"What? Are you sure? Starting in place of Curry? Isn't it too fast? ”

"Of course it's true, let's wait for good news in a few days."

Little Thomas is really a man without a back head, and he just jumps away with his ass in the sky, and his ass is what he is now.

Jiang Chao inherited $2 billion at the beginning, and he didn't float as much as he is now.

As everyone knows, he has been sentenced to death by Jiang Chao.

After Thomas Jr. left, Jiang Chao directly called Sean Marks' office:

"You, Stevens and D'Antoni, three of them come to the office."

"Now?"

"Right now."

"Okay!" Sean Marks hurriedly replied.

"Eh, I'm not worried this year."

Jiang Chao leaned back in his chair and waited for them to arrive, rubbing his temples with a headache.

It's true that the young team has such a painful period in three years, and it is a bit difficult to manage.

It's not like they were all new people at the beginning, and everyone started a business together.

Now when you have the backbone after winning the championship, you can come out as a newcomer, but definitely not in this way.

Sometimes patience is more important than outbursts.

When Thomas Jr. opened his door and said this, Jiang Chao knew that this person couldn't stay in the Knicks.

Otherwise, sooner or later it's a ticking time bomb.

The essential difference between him and Brother Li's knock on the door is that Brother Li came back from an injury and didn't start with a confused face, not his own mistakes.

Thomas Jr. bypassed the coaching staff and management and directly told him, the boss, to ask for rotation, which is both ancient and modern times, and the consequences of skipping the report are generally not very good, not to mention that Thomas Jr. is not here to pay tribute, but to promote his own interests.

Jiang Chao didn't think he knew people well, and the little Thomas in later generations was already like this.

That year, the Green Army thought that it was impossible for him to be traded, but he was "thrown away" by Angie every minute, and only after being beaten by the society did he know that he was wrong, and then no one wanted him when he was looking for a job everywhere.

Of course, this has something to do with his gluteal muscle injury, and Jiang Chaoxuan also chose him because he does have MVP-level strength on the offensive end, and the king of the stubble is not blown, which is really proven.

Moreover, even if he had to trade, his current trading value should be very high.

When Sean Marks entered the office with Stevens and D'Antoni, Jiang Chao asked this question first.

"It's true that after these four or five games, a lot of teams offered him, but I didn't respond."

Sean and Marks looked at Jiang Chao strangely, not knowing what happened and why little Thomas was suddenly mentioned.

Then Jiang Chao said that little Thomas came to the office to find himself just now.

"What?? This stinky boy still wants to stabilize the second rotation?? Still want to squeeze out Beverley's place? Dream on, Beverley's defense, which he can only achieve by reincarnation in the next life. D'Antoni spoke more impulsively and scolded directly.

The other two also sank after hearing Jiang Chao's words, to be honest, it was their management dereliction of duty when such a situation happened, because how to say that the Knicks are only Jiang Chao's investment products, how can they allow this kind of player trivial matter to trouble Jiang Chao?

You must know that Sean Marks will only take the initiative to find Jiang Chao before he decides to trade or draft every time.

If you have to communicate with Jiang Chao about any transaction trend, then what do you need him to do as a general manager????

Therefore, when Thomas Jr. appeared in this situation, he asked his direct subordinates to write a letter of reflection in the unit.

So Stevens is also very decisive:

"Boss, don't worry, there won't be this situation in the future, these games are the ones I gave him too much time to make him inflated, and I will definitely not let him have this illusion that he can be rotated in the second rotation in the future!"

D'Antoni also nodded, saying that this would arrange a training session for Beverley's single-defense Thomas Jr. to let him know what a real championship-level defense is!

You must know that Beverley was the hero of the Knicks' championship when he won the championship, and without his defensive passion, how could he break the outside group of the Heat?

Sean Marks also nodded, although he felt that Thomas Jr. was a very powerful player, but if he turned over the mistake of principle, he would have made it, and they would have to pursue it themselves.

Boss Jiang, who single-handedly chose him, is pursuing this matter, so it must be dealt with strictly.

NBA teams also have a little bit of hierarchy, and this season is not even halfway through, do you want to be in the second round of the roster with a second-round pick, and you want to go to the sky?

Stevens egalitarian basketball will give Thomas Jr. a chance to replace him with Popovich, and now Thomas Jr. can't play a minute in the regular season.

Jiang Chao didn't interrupt and listened to them.

But what they don't know is that Jiang Chao is directly going to expel Thomas Jr. from the Knicks because of this incident!

No way, he is a man who has opened his eyes, once this kind of thing happens, he can know what will happen later.

