NBA: Duncan feels uneasy coaching Warriors

Chapter 93 Deals are concluded one after another, shocking the whole network!
The reason why Su Chen insisted on making a trade plan for Josh Smith and Iguodala in such a hurry was mainly because it was cheap.

The Warriors and the Jazz Nuggets made a three-way deal, and Iguodala got it.

The price paid was Richard Jefferson, Andris Biedrins, Brandon Rush, and a future second-round pick.

If Su Chen hadn't used Richard Jefferson as the champion starter, Richard Jefferson would have been just a veteran who couldn't play in his original chips.

It can be said that the Warriors won the FMVP of the finals with almost no loss of combat effectiveness.

The reason why the later Warriors were called Cosmic Warriors was because of this transaction and Curry's child labor-level contract.

Even if Durant does not join the Warriors later, the Warriors' salary structure can still sign an All-Star player.

So for Yu Yuyong, it can be dismantled as soon as it can be dismantled.

It is impossible to destroy the Curry Thompson-Green Iron Triangle, so destroy it from these aspects. Even if Iguodala loses the first round, he will not give it to the Warriors.

Moreover, Iguodala itself is also helpful to the Timberwolves.

There is also Josh Smith, which is also very cheap.

It's not just that the Eagles dislike Josh Smith, even Josh Smith also asked to be traded to a competitive team to play.

The Pistons traded to Josh Smith for almost nothing.

Why did Su Chen focus on trading so much?
It's not because there are no star-level free agents willing to join in a bitterly cold place like Minnesota.

This year's free market is actually quite big.

Howard, Paul, have all become free agents.

Other famous free agents include Andrew Bynum, Al Jefferson, David West, Paul Millsap, Ray Allen and others.

But one of these players counts as one, and none of them can be attracted by the Timberwolves.

If the Timberwolves want to have star-level characters, there are usually only two ways.

One is trading, and the other is cultivating rookies by yourself.

Few stars are willing to take the initiative to come to Minnesota, a small ball market.

"Go and contact the Bulls, I am quite interested in Luol Deng."

Su Chen said to Dennis Lindsay.

lol Deng?

Dennis Lindsay checked the data. Last season, Luol Deng averaged 16.5 points per game. Last season, relying on the performance of Luol Deng and Boozer, they advanced to the second round of the playoffs.

However, the stars were not good enough and were easily eliminated by the Heat's Big Three 4-1.

"Ross will have to pay next season. Luol Deng can try to make an offer, but they don't have the opportunity to trade Luol Deng. If we want to trade, we may have to pay more chips."

Dennis Lindsey said to Su Chen.

"Of course there will be more lucrative bargaining chips. You can use Love to make an offer."

Su Chen said lightly.

Hearing this, Dennis Lindsay almost frightened the pen out of his hand.

Who is Le Fu?

在2011~2012赛季，乐福能拿下场均26+13的夸张数据，即便是上个赛季只打了18场也依然是那个华丽的两双机器。

Luol Deng has made two All-Star teams and the second team of the All-Defensive Team so far.

But Love not only has a good number of All-Stars, but also was selected to the second team of the best team and the rebounding leader.

From the perspective of honor alone, the difference between the two is half a grade, and from the data point of view, they are half a grade behind.

Su Chen actually tried to use Love to bid for Luol Deng. If he doesn't know how to play again, that's not how he plays.

"It's not a pure offer of Luol Deng, plus their third-year rookie Jimmy Butler this year is a necessary condition."

Su Chen smiled.

Luol Deng is fake, but Butler is real.

It's just that in order to balance the salary and relax the Bulls' vigilance, Luol Deng is the main body of the transaction.

Su Chen also thought about whether it was possible to offer Butler in the first round.

But now Butler has faintly become a trend that the Bulls are not for sale. Taking the first round of quotations without authorization can only be a warning.

Besides, Luol Deng is still at the peak of his career. From the perspective of a championship, a super 3D like Luol Deng will only be delicious.

If you use Love to quote, you will only make money and not lose money.

In the next season, Butler has ushered in rapid growth, and he can be selected to the level of the best defensive second team.

Although the Bulls have the idea of ​​​​training Butler, but with Love's delicious temptation, the Bulls should still agree after struggling.

After all, the Bulls are actually not that confident in Butler's talent. After all, Butler is only a player with the [-]th overall pick in the first round. Lack of talent is Butler's biggest shortcoming.

