Build a Dream Dynasty

Sure enough, when Jiang Mingliang, West, and Stevens had already begun to think about countermeasures, Bob Myers made a stupid operation of calling Presti to question and express his protest. This incident made people very helpless, and Presti's actions were indeed unreasonable, but the call from Miles did not help the matter, but only showed his own incompetence.

"Now the situation has become complicated. It seems that we need to make some painful sacrifices to win Curry." Jiang Mingliang and West glanced at each other, and got a positive response from the other party's eyes.

"In theory, we are indeed drifting away from Curry. What the Warriors need are wings and centers, unless we can help them get Howard." Stevens said regretfully.

"Brad, do you think George is irreplaceable?" Jiang Mingliang asked.

"Irreplaceable, unless you slow down Durant, the role of George in the team's defensive system is irreplaceable. Kawhi's single defense is very good, but his ability to read defense and cooperate with his teammates are poor .As for the offensive end, the gap is even more obvious." Stevens clearly expressed his attitude.

"What about Curry, is he the player you need?" Jiang Mingliang then asked.

"Of course I also like Curry very much. He is a defender with 20+ scoring ability. He is a great threat from outside the three-point line. He also has great passing awareness and dribbling skills, and he is also very smart in running positions. But you I am opposed to using George to exchange Curry." Stevens said firmly.

Jiang Mingliang looked at Stevens, then at West, sighed and said, "George is indeed a good player and a nice person. I actually like him very much. But I am the general manager of the team. Every aspect of the team has to be considered, we are saying goodbye to New Jersey, we are going to New York, we are going to compete with the Knicks for fans, I need a superstar. Curry is a dusty pearl, well, I don’t want to use the word pearl, a diamond is more It suits him, he is the mountain of light in the diamond world, under the right system, his shooting ability can be fully released, and he will subvert our basketball understanding of basketball."

There was once a question, "Curry, Kobe, Jordan, James, Duncan, and O'Neal, who will cut one of the six, who do you choose?" Jiang Mingliang chose Kobe without hesitation, because Kobe could do anything but three-pointers. Jordan can do anything. But what Curry did, no one here can replace it.

Whether Jordan, Kobe, O'Neal, James, or Duncan, they may have the ability to play one against three in singles, or they may have the opportunity to attract multiple teams to create open shots for teammates outside the three-point line , but Curry is one step outside the three-point line to attract double-teams, creating open scoring opportunities for teammates to hit the basket. When I saw that the Cavaliers would rather let Durant dunk than block Curry from outside the three-point line in the finals, the impact and shock of this scene were really too great.

"But with George leaving, our defense will be greatly weakened, and Curry's ankle is also a flaw!" Stevens' tone has obviously softened.

"On the wing position, there are still many good players. If we lose George, we can also consider others a little bit, such as Klay Thompson or Gordon Hayward of the Jazz, but this transaction is very difficult. Lindsay of the Jazz It’s really a little rich and safe, and the treasures in our hands are tight. If we have to, we can also give Rudy a chance.” Of course, Jiang Mingliang moved the idea of ​​​​the Nets version of the Splash Brothers, but the operation The difficulty is relatively large. After experiencing the failure of the Harden deal, Jiang Mingliang is not too daring to boast now.

"I have also been observing the player Curry. He is not a simple player. If his style of play can meet an inside line with excellent vision and passing skills, it will have terrifying destructive power." Among the two arguing, West expressed his attitude, "And, in my opinion, if George's ball-handling skills don't improve, maybe he really isn't a suitable leader for the Nets."

"It's really hard for me to understand that a young and promising team reached the Eastern Conference finals and couldn't wait to tear down the roster. Many people may think you are crazy, but, Issac, I really do I just believe you." Stevens' words were full of compromises, among which, he also told Stevens that he used to be a college coach, and after getting used to building a lineup, his players couldn't wait. It’s about going to the draft and playing professional games. Another part of the reason is the confidence brought by Jiang Mingliang's consistent good vision. Stevens understands that without Jiang Mingliang's steady flow of talent, the Nets under his control would not be where they are today.

"Thank you for your trust, Brad. Curry will not let you down, and I won't let you down!" The most rare thing about this deal is not the bargaining with the Warriors, not the upcoming verbal criticism, but It's Stevens. After all, this is an operation that shakes the foundation of the team.

Fortunately, Stevens understood Jiang Mingliang's difficulties.

"Before you call Miles, I have two more points to explain." West reminded Jiang Mingliang, "First, my bottom line is that Kuriga will be the No. First-round pick. You have to remember that Curry is not the Curry you imagined to unleash all energy. He is just a fragile product that played 26 times last season. Second, after trading George, you need To re-sign Lopez, we need someone to lead the locker room."

Last season, Lopez was the only person on the team who had the hope of being close to the All-Star. This season, George has become the only All-Star in the Nets in recent years. , It can be said that the leader of the team has changed. But after all, Lopez is the player who has stayed in the team for the longest time, and he still has this qualification to stabilize the locker room. Moreover, the arrival of Curry is doomed to the position of point guard. Bledsoe may be downgraded to a substitute or be traded. If Lopez cannot be kept and the main position changes three times, it will be really messy.

Lopez's contract renewal with high salary is a mouthful, and he has to eat it if he doesn't eat it!

Knowing that Granger's departure caused the Pacers' locker room to explode, Jiang Mingliang certainly understood the importance of maintaining stability in the locker room, and immediately nodded in agreement before calling Miles.

Hearing that the Nets have agreed to include George in the deal, Myers' end is simply another village! The all-around small forward of the third team of the best team and the second team of the best defensive team is much better than Harden!

"For your 35th overall pick, choose Draymond Green, he is the player I want!" Jiang Mingliang emphasized.
