The reason why Su Chen had to make a trade plan for Josh Smith and Iguodala in such a hurry was mainly because it was cheap.

The Warriors and Jazz Nuggets made a three-way trade to get Iguodala.

The price to pay is Richard Jefferson, Andris Biedrins, Brandon Rush, and a future second-round pick.

If it weren't for Su Chen's use of Richard Jefferson as a championship starter, Richard Jefferson would have been just a veteran who couldn't play in the original chips.

It can be said that the Warriors almost did not lose their combat effectiveness in the case of Iguodala this Finals FMVP.

The reason why the later Warriors were called Cosmic Warriors is because of this kind of trade, as well as Curry's child labor contract.

Even if Durant doesn't join the Warriors later, the Warriors' salary structure can still sign an All-Star-caliber player.

Therefore, for the universe, Yong can be dismantled.

Curry Thompson's Green Triangle is no longer impossible to destroy, so from these aspects, Iguodala will not give the Warriors even if he loses a first round.

Moreover, Iguodala himself is also helpful to the Timberwolves.

And Josh Smith, too, is very cheap.

It's not just the Hawks who dislike Josh Smith, even Josh Smith is asking for a trade to play on a competitive team.

The Pistons also paid little to no price for trading to Josh Smith.

Why is Su Chen so focused on trading?

It's not because in a bitter cold place like Minnesota, there are no star-level free agents willing to join.

This year's free market is actually quite a lot of big fish.

Howard, Paul, both became free agents.

Other well-known free agents include Andrew Bynum, Al Jefferson, David West, Paul Millsap, Ray Allen, and others.

But none of these players can be attracted.

There are usually only two ways for the Timberwolves to have a star-caliber figure.

One is trading, and the other is developing rookies on their own.

Not many stars are willing to take the initiative to come to Minnesota's small ball market.

"Go get in touch with the Bulls, I'm interested in Lore Deng."

Su Chen said to Dennis Lindsay.

Lore Deng?

Dennis Lindsay checked the data, Lore Deng averaged 16.5 points per game last season, and they advanced to the second round of the playoffs last season thanks to Lore Deng and Boozer.

However, the star was not good enough and was easily eliminated by the Heat Big Three 4-1.

"Rose is going to pay next season, and Lore Deng could try to make an offer, but they don't have a chance to trade Lore Deng, and we may have to pay more chips if they want to trade it."

Dennis Lindsay said to Su Chen.

"Of course, there will be more chips, and you will make an offer with Lefou."

Su Chen said lightly.

Hearing this, Dennis Lindsay almost scared the pen in his hand.

Who is Lefou?

In the 2011~2012 season, Lefu was able to score an exaggerated average of 26+13 per game, even if he only played 18 games last season, he was still that gorgeous double-double machine.

Lore Deng has made two All-Star and All-Defensive Second Team to date.

But Love not only has a good number of All-Star times, but also has been selected to the All-NBA Second Team and the rebounding champion.

Judging from the honor alone, the two are half a grade behind, and then half a grade apart from the data.

Su Chen actually tried to use Lefu to quote Luo Er Deng, and he didn't know how to play anymore.

"It's not just a quote for a Lore Deng, plus their third-year rookie Jimmy Butler this year, is a necessity."

Su Chen smiled.

Lore Deng is fake, Butler is real.

It's just that in order to match the salary, and to relax the bull's vigilance, Luo Er Deng is the main body of the transaction.

Su Chen also thought about whether it was possible to take a first-round round to offer Butler.

But now Butler has faintly become a trend of non-sale products for the Bulls, and taking the first round to make an offer without authorization can only be a surprise.

Moreover, Lore Deng is still at the peak of his career, and from the perspective of a championship, Lore Deng's super 3D will only be fragrant.

If you make an offer with Lefou, you will only make money and not lose money.

In the following season, Butler has already ushered in rapid growth, and can be selected to the level of the best defensive second team.

Although the Bulls have the idea of cultivating Butler, with the temptation of Lefou, the Bulls should still agree to the struggle.

After all, the Bulls are not so confident in Butler's talent, after all, Butler is only a player with a 30th pick in the first round, and lack of talent is Butler's biggest shortcoming.

What is the value of the transaction now?

You can take a look at the offers made by several teams at that time for Lefou.

The Warriors were the first to offer David Lee and Barnes, and then the Timberwolves asked the Warriors to add more, and the Warriors really added it.

