In addition to age, there is one obvious difference between the Heat's Big Three and the Celtics' Big Three.

The Big Three of the Celtics back then were all acquired through real transactions. In order to get Garnett, the Celtics traded almost half of their team to the Timberwolves, including five players and two first-round picks in a 7-for-7 exchange.

1. In exchange for Garnett, Ray Allen was also acquired through trade. These two players almost overdrawn the Celtics' draft picks in the next few years, completely exchanging the future for the present.

The Heat are different. Both James and Bosh joined the Heat as free agents. The Heat did not pay any price. Even in order to ensure the balance of salary space, the Big Three all chose to cut their salaries. This also made the Heat's

The lineup remains more competitive.

Therefore, the composition of the Heat's Big Three has a far greater impact than the Celtics' Big Three!

Wang Xiao has set his sights on the Heat's Big Three, which means that he and his team will face one of the strongest teams in the league in the next few years!

However, the Wizards are not vegetarians.

Curry, Harden, and Paul George, these three players will not be inferior to the Heat's Big Three in future strength, but they have not yet fully grown up.

After the system is upgraded to version 3.0, you can earn 200 victory points for each victory. A large number of victory points can allow these rookies to grow up quickly.

But before that, Wang Xiao still has one very important thing to do.

Poach people.

In the summer of 2010, Suns general manager Steve Kerr announced his resignation.

This is an opportunity. If Cole, the future initiator of the Warriors' small-ball tactics and who led the Warriors to three championships in four years, can be recruited as an assistant coach, the Wizards' level will surely make a great leap forward!

Wang Xiao remembers clearly that after Cole left the post of general manager of the Suns, he returned to the job of commentating on games until he became the head coach of the Warriors in 2014.

After returning to Washington, Wang Xiao immediately found Cole's phone number and called him.

"Hello, I am Wang Xiao, the head coach of the Wizards..."

Cole was a little surprised when he received Wang Xiao's call. However, when Wang Xiao explained his intention on the phone, Cole took it seriously. So the next day, he took a plane and came to Washington to interview Wang Xiao in person.

.

To be honest, Cole would not be willing to return to the commentary position if he had no other choice.

After he became the general manager of the Suns in 2007, he planned several transactions, the most famous of which was the exchange of Shawn Marion and Marcus Banks for "Shark" Shaquille O'Neal. Facts have proved

, this transaction was a failure, O'Neal was completely unable to fit in with the Suns, who are good at fast-break running and gunning.

Subsequently, he made several transactions, but they all had little effect.

In July this year, with Stoudemire announcing that he was joining the Knicks and failing to retain the core of the team, Cole had lost the trust of the Suns owner.

Cole has been a professional player, a game commentator, and a team general manager, but this is his first job as a coach. Wang Xiao was even the first person to want to hire him as an assistant coach.

Wang Xiao is now considered a legend in the league. He became the head coach of a team in his early thirties and led a team at the bottom of the league to regular status in just one season.

Ranked second in the league and reached the Eastern Conference Finals in the playoffs.

And his superb vision in selecting players in several drafts also made many teams jealous.

Cole is also very interested in Wang Xiao, because he also has plans to become the head coach of a team. People like Wang Xiao who have achieved extraordinary achievements at a young age are naturally his learning goals.

Therefore, Cole agreed to Wang Xiao's invitation and was willing to become the assistant coach of the Wizards.

But...when signing the contract, a little problem occurred.

Wang Xiao has the right to trade the team's players and can decide whether or not each player will stay.

But this does not include managers and other management personnel.

When General Manager Glenfield learned that Wang Xiao was going to sign an assistant coach, he immediately became furious.

"Are you kidding? Wang Xiao! You don't have the personnel rights of the team management! This team is not your decision!"

Facing the angry Grenfield, Wang Xiao seemed very calm. "Mr. General Manager, I made this decision for the future of the team. The team still has shortcomings. For example, in terms of defense, the team's performance last season was

Have you seen how bad the defense is? Although the team has the second record in the league and entered the Eastern Conference Finals, to be honest, it has a lot to do with luck. If some changes are not made this season, it may be difficult to win.

Further breakthroughs in performance.”

To be fair, Grunfield wishes that if the team's record is bad, Wang Xiao will pack up and get out.

But he couldn't say that, and when Wang Xiao suggested reporting the matter to the team owner and letting the owner make the decision, he gritted his teeth and agreed to sign Cole.

If even signing an assistant coach has to alarm the team owner, then he, as the general manager, is derelict in his duties.

After successfully signing Cole, Wang Xiao actually wanted to recruit another coach.

Brad Stevens, who is currently coaching at Butler University, will become a famous young coach and head coach of the Celtics in the future.

However, after calling, Stevens politely declined Wang Xiao's invitation.

This year Stevens just led his team to the NCAA Finals, where they were defeated miserably by Harvard University.

Unwilling to do so, he wants to make a comeback next year and win the NCAA championship!

Although it was a pity, there was nothing Wang Xiao could do.

If nothing else happens, Stevens will not win the NCAA championship next year. His team will fall again in the finals. Finally, in 2013, Stevens chose to join the Celtics as Kyle

Head coach of the special teams.

The team's lineup is complete and they have acquired assistant coach Steve Kerr. Everything is ready, except for the start of the new season.

But at this moment, something happened that Wang Xiao had not expected.

The Washington Wizards are up for sale!

According to a report from the "Washington Post", the Wizards' acquisition agreement has been officially completed and is only subject to review and approval by the league's board of directors.

Since the death of Pauline Sr., there have been endless reports that his family is trying to sell the Wizards. There are many interested parties, but because of the high price of the team, many people are deterred.

With Wang Xiao joining the Wizards, the team's record began to soar and became one of the strongest teams in the league. This also caused the news about touting the team to be less and less.

Wang Xiao didn't remember the information about the team owner very clearly, so he didn't know whether the Wizards had changed owners in another time and space, so he didn't expect that before the start of the new season, the team's owner actually changed.
Chapter completed!
