Chapter 0315 - Low-key reinforcements! Deluxe Battleship Upgrade (3rd Update!) Ask for a commuter pass! )
"Trade me!" Billups said to Ujiri, the general manager of the Nuggets.
Grief is greater than death, and Billups doesn't see any hope in this Nuggets team.
Ugeri was stunned at first, but then he figured it out, and decided to rebuild it anyway, so why keep Billups? Let him go, Ujiri decided to be a favor, "Where do you want to go?" ”
Billups was also confused, and honestly, he really hadn't thought about the past.
"Go to a team that can compete for the championship! Thank you! Billups said.
Billups was also young and frivolous, he thought he could make Anthony's prodigal son turn back, but there was no way, Anthony's obsession was too strong, and the Nuggets would definitely be no fun if they continued to fight like this.
Billups believes that Anthony will understand some truths in the future, but Billups is no longer young, and he can't accompany Anthony through this formative period.
……
"I'm sorry...... We don't need any transactions right now. "Are you kidding? I won't offend Lin Yi at this point in time, Donnie Washh decisively hung up Ujri's phone.
And now, Ugeri is in trouble.
Billups is 34 years old this year, and his average of 14.7 points and 4.9 assists per game this season is low-key excessive, and there are a bunch of starting guards in the league who can play this data, so Nuggets general manager Ujiri inquired around and found that Billups' contract is a big problem.
Billups is interested in some strong teams, but where does the space for these strong teams come from?
The main one is a veteran who is worth far less than many young and promising players, which is the consensus of the league's uniform group.
If Billups' contract is at the end of his term, some underdogs may trade him and then cut him, but Billups' contract doesn't expire until 12 years, which is embarrassing......
Ugery can't give Billups away, and even if he does, you'll have to send us something!
In Linyi's previous life, Anthony and Billups actually got the most valuable Gallinari and Wilson Chandler and the Knicks with a 2014 draft pick and two second-round picks......
You must know that the melon in this period is the starting small forward in the West, if you look at it aside...... Billups is more like the Nuggets sold to the Knicks.
It can't be helped, the team that wants Billups doesn't want to spend a lot of money, and that's the most embarrassing part of Billups' contract, which is why Ujiri called Donnie Walsh.
Because the Knicks have salary space.
"Hey...... How can this be explained to Chaunse? "Ujiri has a headache, Billups has made it clear that he wants to leave, and the Nuggets are disheartened, how can this be played?
……
"Huh? Wait......" Donnie Walsh, who hung up Ujri's phone, suddenly remembered something, and he took out his notebook, which contained the list of targets that Javier Stanford had told him that Lin Yi was interested in.
There's Billups right in there.
Donnie Washh took a deep breath and mustered up the courage to call Lin Yi.
"Hello, Mr. General Manager."
Listening to Lin Yi's amiable tone, Donnie Worth breathed a sigh of relief, "Lin, the Nuggets want to trade with us with Billups. ”
Lin Yi on the other end of the phone was stunned.
Aha?
Hey......
"Are you sure it's just Billups?" Lin Yi held his breath.
"Yes, Lin." Donnie Washh said.
"What chips do they want?" Lin Yi asked.
"We had a first-round pick from 2013 or 2014, plus two role players." Donnie Washh said.
Poof, dare to love the nuggets, this is a big sale?
Lin Yi quickly analyzed a wave in his mind.
Because he planted the flag, it must be complied with, so first of all, does the trade get Billups a huddle?
Of course not, Billups is only a 34-year-old veteran, and his stats are extremely low-key, but his unpretentious style of play is exactly what the Knicks need.
If Lin Yi remembers correctly, 10/11 and 11/12 are the last two seasons in which Billups has played relatively well, and if Lin Yi's plan for the summer is successful, next year's helper will also need a mentor, just in time to perfectly succeed Billups.
