"The Knicks want our No. 2 pick?" team consultant Jerry West pondered after hearing a call from general manager Chris Wallace soliciting proposals.

"It's probably because they can't get Rubio with the eighth pick, right?" Wallace guessed. "As far as I know, the Timberwolves are also actively improving their picks and want to ensure that Rubio reports to Minnesota."

"Kimi's tactical thinking attaches great importance to the offensive environment brought by space. How could he want a younger version of Kidd!" Jerry West shook his head. From his judgment, he felt that Ke Yan was not interested in being a drunkard.

liquor.

The Knicks' proposal is to trade Wilson Chandler's eighth pick for the Grizzlies' second pick, the 27th pick. This plan is beneficial to the Grizzlies.

Since Gasol was injured in the 2006 World Championships, the Grizzlies have been forced to rebuild. Through drafts and trades, they have acquired four young talents: Millsap, Conley, Gasol Jr., and Mayo. Although their talent accumulation is not as good as that of the Pioneers

or the Thunder, Timberwolves, but the combination is very reasonable, and the results are pretty good. According to the team's plan, after training for one to two seasons at most, the team will have the hope of making the playoffs.

Relatively speaking, what the team needs urgently is a small forward with both offense and defense. However, this season's popular rookies do not have such a candidate. Except for Griffin and Thabeet, the other popular rookies are all point guards.

Combination guards are not what the Grizzlies need.

Therefore, the chips provided by Ke Yan are just right. Wilson Chandler is a wing with both open shooting and certain ball-handling abilities. He has sufficient size and good physical fitness, which can further develop his talents; the third pick

The Thunder, the Kings with the fourth pick, the Timberwolves with the fifth pick, the Timberwolves with the sixth pick, and the Warriors with the seventh pick all have needs to supplement the backcourt. The Grizzlies have moved the draft pick to the eighth pick.

position, may be more in line with the actual needs of the team.

"My opinion is that this deal can be done. But you can try it out, take Randolph's contract, and get the Knicks' 10-year first-round pick." Jerry West thought for a moment and then said,

"I don't think he will agree, so let's deal like this."

Not everyone who makes deals is like Anji who kills the opponent to death, or like Morey who repeatedly pulls for one or two second rounds for several rounds. In order to ensure that Curry joins, Ke Yan's conditions are very sincere.

To meet the various needs of the Grizzlies, the logo man did not waste any words. The two parties cut through the mess in the fastest way and determined the transaction chips.

One advantage of doing this is that everyone can free up their energy to start other projects.

"As for Randolph, we can indeed send him away, but I don't plan to include him in this deal. I first need to ensure that the person I want joins before I clean up the team's lineup."

Chris Wallace talked about Randolph, and Ke Yan was a little moved.

Randolph is a typical "arsenic for me, honey for you". He went to the Grizzlies and met his destined good friend Gasol. The black and white bears can complement each other, 11>2; in turn, they stay

In the Knicks, forming a "Hefei" inside line with O'Neal has poor movement, poor defense, small offensive space, and squeezes Love's playing time. It is definitely not worth it!

So even if it's for free, even if someone will use this deal to "taunt" Ke Yan for not knowing people in the future after Randolph comes out, he will still give Randolph away if the conditions are right.

But the Grizzlies wanted to seize the opportunity to grab a first-round pick, but Ke Yan refused. The Knicks' foundation is too poor. In a short period of time, Ke Yan can't guarantee how far the reconstruction can progress; and next year will be the free agent market.

In the new year, if necessary, this first-round pick may be of great use, and Ke Yan will definitely not let go.

Fortunately, the deal for the draft rights was successfully concluded. At this point, Ke Yan finally completed the most important step in rebuilding the Knicks.

"Yes!" After Ke Yan hung up the phone, he stood up excitedly and shouted.

