Chapter 44: Embiid is Injured?

Trading players is a matter for the general manager of the team. Fastest updates

But because the manager is responsible for what kind of player trading will help the team more effectively, how to arrange the player's playing time, and tactical design, he is the one who knows best what kind of player the team needs.

So the deal of players, usually the general manager will negotiate with the head coach,

On this day, 76ers general manager Sam Kimchi put head coach Brett . Brown invited him to his office to discuss a trade for Joel. Embiid's business.

Sam Kimchi poured a cup of coffee for Brett. Brown.

"Hey, Brett! During this time Joel. Embiid has played well and is believed to have attracted the attention of many teams. Who do you think we should trade Embiid for? โ€

Brett. As Brown picked up his coffee, he said, "Anthony. What about Davis? I admire him. If he is traded, the team's tactics will be even more abundant! โ€

Heard the head coach say the trade came to Anthony. Davis, Sam Kimchi rolled his eyes and said, "Hey man, I know Davis is great." But unless the owner has Alzheimer's, Davis is unlikely to come to the 76ers. Would it be good to say something practical? After all, he'll be your subordinate! โ€

Brett. Brown, of course, knew that Davis was not going to come, he just wanted to liven up the atmosphere.

Put down the cup, Brett. Brown said seriously, "Man, I'm mainly in charge of the game, and I don't know much about the specific situation of the players in the league. Even if I pick someone who is more suitable, I may not be able to trade it back. So let's start by saying that if we trade Embiid, we're most likely to get those insiders back! โ€

Sam Kimchi nodded and said, "Okay, Anthony Davis and Whiteside, the best interior players, don't think about it." Now there is hope for the interior line to be replaced, and the first one is DeMarcus of the Kings. Cousins. He had another falling out with the head coach, and I heard that the Kings were now eager to send him away......"

"Wait, you said DeMarcus. Cousins! Man, don't think about it. That guy is a coach killer, I don't think I have what it takes to train that guy who has berserk disorder! "Brett. Brown shouted hurriedly.

Sam Kimchi shrugged and said, "Okay, seriously. I also think that trading him would turn the 76ers upside down! It's a pity that his offense ...... If Cousins ruled it out, it would be more appropriate for the Hawks' Dwight. Howard and the Nets' Brooke. Lรณpez these two guys too. Both the Hawks and the Nets want to rebuild, and I'm sure they'll be interested in Embiid too! โ€œ

Dwight. Howard! Brooke. Lopez!

Brett. Brown was lost in thought when he heard the two names.

Both of these centre-forwards are veterans, and for their character and technical characteristics, Brett. Brown knows that, too.

Dwight. Howard had great bounce when he was younger, but as he got older, he wasn't as good as he used to be. But the foundation is still there, and grabbing 10+ rebounds per game is not a problem. The problem is that his technique is rough and he tends to be a defensive center, and how long can he stay in shape once he arrives with the 76ers?

Brooke. Lรณpez and Dwight. Howard, on the contrary, has a solid scoring arsenal on the inside and can even pull up to shoot threes from the outside. The downside is that the defense is not good, and the rebounding protection has not been very good. When he comes to the team, will the team's interior line become a colander?

Do you want to choose one of them?

Brett. Brown hesitated.

If you can combine their respective strengths, then there is no need to hesitate at all.

It's a pity that in addition to their age, the shortcomings and advantages of these two guys are just as obvious.

Brett. Brown looked at Sam. Kimchi asked, "Are there any other candidates?" โ€

Sam. Kimchi hesitated and said, "The rest of the centers are basically more ordinary, which one is about the same. Well, there's a candidate for the job. But that guy is a little more troublesome, and he may not be sure that he can trade the other party! โ€

Brett. Brown was curious and said, "Who?" โ€

"Rudy of the Jazz. Goebel! The Jazz also value Gobert and just signed him to a four-year, $102 million contract just last year. And more importantly, if we trade him, we won't be able to keep Knoll this summer. By the time Zhang Zifeng renews his contract in 2018, the team may still have to pay the luxury tax! "Sam. Kimchi said.

Hear Rudy. The name Gobert, Bret. Brown's eyes lit up.

Although Rudy. Gobert's low-post offensive skills still need to be honed, but he's athletic, aggressive defensively, and an interior defensive gatekeeper.

If there is Rudy. Gobert and Ibaka are on the inside, and the 76ers' interior will definitely become a restricted area for each team.

In an instant, Brett. Brown made up his mind and said, "Man, it's none of my business about the team's salary, it's your business to worry about!" Dwight. Howard was okay in the first few years, but he's been in a slump in the last few years, and I think it's too risky to trade him. Gobert is the best fit for this team right now. So if you want to trade Embiid, trade Gobert. Otherwise, it is better to leave Embiid and slowly run in with him and Zhang Zifeng! โ€

Sam. Kimchi said, "Well, I see what you mean, I'll do my best to trade Gobert." It's just that Embiid is afraid that he can't keep it, and his agent is too greedy. Embiid only played less than 30 games in the first three seasons, and there are still injury risks on his body, and he even dared to offer a four-year contract extension of 112 million, which is simply a lion's mouth! I can't trade Gobert, so I have to choose Brooke. Lรณpez, a few of them. However, if I trade them, I will definitely ask them for next year's draft picks, otherwise we will lose too much! โ€

Brett. Brown nodded and said, "Then the deal will get rid of you!" โ€

Sam. Kimchi will be Brett. As Brown walked out of the office, he said, "Okay, I'll let you know as soon as there's any further news!" โ€

