Chapter 104: A New Beginning

During the training camp, the teams outside had various moves, the most lively ones were the Rockets. They kept trading and signing contracts. After the training camp, Jeremy Lin also became a Rockets player.

The Lakers also received heavy news that the team exchanged Nash for two first-round draft picks and two second-round draft picks, plus trading exceptions and cash.

Nash is old, but Kobe is also old. In order to continue to win the championship when Kobe's combat power is still alive, the outside world generally believes that the Lakers' operations are very good, after all, they have not sent away any combat power.

Xiang Chu was also very happy when he was surprised. After all, Nash's pass was master level, and he really hoped to cooperate with the passer master.

After returning from the training camp, Xiang Chu paid a little attention to the progress of the Olympics, and he usually trains.

As for things like summer league, he no longer needs to pay attention to it.

He has saved some money now and has been asking Jim Smith to pay attention to the right house, but he did not expect that the other party suddenly called him in a hurry.

"Xiang Chu, there is something you must know. I just got the news that the negotiations for the Lakers' trading Howard are close to success, but they may have brought you in."

Xiang Chu and Jim Smith were stunned for a long time after talking. He thought he had nothing to do this summer, but he didn't expect that there would be explosive news at this time.

If you think about it carefully, there are signs that Nash's deal does not involve players, and the Lakers definitely did not stop so early in the summer, and the performance of the Twin Towers in the playoffs is not very satisfactory.

However, Xiang Chu had been thinking about changing one of the two towers to the All-Star guards, and then he took the lead.

After Nash came to the trade, he didn't think about it anymore. Now it seems that the Lakers' main goal has always been Howard.

Xiang Chu quickly called Mike Brown, and he had a good relationship with the head coach this season.

"I can't intervene in management affairs for the time being. They must have wanted Howard, but I will give them advice and try to keep you as much as possible." Mike Brown said uncertainly.

Magic? Going to the east, it feels so far.

After a few days, Kobe, who had already gone to London, was the first to get the news, and the Lakers got Howard.

After getting the news from Kobe, Xiang Chu quickly received the team's official notification.

The main bargaining chip in this deal is Bynum, and Xiang Chu is only part of it.

The reality is that the Magic didn't like the two of them at all, and the deal involved four teams.

Howard is about to leave the team, not only the Lakers are tempted by the Lakers, but other teams have better bargaining chips and are willing to give out instant combat power, draft picks and garbage contracts, but the Magic obviously don't think of these.

They value combat power on the outside, draft picks, and potential newcomers on the inside. They don’t care much.

They may want to train outside players because Bynum and others don’t want it. In their eyes, Xiang Chu is just a low-end version of Howard, and he doesn’t want it. In fact, the Nuggets are strongly wanted to add Xiang Chu.

For this reason, they are willing to have an extra first-round draft pick and a starter, which is their useless inside player.

This bargaining chip will definitely not be able to be exchanged for Xiang Chu. The key is to take this opportunity to take a gamble. Kobe is getting older and older, and the Lakers are not even willing to wait for Bynum, and they cannot wait for Xiang Chu to grow.

Originally, Xiang Chu was just an insurance company, but now he can fight to get Howard and the others.

The Nuggets also fought hard. They sent out three main players, two in the first round and one in the second round. Of course, they gained a lot. They got Iguodala and Xiang Chu.

In order to get Bynum, the 76ers lost key player Iguodala just now.

However, for the 76ers, they no longer have patience with an outside core like Iguodala, who has no attack power, and they will definitely have to trade if they don’t plan to renew their contract in the last year.

On the surface, the Magic was a bit of a loss, and the other teams each took their own needs.

But the actual situation depends on the beginning of next season. It will only be known if it is a dragon or a worm that has been beaten.

Xiang Chu was depressed for two days, but soon he got connected. Leaving the Lakers was also a chance. Otherwise, when Howard came, he could only play supporting roles, but when he went to other teams, he had the chance to play the lead role.

The Nuggets are still a little better than the other two teams, and are still in the West.

But as far as the city is concerned, it is definitely far inferior to Los Angeles, and Jim Smith can't figure it out.

"There were several commercial contracts that were all in sight. If you were traded, those bastards started to wait and see."

"Don't worry, I will soon make a higher value." Xiang Chu was full of confidence after thinking it through.

"Just Denver...ah!"

Jim Smith was still depressed. It was an inland city there, and it was no match for Los Angeles. It was a bit far from here. He also had to consider whether to hire an assistant to take charge of Xiang Chu.

In fact, cities with NBA teams cannot be considered small, but there is indeed a gap compared to the top-ranked big cities in the United States.

But the situation is done, and Jim Smith has no other way.

Xiang Chu planned to rent a big house first, and he was traded if he played well in the team. Xiang Chu was not sure how long he could stay in Denver, but it would be fine if he had a good house to buy it. He was now considered a rich man.

"They will regret it."

Life must continue, and social media must continue.

Xiang Chu spoke out for the first time after being traded, which also attracted a lot of attention, and even some media were attracted.

If you don’t want to use it, there will be news about Xiang Chu’s declaration of revenge soon, and there is nothing wrong with it.

Many fans below are comforting, and some think that leaving the Lakers is also an opportunity.

But it soon became a mess again, because some loyal fans gathered around Xiang Chu and Howard, and became more and more popular with some groups known as rational fans.

Xiang Chu is also used to this kind of thing, so it is not a small wave of popularity.

Since it has been traded, Xiang Chu has not continued to stay in Los Angeles.

Most of the summer team were not here. Xiang Chu originally wanted to invite a few familiar buddies to have a meal, but later he called to say hello.

He first returned to San Francisco and lived with Xiang Jianzhong for a few days. He waited for Jim Smith to find the house before moving to Denver.

In fact, he can go there later, but Xiang Chu is used to adapting to the environment a little earlier.

The monthly rent of $5,000 is good among ordinary villas. It is not far from the Nuggets' training hall, and has a garage, which is much larger than the small commercial housing in Los Angeles.

Xiang Chu simply picked up a car, and it took more than 40,000 US dollars to handle it.

In September, Xiang Chu had already met with the Nuggets management and contacted the team's head coach George Carl, and officially moved to Denver.

"A new journey," he wrote on social media.

His fans still reacted enthusiastically, unlike those snobbish media.
