Chapter 59: Negotiation! Thunder No. 3 pick!

Sean Marks was a little excited when he heard it.

If you come up, you have to operate a big deal!

directly asked for the No. 3 signature, which shows how ambitious Jiang Chao is in the eyes of the media!

Generally, the team is the only one who picks their own lotto every year, and it does not require much.

Several will trade upwards.

But Jiang Chao has to sign higher, obviously a better young player.

Jiang Chao has only told him about this matter so far.

It also made Max understand the grand plan of the new boss:

"Understand, the No. 8 pick and future draft picks are not moving, and this deal is being made in the form of player + cash + swap."

Sean Marks nervously dialed the video call from Mr. Pu.

Jiang Chao raised his eyebrows: "One more was missing." ”

Max smiled: "Haha, that's a must, in the most reasonable way (to save money)!" ”

When it comes to saving money, the Spurs are better than anyone else, and after so many years in the trade market, the Spurs have only predicted the failure of players.

But not once did he do a big deal.

Anyway, it's at least an equal deal, and it won't be said that everything is hollowed out for a player or draft pick.

This is an advantage, and Sean Marks is very good at learning.

"Come on!"

Sean Marks rolled up his sleeves and prepared to negotiate:

"Hello, General Manager Plosti."

"Hello, General Manager Sean Marks, long time no see, the last time I saw you, you were still playing."

"yes."

The two exchanged business for a while, saying that they had formed a friendly alliance or something.

Jiang Chao closed his eyes beside him.

Until Mr. Pu took the lead in talking about the draft meeting:

"Hey, Boss Jiang, who are you going to choose in the No. 8 lottery, I'm afraid of colliding with you here, so try not to choose the person you want to choose."

Jiang Chao glanced at the middle-aged mousse who touched his beard in the video:

"James. Harden. ”

Mr. Pu thought to Gordon:

"He can't be the king of New York, his skills and talent are not top-notch, he needs to be polished."

"Then don't choose him."

Jiang Chao laughed wildly in his heart, what are you pretending, there is a kind of you don't choose.

Sure enough, Mr. Pu covered up his embarrassment with a smile and opened the next topic:

"I've discussed a lot of options with the team in the past few days, and I'm interested in some of the players in your team, can you talk to each other? I know you're going to have draft picks, and we have first-round picks 3 and 25, and second-round pick 24, which can be used as trade chips. ”

"So, if we make a trade, you can make sure you choose the Harden you want!"

It's coming, it's coming!

Wise people don't speak secret words.

The young general manager is also very direct, does not drag the mud and water, and directly means that the No. 3 signature can also be issued!

The temptation of sugar is coming!

Sean Marks was a little nervous, I had never seen this meeting, I really handled it myself, every decision is about the players and the team, it's no wonder if you don't sweat.

"You issued the No. 3 lot? Are you sure? ”

"That's right."

Mr. Pu had a good impression of him because Jiang Chao recruited him before, and it is true that the two teams can cooperate, one wants a record and the other wants the future, and he will be so determined when he hits it off.

"What do you want?"

Sean Marks asked.

Mr. Pu in the video said directly:

"Harrington + Wilson Chandler + No. 8 pick."

Sean Marks directly refused:

"Impossible, remove the number eight sign."

Just kidding, Harrington is a qualified starter who averages 20.7 points and 6.3 rebounds per game, although the All-Star is not worthy, but he is also a flexible center representative at the peak, and it is uncertain whether the No. 3 pick can be as strong as him in the future.

In Sean Max's opinion, Jiang Chao doesn't want him, one is openly against the boss, and the other may be that he is 30 years old, if he focuses on youth storm, he will definitely not be able to run with the newcomers.

Otherwise, such a player is a panacea, and he can play in the No. 4 and No. 5 positions.

Wilson Chandler is a small forward in his prime, the 23rd Knicks rookie in the first round in 2007, and he broke a bunch of personal records last year, playing 82 games for the Knicks, averaging 14.4 points, 5.4 rebounds and 2.1 assists in 33.4 minutes per game.

The durability attributes and statistics are not bad, and it is not a problem to cultivate a qualified starting forward to replace Saflosa and Jeff Green Thunder in the future.

These two people add up to about the same, but with the addition of the No. 8 lot, there is no need to talk.

Equal to 3 lotto for tanhua?

How big of a draft year is this?

