Chapter 389: Ivanka's Insight
After listening to Chen Jiyuan's words, Ivanka didn't show any particularly convincing appearance, nor did she show disdain, her face was unwavering, so that people couldn't see what Ivanka was thinking in her heart at all. This made Chen Jiyuan have to admire Ivanka's heart, indeed, many people's success is definitely not accidental, but inevitable, opportunities are only given to those who are prepared, this is not a joke. Only those with good conditions can succeed.
Ivanka thought for a moment and then offered her opinion. "So, Chen, I see that in your team building plan, the growth of rookies is a very important part, and it can even be said that rookies are the top priority in your championship plan. If the rookies don't do what they expected, your plans will be devastated. Even if it cannot be completed because of this, it is possible that in fact, it is possible that the Nix will sink in a few years. Where do you have the confidence to believe that these rookies can play at the level you want? ”
Actually, the simplest answer to this question is -- because I have crossed over. So, of course, I know what the future holds for these players.
But this great calamity is obviously unspeakable. Therefore, Chen Jiyuan also slightly organized the language and said to Ivanka: "Speaking of rookies, we must admit that it is true that my team building plan rookies are indeed a very important part, but we are not completely dependent on rookies, and it is completely impossible for you to sink for a few years." First of all, let's not talk about the past, let's talk about the present, at least for now, our draft is very successful. Starki has now gradually shown his strength. At this point, if we trade Staki, then I have reason to believe that we can get a very good player. Also, it's the same thing with our future drafts, yes, we can't guarantee that they're going to play at the level I want, but how do you make sure they can't play at the level I want, or if they play beyond what I expected. There is no way to know for sure, the NBA is a league full of uncertainties, and if there is really any way for us to succeed accurately, then this league will definitely not exist. It's like shooting is the same thing, I can't guarantee that my next shot will be 100 percent, so why shouldn't I shoot this time? This is obviously impossible. So what we can do is believe in our own vision and have looked at the rookies more. ”
After Ivanka thought about it, she still had that expression, which made Chen Jiyuan have Tina who couldn't figure it out, what was Ivanka thinking? Ivanka was writing and drawing in her notebook, and soon, at one point, she said, "You have a point, Chen, but we can't put all our eggs in one basket." Otherwise, what should I do if the chicken flies and the egg hits? We can't completely avoid risk, but we should at least spread it. In addition to looking for potential rookies, we should also actively seek out returning stars to help you and make the Knicks stronger. ”
When it comes to trading stars, it's actually a difficult problem to deal with. Because in the end, that star may be traded, what is the status of this star after that, and so on and so on are all things to consider. Chen Jiyuan suddenly wanted to know what Ivanka thought about trading stars, what goals Ivanka had and so on. This may be Chen Jiyuan's playfulness. I just want to take the test for Ivanka, after all, Ivanka hasn't been learning basketball for a long time.
Ivanka only gave her answer after a little thought: "First of all, I think Richard Jefferson is a good choice. Richard Jefferson has a good physical profile, and as a forward player, Richard Jefferson has a qualified three-point shot, so he can also play as a shooting guard, and he can play at both positions. Can play at the same time as Stephen Jackson and Starkey at any time. This has improved the quality of our team a bit. And Richard Jefferson has long said that the cooperation with Michael Reed is not very good, and the relationship between the two is not so harmonious. This leads us directly to the fact that it is quite possible that we get Richard Jefferson. We probably won't have a lot to give, so it's a good potential trade. ”
For Richard Jefferson, Chen Jiyuan feels that what Ivanka said is still very reasonable. Indeed, Richard Jefferson was a very good player, and Richard Jefferson, along with Kidd and Carter, formed the Nets' trident and successfully helped the Nets become a strong team during that time. Although because of the defects in the interior line, the Nets during that period of time were unable to get the results they wanted, so they dismantled the trident. And Richard Jefferson, who went to the Bucks, had another conflict with the team's boss Michael Reed. Michael Reed, as the boss of the team, certainly doesn't have a good impression of this newcomer, even if Richard Jefferson is still very strong. But a discordant team naturally can't succeed, so it has basically become an inevitable situation for the Bucks to send Richard Jefferson away, so what Ivanka said is completely operable, and the Spurs after the end of this season are to use a trade to keep Richard Jefferson to San Antonio.
However, the problem is that Richard Jefferson's form a few years later, Chen Jiyuan knows, Richard Jefferson's form has dropped significantly since the beginning of the 2011-12 season, and that year, he was traded by the Spurs because he did not finish the season due to injury.
