Trouble after Chapter 172?

Washington.

Office of the Wizards Resident General Manager.

Ernie Grunfeld, who was sitting in his seat, looked at the second copy of Isiah Thomas's message in his hand?wrong!It should be the third trading plan.

He smiled mockingly, and then put aside the plan in his hand.

"Isn't this guy too stupid? He actually bit the king's deal so hard? Forget it, let's go according to the original plan?"

As a player of the same period as Isiah Thomas.The 50 superstar has always been the existence that Ernie Grunfeld looks up to.

After all, talent is really incomparable.

He averaged 17 points per game in his rookie season, and he only scored 12 points in his peak season.

After that, the achievements of the two in their respective careers are even more different!

So he can only look up to others.

But sometimes God is fairer!

As a player, he couldn't be compared with others!

But in 03, the two became the general manager of an NBA team at the same time!
Ernie Grunfeld feels that he is much better than Isiah Thomas.

See what he has done for the Wizards these two seasons?
When he first took office, he signed Gilbert Arenas for the team, a talent buried in the draft.

This season, he has averaged 25.5 points, 5.1 assists and 4.7 rebounds per game.It was simply a blowout explosion.

And Antawn Jamison, the best sixth man of last season.After being traded by him this season.Data has also grown.Averaged 6 points per game. 19.6 rebounds, 7.6 assists.

The operations of these two people undoubtedly proved his vision,

This can be seen not only from the data, but also from the fact that both of them may be selected for the All-Star Game this year.

Besides, under his insistence.He also called Kwame Brown, who is known as the top pick in parallel imports throughout the league.There are already some trends that are worthy of his selection.

He also averaged 11 points and 7.4 rebounds per game last season.

Plus Larry Hughes, who is both offensive and defensive in the team.

Ernie Grunfeld feels himself currently running the team.It's just perfect in the starting lineup.

Perhaps the only thing that is slightly lacking is the power forward position.

But this is also impossible.

The Wizards' cap space is too low.This season is only more than 4900 million.

It is simply impossible to get a stronger power forward.

And the impact of cap space doesn't stop there.It is estimated that they will not even be able to keep Larry Hughes next season.

After all, this is Larry Hughes' contract year.This guy has averaged 22 points per game so far. 6.7 rebounds, 4.7 assists.There is also a terrifying 2.9 steals.

It is true to treat the contract year as a contract year.

Watching Ernie Grunfeld was both exhilarating and painful.

Excited because such a player now belongs to their team.Who doesn't like such a comprehensive player?

pain?Needless to say?
Take data like Larry Hughes.If the Wizards want to renew his contract, they must provide at least an annual salary of more than 1200 million.

As I said just now, the current salary space of the Wizards is only 4900 million, and it will only be 5000 million next season.

The sum of the contracts of Arenas and Jamison has taken up nearly half of the Wizards' salary space.

If you give Larry Hughes another big contract.

What about the other dozen or so players on the Wizards?
So Ernie Grunfeld can only take it with a bitter heart.Putting Larry Hughes on the trading shelf, after all, it hurts sooner or later.

In addition, although the individual stars of the Wizards this season have performed very well.But the record is very hip.It is almost impossible to make it to the playoffs.

Instead of this, it is better to plan early.See if you can get any big fish with the Larry Hughes trade and get ready for the coming year.

But it surprised Ernie Grunfeld.He hadn't put Larry Hughes on the trade for a few days.

The Knicks sent a trade application.

"Using Hardaway and some cash to get Larry Hughes? Does Isaiah Thomas think the current "penny" is still the previous "penny"? Part of the cash? The Knicks probably have money left over if they are poor!"

As the saying goes, the matter has nothing to do with oneself, and it is held high, and the two are compared, and they are extremely jealous...

At the moment when the Knicks issued a trade application, Ernie Grunfeld evoked some unfair psychology.

"If the Wizards have the salary space of the Knicks? The boss is willing to pay the luxury tax? Then I can definitely build a dynasty team!"

Ernie Grunfeld is caring about cap space.

Isaiah Thomas slapped him in the face with money….

