Chapter 60: Get the No. 3 lot, Brother Salt, I'm here!
In fact, before Mr. Pu, the Clippers and Grizzly Bear Jiang Chao, who were in the first two picks, took the initiative to contact Liu Yan.
Because he wants to take Harden, he has to do it early, and if he is forced to wait, the daylily will be cold.
Directly let Liu Yan spread the news to their general manager, sign the champion and the list, and bid for the players in our team.
But basically they have no interest in Jiang Chao's side, and they are all rebuilding teams, and they don't need the Knicks' upper-average level of immediate combat power.
On the Clippers' side, Sterling said that he was only willing to give up next year's draft picks in exchange, because they all knew that the team's record would improve after Harrington and other players came, and next year's draft picks would not be so high.
This year's high signing + Harrington, Griffin and Harrington's flexible interior can make a difference for Coach Mike Dunleavy.
The Grizzlies directly refused, we were supposed to pick the interior, and we didn't need your best players.
Of course, the main reason is that Jiang Chao is unwilling to play a single draft pick on his side, which makes the high-ranking team not want to play.
The draft is a draft experience, you are the No. 8 sign to the death, who wants you to have so many players?
Not to mention the Knicks' bunch of garbage contracts, you have to have a bloody family to ask for it.
The second round of the show is not fun, the first round is a basket lottery, the second round is Mark Six, Taobao odds are too difficult.
Dujon and Chandler are both contract years next season, and Harrington is still on a 10 million contract, which is not so easy to take over.
These Jiang Chao have been studied for a long time, so I don't know if it's a coincidence or accident, and the only chance to really get Harden is the Thunder.
And it happens to be a win-win deal.
But Jiang Chao definitely can't show it, only the Thunder is willing to give the Knicks a high-level signing, otherwise it will be Mr. Pu's turn to sit on the ground and raise the price.
β¦β¦
"Huh? Luo Ye? β
Here, Mr. Pu lit a cigarette under the night light and flipped through his notebook.
He's in the same position as Chandler, but he's 34 years old
Luo Ye belongs to the players he played when he was a student, a member of the Spurs last century championship, and later the Knicks traded from the Spurs in two first-rounders.
This is a strong perimeter defender, but he has been injured by the Knicks, and because of his high status, he has a bad temper in the locker room, which is a player with pros and cons.
Sean Marks also had good things to say to him: "He bites like a mad dog on the outside, which can supplement the outside defensive ability of your bench, and the salary is not high, 6.63 million, for a season, if you can't use it up, you can throw it away." β
What Sean Marks said is the truth, anyway, the Thunder will still enjoy the rookie bonus period next season, and Luo Ye's salary will not be able to fire him next season.
Don't say it's ugly to throw it away, if Jiang Chao had thrown it early, he would have been traded by the Spurs to the Knicks for retirement, and he would have been injured for half of the year.
And in history, it was really the Thunder who bought out and gave up the veteran in '09.
"What's more?" Mr. Pu took a breath.
Jiang Chao said with a smile: "He has a certain ability to analyze, and his judgment of the situation on the court and his ability to assist in defense are stronger than Chandler." β
Jiang Chao naturally said good things in front of outsiders, and he also knew that Luo Ye did a good job as a full-time analyst after retiring, and then served as deputy general manager, and even served as Xiao Hua's deputy in 2020.
However, Jiang Chao's reason for kicking this person is also very simple, he is the most rampant in the foursome who block the door, and he is the one who kicks with his feet.
And he is also very disrespectful to the Spurs players, he opened a restaurant in New York, and the restaurant dishes are named after the Spurs players, Elliott or something, there is definitely a problem with his character.
Either a lunatic or a psychopath.
Jiang Chao will definitely trade him out early, it will be a bomb to keep it, there will be more rookies in the team next, for this kind of old bird who likes to bully rookies, I don't know when the locker room will explode because of him.