It's still Thompson who added.

If it weren't for the Timberwolves and the Lions opening their mouths to chase the dream of Green and draft picks, maybe the era of the Warriors would have been ruined before it was established.

Let's take a look at the later one, what is the offer of Aegie to Lefu who used Gobert to rob the Timberwolves for ten.

At the time, Ange was still with the Celtics, and Angie was willing to use the No. 6 pick in the first round, plus Jeff Green, Salinger and Brand Buss, and if the Timberwolves were not satisfied, Ange was even willing to add Rondo as well.

This chip may be worse than the Warriors', but this person is Angie, and it is enough to let such a stingy Angie have so many chips to see the trade value of Love at that time.

And it was when he saw more and more teams coming up with more and more chips to offer Lefou, and Anji was unwilling to quit.

At what cost did the knight get Lefou?

It used last season's No. 1 pick Bennett, and that season's No. 1 pick Wiggins, plus a 2016 first-round pick to get LeFou.

At that time, Bennett had not completely watered, he had only played for a season, which belonged to the scratch but not completely scratched.

If it weren't for the Pacers, it would be impossible to trade Paul George, and the Pacers already have West and Roy Hibbert, who played in the Eastern Conference Finals last season.

There is even a chance to make an offer for Paul George with Lorefour.

The Pacers nearly upset the Heat last season, and it is almost impossible to rebuild the roster.

is an offer for a first-class 3D like Lore Deng, plus a top defender like Butler, in fact, it is not a loss.

There is no way to lose money on the surface, and if you don't suffer losses on the surface, it will not be able to impress the bull who has no trading ideas.

If these deals can be made, Brother Alphabet's draft pick this year is not high, and it will be easy to win.

There is also Gobert, the Timberwolves' most beloved one, who is also very low in the ranks, and it is not very difficult to get it.

Then the Timberwolves already have a lineup of Butler, Iguodala, Lore Deng, Antetokounmpo, Josh Smith, and Gobert.

In addition to Iguodala's height of 1.98 meters and Gobert being an insider, these two cannot trigger the striker bond.

Everyone else can trigger the striker's bond, and Butler is 2.01 meters.

With the advent of the small-ball era, the Duotun forward line is certainly not wrong.

"Butler?"

Dennis Lindsay also came out, and what Su Chen really wanted was Butler, the player.

"By the way, there's Middleton that the Pistons can trade, and you can get me too."

Su Chen said to Dennis Lindsay.

Dennis Lindsay is a little unfamiliar with the name Middleton, and he has to check the information.

Middleton, who was the ninth pick in the second round, appeared off the bench in 27 games with the Pistons, averaging 6.1 points per game.

It's too easy for this kind of player to want to trade, and Dennis Lindsay casually agreed.

He didn't bother to ask why Su Chen took a fancy to him.

"76ers' Nick Young, you go and ask for the price, they have been trading Nick Young recently, if it's cheap, they can get it."

Su Chen continued to Dennis Lindsay.

Dennis Lindsay continued to take notes with a blank face.

It seems that this is quite a lot of work.

"Oh, by the way, what about their chips?"

Dennis Lindsay remembered the question.

"There's no non-sale, they give it to whoever they like."

"It's okay to keep a Rubio."

For the Timberwolves veterans, Su Chen only ordered Rubio.

Rubio is a traditional point guard, and sometimes he plays off the bench and combs the team well.

And Rubio's salary is not high, just more than 3 million, no matter how good he is to play as a starter.

And for Rubio is not a sale, if the opposite side is not biting Rubio, then it can also be considered.

Even Love has been traded, and these Wolves veterans have nothing to keep.

As for the problem of too many tacit understanding of new players, this is even more worrying.

After discussing it for a while, Dennis Lindsay was also a little tired.

Feelings Su Chen only moved his mouth, and he still needed to do everything.

It can't be helped.

After all, Su Chen is just a tactical commentator, he can formulate a direction, but he can't operate it specifically.

After all, there are a lot of considerations to be made in the trade, what salary is equalized, and draft picks can't have this clause and that clause year after year.

Professional things are left to professional people to do.

He is only responsible for developing a plan to pick up the leaks.

"Okay, that's probably it."

Dennis Lindsay closed the notebook.

Su Chen's series of requests made him really tired when he heard it.

Grab a glass of water and drink some water to moisten your throat.