This makes the general manager of the Wizards, Mr., in an angry situation.There is the idea of ​​​​"taking advantage of the fire".

Of course, "robbing" is also a job that requires technical content.

If you go straight to each other and argue with each other.That seems a little too low-end.

Ernie Grunfeld is up for something high-end.

"Isn't there a saying in China called 'striking from the east to the west? I'll whet the appetite of Isaiah first? Then I'll get what I want step by step!"

Ernie Grunfeld's operation is actually not too complicated.

First, the Knicks' first trade plan was rejected.

In short, just want to get Larry Hughes with Hardaway and some cash?It's something that doesn't even have a door.

But after they vetoed.He didn't say it dead, but gave the Knicks a trade plan proposed by the Wizards.
That is with Arenas and Larry Hughes.Trade Marbury and Wang Xiaochun.

On the bright side, this trading plan is definitely a very sincere trading plan.

After all, the data of both Arenas and Larry Hughes are there.Strength is unquestionable.

In particular, it also emphasized the growth of Arenas.After all, this is the fourth season of Arenas.Is it very promising for the future?
In addition, in terms of the contract amount, it also matches.

Arenas' current contract amount is 960 million.Larry Hughes' contract amount is 550 million.

It just equalized Marbury's 1460 million and Wang Xiaochun's 73...

Is it both reasonable and reasonable?
If the average team would definitely agree, right?

But is Ernie Grunfeld worried that Isaiah Thomas will say yes?He really wasn't worried.

As I said before, he was just making a fuss, so how could he really trade Arenas?

Don't worry Ithel Thomas promises,
That's because he knows the importance of Wang Xiaochun to the Knicks.And Isiah Thomas's importance to Wang Xiaochun.

Trading Marbury might be possible.But trading Wang Xiaochun is absolutely impossible!

To be honest, for a monster-level monster like Wang Xiaochun...If only Larry Hughes or some corner players are used, they can be traded to the Wizards.Ernie Grunfeld is definitely more than willing.

After all, Wang Xiaochun's growth is also there.It should not be worse than Arenas.

But still the same sentence, my family knows my own affairs.

Not to mention the difficulty of the transaction, even if the transaction is over.Next season will be another contract year for Wang Xiaochun.With Wang Xiaochun's current state.and uniqueness in the league.

It's the same as failing to keep Larry Hughes.It's just a one-year delay.

So the Wizards want to afford it.

And the facts also proved Ernie Grunfeld's guess.

Sure enough, the Knicks also rejected the trade plan proposed by the Wizards.

But Wang Xiaochun has nothing to talk about.Marbury can talk about it.

It seems that Isaiah Thomas is really interested in Arenas.

But what's the use of Isaiah Thomas being interested?Ernie Grunfeld's ulterior motives are not here again.

"Marbury plus Joel Pulzbila? It seems that this guy still hasn't figured out the situation? We already have Kwame Brown, why do we need a lame substitute? Forget it, it's time to reveal the answer!"

Maybe Ernie Grunfeld already thinks the time is right.I don't intend to continue to quibble.

Directly sent two sets of trading plans to the Knicks.Let Isiah Thomas have to choose between these two options.It can be regarded as a poor dagger.

.........

Knicks general manager's office.

When Wang Xiaochun finished listening, the serious-looking general manager said the transaction partner.

asked in disbelief.

"Jamal Crawford has only been here for a few days, and he is about to be traded? What about the substitute? Can I take it alone? Also, if Tim Thomas is traded? Wouldn't I have no substitute? Is Bina Aikechi much worse than Tim Thomas? Can’t he be entrusted with important tasks at all?”

As I said before, the Wizards gave the Knicks two trading plans this time.

But Isiah Thomas only told Wang Xiaochun the second set of trading plans.

As for the first trading plan?It's not that the general manager doesn't want to say it, but that he doesn't need to say it at all, and he's ashamed to say it....

"Damn it! Now I understand! Is this playing tricks on me?"

The first set of trading plans is actually the Wizards' first refutation plan.

As long as Marbury and Wang Xiaochun.

