NBA: Start with 20 billion, buy the Knicks

Chapter 59 Negotiations!Thunder number three!

Chapter 59: Negotiation!Thunder No. [-] pick!

Sean Marks was a little excited when he heard it.

Come up to operate a big deal!

Asking for the No. [-] lottery directly shows how ambitious Jiang Chao is in the eyes of the media who has achieved nothing!
Generally, teams choose their own lottery picks every year, and they don't ask for more.

Only a few will trade up.

But Jiang Chao still needs a higher pick, obviously he needs better young players.

Jiang Chao has only told him about this so far.

It also made Max understand the grand plan of the new boss:
"Understood, the No. 8 pick and future draft picks will not change, and this deal will be done in the form of players + cash + swap."

Sean Marks nervously dialed Mr. Pu's video call.

Jiang Chao raised his eyebrows: "I still missed one."

Max smiled knowingly: "Haha, that is necessary, in the most reasonable (money-saving) way!"

In terms of saving money, the Spurs are better than anyone else. In the trading market for so many years, the Spurs have only overestimated the failure of players.

But never once did I get taken advantage of.

Anyway, it's at least an equal deal, and it won't be said that everything is spent for a player or a draft pick.

Sean Marks has learned this advantage very well.

"bring it on!"

Sean Marks rolled up his sleeves, ready to negotiate:
"Hello, General Manager Prosti."

"Hello, General Manager Sean Marks, long time no see. The last time I saw you, you were still playing."

"Yes."

The two chatted about business for a while, talking about forming a friendly alliance or something.

Jiang Chao closed his eyes and meditated beside him.

Until Mr. Pu first talked about the draft:

"Hey, Boss Jiang, who are you going to choose for the eighth pick? I'm afraid of colliding with you, so I try not to choose the person you want to choose."

Jiang Chao glanced at the mousse middle-aged man stroking his beard in the video:

"James Harden."

President Pu thought about Gordon:
"He can't become the king of New York. His skills and talents are not top-notch and need to be polished."

"Then you don't choose him either."

Jiang Chao laughed wildly in his heart, what are you pretending, don't choose if you have one.

Sure enough, Mr. Pu covered up his embarrassment with a smile, and started the next topic:
"I have discussed many plans with the team in the past few days. I am more interested in some players of your team. Can we have a deep chat? I know you want draft picks. We have the 3rd and 25th picks in the first round and the 24th pick in the second round. They can all be used as bargaining chips.”

"So, if our trade works out, you can make sure you pick the Harden you want!"

I'm coming!

Ming people do not speak secretly.

The young general manager is also very straightforward in doing things, without delaying the muddle, directly saying that the No. 3 lottery is also available!
The tempting sugar is here!

Sean Marks was a little nervous. He had never seen this scene before. He really handled it by himself. Every decision was related to the players and the team. It's no wonder he didn't sweat.

"You have the No. 3 lottery? Are you sure?"

"correct."

Mr. Pu had a good impression of him because of Jiang Chao's recruitment before. In addition, it is true that the two teams can cooperate. One is about the record and the other is about the future.

"what do you want?"

Sean Marks asked.

President Pu in the video said directly:
"Harrington + Wilson Chandler + No. [-] pick."

Sean Marks directly rebuffed:
"Impossible, remove the eighth lottery."

Just kidding, Harrington is a qualified starter with an average of 20.7 points and 6.3 rebounds per game. Although he is not worthy of an All-Star, he can be regarded as a representative of a flexible center at the peak.

In Sean Marks' view, Jiang Chao's rejection of him is due to open opposition to the boss, and the other may be because he is 30 years old. If he focuses on youth storms, he will definitely not be able to run with the newcomers.

Otherwise, such a player is a panacea, and can play at the 4th and 5th positions.

And Wilson Chandler is a small forward in his prime, the Knicks veteran rookie ranked 2007rd in the first round in 23. He set a bunch of personal records last year, representing the Knicks in 82 games, averaging 33.4 minutes , 14.4 points, 5.4 rebounds and 2.1 assists.

The attributes and statistics of tolerance are not bad, and it will not be a problem to train in the future to replace Safoloza and Jeff Green as the Thunder's qualified starting striker.

These two people add up to be about the same, but with the No. [-] pick, there is no need to talk about it.

Is it equal to 3 lottos for Tanhua?

