McGrady was sent away by the Magic. Is this the beginning of the Magic's decline?

I thought the biggest news this summer was that Iverson left the Sixers to go to the Nuggets, but unexpectedly, there were still such big news waiting for the NBA regular season to begin.

The Magic actually traded McGrady.

For a moment, the entire NBA was discussing this matter.

Especially the Chinese journalists around Chen Xiao.

"The Magic's management has been in the head, and the Heat's defending team has lost its biggest competitor!"

"The Heat will defend the championship next season!"

Whether it is Teacher Zhang, Xiao Su or other Chinese journalists, I was really excited at this time.

Let's just say that, in recent seasons, the Magic have always been the biggest opponent in front of Chen Xiao and Yao Ming, no doubt about it.

Although the Nets and the Bucks have all risen briefly, the only one who has always been strong and has always maintained its presence.

But now, the Magic team has actually abandoned their martial arts and used a super giant to exchange for zero-for-zero civilian players from the Pistons.

Big Ben, Hamilton and Prince, these are indeed civilian players.

Because the Pistons did not have the civilian miracle of 2004, the Pistons players are generally inferior to those in history in terms of reputation.

Therefore, Big Ben, Hamilton and Prince are both ordinary stars with good strength, and they are incomparable to super giants like McGrady.

"In basketball games, there are only 10 people in total, and a team can only play at most five people. No matter how many players you get, it is better to have a super giant. If you use zero exchanges in the NBA, you will definitely fail in the end!

In the NBA, zero exchange is the best way!”

"The Spurs can say goodbye to the championship next season!"

There is indeed a reason for the excitement of the reporters.

In fact, many experts in the United States are also discussing the crazy nature of this transaction.

In the NBA, zero replacement is indeed easy to fail.

So, is the Magic's management really that idiotic?

Of course not. The Magic's management is ambitious and flirting, but it is impossible to say that they are idiots.

The Magic Management evaluated this decision for a full month for trading McGrady.

Finally, the Magic's management concluded that McGrady's existence did hinder the team's tactical style.

The Magic team with Duncan actually doesn't really need a super giant on the outside with heavy singles authority.

Duncan is a team player. Duncan likes to cooperate with his teammates, and McGrady's existence makes the Magic's overall tactical cooperation not smooth enough.

Let's just say that, except for Duncan who can play and cooperate, McGrady is isolated on the court with Ginobili or Parker.

This is also the reason why the Magic were forced into that appearance by the Wufeng Nets last season's playoffs.

You can't play the overall tactics and you can't use your personal ability to kill the Nets, so you will naturally hold it back.

Therefore, the Magic are a little desperate about the overall integration of McGrady and the team.

The team's head coach Dougreaves is not a head coach with such ability.

The most important thing is that McGrady is indeed not such a player.

Players like McGrady are the protagonists everywhere they go. He stands on the court and is it necessary to let him play and cooperate.

Of course there is no need.

But the key is that although McGrady is like Chen Xiao, standing there is an opportunity, and there is no need to play tactics at all, just do it.

However, McGrady's pulling efficiency is a bit far from Chen Xiao.

And this is where magic is very painful.

If McGrady has high offensive efficiency, he cannot play tactics with Ginobili or Parker, so the Magic will endure it. Even if he leaves, he will leave Ginobili and Parker.

But the key point is that McGrady's key ball efficiency is not as high as Ginobili, which is embarrassing.

Ginobili is better than your team, and his scoring efficiency and ability are not worse than you at critical moments. Tell me, as the management of the Magic, why don’t Ginobili stay and then use McGrady to exchange for the Magic’s lack of forward defense and Duncan’s inside partner?

Hamilton and Prince are both very good wing defensive players.

Ben Wallace is also a very good inside partner in Duncan.

For the Magic, this deal from the Pistons is indeed very attractive.

The main reason for delaying for a month is that the target of the transaction is a player like McGrady, which really requires careful evaluation.

Even ordinary management really doesn’t have the courage to trade.

It has to be said that the Magic's management is indeed bold enough.

