Chapter 479 Unexpected Joy (Deacon Plus)
After thinking about it, Su Yang first decided on one thing, that is, the king must need a 3D player in the backcourt.

The reason is simple. If you get Curry, with a defensive 3D backcourt, it can help Curry share the defensive pressure and avoid the backcourt combination of Lillard and CJ McCollum. The offensive firepower is super strong, and the defense is super stretched. Difficult to win and easy to lose.

If Curry is not acquired, Thomas Jr. may have to be promoted as the starting point guard, or pursue Lowry, or even keep Vazquez. He needs a 3D backcourt partner, and the previously determined plan is to pursue restricted freedom Player PJ Tucker.

But the pursuit of Tucker may fail. The draft Smart has the highest priority and can be matched with multiple starting lineups.

As for LaVine, with Antetokounmpo and Cousins, the priority is very, very low, and the substitution is relatively high.

But as long as a first-round pick at No. 5, sending away Gobert, the future best defensive player, is really a bit painful.

"Let them add money!"

Su Yang said with a smile: "The 5th pick in the first round is needed, and the 35th pick in the second round is also needed. Anyway, we don't need to worry for now..."

Smart does what I want, Jokic and Grant do what I want, and all three are the best strategy.

Hinkie nodded, then said, "If we don't get Curry, what's our plan B, Kyle Lowry?"

"We can try to catch up, but we have very little advantage over the Raptors and Rockets. If Curry does not come, we will renew Thomas' plan in time. By the way, we will contact Sean Livingston in the free market. My relationship with Sean Very good, great advantage…”

Su Yang is really not confident that he will get Curry 100%.

After all, the Kings are a small ball market. Although the new media is very popular, it has not yet reached the level of breaking the geographical restrictions. Compared with the big ball market in Los Angeles, and the renewal of the Lakers Bird rights cap, the annual growth rate of 7.5% is 5 years. Contract, the only advantage is friendship.

There is no guarantee that Thomas Jr. can withstand the pressure of the team and insist on signing with the middle-class special case, which only costs 4 million in 2100 years.

That's real money.

In short, the plan must be complete enough to cope with various situations, so as to avoid thinking about it later and lead to missed opportunities.

"Have you ever thought about signing LeBron?"

Hinkie suddenly joked, "And Chris Bosh, and Carmelo Anthony, they are all superstars."

Su Yang chuckled, knowing that Hinkie was joking, those three were all players with more than 7 years of experience, the maximum salary offer contract required 30% of the salary cap, and the key positions also conflicted with Cousins ​​and Antetokounmpo, hitting big names Guards are the king's priority.

Besides, it is impossible for LeBron and Anthony to be interested in a small ball market like Sacramento, not to mention the boss is super strong.

"In terms of restricted players, the previously determined plan was to pursue the Suns player PJ Tucker. At that time, he was going to sign with midfielder Terry, but now Jr. Thomas has taken the initiative to accept the midfield exception. Does it need to be changed to salary space? ?”

Hearing what Hinkie said, Su Yang made a simple mental calculation: If Samir Sapp jumps out of the contract, the available salary space will be about 2000 million, and Curry’s maximum salary will be about 1576 million, and the remaining available space will be about 500 million, and there is still a chance to compete for the tower gram.

"Then stick to the pursuit..."

Su Yang made up his mind. After all, Tucker is more experienced than Smart. If he can catch up with Curry, it will be a more powerful backcourt combination. Unfortunately, the flexibility is a little bit less. After all, Tucker's size and skills , It is a little difficult to run and catch the ball.

"Our only advantage is the championship competitiveness. Tucker will definitely not have a championship if he stays in the Suns. We must focus on it."

Hinkie nodded again, and continued: "Assuming Millsap jumps out of the contract, we have enough salary space, free market recruitment goes well, and the Jazz accepts the No. 5 + No. 35 trade, then our main lineup next season...

Center Cousins, power forward Thompson, small forwards Giannis, Covington, Gay, shooting guard Tucker, point guard Curry, Thomas, relatively lacking shooting guards, power forwards, centers, draft and free market signings Those three positions are tilted. "

After the words fell, Hinkie was a little worried, probably because he was worried that he would not be able to find a suitable candidate in the free market and the draft.

Su Yang is not in a hurry, anyway, as long as there is no super accident, Smart, Jokic and Grant can be selected.

"Indeed, next, I will focus on arranging player trial training, you prepare for the potential Thompson trade, and more second-round pick trades, in case Millsap does not jump out of the contract, and then wait for the free market to open... "

Hinkie typed keyloggers, chatted about some small details, got up and left the boss's office, and started to get busy.

Su Yang also got up and walked a few steps, checking the news casually, and saw that the Spurs had already led the Heat 2-1 in the finals.

Just as he was about to feel sorry for the Big Three, there was a knock on the door. He turned to see Snyder, and immediately beckoned to come over and sit down.

"I received an interview invitation from the head coach of the Jazz. I have discussed it in detail and concluded it. I haven't gone through the formal process..."

Snyder didn't talk nonsense, and went straight to the point. He started from the Jazz's invitation to negotiate in the off-season, and said that the Jazz was ready to send a request to the King to interview him. Only Su Yang agreed. Then from next season, Snyder will be promoted to the Jazz. head coach.

"congratulations!"

Su Yang was not surprised, nor did he intend to force him to stay. He will not step down as the head coach for the time being. It is normal for Snyder to pursue.

After all, there are only 30 head coach positions in the NBA. Many teams have been occupied for a long time, and it is very difficult to be promoted.

Becoming the head coach is Snyder's long-term dream.

"I'm going to give you a present."

Snyder smiled: "I strongly recommend that the Jazz trade Gobert at a high price, because I know you are really optimistic about Gobert, and Gobert has also shown super potential, but I know that you have always disliked using low-mobility centers. so…"

"sure!"

Su Yang was overjoyed. He thought that the next negotiations with the Jazz would fall into a see-saw, but Snyder finally intervened to make things easier.

As long as the 5th and 35th picks are obtained, Nasmart and Jokic will be there, and the team's workload will be greatly reduced.

"Then follow the process..."

Between the words, Snyder chatted about the memories of working together in the past few years. Su Yang simply dug out the red wine in the office, toasted to celebrate Snyder getting what he wanted, and reminded Snyder that after going to the Jazz, It is entirely possible to let Gobert start in advance.

Before the two of them finished chatting, the jazz sent a formal interview request, and Su Yang and Xinji signed to agree.

A farewell dinner followed.

Early the next morning, the Jazz formally responded to the trade request and agreed, and the King reported to the league together, which was quickly approved.

WOJ followed up with the news, Twitter and other social platforms appeared one after another, and fans and the media speculated about the King's target.

At the same time, Su Yang arranged for Smart and others to try out. On the one hand, it is to follow the process, so that the team staff can do their jobs and avoid revealing their true intentions. On the other hand, it shows the importance they attach to Smart. It's troublesome to be stiff and unwilling to come.

Jokic’s draft work has also started. First, send people to Europe to secretly communicate with Jokic and his agent to clarify the king’s thoughts and arrangements. NBA, avoid signing Barcelona.

After making several arrangements, Su Yang was leisurely preparing to take a rest when the phone rang suddenly and the caller showed Chasing Dream Green.

Could it be that Green really took the initiative to vote?
Do you want to?