If there was only this set of plans before this, Isaiah Thomas would probably only think that the other party was insisting on his trading partner.It will definitely not be related to the word play.

But after learning about the object of the second set of trading plans.It is estimated that even a fool can see it.What people originally wanted were the players in the second set of trading plans.Proposing the first set just left the Knicks with no options.

The first set of plans is that the Knicks send Marbury and Wang Xiaochun.The Wizards sent Arenas and Larry Hughes.

The second set of plans is that the Knicks sent Jamal Crawford and Tim Thomas.The Wizards sent Larry Hughes and Etan Thomas.

Is it obvious?The Knicks simply have no choice?
This is why their general manager looks serious.Maybe this is the only way to cover up his shame and indignation?

"Of course I also know that this kind of transaction is not worth the loss for us! But it is impossible to find a player as good as Larry Hughes in the short term! In terms of defense, Larry Hughes is better than Jamal. Claude is too strong! His arrival can make our starting lineup even more perfect!
As for the thing with a substitute?I think Larry Hughes can do it too!Of course, this also needs your help! "

Even if he already knew that he was being played.Can Seiya Thomas still want Larry Hughes?
After all, this is exactly what he said, and Larry Hughes can perfectly complement the Knicks' starting lineup.It can also take the starting defensive strength to a higher level.

As for the issue of substitutes.It can only be the same as before.Let's just settle down for now....

"Since you have made such a decision, of course I can't say anything? Can Tim Thomas go for Ethan Thomas? We seem to be at a loss, right?"

Did Wang Xiaochun see it?Trading Jamal Crawford is simply impossible to listen to your own opinions.His general manager has clearly made up his mind.

That is to say, on the issue of trading Tim Thomas, it is considered to be asking for your own opinion.After all, Tim Thomas is his backup.It is probably because I am afraid that I have some thoughts in my heart, so I want to solve it directly here.

... I don't know if Wang Xiaochun is a criminal with the surnamed Thomas.

His general manager has this surname.It was this name that he took the place of.His current substitute is also of this nature.If this set of deals is really done.Then his future substitute will still be this surname...

…Of course, now is not the time to talk about that.

Regarding the issue of trading Tim Thomas, Wang Xiaochun really has opinions.

From the perspective of the Knicks' bench lineup.

The strongest offensive player is actually Tim Thomas.Since this season so far, with limited playing time, he has averaged 12 points and 4.7 rebounds per game.

And if this data is placed on an ordinary team, they can actually be a starter.

There is such a strong scoring, ...albeit a weak defensive backup ....Of course Wang Xiaochun was reluctant to trade him out.

But Wang Xiaochun also "knew" that he was just a young player.

Mr. General Manager asked him for his opinion, and it was impossible for him to really push his nose on his face....

It can only be expressed politely.

"In short, I just think it's a bit of a loss for us to trade our Thomas for their Thomas! If possible, it's better to let them increase the size or change other players?"

Although Wang Xiaochun expressed it very tactfully.But the meaning is somewhat different from the understanding of their general manager.

Isaiah Thomas just thought that Wang Xiaochun was not satisfied with the substitute traded for him.

After all, Thomas is currently averaging only 6.4 points and 3.9 rebounds per game.It is indeed much worse than their Thomas....

But now the deal has entered to this extent.It is impossible to make any major changes.

I can only comfort Wang Xiaochun.

"How about this, let's make our starting lineup more perfect first? As for the substitute? I will definitely give you a perfect answer later! I will definitely choose according to your psychology!"

"...uh... alright!"

What else can Wang Xiaochun say?After all, he is just a "little player".So I can only nod.

And seeing Wang Xiaochun nodded.The general manager of the Knicks doesn't plan to grind anymore.

After all, he was also afraid that after a long time, he would be tricked by that guy from the Wizards again.

So the deal was sealed.

Wang Xiaochun also felt that he was done, so he left the general manager's office.

It's just that this guy definitely couldn't think of it.In fact, this matter is not over yet.At least it's not over with him!Not long after, because of this incident, he caused some troubles.