"Oh, and one more thing, help me get a first-round pick this year."

Su Chen said to Dennis Lindsay.

Burst!

Dennis Lindsay, who drank the water, was directly shocked and squirted water.

"Just to get these transactions, the assets we can use are almost moved, where are the assets to do the first round, and they are still ahead."

"If you want to talk about the second round, I can also directly talk to the boss about spending money to buy some directly."

Dennis Lindsay was speechless.

Do you really think of him as a donkey?

The key is to make the first round out of thin air, and the donkey doesn't have the ability!

"Don't get excited, don't we still have Derrick Williams, we can add him to our future first-round pick for another first-rounder."

"And it doesn't require too much, the top 10 is good."

"As for trading our second first-round pick a little bit upwards if conditions allow, it would be better to trade two or three of our own picks up."

Su Chen smiled.

Derrick Williams was selected by the Timberwolves in the 2011 round-robe.

Last season, he was able to contribute an average of 12 points and 5 rebounds per game, which was a scratch but not a complete scratch.

Because his efficiency is not very high, but the talent is really talented, and there is still a certain training value.

The Timberwolves have two first-round picks this season.

In fact, the second first-round pick is not traded upward, and it is almost possible to get Gobert by pressing the line.

But Su Chen was worried that because of the butterfly effect, he took away the player he liked from a certain team, and the second choice was Gobert.

Therefore, it is safer to trade a little higher.

"Really want to move Derek Williams?"

Dennis Lindsay asked with a frown.

If you want to use Derrick Williams, plus you can use a future first-rounder, then trading a top-10 pick is not a problem.

And this price code is overflowing, and it is completely possible to pull a three-way trade and give the Timberwolves their second first-round pick to the upward trade.

"Am I kidding, I signed a bet agreement to make the playoffs."

Su Chen smiled helplessly.

When Dennis Lindsay heard this, he also felt that Su Chen was not messing around.

And don't dare to come nonsense.

Su Chen has entered the league until now, don't look at how the championship coach is and the general manager of the Timberwolves.

In fact, Su Chen didn't get much money at all.

When the Warriors won the championship, it was still a cheap assistant contract.

As the general manager of the Timberwolves, he only signed a one-year contract, and it was still a contract with a gambling agreement, and if he didn't make the playoffs, he would not be paid.

With the experience of messing around with the Timberwolves, Su Chen's reputation in the league has also been pulled, and basically no team will look for him as a head coach anymore.

"Okay, I'll do as much as you ask."

Dennis Lindsay nodded.

He can give advice, but he can't make decisions on his own, otherwise he will have to get out of the playoffs with Su Chen.

Since Su Chen is responsible, he doesn't care so much, and goes all out to talk about it.

"I'm looking forward to the new season."

Su Chen sat in the office, lying on a chair and laughing.

It has been a while since Su Chen served as the general manager of the Timberwolves.

During this time, Dennis Lindsay was tired of being a dog, not only talking on the phone but also flying around.

Because of the trading plan given by Su Chen, the Timberwolves are basically the losing side, and other teams feel that they have a advantage and do not take advantage of it.

Most of the transactions were relatively smooth.

It's just that these transactions haven't been officially announced yet, but it's almost there, and Su Chen feels that it's not too late to wait for all the negotiations to be finalized before slowly making an official announcement.

"Sue, Iguodala's trade went wrong, and the Warriors added their chips."

"It seems that the Warriors know that we are competing with them, so they directly increase the weight, and now the Nuggets are sitting on the ground and starting the price."

Dennis Lindsay made a phone call.

After Su Chen heard this, he didn't speak immediately.

He didn't know if it was because the Warriors wanted Iguodala or if Lacob was targeting him.

But for whatever reason, it's not that simple for the Timberwolves to take Iguodala.

"What do the Nuggets want us to add."

Su Chen said slowly.

"The Nuggets asked us to add Rubio, it's just a robbery, or we don't want it."

Dennis Lindsay said this and got angry.

When the Nuggets saw that the Warriors and Timberwolves were coming to grab Iguodala, they directly raised Iguodala's price.

Rubio's trade value is still very high today.

Although drafted with the fifth overall pick in 2009, Rubio didn't enter the NBA until the 2011 season and has now played two seasons in the league.

can contribute an average of 10 points and 8 assists per game, while also averaging 2.3 steals per game, which belongs to a very talented traditional point guard.