What is Love's current trade value?
You can look at the offers made by several teams to Love at that time.

The Warriors first opened out David Lee and Barnes' chips, and then the Timberwolves asked the Warriors to add more, and the Warriors really added.

Plus Thompson.

If it weren't for the Timberwolves and the Lions who wanted to chase Dream Green and draft picks, maybe the era of the Warriors would be destroyed before it was established.

Look at the later one, what Angie offered Love, who traded Gobert for robbing the Timberwolves for ten.

Angie was still in the Celtics at the time, and Angie was willing to use the No. 6 pick in the first round, plus Jeff Green, Sullinger and Brand Bass. In addition, if the Timberwolves were not satisfied, Angie was even willing to add Rondo. superior.

This bargaining chip may be worse than that of the Warriors, but this person is Angie, and it is enough for such a stingy Angie to pay so many chips to see Love's transaction value at that time.

And seeing more and more teams offer Love with richer bargaining chips, Angie was unwilling to quit.

At what price did the Cavaliers get Love?

The No. 2016 pick of last season, Bennett, and the No. [-] pick of this season, Wiggins, were used, and Love, who was only obtained in the first round of [-], was added.

At that time, Bennett hadn't been completely wiped out. He had only played for one season. It was a scratch award but not completely scratched.

If it weren't for the Pacers, it would be impossible to trade Paul George, and the Pacers already have West and Roy Hibbert, who showed his skills in the Eastern Conference Finals last season.

There is even a chance to quote Paul George with Love.

The Pacers almost overturned the Heat last season, and it is basically impossible to rebuild the lineup.

It's just a quotation for a first-class 3D like Luol Deng, plus a top defender like Butler, it's actually not a loss.

There is nothing you can do about losing money on the surface. If you don’t suffer on the surface, you can’t impress the bulls who have no trading ideas.

If these deals can be reached, Antetokounmpo's draft pick this year is not high, and it will be easy to win.

There is also Gobert, the most beloved of the Timberwolves, who is also very low in the pick, and it is not too difficult to get it.

Then the Timberwolves already have a lineup of Butler, Iguodala, Luol Deng, Antetokounmpo, Josh Smith, and Gobert.

Apart from the fact that Iguodala is 1 meters tall and Gobert is an insider, these two cannot trigger the fetters of the striker.

Everyone else can trigger the fetters of the striker, but Butler is 2 meters.

With the advent of the small ball era, it is definitely right to have more strikers.

"Butler?"

Dennis Lindsey also came out, and what Su Chen really wanted was Butler.

"By the way, you can also get me Middleton, who can be traded by the Pistons."

Su Chen said to Dennis Lindsay.

Dennis Lindsey is a little unfamiliar with the name Middleton, so he has to check the information.

Middleton, the ninth overall pick in the second round, came off the bench in 27 appearances for the Pistons, averaging 6.1 points per game.

It's too easy for this kind of player to trade, and Dennis Lindsey agreed casually.

He didn't bother to ask Su Chen why he liked her.

"Nick Young of the 76ers, go ask the price. They are trading Nick Young recently. If it is cheap, they will get it."

Su Chen continued to Dennis Lindsay.

Dennis Lindsey continued to take notes with a blank face.

It seems that the workload is quite large.

"Oh, what about their chips?"

Dennis Lindsey was reminded of that question.

"There are no non-sale items, and they can give them to whoever they like."

"It's okay to keep Rubio."

For the Timberwolves veteran, Su Chen only ordered Rubio.

Rubio is a traditional point guard. Sometimes it is good to let him play as a substitute to sort out the team.

And Rubio's salary is not high, just over 300 million, no matter he is a starter or a substitute, it is very easy to use.

And it's not a must for Rubio. If the opponent insists on biting Rubio, then he can also consider giving it.

Even Love has been traded, and these old Wolves players have nothing to keep.

As for the problem of too much tacit understanding of new players, there is no need to worry about this.

After discussing for a while, Dennis Lindsey was also a little tired.

Su Chen only talked about his feelings, and he was still required to do everything.

This is no way.

After all, Su Chen is just a tactical commentator. He can formulate a direction, but he can't do the specific operation.

After all, there are a lot of things to consider in the transaction, such as salary balance, draft picks cannot have this clause and that clause year after year.

Professional things are left to professional people to do.