Richard Jefferson's two-year decline in the Spurs is nothing, but Richard Jefferson's form in the next few years is completely unacceptable to Chen Jiyuan. You know, what Chen Jiyuan wants is teammates who can always be by his side and help him successfully help the Knicks build a dynasty, not this kind of twilight hero, not to mention, in Chen Jiyuan's eyes, Richard Jefferson is not a superstar, even if Chad Jefferson has been an All-Star.
If the Knicks really want to pursue Richard Jefferson, then Chen Jiyuan will definitely stop it. Unless the price paid is very small. In that case, you can also consider that, even then, Chen Jiyuan will build a team and sign Richard Jefferson to a contract of two years or ten to three years. Contracts that are too long should never be signed.
Chen Jiyuan didn't express his opinion so quickly, Ivanka continued: "There is also a good forward player, that is Carter, I don't think Carter is very happy to stay in the Nets, I think if the chips are enough, it can be exchanged for Carter, although Carter is not an omnipotent UFO now." However, he is still one of the superstars of this alliance. The strength is still beyond doubt. So if you can trade to Carter, you can still consider it. ”
"In addition, there is another star who deserves to be carded, Tracy McGrady, who seems to be quite serious despite his injury. However, Tracy, who has undergone surgery, should be able to recover some form, and then Tracy can completely transform into a jumper-type shooting guard, just like Jordan did in the later stages of his career. Tracy's dry pull is still relatively inexplicable. I believe that Tracy, who shoots the basketball, will still be a pretty good shooting guard. If the chips the Rockets are asking for are not excessive, I think, they can be traded. ”
For these two transactions, Chen Jiyuan did not dare to agree. Carter is barely a tradeable player, and as for Tracy McGrady, that's just adding a bad contract to your Ques. Tracy McGrady who returned from injury is simply no longer an NBA-level player, the first season is okay, and he can average about 8 points per game, but that is only 30 games, and then Tracy McGrady will be injured again, and after that, Tracy McGrady will be completely a fringe player. Even came to the CBA.
After Carter came to the Magic, he averaged no more than 20 points per game for the first time since his rookie season. It is difficult to explain clearly what the reason is, not only the change of the tactical system, but also the slight decline in Carter's own state, as well as the change in Carter's status, Carter no longer has unlimited shooting power. This is also the reason for the drop in points per game.
Carter's contract is too big, and in Chen Jiyuan's opinion, Carter in this time period is no longer worth the price. If Carter is a player with an annual salary of eight or nine million, then the Knicks can bring it in, but a guy with an annual salary of $16.3 million can only do this, which is obviously not worth it.
Therefore, Chen Jiyuan will oppose these two deals.
Ivanka also brought up the matter of trading Boozer.
"Boozer is a player who averages 20+10 per game, and if Boozer can be introduced, then the offensive pressure on Chen's interior will be greatly decomposed. Lefou's still a rookie after all, although his performance is really good. However, it is difficult to ask him to quickly become a player who can average 20+10 per game. So Boozer's deal is also something to consider. ”
"Of course, these are my own constructions. If you really want to implement it, you still need to think about it, and many things can't be decided so simply. These things are especially important to respect Latin Dolan's opinion, which is still very pertinent in this regard. So, these can only be considered speculation. The specific plan still needs to be discussed by everyone. ”
Regarding these transactions of Ivanka, Chen Jiyuan did not express more opinions. Although Chen Jiyuan didn't agree with Ivanka's meaning. However, it was not spoken, because it was not necessary to say it now. Ivanka also knows that these are her own thoughts. It has not yet reached the point of implementation. If you want to implement a transaction, it is not something that one person can say, and it must be carefully considered.
Therefore, Chen Jiyuan did not refute what Ivanka said. The main thing is that Ivanka, as a new player learning basketball and learning basketball management, is a very big improvement.
Chen Jiyuan looked at Ivanka's serious appearance, and suddenly felt so cute. Because Ivanka like this is really rare to appear in front of Chen Jiyuan.
Chen Jiyuan stretched out his hand and gently touched Ivanka's head, and said, "Ivanka, you are learning fast enough, it's only been so long, you can say the truth." ”
Ivanka smiled and didn't say anything. But the slow happiness on her face betrayed her mood.
Chen Jiyuan stood up and prepared to continue training. Now that it has begun, Chen Jiyuan plans to complete the training of this link. The training of mid-pitch and hook hands, in Chen Jiyuan's eyes, these two are a systematic training.