"What are you so happy about?" Wang Lifan walked out of the bathroom wrapped in a bath towel. She didn't worry at all that her appearance would cause a Trojan war, especially when Ke Yan was still excited about getting Curry.

when.

After the two fought fiercely for more than an hour, Ke Yan stopped moving with satisfaction. Wang Lifan was also breathing fiercely, lying on Ke Yan's body like an octopus.

"Shh, don't make a sound!" When the call came, Ke Yan immediately told her to be quiet.

"Quinn!" Ke Yan answered the phone.

"Got the Grizzlies?" Snyder asked.

"Well, it's settled. Prepare the documents as soon as possible and submit them to the league." Ke Yan said, "When the Grizzlies sign No. 27, we can talk to the Hawks about Battier's deal."

"D'Antoni probably wants to kill you~" Snyder said.

"Please, I'm just helping them solve their burden, okay!" Ke Yan said, "The Hawks' main goal this season is to avoid taxes. Paul's big contract has taken effect, and it's useless even if Garnett leaves. It's necessary to send Battier away."

.Isn’t it better to give it to me than to someone else?”

Wang Lifan burst out laughing when he heard that Keyan was so convincing about poaching his old club.

"What's that sound?" Snyder's hearing is usually not so good, but this time he had a good hearing.

Ke Yan gently grabbed a handful of her dolphins, retaliated, and then concealed: "Let's do it as soon as possible. With Curry and Battier here, plus Kevin Love, our offensive space on the court should be about

It's much better. In the free agent market, we still have a mid-level player, and we will figure out how to use it when the time comes."

Curry, Larry Hughes, Battier, Love, O'Neal. This is the starting lineup of the team in Ke Yan's plan. Curry and Battier both have very good three-point shooting abilities and are both good at it.

Catching three-pointers allows Larry Hughes to hold the ball more. Love, who has a certain shooting ability, high basketball IQ, and outstanding passing awareness, is definitely more suitable for O'Neal than Randolph.

If Curry can really bring the kind of offensive threat that Ke Yan described, and at the same time, if the team can ensure health, it is really not a problem for the Knicks to return to the playoffs. Even with Ke Yan here, there is hope for further progress!

"This guy is so awesome!" Snyder sighed with emotion after taking a breath of cold air.

The Knicks were in a state of chaos. In the hands of Ke Yan, he clarified his thinking and found a direction by dividing three times, five, and two, without even sacrificing the team's future assets at all. This team-building ability is terrifying!

.

.

As a media tycoon, Dolan was extremely excited about his success in poaching Ke Yan. In order to promote his achievements to the greatest extent, Dolan held a grand signing ceremony for Ke Yan at the "Basketball Mecca" Madison Square Garden.

ceremony.

This signing ceremony attracted nearly 140 media from the United States and China. At the same time, more than 15,000 fans purchased tickets to express their welcome to Ke Yan on the spot!

Such a high-profile way of handling the situation didn't suit Ke Yan's liking, but there were so many fans at the scene, and it was just for him. Ke Yan also felt excited.

This is New York, when you have the ability to bring honor to them, they can lift you to the sky; vice versa.

.

.

Forget it, let’s not talk about this on the big day.

The team did not invite a special emcee. As the team owner, Dolan personally walked to the microphone and introduced Ke Yan: "Dear gentlemen and ladies! Thank you very much for coming to Madison today! This makes us feel...

Your love for the team also makes Kimi, who is about to become the head coach of the Knicks, feel your enthusiasm! There is no doubt! This will be an appearance that will be recorded in the history of the Knicks forever! Because we are about to usher in a new era.

A great head coach!

!”

The team has been in poor condition for many years. Knicks fans are dissatisfied with Dorando. They did not boo today because of Ke Yan's face.

Ke Yan walked from the tunnel to the center of the field, and the atmosphere in Madison Square Garden was instantly exploded!

"kimi! kimi! kimi!" The cry of "kimi! kimi! kimi!" resounded throughout Madison!