He didn't want to wait for the day when things got bigger, so he killed it at the source.

If he hadn't taken care of it, what would have happened later could have been imagined.

Fast forward to –

After replacing Beverley, he played a single game 40+ performance, and then was touted by fans as the strongest second-round show, the king of the last quarter.

After the playoffs, he even targeted the position of starting point guard Curry and wanted to try his hand at starting......

After the coach did not give the starter, he told the management that he wanted to ask for a trade or to renew the big contract early......

The contract year data exploded, and the offseason and management turned on the other side, causing the Knicks to have to trade him......

Maybe he can win the championship in the process, but this kind of thorn will make the credit for winning the championship all his, that is, the ability of the person and the inflated personality of grandstanding, it is very suitable for a big ball market like New York......

But it is not suitable for the team built by Jiang Chao.

The current Knicks don't allow people to jump like this!!

Therefore, when the three people in front of him were waiting for Jiang Chao to answer, Jiang Chao waved his hand:

"No, no, no, no, how can you press him on the bench, such a useful player, starter, you must play the starter to try!"

"Huh?? No way, it's Curry as the starter!! ”

D'Antoni was anxious when he heard it, Thomas Jr. was targeting Curry's position, how could he replace Curry's role, this is also too exaggerated.

Sean Marks didn't look at Jiang Chao's expression, and immediately said with a deep groan: "Although Thomas Jr.'s positive and negative efficiency is really high recently, there is no need to try it at the start...... This will also cause infighting in the team, and besides, the boss, you didn't call us here to correct him......"

Originally, Jiang Chao said that this matter meant that Thomas Jr. wanted to become a serious rotation, but it was difficult for Jiang Chaozhen to have this attitude.

But when Stevens spoke, they all looked at Jiang Chao's smiling expression.

Young Marshal: "Can't you see that Boss Jiang is talking back?" ”

Because Jiang Chao said it with irony, he couldn't hear it if he didn't listen carefully.

"What do you say, boss!!"

"Do you think he could really replace our starting defenders??? It can't be replaced now, and he has to leave if he does this, but the four of us know about it. Jiang Chao also directly said his plan.

"Walk ?????"

The three Knicks executives were all scared, this is too decisive, right?

Thomas Jr. has just signed his contract for less than four months, and this is about to be traded???

It was personally chosen by Jiang Chao!

This......

Sean Marks doesn't understand Jiang Chao's brain circuits a little, since you think he can't do it, why choose him?

But Jiang Chao reminded the three of them in one sentence:

"Didn't you also say that he has the highest transaction value now?"

"Definitely, the rookie contract, played an average of almost 20+6 per game, and any fish belly team is a big core with the ball!"

Sean Marks slapped his palms, and I have to say that if he really wants to trade, this can definitely make him, the general manager, show his strengths, it's too fragrant!

This kind of rookie is generally regarded as a treasure by the team, because the contract still expires in two and a half years.

Jiang Chao is actually going to sell it now?

Although the four of them know it now, they still think it's incredible, and anyone with a discerning eye can see that as long as this 175 little one is cultivated, it must be an offensive core.

And this kind of big core is self-contained like Irving, and when he needs to score a single or a block, it's all over, and the NBA's tactics are sometimes so unpretentious.

"Boss, are you sure?" The young marshal must have a pity from the perspective of the coaching staff, this is not easy to cultivate one, let it go so quickly, to be honest, unwilling.

He's a coach who is good with his players and he wants to get all his energy out of it.

But if Beverley may target the team's starting point guard Stephen Curry in the future, as the owner said, then it can be said that it has touched everyone's backscales, and who doesn't like elementary school students?

"Sure, even though we lost Mills because of him, I'm sure he got someone better than him."

"Really...... Better ......"

The mustache D'Antoni muttered in his heart, this is unlikely, Thomas Jr.'s current performance is at most a rookie from other teams, it is impossible to get any stars, and it may be a future draft pick, but the future is in the future, and the Knicks will strive for two consecutive championships this year.

If you want to change and change the combat power, look at the rookie guards in the league who can get this data, and it will be ...... Irving and the Bobcats' Kemba Walker, it's impossible to change, and the Knicks have to take the initiative to change, and the exchange is basically an ordinary reincarnation player.

"We don't take the initiative to change, and now several teams have contacted me to make an offer." Sean Marks reminded everyone not to leak out, as long as the other party doesn't know that the Knicks are going to take the initiative to trade Thomas Jr., then the advantage is in the Knicks.

