Chapter 234 Finally Got Traded
The deal about Xie Kai didn't happen so quickly. Although there were many teams making offers, and some teams' offers were already very sincere, the Kings also had a big appetite.Because they didn't gain much in the free market, they wanted to slap Xie Kai's deal for a while.But those teams who want to get Xie Kai are not stupid, everyone is a professional manager, who is more stupid than the other!
So the deal about Xie Kai has been delayed, and it seems that there will be no results for a while.The teams that are interested in Xie Kai are mainly those playoff teams. In order to have a better record in the new season, they need to accumulate more talents.Xie Kai has the potential + immediate combat power, and the contract is small, the luxury tax pressure is small, which can increase the team's upper limit.
Of course, bad teams like the Knicks and Wizards also want to be thanked.The former did not get James this summer. They have excellent salary space and have the opportunity to offer big contracts to stars in the future. Xie Kai, a yellow man with great potential to become an All-Star player, has potential and popularity, and is very suitable for the big city of New York. .
It's just that the Knicks are unwilling to give away their young assets, and the Kings don't want those bad assets, so they have no advantage in the deal about Xie Kai.
In the United States, there are almost daily rumors about Xie Kai's trade.Kings fans lamented the stupidity of the team's management after the team failed to get James and other big fish.If it wasn't for the management to trade Xie Kai, otherwise, with Xie Kai and Evans, two 20+ young people, maybe Big Fish would have chosen them.
Imagining that he could have risen instantly and missed the big fish, this made Kings fans heartbroken.Is the team going to continue to be bad?When is this a head?
The Kings wanted a first-round pick in Xie Kai's deal, and it was an unprotected first-round pick. They tended to trade with bad teams because the first-round picks of bad teams are very valuable!
But the problem is that bad teams are also pointing at the first-round picks to scratch the referees. If they want to be bad, it's good to thank them, but if they want to bleed, they will fall into hesitation.
In China, the final roster for this year's Turkish Men's Basketball World Championships will be released soon. The specific list is as follows: Wang Zhizhi, Yi Jianlian, Xie Kai, Sun Yue, Wang Shipeng, Zhou Peng, Ding Jinhui, Zhang Zhaoxu, Su Wei, Guo Ailun, Yu Shulong.The head coach is Deng Huade.
The men's basketball team's starting small forward Zhu Fangyu will miss this men's basketball world championship due to injury.As for the Chinese men's basketball team participating in this World Championships, the selection of Guo Ailun, who is under 20 years old, surprised many fans.But as a team aiming at the Olympics, it is also necessary to train young people in the competition. It is normal for the old and new to change, and young people will not be able to take over in the future if they do not exercise.
Although the above does not have too clear requirements for the record of this World Championships, the head coach Deng Huade is also under pressure.He naturally doesn't want to lead the Chinese men's basketball team with active NBA players like Yi Jianlian and Xie Kai, who can't even break through the group stage.
This year's Men's Basketball World Championships, the No.1 Chinese men's basketball team that will advance to the Asian Championships will be in Group C.The teams in the same group include the hosts Turkey, Greece, Russia, Côte d'Ivoire and Puerto Rico.
According to the rules of the Men's Basketball World Championships, the top 4 teams in the group stage will advance to the top 16 and usher in the knockout stage.The Men's Basketball World Championships are held every four years. So far, the best result of the Chinese men's basketball team in the Men's Basketball World Championships is the 4th place in 1994.In the last Men's Basketball World Championships (8th), the Chinese men's basketball team finally achieved the 16th place.
Chinese domestic media spoke highly of Yao Ming's absence and Xie Kai's "temporary firefighting". For this reason, CCTV also produced a special program, with Xie Kai returning to China to join the men's basketball team as the theme, to promote patriotic education, publicize The family spirit of Chinese and overseas Chinese all over the world.
This program made Xie Kai shine, and made Zhou Jing's family very happy.And Chen Guixiang, who is far away in Los Angeles, USA, specially downloaded this video on the Internet, and watched it over and over again, with tears in her eyes every time.
Xie Kai was training in China, and gradually, he forgot about his trade.
Agent Thaddeus Faucher revealed to Xie Kai from time to time that he had grasped the transaction situation, but the NBA transaction was like this, if it was not formally completed, even if it reached the substantive stage, it was very likely that there would be no results.
In the end, Xie Kai didn't bother with it anymore, whatever he wanted, even if I was traded to a bad team like the Knicks, it wouldn't matter, anyway, the initiative is not in my own hands.Moreover, they are all bad teams, how much better is the King than the Knicks?
By the end of July, there was no result regarding Xie Kai's deal.However, sometimes transactions do happen inadvertently, and the previous transaction favorite team may not be the target of the final transaction.
At 8 o'clock in the morning on August 1st, Xie Kai was sleeping when he was woken up by a sudden phone ringing...
Xie Kai grabbed his phone and saw that the caller was his agent Thaddeus Faucher. He was shocked. He knew that the transaction about himself might finally come to an end.
Which team are you going to?Xie Kai has the inexplicable excitement that he had when he participated in the draft. He always looks a little excited and nervous about unknown things.
At this time, Xie Kai's mind was fully awake, he tried to keep himself calm, and then connected the phone.
"Sir, it's me, Thaddeus!" Thaddeus Faucher's robot-like calm voice came from the other end of the phone.
"Well——" Xie Kai was waiting for Thaddeus Faucher to inform him of the deal.
Thaddeus Fucher said simply and directly: "Sir, you have been traded to the Memphis Grizzlies!"
"Memphis Grizzlies?" What appeared in Xie Kai's mind was nothing but the scene when he was drafted two years ago.When he was in Madison Square Garden in New York, when he was selected with the 28th overall pick in the first round, when he shook hands with NBA Commissioner David Stern, he was wearing the Grizzlies team cap.
Unexpectedly, after two years, I would return there again!
I don't know if this is fate...
Xie Kai was selected by the Grizzlies two years ago, and was soon traded to the Rockets, and the one who traded himself was his teammate at the University of Kansas-Darrell Arthur.
"Why did the Grizzlies trade me back after two years? Don't the Grizzlies have the 'Best Show' OJ Mayo?" Xie Kai had many questions in his heart.
"Please tell me the details of the transaction, Thaddeus!" Xie Kai was still calm.
"Okay, sir. The Kings traded you to the Grizzlies' OJ Mayo and this year's No. 12 rookie in the first round, Xavier Henry!" Thaddeus Fucher answered truthfully.
