NBA: Starting with $20 billion, buying the Knicks

Chapter 223 Curry + Harden + Turk Drew + Okur + Yao Ming, what kind of family is this!

Chapter 220 Three: Curry + Harden + Turk Drew + Okur + Yao Ming, what kind of family is this!

"Rocket, you traded away Yao, a player who has been sidelined due to injury, and completely started rebuilding for the record."

"YAO, join the Knicks, and help the Chinese boss attack the eastern powers!"

This is the reason for ESPN's forecast for this transaction, and if this transaction is completed, the rating will be S, which means that everyone gets what they need.

Now ESPN will not treat Jiang Chao and Sean Marks as fools. They know very well that Jiang Chao's team will not do anything to lose money. With so many transactions, the other party may make a small profit, but Jiang Chao will never lose money, okay?

So directly rated S!

Netizens enthusiastically gave what choice they would have if it was Dolan:

"One of David Lee + Gallinelli + Curry or Harden."

"The style of the previous boss is definitely to produce such players, which is what the Rockets have always wanted."

"Hahaha, don't worry, Jiang Chao has kept them until now, it is absolutely impossible for them to come out!"

Maybe those few players who have less communication with Jiang Chao will be worried, but David Lee and Gallinelli are not panicking at all now.

They escaped the draft and were not traded. It is impossible to be traded now. In addition, Jiang Chao talked with them about many things. Gallinelli will be the successor of Tek Drew in the future. The rebounding champion and so on, that is the agreement between them and Jiang Chao.

In the past few days, Sean Marks and Morey exchanged greetings frantically, trying to come up with a satisfactory result.

It has to be said that Dayao helped Sean a lot, and Max killed Dayao and only wanted to come to the Knicks. As a result, even if other teams wanted Dayao, they retreated because they were afraid that Yao would be in Cao Ying and his heart would be in Han.

You must know that if you trade to YAO now, you will use the next season at most, but what about after the next season?

If YAO, whose contract has expired, joins the Knicks directly as a free agent, they will have nothing to do.

So these teams either ask very low prices, or they don't think the Rockets are asking too much. What the Rockets want are future draft picks or expiring veteran contracts. These other teams are also valuable...

There is no team that says they can lead Yao to the championship after owning Yao for one season. The reason they want YAO is to be able to improve their record. Run away after a year of work.

It seems that the Rockets only felt the sincerity of the Knicks!

At the beginning, Morey did bring his favorite rising star Curry in his offer, but Sean Marks rejected it in seconds.

The most embarrassing thing is that Morey is still tireless, saying that he is willing to play McGrady again, that is, Yao Mai will be packaged for the Knicks.

Sean Marks can only lament that time is not forgiving. If this deal had been made five years ago, even if the Knicks were dismantled, it would be fine. Unfortunately, time is a butcher's knife, and now he has come to the point where he dislikes Tracy McGrady.

Because McGrady's style of play is really against the Knicks, even if he comes, he will not be able to play the role of bringing the old to the new, and he is destined to not be able to accompany the team very far.

And Dayao belongs to plug and play, with a body size of 2 meters 26 here.

So he still rejected McGrady's proposal, saying that YAO belongs to YAO, T-MAC belongs to T-MAC, and we can discuss the situation after we figure out the situation.

At this time, Morey also tried to bring in a third party, such as Jerry Sloan. The management of the Jazz is still very good. They now decisively feel that Okur is still needed. After leaving Okur, they are now seventh in the Western Conference. Eight hovered.

And the exaggeration of the first and second strongest in the Western Conference, it only takes one round to enter the playoffs.

So they want to sign back Okur, who still has a one-year contract, in the off-season, so they get the Rockets to trade together.

"We just want to be here now."

Here, Sean Marks was taken aback by such an intrusion, but then he said that we can talk about Okur later, even if you can bring Okur back with an undeniable price during the off season, it has nothing to do with my wanting YAO now .

If everyone finds out that YAO's off-season training state is off the charts, it will be too bad.

Because Jiang Chao reminded Sean Marks that there will be a Men's Basketball World Championships in the off-season this year. If the Chinese national team insists on allowing Dayao to participate, as soon as Dayao's dominance appears, the Knicks will no longer be able to do it as easily as they are now. The ground prevailed and negotiated with the Rockets.

