NBA: Start with 20 billion, buy the Knicks

"Are you sure you are not old and young?"

"No matter how old I am, I also want to fight immediately to keep my record."

Jiang Chao shook his finger. High-salary players such as Eddie Curry and Mobley in the team are the most difficult to deal with. It may have to wait for the transaction value to increase after the start of the season.

Then try to get Yao Ming and other instant combat power after balancing.

"Well, boss, you are too unpredictable, but we have enough space." Sean Marks also remembered the first round of swaps he made in the morning, which actually means that they will compete with the Pacers next year.

The best thing for Max to do is that the Knicks have a lot of salary space this year, and after trading these three people, they may even go to the poor line.

Therefore, it is very OK to be able to parachute an All-Star in the mid-term.

The remaining people are not considered rubbish contracts, but there are many sick and ordinary players.

In fact, quite a few Knicks executives have their hearts set on Yao Ming. The contract that is about to expire is also from the same country as Jiang Chao.

"Well, today is a good start."

Jiang Chao didn't expect President Pu to ask Du Hong today. Oh, forgot, Westbrook hasn't shown the potential of a triple-double king yet.

This also makes Jiang Chao ready to tap more potential of the players in the team, maybe they can sell for a good price.

"And these are all things I plan to do in the future, take a look."

Jiang Chao handed his scouting report to Sean Marks. Since they are both the general manager of the team, they must communicate with each other.

"Hiss...boss, do you really want to do this?" Sean Marks was stunned when he saw that he would leave 3000 million yuan for a behemoth next year.

"Well, it's my goal to directly compete for the championship next year."

"The rest of the team turned out to be on your shelf."

"Youth storm, everything must start from scratch."

"Okay."

"Don't let Curry know that we also got the No. 3 pick. I'm afraid he will misunderstand."

"Hahahaha, I understand."

The two are mysterious in the dark light, indeed, if Curry knows that Jiang Chao has the No. 3 pick, his team will definitely ask Jiang Chao to choose Curry safely at the No. 3 pick.

Because the reputation of Tanhualang is much louder than No. 8, all of these will affect Curry's interests.

For the sake of safety, Jiang Chao must reserve this lottery for Harden.

Although Harden pulled his pants in 2022, Jiang Chao will still choose to enter the league for the first time. The template is Kobe and Ginobili's left-handed offensive shooting guard James Harden!

At this time, Brother Deng was not the porcelain king who glared at the master, but an offensive king whose idol was Kobe, and his style of play was mid-range and back-to-back.

But now the foul-making ability of this big butt has actually been reflected.

In the freshman season, James Harden averaged 17.8 points per game and 73 steals, the highest in the division this year. The thin version of Deng Ge also appeared on the cover of "Sports Illustrated".

In his sophomore season, Harden averaged 20.1 points, 5.6 rebounds and 4.2 assists per game, and his shooting percentage reached 50%.

After 1995, only five college players had such all-around numbers, including Wade and Brandon Roy.

This season Harden has walked to the free throw line 270 times, averaging 7.6 free throw opportunities per game.

It is a good thing to be able to draw fouls, which shows that Deng stays up every night to read the league rules.

Next, Jiang Chao needs to guard Kardashian and prevent him from gaining weight wantonly. His butt can be big, and he can’t even run. No one wants you to defend against Brother Antetokounmpo in a low position in the future.

"Shhh, it's time for the draft."

Sean Marks didn't even tell the two of Stevens, so there were extra troubles.

The last few days must have been mysterious.

A wave of wretched development.

Let's talk about Harden + Curry!

If you really get these two players, Jiang Chao feels that they can be trained into the playoffs with five or six blue-collar players.

One day and one penalty day, two MVPs, the combination of the first shooting guard and the first point guard of the new generation, the combination of blacksmiths, can they not be strong!

Jiang Chao really wanted to take a look at the pairing of irons in 09.

At that time, the spring breeze will be proud of the horseshoe disease, and you can see all the flowers in Chang'an in one day!

The Knicks' actions in the early stages of the draft are basically over.

Stay tuned for this year's draft at Madison Square Garden to begin!

"Hold on and watch me carry."

Jiang Chao returned to the apartment late at night to stabilize everyone's mentality in the management group.

It doesn't matter whether he is a master of chicken soup or a master of cake painting.

That was his real show that day!

Chapter 62: 50+7+9, awesome potatoes

Oklahoma City.

Prosti and the deputy general managers around him high-fived.

He was also relieved.

They didn't know that each other was running in both directions, and the Thunder was actually very willing to make this deal.

The Thunder management headed by Mr. Pu is actually trying to prove himself, and the small ball market also needs to have a spring.

The performance is bad, and Durant has practiced after getting unlimited fire rights in his rookie period. It's time to get a record.

For a newcomer to the league like the Thunder, fans still have to speak for themselves!

As for Harden?Loved it!

A low-profile version of Ginobili in the template, but after all, it is impossible to become the unique Manu

There is Wilson Chandler who got the right to fire in the Knicks last year and practiced it. With Aduwei Shao, he is very fierce on the outside.

President Pu and Coach Brooks originally wanted Harden to be a shooting guard like the sixth man. If he cooperates with the starting team, he will definitely not have enough possessions. Therefore, the best way to solve this problem is to exchange for 3 senior blue-collars.

