NBA: Start with 20 billion, buy the Knicks

Chapter 82 Raise the price!Stud All-Star Striker!
Chapter 82: Raise the price!Stud All-Star forward!
The eyes of everyone at the airport are shining.

Fishing in the free market is their favorite thing to do. It's like changing a shotgun for a cannon. There may be things like tree moving, dead people moving alive.

And the players they like can be recommended to the management, maybe they can work with the players they like, which is a beautiful thing.

Even if there are superstars, they can "chase stars at public expense", and work with superstars every day in the future.

The young marshal lamented Jiang Chao's efficiency, and agreed to let him lead the coaching staff to start studying the team's tactics after the draft. It was really fast, and today he will study free market transactions.

"Come on, let's go straight to the arena."

So the young marshal and the others rushed directly to the Madison Square Garden arena office with their luggage.

"Welcome everyone!"

After everyone entered the arena with big bags and small bags, the staff burst into fireworks to welcome the coaching staff to settle in.

Jiang Chao was the first to go forward and hugged the young marshal, and glanced at the person behind him, well, I didn't know him.

"Why did you bring all your luggage, go to the apartment to rest first, the house is ready for you."

"Thank you boss, isn't this to catch up with today's meeting?"

The young marshal pushed the huge suitcase to the corner.

Downey Jr. helped carry it and joked to his good friend, "So heavy? What is your big box?"

Messina smiled from behind: "It's all books and videotapes. I've been waiting for him to pack them up for a long time."

Sean Marks and others greeted the coaching staff with smiles on their faces.

It can be seen that everyone is very satisfied with this young and energetic coaching staff. The young coach looks much older than his age.

D'Antoni, a part-time coach assistant, also stepped forward to shake hands with the young coach, and looked him up and down:
"The new season is up to you."

"Work together and work together."

Mustache was faintly provocative, he wanted to see how powerful the person who replaced him as the head coach was.

But Stevens is right, he just wants to do a good job for the team now.

Several people went to the large conference room to be seated together.

Jiang Chao, who was seated at the top, said, "Liu Yan, bring the can of Pu'er I brought from home and brew it for the gentlemen."

"Okay, boss." Liu Yan responded with her head lowered.

I didn't dare to look at Jiang Chao after work today. Her sudden performance last night scared her. She blushed and tossed and turned all night. She was afraid that Jiang Chao would think she was impulsive and shameless, but Jiang Chao Super as if nothing happened.

While making tea, my heart was pounding. I just felt that my junior's ability and charm had reached their peak yesterday. I really wanted to... be with him forever.

During the dinner, she can still think about her little secretary, and since she joined the job, there are no unspoken rules that she was worried about before. Breeze is neither spoiled nor disturbed, satisfying all her fantasies about her future boyfriend.

"Liu Yan, what are you thinking! There will be no shortage of women around him, it's great that you can help him succeed in his career!"

Liu Yan suddenly lowered her eyebrows, but remembering Jiang Chao's last sentence "I'll pay it back next time", she shyly went to the conference room with her teacup in her hand, looked down at her body, I'm not bad at Nantah University Okay!Be confident!

I was already thinking about what the scene would be like at that moment.

At this time, Jiang Chao and the Knicks' absolute top executives were already having a tense meeting.

Jiang Chao, Sean, Deputy General Manager Mustache, Head Coach Marshal, Chief Assistant Messina, and Senior Scout Downey Jr., Deputy Minister of Personnel.

"Young Marshal, haven't you both found a new assistant?"

Speaking of this, the young marshal and Messina bowed their heads in embarrassment, and they are not the ones who will find reasons:
"It's a bit difficult. Those who are qualified don't want to come, and the others are too young to be a teaching assistant directly."

"Okay, it's okay. After the meeting, the troops will be divided into three groups. I will help you find a few to match." Originally, Jiang Chao planned to let them find one or two by themselves, and he would wait for the draft to match them. Come together.

Downey Jr. and the others all raised their eyes, wow, if you say it's right, it's right?Boss, how many connections do you have? ?There should be no teaching assistants in the market now.

But Jiang Chao has already started the topic:

"The theme of our meeting is the initial determination of the team's lineup, and choose 1-2 elite players to sign in the free market to completely improve the Knicks' lineup defects next season."

"Ok!"

"You also know that I selected five guards in this draft, and the vacancies in other positions will be filled by the free market."

haha~
The atmosphere in the conference room was relaxed.

"Huh..." The young marshal breathed a sigh of relief, don't just sign Iverson or something like that.

D'Antoni and Downey Jr. were the first to speak. The internal news is that many playoff teams have begun to liquidate their players after the draft, and the free market has also experienced large-scale fluctuations.

"Tell me."

Jiang Chao picked up the pen. Although there are no big fish this year, there are still many role players.

The recent change in the free market is that Kobe extended his contract with a maximum salary after winning the championship.

Iverson still hasn't found a good home. Jiang Chao was right for not being impulsive at the time. Other teams dare not accept this "bomb" unless he lowers his salary to become a role player.

Kidd and the Mavericks renewed their contract, and Carlisle and Cuban resolved the misunderstanding. This is how the small ball market is.

There is also Artest of the Kings. In 57 games played on behalf of the Kings last season, he averaged 20.5 points, 5.8 rebounds, 3.5 assists and 2.3 steals per game. His defensive ability is still the best in the league. Triggered the Rockets and Lakers and other teams to rush.