Regardless of whether the deal is successful or failed in the end, with the courage and decisiveness of the Magic Team management, this deal is destined to be famous in history.

Of course, for the Pistons, McGrady's transaction is naturally profitable.

What the Pistons want now is popularity, and the Pistons need to bring their own market up.

The Pistons have now given up on the pursuit of championships.

In the current East, it is really a joke for the Pistons to talk about the championship.

In this case, the Pistons' management needs a super giant who can increase popularity and sell tickets for the team.

No one is more suitable than McGrady.

In the entire NBA, there are not many people who are more popular than McGrady, and these people are non-selling products from their respective teams (Iverson failed in the competition).

Charlotte.

After McGrady's deal was completed, Chen Xiao, who was originally on holiday, took the initiative to end his holiday and return to the team.

Seeing Chen Xiao coming back on his own initiative, Jordan did not let Chen Xiao continue his vacation.

The Magic does not trade with McGrady, and the Bobcats also need to make an impact assessment.

Of course, Jordan and the Bobcats’ coaching team will not be as superficial as the reporter.

Of course, Jordan and most coaching scouts also had a fog in front of them for this deal with the Magic, and there was no way to tell whether it was good or bad.

But Chen Xiao said very firmly: "The Spurs will be very, very strong next season!"

Jordan was stunned when he saw Chen Xiao's words so decisively.

"Michael, no one knows Manu and Hamilton better than me. Their strength is not something that data can reflect. They have strength that data cannot show!"

"In my opinion, the Magic traded Hamilton, Prince and Ben Wallace with TMC, which is a big profit for the Magic!

This deal Magic made up for their own defense and also had their own offense. Duncan can finally play in a team with excellent offense and defense!”

Why does Chen Xiao have such a high opinion of the Magic Team?

The main reason is that Chen Xiao is too familiar with the players of the Magic Team.

Duncan, Manu, Hamilton...

These are Chen Xiao’s friends.

I won’t talk about Manu and Hamilton.

Talk about Duncan.

When Duncan was at the Spurs, he mainly played boring defensive basketball, and his offense was wasted.

In the Magic team, the Magic plays offensive basketball. Duncan's defense is not wasted. In the Magic, Duncan really has no teammates around him who can help him defend, so when Duncan makes choices in offense and defense at critical moments, he often chooses attack.

Because he has no trusted defensive teammates around him, even if he focuses on defense, he can't defend himself alone. In the end, Duncan can only choose to attack.

Whether it is the Spurs' defensive or the Magic's defensive, Duncan did a great job, but there is no doubt that neither team can best play Duncan's strength.

The team that can best exert Duncan's strength is the kind of team that is good at both offense and defense, which allows Duncan to be at ease to defend and attack whenever he wants to attack.

And the Magic team next season will be such a team.

Chen Xiao doesn't think that his vision is better than Jordan or the Bobcats scouts, but Chen Xiao is indeed familiar with the Magic team players enough. Knowing how great they are, he thinks that the Magic team is so incredible.

Chen Xiao’s evaluation of the Magic is not just about Jordan, but Chen Xiao also told Wade and Yao Ming about his evaluation of the Magic next season.

Yao Ming is fine, but Wade is...

"Chen, are you kidding? The Magic traded McGrady, and he is still the strongest team in history?"

To be honest, most people now have the same view as Wade, that is, the Magic have made a loss-making deal.

After all, they are different from Chen Xiao, and they don’t know how outstanding Hamilton and Ginobili are.

It should be said that they knew Ginobili and Hamilton were excellent, but they didn't expect to be so outstanding.

Therefore, they all felt that after McGrady left, the vacancy left by McGrady could not be filled by others.

In short, after the Magic and Pistons completed the deal about McGrady, the entire NBA was trapped in the discussion of this deal.

Most of them think that the Pistons make money, while a small part thinks that Magic may make money, but even if they think that Magic may make money, they will never think that the Magic will be the strongest team in history like Chen Xiao.

To be honest, after Chen Xiao entered the NBA, although there were many of the strongest teams in history in the NBA, they were rated as the strongest team in history.
