I'm a big shot in basketball

"They want to use Stephen Jackson,

Exchange Murphy + the first round pick we got from the Bobcats, or use Artest as the main body to exchange,

I think we can try to negotiate, because after Yao Ming's big contract takes effect next year, the team's salary space is relatively tight. After we have trained Morris and Josh Powell, and we have Wang Zhizhi, we have sufficient inside manpower.

There is no need to keep Murphy, who started with $730 million, traded to get Stephen Jackson or Artest, and to avoid entanglement in the renewal of Posey and Josh Howard after the end of the season, they will definitely get high salary,

If we can't stay, we will be very passive..."

Sean explained in detail,

Su Yang thought carefully here,

It does make sense. Posey can jump out of the last year of his contract in the offseason and try to pursue a big contract in the free market. Josh Howard has already trained in the CIC. He is currently the first player in the 04 draft. It's hard to get a contract extension without 800 million at the beginning, but it can be used for an extra year, but by the off-season next year, the whole league will definitely be snapping up.

I don't want to spend so much money to force it to stay. The money must either renew Billups' contract or find a good point guard.

Therefore, taking advantage of the current Josh? Howard's highest value to trade is a very correct suggestion, and Sean understands it very well.

In comparison, Stephen Jackson can completely replace Josh Howard on the offensive end, and can surprisingly defend against a power forward like Dirk on the defensive end. If Artest joins, he will form a team with Garnett. Invincible defense is also terrible.

Anyway, it is stronger than the current lineup, and it can last a longer dynasty. After all, Jackson or Artest did not win the championship.

The only problem is that sending away a Bobcats first-round pick is equivalent to giving up the possibility of Durant or Curry.

Is that worth it?

While thinking about it, Su Yang asked, "What's the situation with the two players' contracts on the Pacers side, long-term or short-term?"

"Uh... wait a minute..."

On the other side of the phone, Sean quickly flipped through the documents, and then said: "At present, Stephen Jackson's annual salary is 560 million, which lasts until the end of the 08 season, and the last year is 630 million, while Artest's current annual salary is 680 million, which lasts until the end of 09. , 740 million in the last year, anyway, both of them are getting less money than Murphy at present, and even until the last year, they are getting less money than Murphy..."

Murphy was able to sign a contract with a starting salary of 730 million in the off-season, all thanks to his three-pointers and rebounding advantages. With the salary cap rising, a four-year contract is not expensive. The main contract of Artest was signed in 02. Jackson was signed in 04.

Anyway, if there is a transaction, there will be less money, more flexible salary space, and more operational initiative in the future.

But Yao Ming lacks a strong substitute, and at the same time loses the possibility of getting Durant or Curry, as well as short-term internal turmoil.

The key is to look at long-term or short-term,

If you only aim for four, five or six consecutive championships in the short term, the effect of trading Jackson or Artest will be better in theory.

If you want to maintain competitiveness for the next 20 years, theoretically it is better to play Durant or Curry. After all, there will be no outstanding team cornerstone in the next 10 years, 11 years, 12 years and 13 years. If you miss it, you will be equal to the Celtics. Miss Duncan.

It is also possible not to trade draft picks but not get Curry or Durant, but can also get Horford or Harden.

It's also possible to do nothing and win four consecutive championships first, but Jackson and Artest are also overdue.

It's all about long-term and short-term choices.

"Let's give up, let's go for the fourth consecutive championship first." Seeing Beyoncé waiting for him to get in the car, Su Yang stopped thinking about it, and first got the historic four consecutive championships. Anyway, Garnett still has one year left on his contract.

Hang up the phone, get in the car and go straight to Beyoncé's house.

This time I didn’t bring a gift for my father-in-law, so Su Yang was too lazy to worry about it. Anyway, as long as it’s less than 100 million US dollars, Beyoncé can buy whatever she wants, and she can ask Fina for reimbursement later. Of course, I'm too lazy to ask Fina for reimbursement.

Under Su Yang's suggestion, the three women worked together to set up a public account to deposit money in. Anything that was done in the name of the three women + Su Yang would be spent from that account first. Fina boldly deposited [-] million US dollars, Completely confirm the identity of the eldest sister.

Rushing to the old man's house, chatting about the economic trend as a routine, the old man boasted about his experience as a sales representative in the world's top 500 companies, talking and laughing with some big shots, Su Yang's scalp was numb when he heard it, he couldn't be bothered to agree with it, and wanted to brag ,

I also worked part-time in sales for an insurance company before.

