Chapter 224 Is it worth it?

In this playoffs, the situation of the Rockets and the Knicks can be said to be completely different.

The Knicks are ranked first in the Eastern Conference during the regular season.Directly from the first round of the playoffs to the finals.

The Rockets ranked fifth in the Western Conference during the regular season. They played 7 games against the Jazz in the first round, and then were eliminated!
It is precisely because of this that Yao Ming returned to China early, and while recuperating, he also prepared for his and Ye Li's wedding in August!

Yao Ming's situation can be regarded as a disappointment on the court, but a pride in love!
So he is still in a good mood!

It's a pity that his situation is different from Wang Xiaochun's!

Wang Xiaochun is outside the system, not in the Five Elements, so he can ignore or pay attention to many domestic affairs.

But he is just the opposite. People are in the system, and everything is restricted!

Take his sudden return to the United States this time as an example!
That's the message to the "Basketball Association"!Plus using his personal relationship with Wang Xiaochun!

Convince Wang Xiaochun as much as possible, and use the No. [-] pick in the Knicks' hand!Choose Yi Jianlian who participated in the draft this year!

Of course, in exchange, the Basketball Association promised that Wang Xiaochun would not have to participate in the basketball qualifiers for the Capital Olympics next year, and could just "check in" with his bags!

But obviously, Wang Xiaochun was pissed off by this so-called promise condition!

From his point of view, this is a threat!
To be honest, he really has no plans to participate in the qualifiers. It doesn't mean that he doesn't want to go, but that he doesn't feel the need to go!

With the country's current level of basketball, it is of course very easy to qualify for the qualifiers at home!

It can't be said that he was superfluous, but it was definitely superfluous... and he was suspected of being a bit of a bully!
The Basketball Association actually threatened him with such a ridiculous promise!It would be strange if Wang Xiaochun wasn't angry!
"I said Xiaochun! Don't be angry! The "Basketball Association" itself has no malicious intentions! They just want another champion in the country! It's just that there are no conditions that can be offered!
Besides, whether you agree to this kind of thing is not up to you!Don't take it to heart!We will compete in the Olympics next year! "

As the saying goes, every family has scriptures that are difficult to recite!

In the long run, the "Basketball Association" seems to be doing this for the sake of China's basketball career.

After all, through their "efforts", another world-renowned player will be born in China!That says a lot about the quality of their work!
But obviously they used the wrong method!

Thought a little nepotism would do the trick!
"Hehe, they are thinking very well! Don't they know that this year is a rare year for the draft? Indeed! Ah Lian's ability is indeed not bad! As long as they are trained well, it is definitely not difficult to survive in the NBA! But do they have any? Think about it! If in such a draft year, I use the No. [-] pick to select Ah Lian? Is that helping Ah Lian? It’s simply hurting him! I don’t know how these guys’ brains are so long. Regardless of the long run!"

Among the new generation of domestic basketball players, Yi Jianlian is the most outstanding, and Wang Xiaochun must admit this!But even though Yi Jianlian is top-notch, he has not yet reached the level of top-notch!

Taking ten thousand steps back, even if Yi Jianlian has reached this level!
But the choice also depends on the needs of the Knicks!
What the Knicks lack most now are inside players, and they have all types of players!
Those who can run and jump, those who can throw and defend, those with tonnage, and those with strength!is everything!
Besides, they all have contracts!Even Josh Smith has just reached a 4-year 4600 million intentional contract with the Knicks!

Now there is still room for Yi Jianlian!

Even if the Knicks want to choose an inside player, it is impossible to use the No. [-] pick to choose?

So the Knicks have no way to consider him!
"Okay, let's not talk about this, I have already brought it! How to deal with it is your business! But you must come back for my wedding! I will inform you when the specific date comes in August!"

