Chapter 348: Fighting a Bicycle to a Motorcycle

Zhang Feng also heard from An Jiali that he knew that Divac and others were in a meeting to discuss the transaction, and of course, An Jiali was also his father Lana Divi where he got the news.

It is said that Zhang Feng should not ask about the management's deal, but he also knows that if he does not express his position, Divac and others should not make a decision, so he had to make a phone call and tell the management to 'don't ask for help'.

Why do you need to remind you so much?

Because the Kings management led by Divac often has brain-dead operations, Cousins doesn't talk about it, just say that the Kings have sent away White Edge and Thomas Jr. in a row, which is enough to compete with the Thunder executives for the 'most water management'.

And now at this point in time, it coincides with the whole world knowing that the king's management wants to trade, and Zhang Feng is afraid that Divac and others will be fooled again and make a brain-dead operation.

The best way to avoid brain-dead operations is to let others send them to the door, don't ask for help, as long as you don't ask for help, you won't expose your desires, so you won't fall into passivity.

As for how to trade, Zhang Feng didn't care, he didn't want any of his teammates to leave earlier, but the NBA is a business field, and transactions are inevitable, not to mention that fans strongly demand a trade.

And the most critical point is that not every Kings player thinks the same as him, everyone has a different position and different pursuits, and Zhang Feng can't make decisions for others.

For example, George Hill, he did not play very happily in the Kings, because of the presence of Zhang Feng, his playing time and play space have been greatly reduced, and for players of his age, he must play well before the end of this contract in order to earn a satisfactory 'pre-retirement' contract after this contract ends.

"I think we should change our thinking, we can't find a small forward who can fight Durant, and even if we do, it will pay a big price, and finding a small forward who can contain and defend well is our best choice, what do you think?" Putting down the phone, Divac looked around at the crowd and spoke slowly.

"Good idea, I've thought so, but I don't have the right person," Brondon sighed, shaking his head.

"It's simple, let's take a look at them one by one, didn't the "Bleachers" recently select the top ten small forwards of the season?" Divac pulls up a screenshot on his computer showing the stats of 10 small forwards.

LeBron, Durant, Antetokounmpo, and Jimmy Butler don't think about it at all.

From the fifth, it was Paul George, Anthony, Leonard, Porter, Middleton, Covington.

Leillard is not for sale at Spurs, don't think about it. Anthony defends well, but considering the attitude he has shown in his career, especially Jeremy Lin's time at the beginning, it is completely out of line with Zhang Feng.

The remaining Paul – George, Porter, Middleton, Covington – became targets for the Kings' management.

"The Middleton Bucks shouldn't let it go, after all, he's one of the few people in the Bucks who can shoot 3-pointers" Divac ruled out an option first.

"Then let's focus on Porter and Covington," Brondon continued.

"I'm bullish on Porter, his three-point is more accurate than Covington's, Zhang Feng is good at breaking, Porter can stand on the outside to open up space for Zhang Feng, and if the breakthrough fails, he can also pass back" Peja responded immediately.

"Don't get me wrong, our focus is on defense," Divac reminds with a smile.

"Defensively, Covington is better than Porter, he is averaging 1.76 steals per game this season, which is a very good statistic, and against Durant, steals are more practical than blocks" Brandon quickly took over the topic in order to avoid Peja's embarrassment.

"Gentlemen, why do you want to automatically exclude Paul George?" Divac asked suddenly.

"Uh......," Peja and Browndon fell silent when Divac said this.

In fact, the mentality of Peja and Brondon is easy to understand, the Kings let go of the star, and in the past ten years, they have never chased the star, and Guy should be the biggest player they have signed on the free market at present.

What is Paul – George? The Pacers were the dominant player in their prime, he once led the Pacers and the 'Big Three' Heat to 6 games in the Eastern Conference Finals, and even if he is now traded to the Thunder, his potential next home next summer is the Lakers and Thunder.

The king currently has salary space, and there is also an absolute superstar Zhang Feng in the future, but no matter how you look at it, he is a complete explosive household, and it must be very difficult to get the favor of the 'goddess'.

The bigger question is, Paul George is already a veteran, will he still have the patience to join the rebuilding team and repeat what he did with the Pacers?

Rumors have it that the Lakers will give him a super contract next summer and bring in Cousins to team up with him, and even LeBron is possible, but the Kings really don't have the strength to compete.

If the Thunder's Big Three run in this season is successful, he still has the possibility of staying with the Thunder.

"I understand your concerns, but I still want to give it a try, we should learn from Zhang Feng, he broke records one by one, there is nothing that cannot be done in his eyes, we should also think like this"

Divac was so resolute and decisive that Peja and the others were stunned.

"But what do we get in exchange? If you trade with the Thunder now, the Thunder side will definitely open your mouth, and Zhang Feng just told us not to ask for people," Brownon cautiously pointed out the key issues.

"It's a waste to have property, not to mention that Paul George has a salary of $19.51 million this season, and George Hill alone can be matched," Divac reminded the table.

$19.51 million, all it takes is one George Hill, and that's a good direction to think about.

"But Administrator Thunder is not a fool, how can he trade with us like this?" Brownon was puzzled.

"If George Hill were to be replaced with Paul George, Westbrook would definitely threaten management to leave," Peja also felt that Divac's proposal was inappropriate.

"What if the Thunder can't keep Paul George and he's going to leave on his own?" Divac said sheepishly.

"Then we can't compete with the Lakers or other teams, they must provide more chips than us" Brandon still thinks this idea is like a fantasy.

"Then we'll add a first-round pick!" Divac jerked to his feet, as if he had taken his attention.

In the eyes of Brondon and others, Divac is afraid of going crazy, but if you think about it, the Kings are No. 1 in the West this season, and they will definitely not get any good draft picks next year and the year after, and it may not hurt to send them out.

Seeing that everyone did not object, Divac knocked on the table again, "It's decided, send George Hilga first-round pick in exchange for Paul George."

As the saying goes, if you turn a bicycle into a motorcycle, as long as you bring in Paul George, won't the king take off immediately?
