Chapter 125 Brothers of the Cavaliers, I'm sorry!
After returning to the apartment, Lin Tian declined Howard's invitation to play games together, and asked Howard to rest early, because they had to catch a plane tomorrow morning.
After changing into his pajamas and pajamas, he lay on the bed and started swiping his phone. Unexpectedly, Sistine took the initiative to send him a message again.
Sistine: Lin!Congratulations on winning today's game, you did a great job!Howard is great too! !
Lin Tian: Thank you!How did you do in the exam today?
He also only found out a few days ago that Sistine is a college student in Southern California, and he just had an exam today.
Sistine: Did you pass the exam?
……
After chatting with Sistine for more than half an hour, Lin Tian stopped watching the news and fell asleep directly.
The next morning, shortly after Lin Tian got up, he received a text message from Kupchak.
The Lakers and the Magic completed the transaction. The Lakers sent Randall and Brandon Bass to get Channing Frye!
Lin Tian was quite surprised when he saw this message.
Randle was a short power forward selected by the Lakers with the seventh overall pick in 2014.
Although he is a second-year player, he is basically a rookie. He has started more than half of the games this season and averaged more than 10 points per game.
And as a short power forward, Randall's rebounding ability is actually quite good.
In his limited playing time, he averaged more than 10 rebounds per game.
Such a player can definitely be said to have a promising future!
Using him to exchange Channing Frye, I am afraid many people will think that the Lakers executives have a problem with their brains.
Lin Tian, who has the perspective of God, also knows that Randall can average 20 points per game in the future!
The Lakers sent away such a young player full of potential, obviously determined to go further this season!
As for another player on their side, Brandon Bass, it was entirely to match this deal.
Lin Tian naturally wouldn't feel sorry for this deal.
Channing Frybee Randall is definitely going to suit him!
Because Randall basically has no ability to shoot three-pointers, but Channing Frye's three-point ability is terrifying.
Lin Tian said silently in his heart: Brothers of the Cavaliers, I'm sorry!
Originally, according to the normal historical line, in mid-February, the Cavaliers would exchange two protected first-round picks Gavarejo for Channing Frye.
But now, with Lin Tian's crossing, everything has changed.
His Lakers cut off the Cavaliers. I don't know if the Cavaliers' record will deteriorate significantly in the rest of the season.
Lin Tian didn't even know if the Cavaliers would not be able to enter the finals because of this.
Anyway, the wings of the butterfly have been flapping, and then there will inevitably be a butterfly effect that will affect the fate of many teams.
Randall's fate may also change.
Because in the youth army of the Magic team, his competitive pressure is not small.
Lin Tian clicked on the sports news, and the deal has been announced on social media by Woshen.
Although the influence was not as great as Howard's joining the Lakers, it still caused quite a stir.
ESPN's experts gave the Lakers a "C" rating for the deal, and the Magic an "A-".
Obviously, they all felt that the Lakers suffered a big loss, and the Magic picked up a big leak.
Comments from netizens were also mixed:
"Oh! My God! My rand beans are just being given away! Kupchak will regret it!"
"What the hell is the Lakers management doing? You haven't even given Randle time to grow!"
"Channing Frye, whom the Cavaliers have been thinking about, was cut off by the Lakers! Haha!"
"Channing Frye's style of play is indeed more suitable for matching with Lin Tian! I think this is a good thing for the Lakers."
"This transaction is completed, the Lakers have completely missed the No. [-] pick this season!"
"Don't talk about the No. 5 pick! The Lakers with the top [-] picks have no chance!"
"A space-based power forward is indeed what the Lakers need! I hope Channing Frye can keep his touch after he comes to Los Angeles."
Lin Tian turned off his mobile phone and quickly got up to take a shower.
After breakfast with Howard, they went to the arena to gather with their teammates.
This morning everyone will fly to Detroit together, because their opponent tomorrow is the Detroit Pistons.
Everyone already knew about Randall being traded.
Several veterans didn't pay much attention to this matter.
Nance Jr., Clark said, and Russell were obviously absent-minded.
They know very well that compared to Howard's deal, the current Lakers are really taking a knife from potential players.
Randall performed well this season, but was sent away. I am afraid it will be difficult for them to survive alone.
Especially Russell, since seeing his teammates, he just said hello and hasn't said much.
He is more expensive than last year's No. 40 pick. He has played more than [-] games this season. His performance may not meet the No. [-] expectations, but he is definitely not bad!
His scoring average is 2 points higher than Randall's, and his three-point shooting percentage is also the most accurate in the team.
But he is still flustered!
Two years ago, the Cavaliers dared to trade the No. [-] pick Wiggins who hadn't played a game.
So today, the Lakers have no reason not to trade him!
Howard and Nick Young could feel that something was wrong with the atmosphere, so they said some jokes to mediate the atmosphere.
When the team was preparing to pack up and fly to Detroit, Randle showed up at the arena.
Randall, who is usually taciturn, smiled today.
It turned out that he came to say goodbye to everyone. After all, we played together for so long and formed a deep friendship.
After everyone said some blessings to Randall, they set off for Detroit.
After staying on the plane for nearly 5 hours, they landed in Detroit.
Detroit is the largest city in Michigan, USA.
It is rumored that the law and order in this city is not very good.
This is Lin Tian's first time here. After getting off the plane, his first impression of this city is that it is dilapidated.
Shuttle between the cities on the team bus, he could even see a lot of abandoned houses mixed among high-rise buildings.
Detroit wasn't like that in the last century.
Lin Tian doesn't know much about the economy, but Detroit's team culture is quite deep.
The Detroit Pistons joined the NBA in 1948 and have won three championships so far.
The last time they won a championship was the 2003-2004 season.
That season, the "New Bad Boys Corps" they created personally destroyed the Lakers' dream of a championship.
In the following years, the Pistons seemed to have fallen into endless decline along with Detroit, the Motown.
The Pistons' record this season is still very poor, hovering on the edge of the playoffs.
Their head star is Andre Drummond.
