NBA: Start with 20 billion, buy the Knicks

It's even a bit wasteful.

A super draft, after all, George doesn't have so many high-ranking teams wanting him.

This is just right, it is very likely that George + Haishuai will have a double harvest, or the second-round pick will not need to be bought with money. The second-round pick that was originally intended to be given to Jiangsu Jiangnan Iron and Steel was bought with money.

This saves trouble, and this No. 3 pick is considered to be the best use of everything.

……

The nba official website updates the new trends in the free market:

"The Timberwolves traded with the Knicks, the Timberwolves exchanged the No. 5 pick + No. 17 pick for the Knicks No. 3 pick + Tim Thomas"

ESPN updates free market news:

"Knicks free market first shot!Veteran Tim Thomas was traded! No. 3 lottery is voluntarily rejected! "

After the two parties signed by fax, the news came out soon, and they didn't know what kind of plane the Knicks were going to make.

David Stern even called to insinuate:

"Don't you guys want the higher the draft pick, the better? Don't you want the No. 3 pick?"

"Two are fine."

It's not easy for Sean Marks to say much. In fact, it seems that this year's draft is very hot, but the owner's appearance is not as exciting as last year's.

The fact is also true. Many industry insiders are very optimistic about the rookies this year. In the eyes of Jiang Chao, it is just a cloud of the past.

Chaoshen Forum, Reddit, Chaochao Moments, Weibo have reposted.

The fans started the Tucao mode:

"What's the situation? Last year, the boss wanted a high pick, but he doesn't want it this year?"

"Return favor???"

"Hahahaha, I saw this trick last year. Last year, the Knicks traded players + draft picks for higher ones, but this time they traded for two lower ones."

"Veteran Tim Thomas still has oil."

"It is estimated that the Timberwolves want a particularly good rookie."

"It won't be Cousins. I think their boss likes Cousins' character very much, saying that he may become the next generation of wolf kings."

"Love: I should be in bed?? Meow meow?"

"The Knicks' operation this time is very mediocre. This year's draft is quite awesome, and there are senior talents in any position."

"Yes, this year is a rare year where there are talents at every position, so the first few picks are very sought-after, and every team can select players that are lacking in the team."

"The Timberwolves probably want Wesley Johnson, it's impossible to want Cousins."

"I don't know if Wall will fall."

"If Wall falls, the Nets must choose. This is a man comparable to Rose!"

"5+17? Why do the Knicks want these two picks?? There are not too many rookies."

"Isn't this the expulsion of a veteran!"

Here Tim Thomas has been frightened for a year, and finally waited until this moment. When this moment really came, he was not particularly sentimental, but took the initiative to run to Jiang Chao's office to hug him.

"The Timberwolves may give you more opportunities. We Knicks, you can't play much time. It's not good to delay the afterglow of your contract year." Jiang Chao is telling the truth. The Knicks have no room for Tim Thomas. Tim Thomas himself Should be clearest.

"Okay, you guys work hard next season!"

"Baibai~" Jiang Chao gave him a set of Chaoshen sports equipment as a gift.

And Liu Yan and others in the office also saw Jiang Chao's changes within a year. Now that breaking up with the players is no longer a player cursing and blocking the door, everyone is basically amicable. This is also Jiang Chao's performance of convincing the crowd.

……

Indiana.

Bird Bird, who was watching the rookies in the joint trial training, suddenly received a call from the boss:

"The Knicks traded for the No. 17 pick!"

"Um????"

Bird is now very sensitive to the No. 17 pick. For the past ten days, he has been using his relationship to check the players that the Timberwolves want to choose for the No. 17 pick.

Because the first-round pick in their hands is the Knicks' No. 18 pick!

Then he also saw the news that the management sent him.

I Cao? ? ?

"You stab me in the back????"

Brother Bird was immediately angry. Does this mean that he played the walker in the applause?

Uncle Psy was very angry, and the consequences were serious.

After scolding the junior Sean Marks, he asked Jiang Chao to call him by name.

"What are you doing? What do you mean??"

This is also for all Pacers fans.

You have already won the bet, is the 17th pick the player who wants to kill me or what?

You must know that the outside world does not know whether the Timberwolves want to trade with the Knicks or the Knicks took the initiative. Isn't this disgusting from the Pacers' perspective?

Jiang Chao: "Don't worry, I won't rob you. I promise to give you advice and I won't talk nonsense. You just sit still and try out casually. I will give you the best advice on the day of the draft, or I will tell you now I'm afraid you won't be able to hide it."

"No, how do you explain this today?"

Jiang Chao snorted speechlessly:

"Is there any explanation, Sampson took the initiative to contact us, and they happened to only have the 17th pick."

"Okay, let me tell you, if you dare to lie to me and choose my players, even if I come back in place, I won't make you Knicks feel better."

"Fuck... Then I really look forward to your comeback, or I can really choose the player you want." Jiang Chao smiled directly, not afraid of any threats at all.

Forcing the king to come back, can't this be full of attention?

King Wang almost broke the defense angrily, looked at the two defenders on the field and said:

"Let me tell you, I want to choose Eric Bledsoe and Bradley, don't move these two!"

"Okay, okay, see you at the draft."

Jiang Chao hangs up the phone after exchanging some pleasantries. The king's vision is really good. These two are two of the rare guards who played in the 10th season. One is blood cloth, James on the guard line.

One is a super defensive player, the kind that defends at the t0 level. If the Pacers really choose one of these two, it would be pretty good.

