The NBA started with helping Iverson win the championship

Chapter 40 I Want Jordan!

Li Xun has not spoken.

He had a good impression of Prince.

This Mesozoic player with some exquisite looks is diligent and diligent, and has never put on airs to his teammates.

Like Hamilton, he is a rare good guy for the Pistons.

Li Xun certainly didn't want Prince to be sold.

But he also knows very well that the NBA is a business.

Iverson won't allow it to be sold, and Prince won't let it be sold, so what reinforcements can we use?You can't go empty-handed and white wolf.

Dumars smiled and was very satisfied with Michael Curry's performance.

The head coach I hand-picked has average coaching ability.

However, this professional attitude is very qualified, and the homework is very good.

In addition, he is still a lucky player. If it weren't for Michael Curry, the Pistons still don't know when they will be able to tap Li Xun's potential.

In case Li Xun is sold or waived halfway, then Li Xun will play in other teams.

Dumars didn't even dare to think that he would definitely become the laughing stock of the entire league.

"I think Okafor is good."

"We don't lack offensive firepower, what we lack is a defensive gate that can guard the inside."

"One Prince may not be enough to impress the Hornets, we should think about adding some chips."

Dumars decisively rejected the option of Randolph.

Looking at the data, of course Randolph is stronger.

Randolph is a troublemaker. He and Rasheed caused so many troubles in the Portland Trail Blazers.

The Blazers were in a mess, and they were directly named the team name of the Portland Prison team.

Especially in 04, the entire Trail Blazers team had no players in the game for only [-] days, and players were caught at other times.

If Randolph is brought in, then he and Rasheed will have a lot of fun, and the Detroit Prison team will be half formed.

Of course, this is not the most critical.

Dumas is also afraid that Randolph, a big brush, will make Li Xun dissatisfied.

The two had some conflicts again.

If the relationship between the two is very good, then Dumas must be more worried, worried that Randolph will lead Li Xun to the bad.

So no matter how you look at it, Randolph can't have it.

You can't even ask for free gifts.

Okafor is much better. He is also a diligent player. He defends hard on the field and has never heard of any conflicts with his teammates.

The only thing to worry about is that the Hornets will not let go, or the Lions will open their mouths.

"Lee, what do you think?"

"What about Okafor's trading partner?"

Dumas still asked Li Xun.

Li Xun has been deep in thought. He just heard that the Los Angeles Clippers are going to sell Randolph, and he thought of something vaguely in his mind.

After thinking hard for a while, Li Xun's face became ecstatic.

He thought of a person.

"Make a deal with the Clippers!"

"No Okafor!"

Li Xun said excitedly.

Everyone in Dumas looked at each other in blank dismay. Does this mean that they want Randolph?
Could it be that Li Xun just entered the league and only looked at Randolph's data, but didn't know Randolph's disgraceful past?

"Li, are you sure?"

"Randolph is not as good as you think, although his numbers look good."

Dumas couldn't help but reminded.

Li Xun shook his head like a rattle.

"Not Randolph."

"I want Jordan! Trade Jordan!"

Now Dumas and others were even more speechless. They wondered if Li Xun had lost his mind.

They were discussing to find helpers for Li Xun, but Li Xun called for Jordan.

Where can they find a Jordan for Li Xun.

"Not that Jordan."

"It's DeAndre Jordan!"

When Li Xun heard about the Clippers just now, he vaguely thought of Jordan.

Since the team wants to strengthen the inside, is there a better candidate than Jordan?

Dumars frowned, he found that he didn't have this player in his mind.

As the general manager of the team, he usually has no time to pay attention to unknown people.

On the contrary, Michael Curry has some impressions of Jordan.

"Lee, are you talking about the Clippers' second-round pick center?"

Jordan and Li Xun are rookies in the same class, and both of them are in the second round.

It's just that Jordan's pick is much higher. He is the No.30 fifth pick in the second round, more than 20 picks higher than Li Xun.

During the draft, Jordan was invited into the small green room and was regarded as a rookie who had a chance to be selected as a lottery pick.

As a result, the first round of selection was over, and he was not selected until the second round.

This also allowed Jordan to set a record, the record for the lowest pick of a Green Room player.

It's just that this record was later broken by Manute Ball's son Pol Ball, and Popo was not selected until the 44th overall pick.

Currently in the Clippers, Jordan has averaged 4 minutes per game and averaged around 4 points and 4 rebounds per game.

It is more in line with his status in this round of show.

"Yes, it's him!"

Li Xun replied solemnly.

For a while Michael Curry was in a dilemma.

They want to strengthen now, and what they want is immediate combat power. What can they do with buying a second-round pick.

In his opinion, the only advantage of Jordan is that he is cheap.

The Clippers don't pay much attention to him, and it is expected that the trade will not cost much chips.

But cheap is cheap, buy useless things as decorations?
"Li, are you sure?"

Dumas couldn't laugh or cry because of Li Xun, wondering if Li Xun had any friendship with this second-round pick named Jordan.

"Sure!"

"His offense may not be as good as Okafor, but his rebounding and inside defense are definitely better than Okafor."

"We just need to give him a little time, he will definitely surprise us."

Okafor is really good, but compared to the two-time rebounding champion, two-time All-Defensive First Team and even the All-NBA First Team Jr. Jordan, it is still not enough.

Most importantly, Okafor is too expensive.

One Prince is not enough, and some extra chips must be added.

And Jordan is much cheaper, and there is definitely no need to exchange Prince.

This is the real reinforcement.

"But he's just a second-round pick."

"Okafor is second in the list, what we need is immediate combat power."

Vice President Kazik said with a frown.

Li Xun immediately frowned, why does this old guy have so many things.

"I'm also a second-round pick!"

In a word, it resounds loudly.

Only then did everyone remember that Li Xun sitting in front of them was also a second-round pick.

And it's the kind of second-round pick that almost lost the draft.

After pondering for a moment, Dumas made a final decision.

"Okay, then find a deal with the Clippers."

"Trade that DeAndre Jordan."

"I believe in Li Xun!"

Dumars can only manage the Pistons in an orderly manner, and he is not a mother-in-law, so he immediately decided to trade Jordan.

Originally, he was not sure about trading Okafor.

The odds of a deal going through are at best half, and it would require bleeding from the Pistons.

Now it is easy to buy the Jordan that Li Xun said, if it can be played, it will make a lot of money.

If you can't hit it, the Pistons don't lose anything.

In other words, the hope of winning this year will be much lower.

But Li Xun is still so young, he can't win the championship this year, and he can start all over next year.

The most indispensable thing in running a team is patience.

In this regard, Dumars is much better than most team general managers.
