When he heard that the team's top four scorers were to be replaced, Hunter became anxious.
Deng Fang explained calmly: "I have a reason!"
"First of all, Crawford has conflicts with the team and should have been sent away long ago. The longer this matter is delayed, the more detrimental it will be to the team."
"Secondly, we selected Curry to train him as the core. Curry plays a point guard with excellent offense and average defense. Ellis and Crawford are also players with the same characteristics, strong in offense and weak in defense.
, since I chose Curry, I have to give up these two people."
"Furthermore, since they are to be cultivated as the core of the team, players who do not accept this decision must be sent away, otherwise it will not be conducive to the unity of the team. Curry is a rookie, and Stephen Jackson is a veteran in the team with a distinctive personality.
The relationship with the coaching staff has never been so harmonious. If Curry is made the boss, he will definitely not accept it, so Jackson will also be sent away."
"Finally, Maggette plays self-centered, plays too many singles, and requires a lot of ball rights. This is not good for the team and is not good for Curry's growth."
"So, the above four people must be sent away, and the sooner the better!"
Deng Fang put his reasons in front of everyone one by one.
Hunter, who was originally angry, calmed down a little.
There is no way, what Deng Fang said is true.
As the team's chief assistant coach, Hunter knows it better than anyone.
All four of Ellis are strong in offense and weak in defense. Except for Crawford, the other three are thorny and difficult to discipline. The coaching staff usually worries about these three.
The problem is, the team can only rely on the four of them to score!
"Are you so sure that Curry can become the team's support? If Curry's development does not go smoothly and you sell these four people, what will happen to the future of the team?" Hunter was still unconvinced and continued to ask.
"I'm sure! Curry is not only a talent, but he will become a superstar in the future and an epoch-making superstar." Deng Fang said categorically.
Someone once said: James forced the center to shoot three-pointers, and Curry made the whole world start shooting three-pointers!
Who started the three-point trend in later generations?
Curry!
How many people in NBA history can lead the trend?
Not many people!
Curry is one of them!
After all, we have traveled back in time. Wouldn’t it be so embarrassing if we didn’t even know this?
"In addition, since something is certain, we must be decisive and not hesitate. The result of fearing the wolf before and the tiger later is that you will get nothing." Deng Fang added.
Everyone knows this truth.
The question is what can these four people get back?
If you can bring back James or Howard, you don't even have to think about it!
If it were anyone else, would you definitely be better than these four people?
General manager Tim nodded and asked: "Well, Mr. Deng, I agree with what you said. The question is what to replace? Do you have a goal? Are they willing to change?"
"Little Prince, Brook Lopez, Jordan." Deng Fang replied.
"How to change it? Will people agree?" Tim continued to ask.
Most transactions in the NBA are fair and require your consent, except for a few idiots.
In fact, even if he is a fool, the transaction is fair from his point of view, and his side may even make a profit!
Generally speaking, the party who initiates the transaction will suffer a small loss. There is nothing you can do about it. After all, you are more willing to trade.
"We can trade Monta Ellis for the little prince Prince." Deng Fang suggested.
"The Pistons' Hamilton and Prince are both functional players. One is a pitcher and the other is a 3D player. Their young point guard Stucky is also unstable and is in urgent need of a scoring master with independent offensive ability, so this
They probably won’t refuse this deal.”
Last season, the Pistons just sent away their championship guard and Finals MVP Chauncey Billups, which means that the Pistons are starting to get younger.
After Chauncey Billups left, the young third-year point guard Stuckey was brought to the forefront by the team.
Starkey is a tall open space player, 1.96 meters tall, with good scoring ability, but not very stable.
As a starting point guard, Stuckey averaged 13.4 points, 4.9 assists and 3.5 rebounds per game last season.
Monta Ellis is 191cm tall and has a strong scoring ability, especially his ability to break through and layup, and his mid-range shooting is also very reliable. He averaged 19 points, 3.7 assists and 4.3 rebounds per game last season.
Whether it is field goal percentage or three-point shooting percentage, Monta Ellis is much higher than Stuckey.
In addition, among the main players of the Pistons, Hamilton has long been a precise shooter, and he is better at mid-range shots.
A classic tactic of the Pistons is Hamilton's off-ball movement and then a catch-and-shoot mid-range shot.
Prince, the little prince, is 2.06 meters tall and weighs 98 kilograms. He is 29 years old this year, which is the golden age of a player.
Prince is a lanky player who has been good at defense since his debut. On the offensive end, he mainly focuses on open shots.
Although his shooting speed is slower than Hamilton's, and his mid-range shot is not as accurate as Hamilton's, the advantage of Prince is that he has a high three-point shooting rate, and due to his relatively tall height, his shots are difficult to block.
Last season, Prince averaged 14.2 points, 3.1 assists and 5.8 rebounds per game.
What's more important is that Prince's three-point shooting percentage reached 39.7% last season.
If Deng Fang traveled back in time 19 years ago, players like Prince would have been very popular, and every team would have valued them.
But in 2009, the league at that time didn't pay that much attention to the three-pointer.
Every team still wants to hit the basket more or rely on mid-range shots to win.
So Prince didn't get the attention he deserved.
In fact, Prince's three-point shooting percentage has been relatively stable since his rookie season, and he is a very good 3D player.
There are three main reasons why Deng Fang fell in love with the little prince Prince.
First of all, Prince is a very good 3D player, good at defense and accurate in three-pointers.
Accurate three-pointers can open up the space on the court. Needless to say, good defense is needed by every team.
After Curry arrives, the team will definitely be built with him as the core. In that case, the team's three-point shooting will definitely be very important.
Deng Fang doesn’t want every team to use box-1 tactics on Curry!
If you want your opponents to avoid double-teaming, the best way is to put a few shooters outside!
In addition, what is particularly valuable about Prince is that with his height and wingspan, he can defend the 4th position without any problem.
Many teams want to use the tactic of one big and four small, because it is more flexible and opens up more space.
However, the key to the one-first-four-small strategy is the fourth position!
You have to be able to defend and shoot!
Therefore, Prince is a very useful player.
Also, even if he switches defenses against a small point guard who is fast, Prince doesn't suffer at all from his speed, and his defensive effect is very good.
In fact, after entering the middle and late stages of his career, Prince has also increased his organizational capabilities and has a high assist-to-turnover ratio.
It's just that Prince's assists are not the traditional breakthrough point assists of a point guard who is known for his speed, so his assist ability is often underestimated.
In short, Prince is a very perfect 3D player.
It's just that due to the times, his importance has not been seen by most teams.