Max's face was pulled down directly:

"I wish it had been more sincere."

Jiang Chao nodded, Sean Marks was okay on the spot, and he obviously knew how to be a trading reciprocal.

"Then the No. 8 pick is replaced by Du Hong, how about it?"

Obviously, Mr. Pu made several sets of plans, and directly came up with another plan after the Knicks refused.

This scheme is obviously more suitable.

Chris Dujon is a rare defensive traditional point guard in the Eastern Conference, and his style of play is to execute tactical intentions with passes, with a low turnover rate and okay outside defense, but his 1v1 offensive ability is very poor.

belongs to a decent control guard, this is a non-offensive player that Jiang Chao doesn't like.

Every player has the ability to C to threaten, otherwise everyone will not guard against you.

Judging from Mr. Pu's request for Du Hong, Jiang Chao has already seen why Mr. Pu wants to make a deal with him.

I see.

These three are very important to the Thunder's current roster.

Two veterans have brought stability to the young Thunder, who lost at least five games due to mistakes in the final minute of last season.

Harrington is equivalent to replacing the slow Collison and the rookie Ibaka who has never played, with mid-range shots and defense, plug-and-play starting interior line.

Du Hong must have been used as a substitute for Wei Shao to control the field, and Wei Shao and Du Hong played in completely opposite ways.

Megatron is a rare impact guard in this era, all kinds of dunks, zombie jumpers or something, but in this way, the rhythm is difficult to control, Downey Sr. chose Dujon last year to let him give the Knicks good control, and the Thunder obviously need such control.

It's just that I didn't expect that it wasn't until 2020 that Mr. Pu ushered in Chris Paul, who was past his prime.

With Du Hong, the Thunder's record next season will not be bad, and on the basketball court, once the rhythm is gone, they will jump to the bottom.

As for Wilson Chandler, he followed the Thunder and charged less, competed with Jeff Green for the starting position, and could also play impact on the bench, which is a good forward blue-collar line.

There is a bounce, a three-point defense, and the ability to defend a power forward!

It's all top-notch supports!

With these three people assisting the scoring champion Durant and the Turtle, the Thunder can even win the championship next season!

You must know that even if they choose Harden, Harden will actually be the sixth man next season, the statistics are not very conspicuous, and Harden's defense is not good, and the real role next season may not be as good as the blue-collar Chandler.

Jiang Chao couldn't help but admire Mr. Pu's vision of looking at the players, at the stage when he was still eating Du Shaowei's rookie contract dividends, coupled with this pile of instant combat power, he could jump into the ranks of the strong team without paying luxury tax and eating three contracts, no wonder the Thunder boss would give him so much power.

But don't say it, Mr. Pu's deal is just right, and there is something to it.

Among the 3 players, 2 are not satisfied with Jiang Chao's thorns, and 1 is an old-school guard who makes up for the role of Wei Shao, the Thunder's record next season will definitely stabilize the top 8, not to mention taking off, and the Knicks will sign the future with No. 3!

Sean Max seemed to be pensive, but in fact, his eyes looked at Jiang Chao, paying attention to the boss's expression.

The deal ..... Seems like it works.

If you want to change the top 3 picks, you have to spend some blood, and scratching the jackpot is much more exciting than the prizes that have already been scratched.

Jiang Chao was thinking.

Take one thing with another.

Mr. Pu's bid compared to other teams made him moved.

Harrington certainly doesn't need him anymore regardless of whether he makes trouble or not, because this guy came to the Knicks last year because he took the initiative to request a trade with Don Nelson, pretending to have a back injury and not playing, and then swapped with Jamal Crawford.

Although he has changed martial arts saints or something before, but if you pretend to be injured and want to trade Jiang Chao, you will be declared a death sentence, and a player like Lenner cannot appear in his team.

Du Hong's words are very chicken, if he wants to train 09 double iron, he has nothing to do, and he can't teach two offensive point guards.

Chandler is a good young player, and later played well in the CBA, but his shortcomings are instability, very unstable projection and rough offensive means, and the jumping man's career will not be too long, but he can also stay.

Chandler wrote the most apology letter in the four-man group......

Compared to them, there are still a lot of Jiang Chao in the team who don't want to rot in their hands.

So he got up and said seriously:

"Mr. Pu, Chandler is replaced by Malik Rose, and I will do this deal."