How big a draft year is this?

Max pulled his face down directly:

"I wish it was more sincere."

Jiang Chao nodded. Sean Marks was okay on the spot, and he obviously knew how to make a deal equal.

"Then how about replacing the No. [-] pick with Du Hong?"

Obviously President Pu made several plans, and after the Knicks rejected it, he directly came up with another plan.

This scheme is obviously more suitable.

Chris Duhon is one of the few defensive traditional point guards in the Eastern District. His style of play is to use the pass to execute his tactical intentions.

Belonging to a well-regulated point guard, this kind of player is the non-offensive player that Jiang Chao doesn't like very much.

Every player has the ability of c to be a threat, otherwise everyone will not guard against you.

Judging from Mr. Pu asking Du Hong, Jiang Chao has already seen why Mr. Pu wants to make a deal with him.

It turned out to be the case.

These three are very important to the Thunder's current lineup.

The two veterans brought stability to the young Thunder. The Thunder lost at least 2 games due to mistakes at the end of last season.

Harrington is equivalent to replacing the slow Collison and the rookie Ibaka who has not played yet. He has mid-range shooting and defense, and he is a plug-and-play starting insider.

Du Hong must have been Westbrook's substitute to control the field. Westbrook and Du Hong's play style is completely reversed.

Megatron is a rare impact guard in this era, with all kinds of dunks, zombie jumpers and so on, but it is difficult to control the rhythm. Last year, Downey chose Duhon because he wanted him to give the Knicks good control. The Thunder obviously need such field control urgently.

It's just that I didn't expect that until 2020, Mr. Pu ushered in Chris Paul who had passed his peak.

With the addition of Du Hong, the Thunder's record next season will not be bad. On the basketball court, once the rhythm is gone, they will jump to the end.

As for Wilson Chandler, he charged with the Thunder's second youngster, competing with Jeff Green for the starting position, and can also make an impact off the bench. He is a good blue-collar striker.

Has the ability to bounce, three-pointers and defend against power forwards!
All top support!

With these 3 people assisting scoring champions Durant and Guigui, the Thunder can even win the championship next season!

You must know that even if they choose Harden, Harden will actually be the sixth man next season, and his statistics are not very conspicuous, and Harden's defense is not good. In terms of real role next season, he may not be as good as the immediate blue-collar Chandler. Le.

Jiang Chao couldn't help admiring Mr. Pu's vision of seeing players. At the stage where he is still enjoying the bonus of Du Shaowei and Shao's rookie contract, coupled with this pile of immediate combat power, he can jump into the ranks of strong teams without paying the luxury tax and eat three contracts. Thunder boss No wonder he was given such power.

But let alone, Mr. Pu's deal is just right, and there is something.

Among the 3 players, 2 are the thorns that refuse to accept Jiang Chao, and 1 is an old-school point guard who makes up for Westbrook's role. The Thunder's record next season will definitely be in the top 8, and the Knicks will take the No. 3 pick. future!
Sean Marks seemed to be in deep thought, but actually looked at Jiang Chao, paying attention to the boss's expression.

This deal seems to work.

If you want to change the top 3 picks, you have to spend some money. Scratching the big prize is much more exciting than the prizes that have already been scratched.

Jiang Chao was thinking.

Weigh the pros and cons.

Compared with other teams' bids, President Pu moved his heart.

Regardless of whether Harrington made trouble or not, he definitely doesn't need him, because this guy came to the Knicks last year because he took the initiative to ask for a trade with Don Nelson, pretended to have a back injury, and then swapped with Jamal Crawford.

Although he has only changed Wu Sheng before, but if you pretend to be injured and want to trade in Jiang Chao, you will be sentenced to death. A player like Renner cannot appear in his team.

Du Hong's words are very tasteless. If he wants to train 09 double irons, he has nothing to do with him, and he can't teach two offensive point guards.

Chandler is a good young player, and he played very well in CBA later, but his shortcomings are instability, very unstable shooting and rough offensive methods. Jumpman's career will not be too long, but , can also stay.

Chandler wrote the most apology letters among the door-blocking foursome...

Compared to them, there are still many in the team that Jiang Chao doesn't want to rot in his hands.

So he got up and said seriously:
"President Trump, Chandler is replaced by Malik Rose, and I'll make the deal."
