Chapter 959: 313: Just call it the Nomadic Dynasty (Requesting monthly tickets!) _3 Is this something worth bragging about? After the draft, the transfer market officially opened. The Indiana Pacers took the lead by sending Jalen Rose and the 2003 first-round draft pick to the Atlanta Hawks, reaching a sign-and-trade agreement with Paul Pierce. This move will bring the Pacers to their first peak of the 21st century. Because in the original timeline, the Pacers with Reggie Miller + Little O’Neal + Artest were a title-contending team, and it was widely believed that if not for the Palace of Auburn Hills brawl, Reggie Miller was very likely to retire with a ring. Pierce’s defense is not as good as Artest’s, but his offense is far superior. Overall, the Indiana Pacers still have championship potential. The Atlanta fans were already mentally prepared for this, while the Hawks’ shareholders were heartbroken. Of course, the most painful blow had yet to come. The next day saw an even bigger trade. The Dallas Mavericks traded Steve Nash and Michael Finley to the Los Angeles Lakers for the super center Shaquille O’Neal! Mark Cuban was determined to seize this era’s transition opportunity. In fact, in the original timeline, the Mavericks were also one of Shaq’s suitors, and Mark Cuban’s condition was “everyone except Dirk is up for grabs.” Had the Heat not made a sudden move, this trade might have been completed. When the news was announced, Mark Cuban was right beside Shaq. Shaq was quite pleased; he could already picture Mitch Kupchak crying his eyes out. Before the trade market opened, Mitch Kupchak approached Shaq, hoping he would reconsider because with the Hawks disbanding, the Lakers had a good chance of winning the championship next season. But Shaq told him, “Let’s put it this way, Mitch; in ten minutes, we’re going to call the Los Angeles Times, fifteen minutes after that, it’s the Orange County Register, and twenty minutes after you’re going to see the breaking news on ESPN. The news is, Shaquille O’Neal will definitely not stay in Los Angeles, absolutely not!” There was no way Shaq would stay in Los Angeles, and a championship opportunity? Ha, can a team with no harmony defeat the united Detroit Pistons? He had no desire to waste more time in Los Angeles. Reading the news, O’Neal patted Cuban on the shoulder: “Don’t worry, Mark, from now on, reaching the finals will be as easy as a trip to Disneyland for the Mavericks. That’s the reward for having the world’s greatest center. In the West, we have no rivals!” O’Neal was serious; in the West, he didn’t see anyone as his rival. Kobe? That idiot is just waiting to tear apart the Lakers. Roger? Everyone knows New York is the most likely destination for Roger. Chris Webber? Who could that loser possibly outplay? But just as Shaq finished speaking, ESPN interrupted with a breaking news update. Nowadays, only one basketball player’s transfer can warrant an ESPN emergency broadcast. “Latest news! Roger has signed a 2+1 max contract with the Golden State Warriors. The Bay Area has welcomed its king, and from now on, the West will undergo a complete transformation!” Shaq was momentarily stunned and then awkwardly looked at Cuban. He had just bragged about easily making it to the finals, and now Roger showed up? Damn Roger, this damn timing! Meanwhile, the Reebok basketball department was considering how to promote Roger’s transfer. Reebok definitely wouldn’t miss this opportunity; they must come up with a catchy theme to hype this transfer. While pondering, someone in the marketing department slapped the table. “I have a great nickname, let’s call it the ‘Reigniting Nomadic Dynasty’! It signifies Roger establishing a dynasty wherever he goes. What do you think?” The head of the basketball department, Todd Krinsky, nodded: “Rudy, I must say, you’re a damn genius!” —————– Shaquille O’Neal, the tragedy itself. I think in the future, he will fondly remember the days he could at least play in the finals. — “Los Angeles Times”. The East finally sees the light of day again; opportunities arise for all Eastern teams! Can the Detroit Pistons return to the finals? — “Slam”. No matter what, under my leadership, the Los Angeles Lakers will never have a win rate below 50%! — Kobe Bryant on Shaq’s departure. Roger, New York’s eternal enemy! — “The New York Times”. Oakland and San Francisco together have five professional sports teams, but from now on, we have only one true Bay Area King! — “San Francisco Chronicle”. If the team doesn’t win a championship within five years, I’ll get married. — Mikhail Prokhorov. Atlanta’s brilliant dynasty successfully established, but this is not Roger’s endpoint. The monarch of the basketball world ventures out again, the great Nomadic Dynasty sets sail once more! — “Sports Illustrated”.
