Dennis Johnson said: "Colangelo Jr. contacted me directly, and he said that the Suns are very interested in Big Mom, but Jason Kidd is not for sale for the team, and hopefully we can change it to something else." ”

"It's not for sale again." Li Wei frowned.

Just now, the Timberwolves said that Garnett was not for sale, and in the end he sold it, which shows that every non-sale product is not necessarily a real non-sale.

However, he also knows that Garnett's trade is a superstar for a new man, and the Timberwolves have taken a big advantage on the surface, so of course they can sell the non-sale.

Big Mom isn't a superstar like Ewing, just an ordinary star, and Kidd is also a star. If it weren't for the Suns' lack of interior and the concentration of point guards, such a chip wouldn't even be attractive.

Therefore, eighty percent of the non-sale items this time are real non-sale items, at least in this transaction.

Since people don't sell Kidd, Li Wei can only retreat - it is not appropriate to say that retreat is secondary, fans have been very controversial about which is better, Nash or Kidd, and it can only be said that he chose not to defend again between not attacking and not defending.

Thinking about it carefully, Li Wei found that in fact, not keeping the transaction is the safest choice.

Although Comrade Non-Offensive is majestic on the field and can still lead the team to win without scoring, off the field, he is a coach killer and has been firing his head coach since he was in college.

In addition, Li Wei remembered that in his previous life, the Suns sent Kidd away because of domestic violence. The reason is that Kidd's wife does not allow Kidd to steal the child's snacks, but Kidd does not listen and beats his wife in front of the child.

Later, Kidd and his wife separated, angering the local women's federation, and a group of women who usually don't watch the game rushed onto the court during the Suns game to cheer on the visiting team from afar. The Suns saw that the impact was too bad, and the tickets would not sell well if they continued like this, so they had to trade him.

Compared with comrades who do not attack, comrades who do not defend themselves do not have the bad deeds of firing coaches and beating wives at all, and are also known for their docile personality and diligent play. If a team wants to win the championship, the atmosphere in the locker room is particularly important, so failure to defend is the best candidate for the team's long-term stability.

Thinking of this, Li Wei said: "What is the name of a point guard on the Suns?" Oh, come to think of it, it's Steve Nash. Let's trade for Nash, but if we trade for Nash, they'll have to give us some draft picks. ”

When Kidd debuted, he was a top show, and he had already made a name for himself with the Mavericks, and he could exchange one with Big Mom. But Nash was only the No. 15 rookie last year, barely got any playing time, and belonged to the obscure category, Li Wei felt that he could make some money.

Colangelo Jr. certainly doesn't mind trading Nash. Although Nash is a good player, his defense is too poor, and what is worse is that his poor defense is a congenital deficiency, and it is impossible to improve in training. The team already has a superstar like Kevin Johnson at the point guard position, and an ace backup like Jason Kidd, and it's useless to keep the physically weak Nash.

However, Li Wei wants to take advantage of it, the Suns also want to pit newcomers, and Little Colangelo doesn't want his dad to look down on him at all!

After a little thought, he said that it was okay to trade for Nash, but the Suns could not provide draft picks, but could provide the Knicks with some experienced veterans.

Li Wei hurriedly said: "Don't be, our Knicks veterans have enough, we don't need you to provide them!" ”

The negotiations reached an impasse, with neither side willing to budge.

Colangelo Jr. is in a hurry, he feels that the team needs a big mom, but he can't show his flaws. Once the flaws are revealed, the Knicks will certainly not let go.

Li Wei's heart is more anxious than Colangelo Jr., and no one knows Nash's worth better than him. But every time he does business, he loses a lot on the surface, is scolded by the media, and even ridiculed by Bird, he is also very angry!

A day passed, and the Knicks didn't contact the Suns again, and the Suns didn't contact the Knicks again, as if the negotiations had collapsed. However, Ewing's transaction was hyped by major media to the headlines!

Superstars for newcomers, one for one, just ask if you are afraid!

If you have a rookie who averages more than 10 points per game, you can also change to a superstar with New York!

Anyone in New York City who cares a little bit about basketball is there to scold Li Wei. There are also some people who don't care about basketball, and they also follow the newspaper and everyone to scold: this kind of character who is scolded by everyone can't always be a good thing!

A more clever reporter told the grievances between Li Wei and the Knicks: "When Li Wei and Oakley fought, many old Knicks players were present and supported Oakley, and Boss Li once threatened to sell them all, Ewing was just the first!" ”

As soon as this news broke, the Knicks' phone was busy, and every team had a heart to take advantage of the fire!

"Oh my God!"

Seeing the various trade proposals handed over by various teams, Li Wei couldn't cry or laugh.

What is this, just a cat and a dog want to change the star of the Knicks?

It seems that every team has taken him for a retarded mind!

Dennis Johnson was so busy that he even put together all the trade proposals for Big Mom. In the eyes of the new general manager, most of these proposals are far better than replacing the Suns' weak defensive colander.

"Alright, Dennis, let's refuse, I'm not interested. Hey, wait, this deal seems to be more reliable! ”

Dennis Johnson looked at the proposal in Li Wei's hand, frowned, and then stretched it out. Because he also felt that the deal was not so whimsical.

The Utah Jazz want to trade their main point guard, Jeff Hornacek, for the Knicks' point guard John Starks!

