NBA: Start with 20 billion, buy the Knicks

Chapter 28 For Iverson?Or Kobe?

Chapter 28: For Iverson?Or Kobe?

On the Spurs side, general manager RC Buford was a little shocked after getting the news:

"Wow, this can give our team some impact."

"Yeah, these four people don't mention our team, other teams want it, Lord Luo can come back to defend, Chandler's striker height, Harrington is a quasi-star insider, Little Tudou is a rusher, the Knicks this Don't you want to play anymore?"

Assistant coach Sean Marks standing next to him also said:
"Yes, at first I thought Finley and DeJuan Bly could be swapped, but after I contacted Jiang Chao's secretary, he said that he only needed the draft pick, so there was no other way."

"You've already contacted us. Let's forget about the picks. Although our lineup is getting older, we should draft Taobao by ourselves, and it will be younger."

"Actually, I think we can really try this year's second round + players or cash and try to exchange Harrington with the Knicks. We need Duncan's capable substitute." Sean Marks has his own views.

"I said, no draft picks."

"The only thing I can do is to replace Jefferson with Harrington alone. Can you ask me?"

"Okay Mr. Buford." Sean Marks stopped talking immediately.

RC Buford was his mentor, and Popovich was also his coach during his player period. Under them, he was very convinced.

The Spurs are a team that rarely trades future draft picks, because the term low-post Taobao comes from them. Manu and Parker were both picked up by them in the draft. The rookies they fancy are not bad. Later, Danny Green and barber Simmons all rely on the Spurs to turn waste into treasure.

But in fact, after this year, they didn't win the championship until 14. In recent years, the lineup has been really problematic. For example, Jefferson mentioned by RC just now is a player that both sides admit is not suitable. This is the first time this situation has appeared in the Spurs.

So star player Jefferson is the only player the Spurs want to release.

Spurs player, Red Mamba Bonner sent a few exclamation points in the chat group:

"Could it be that the boss is a fan of Iverson, and he is clearing the space to give Iverson a big contract?"

Ginobili sent an impossible emoji: "I saw him give a speech. It's not like such a stupid person."

Thunder general manager Prosti, who was arranging for James Harden and Durant to meet and communicate, naturally also received the news.

He belongs to the general manager of the To level in the draft, and has created TO level supernovas like Durant and Westbrook.

But the ability to operate players is not very strong, so this year he tried to let the players who want to be selected chat with the team stars in advance or play a game to see how well they fit.

Seeing Harden and Durant talking and laughing now, it seems that he has the posture to become Durant's third brother.

Presti's first feeling when he heard the Knicks' four players was that they are too damn suitable for the current Thunder. The Thunder ranked eighth in the Western Conference last year, and this year's task after the No. [-] pick is to strengthen!

This year is a year of achievement!
So if people like the Knicks enter the free market, he will grab them like crazy!

Ibaka, who was selected with the 24th pick in the first round last year, failed to play in the starting lineup. Harrington is the best replacement, and how can the sixth man Sefoloza have a small potato?
This 175-foot-tall man impressed all the managers deeply. Every team needs such a passionate player.

Durant's personality is calm and even a little cold, like a god of death, and it's just right for 175 and Luo Ye to take the lead as a substitute.

So Mr. Pu's mind was spinning crazily, and he even completely forgot about the hard-boiled Jade Harden in front of him who hadn't started yet.

Thunder is a brand new team, and he is a brand new general manager. He will not miss the opportunity to achieve the best record in history next season!
Harden is the future, and probably won't be so plug-and-play.

But the Knicks are all players who have proven themselves in the NBA!

Instant combat power!
Change!
And just as he walked to the window sill of the restaurant and called Jiang Chao's secretary's office to ask for a quotation, the voice from there turned out to be:

"Salary parity deals are not exchanged, only draft picks."

pick?
slip away!

Like the Spurs, the draft pick is always kept by himself, and he even likes to hoard it. All his awesomeness is on the day of the draft every year. Want to get his draft pick?It's harder than taking it from the Spurs!
So he decisively terminated the communication.

After hanging up the phone, he thought for a moment.

Ok?
This new boss doesn't want so many NBA stars. He chose the most illusory draft pick when he could designate the opponent's player to seek a trade match?
Contrary to the mainstream voice of the league, thinking carefully, Jiang Chao is afraid that if Jiang Chao puts these four players for the draft pick.
hiss.
Don't brag, Harrington + Chandler + Little Tudou have no problem changing the top 3 picks.

