So the last way they could take seemed to be only one left, renewing the contract with LaFrenz, and then signing some basic salary insiders to come back.

It looks like this, but in fact... it is not like this at all!

Just before the draft, there was another fierce quarrel between Old Nelson and Cuban.

The person who quarreled, yes, was still about Nash.

Cuban's idea is the same as before, and he is planning to exchange Nash for a high-quality insider.

Old Nelson's idea was the same as before, to keep Nash and seek other ways.

But this time, Cuban clearly gained the upper hand.

Because last year's playoff experience told them that if they set their goal as the championship and there is no good enough inside player, they will never think about passing the Lakers level.

As for Nash, it is indeed very helpful to the team when fighting against the Timberwolves, positional battles, offense and joint defense.

However, the Mavericks' goal is not just to defeat the Timberwolves.

Their goal is the Lakers, the championship, and even if they beat the Timberwolves again, it wouldn't make much sense.

Moreover, when playing against the Lakers, Old Nelson even put Nash on the bench for a while.

"Don, you also want to prove to Greg that guy that you can win the championship in your way, right?"

Cuban's last words made Old Nelson fall into deep thought.

Old Nelson is now in the same situation as Popovich, and Kuban's words hit the key point.

And his next sentence eventually made Old Nelson compromise.

"As for Steve, staying in Dallas may not necessarily be a good thing. Isn't it a good thing for him to become the core guard of another team?"

Old Nelson finally compromised.

This is also the fundamental reason why the Mavericks took Navarro in the first round in the draft.

They were ready for Nash's departure.

Just shortly after the free market door opened, news came from the NBA.

The Mavericks made a deal with the Warriors.

The Mavericks sent Steve Nash and Wang Zhizhi (signed first and then exchanged), and got Eric Danpier from the Warriors' trade!

Danpier, the No. 10 pick in 1996, averaged 11.8 points and 8.7 rebounds in the second year of his rookie season.

His performance with the Warriors declined slightly last season, but he achieved his best performance in his career defensive end, and he averaged 2.3 blocks in 23 minutes.

With a height of 2.11 meters and a weight of 120 kilograms, there is only one of the few inside players in the league who can compete with O'Neal.

Well, it's the guy who claims to be "the second center in the West" in history.

That's a joke, but he is indeed capable.

When the deal was concluded, Sun Hao was still training in the national team.

After the training, he saw Wang Zhizhi go out and answer a call, which was called by Nelson Jr.

Then he also learned the news from Wang Zhizhi.

He also understood the operations of the Mavericks' draft at the first time.

Looking back, there were signs at that time, but he didn't expect it.

Although he didn't want Nash and Wang Zhizhi to leave, the deal had already happened and he couldn't change it.

And Nash's trading rumors have lasted for a whole season last season.

This transaction finally happened, and it can only be said that what should come came eventually.

"They said it was the Warriors who insisted on me."

However, Wang Zhizhi looked in a good mood.

In the Mavericks, there are Nowitzki and Danpier in front of them, and he can't start no matter how he plays.

But on the Warriors, after Danpier was sent to the Mavericks, the team's center suddenly became vacant.

He will compete with Troy Murphy, who has similar technical characteristics to the team's substitute inside, and has a starting center.

And to take a step back, even if you haven't competed with Murphy, the team's boss Jamison is a striker who can play small forwards.

He still has a chance to compete for the starting power forward.

If he takes a step back, he will get more opportunities to play than he did when he was with the Mavericks.

Sun Hao originally wanted to comfort Wang Zhizhi, but found that he was not needed at all.

And that's true.

This is also the reward Wang Zhizhi has received after his efforts last season.

After chatting with Wang Zhizhi, Sun Hao called Nash.

"You know? I was in Canada for a football game and I won, and then I got a call from Don."

Unlike Wang Zhizhi, Sun Hao could feel Nash's frustration from the tone on the phone.

His progress in the past two seasons has been visible and he has sacrificed a lot for the team, but in the end, he still cannot escape the fate of being traded.

This experience really corresponds to the famous saying of NBA: Business is just business.

"The Warriors will trade you with Dampier. It's a very clear signal. They want to fight the run and the bomb more thoroughly, and that's a chance for you."

The road is ready, and Sun Hao cannot change it. What he can do is comfort and enlightenment.

And what he said was not a lie.

The Warriors, Arenas, Richardson, Jamison, they really don't lack scorers.

But they really lack control over the ball.

When Nash went, he was like Zhuge Liang going to Liu Bei's camp, like fish in water.

This is also something that has never happened in history, like the Wizards last season.

Although the Wizards failed to reach the finals last season, they played in the Eastern Conference Finals, which was much better than in history.

For the Warriors, they have been super bad guys in history in recent years. Before entering the small ball era, the Splash Brothers were playing, the standard brothers were the first brother.

If Nash goes, he will have a chance to change this situation.

So this is not necessarily a bad thing for Nash.

After hearing Sun Hao's advice, Nash couldn't help but sigh.

That's not what he wants to hear.

What he wanted to hear was Sun Hao's reluctance to him.

They are the three gay friends in the grass in Dallas.

After hanging up the phone, Sun Hao was also moved.

Although we know that this deal is a win-win situation for Nash, the Mavericks.

But there is no jealous Steve in the locker room next season.