After all, there are a lot of people here today, and it is impossible for Yao Ming to take up too much of Wang Xiaochun's time!Besides, he is a messenger!After the work is over, there will be nothing else for him!
And Wang Xiaochun is indeed very busy!
He just finished chatting with Yao Ming!
Pierce and Ray Allen are here!
Make Wang Xiaochun feel very strange?
Of course, Wang Xiaochun was surprised that the two of them didn't come to look for him together!
His general manager had already vaccinated him before, and Wang Xiaochun knew the purpose of the two of them!

What makes Wang Xiaochun a little strange is that these two people don't look like the bosses of the two teams at all.

More like teammates who want to play together!

When they were talking about the purpose of their trip!

Pierce is trying his best to persuade Wang Xiaochun to let the Knicks and the Supersonics trade picks with each other!
Ray Allen tried his best to persuade Wang Xiaochun, hoping that the Knicks would trade Rajon Rondo, who didn't get too many opportunities to play, to the Celtics!

The tacit understanding of each other, if Wang Xiaochun didn't know who the two were?I really thought the two had switched positions long ago!
Of course, even if what they say is extravagant!Wang Xiaochun's answer is always ambiguous!

It is neither agreeing nor rejecting!
After grinding until the banquet started, they broke up a little unhappy!

...............

A hundred-day banquet lasted for most of the day!

When the song ends!It can be said that Wang Xiaochun has gained a lot! ...It can't be said that it is his harvest, but the harvest of his second child!Nearly $300 million in red envelopes!Wang Xiaochun has asked Susan to set up a private account for Wang Kangkang to save it!
No way, this guy is so rich now that he doesn't care about his son's pocket money at all...!
After Wang Xiaochun was busy with family affairs, he was planning to go back to China according to the original plan!

However, because the Knicks accidentally won the No. [-] pick, and several Knicks players had some problems with their contract extensions!

This guy has to suspend his trip!After finishing these things, you can go home!

As the saying goes, this moment, that moment!
Isiah Thomas never thought of that!He was supposed to sit back and relax, but as soon as I made others laugh, my own joke came!
Almost all of the contract renewal issues that he thought would not be a problem had gone wrong!

Of course, some problems can be solved easily, that is, straight or not, but some problems are not just straight or not!

The first is Lagabel,

Since the three-point shooter was traded to the Knicks, he has played hard in the past two seasons.

After all, he has the strength to start, but has been doing things as a substitute.What more could the Knicks ask for?
But as the saying goes, people go to high places, and water flows to low places!
Being conscientious does not mean being content with the status quo!
I have been doing my best before, so there may not be any good opportunities!If there is any good opportunity, how can people give up easily!
At the end of this season, Lagabel is a free agent!It may be due to the fact that his personal ability has been fully reflected in the Knicks.

Then there will be more teams pursuing him!

First of all, the Suns are willing to give Lagabel a three-year contract of 2700 million!

And this contract is a full 500 million higher than the Knicks' original offer!
Of course, the Knicks can afford the price difference of only 500 million!

Just because you can afford it doesn't mean you can give it?

As mentioned earlier, the Knicks currently have a lot of rookies. As they continue to grow, the Knicks have to reserve contract amounts for them!

It's easy to give it now, but how to make up for it later is a problem!
Besides, there is still a question of cost performance!

Lagabel's position in the Knicks is just a three-point shooter after all, and his ability is not irreplaceable!
Take Brendan Roy as an example, this rookie has only played for one season, and his three-point shooting percentage is as high as 50%!This is still under the condition that the team does not have the right to develop!If you develop a little bit, it will only be more fierce!

So from the Knicks' point of view, Lagabel is only worth 2200 million.But this price is obviously unable to keep people now!

In fact, Lagabel's problem is not the biggest problem for the Knicks!

The biggest problem is Trevor Ariza!
As a "native-born" Knicks player.

The Knicks' investment in him is definitely not small!

Let him serve as the starting small forward since his rookie season!It must be regarded as a key training!

But the problem is that after so much training and investment, Ariza's ability is still a bit uncoordinated!

It is because they often play some results that are not as good as the substitute players!

Of course, this may also mean that the Knicks' realm is getting higher and higher!As a team with the strength to compete for the championship!Some of Ariza's lack of ability has been reflected!