There is also the Suns. Before Stoudemire and Nash can't cooperate and Stoudemire's off-season contract expires, they urgently need Stoudemire and Dayao to try swapping.

Old Downey thinks that the Suns don't have D'Antoni, so it's better to play a good game and try to change to an All-Star insider to cooperate. Will the effect be better?

Coupled with the grievances and grievances with the Knicks, Old Downey was completely clueless when he saw the big fish YAO, and he directly gave out the bully Standmeier who has many fans.

You must know that Xiaobawang is absolutely not for sale in the eyes of many Rimi and the previous management.

However, this proposal was rejected by the Rockets.

It's not because of the Knicks, but because the bully is only suitable for Nash. Can the guards of the Rockets pass good assists to the bully?
So it just fell through, they just look down on Stoudemire, and they are going to train an insider to start all over again, and they want outside players more.

Old Downey was furious, and he directly attributed the reason to Jiang Chao.

He couldn't figure out why the Rockets were so determined based on Jiang Chao and Xiao En's stubborn personalities.

Old Downey also has a bunch of staff here. They can't figure out what New York is talking about? ?
What can they do?

Everyone in the circle knows that Jiang Chao will never get a draft pick.

Can the chips be as good as an All-Star insider like Stoudemire in his prime?
I really can't figure it out!
So he lowered his face and called his son who was working in the Knicks, wanting to humbly ask his son what's going on in New York?
Downey Jr. can't say much, he just said that maybe the Rockets don't want Stoudemire.

But Old Downey didn't believe it, so Downey Jr. naturally said that I didn't know either. After the All-Star Weekend, the two sides started negotiations with YAO. It must be that the boss and Morey had already made an agreement in private.

There is only this reason.

Otherwise, in the eyes of Downey Jr., Jiang Chao is like the god of trading. He obviously took his sister to watch the All-Stars. After the end, the Knicks may usher in a second All-Star? ?

Now the rumors on the Internet, including in the circle, are that the Rockets only talk to the Knicks. What's the situation?Morey was given the ecstasy soup? ?Or is Reebok buying hot searches?

Another biggest beneficiary of YAO's going to New York may be Reebok Sports.

The deepest reason is known to the higher-ups, and Downey can only find the reason himself in the end. Morey only traded with the Knicks in order to cooperate with Yao Ming and his hometown boss and his hometown power forward YI.

Little did he know that Jiang Chao was holding the Rockets by the throat no matter in terms of the media or the team Dayao wanted to go to.

Surrounding Morey led to the situation where the Knicks seem to be negotiating with the Rockets so easily.

In the end, the results of the two parties staying up all night to negotiate came out:
The Rockets played Dayao + Hilton Armstrong.

The Knicks sent Eddie Curry (contract year) + Larry Hughes (contract year) to balance salary + 120 million cash compensation.

The 120 million cash compensation was originally because the Rockets wanted a second-round pick. Sean Marks followed Jiang Chao's approach at the time and directly offered you 120 million. If you buy a second-round pick yourself, there will always be a team that will sell it.

Anyway, don’t ask us to buy it, we’ll keep our second-round picks for fun.

Everyone is obviously happy with this deal. Sean Marks really wants to get Hilton Armstrong, whom both he and Jiang Chao like very much. Sure enough, the 2-meter striker said he wanted to go home, and the Rockets let him go. , with little to no effort.

And Morey was happier with this one, and he had already signaled Sean Marks very depressingly to get the relevant personnel to sign and agree.

I was secretly happy in my heart, already waiting for Alexander to praise him.

Because he didn't expect the Knicks to be so generous and directly give two contract-year contracts. What does this mean? ? ?
This means that after the end of the season, the 2000 million will be vacated again. Coupled with the 1700 million space released after Dayao left, the Rockets directly have 3700 million salary space in the off-season! ! !

Not to mention not having to pay the luxury tax to make the boss happy, this has a lot of room for their managers to maneuver!

You must know that everyone knows that big fish gather this summer, and fans say that the Rockets are bad.

Yes.

I put it straight to the end of this season and get a lottery pick or even a top 5 pick, so I may not be a bad player next season!
What's wrong with picking a strong rookie in the offseason and getting James, Bosh, and Anthony at the same time? ? ?