He is only responsible for formulating a plan for picking up leaks.

"Well, that's probably it."

Dennis Lindsay closed his notebook.

Su Chen's series of requests made him really tired.

Pick up the water glass and drink some water to moisten your throat.

"Oh, one more thing, help me get a higher first-round pick this year."

Su Chen said to Dennis Lindsay.

puff!
Dennis Lindsey, who was drinking water, was so startled that he spouted water.

"Just to get these transactions done, all the assets we can use are almost moved. Where can we get the assets to do the first round?"

"If you want to talk about the second round, I can also tell the boss directly that it's okay to spend money to buy something."

Dennis Lindsey was speechless.

Are you really treating him like a donkey?
The key is to make the first round out of thin air, donkeys don't have the ability!
"Don't get excited, don't we still have Derek Williams, we can use him and our future first round to change the first round."

"And the requirements are not too high, just top ten."

"As for if conditions permit, it would be better to trade our second first-round pick a little bit up two or three places."

Su Chen chuckled.

Derrick Williams was selected by the Timberwolves with the second overall pick in 2011.

In the last season, he was able to contribute an average of 12 points and 5 rebounds per game, which is a scratch but not completely scratched.

Because his efficiency is not very high, but the talent is really talented, and still has a certain training value.

The Timberwolves have two first-round picks this season.

In fact, if the second first-round pick is not traded up, it is almost possible to get Gobert.

But Su Chen was worried that because of the butterfly effect, he would take away the player he liked from a certain team, and the second choice would be Gobert.

Therefore, it is safer to trade slightly higher.

"Do you really want to move Derek Williams?"

Dennis Lindsey asked, frowning.

If you want to use Derrick Williams, plus you can use the first round in the future, then trading a top ten pick is not a problem.

And this price tag has overflowed, it is completely possible to pull a three-party deal, and sign the Timberwolves themselves in the second first round to the upward trade.

"Do I seem to be joking? I signed a betting agreement to make it to the playoffs."

Su Chen smiled helplessly.

When Dennis Lindsey heard it, he also felt that Su Chen was not messing around.

And don't dare to mess around.

Su Chen has entered the league until now, regardless of how he is the coach of the championship and the general manager of the Timberwolves.

In fact, Su Chen didn't get much money at all.

When the Warriors won the championship, it was still a cheap assistant contract.

As the general manager of the Timberwolves, he only signed a one-year contract.

With the experience of messing around in the Timberwolves, Su Chen's reputation in the league has also improved, and basically no team will ask him to be the head coach.

"Okay, I'll try to do what you want."

Dennis Lindsay nodded.

He can give advice, but he can't make decisions by himself, otherwise he will have to leave with Su Chen if he doesn't make the playoffs.

Since Su Chen was responsible, he didn't care so much and went all out to talk.

"I'm looking forward to the new season more and more."

Su Chen was sitting in the office, lying on a chair and smiling.

It has been a while since Su Chen served as the general manager of the Timberwolves.

During this time, Dennis Lindsay was exhausted, not only calling everywhere but also flying around.

Since the trade plan given by Su Chen is basically the side that suffers from the Timberwolves, the other teams feel that there is an advantage and don't take advantage of it.

Most transactions are relatively smooth.

It's just that these deals haven't been officially announced yet, but they're almost there. Su Chen feels that it won't be too late to make an official announcement after all the negotiations are finalized.

"Su, Iguodala's deal has gone wrong, and the Warriors have added chips."

"It seems that the Warriors knew that we were competing with them, so they increased the price directly. Now the Nuggets are sitting on the ground and raising prices."

Dennis Lindsey had a call.

After hearing this, Su Chen didn't speak immediately.

He didn't know if it was because the Warriors wanted Iguodala especially, or that Lacob was targeting him.

But no matter the reason, the Timberwolves want to win Iguodala is not so simple.

"The Nuggets let us add something."

Su Chen said slowly.

"The Nuggets asked us to add Rubio, which is simply a robbery, or we don't want it."

Dennis Lindsey got mad when he said that.

When the Nuggets saw that the Warriors and Timberwolves were coming to grab Iguodala, they directly raised the price of Iguodala.

Rubio's current transaction value is still very high.

Although he was selected with the fifth overall pick in 2009, Rubio did not log in to the NBA until the 2011 season and has currently played in the league for two seasons.

