Godfather of the NBA: Cutting Curry and creating a dynasty

Stephen Curry, the 75 greatest players in nba history.

Two-time mvp winner, 8-time All-NBA team (4-time first-team), the greatest three-point shooter in NBA history.

The absolute core of the Warriors dynasty, led the team to win four championships (although Yang Li doesn't know if he won the fourth time).

As for Blake Griffin, there is only one best rookie, and 5 NBA best teams (no team).

To make matters worse, Griffin never made it to a conference finals game.

If you don't open your eyes, you must choose Griffin.

but!

Yang Li has his eyes open, so choose Griffin instead of Curry?

Then I'm out of my mind!

Yang Li flipped through Miles' scouting report again, and saw a photo of a familiar Yi female singer, his eyes lit up again.

"Myers, what do you think of James?" Yang Li asked.

"Uh..." Miles was stunned for a moment, not because he was asked.

It's that he doesn't understand why Yang Li is interested in James Harden.

"Yang, I have to remind you." Myers said: "We already have Eric (Gordon)."

Yang Li nodded. He had opened his eyes, but Miles hadn't.

Although Brother Deng with a round face is also Brother Deng, there is still a certain gap between him and Harden.

If the situation is ideal, support Harden and play the starting backcourt duo with Curry.

With a few qualified strikers and inside players who can eat cakes, this lineup can compete for the championship in two years.

May I ask, who can resist a fantasy backcourt combination like Curry + Harden?

That...

Is there any way to select both Curry and Harden?

Yang Li carefully recalled the details of the 09 draft, and suddenly grinned.

Perhaps, the Timberwolves can send a warm message?

June 2009, 6, the day of the NBA draft.

Madison Square Garden was packed with team owners and managers who came to participate in the draft.

And the rookies waiting to be selected by thirty teams.

Yang Li walked in with a pretty blonde female companion in a low-cut evening dress.

This is Yang Li's current girlfriend, Kristen Stewart, who just won an award for "Twilight" last year.

As for how he hooked up with this young girl who was less than 20 years old, of course it was because of her money ability.

As a reborn, Yang Li knew very well that the "Twilight Saga" series was very profitable.

From the beginning of the filming of the first film, Yang Li took the initiative to find Mark Morgan for investment.

He only has one request, the heroine must be Christine!

In this way, he successfully won Christine's favor, and the two started dating logically.

The two held hands, looked relaxed, talking and laughing very intimately.

Yang Li is 1 meters tall, with a strong figure, handsome appearance and chic demeanor.

Together with the glamorous Christine beside her, they are simply a pair of peerless beauties.

Those young people who came to participate in the draft stared straight at the two walking hand in hand.

Behind the two of Yang Li is the new Clippers team manager Bob Myers.

At this moment, he has a dignified face, after all, today is a very important day for the Los Angeles Clippers.

The three of them were walking, and Yang Li's eyes suddenly lit up as if he had found a prey.

"Honey, go and wait for me first."

Yang Li said as he patted Christine's butt lightly, then got up and walked forward.

Christine smiled coquettishly and glared at Yang Li, then found her seat with Miles and sat down.

"Hi, Mr. (Clayton) Bennett, let me introduce myself, my name is Yang Li."

Yang Li walked up to a middle-aged white man, smiled and held out his hand.

"Wow."

Clayton Bennett was obviously a little surprised, and quickly reached out to shake Yang Li's hand.

"Unbelievable that the new owner of the Clippers is so young."

"Can I have a chat with you?" Yang Li asked.

"Oh, of course."

Clayton Bennett nodded, then asked:

"You hold the No. [-] lottery this year. I don't know who you are going to choose?"

"That goes without saying, of course it's Blake Griffin." Yang Li said.

"Of course, if it were me, I would do the same," Clayton Bennett said.

"However." Yang Li suddenly smiled, "You seem to need him more than we do."

Clayton Bennett was taken aback for a moment, and then smiled intriguingly.

"So, you want to make a deal with us?" asked Brighton Bennett.

"If I remember correctly, you are from Oklahoma." Yang Li did not answer his question directly.

"That's right." Clayton Bennett nodded.

"So, you need Griffin more than I do." Yang Li said.

Blake Griffin is an Oklahoma native, born in Oklahoma City.

At the same time, he was also a star player at the University of Oklahoma.

He won the Wooden Award and the Naismith Award, and was named the Player of the Year by the Associated Press.

It can be said that Griffin is the pride of Oklahoma.

What's more, the current Thunder team has Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook on the outside.

What they need is a strong inside player.

If Griffin can be obtained, then the Thunder's lineup will be neat.

It's a pity that they were not lucky enough to only get the third pick.

In recent days, Oklahoma fans have become more and more vocal about the Thunder trade to get the No. [-] pick.

It's not that the Thunder didn't contact the Clippers, but they were directly persuaded by Myers' lion.

The Clippers want Kevin Durant!

Of course, this is what Yang Li ordered Miles to do.

"First of all, Kevin definitely can't." Clayton Bennett said.

"Of course, what I want is the Thunder's No. 3 pick, No. 25 pick, and..."

Yang Li smiled, "The first-round pick for 11."

This No. 25 pick was traded from the Denver Nuggets, so it does not violate the league's trading rules for first-round picks.

"Oh hell!" Clayton Bennett's jaw almost dropped.

"Yang, you must be crazy!"

Three first rounds, including a No. [-] pick, just for a No. [-] pick?

What is going on in the mind of this young man named Yang Li?

He doesn't understand football at all!

If Yang Li knew what he was thinking, he would definitely say that he was the one who didn't know how to play.

This is the bargaining chip that was needed when the Celtics' No. 76 pick was replaced by the [-]ers' No. [-] pick.

It's just that in the end, only one future first-round pick was added.

"Sorry, excuse me." Clayton Bennett turned around and was about to leave.

"Father, we need Griffin."

A boy of eighteen or nineteen suddenly appeared and said to Clayton Bennett.

Clayton Bennett looked at his son Rudy Bennett and hesitated again.

Rudy and Griffin are college alumni. They have been saying since two months ago that Griffin is a talent that the Thunder must not miss.

"The No. 3 pick, plus this year's No. 25 pick, and... this year's second-round pick!" Clayton Bennett said through gritted teeth.

"Isn't this the same as exchanging your three picks this year for my No. [-] pick?" Yang Li shook his head and said.

"That's obviously not the chip I want."

"Rudy, you saw it too." Clayton Bennett said.

"I have tried my best. I can't overdraw the future of the Thunder because of Griffin. Three first rounds. This person is crazy."

"Mr. Bennett!" Yang Li called to stop him.

"Maybe, if you're worried about that, I can choose another chip."

"How do you want to trade?" Clayton Bennett asked, frowning.

"I'm the No. 1 pick this year."

Yang Li spread his hands as he spoke.

"In exchange for your No. 3 pick, your No. 25 pick, and... the right to sign Serge Ibaka."

"You're literally doing..."

"Don't worry, Mr. Bennett." Yang Li interrupted him.

"I can also provide you with a first-round swap right next year."

Clayton Bennett hesitated and called in their general manager, Sam Presti.

"We also need a 2010 second-round pick," Presti said.

Yang Li thought for a while, then nodded, anyway, the 10-year second-round draft pick can't pick any good players.

"Deal!" Yang Li smiled, and firmly held Presti's hands.