Their space can completely eat two superstars, so the rocket will take off again!
As long as James comes over, isn't his ability to absorb money stronger than that crooked nut like Yao?
You can still win the lottery with salary space. This kind of reconstruction model can be done in half a year. Can you not be happy?

And the two guys from the Knicks are not bad. Eddie Curry is a small shark, who can make up for the lack of re-tank inside after Yao left, and Larry Hughes can completely replace McGrady's role now, except for shooting. In addition to stability, the defense and impact are still at the level of a starting guard.

Although it looks like an All-Star + marginal rotation striker for 2 starters + 120 million cash, the Rockets know the current ability of YAO, and he also knows best. What kind of All-Star is an All-Star who can only play 10 minutes per game?

So he is boasting that the Knicks are really fierce, and while completely creating a youth storm, he also hopes that they will not regret it so much and sign it quickly! !
YAO was the first to sign the contract, and he didn't expect the Knicks to bleed so much. It is a big deal for players with two contract years to be evenly matched. Whether it is to renew the contract or throw it away, the Rockets have their own space in the off-season.

The Knicks are actually at a disadvantage, because Dayao does not need to renew his contract in advance, and he still has a one-year maximum salary, occupying the Knicks' space of 1768 million US dollars next season, resulting in the Knicks still having less than 2000 million in the off-season. Awkward.

In this space, super giants will not come, and ordinary stars are not enough, it seems that the crowd is even a bit crowded.

All I can say is thank you.

The Knicks did bleed for themselves.

Otherwise, it would be the Knicks with so much space.

According to Jiang Chao's personality, he would never renew his contract with these two players.

As for Morey's eccentricity and hope that you will go to the Knicks without any conflicts, Dayao can only say that he is thinking too much. One thing the players know is that as long as they keep winning, the team will have no conflicts.

Alexander and Zhang Mingji also made it very clear that when this contract ends, no matter whether Yao finally renews his contract with the Knicks or is about to retire, the Rockets will always keep the final retirement contract for Yao Ming.

That is to say, I hope that YAO will retire with the Rockets.

Dayao naturally agreed, and Jiang Chao couldn't stop him, although anyone with a discerning eye knew that the Rockets wanted to make the last wave of money.

But let them earn this wave of money. The Rockets are where Tuyao Meng started. Although he no longer trusts Morey and Alexander, he still has a deep affection for his colleagues here and his teammates who fought together. deep.

The same is true for fans like Jiang Chao. Who didn't pay attention to the NBA and the Rockets because of Tu Yao's entry into the NBA?

It can only be said that Mo Gou Shabi is done, and there is a chance to get rid of him in the future, so that Tu Yao will have a perfect ending in the Rockets in the future.

Thinking of this, Jiang Chao also signed the fax to agree.

The Rockets had already agreed, and Sean Marks signed on the spot.

After inspection by the NBA League, it was stamped at the Houston office.

O**K!

Cool!
Invincible!

Awesome!
Blow up!

When the final transaction contract appeared in Jiang Chao's hands, he scrambled in all kinds of beautiful Chinese.

Liu Yan was stunned:
"Hey, hey... is this really crazy..."

Although she also jumped up happily, she was far less crazy than Jiang Chao.

The deputy general manager D'Antoni next to him is as crazy as Jiang Chao, because the old colleague of the Suns told him that Stoudemire will swap with Dayao, which is better than the Knicks, a group of players who are negative assets for the Knicks How about more!
But in fact, she didn't know Jiang Chao's plan for this transaction, but D'Antoni knew.

It's cool to let the sun fail!

He also didn't expect that Jiang Chao would behave like a little fox when he had a trading opportunity. He, who has seen the old foxes such as Cardinal and West, would be ashamed of himself!

This shit has been around for too long.

You must know that the Rockets have been asking the Knicks since the 09 offseason if they have any thoughts on YAO, but Jiang Chao pretended not to hear it.

Now that the Rockets are in civil turmoil, this shot is really cool!

……

after an hour.

The alliance officially sent a statement of approval, and the biggest deal in the season was completed!
The dust settles!

take off!

Jiang Chao motioned for D'Antoni to inform all departments of the good news, and the next second he closed the blinds, pressed the long-legged senior to crawl under his desk, and stepped up his efforts.

