In fact, think about it carefully, Michael Reid’s departure is doomed. The Bucks were eliminated by the Magic in the second round with a disgraceful 0-4. The small K’s change to the extreme did not allow this team to win even one. Victory.

There is no other reason for this. It can only be said that this lineup has reached the upper limit, and there should be some changes!

The change of the team is nothing more than the adjustment of the players or the adjustment of the head coach.

Although Xiao K's several schedules in the playoffs did not work, it can be seen that he really figured out a solution, and this pot really can't get him out of his head.

Since the coach doesn't move, he can only move the players.

In the current Bucks lineup, there are only a few that have transaction value and can be used as the main bargaining chip. Yi Jianlian is definitely not for sale. Bogut is also a rare defensive insider in the league at present. He has the ability to cope and pass the ball. Such a baby can't give up.

As for Mo Williams, he just gave a new contract last summer. Judging from his performance in the 08-09 season, this contract is still quite cost-effective and cannot be moved.

Counting and counting, the only one who can give up and still have transaction value is Michael Reid!

Although he only played less than 20 games this season, he still averaged 21 points per game in these 20 regular season games. Although the playoffs exposed a lot of defensive problems, Able to average up to 18 points per game. As far as the current league shooting guards are concerned, he is a good second-place scorer, and Michael Reid's contract is only two years left, for some who want to make big moves. The team is the best candidate to temporarily fill the salary cap, and there is no market at all.

In short, Michael Reid is in an embarrassing situation dispensable for the current Bucks. If Hammond makes a big move, he must be the first trader.

Michael Reid knows this too, so he can’t wait to submit a trade application. For a star player like him who has won a big contract, has been in the All-Star, and has been the team’s boss, instead of being kicked out, It's better to apply for the transaction yourself, so you can have more face.

It was precisely because he understood Michael Reid's current embarrassing situation that Yi Jianlian didn't say anything.

Furthermore, even without the influence of these factors, if Michael Reid wants to leave, Yi Jianlian will still respect his decision.

After all, Yi Jianlian is just paying back the favor.

If Michael Reid doesn't want to leave, then he will endure whatever he says. If Michael Reid wants to leave, then he won't say anything to keep him. Everything is based on Michael Reid's personal wishes.

***

After Hammond heard from Dan Fagan that Yi Jianlian said that he respected Michael Reed's wishes, his expression was relaxed a lot.

About half an hour after the Bucks’ game in Orlando today, he received a call from Michael Reid’s agent. When he heard Michael Reid’s initiative to be traded, he didn’t think how beautiful he was. Michael Reid let him go. The starting lineup has no defensive ability, can't hold the ball, and the effect of entering the second team is poor. Anyone with a discerning eye can see that this guy is a bit out of touch with the Bucks today. He has something, and Mo Williams has it now. , And a team obviously doesn’t need two Mo Williams, especially Michael Reid, whose salary ranks first among the Bucks. Replace him with two more powerful substitute players. The Bucks’ strength is absolutely. If it does not fall but rises, the possibility of further progress can definitely be greatly increased.

It’s just that Yi Jianlian’s attitude towards Michael Reid is not ordinary closeness. If you don’t know that Yi Jianlian will trade rashly, it will probably cause Yi Jianlian’s dissatisfaction. For Hammond, this is really unnecessary risk. Anyway, it’s just a phone call. .

Fortunately, Dan Feigen gave him the answer he hoped. Yi Jianlian agreed to the deal with Michael Reid. Now, there is no more worries, and you can officially start asking the bargaining chips that all parties are willing to give.

Although the trading market has not yet started, it is said that there can be no exchanges in trading at this time, but the rules are dead, people are alive, and two private calls between the general managers are really not so easy to stop.

In fact, more than 80% of the off-season trades were negotiated before the free market opened, and they only waited for the trading market to open, and then traded directly.

This has no effect on the alliance itself, and naturally there is no restriction.

The Bucks are out, and the playoffs are still going on.

The Celtics did not survive Garnett's comeback, and were taken away by the Cavaliers four to one. The two teams in the Eastern Conference finals had the final result. The Cavaliers led by LeBron James faced Dwight Howard's. Magic team.

In the Western Conference, the Nuggets are in good shape this year. They overturned the veteran Spurs and reached the Western Conference Finals for the first time in the 21st century.

And the epic matchup between the Lakers and the Rockets also had the final result. Just like the process in Yi Jianlian’s memory, Yao Ming was completely reimbursed after he staged "The Return of the King", and the Lakers, after the seventh game with the Rockets, Won the victory of the game and advance to the Western Conference Finals.

It is worth mentioning that during this period, the league officially announced two awards, one is the "Best Coach Award of the Season" and the other is the "Best Defensive Player Award."

The best coach was taken by Mike Brown. This year, the Cavaliers' record is No. 1 in the league. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com gave him the "Best Coach". In fact, there is not much controversy.

On the contrary, some Milwaukee fans feel sorry for Xiao K. In 2007, Michelle was the best coach of this year. The situation is similar to this year. Although there is no season first, but with the number of wins exceeding 20 or 30 games last year, In the end, he won the best coach. The Bucks have won 20 or 30 more games this year than last year. It is said that K is also qualified to get it, but Mike Brown took it.

Milwaukee diehard fans are always a little unhappy.

The "Best Defensive Player Award" is not the slightest criticism, Dwight Howard won the first "Best Defensive Player Award" of his career.

It can be said to be well deserved.

After all, he really supported the Magic's defensive system.

At the beginning of the finals of the East and West Division, both sides in the first two games were tied 1-1, and they seemed to be of equal strength.

And before the start of the third game of the Eastern Conference Finals, the last NBA award was announced-the regular season MVP winner LeBron James!

This is the first regular season MVP of LeBron's career, and of course the most important honor in his career so far.

It's just a pity that this honor did not bring him good luck. Instead, the spell of "Regular Season MVP" made him fall on the stage of the Eastern Conference Finals.

Howard eventually became the one to advance in the East.

Perhaps this also confirms the old NBA saying: defense can win!

"Best Defensive Player" Howard succeeded on the corpse of "Regular Season MVP" LeBron James.

As for the West, the Lakers defeated the Nuggets 4-2 and entered the Finals for the second consecutive year. The best season of Anthony's career so far ended.