Then
The goals of the two are likely to be the same?
President Pu glanced at Harden in front of him, and took a deep breath.

He doesn't know what Jiang Chao is going to do. Anyway, he has never heard that he wants Harden, but if he trades the No. 8 pick + these immediate players for draft picks, he has enough assets?
The Grizzlies and Clippers may not trade, right?

No way?
Could it be on this floor?

Presti scratched his head.

He had only seen the behavior of the old lasagna from a manager of Jerry West's level.

Blocking the random thoughts in his mind, he can only hope that the new Knicks boss is as stupid as the media said. If the new boss's ideas are really what he thinks, how powerful is he?

With this level, acting as the general manager is fine!
No, it's not powerful, it's terrifying.

When Mr. Pu himself was 20 years old, he was still showing mercy everywhere on campus.
The handsome guy next to him didn't know what happened:
"Hey, Mr. Pu, this guy can do it. They are all James. It should be no different."

James Harden's face darkened, and he directly recognized his elder brother:
"Brother, we will be crowned together in the future!"

Mr. Pu forced a smile. As the general manager, it is not certain whether you will be selected until the last moment.

……

Los Angeles.

The Lakers are now in the finals, the players are playing, and the coaching staff is analyzing tactics.

The management's eyes have already turned to the turbulent trading market.

General Manager Ku always bothers someone while watching Kobe and his training.

Shannon Brown, who made frequent mistakes in the Western Conference Finals!

He was restless in the training game, he only knew how to jump, and he was not stable at both offensive and defensive ends.

After seeing the characters in the Knicks supermarket, Mr. Ku said that Shannon Brown's statistics in all aspects are not as good as Nate Robinson, a backup scorer who is fast and can score like a microwave.

It's not impossible to take the second round of swaps. The Lakers' first round of the league this season is not worth much. There is a high probability that it will be at the end of the second round. Those are things that can be bought with 2 million cash.

As for Nate's temper?Kobe ruled him in seconds!
With multiple super sixth men like Nate next season, the Lakers also have something new to watch.

"Pelinka, you can ask the Knicks, Shannon Brown + second-round picks for Nate Robinson, the salary can be matched, and it's about the same price. It's a big ball market, so we won't cheat him."

Now the young assistant Pelinka nodded slightly handsomely: "Good Mr. Ku."

new York.

Jiang Chao received everything from the alliance in the morning——

Offers came in from 29 teams.

Liu Yan was so busy that she was sweating profusely, and Jiang Chao didn't have time to deal with some trolls.

Instead, go through it quickly to see if there is anything you like.

There's one thing that many teams are ignoring, and possibly selectively ignoring.

That is, Jiang Chao's team called for draft picks by name, and even if they didn't notice, the asking price was outrageous. Is it okay for a team's third-team player to exchange Harrington for such an outrageous trade application?

Is it okay to buy Nate for 100 million? ?How about sending it directly to you?

Such a team, Jiang Chao, directly blacked out, is there something wrong?Waste each other's time.

The Spurs, Lakers and Thunder have noticed this.

The Spurs and Lakers made relatively suitable offers.

Although the Thunder didn't make an offer, they said President Pu hoped to talk to Jiang Chao about his views on player swaps.

In short
Jiang Chao was not satisfied.

It seems that everyone treats him as a persimmon. This is just the first round of temptation, and no one really talks sincerely.

Liu Yan:

"Jiang Chao, have you noticed that all the callers are from the western teams?"

Jiang Chao: "Naturally, the management of the eastern team is not that powerful, and even if they are powerful, we won't be able to deal with them."

Jiang Chao thought a little differently about this.

The rival teams in the East are all looking at this year's free market.

The Knicks clear space.

According to Jiang Chao's previous way of doing things, is he the right person?

Neighbors in the east have recently applied for a lot of assistant coaches and managers for the top position of the Knicks management, but Jiang Chao refused on the grounds that he has a choice.

So they subconsciously thought so.

Although there are not many big fish contracts expiring this year, there are also many good players.

For Allen Iverson who parted ways with the Pistons?
Or.

Those who jumped out of the contract to test the free market——

Jason Kidd?

still is
Kobe's player option?