The long legs exposed outside the table are like the tail of a fox, which is extra alluring.

Yao Yi fit together!

I will create the last glory of Dayao's career! !

The Knicks' Haizijin Liang is here! ! !

……

That night.

Big news!

NBA official website:

"The Rockets traded YAO+ Hilton Armstrong to get Eddie Curry + Larry Hughes + 120 million cash compensation from the Knicks. "

"The biggest deal of the season, Rockets veteran YAO was traded to the Big Apple! "

"The Great Wall Airborne in New York! "

"Eddie Curry, Larry Hughes leave Knicks! !Dolan is running out of people left...》

All the sports newspapers sold a few more points because of the NBA headlines.

Because there are too few such transactions involving All-Star players during the season, most of them are trivial. Once there are such transactions involving star swaps, they will attract attention.

"It is said that the Rockets only trade with the Knicks!Jiang Chao is so awesome! "

And because of the cumbersome procedures, it will take more than half a month for Yao Ming to pass the clarification period.

But no one cares about that.

Because in the eyes of many American fans:
"The Knicks want a star who has been injured and hasn't played for a year to eat shit! Is it right for Eddie Curry and Larry Hughes who worked hard to contribute to the team?"

As a result, Larry Hughes sent a long post to thank the Knicks for taking care of him, and directly expressed that he was very happy to come to the Rockets...

The same goes for Eddie Curry. He doesn’t think the Knicks have done anything wrong. Everyone gets what they want. Sean Marks told him in advance that he will get more opportunities if he goes to the Rockets. The lineup didn't suit him.

But in fact, he didn't turn his head around. Then Yao Ming moved as slowly as him when he came. It can only be said that he is not strong enough.

Therefore, the Knicks and these two players also broke up peacefully. Larry Hughes actually knew that he did not belong to the Knicks during the offseason. He has been waiting for this day since Duhon was able to be easily traded as an extra.

Now he can only say that he feels a little regretful, because playing with the Knicks is still very comfortable, young and energetic, it is better than the lifeless last season.

"Curry, keep going!! After I leave, you are likely to be the starter, go!!!"

Larry Hughes, who got the news at the time, was preparing to rest in the away hotel. The roommate on the other bed happened to be his substitute Stephen Curry.

"I've come here with you, and I've taught you everything I can teach you. Boss Jiang is a good man. Don't blame him when I was traded. You guys will make up for the lack of insiders when you have YAO, for nothing~"

Larry Hughes packed his luggage that night, and Curry was sad beside him, but as an NBA player, it is inevitable to experience such moments, and he can only learn to adapt.

Then make yourself stronger! ! !
Eddie Curry, the big boy, is also hugging former teammates David Lee and Big Q, Tim Thomas, Gallinelli next door...

In the post-Dolan era, there are only these 4 old players left.

"You may also be traded, be prepared..." Eddie Curry was still a little unwilling.

But I didn't expect them to look completely indifferent:

"The NBA is a business...that's okay..."

In fact, what is in my heart is:

"You foul Superman, hurry up...we want Dayao!"

Compared with Larry Hughes, who has a gentle personality, Eddie Curry may be the biggest locker room bomb after the Four Heroes. Once he leaves, the Knicks locker room will be peaceful...

So far, the oldest Knicks seniority turned out to be David Lee.

Li Ge is still so calm and breezy. As the saying goes, he plays basketball as a hobby. He doesn’t need money and doesn’t care where he plays. He just said to Gallinelli and Tim Thomas:

"Let's just play basketball. The big YAO is here. Let's try to see what kind of sparks we can create next season!"

Other rookies are too excited to sleep at night.

Curry + Harden + Turk Drew + Okur + Yao Ming, what kind of family is this!

For the first time, the Knicks lineup looks so rich on paper!

Brother Chao is sincere and does not deceive me! !

Beverly is already thinking about the championship celebration in advance, okay?

……

orlando.

After a certain "Spark" saw the news, the chicken wings lost their flavor in an instant.

Omg.

Dongfang Great Wall joined the Knicks, and he also noticed that the Knicks will have a salary of 2000 million in the off-season...

The Warcraft agent directly told Howard:

"To be honest, if the Magic can't win the championship this season, I can really go to the Knicks next season!!!"

"Ask your heart, are you really happy playing in the Magic?"