"Boss, don't be kidding, don't you need such a championship player to bring it to your rookies? Chandler is too many rookies if he stays, right? β
Mr. Pu saw the sincerity in Jiang Chao's eyes that he wanted to trade, but he felt a little speechless.
Can you take advantage of your own side?
Jiang Chao said that the Knicks actually had the advantage, and if this deal was really reached, he would be laughed to death by other management.
You know, other team executives are trying to get wool out of the Knicks.
He also learned that Jiang Chao's own signing was not taken care of, so he stupidly let go of Curry and let him go to Golden State for a trial.
So when Jiang Chao said this, he was unsurprisingly surprised at the same time.
If it's Downey Sr., that's no problem, but it's a 20-year-old!
Now Jiang Chao's request is actually 3 veterans for a third pick?
But does it mean that there is no future at all?
If the opposite side is an ordinary All-Star, he will change in seconds, because of the big gamble, he will directly compete for the championship next season, and if he doesn't succeed, he will become a benevolent.
But the opposite side is an ordinary star, and bet on the third pick that was finally drawn for 3 instant combat power that will stay for a maximum of 2-3 years?
This is not what Mr. Pu wants to see.
Luo Ye does have an attitude on the court, and the Thunder also needs such a person with championship blood, but it is not such a trading method.
"We also have a sincere deal, Mr. Pu, you can finally neutralize it."
Sean Marks had to admire Jiang Chao, and even put forward the chips of the Knicks in front of Mr. Pu, although this year's draft is small, but the No. 3 pick is not so easy.
Nate, Tim Thomas, and Gallinelli don't put anything, just this Luo Ye, it's just right.
The transaction depends on the psychology of both parties, this is a change of Luo Ye, psychologically I feel okay, and I feel that there is less of something.
Is the 20-year-old so young!
Mr. Pu squinted his eyes and was tickled, and after smoking this cigarette in the video, he lit another cigarette:
"Boss Jiang, I'm here with sincerity, you're not enough friends like this."
"I'm a real person, I'll tell you, I can pick a traditional point guard with the 25th pick to pass the ball, but Chandler you have to give it to me."
Jiang Chao smiled secretly in his heart, he took the bait, this trick wanted to be captured.
He actually already knows who Mr. Pu wants most, because everyone thinks that this year's draft is a small year, which is of course a historical limitation.
He actually wanted Wilson Chandler.
Because Chandler's role is similar to the Harden he wants to choose, and he jumps higher, more accurate than the current Harden, and is a perfect fit for the Thunder.
can also be used as a swing man to defend, to put it bluntly, Mr. Pu wants to have such an attacking sixth man this year!
And Harrington is tantamount to letting them upgrade internally, not looking at wages, more like adding heads.
So Jiang Chao also slapped directly after seeing him take the bait:
"Okay! Go for the crown, Mr. Pu! β
Sean Marks also understood what General Chase meant, and the 25th pick was selected as a pass-type point guard, which means that Dujon can or not.
"Harrington + Wilson Chandler + Luo Ye, change your No. 3 pick, you can't go back."
"It shouldn't be, unless you know, Luo Ye suddenly made trouble (I don't want to come to the Thunder or something), and Max, you also know that the draft pick trade will be carried out at the draft conference, and David Stern will announce the No. 3 signing to you at the scene."
"Well, it's okay with the slight changes, we're all very good players." Jiang Chao also knows about this stubble, and the draft is changeable, because many teams trade up or down, and they are carried out on that day.
The league wants traffic, which will make the draft meeting during the live broadcast also very exciting.
"So, I wish us a happy cooperation?"
"Happy working together!"
"Boss Jiang, I think you are a very thoughtful person, when the time comes, we will sign on the 25th, and you can also give some advice."
"No problem, come over a few days in advance, I'll entertain you detonators."
Sean Marks hung up the video: "See you at the draft meeting." β
yesοΌ
Jiang Chao, who ended the conversation, clenched his fists excitedly.
Bearded Brother Salt, come to the palm of your hand!
The Thunder is also waving arms inside the exhilaration, the championship, here we come!
