NBA: Starting with $20 billion, buying the Knicks

Chapter 428 Klay Thompson + Warriors' 12-year first-round pick!Splash Brothers, come back!

In fact, he suggested that Kwame Brown was also a pit buried by Lacob, and he wanted Jiang Chao to fall into the pit.

Because now all the management knows that the Knicks like draft picks the most, and they love to trade draft picks, and their own picks never come out.

So they guessed that they would definitely not want another player, and deliberately said that they wanted Jiang Chao to set the price himself.

They are afraid that Jiang Chao will open 2 draft picks.

Because to be honest, David Lee is a player who can only be changed in the first round of at least two internal evaluations, that is, combat power, a middle-class contract with bird rights, and an annual salary of only 2 million, which is not too good!
He is not very old now, he will run in this year and cooperate with Thomas Jr. next year, the Warriors may really do great things.

Don't look at David Lee being replaced by Ibaka in the Knicks now, but don't forget his double-double machine in 08, averaging 15 points and 9.6 rebounds per game. You can say that the Knicks are too strong, but you can't say that they are big Wei Li is weak!

Therefore, adding David Lee's words, Thomas Jr., who only showed seven or eight games, is more like an addition. To be honest, Thomas Jr. was indeed in a hurry to trade.

I only played seven or eight good games, and it was just one start, but the scope of investigation is too small, and other teams will not easily make shots when the template is small, even if they get 30+10 before playing against the Warriors, it is useless.

Jennings still had 55 points in a single game in his first year as a rookie...

On the contrary, Curry looked like he was hiding his merits and fame. He was first informed by D'Antoni during the game.

And David Lee was hugged by the players in the back. Compared with Thomas Jr. who had only been together for a few months, this is the veteran who really watched the rise of the Knicks! !
From the Four Heroes, to Duhon, Eddie Curry, Jerome James, to Larry Hughes, Big Q...

Klay Thompson + the Warriors' 2012 first-round pick for the Knicks' Thomas Jr. + David Lee.

Until the reporter named David Lee...he burst into tears instantly:

But the article also mentioned the current brotherhood. While watching his former friends leave, David Lee also watched the rise of Kuha and witnessed the arrival of the Turkish duo.

Thomas Jr. in the locker room was angrily trying to talk to the boss and the general manager, but was held back by Howard:

"Boss Jiang is crazy? Okur, Turk Drew, Mills, David Lee... Four people left the championship lineup? And three stable starters?"

"Hey, I can only say that if you can't break it, you can't make it. It's good for both parties. In the Warriors, David Lee is the absolute starter."

Dayao is still smart. Reminiscent of the recent team affairs, he immediately knew the intention of Jiang Chao's deal, and he pulled Thomas Jr. with a high emotional intelligence and said:
"It's useless for you to see Boss Chao, but it makes him angry. What he means is that you are averaging 20+8 per game. Wouldn't it be good to send you to be the boss of another team?"

"I, Timberwolves Dalefu, apply for World War I!"

Then by the way, Thomas Jr. was also pushed out, and co-authored to "sell" Thomas Jr. to the Warriors first?

Both of them have proven themselves in the NBA.

"That's right. What you said makes me feel that the Warriors management has fallen into Jiang Chao's trap. In the last 7 games, Thomas Jr. averaged 15 shots per game. It feels like a show for buyers like the Warriors? It's hard to imagine Thomas Jr. can get so many shots in the Knicks at this level."

The media has been waiting for this moment for a long time, even Li Shishi wrote a headline:
"2008-2009 Knicks are completely gone with the David Lee trade"

He even thinks that Harden + Klay will have a very good chemical reaction. Harden is better than Curry in attacking and passing the ball, so KT will also get more open three-point opportunities.

There was another knock on the door of the locker room, but it must be the boss who can knock on the door at this time. Warriors president Wright and owner Lacob have come to greet David Lee and Thomas Jr. in person.

When the two sides were interviewed in the locker room, the ESPN reporter suddenly shouted:
"Hey!!! You two teams traded!"

According to Yong Mi's words, the co-author has to be paired with a traditional point guard for him?

The Warriors can still tell the difference between choosing a gamble-like draft and getting two immediate players who have at least five years of their peak.

Stevens glared at him, indicating that you still want to meet people by leaps and bounds? ?

The espn instant headlines are much faster than the live situation, because there are insiders in the NBA who specialize in selling information:

So when Jiang Chao proposed to add a first-rounder and get David Lee, both Wright and Wright quickly agreed.

Otherwise, it can be believed that the locker rooms of both sides will directly change from ordinary post-match interviews to a press conference scene.