"So, you have to make his data better to make his transaction more valuable, right?"

"Boss, tell me more!"

"Listen up!"

Stevens sighed: "I'll say okay first, if you want to change it, you will also change the guard...... Beverley is really not very good offensively, and if he can't switch to a defender, I don't agree. ”

Jiang Chao nodded: "Let's talk in the conference room." ”

The four of them moved to the conference room next door, and Jiang Chao made a preliminary decision, that is, Thomas Jr. must be traded before Christmas this year.

Christmas people are very important, it is not good to trade players after Christmas, let the players go to other teams to pack their luggage before Christmas, and prepare for Christmas with peace of mind.

Christmas at a new team is much better than having Christmas with the parent club and the management who are already absent-minded, and it's good for both parties.

For this reason, there is no way to sacrifice some victories when he brushes the data, and he can still pull the record after Christmas.

There are about 12 games left before Christmas, which is enough for Thomas Jr. to brush up on good numbers.

The purpose of brushing out data is to be able to sell it for big fish, and it is most effective to deceive other management to use data to speak.

In case of continuous performance in the last 3 games, brushing an average of 20+8 per game, maybe some teams may not necessarily replace the starting point guard, Thomas Jr. is only 21 years old, this is the future.

"Do the opposite, it's easy to fish!"

Now the old fox with a mustache finally reacted, Jiang Chao wanted to use the time before Christmas to let him brush up data fishing.

"Definitely, Thomas Jr. thinks he is very good, he wants the ball, he doesn't want to play garbage time, then give him plenty of opportunities, let everyone see how hung he is, no matter how good the stats are, I won't change my mind."

"Understood." The management is not stupid, they also know the ceiling of Thomas Jr., and when it comes to the playoffs, when everyone is defending with all their might, how can you hesitate to succeed every time? Height is a hard injury, and the offense is still much worse than Curry Harden, and if you can change your value to a good player, then it's right to let go.

"But these have to be hidden from the players, the players are not mentally mature, and most of them have big mouths."

"It's for sure, the players know it, and Thomas Jr. knows it every minute." The four people in the conference room all nodded in tacit agreement.

As the head coach, the young coach proposed to Jiang Chao: "It's not good to start directly, why don't you let him replace Beverley first?" The starters are so exaggerated that Curry can't sleep at night, and he can't think of us for hundreds of reasons. “

"Haha, okay, it's still early Christmas anyway, as long as his stats are good, it's okay if he doesn't start, or take a few turns off Curry and let Thomas Jr. start." Jiang Chao quickly taught by hand.

"OK, understood."

The mustache laughed too, and if Beverly knew about it, he would probably scold his mother.

Beverly: Meow meow?

This is used as a test by management.

However, later they found out that Beverley was a real Knicks, and after being squeezed out of the rotation time, he was just training hard, and he didn't mean to complain, he knew that he was not good at offense, but he also knew that his defense was very top, and to a certain extent, it helped Thomas Jr. enter the super scoring champion state when he was competing for MVP in advance.

"When the right opportunity comes, put him on the shelf and let him roll."

Jiang Chao also told Sean Marks in the end that he could negotiate after squatting to ask for a team.

"Which one?" The other three all stared.

"The Warriors."

"Uh-huh???" Sean Marks opened his eyes wide, he grabbed Curry under the Warriors 3 years ago, and it is not easy to trade with them, right?

Wright forget it, Warriors owner Lacob has made it clear that he doesn't associate with Jiang Chao, but I have to say that Lacob is really rich and very generous when trading, but they have accumulated a lot of draft picks and are waiting to learn from the Knicks next year.

"Monta Ellis? This one definitely can't be exchanged. ”

"Dorrell White? This player has just been given to the middle class, and he can't be replaced, and a team can't have two middle class contracts. ”

"Charles Jenkins? This year, the rookie selected by the Warriors with the 14th pick in the second round is also quite good, and the second round is exchanged? It's a 1.91m defender, so let's train it. ”

The young marshal and the two guessed that Jiang Chao chose the warriors, and he must have taken a fancy to their players.

But in fact, the Warriors don't have any good players at all, Jordan Hill, who was selected in the first round in 09, is now in the development league and is no longer in the league, which is why Warriors fans are annoyed when they see the Knicks, it should be Curry + Ellis's backcourt double gun now.

Jiang Chao sold a pass to make them think for a while, and then said with a smile:

"Perhaps, we can trade Thomas Jr. for their first-round pick this year?"

"You mean? Clay Thompson??? Sean Marks immediately said that he knew the players on the team inside out.
