Poole traded for Paul, and the Warriors made an indescribable trade

As soon as he woke up, he was struck by lightning, and the old cannon went to the warriors.

The specific transaction plan is:

Poole + 2030 First Round (1-20 picks) + 27 Second Round + Baldwin + Rawlings = Paul + 57 pick 23 (selected)

A deal that is enough to silence Cannon Secret and Brave Mi, both sides used to regard each other as enemies who did not share the sky. Paul went around in circles and kept holding high the banner of resistance, while Yongmi continued to enjoy success while doing nothing to taunt 58 Obscurity. In the past, whether it was brave or cannon, I heard that the other party had some misfortune that most of them wanted to beat the gong and drum to add vegetables at noon, but now they actually put these two together?

Violation of harmony, highlighting a violation of harmony, like Lin Daiyu upside down weeping willows, more like Lu Zhi buried flowers with tears.

If you think about it, you have no idea what the Warriors management is trying to do. You said that if you want to strengthen the squad and improve competitiveness, then you have to target to strengthen the most missing positions, supplement the flanks and make up the interior, and then go to get a 38-year-old defender to do what? Moreover, it is still so short, given that the Warriors resolutely chose another guard with the 19th pick, should Dunleavey really want to play Snow White;

You say that the contradiction is irreconcilable and must be let go of Poole, so why hang Paul on this tree? Asking more, communicating and discussing more is better than patting your head. There is no shortage of teams in the league that need dual guards, typical of which is the Magic. Since 20 years, he has been selected as a point guard almost every year, from Cole Anthony to Suggs, and this year he has selected a high point guard Anthony Black, which shows that the No. 1 candidate is never very satisfied. Moreover, the Magic No. 2 position is also short of people, so I had to go around catching Zhuang Ding for cameos. Guess if such a team without Liao Huachong in the backcourt will be interested in a defender who has proven himself on the big stage and played something in the starter-up? No matter how bad it is, it is always okay after the initial exchange.

The plan is now made up, Poole for Isaac + Harris, maybe even the draft pick does not have to come out. Both are also contract year players, which is equivalent to splitting a large expiring contract into two relatively small expiring contracts for subsequent operation.

Note that splitting contracts with large expirations is for potential tax savings. The calculation of the luxury tax is judged by the arbitration committee after each season's regular season play, in short, through the mid-term trades, some super-tax teams can successfully save or even avoid taxes through player transactions. Therefore, it is always more convenient to deal with smaller expiring contracts than large expiring contracts when it is perceived that the results are not as good as expected. After all, as a manager, you always have to do something for the boss, either to save some money for the boss, or to continue to compete for the championship for the boss, now it is better to get Paul and block the first route directly. As for the second route, do you really believe that if Paul enters the Braves, the Warriors will be able to regain the championship?

Fighting for the championship aside, how to specifically arrange the position on the field also gave Cole a problem. Three defenders at the same time, the young master of the hundred-year-old mountain in the backfield shouted that it was difficult to top; Put the old cannon on the bench, Paul has never played as a substitute in his life, and has started all 1214 games in his career. As strong as the old man's career 1421 and played two games as a substitute, he can't just enter the Warriors and order the old cannon to obey the team's arrangement. This also loses face, don't forget that the character of the old gun is always extremely strong and self-respecting, and the sentence "to focus on the overall situation" may not be easily persuaded.

Paul, who is 38 years old, has seen a steady decline in regular-season attendance over the past two years, with 61 games in '21-22 and 55 in '22-23. Compared with the decline in attendance, nothing is more frightening than Paul has played the role of a playoff war criminal for the past two seasons. Was the old cannon who was killed by the lone ranger last year and passed his 37th birthday to blame? This year is even more heavyweight, G2 knocked down half of the nest, and then sat on the sidelines in a suit...

If there is any positive significance, it may be that the experience of the old guns still exists, and they can help and accelerate the growth of young people? However, this also belongs to the old yellow calendar. It was not false to cultivate Alexander in the 19-20 season, and there was still oil in the old gun tank at that time. Now that four years have passed in a flash, isn't it a little bit to take the sword of the previous dynasty and behead the officials of this dynasty... If nothing else, the old gunner taught him for three years, what does the man who is the capital of the champion look like now?

Oh yes, Curry in ball mode is much more efficient than Curry in off-ball mode, even if there is a kicker on the team, his usage rate has been higher than 30 for the past 6 seasons. Therefore, if Paul and Curry compete with the kicking egg, someone must make a sacrifice to give up the ball; If Paul is asked to play as a substitute, it will return to the previous topic, how to convince Paul, who has never played a substitute game in his career, to "focus on the big picture"?

Many things are ideal, and in practice, you will find that there are many problems. So these issues, the Warriors, management and even the coaching staff must think clearly, and don't break up what "the management coaching staff is not as smart as your keyboard man", if you are really smart, you will not mass-produce a bunch of garbage contracts every year.

It's Poole who is quite hi, go to a completely rebuilding team, the ball can be brushed when you want, and the personal data is estimated to be quite beautiful. There are sets of data that can be used as a reference:

In the 21-22 season, Poole played in 51 games, averaging 20.8 points, 3.7 rebounds and 4.2 assists per game, shooting 43.8% from the field; In the 22-23 season, Poole started 43 games, averaging 24.6 points, 3.1 rebounds and 4.6 assists per game.

In the new unit and new environment, there will no longer be anyone who crosses his eyebrows or shouts and kills. Even if Yongmi hates him to the bone, he has to admit that Poole is just a bad temperament, not the kind of wild man who will drunk and dream to death on a woman's belly, or shine American style in the live broadcast when there is nothing to do. Not to mention the crispy family barrels before the Wizards, 24-year-old Poole is in good health and resistant to skin. Played 76 games in 21-22 and played fully in 22-23.

To be honest, I'm optimistic that Poole will be happy with the Wizards next season, and the team will finish without the pressure of the record. If it is not enough, someone will take Poole's data at that time, and all kinds of shouting warriors will lose a lot ...

Of course, everyone is relieved, for Paul, joining a team that still looks a little presentable, he maintains the last decency of a veteran, and does not have to take the layoff order to look for a base salary at an age;

For Poole, he left the honoraries who made him love and hate, and it was he who was beaten last offseason, and the one who beat him up didn't even have a ban, no wonder he didn't even want to pretend to be a social account after leaving the team;

And for the Warriors, the stinky boy who was ambitious and vainly tried to challenge the privileges of Xungui and did not know the height of the sky finally got out, and the old buddies can play Xungui basketball happily together. Kicking the egg will renew the contract, and after staying up with Paul, he will renew his contract with Clay at a relatively reasonable price, and the brothers will stay with each other until the end of their careers.

As long as you stop thinking about things that are drifting away, that's actually good.