After half an hour.

Woj's little brother reporter directly told the details:
"Just now, the management of the Knicks and the Warriors reached a verbal agreement, which is now under review by the league. It should be finalized!"

Beverly even yelled like a big boss: "What are you, Brother Li is gone!! Fuck!!!"

"It doesn't matter. Given the chance, at least it can be played. Doesn't Klay Thompson theoretically have unlimited firepower?"

"Yes, for Brother Li, the starting lineup must be back, and it looks good now? It's just this Thompson who was exchanged?"

Jiang Chao shook hands with Warriors owner Lacob, and left the rest to the two general managers.

"Yeah, it's not like he doesn't have a place."

Even if Thomas Jr. is a flash in the pan as the fans are sour, isn't Jennings' high draft pick also a flash in the pan...

"Klay Thompson, a college scoring champion, went to the Knicks?? Can the Knicks' offense explode?"

"I didn't have a good time in the Knicks, and I will definitely give +35 minutes to the starter on our side!"

And winning the championship with the team last season, creating the history of the Knicks in the new century...

Anyway, looking at the long history, KT's peak durability and achievements are stronger than David Lee + Thomas Jr., the most important thing is that it will be terrifying after gathering the splash buff.

"David Lee Leaves! !The Knicks lost another championship member! ! "

So when Jiang Chao proposed + a first round, the two sides hit it off, and the Warriors even compensated 200 million in cash.

It was a big laughing hug that made little Thomas think about it.

"Hey, cool, welcome Brother Li!"

"Stop making trouble, we can't question the management's decision, let's have a good future."

Coupled with Thompson's mediocre scoring performance since he played for half a season, most of the Warriors fans are actually dissatisfied. No one wants to see the team's mediocre record, and even if they lose, they have to see explosive players. Performance, you want to see hope!

"Wish Boss Jiang and President Max a Merry Christmas in advance."

"Well, it's okay, Beverly and Matthews can also stand up, but the offensive explosiveness is not so strong."

At this time, the press officers of both sides came to the locker room to clear the field, cleared all the reporters out under the circumstances that many people looked puzzled, and said that today's interview session is over.

"joy."

"Then I also wish you a happy New Year's Day in advance, and everything goes well in 2012."

Sometimes the NBA is more Broadway than Broadway, full of drama.

At least Thomas Jr. is a player that Warriors owners and executives like.

Then I went through big scenes like recruiting Howard and Yao Ming...

I am afraid that only the Knicks know why Thomas Jr., who has performed well recently, should be traded.

"The Knicks move!Klay Thompson + the Warriors' 2012 first-round pick for the Knicks' Thomas Jr. + David Lee, and the Warriors will also give 200 million cash compensation! ! "

This can be said to be a relatively large-scale pre-Christmas deal to reach a verbal agreement.

David Lee smiled with relief, and regardless of Thomas standing there stupidly, he got up and hugged him directly, and even hugged Ibaka who hadn't reacted for a century.

"But it's definitely not the standard for David Lee."

"Be the boss?"

It's hard!

"Looking forward to Li Ge's inside line in the West!"

Just thinking about it, the two Warriors were kicked out by the tall Sean Marks:
"Go, go, we haven't finished talking yet."

Little Thomas still couldn't believe all of this: "I want to see Boss Jiang."

"Yeah, brother Li is my idol, we're all just kidding, Boss Jiang, don't take it seriously!"

"It's okay, Brother Li is indeed inferior to Ibaka this year, but Brother Li must have more experience in the playoffs than Ibaka."

The four shook hands, and Downey Jr. rushed over and took a group photo with them in a daze.

"lee!!!!"

At this time, you can't pretend anymore, and you won't have such a good opportunity if you pretend again.

"He's good at defense with his size. If you practice more strength confrontation, he may be better than Hayward."

He stayed in the Knicks for half a year, and he also saw that this is a team with a strict defensive style. His defense may not be able to play at critical moments.

"Hey, hey, don't say that about me, Clay. I still like him very much. Your Ellis is so unique. He averaged 22.5 shots per game."

The Warriors fans are ecstatic. It is absolutely possible to change to David Lee for such a small price!
In fact, Thompson has been complained many times by fans in the Warriors area because he doesn’t know how to dribble. In this era, everyone is spoiled by the tastes of shooting guards like Kobe, Wade, and Harden. , the Warriors, a lottery pick who can only catch and shoot, seem shabby.

"Then, happy."

Even the Knicks, Thomas Jr.'s stats in one start are better than Thompson's season-best stats.