Su Chen clenched his fists, if it was usual, the Nuggets would rob him directly.

But Iguodala can't let the Warriors get, especially since he is building a forward team, and Iguodala can defend himself alone.

Both the Timberwolves and the Warriors are in the West, and if they want to break out of the West, the Warriors are a strong opponent they must face.

Iguodala to the warriors is tantamount to the enemy.

"Out!"

Su Chen gritted his teeth and said.

"Huh? What's out? ”

Dennis Lindsay didn't react for a moment.

"If the Nuggets want Rubio, then give him Rubio, and the Warriors will let him if they want to come up with better chips."

Su Chen said with a cold snort.

Whether or not Lacob was targeting him, he definitely wouldn't have given Lacob such an easy time to get Iguodala.

After he added Rubio to raise the price, if the Warriors still want to force a change, it will hurt the system.

The Warriors want to get Iguodala without breaking their bones, how can there be such a good thing.

"Okay."

Dennis Lindsay shook his head helplessly.

Of course, he didn't know that Su Chen's goal was never the playoffs, but the finals.

In Su Chen's eyes, the Warriors are the biggest opponents in the West.

Rubio's three-point problem, and the lack of defensive size, is actually just as average in the small-ball version.

As for the problem of not having a point guard, don't worry.

In this new forward lineup, there are actually quite a lot of points with the ball, and there will even be a situation where the ball is not enough to score.

It's just that there are no traditional point guards, and there will be a little less tactical options, but that doesn't matter.

A few more hours passed.

"The Warriors didn't change any more, and we made a deal with the Nuggets."

Dennis Lindsay reported to Su Chen.

"Good, thank you."

Su Chen also breathed a sigh of relief.

It seems that in his first fight with Lacob this time, it was he who came out victorious.

It's just that the middleman of the Nuggets has been cheapened, and he has got some benefits.

However, next season's Nuggets won't even have enough playoff intensity, and Su Chen doesn't bother to bother with them, so let them take Rubio and leave it silly.

After a few more days, most of the Timberwolves trade was done.

Thereupon.

The Timberwolves' trading information began to constantly refresh the trading market information column.

First, the Josh Smith deal was revealed, but the deal was relatively cheap and didn't attract much attention.

But right away, Iguodala's heist deal was released.

It immediately caused an uproar.

"Hey! Trading chips is enough, so why add a Rubio? ”

"Iguodala only averaged 13 points per game with the Nuggets last season, is he still the 76ers' little AI?"

"It is said that because the Warriors participated in the price increase, the Timberwolves were forced to increase the price by one Rubio."

"The Nuggets have made a profit!"

"Su Chen, the layman general manager, was targeted by Lacob for his first debut, and it seems that Lacob is angry about Su Chen's running away."

"Pekovic's high-quality 16+8 inside line was traded out like this."

"Isn't Kirilenko also traded, I don't know what Su Chen is thinking."

"It seems that Su Chen's ability to trade is not as good as one-tenth of his ability to coach, and the Timberwolves have suffered a big loss this time."

The Timberwolves suddenly became the target of ridicule across the league.

Even Timberwolves fans didn't dare to speak at this time, and were quietly ridiculed by fans of other teams across the league.

Most Timberwolves fans also feel that this deal, their own team has indeed been robbed, and it is really bitter to say.

If this is the case, it can also make Timberwolves fans swallow their anger.

The next blockbuster deal directly shocked the whole league.

The Timberwolves-Bulls trade is done! The Timberwolves sent Kevin Love, Luke Rednow, the No. 26 pick in the first round, and Lore Deng, Jimmy Butler, and the No. 20 pick in the first round for the Heat. 》

Lindsay added an extra Reinold and then swapped first-round picks with the Bulls.

For this transaction, Su Chen was satisfied.

Although Gobert was originally the No. 27, the Timberwolves' No. 26 pick may not necessarily be able to sign Gobert because he disrupted the draft order.

That's the Timberwolves' most beloved Gobert, the 10-for-1 Gobert!

However, after hearing the news, even the Timberwolves fans who swallowed their anger have already turned against the management and scolded the management.

It's just too much of a bully.

This Su Chen wouldn't be happy if he didn't squander the Timberwolves' family funds, right?

Such a loser?

But for the rest of the melon-eating fans across the league, it brought them joy.

Although it looks like it's three for three.

But in essence, it's a one-for-one exchange between Love and Lore Deng.