Can contribute 10 points and 8 assists per game, and also average 2.3 steals per game, which is quite a talented traditional point guard.

Su Chen clenched his fists. If it was normal, he wouldn't be a bird if the Nuggets robbed him.

But Iguodala can't let the Warriors get it, especially if he formed a striker team, Iguodala can defend his own arrows alone.

Both the Timberwolves and the Warriors are in the West. If they want to rush out of the West, the Warriors are a powerful enemy that must be faced.

Giving Iguodala to the Warriors is tantamount to being an enemy.

"Out!"

Su Chen gritted his teeth and said.

"Huh? What happened?"

Dennis Lindsey didn't react for a while.

"The Nuggets want Rubio, then give him Rubio, and the Warriors will let him if they want to offer a better bargaining chip."

Su Chen said with a cold snort.

Regardless of whether Lacob is targeting him or not, he will definitely not give Lacob such an easy way to get Iguodala.

After he added Rubio to raise the price, if the Warriors still want to force a change, it will hurt the system.

The Warriors want to get Iguodala without hurting their muscles and bones. How can there be such a good thing.

"Ok."

Dennis Lindsay shook his head helplessly.

Of course he didn't know that Su Chen's goal was never the playoffs, but the finals.

In Su Chen's eyes, the Warriors are the biggest opponents in the West.

Rubio's three-point problem and insufficient defensive size are actually average in the small ball era version.

Don't worry about not having a point guard.

In this new striker lineup, there are actually quite a lot of ball-holding points, and there may even be cases where the ball is not enough.

It's just that without a traditional point guard, there will be fewer tactical options, but that doesn't matter.

A few more hours passed.

"The Warriors have no more changes, and our deal with the Nuggets has been reached."

Dennis Lindsay reports to Su Chenhui.

"Very good, thank you for your hard work."

Su Chen also breathed a sigh of relief.

It seems that in his first contest with Lacob this time, he was the one who won.

It's just that the Nuggets, the middleman, are cheaper and let him get some benefits.

But next season's Nuggets won't even be strong enough for the playoffs, and Su Chen doesn't bother to argue with them, so let them have fun with Rubio.

A few days later, most of the Timberwolves' transactions were completed.

then.

Timberwolves' trading information began to refresh the trading market information column.

First, the deal of Josh Smith was exposed, but this deal was relatively cheap, so it didn't attract much attention.

But immediately, Iguodala's robbery deal was released.

Suddenly there was an uproar.

"Hey! The trading chips are already enough, why add Rubio?"

"Iguodala averaged only 13 points per game in the Nuggets last season. Do you still think he is the little AI of the 76ers?"

"It is said that because the Warriors participated in the price hike, the Timberwolves were forced to raise the price by one Rubio."

"The Nuggets have won this wave!"

"Su Chen, an amateur general manager, was targeted by Lacob when he debuted for the first time. It seems that Lacob has a grudge about Su Chen's running away."

"A high-quality 16+8 insider like Pekovic was traded just like that."

"Hasn't Kirilenko been traded out? I don't know what Su Chen is thinking."

"It seems that Su Chen's trading ability is not one-tenth of his coaching ability. The Timberwolves have suffered a big loss this time."

The Timberwolves immediately became the object of ridicule across the league.

Even the Timberwolves fans were afraid to speak at this time, and were quietly ridiculed by fans of other teams in the league.

Most Timberwolves fans also feel that their team has indeed been robbed in this deal, and it is really hard to tell.

If this matter can still make Timberwolves fans swallow their anger.

The next blockbuster trade directly shocked the entire league.

"The Timberwolves Bulls Deal Has Been Done!"The Timberwolves sent Kevin Love, Luke Ridnour, the No. 26 pick in the first round, and got Luol Deng and Jimmy Butler, the Heat's No. 20 pick in the first round. "

Lindsay had an extra Reynolds, and then exchanged the first round pick with the Bulls.

Su Chen is satisfied with this deal.

Although Gobert was originally No. 27, because he disrupted the draft order, the Timberwolves' No. 26 pick may not be able to sign Gobert.

That is the most beloved Gobert of the Timberwolves, ten for one Gobert!

But after hearing the news, even the Timberwolves fans who swallowed their anger have turned against the management and scolded the management.

It was just too bullying.

Wouldn't Su Chen be happy if he didn't squander the Timberwolves' fortune?

Such a prodigal?
But for other melon-eating fans across the league, it brought them joy.