This kind of player will be much more valuable if you use it for a season before trading, and everyone will think that your data is stable enough and can adapt to the defensive lineup of each team.

It was shocking enough that Thomas Jr., who has performed so well recently, was traded.

The management will not dump Jiang Chao, but directly "convict" and "thank" Thomas Jr.

But Li Ge, who has been regarded as a stalk by everyone recently, also traded together, which was unexpected by everyone.

"I think it's okay. Thomas Jr. is being suppressed by Curry. Curry can play more in the playoffs. If Curry has unlimited shooting rights, isn't 50 points in a single game every minute?"

"Then I know for sure. In the Warriors, I feel that David Lee can play at the All-Star level. His secondary offensive ability and fast scoring ability are very strong."

"The boss wishes you to be the boss in the Warriors."

The news that came out just after the game really shocked fans all over the world. There are still more than 2 months before the free market closes. Are the Knicks and the Warriors in such a hurry? Can they have a good Christmas?
There are thousands of comments on the forum in an instant.

"Hayward's shooting center of gravity is biased forward. Thompson has a standard hand shape and is very comfortable to shoot."

"Yeah, in the Warriors, aren't you the future boss!" Dayao was good at coaxing people, but it was actually true.

"Shock! !The Knicks took the initiative to dismantle 2 rotation players! "

Because only he knows that Jiang Chao promised him to give him more opportunities, but he didn't expect the trade fair to come so fast, the person he selected by himself, sent away by himself? ?
I can't stand it emotionally!
what the hell!

"So let's play tricks in moderation!!!"

"The first round next year? It doesn't matter, isn't Thomas Jr. better than the first round?"

It doesn't matter, it's cool!
In the Warriors, he is the future boss! !
Being coaxed by Dayao, he felt that Jiang Chao was doing it for him. That's right, he had no chance in the Knicks playoffs, and now it's just the young coach training the lineup, and he's crazy, but he's not stupid.

"Hey, hey! Let's just say that, Brother Li can't really leave!"

The old captain: "So let's add a first round."

Apparently he hadn't thought that his rotation status would come back, and he was still annoyed that Brother Li was leaving.

Said that Thomas Jr. applied for playing time by leapfrogging, which violated the team's regulations, but the Warriors also urgently need such talents, and thank him for his contribution to the team during this period.

"Yes, a win-win deal."

Harden's expression directly turned into a meme.

"What!!" Little Thomas looked like he had nothing to do with himself. He took the reporter's notebook and looked at it, and then he was dumbfounded.

"Double...win-win? What's wrong with little Thomas...why bring him."

To Lacob, this little money is nothing but to Jiang Chao... emm, don't you want it for nothing?

It won't be too long, because the two sides will not have to pay travel expenses for the players they traded.

But the Warriors are different. After the Warriors fired the old Nelson two years ago, they were completely rebuilt. The coach’s thinking is also rebuilding. They found a young coach’s schoolbag, so the system has not yet been completed. This kind of team cannot win the championship in the short term, but it can let Thomas There is absolutely time to display your offensive talents!

This meeting became very fast and pleasant because of Jiang Chao's consent.

"That must be what the Warriors management wants."

"Little Thomas Goes Away!" !The strongest second-round pick of the year moved to the Warriors, and he may get more opportunities! "

Honestly, what's the use of the first round? ?
Taobao is not something that can be found every year. With their current record, they are around 15th in the first round. Will the player selected be David Lee or Thomas Jr.?

Not only him, but Thompson in the locker room of the home team next door was also dull for a while.

"what???"

But before he could make a fuss, the young marshal and Sean Marks showed up at the right time to explain everything, and this kind of Jiang Chao naturally didn't need to show up.

He also experienced the departure of the old Knicks one by one in the 08 season, and now, it is finally his turn.

"what?"

This scene also flashed through the heads of the players at this time. For Curry Harden, Ibaka, Danny Green and other rookies in the 09 class, David Lee is definitely their mentor and friend. How many cups of coffee have these little brothers been invited to teach them how to behave and how to do things? ! !
And for the loyal insiders like Ah Lian, Dayao, and Li Kaier, there were tears in their eyes. I didn't expect this scene to really come.

"Hey, hey, what do you look like crying and chirping, we are still brothers, aren't we?"

I don't know when Jiang Chao came to the locker room, leaned against the door, and watched all this indifferently.

David Li looked at the familiar Boss Jiang with a ferocious face (as if he didn't want to cry), rushed to hug Jiang Chao, and shouted emotionally:
"I will always love the Knicks, thank you for making me family!!!"
