas have been parked with private jets, as many as hundreds of them, all of them are rich people who came to watch the boxing match.

As for the stars in the entertainment circle, you can meet some in any hotel.

With the end of the NBA Finals, the 2006 World Cup also ended a few days ago. Now, this boxing match has become the most popular sports event during this period, with extremely large influence.