The reason for the rush is that Odom, whose contract has expired, seems to be leaving the team. Odom has performed quite well as the team's third offensive option, but for a player in such a role, his salary is somewhat Too high.

The pressure of the luxury tax means that Odom cannot get the salary he wants from the Lakers, and he may have to find other clubs.

His heart is very high, and he is squeezed by his wife Kohler Kardashian every day, and his salary must be high in the past few years of his career.

These two players are also more suitable for the Knicks who are currently short in the backcourt.

Of course, the contract extension of Lakers center Bynum has also become a problem, and Mr. Ku has already spread news that he wants to sell this little shark who has been injured for a long time.

After recovering, he looks forward to staying with the team with a high salary, but the Lakers are still waiting for his recovery. If he can continue the progress of last season in the new season, then the Lakers will definitely pay him a huge contract.

So if they can get rid of this little shark at this time, they are completely willing.

Then there is the explosion of the Jazz's salary space, with Boozer's data explosion last season, and the team's main center Okur and shooter Korver pursuing high-salary contract extensions.

It is difficult for the Jazz to function when the team's Deron, Millsap, and Kirilenko are all high-paid players.

And Mustache and Downey Jr. are very fond of Boozer.

"Did he jump out too?"

Jiang Chao rubbed his chin, a little interesting, the two Yao Ming killers have jumped out of the contract.

Boozer is only 26 years old, he has already ranked among the top players in the league, can afford the highest salary contract, and he has averaged 21 points and 11 rebounds in the past two seasons.

This season, he chose to end his contract early to test the free agent market. Teams with salary vacancies and sign-and-trade can allow him to leave the team. Currently, the most rumors are that he joined the Miami Heat and teamed up with Wade.

Boozer lives in Miami, but he said that he is willing to stay in the Jazz, in fact, he wants to see the attitude of the Jazz.

The attitude of the Jazz depends on who they choose between veteran Okur and Boozer.

Top shooter Korver is a must, but the functions between Boozer and Okur are a bit repetitive.

When Okur played a role player in Detroit at the beginning of his career, the Jazz offered him a high-salary contract. This was regarded by many as a gamble, but now it has all paid off and he has made great contributions to the team. .

With Boozer, Okur, and Kyler Korver all opting to become free agents this summer, the Jazz are facing tough financial choices.

"The management is not doing well."

Sean Marks: "The main reason is that the Jazz can't win the championship. If they can win the championship after paying the luxury tax, I believe the Jazz boss will renew the contract in full."

"Yes, this lineup fought the Lakers this season and was eliminated in the first round, so the Jazz will definitely change."

Finally, D'Antoni threw out a big news.

That is, Turkoglu, who was defeated in the finals, did not renew his contract with the Magic after his contract expired, waiting for an offer in the free market.

The tall point forward is obviously tired of playing in the finals, and it is obviously difficult for the Magic, which has 2 super maximum salary contracts, to offer him a maximum salary contract.

So next season, he will either continue to work with the Magic for money, or he will get more money!
Turkoglu had a fantastic season last season, he is one of five players in the league averaging at least 19.5 points, 5 rebounds and 5 assists per game, the other four are Carter, Tracy McGrady, Kobe Bryant and james.

However, in the previous three seasons, the Turkish agent has never averaged more than 14 points and 3 assists per game, so he is called a system player by many management.

Without Howard's restraint, can he still be so strong?
This is also one of the reasons why no team will sign him immediately and will not give a maximum salary.

"The above are the biggest fish of the off-season, and they are also players that we think are more suitable for the Knicks." Downey Jr. and Mustache finished their report.

Then they started a heated discussion. Fortunately, there was tea to reduce the fire, otherwise Jiang Chao would be afraid that they would do it, because it is normal for this kind of meeting to have disagreements.

Otherwise, why should the general manager have the sole discretion to decide? The vision of the general manager is definitely different from that of the coaching staff.

And his gaze is even more outstanding.

So when they were chatting about wanting Shark to supplement the inside line, or Boozer to come to the high fort to play space, Jiang Chao finally waited for them to finish the chat before making a decision:

"I took a look at our salary space just now, and listened to what you just said, so let's put it together."

"How about this, the first goal, even if the price is raised, we must win the Turkish Xingyue God of War!"

"Boss, what do you mean? Stud Turk Drew?" Sean Marks and others thought at first that Jiang Chao didn't participate because he couldn't react or didn't know the players from other teams.

Unexpectedly, Jiang Chao has been listening.

And indeed, the All-Star forward is a great fit for the Knicks! "

Only the boss can control such a situation!

What he said was decisive!
Sweat dripped from Liu Yan's forehead, who had been pouring tea for the high-level people, and now she finally calmed down, looking at Jiang Chao with eyes full of admiration.

"Yes, while we are playing Youth Storm, we must also enter the playoffs to experience the rookies."

"A player like Agent is the most suitable player to stabilize his record and enter the playoffs."

"Boss, you are right!"

"Good boss!"

"pass it to me!"

"For the Pacers to sign next season, I have to make the playoffs!"

(Note: Why is it said that Turkoglu is at the All-Star level, because the Magic regrets that Turkoglu did not make it when Nelson, Howard, and Lewis entered the All-Star, probably because the league feels that there are too many people in the Magic, But the fact is that Turkoglu is the real thigh of the Magic's outside line in the finals, so he was rated by the media as an All-Star but not an All-Star this season.)