Li Wei's name for the death gun, Jeff Hornacek, can be described as thunderous. It's not that Hornacek has an amazing performance on the court, this kind of older generation of players, even if he has an amazing performance, Li Wei can't remember it.

He was impressed, just because Hornacek had a very amazing-looking daughter!

To tell the truth, Lao Huo's daughter is so beautiful, on the Internet in later generations, as long as the news about him appears, there must be a large number of netizens bowing down and shouting "father-in-law"!

"Do you want to exchange your father-in-law?"

Li Wei really wanted to change, not because Hornacek's daughter was beautiful, but because he felt that Starks was not suitable to stay in the team.

Starks is a veteran player in New York, with Ewing, Oakley and others who have a deep brotherly relationship and a bad temper, since Li Wei has offended Ewing and Oakley, keeping him in the team will definitely become an unstable factor.

In addition, Li Wei remembered that his "father-in-law" was a divine shooter, and he also served as a coach after retiring in his previous life, so he should be able to bring newcomers - as for who the newcomers are, of course, he himself!

As a peerless iron god who must shoot iron, Li Wei really wants that sharpshooter to point his finger at himself!

In his previous life, he had been iron all his life, and he didn't want to be iron in his second life!

"Dennis, you can analyze this deal for me." Li Weidao.

Dennis Johnson immediately said: "Hornacek is an outstanding shooter, but his physical fitness is not good, his strength, speed and agility are average in all aspects, since the major injury, he can't even jump, and he can only be blown up when he encounters a top outside line."

In this year's Finals, the Jazz and the Bulls met, and Hornacek couldn't defend Jordan at all, so he could only switch defenses with small forward Russell. But Russell defended Jordan, and Hornacek had to defend Pippen. Pippen is not a vegetarian either, and although he tried his best to defend it, it still feels tragic, and I think the Jazz will lose, mainly because of him.

Compared to Hornacek, Starks is our defensive stalwart in New York, defending Jordan many times in the playoffs, and the effect is very good, and he is even called the Jordan finisher. ”

"Jordan Terminator?" Li Wei smiled.

Because Jordan is so powerful, many defenders with excellent defense are dubbed "Jordan Terminators". Dennis Johnson was also one of Jordan's finishers before he retired, and as for the effect - Jordan once scored 63 points in front of him.

Well, in fact, in that game, Johnson didn't play Jordan much, and it was poor Danny Angie who was abused by Jordan all the time. However, from another point of view, Jordan is indeed an unstoppable existence, and the Terminators can prevent him from being at the level of "Kobe", and they can take a big credit.

Starks seems to be the first person to be officially nicknamed "Jordan-Stopper". It was the 1992 Eastern Conference semifinals, and the Knicks and the Bulls fought seven games, and the Bulls won 4-3. In the series, under the defense of Starks, Jordan averaged "only" 31 points per game, shooting "only" 47.7%, and scored a total of 16 turnovers in the last three games.

Therefore, Starks was indeed able to pull Jordan down to Kobe's level and was the real Jordan finisher.

The Jazz were the runners-up this year, losing to the Bulls in the Finals. In that case, they will definitely see the Bulls as their number one hypothetical rival next year, and it is not surprising that they want to trade a "Jordan Finisher".

"Starks may be able to defend Jordan, but offensively, it doesn't seem to be as good as Hornacek, right?" Li Wei asked.

Dennis Johnson shook his head and said: "No, on offense, Starks is also an excellent scorer, he can shoot suddenly, although his shooting is not as accurate as Hornacek's, but it is also a rare reliable three-point point on the outside of the Knicks." In terms of trade value, I think our team's Starks are significantly stronger than their team's Hornacek! ”

"Hmm." Li Wei nodded, although Dennis Johnson is the new general manager, but after so many years in the league, he still has a good eye for people, "Do you think we want a first-round pick from them, can we come?" ”

Dennis Johnson said: "The Jazz are aiming to win a championship, and draft picks shouldn't be hard to come by. However, they were second in the league last year, and their first-round pick was the second-to-last pick, so they are not worth much. Next year, as long as they don't suffer serious injuries, their record will not be much worse. ”

"Hmm." Li Wei nodded again. In my impression, the Jazz team is a group of old guys playing, and there are really no eye-catching newcomers - wait, there seems to be an AK47, which they have chosen in the past two years!

AK47's name is Andrei Kirilenko, abbreviated as AK, and he wears the number 47. He is Russian, a super defensive stalwart, a pentathlon champion of the new century.

What is a pentathlon?

That's the five stats that matter: points, rebounds, assists, steals, blocks, everything!

Li Wei remembers that he had a performance of 14 points, 9 assists, 8 rebounds, 7 blocks and 6 steals in a single game, and he was also the third player in NBA history to contribute "5×5" data in a single game after "Big Dream" Hakeem Olajuwon and David Robinson.

Li Wei likes him very much, but he can't remember what year he was a rookie!

After thinking about it for a long time, the young president concluded that this product should be a rookie in 99.

That's right, it's '99!

"Dennis, we don't want their draft pick this year, just their first-round pick in '99...... Wait, they should have more than one draft pick in '99, you check, do they have other team picks? ”

Dennis Johnson immediately checked the information, then nodded: "That's right, the Jazz had two first-round picks in '99, one was their own, and the other was the Magic draft pick they traded center Filton Spencer for last summer!" ”

Li Wei slapped his thigh: "That's it!" We're going to want this magic pick! ”