They can talk about this with Durant and Westbrook. After all, the three strong players have come, so it is not impossible to let the core of the team know in advance.

But Durant and Harden communicate very closely. This guy loves to play social media too much, so let's wait for the draft.

Deputy general manager: "The Knicks probably want Harden too. The boss has a good vision."

"I said a long time ago that this boss is smart, so we will make serious deals with him."

President Pu: "I am now officially announcing that the goal of the Thunder next year is to play in the Western Conference Finals!"

.......

One day later, the Thunder management came to New York first.

The Knicks, as the host, did not allow them to stay in the hotel arranged by the NBA. Jiang Chao arranged for them to stay in the five-star Crown Hotel, and invited President Pu and others to watch the finals G5 together that night.

This kind of treatment is also available to the Thunder, and it also expresses the meaning of friendly cooperation between the two teams.

With Kobe finally going crazy, Ariza made a key three-pointer and Warcraft missed the equalizer with a low post. Howard's journey to the finals for the first time came to an end.

"It's still laughable..."

President Pu frowned.

Jiang Chao actually laughed, it really is a happy beast at this stage, in the end Warcraft and Kobe hugged with a smile, not at all reconciled.

"Play basketball and be happy."

Jiang Chao didn't say much, in fact, Master Huo was still conscientious in the later stage, but now he is indeed not very good at mentality, and it may have something to do with the Magic lineup.

During the Finals, Warcraft averaged 24.7 points and 14.2 rebounds per game. This is definitely the most dominant center after O'Neal.

And compared to the little emperor in the east, Howard is now the first to shoot all over the world, building a team around Warcraft alone.

What Jiang Chao was thinking in his heart was such a peak monster. Adding a guard like Curry with a slightly stronger ability to attack autonomously would make the difference a long time ago.

One-star shooting is still suitable for backcourt players, and the inside line is too difficult.

"It's a pity." Sean Marks likes this kind of defensive iron gate very much, it's a pity to think about it.

Thunder boss Clayton Bennett: "Unfortunately, if you sign over next year, you have this space."

Everyone knows that Old Downey cleared a lot of space for the Knicks, just for the big fish whose contract expires next year.

But now Jiang Chao actually has nothing to do with the players, and he is also a rookie with the Thunder, and he can still catch big fish next year.

Sean Marks also practiced Tai Chi: "Let me be confused, is the little emperor or a monster?"

Mr. Pu suddenly turned to Jiang Chao who was lying on the sofa: "Boss Jiang Chao, who do you like?"

Jiang Chao yawned, and always fooled: "Stoudemire and Anthony, I'm their fan."

D'Antoni slandered from behind: "I believe you a ghost, your boss is very bad."

If you really like Stoudemire, how can you not like him, the coach who takes Stoudemire to run and smash Huashan.

&……

…………

With the end of the finals, the draft is officially scheduled to be held in New York three days later, when ESPN will broadcast it live across the United States and in 3 countries around the world.

Several big things have happened in the past few days.

There have been personnel changes for the Suns.

The old Donnie Walsh, who was fired by the Knicks, went to the Suns to replace the young general manager Steve Kerr.

Boss Sun's words were still hard to hear: "Go to TNT and continue to be a commentator. We need results, and we don't need you."

Kerr's short stint as general manager is over.

Congratulations from many Knicks fans.

Sure enough, it was impossible for a big shot like Old Downey to retreat behind the scenes. He was at the general manager level everywhere, and some people wanted it.

Old Downey is full of ambitions, and his goal for the new season is to bring the Suns back to the playoffs and help Nash back to the top!

Nash, Stoudemire, Marion and other players gave full support.

This can be regarded as slapping Jiang Chao in the face.

But Jiang Chao didn't care at all, he took office as soon as he took office, and he and the sun had no plans to make a deal.

Some of his supporters also felt that since he was engaged in a youth storm, then Old Downey must be inappropriate.

Sean Marks called Cole, who was temporarily unemployed, and said that you are free to come over and let's chat.

Cole said that after the draft, he would come to New York to chat, and now let the Knicks concentrate on the draft.

The league's major bosses and general managers came one after another, as well as more than 40 players who participated in the draft.

Players will wait to be selected in the small green room, while the executives will quickly operate in the small black room that cannot be seen behind them.

All of a sudden, bigwigs gathered in the New York City circle.

I have to say that a certain 175 Drew is a marketing genius.

Knicks player Nate Robinson participated in the Rock Park Streetball Challenge held by the professor at this time.

He slashed 50+7 assists+9 rebounds in the holy land of streetball, shocking the New York basketball circle.

There are many executives and scouts of various teams off the court, and they all saw Nate's crazy offensive performance.

You must know that this venue is a place where folk rumors that Kobe would not be able to come, and James would not dare to come.

You can score 50+ in Madison Square Garden, but it is absolutely impossible to kill 50+ in Rock Park!Those who can be killed will be famous in history.

Before the draft, Little Tudou obviously wanted to tell Jiang Chao, and all the teams, how strong he is!He is still that fierce offensive genius!

"Wow, is this hype trying to keep us from trading him?" D'Antoni said.

"Thank you, the transaction value has increased a lot."

Jiang Chao smiled slightly.

Of the four heroes blocking the door, none of them will stay!
