I'm a big shot in basketball

On the afternoon of the [-]th, Su Yang arrived in Atlanta.

As usual, I went to the hotel arranged by the alliance to report to the hotel, incidentally took a photo of the promotional makeup, and then returned to the room to discuss potential trading plans with the general manager Gary Sean and the boss's special assistant Mullin, mainly related to Jamison.

This season has promised not to trade Jamison,

But it is still possible to send him away in the off-season, especially if Arenas has already promised to renew his contract, it will be a matter of time,

After all, the team still has four rookies Richardson, Murphy, Dayao and Prince waiting to renew their contracts, and Posey may renew his contract in the offseason. Sending away Jamison's tens of millions of contracts is the most correct operation. Jamison It can also get better development, a win-win situation.

Taking advantage of many All-Star executives coming to Atlanta, they can make contact in advance. After all, it is at the level of tens of millions of dollars. There are many things to consider in the transaction involving high-ranking draft picks. The Warriors and other teams need to set aside enough time.

In terms of potential targets, the teams that may make big deals mainly include the Bucks, Magic, Trail Blazers and Celtics.

The Mavericks may also make big deals. After all, the Mavericks have a bunch of rubbish contracts, and Cuban is addicted to food and likes to make a few blind operations.

But apart from Nowitzki and Nash, the Mavericks don't like any of them, and the two cannot be traded, so there is no need to talk about it.

"According to the plan we made last year with the All-Stars, we will strive to get Garnett this offseason, which is relatively difficult to operate.

But we can reduce the operational difficulty in other ways, such as deterring the possibility of the Timberwolves getting a strong player..."

Last year's off-season was the last year in which the Timberwolves were fined the first-round pick because of the yin-yang contract. After this off-season has the draft pick, it is also the last year of Trier Brand's big contract. The Timberwolves will definitely find a way to pass Trade, seek more powerful free agents, so as to improve strength and keep Garnett, and at the same time persuade Garnett to accept a salary cut and renew his contract in advance.

Because of the previous labor agreement, even if they are not star players, such as Danny Fortson and Dampier of the Warriors, they also like to sign contracts for 5 or 6 years, which makes it difficult for transactions to happen, and there are only a few players who can flow every year. indivual.

"We might need to be a little bit more evil..."

Seeing Sean and Mullin's surprised faces, they were obviously surprised by their 'containment' thinking, probably because they didn't expect that they were a little bit evil, so Su Yang directly pointed out: "Those who can talk about success and talk about it can't talk about it in the future." Besides..."

If you want to reduce the possibility of Garnett being retained by the Timberwolves, it is nothing more than not giving the Timberwolves the opportunity to get a great point guard and swingman.

Mainly, the Timberwolves own Garnett and Szczerbiak, a power forward and a swingman. It is almost difficult to trade and easily conflict with Garnett when the center is a favorite. The Timberwolves must be targeted for trade or recruitment Point guard and swingman.

"The Timberwolves can probably clear out a salary space of 1900 million. Our goal is to target those point guards and forward guards with similar salaries. By pulling three parties or giving advice, we can persuade or help them not to go to the Timberwolves..."

Hearing Su Yang's words, Sean and Mu Lin glanced at each other. Neither of them expected that Su Yang, who has always been upright, would actually do something like this. It is indeed a little evil, but in his position to seek political power, for the sake of There is nothing wrong with the Warriors developing better.

The key point is that Su Yang didn't engage in any illegal or criminal activities. It was nothing more than dividing the competitiveness of his opponents, and anyone could operate it.

It's just a question of whether it will work.

What's more, if the Timberwolves form a center lineup of Garnett + Szczerbiak + a powerful point guard + a powerful swingman + qualified blue collar, it will also be a great threat to the Warriors in the West. After all, the current lineup of the Timberwolves , Garnett can lead to the top six in the Western Conference. If Garnett gets the top spot, he will definitely be a favorable contender in the Western Conference Finals and must be killed.