But if that's all, it will definitely not bring qualitative changes to the Pacers, because whether it is Bledsoe or Bradley, the fate behind is quite outrageous, and winning the championship is always one step behind me.

If you really want to give advice to the Pacers, Jiang Chao will definitely give that kind of final advice, and the role of Big Bird Bird, an insider mentor, must also be played.

……

With the network for the Knicks' first action, there is a lot of discussion.

The Knicks' internal players and rookies in the joint trial training are also talking about it, including Bledsoe and Cole Aldridge, all thinking that the Knicks choose themselves.

Hayward and his team are also extremely nervous. The Knicks management has not given them an accurate answer. They love and hate the Knicks like licking a dog, but there is no way. It's just the head coach, he can only comfort Hayward to believe in the process.

Copy Jiang Chao's chicken soup and finish.

While the Knicks players were guessing about the rookies, they had already started to gather for training. As a big mouth, Harden also revealed early that he had received Jiang Chao's true 5 strokes.

And he also knew that Jiang Chao's 5th pick should be given to George, after all, he taught George 3 tricks.

"What, for George?"

"I have a request. I didn't expect that Paul George has been practicing in various gymnasiums in New York recently."

Curry: "I met it last time, and he hasn't played with us yet."

"The Kansas Five Tigers are too fierce this year." Ibaka is very optimistic about Cousins, because Cousins ​​dunked Ibaka twice in a training game. He was very impressed with this player and was very strong.

"Sure, Wall's speed, I think it can match Rose, will he become the next Rose?"

"Will the Wizards rise like a bull?"

"Anyway, it has nothing to do with us. We train hard. If we want to win the championship, we must be worthy of any team."

The big names in the free market are also talking about it, and they are all watching the drafts of each team. If they choose a rookie in their position, they will have to weigh whether to talk to this team.

Warcraft's agent said directly: "If they choose a forward, we won't consider it?"

Celtics general manager Ainge:

"What kind of plane is this Knicks, I can't understand it at all?"

……

When the outside world was guessing, Jiang Chao was already chatting with the Jazz.

The chatting process was also very smooth.

Because Jazz head coach Sloan took the initiative to chat with Jiang Chao, what he meant was that they were going to give up Boozer.

Then they need to recall veteran Okur.

"I won't give it to you." Jiang Chao thought to himself that even if you Deron come to change, I won't change it. AK47 is fine, but obviously the Jazz will not let Kirilenko leave.

"That's not what it means..."

The old man Sloan finally made Jiang Chao understand what they meant by insinuating.

The Knicks signed 1+1 contracts with Okur and Turkoglu, two Turkish players. There is a high probability that the two will not leave the Knicks this year.

Sloan also made a phone call from Okur, and he will not jump out of the contract next season and will continue to play against the Knicks.

But what about next season?

What Sloan means is that you don't renew the contract with Okur in advance, let him enter the free market at the end of next season, and the Jazz will sign him.

If Okur is a free agent, he will definitely choose the Jazz first. After so many years of affection, the Knicks don't have so much room.

"Oh, I see what you mean."

Jiang Chao didn't expect Okur to be so loved by Sloan, but indeed, Okur's defense is much better than Boozer's, and his shooting posture and accuracy are also very stable in key rounds.

As for Boozer, it seems that he will go to the Bulls this offseason. It is normal for the Jazz to let Okur retire for a year after the downhill.

Not counting retirement, Okur's shooting percentage in the Knicks is a career high, and it is understandable for Okur to bring an inside line when the Jazz rookie is not very good.

As for whether the Knicks need Okur in the next year?If it is cheap, it will naturally be needed. At that time, it will be enough to compete with the Jazz. Renewing the contract for many years in advance will actually not be given.

(ps: Renewing the contract in advance means that the team gives priority to renewing the multi-year contract in advance during the period when the player is on the team. Generally, this kind of contract has a lot of money and a long period of time. It belongs to the emotional and financial guarantee of excellent players and the home team, so that other teams can only do nothing. with.)

This kind of contract is generally something that player agents and team management will discuss throughout the season, and the core players that can be signed are basically.

Otherwise, most of them renew their contracts at a low price after testing the waters after free agency and finding that the market price is lower.

So the Jazz are afraid that the Knicks will renew Okur's contract for another four or five years if they get excited, and it will be difficult to directly provide Okur with retirement until he retires.

After all, this lunatic boss likes to give long-term contracts. If he really does, the Jazz management will regret it to death.

Last year, it was impossible to keep Okur because of the salary explosion. This year, if Boozer and the others choose to let go, the space for next season will be much better. What about the mother team?

Jiang Chao also understood this feeling, but his tone was calm.

If you want to make a request from him, what can you do if you don't leave something behind.

As he spoke, he looked at the Jazz's pick this year.

After reading it, he directly said to Jazz:

"How about this, I will replace you with the No. 5 pick and the No. 8 pick and the 12th pick in the second round. The only requirement is that you don't choose Gordon Hayward, is that okay?"

Sloan was stunned for a moment, and asked the general manager next to him to come over and talk with him.

He originally wanted to talk to Jiang Chao as a senior, an old coach.

But I didn't expect Jiang Chao to discuss with Jazz?

This sudden coquettish flashed old Sloan's waist!

General Manager Zanick nodded again and again:

"No problem, Wesley Johnson must be robbed at the fifth pick! Isn't Hayward your rookie by default? No team will choose him."