However, just when Chen Jiyuan was just about to stand up and go to training, a voice suddenly appeared, this voice Chen Jiyuan is very familiar with, isn't this the voice of the legendary Britney Dolan.
Britney's voice stopped Chen Jiyuan from walking towards the arena.
"I'm not in the habit of eavesdropping. But your voice, though not loud, is too quiet now. I accidentally heard a lot. I wouldn't agree with the Tracy McGrady deal. ”
Chen Jiyuan turned around and found that Britney Spears walked into the court and came to the edge of the field.
Chen Jiyuan originally planned to continue training, but Britney's arrival suddenly made Chen Jiyuan want to go back and continue listening.
So Chen Jiyuan sat down. Britney sat down as well. The three of them sat together.
As soon as Britney sat down, she spoke, and the topic she talked about was the Tracy McGracy problem that Britney had just mentioned.
"I'm not going to agree to trade Tracy McGrady. You know, Tracy McGrady suffered a back injury. This is not an injury that can lighten the recovery state. It is an injury that will affect the competitive state of the player. It's hard to reply. And I'm skeptical of Tracy McGrady's efforts. So I think bringing in Tracy McGrady is a bit too risky. There are a lot of players on the market and there's no need to take that risk, especially when we don't really need Tracy McGrady right now. There's no need to take that risk. ”
Ivanka didn't directly object to Britney's words, generally speaking, in this case, she would not care so much and refute what she was saying first, but Ivanka was very calm and analyzed Britney's words.
"You're right. Britney, there is really no need to take that risk. If the offer is too low, it is estimated that the rocket will not agree. Still, I think Carlos Boozer can pursue it. If we can give a good contract, I'm sure Carlos Boozer will be happy to come here. Carlos Boozer as a double-double player. Able to disperse the defensive pressure on the inside for Chen Jiyuan. After Ivanka finished speaking, she looked at Britney, waiting for Britney's comment on this building. Speaking of which, Ivanka is still very accurate about her positioning, and she will not be arrogant or arrogant. Regarding the comments of Ivanka, a "senior", Ivanka still attaches more importance to it. Moreover, Ivanka will not be affected by her feelings, which is indeed very rare.
Britney thought about it and nodded, Britney didn't affect her judgment because of anything else, although Britney's reluctant expression was all written on her face, Britney pouted, not at all like the expression that a successful NBA manager should have, just a little girl.
Britney pouted, "Well, indeed, for Carlos Boozer's pursuit. It's true that you can try it, and it doesn't matter if the chips are a little more expensive. After all, Carlos Boozer was still very strong, although the events of that year had a great impact on his reputation. However, there is still no need to question the strength, and the introduction of Carlos Boozer will indeed increase the strength of the Knicks. Although Lefou's growth is good, no one can be sure what kind of player Lefu will become, so if you can trade the Lefou-themed chips to Carlos Boozer, it is worth trying. ”
Seeing that Ivanka and Britney are so optimistic about trading Carlos Boozer, Chen Jiyuan feels sad. Carlos Boozer's strength is indeed good, but that is the current strength, if Carlos Boozer comes to the Knicks, not only will he not share Chen Jiyuan's defensive pressure, on the contrary, hesitating Chen Jiyuan and Carlos Boozer are both low-post singles masters on the inside, in that case, Chen Jiyuan's offensive space will be reduced, and Carlos Boozer's mid-range level is indeed very good, but Carlos Boozer does not have the strength of three points. And Lefu later practiced a three-point stunt, and became the three-point king of the league. That's something Carlos Boozer can't match. And, more importantly, Carlos Boozer has been completely out of shape since leaving the Jazz. It's not an all-star player who averages 20+10 per game. Although the strength is still good, it is no longer worth the top salary. A five-year, $80 million contract is already a bit excessive. However, Carlos Boozer, who left the Jazz, must be pursuing the most expensive contract, that is, if he wants to sign Carlos Boozer, he must need a five-year contract of more than $80 million, because the Bulls will give Carlos Boozer this contract.
Chen Jiyuan still didn't say anything. It's still being discussed anyway. Regarding the matter of Carlos Boozer, Chen Jiyuan will discuss it with Latin. Right now. What Chen Jiyuan needs to do is to continue to complete the training.
So, Chen Jiyuan stood up, got up and went to the court to exercise. Ivanka and Britney continued to discuss on the long side.
