Chapter 372: Crazy Knight Boss

Since Zhang Feng called out Paul George in a high-profile voice a week ago, the two have not interacted with each other. During that time, Paul George rested two games due to an inexplicable injury, but then miraculously recovered and was named an All-Star as a substitute for Cousins.

Although he deserves to be selected as an All-Star off the bench, there must also be the influence of Wei Shao's voice for him, and the interaction of the Thunder trio is also increasing, such as after the Thunder's last loss to the Wizards, Wei Shao took the initiative to apologize for Paul George's zero shot in the fourth quarter.

Everything seems to indicate that Paul George will definitely stay in the Thunder, Zhang Feng doesn't need to shout anymore, the King has no hope, but Zhang Feng is not the most anxious, the Lakers are much more anxious than Zhang Feng.

The Lakers originally planned to sign free agent Cousins in the summer, and then attract Paul George through Cousins, but Cousins has such a serious injury, and his return will definitely be greatly reduced, and the chances of attracting Paul George through him will be greatly reduced.

And the Lakers' Clippers have decided to rebuild, they sent Griffin in exchange for a first-round pick, and there will definitely be another trade next, and Jordan Jr. will definitely be put on the negotiating table by Jerry West.

Coupled with the Pelicans firing Kim Terry, there will definitely be a lineup change; Thunder Robles season reimbursement desperate for defensive guard; The Cavaliers Love is injured and will definitely look for a replacement player; Wizard Wall undergoes knee surgery and continues to provide firepower from mercenaries; Grizzlies public auction Evans, Celtics, 76ers are interested; The Bulls Mittinocchi trade fell through, and the entire league is on the verge of a trade that could happen at any time.

Every year near the trade date, the general managers of each team in the league sit on the phone, ready to make offers or consider offers from other teams at any time.

Divac didn't work alone this year, and after Zhang Feng and David returned to Sacramento with the team, they went to the Kings Training Center to discuss a trade with him without any rest.

The three of them met together and talked about Paul George. Originally, Paul George was injured, and Zhang Feng planned to use his medical skills to see if he could pick up a bargain, and he also asked his eldest cousin Jennifer Lawrence to invite Paul George in the name of Hollywood to check the injury more conveniently.

But I never expected that Paul George's calf could not exert force and recover so quickly. Of course, this just confirmed Zhang's speculation that the nerve was compressed, not seriously injured.

Since you can't pick up the bargain, you have to think about how to use the needs of other teams to make a deal.

"How's little Jordan? The Clippers are definitely letting go, and we're offering George Hilga a second-round pick," Divac started with a proposal.

David shook his head and immediately shook his head: "At present, the team does not need a center, and the fighting power provided by Randolph is enough to support, and there is no need to spend too much money to get a player who can only grab rebounds."

"We have to think long-term, Randolph is too old after all, we need a player who can help Zhang Feng share the defensive pressure in the future, and now is the best time to take advantage of the fire," Divac began an in-depth discussion.

"Not necessarily, now all the teams in the league know that the Clippers are about to rebuild, and there are some teams that are more desperate than our desire to get Jordan Jr., like the Cavaliers, like the Bucks, even the Pelicans" David still feels inappropriate.

"What do you think?" The two couldn't get a result, and Divac turned his head to look at Zhang Feng.

Zhang Feng thought for a while and said: "First of all, we still have to solve the problem of the front, little Jordan is good, but it is not the first goal."

"It's a shame we couldn't pick up Paul George, we and the Thunder both started talking about chips," Divac sighed, but then his eyes lit up again, "Do you want to try to talk to the Spurs about kawaii, there have been a lot of rumors about him lately."

In today's league, the players who can compete with Durant at the small forward position, except for LeBron, are only Kawaii and Paul George, and now Paul George is hopeless, Divac is desperate to get Kawaii.

David knew that Divac was eager to make a contribution, but he still shook his head and said: "How is it possible, unless Spurs owner Holt, Popovich, RC-Buford are crazy together, otherwise the probability of them trading Kaeva is basically 0".

"What you said makes sense, a team with heritage, culture, and quality is indeed different, even if the team belongs to the boss, the boss can't cover the sky with one hand......"

Before Divac could finish speaking, the phone on the desk rang.

"Wow, that's not something that the in-house staff will dial, guess who? Could it be that the Thunder will change their minds and continue the Paul-George trade with us? ”

"Don't make people wait too long, hurry up and pick it up" Zhang Feng raised his hand to urge, and his heart was also a little curious.

Divac picked up the phone with a smile and pressed the hands-free button.

"Hello? Is it Kings General Manager Divac? A deep middle-aged male voice came from the other end of the phone.

"It's me, who are you?"

"I'm Cavaliers Boss Daniel Gilbert"

What is Gilbert looking for Divac? Zhang Feng couldn't help frowning in thought. At the same time, Divac also looked confused, could it be that the Cavaliers have taken a fancy to the king's player? It's a pity that I can't guess, so it's better to ask directly.

"Hello, how can I help you?"

"I've thought about the deal we talked about, and I agree with the plan you offered, but you have to add another first-round pick, preferably protected, and if it doesn't work this year, it can be next year."

Gilbert's words were like thunder on the ground, and Zhang Feng suddenly remembered that he had jokingly asked Divac to talk to the knights about exchanging George Hill for Lefogaros, but he didn't expect it to be really negotiated.

"OK, since you have put forward new conditions, we need to have a meeting to discuss, I'll see the time, so let's do it, I'll restore you in half an hour, do you think it's okay?" Divac said with a forced smile.

"It's totally fine, but I'm not going to back down on my terms, and if I want Love, I'll trade George Hilgar's first-round pick!" Gilbert's tone on the other end of the line was categorical.

Hanging up the phone, Divac finally couldn't help laughing: "I really didn't expect that Gilbert actually agreed, is he crazy?" Haha, just now we were discussing unless the Spurs boss went crazy, but I didn't expect one to really come."

David shook his head, seemingly disagreeing with Divac's statement: "Maybe Gilbert just wants to take the fate of the team into his own hands, and it has been rumored that the reason why the Cavaliers refused to sign with the Nets was because they didn't get LeBron's signing commitment."

"Well, the Cavaliers have no hope of winning the championship this season, and even if they do, they won't make any money, the luxury tax is too high, and Gilbert may want to rebuild," Divac calmed down and began to analyze.

"What do you say about the exchange of Lefou?" David and Divac consulted Zhang Feng for advice at the same time.

"What else is there to think about? Change! ”
