This point guard is great

Chapter 88

Klaus has been struggling lately.

After Artest beat Mahon, Klaus had already put him on the shelves and even actively contacted the outside world for sales. Several team uniforms also expressed their interest.

But now that the deal is about to be negotiated, everything has turned around.

Artest recently looks like he wants to reform himself. The team is low-key and small, and the society actively responds to public welfare. He even blatantly defended Mahon in an interview with Sports Illustrated. Anyway, don’t care about the scolding outside. Now the Bulls management is very Buddhist.

If Artest had been an asshole, he would have traded at a similar price, but his sudden change...it's hard to do.

Ron Artest played three games after being suspended, averaging 20 points, 5 rebounds and 1.7 blocks per game. This is a proper top-level data, and on the offensive and defensive lines, this guy's defensive talent is amazing. He can often make the opponent cry.

Now the paper data is most interesting to Artest is Baomidi.

They originally wanted to exchange Jaylen Rose for Artest, Moser and Watson or Greg Anthony, three for one, watching the Bulls bleed a bit, but in fact Jaylen Rose is worth the price now, he is already a quasi-All-Star player.

In the current situation of the Bulls, he is the star when he comes.

Originally, the transaction had reached the process, but Artest's sudden reformation and coach Wright's endorsement caused the Bulls to hesitate.

This hesitation, good guy, Artest actually raised his price.

After three games, Baomidi was willing to trade Jaylen Rose for Artest alone.

The eyes of the Bulls uniform team were all blue, and they almost agreed on the spot.

However, Krause called a halt to the transaction.

Jaylen Rose also wants it, and he is also greedy, but Artest is performing very well now, and his relationship with Mahon and his tactics are very good. They even often practice together. It seems that Artest has really reformed himself.

The Bulls are currently short of leading stars. Except for Artest and Watson, the other main players average around 10 points per game. If Jaylen Rose comes and there is no Artest, who is the boss of the team is also a problem.

After three days of hesitation, the price of Baomidi actually increased again.

They are willing to trade Jaylen Rose and Jonathan Bender for one, and trade Artest, even depending on the meaning, plus a second-round pick next year, maybe they are also happy.

Klaus took a breath, is Baomi going to bleed?
Feeling his conscience, Klaus almost agreed, but after thinking about it calmly, there must be evildoers when things go wrong. A quasi-all-star swingman who can score 25+ per game, and now he jumped off the building and dealt with it.
Cheap is not good quality.

The circle is so big, there is always a source of news when you inquire.

Baomidi was willing to sell Jaylen Rose at a low price. According to gossip, it turned out that it was because he and Thomas had already broken up, and even fought several times, and it seemed that the Pacers would split if they did not trade.

The Michigan Five Tigers actually have a good reputation in the league, but people change. Klaus has witnessed Jordan becoming a legend, and he has also seen too many talented young people fall on this road. It is not injuries or enemies that defeat them, but themselves. Star disease destroys a genius. This thing is very professional.

When Klaus was thinking about whether to buy Jaylen Rose at a low price, the Bulls ushered in their first three consecutive knees.

Kings, Bucks, Nets, the Bulls lost every game in three games, and Ma Hong seemed to have really hit the rookie wall. In these games, he averaged only 4 assists per game, scoring less than 5 points, and no rebounds at all.

Krause's phone calls have been very busy recently, because of the bull's continuous kneeling, many teams have come up to seek deals like sharks smelling blood.

Klaus replied one by one, expressing very politely, but refused all of them.

The Magic and the Hornets want Mahon. Yes, they are the Hornets who claim that they have been calling without dealing with Mahon. They have been calling, and their interest in Mahon is more exaggerated than the Magic.

Baomidi, the Knicks, and the Heat want Artest, but apart from Jaylen Rose of Baomidi, the Heat and the Knicks are obviously insincere, especially the Heat, who came here for nothing.

The Lakers and the Nuggets are very interested in Watson. Watson's price increase is exaggerated, and now the Nuggets are already going to exchange for a mid-level star plus a second-round pick.

To be honest, if these three transactions were before Mahon came to the Bulls, Klaus would have done them, because each one was profitable and would add to the Bulls’ market value, but now they have Mahon, and everyone has dreams. Jordan wants to end his career with a 40-year-old FMVP, and Klaus also wants the Bulls to rebuild their dynasty.

Therefore, it is impossible for Mahon to sell.

Losing a few games is too common for a veteran NBA bastard like Klaus. He has experienced 10 knees. Basketball can be lost, but Mahon's label is not for sale now. Unless Kobe McGrady is used, Klaus is absolutely impossible to let go.

Mahon's ball injury risk is high, but Krause is willing to bet on a miracle.

Pick up the few lists in your hand, remove Mahon, and there are Artest, Watson, Kevin Ollie and their first-round picks.

After thinking twice, Klaus put Artest down.

The Bulls have not played well in recent games. Some fans even threw popcorn at Mahon at home. Surprisingly, it was Artest who stood up in front of Mahon and almost quarreled with the audience. Of course, the audience was taken away from the stadium, and Artest also suffered a game suspension.

But this incident made Klaus feel that Artest really has a good relationship with Mahon. A reliable combination is the foundation of the team's strength, just like Jordan and Pippen once.

On November 11st, the Bulls went to New York to play against the Knicks. The game was very intense. The Knicks are not a strong team, but they are indeed a very unique sunset red team. Many big players squatted in the Knicks with pension contracts. Their tactical coordination is not good, but their singles ability is extremely good.

In the whole game, the Knicks entered the infinite singles and almost wiped out the Bulls. Fortunately, at the last moment, Watson made frequent shots and hit 3 consecutive 2-pointers, killing the Knicks!
After the game, Watson was excited to be interviewed by the local media in New York, when he suddenly found out...he had been traded.

This trade was caught off guard, and the Bulls who hadn't had time to celebrate fell into a sluggish state. After all, Watson has played really well recently.

This is a three-party transaction.

The Bulls handed over the 2002 first-round pick, the team's sixth man Watson and Eddie Robinson

Baomidi handed over star Jaylen Rose

Heat surrender Roderick Land, Don Hamilton plus second-round pick

Harvest
Bulls acquire Jalen Rose plus Don Hamilton

Baomidi gets the Bulls' 2002 first-round pick, the Heat's second-round pick, Watson, Roderickland
Heat get Eddie Robinson

When this deal came out, the Bulls made a small profit, the Heat made a blood profit, and Baomidi made it difficult to see through, because Jaylen Rose's worth is far more than that, but no matter what, Jaylen Rose has come to Chicago anyway.

After defeating the Knicks and making a trade, the Bulls recovered somewhat. When they went to Miami at the end of November, they easily overcame the Heat, which made a lot of money in the trade, and won two games.

Back in Chicago in early December, Mahon met Jaylen Rose, a five-legged player whose height and arms could be called McGrady, and Mahon was shocked when he came.