Although it looks like three for three.

But in essence, it is a one-for-one exchange between Love and Luol Deng.

"Hahaha, I have a suggestion. If you really don't like Love, you can put it on the shelf to see how much other teams like Love."

"Lol Deng proved last season that his offensive ability with the ball is really limited. His suitable position is still a first-class 3D position. He replaced a 3D with a double-double machine."

"Being robbed by the Nuggets, it can be said that Su Chen made a rookie mistake as a rookie, but this deal is not something that can be forgiven just because he is a rookie."

"The Bulls are too strong now. After Rose paid, they have a lineup of Rose + Love + Boozer. A powerful Eastern Conference has begun to take shape."

"Don't underestimate Reynolds, he still has firepower averaging more than ten points per game, which can supplement the scarce firepower of the Bulls' substitute."

"Did Su Chen accept some benefits from the Bulls and plan to join the Bulls directly next season?"

"The Timberwolves have become the biggest loser, but fortunately they still have Derek Williams, who can be trained well."

"Now the Timberwolves can only practice Derrick Williams more. Although his performance was not very stable last season, his talent has been shown."

The transactions exposed by the Timberwolves one after another have fallen into a situation of ridicule on the entire network.

Fans of other teams were watching Timberwolves' jokes wantonly.

Except for Bulls fans.

Bulls fans are thanking the Timberwolves at this time, calling the Timberwolves a benefactor-like existence.

Last season, Luol Deng attacked with the ball, and his poor performance in the playoffs made many Bulls fans belittle.

Now that he has been directly upgraded from Luol Deng to Love, coupled with Rose's comeback, the Bulls have transformed into a championship contender team.

Such a team's offensive talent is second only to the Heat's Big Three in the East, and that is the youngest MVP Rose!
With a second-in-chief like Le Fu as a helper, it's like a tiger with wings added!
However, some other teams in the East scolded the Timberwolves one after another.

For example, the Pacers, who reached the Eastern Conference finals last season, originally had a super team like the Heat in the East, but now they are funded by the Timberwolves to form another super team.

Many Eastern teams have complained about the behavior of the Timberwolves.

Now the consolation for the Timberwolves fans is that they still have a second place to practice, and they can look forward to it.

Rubio and Love were traded, and neither of them had much potential to tap.

If Josh Smith had potential, the Hawks wouldn't be so cheap.

After Iguodala left from the 76ers, his offensive level has basically declined, let alone expectations.

Not to mention what Luol Deng said, just look at the reaction of the Bulls fans now, it can explain the problem.

As for Jimmy Butler.

At first glance, the data is mediocre, and then the pick is at the end of the first round, no data and no talent.

After trading a large number of people.

Now that the Timberwolves enjoy watching the game, they will also see if Derek Williams will evolve.

Maybe, under Su Chen's system, Derek Williams' talent may not be inspired.

Timberwolves fans knew that after Su Chen became the Timberwolves coach, those who had never watched the Warriors playoffs made up for it.

Timberwolves fans now know that although Su Chen is incompetent in trading, they still recognize his level as a coach.

Let Su Chen practice Derek Williams' three-pointer, and at the same time cooperate with Derek Williams' explosive physical talent, it is still very easy to complete some down cuts.

At the same time, practice defense, then Derek Williams can serve as the best end point in Su Chen's tactical system.

Quick offensive and defensive transitions are also something that Derek Williams' physical talent can achieve.

Now the Timberwolves fans are really comforting themselves, expecting that Su Chen can train Derek Williams, and even play the eighth-ranked first round on this basis.

Timberwolves fans think it's acceptable.

This is also a Timberwolves fan. If it was a Knicks fan or a fan of another giant team, they would have to scold Su Chen now.

As fans of this perennial fishing team, the mentality of Timberwolves fans is pretty good.

Even though they have been ridiculed by the whole network, Timberwolves fans are still comforting themselves.

She was even convincing herself that she would forgive Su Chen.

Dennis Lindsey began to sweat after seeing some comments from Timberwolves fans.

Because just now, he had negotiated Derek Williams and exchanged it for a high draft pick.

I don't know what the Timberwolves fans will think when they know the news?
Dennis Lindsey has decided that when the official announcement is made, try not to let the staff not advance his name.

He didn't want to be angered by the fans. He didn't make the deal in the first place, he was just trying to make a move for Su Chen.