It is precisely because of this that the requirements given by the Knicks are almost the same as those of Josh Smith!
This makes Ariza dissatisfied!
And his dissatisfaction made the Knicks even more dissatisfied!

As the saying goes, do not forget the well digger when you drink water?

"I thought this guy was loyal enough, so I didn't say anything about his ability! He is at that level, but he still wants a bigger contract! Okay, I want to see how big a contract he can get in other places !"

As the general manager of an NBA team, but also the general manager of a team with the strength to compete for the championship!
Isaiah Thomas has a temper too!

Trevor Ariza's move obviously pissed him off!So this guy is a rare tough one this time!
Regardless of Wang Xiaochun's polite words...!It looks like he is ready to trade Ariza!

"You just...!"

In fact, when Wang Xiaochun heard the general manager say this plan again!
This guy is like a mirror in his heart!

Because his general manager is too obvious in what he does!It is obvious that he is going to make room for the No. [-] pick...!
I guess I didn't know what to do before, but now I know how to do it!
In fact, Wang Xiaochun and the general manager thought of some things together, so they let it go!

The same goes for Lagabel and Trevor Ariza!Wang Xiaochun is helpless and has no good solution!
But there are some things he can't understand!
"I won't talk about the two of them? But why trade Massing Gortat? And I haven't heard of any team that has the intention to trade him? Why is it on the board?"

It may be a habit!

In recent years, whenever the Knicks have related transactions, has Isiah Thomas not vented to Wang Xiaochun?
But there is no such thing, that's why Wang Xiaochun asked!
Naturally, his general manager would not hide it from him, that is, he told Wang Xiaochun the truth!
And when Wang Xiaochun finished listening, he was a little dumbfounded!

Here's how it works!

Since Gasol came to the Knicks, the chemical reaction with Wang Xiaochun is obvious to all!
It is not an exaggeration to say that the two of them can play an OK combination!
Since it can achieve such good results, Isiah Thomas naturally wants to make this combination last in the long run!
Needless to say, Wang Xiaochun, the cornerstone of the Knicks, can only be in the Knicks in the future, and will only be in the Knicks forever!
Maybe even if he, the general manager, is gone, Wang Xiaochun must still be there!
But Gasol is not easy to say!After all, he only signed a 4-year contract with the Knicks!And now it's halfway through!
Coupled with Gasol's goal is very clear, people just want to win the championship!
Although the Knicks now have the strength to compete for the championship, but strength does not mean they can win!
In case the Knicks keep standing still for the next two years!What if Gasol had a better goal?What do people not need to do?
So Isaiah Thomas wants to play the family card!
The family card mentioned here is a real family card!
And this card is Marc Gasol, Gasol's younger brother!

Born in a basketball family, Gasol is not the only one with good talent in his family!His two younger brothers are said to be quite good too!
And their second child, Marc Gasol, participated in this year's NBA draft!

Isaiah Thomas probably took this into account, so he wanted to be in the same position again, wanted to trade Marcin Gortat, and then wanted to get Marc Gasol to the Knicks!
Then use this card to keep Gasol!

Of course, this is just Isaiah Thomas' personal vision!

So from Wang Xiaochun's point of view, it looks a little funny!

After all, who can say whether such a ghost operation will be effective?But it was precisely because of uncertainty that Wang Xiaochun didn't know what to say!I can only continue to be speechless...!
.........

Although the above situations are a bit sudden, they are still within the controllable range of the Knicks!
One or two players will not hurt the Knicks at all...!
However, after such a delay, it just happened to delay the start of this year's draft!

Wang Xiaochun also went to the scene to see and see!
After all, from the time this guy entered the league to the present, regardless of the fact that every draft is held in front of his house, this guy has never been to the scene!
Taking advantage of this opportunity, coupled with the Knicks holding the No. [-] pick again.

This guy also appeared in this place that so many people yearn for!
Prepare for on-the-spot operation and experience!