"Hahaha, I have a suggestion, if you really don't like Lefou, you can put it on the shelf and see how much other teams like Lefou."

"Lore Deng has proven last season that his offensive ability with the ball is really limited, and he is still in a first-class 3-and-D position, trading a double-double machine for a 3-and-D."

"Being robbed by the Nuggets, it can also be said that Su Chen made the mistake of a rookie as a rookie, but this transaction is really not forgiven because of the rookie."

"The Bulls are too strong now, after Rose pays, they have a lineup of Rose + Love + Boozer, and a strong one in the East has begun to form."

"Don't underestimate Reynold, he still has the firepower to average more than ten points per game, which can supplement the scarce firepower of the Bulls' bench."

"Did Su Chen take any benefits from the Bulls, and are he ready to go directly to the Bulls next season?"

"The Timberwolves are the biggest losers, but the good thing is that they still have Derrick Williams and can be trained well."

"Now the Timberwolves can only practice Derrick Williams more, although the performance was not very consistent last season, but the talent has been shown."

The Timberwolves' successive exposed transactions fell into a situation of ridicule on the whole network.

Fans of other teams are watching the Timberwolves' jokes wantonly.

Except for Bulls fans, though.

Bulls fans are thanking the Timberwolves at this time, calling the Timberwolves a benefactor-like existence.

Last season, Lore Deng attacked with the ball and his poor performance in the playoffs made many Bulls fans cry out.

Now that he has been promoted directly from Lore Deng to Love, and with the comeback of Rose, the Bulls have become a championship contender.

Such a team's offensive talent is second only to the Heat Big Three in the East, and that is the youngest MVP Rose!

With a second-in-command like Lefu as a helper, it's like a tiger with wings!

However, some other teams in the East are scolding the Timberwolves.

For example, the Pacers, who reached the Eastern Conference finals last season, originally had a super team like the Heat in the East, but now the Timberwolves have funded another super team.

Many Eastern teams are full of complaints about the behavior of the Timberwolves.

Now for the comfort of Timberwolves fans, that is, they still have an example to practice, and they can look forward to it.

Rubio and Love were traded, and there was little potential to be tapped into in the exchange for the people.

If Josh Smith still had potential, the Hawks wouldn't be so cheap.

After Iguodala left the 76ers, his offensive level was basically in a state of decline, let alone expectation.

Not to mention Lore Deng's words, just look at the reaction of Bulls fans right now, and it will tell the story.

As for Jimmy Butler:

One look at the data is mediocre, and then look at the order of the tail of the first round, no data and no talent.

After trading a large number of people.

Now that the Timberwolves have fun watching the game, it will be interesting to see if Derrick Williams will evolve in any way.

Perhaps, under Su Chen's system, it is not necessary that Derek Williams has been stimulated to be talented.

Timberwolves fans have made up for the Warriors playoffs after knowing that Su Chen became the coach of the Timberwolves.

Now Timberwolves fans know that although Su Chen is very incompetent in trading, they still admit it as a coach.

Let Su Chen practice Derrick Williams' three-point shooting, and at the same time cooperate with Derrick Williams's explosive physical talent, it is still very easy to complete some smooth internal cuts.

At the same time, if the defense is practiced, then Derek Williams can serve as the best endpoint in Su Chen's tactical system.

Quick offensive and defensive transitions are also something that Derrick Williams can achieve with his physical gifts.

Now Timberwolves fans are really comforting themselves, and they are looking forward to Su Chen being able to train Derrick Williams out, even if he plays an eighth-round tour on this basis.

Timberwolves fans feel that it is okay to accept it.

This is also a Timberwolves fan, if it is replaced by a Knicks fan or a fan of other giant teams, he will have to chase Su Chen and scold him now.

As a fan of this perennial fishing team, the mentality of Timberwolves fans is also good.

Even though they have been ridiculed by the whole network, Timberwolves fans are still comforting themselves.

He was even convincing himself that he would forgive Su Chen.

Dennis Lindsay began to wipe a cold sweat after seeing some of the comments from Timberwolves fans.

Because just now, he had already negotiated Derrick Williams and swapped it for a high draft pick.

I wonder what Timberwolves fans will think when they learn the news?

Dennis Lindsay has decided that when the official announcement is made, try to get the staff not to advance his name.

He didn't want to be angered by the fans, this deal was not his decision in the first place, he just gave Su Chen a shot.