Back in the office, Sam. As soon as Kimchi sat down, he shouted to his assistant, "Jones, give me a call from Jazz General Manager Kevin O'Connor!" โ€

"Yes, sir!" Jones immediately dialed the phone, and soon he shouted, "Kevin Line 1!" โ€

Sam. Kimchi pressed the answer button, "Hey, Kevin!" I'm Sam. โ€

The other end of the phone rang, "Sam, what's wrong?" โ€

Sam. Kimchi tried to keep his tone as flat as he could and said, "Listen, my team needs some help defensively!" โ€

Kevin O'Connor said, "Okay, what do you need? โ€

Sam. Kimchi said: "For this I can trade Joel. Embiid! โ€

Kevin O'Connor was a little surprised and said, "Joel. Embiid! It's true? โ€

Sam. Kimchi said, "Of course it's true, who do you want to exchange with me?" โ€

Kevin O'Connor said, "What? Oh, let me think about it! How about Trey Lyles? โ€

Sam. Kimchi immediately objected, "No." Man, a little sincerity, okay? โ€

Kevin O'Connor thought for a moment and said, "I'd send Derek Favors, who is a physical, big man who can play multiple positions, a finisher on the defensive end!" โ€

"Man, let's stop going around in circles. I want Drew Gobert! As long as you're willing to catch Drew Gobert, we're willing to trade Embiid! "Sam. Kimchi shouted.

Sure enough, it was Drew Gobert!

When Sam. When Kimchi said he wanted to trade Embiid, Kevin O'Connor immediately thought of trading Drew Gobert.

Kevin O'Connor shook his head and said, "Sam, why do I have the feeling that you're taking advantage of me?" โ€

Sam. Kimchi said, "I didn't, you were the one who took advantage." Didn't you see how good Embiid was during this time? Excellent athleticism and a completer in the offensive chain. With him joining, we can better help Hayward open up space! โ€

Kevin O'Connor asked, "What did Embiid do, get hurt?" โ€

Sam. Kimchi immediately replied, "No, he was absolutely not injured." If you don't believe me, you can play tomorrow. His performance will make you fall in love with him! โ€

Kevin O'Connor asked, "Okay, man. I'll be straight about why you want to trade Embiid. Why? โ€

Sam. Kimchi explained, "We need to rebuild around Zhang Zifeng, not Embiid. So we want to send him away! โ€

Kevin O'Connor said, "Our Jazz team also wants Hayward as the core, and trading to Embiid is not also a hidden danger!" โ€

Sam. Kimchi despised Kevin O'Connor in his heart and said, "I know, but I heard that Hayward has always wanted to leave the Jazz, and he wants to go to a team that has the quality to win a championship." Once Hayward leaves, the Jazz will stay. Drew Gobert defensively is good, but his offense is a problem, and he doesn't have enough quality to be the heart of a team, is he? But Embiid is different, if it weren't for Zhang Zifeng on our team, Embiid would definitely be worth rebuilding around him. We traded between the two teams, we had Drew Gobert and strengthened the team's defense. Your Jazz team also has a real team-building core. Trust me, Joel. Embiid's future is definitely bright! โ€

By Sam. Kimchi pointed out the news that Hayward was leaving, and Kevin O'Connor was stunned.

Utah isn't a big city, and it's always been hard to keep those big stars.

Even though Hayward is the star that the Jazz have been working hard to cultivate, when Hayward grows up, he still wants to leave.

Just think Sam. Kimchi said that once Hayward leaves, Drew Gobert is difficult to be the core of a rebuilding as a defensive center.

Kevin O'Connor has also seen Embiid's game, and it's definitely a piece of jade.

As long as it is polished for a few years, it will definitely shine brightly.

For Sam. Kimchi said that Kevin O'Connor definitely agrees with the reason for the trade. If it were me, I would also choose to trade Embiid and leave Zhang Zifeng as a cornucopia.

Kevin O'Connor has basically agreed to the deal in his heart, but he still needs to discuss it with the team's head coach.

Kevin O'Connor said, "I need to think about it! โ€

Sam. Kimchi heard Kevin O'Connor say this, knowing that this matter was going to be done, and said with a smile: "Okay, you think about it, our deal is definitely a win-win choice!" โ€

After putting down the phone, Sam. Kimchi to Brett. Brown made a phone call and said, "Embiid should be able to trade Gobert, but you don't have to tell anyone else about it just yet." You pay attention to Embiid's playing time, I hope he will be healthy when he goes to the Jazz for a physical examination! โ€

Brett. Brown nodded and said, "Well, I understand. I know how to do it! โ€

With Brett. Brown finished the phone, Sam. Kimchi had a headache.

Traded Drew Gobert, in 2018 his annual salary was about 25 million, at that time Ibaka was 15 million, and Grant's annual salary was 12 million+ million.

Although Rondo is only signed for two years now, if the contract is renewed, I am afraid it will cost 1200+ million.

The combined salaries of other role players are about 2000+ million.

The sum of them will be 8400+ million.

Coupled with the 30 million maximum salary of Zhang Zifeng for the renewal of the contract, the team's salary will reach 114+ million.

I don't know what the salary cap will be or what the luxury tax threshold will be.

Let's hope it won't exceed the luxury tax threshold!

In Sam. Kimchi has a headache about how to control the team's salaries and avoid the luxury tax. The 76ers continue their journey.

On January 05, the 76ers hosted the Portland Trail Blazers.

The Trail Blazers made changes to their starting lineup, with Turner and Vonleh starting together.