What would it be like to have tens of thousands of fans shouting one person's name together? You may not be able to imagine it, but Ke Yan really felt it.

His eardrums seemed to be burst, but he still walked onto the stage in the center of the stadium with a smile and waved to the fans.

After shaking hands with Dolan, Ke Yan walked up to the microphone and pressed his hands gracefully to signal everyone to be quiet!

"I am very grateful to Mr. Dolan for everything he has prepared for me. In my opinion, these are beyond my expected specifications. So, how should I repay Mr. Dolan's trust?" At this point, Ke Yan raised his eyebrows.

He picked up his index finger and said with great confidence, "That's it, the champion!"

"Maybe you will doubt it, maybe you don't believe it, but that doesn't matter. I will prove what I said, just like I proved it in Atlanta."

Next came the reporter's question-and-answer session, and the first opportunity to ask questions was given to Ke Yan's "mouthpiece reporter" Xu Yi from ESPN.

"Kimi, welcome to New York!" Xu Yi stood up and nodded towards Keyan.

"Thank you!" Ke Yan smiled and nodded in response.

"We all want to know what made you finally leave Atlanta and choose New York?" Xu Yi asked with concern. This is also a topic of concern to countless fans.

"In the last playoff game of last season, when we were swept out by the Magic, I sat in the locker room for a long time. I was wondering if the situation would be better if I looked for reinforcements in the mid-term.

, at least we will not be eliminated directly by 4:0. My answer is that we should have a chance to win at least one or two games.

And why didn't I promote the transaction at that moment? Maybe it was because after experiencing success, my subconscious enthusiasm for some games was fading. I knew where the team could play, and it would be more difficult to break through.

This state is completely different from when I led the Lakers to play the Spurs in 2005. At that time, I knew clearly that the Lakers could not deal with Duncan, but I still tried my best to find some ways to play against the Spurs.

It’s terrible to lose this kind of passion! At that time, I knew I had to leave.”

Ke Yan puts all the responsibilities on himself. He can't say it clearly that the boss is not willing to spend money to pay the luxury tax, and he is still asking for my salary, so I don't want to serve him anymore.

Only Conte can say this. Although Ke Yan occasionally pretends to be cool, his attitude towards others is relatively modest. The only person who has a problem with him is Phil Jackson.

"The Knicks have not advanced to the playoffs for many years. The team's operations in recent years have not been successful. How do you plan to rebuild the team."

"In fact, before today's signing ceremony, the team has completed a transaction. I can tell you responsibly that I have found my own Messi. Next, the team will have some small-scale transactions

In operation, we will try our best to put together a good lineup and then run it in quickly. I will make arrangements as soon as possible to bring the Knicks to where they should be."

After the signing ceremony, the "Messi" that Ke Yan boasted aroused heated discussion.

Messi, who is only 22 years old, is already destined to become a legend in football. The "Messi" in Ke Yan's mouth, not to mention James, must at least be in the position of Durant and Howard to be worthy of what Ke Yan is today.

Evaluation?

The Knicks specifically used the eighth pick to trade up Wilson Chandler, which shows that the eighth pick may not be available, and it must be a very popular rookie!

It's definitely not Griffin. He is the default No. 1 pick, and he can't be selected with the No. 2 pick.

Rubio is the most likely! Because Keyan went to Barcelona and made a special trip to inspect him, and promoted the transaction after returning!

Tyreke Evans is also good, his physical talent is simply crushing when playing point guard.

James Harden? Messi has dwarfism, and Harden has shortness of breath. Both of them have congenital shortcomings. (Messi really has dwarfism, and he only grew to a normal height after taking hormones at Barcelona. This is not to criticize him)

The Thunder, Kings, Timberwolves, Hornets, and Warriors with the 3rd to 7th picks began to sigh, fearing that their beloved Knicks would be cut off.

The Clippers, who hold the No. 1 pick, are even more depressed. tmd Should Griffin choose or not?