What surprised the two of them even more was that from Su Yang's past speeches, it was obvious that Garnett was placed behind Duncan and Nowitzki, and he even looked down on Garnett, but he has been planning related activities since last year's All-Star , It shows that he is very clear about the distinction between on and off the court, even if he values ​​Garnett's historical-level defense ability, he has never been stingy in praising Garnett's defense.

I thought I was already familiar with Su Yang, but he was just a genius with super executive ability, but it seems that there are still many things I don't understand.

With trepidation, the two listened carefully.

Su Yang noticed the emotional changes between the two and didn't think too much about why. He continued: "Cassell from the Bucks, Sprewell from the Knicks, Turkoglu from the Kings, the three are players to be traded, Stephen from the Spurs "Jackson, the Clippers' Andre Miller as a restricted free agent, our own James Posey, those are the guys we're going to focus on..."

Sean and Mullin listened and memorized, thinking about how to perform the operation, gradually showing doubts and confusion.

How come the Bucks' Cassell, the Knicks' Sprewell, and the Kings' Turkoglu have all become players to be traded before there is any trouble?Does Su Yang have any undisclosed information channels?Or purely by analysis?

However, there is a high probability that Cassell will indeed leave the Bucks. After all, the Bucks have been rumored to send away Ray Allen, who could not agree on a contract. Michael Reid rebuilds the core.

As for Sprewell of the Knicks, if the transaction is normal, the Knicks have completely lost their way forward.

What about Jackson of the Spurs? I can't think of why. Of course, Jackson may test the waters of the free market in the face of contract renewal. Anyway, I believe that Su Yang will be done. Just follow the orders without losing anything, and build a dynasty.

The two reacted,

Su Yang saw it in his eyes, and guessed that he didn't know how to operate it. After all, as the general manager, most of the time he just competed with other teams. Plan A, Plan B, and Plan C did a lot of things, but it was true that it didn't cost money to do things. Play less.

"For example, Cassell is facing a contract extension after this season. Since he has already won the championship, his primary goal must be to go to a team that can give him the ideal salary, and the league lacks urgently needed point guards. Teams are nothing more than teams such as the Nuggets and Clippers,

The Nuggets are rebuilding and need a veteran to lead the team, and the Clippers are stingy bosses who don't want to spend $800 million to keep Miller.

Considering my relationship with the Nuggets general manager Vandeweghe and the Posey deal we had with the Nuggets,

We can completely suggest to the Nuggets in a friendly, sincere and practical way, to recruit Cassell in the free market with a contract at or above the middle level, or to sign first and then trade with the Bucks. The Bucks are eager to rebuild and don’t care what players they get.

If it is really necessary, we can help, give some innocuous second-round picks, and facilitate transactions.

If the Nuggets and Cassel and the Bucks do not succeed,

We also suggested that the Clippers go to Kassel. After all, Kassel only needs to start with 500 million, which is much more cost-effective than keeping Andre Miller. The plan to take a step back is to suggest a team with a lot of money like the Trail Blazers. signed Kassel,

Anyway, I would rather release Andre Miller, because Miller's agent publicly asked for a starting price of 800 million. The Timberwolves can use the space to grab it, but after eating it, they will not be able to get another good swingman, so Cassel It's very important..."

Sean and Mullin nodded again and again. They figured out how to operate. It was best to let the Nuggets take the shot. After all, the Warriors have cooperated with the Nuggets before and are easy to accept suggestions. Other teams are easy to doubt their motives: Why are you helping me?Are you cheating on me?

Su Yang then talked about the operation methods of several other players,

If you plan in advance, you can ask the Rockets to help you deal with swingers such as Sprewell or Stephen Jackson. Before the Rockets urged Dawson to re-sign Morris Taylor without a high-paying long-term contract, so that the Rockets have room to operate, and the Rockets also need swingmen.

Anyway, I don't need to say much about my relationship with the Rockets.

The foundation of painstaking efforts before is finally coming to real use. To be a big shot in the basketball world, you need to have connections.
