I'm good at basketball too

Chapter 203 Digging, Digging, Digging

10分5篮板、23分9篮板，2分4篮板，5分6篮板，9分6篮板，5分3篮板，4分5篮板，9分3篮板，7分5篮板。。。。

This is the data Millsap handed over in the previous games this season, highlighting a high drive and low drive.

Reminiscent of Mishen having just signed a 4-year 3200 million contract with the Jazz, Li Ran can't help but kindly think for the Jazz, whether their 3200 million is worth it or not. . .

Historically, Millsap is really not happy playing in the Jazz this season. His average playing time, average points, rebounds, and assists have all declined compared to last season, and he can't even start.

The big mountain on his head - Carlos Boozer, the anti-bone boy, has performed steadily, and the duo of him and Deron is getting better and better. This year is his contract year again, without any The reason is not to play well on the field.

Moreover, Boozer does not seem to have any reason to leave the stable Jazz.

Who would have thought that this guy would turn around and run to the East to hug Li Ran's good brother, Derrick Rose, after the season ended?
If you want to tap the Jazz's corner, this season is the best opportunity.

Li Ran called Cole, and the two of them rushed into Calipari's office and plotted loudly inside.

"First of all, what the Jazz are missing this season."

Cole thought about it carefully, and found that this deal seemed to be really worthwhile.

The Grizzlies really have the chips the Jazz might need.

"Lack of front line!"

Li Ran thought about it, and then blurted out.

To be more precise, there is a lack of small forwards.

That's right, this season, AK47 was injured one after another and his performance was very unstable. The top wing in the league now has no magic power of the year.

Since the start of the competition, AK47 has only played 3 games before the old injury relapsed.

And AK6, who has a 8600-year contract of 47 million US dollars, has now become a burden for the Jazz.

But apart from Kirilenko, the Jazz really don't have any good wing players.

Neither CJ-Myers nor Kyle Korver as a pure shooter can replace Kirilenko's position in the Jazz.

In fact, Kirilenko is only 28 years old this year. He was born in 81 and is one year younger than Yao Ming. However, his style on the field determines that he is more likely to suffer from injuries than ordinary players.

The Jazz lacks a striker, but the Grizzlies do not!
I happen to have the player you want here, do you want to think about it?
After sending the offer to the Jazz, the three of them laughed like three foxes in Calipari's office.

It didn't take long for Jazz to fax back.

They rejected the Grizzlies' offer without hesitation.

"It's no wonder they would agree to this kind of offer. Come on, send the second offer."

Cole said with a smile, Li Ran and Calipari nodded in sympathy.

The content of the first offer was that the Grizzlies took out Grant Hill in exchange for Paul Millsap alone. It would be hell if the Jazz agreed to this offer.

Old Hill basically couldn't play in the Grizzlies this season. Last season, he averaged 11+5+2 per game in the Suns. His playing space this season was squeezed by Turkoglu. Not to mention that there is also Li Ran who has an extremely stable playing time.

Li Ran was basically fixed at the small forward position by Calipari this season, and it was only during the period when Randolph was injured that he was mentioned to the fourth position.

Compared with the first offer, the second offer added a player.

The Grizzlies traded Grant Hill and Michael Finley for Millsap.

Finley's situation is similar to Hill's. As a veteran, he also averaged nearly 10 points per game in the Spurs last season, but Iverson and Ke 6 also occupied almost all the playing time at the second position.

After some time, Jazz sent back a fax.

The offer was once again rejected.

This time, the atmosphere in the office began to become serious.

"You still don't agree? Then you can only use your trump card."

Cole looked at Li Ran and Calipari, who nodded at the same time.

Both Cole and Calipari believe that the third offer is the real sincerity of the Grizzlies.

However, no matter how he looked at it, Li Ran felt that this offer seemed like a robbery.

The Grizzlies traded Cole Gafinli for Gardarel Arthur for Millsap and Kyle Korver.

Li Ran sometimes feels that he is not a time traveler, and these fine general managers and coaches are the role of prophets.

Korver's performance in the Jazz has been mediocre in recent seasons, scoring only one three-pointer, and has no defensive ability.

But this product mainly focuses on plug and play and long standby time.

He played a full 18 seasons in the NBA, and he was able to shoot more than 40% of his three-pointers in the season before retirement.

As for Darrell Arthur, as the main insider of the University of Kansas who reached the NCAA finals in the same class as Li Ran, he is recognized as an insider with certain potential. He averaged 19 minutes per game in the Grizzlies last season. Get 5+5 data.

After the offer was sent, the Jazz did not reply for a whole day.

"They were moved."

Looking at the rejection offer sent back by the Jazz again, Cole said in a spirited voice.

"Add a pick."

Li Ran said.

"Our first round of next year was already given to the Nuggets when we traded you. If we take it again, we can only get the 11th year's draft pick."

Cole frowned.

"It's not necessary, next year's second round is fine. If it doesn't work, add some cash." Li Ran shook his head.

In next year's draft, there are only a few people with potential, such as Wall, Cousin, and Paojiao.

But the 11 draft was different. . . .

That's a serious one with a lot of leftover pearls.

Cole sent the latest offer in doubt.

It didn't take long for Jazz's fax to come back.

"agree!"

In this way, the Grizzlies traded Millsap and Kyle Korver from the Jazz in the form of two veterans + an insider + a second round + some cash.

Both sides get what they need, the Jazz with a mature lineup strengthened their shortcomings and immediate combat power, and the young Grizzlies got the future.

However, next year, Sloan may not think so.

Who can say clearly about things like this in the future?

Isn't this kind of gambling-like transaction part of the charm of the NBA?
Although after the transaction is completed, there are only 13 players left in the Grizzlies lineup, but both Cole and Calipari believe that this 13-man list is completely sufficient.

In the next game, a bewildered Mishen stepped onto the court wearing a Grizzlies jersey.

He happened to replace Randolph, who still needs half a month of recovery time, as the team's fourth position.

Before the match, Li Ran patted Mi Shen on the shoulder with a smile.

"Fight well, I am optimistic about you."