On NO.17 of the next day, Su Yang drove Beyoncé to the Toyota Center to rehearse for the All-Star halftime performance, and chatted with Dawson who was about to retire. Unfortunately, Dawson brought Morey to the scene. The introduction said that Morey highly respected data processing.

"Hi, Mr. Su, I'm Darryl Morey, I really like your stay on the rocket's data website, I have studied it many times, I hope I have time to ask you some questions..." Between words, Morey He reached out, wanting to shake it.

"Really? I don't believe it?"

Su Yang didn't want to shake hands with Morey, "Then tell me how TPA data is calculated, and how to evaluate a player's strategic value through TPA data? And what kind of flaws are there in TPA data statistics? How should it be balanced?"

"Eh..." Morey was stunned on the spot.

Dawson was a little surprised, thinking that Morey was obviously being polite. Why did Su Yang react so strongly? He had never seen him make things difficult for others in the Rockets before. Could it be that there was something about Morey that dissatisfied him? way to hint at me?

"Haha, just kidding!"

Su Yang raised his hand and clapped with Morey, "Don't be nervous, I can't remember the calculation formula of TPA myself, anyway, it is automatically calculated by the program, and it should be Dawson's successor, now you are taking over, I subconsciously want to see it What's your style."

"That's good, that's good..."

Morey came back to his senses, quickly changed the subject, and praised Su Yang for making up for the loopholes in the Arenas poison contract, and for his excellent research on the labor-management agreement, "Such a case also inspired me, and made me understand that the labor-management agreement needs to be carefully studied .”

Su Yang chuckled, wondering if he wanted to show off that he could use the Arenas Clause to carry out the operation of the poison contract. This should not give Morey a chance to pretend, "You can make good use of the Arenas Clause. The salary increase in the first two years has a certain However, there is a loophole in the salary increase in the third year that is not limited. Go to the free market to sign players who are valued by the parent team but are reluctant to spend more money to keep them..."

In his previous life, Morey took advantage of the loophole in the third-year salary increase of the Arenas clause, and came up with the operation of Jeremy Lin's annual salary of 1500 million U.S. dollars in the third year. The same operation was performed by Asik. to steal people,

But the essence is still a gamble, taking advantage of the entanglement left by the parent team not wanting a big contract, if the desired effect is not achieved,

In the end, he had to be sent away with a draft pick. Morey likes to do that kind of chocolate carving work, which is purely laborious.

"Forehead…"

Morey froze on the spot again, trying to pretend to show off his research on the labor-management agreement, but he was rushed to say,

That TM is really uncomfortable!

Dawson saw that the atmosphere was a bit stiff, so he quickly changed the subject, praised Su Yang for his profound research, and then praised Beyoncé who was rehearsing for his excellent singing. Morey also echoed and praised Beyoncé for his wonderful performance. Su Yang laughed along with him. Twice.

Morey turned to leave,

Dawson looked around and found that no one was around, so he couldn't help but ask, "Do you have any opinion on him?"

Su Yang didn't hide it, "Except for being good at calculating and saving salary, his other skills are in a mess. You'd better suggest to Alexander that otherwise he will take over as general manager. Sam Hinkie and others can also do what he can do, trade. And the draft level is higher…”

Even if we put aside the issue of national position to evaluate, Morey’s operation level is not very good. Harden’s transaction is the brain damage of the Thunder management. They don’t want to give more money and did not exchange with Bill. One, the entire big contract locks up the space, and it is not due to Morey that he can reach the Western Conference Finals. Then he traded for Westbrook, a pure side effect, and the money saved is gone.

"Then I'll think about it carefully."

Dawson nodded solemnly, knowing that the people Su Yang likes may not necessarily be strong, but those who Su Yang doesn't like must not.

After chatting for a while, Su Yang picked up Beyonce after the rehearsal and returned to Katie's hometown to discuss whether to sell the house.

During the discussion, Sean called again.

"The Pacers played big!

They plan to use Artest + Danny Granger to trade Murphy + Josh + Bobcats in the first round of 07 + our own first round in 07..." On the other side of the phone, Sean was very emotional, thinking it was a A deal well worth considering in detail.

Hear Danny Granger,

Su Yang brushed aside Beyoncé who was showing off the new Victoria's Secret underwear, thinking that the potential deal would be even more tempting.