D'Antoni is also worried about the No. 1 position of the Knicks, after all, Livingston's playing time is limited, and Lu Wei can only be used as a master of chaos, if he does not share the pressure of Lin Yi's organization, the Knicks can only compete for the championship can only be a pipe dream.
Billups has won the FMVP, and his experience is a perfect addition to this young Knicks team, he is the big heart at the No. 1 position, and what is the Knicks most worried about?
It's salary space!
As soon as the sharks retire next year, the newcomers selected in the Knicks draft are estimated to be not enough to trigger the minimum salary standard, the Knicks are not afraid of Billups's 10 million contract, he will be 36 years old when his contract expires, and he can still serve as the mentor of the helper next season, you must know that in Lin Yi's grand blueprint, the most lacking thing for that helper is organization and defense.
Lin Yi kept calm, Billups is a good reinforcement for the Knicks, and he doesn't have to worry about being infamous by the group, the most important thing is that Billups's low profile will not prevent Lin Yi from continuing to brush up his reputation.
"Donny, you ask which of our two role players the Nuggets want." Lin Yi said to Donnie Walsh.
"No problem!" Donnie Wash's happiness is broken, he, the general manager, is finally useful, and it sounds like Lin Yi is very happy?
It's great, as long as Lin Yi can be happy, Donnie Washh will be satisfied.
You know, this kid's energy is really terrible, and the owner Dolan was still sighing a few days ago, the money that the Knicks made last season was equal to the sum of the previous three seasons...... To be able to make fussy, paranoid New York fans fall in love with him, this son......
……
Ujeri felt like he was in for a twist and turn, and after receiving a call from Donnie Walsh, he bargained with Donnie Walsh.
Ujri's liver hurts a little, "I can't give in anymore, Donnie, your first-round pick in '14, Belinelli plus one of your backup point guards, that's not too much to ask, right?" ”
As soon as Donnie Washh saw Ujerry's bottom line, after texting Lin Yi with another mobile phone, Donnie Washh agreed to Ujerry's offer.
Knicks send: Belinelli, Beverley, 2014 first-round pick.
Nuggets send: Billups.
The deal was quickly reported to the league, and when Stern learned of the news, not only did he not object, but he approved the plan as soon as possible.
Stern knows that Lin Yi lacks helpers, so from this point of view, Stern is definitely a hardcore Kobe, because if Stern didn't think Kobe was too strong, I would ...... Well, of course, that's more complicated and can't be said at all.
Billups is very low-key, and the Knicks lack a point guard, which is a perfect match for the Nuggets and the Knicks.
After the deal was completed, Ujiri informed Billups as soon as possible.
"Thank you!" Billups thanked Ujerry and then packed his bags and prepared to go to New York, he said goodbye to his Nuggets teammates one by one, when he learned that Billups was going to New York, Anthony was envious, but when he thought that he could attack next to cool, Anthony was not so envious.
This season, the competition for the second and third positions in the Knicks is too fierce, and it is not a pity to trade Belinelli, Lin Yi comforted Belinelli, and Belinelli also understands that if he wants to get a good contract, leaving the Knicks is also a good choice.
As for Beverly...... There is no way, this mad dog will take at least 1 or 2 seasons to practice, and Lin Yi's mentality has changed, causing the Knicks to need immediate combat power even more.
Lin Yike won't be a bitch and set up an archway, in this cruel and ruthless alliance, even if it is himself, isn't it all a bargaining chip on the shelf?
Only when you reach that peak can you turn your hands into clouds and turn your hands into rain.
Beverley was not angry, because he was already grateful to Lin Yi for staying in the NBA, but he had a long future, but he couldn't be with you, and Mad Dog booked a ticket with Belinelli with a little regret.
The news that Billups was sent to the Knicks by the Nuggets made those championship teams anxious, because the Knicks have officially joined this season's championship group!
The coaches of these championship contenders are not stupid, and they know that the weakest link of the Knicks has been upgraded.
A luxury battleship that is about to set sail!
