Chapter 401: To Each His Own (Part 1)

Min Congda and Silva sat in chairs at the door of the hospital room, discussing a deal that could change the face of the league.

Originally, Min Congda had been thinking about how to send Baron Davis away, which would not only weaken the Clippers, but also satisfy Baron Davis.

After all, the two are good friends, and since Davis wants to be the boss again, he naturally has to fulfill his wishes.

Just as the league canceled the trade between the Lakers, Hornets and Rockets, Min Congda thought, isn't the Hornets the best place for Baron Davis?

Paul was leaving, and the Hornets had a big core spot on the No. 1 position, which Davis was able to fill.

Moreover, the Hornets are where Davis' NBA dream began, and it is the starting point for him to step by step to the top, and many NBA stars have been wandering around for many years, and eventually they will want to return to the original team and end their careers.

The idea of returning to the roots is also present in the NBA, and it is very strong.

So, sending Baron Davis to the Hornets is definitely a good idea.

But what the Clippers want is crucial, and Min Congda definitely doesn't want to get Paul.

The Clippers are coming to Paul, so wasn't the deal for nothing? It's time for next season!

So, the Clippers are a bridge to send Davis to the Hornets and Paul to the Lakers.

As for Gasol and Odom, these championship members, Min Congda absolutely doesn't want them.

I really want to give, get two draft picks to mean it, what kind of bicycle do you want.

After discussing with Silva, Min Congda gave a preliminary transaction plan:

The Clippers sent Baron Davis, Nick Young, a future first-round pick, the Lakers sent Gasol, Derrick Fisher, a future first-round pick, and the Hornets sent Chris Paul, Okafor, next year's first-round pick.

The Clippers get Derrick Fisher, Okafor, and the Hornets' first-round pick next year, the Lakers get Chris Paul, Nick Young, and the Hornets get Pau Gasol, Baron Davis and the Lakers, Clippers first-round pick.

On the face of it, the deal is pretty unfair to the Clippers.

Not only did they send away Barang Davis, the core guard who played a decisive role in the playoffs last season.

And also ate the garbage contract of the Hornets Emeka Okafor.

Okafor may have been the star of the list in 2004, but he was at the peak of his debut, and his rookie season was the best performance of his career.

After that, he went all the way down, and now with a one-year contract of more than 10 million, the second highest salary in the Hornets, he can only contribute 10 points and 9 rebounds per game.

The Hornets have long wanted to get out of this rotten contract, and if the Clippers are willing to take over, the Hornets must be more than happy to do so.

And, both Barang Davis and Gasol are still on the tail of their peak, one is 32 years old and the other is 31 years old.

Davis is still a Hornets veteran, and the team is at least guaranteed at the box office, and the patchwork is another playoff team.

And the Lakers only lost two veterans, Gasol and Fisher, while retaining Odom.

but got a superstar like Chris Paul and a young shooter like Nick Young that the team desperately needs.

Lakers fans must have crooked smiles when they see this deal.

Such a Clipper obviously suffers a loss, and Silva really can't understand the deal of wedding clothes for others.

"Smart, you... This trade is a little too unfair for the Clippers, right? Baron Davis can't compare to Paul, but he's an All-Star caliber player after all, and he played so well in the playoffs last year, you just traded him back to the Clippers and got back a garbage contract and Fisher? ”

Min Congda thought to himself, I did it because it was unfair!

A Black Eight hero, in exchange for a garbage contract and a lifelong enemy, is there a better exchange than this?

As for that draft pick, the combination of Baran Davis + Pau Gasol can make the playoffs, right?

The Hornets also have Ariza and West in the lineup, and with a healthy and good run-in, this lineup may be able to make it to the top half of the West.

Once the Hornets make the playoffs, the Clippers' draft pick from the Hornets isn't worth much.

On the whole, the Clippers are really losing money, and the purpose is to help the Hornets and Lakers match, so that the two teams can get what they need.

In the face of Silva's doubts, Min Congda certainly had to give him a reasonable explanation.

"I made this trade to meet the needs of Baron Davis, who felt there was no place for him with the Clippers and wanted to go to a new team as a centerpiece," he said. He's a good friend of mine, so how can I not be satisfied with his request? ”

"Second, our Clippers team has always been based on a long-term perspective and looked at problems from a development perspective! This one... Fisher made up for our lack of experience at the back, and Okafor ...... We lack dynamism on the inside. As for salary, this is not an issue. ”

"And, of course, draft picks, that's what I'm really looking at."

Having made up a bunch of plausible, decent excuses, Silva was a little moved.

Of course, it was not Min Congda's reason that moved him, but the fact that this deal is likely to calm the anger of Lakers fans, players and public opinion.

That's the most important thing for Silva at the moment.

As soon as he became acting president, he angered the largest fan base in the league.

also let the players and the media criticize him, and no one can stand it.

Paul's trade is definitely going to be done, since Min Cong Daken stood up and suffered a loss and helped the Lakers and Silva make the deal, it is better to push the boat and accept this love.

Those bosses can object once, and they certainly won't object a second time.

Stern was almost, and it was already unpopular for them to do this again.

The two discussed for more than an hour, and after confirming that the deal was viable, Silva called Jenny Buss, who was still in New York, overnight.

Jeanie Buss was overjoyed to learn that the Clippers were going to match up and help the Lakers complete a trade for Paul.

Originally, she was depressed to death, if his brother and Kupchak had not been greedy for merit, communicated with her earlier, and pressed the day of the deal back, this deal might have been completed.

As a result, it hit the limelight of a small city team attacking the Lakers and was canceled by the league.

Lakers management has already started to launch Plan B, and then make other trades to make up for this failure.

Who knows, when the peaks turned, someone actually took a hand to support the Lakers, and it was the general manager of the Clippers, a rival in the same city.

The next day, Jeanne Bass rushed up to Min Congda when she saw him and tried to kiss him, so frightened that Min Congda hurriedly hid behind Silva.

"No, no, Ms. Bass, we Chinese are not used to this kind of etiquette! You don't have to thank me, we just take what we need! ”

Jenny Buss smiled with folds on her old face, she wanted to be 20 years younger, a proper Los Angeles flower, and kissed it.

Now Min Congda won't let the old aunt get close to him, and he doesn't need to eat soft rice.

The three parties met at the NBA headquarters in the Olympia Tower to finalize the deal.

Some people died, but not completely......
