Build a Dream Dynasty
Chapter 853: The Deal Is Closed
After a round of back-to-back games, the Nets ushered in a two-day holiday break, which is a very important recovery time for the Nets full of injuries. Except for Curry, there are not many long-term injuries in the team. West and Teodosic will all recover within a week. But Porzingis has been recuperating for half a month and Porzingis can recover within a week without any accidents, catching up with the duel with the Clippers in the Christmas game. For the team, the situation is developing in a good direction.
However, the temporary rest is for the team. Life is not so comfortable for the uniform group. Isaiah Thomas pays close attention to the relevant messages of various teams in the league, hoping that the Nets can find opportunities to insert Go, get involved, and take the opportunity to strengthen the team's weak positions. Due to Livingston's performance in the last game, the team was more active in trade negotiations, and Royce O'Neal's position in the team, as the main trading chip, was indeed even more embarrassing.
However, the top teams have always been envied. Just like the first year of the Heat's Big Three, there is no way to facilitate any transactions. All teams in the league regard them as villains, and the Nets are the same. It is not impossible to negotiate a transaction, provided that you pay a higher bargaining chip. Sacrificing the future of the team, such as the Knicks draft pick in hand. What makes the Nets slightly better than the Heat at the time is that Jiang Mingliang made good friends with many teams in the early days. Once the role players are trained, they will be traded in time to help other teams strengthen, so they can be regarded as some allies. Like the Mavericks, the relationship between the Pistons and the Nets is okay. If it weren't for James' airborne 76ers, the relationship between the 76ers and the Nets is also pretty good. The establishment of this kind of network is also of great help to the team.
Just like this time, the Warriors also included the Nets in the deal for Harris. After the Warriors completed the exchange of Dreaming Green and Tobias Harris, the team continued the journey of reconstruction, putting Harris in the ranks of the tradeable list, eager for high-quality contracts, draft picks and potential newcomers. The Raptors and the Thunder, respectively, have their eyes on Harris and are willing to trade him at a suitable price. The Raptors hope to negotiate with the Warriors with Powell, Patterson, Nogueira and draft picks as the main body of the deal, and they have a wealth of draft pick resources in their hands. The Thunder's bargaining chip is Kanter and the draft picks. In contrast, the Warriors prefer the chips of the Raptors. Norman Powell is a good swingman. Although he is taller than a small forward, his excellent athletic ability can still make up for this defect. . No matter how bad it is, it is also quite effective to rotate with Brogdon as the second position. Although Kanter is not very old and has considerable offensive combat effectiveness, he is really not suitable for the current version of the small ball. It can be used as a strategic weapon, but it cannot be used as a conventional weapon. Will be played to death by various small guards. At the same time, in terms of the value of draft picks, the draft picks held by the Raptors are slightly higher than those held by the Thunder.
Compared with Kanter, the Warriors want to get Olynyk more, which doesn't quite meet the needs of the Thunder. Compared with Kanter, Olynik's offensive threat in the low post is not so great, but whether it is eating cakes at the basket or mid-range shots, he has a hand. On the defensive end, Olynyk is a very reliable defensive candidate. Strengthening the team's power forward position requires sacrificing him, which is not worth it for the Thunder.
Wanting Harris, but at the same time at a disadvantage in the trade, Presti changed his mind and tried to bring in a third party to join the trade, and the Nets, which were still some distance away from the salary cap, became the ideal third-party trading partner for the Thunder. . The Thunder hope to send out the Turkish forward Ilyasova who is not suitable for the team, get Royce O'Neill, Gerald Green and a special transaction, and generate 5.5 million salary space at the same time, and then use Royce O'Neill, Payne, Motiejunas came to trade for Harris.
Royce O'Neal has the ability to top small forwards, and Payne, a 15-year lottery pick, still has a lot of potential to tap. Motiejunas is more adaptable than Kanter, although the deal does not involve The draft pick, but the Warriors continue to reduce the team's total salary, and they can also replicate the Nets' operation of using space to eat garbage contracts in exchange for draft picks in the next season. Second, the three players traded middle. Motiejunas has a long-term contract, and Royce O'Neal and Payne both have the priority to renew their contracts. There is still room for continued operations in the future. Compared with the Raptors' bargaining chips, they are a little more attractive.
After negotiating the deal, Thomas immediately asked Zhuang Zhuoyuan to report on his work progress. However, after studying the Thunder's lineup structure, Jiang Mingliang immediately proposed a price increase. First, he asked the Thunder for an extra 17-year or 18-year second-round pick. The marginal man Alex Caruso in the team was cut.
"..." Thunder general manager Presti was a little speechless after receiving the latest request from the Nets. If you want Caruso, just add it to the deal. If you want the Thunder to waive him, what do you mean by signing again? Wasting the Thunder a little more money?
However, once this deal is completed, the Thunder's roster has reached 16 people. The person who was cut is a choice between Huestis and Caruso. If the Nets have this demand, they will meet it. them? Presti did not bargain, and agreed to the conditions proposed by Jiang Mingliang, which led to the conclusion of the transaction.
After the three parties reached an oral agreement, the staff of the Nets also contacted Caruso's agency immediately, expressing the Nets' interest in signing him. For the Nets' favor, Caruso just felt flattered. In the league, a considerable number of fringe people hope to be recognized by the Nets, which is also the word-of-mouth effect that the Nets have won for a long time.
Subsequently, the uniform team notified the players in their respective teams about the transaction. Among the players involved in the transaction, Royce O'Neill, Ilyasova and Payne were all happy to see the result. Royce O'Neal's position in the team is getting more and more embarrassing. Leaving the team and going to the rebuilding period of the Warriors can be regarded as a new start. It is much better than substituting Leonard and George and seeing no hope. Ilyasova is a relatively tough and active one among the space-based power forwards. After all, he is from Turkey. Joining a championship team from a strong team is considered an upgrade, let alone coming to New York from Oklahoma. added. At the same time, in the Nets, he still has a chance to hit the starting position, it depends on the idea of the head coach Stevens.
The departure of the veteran homeless Gerald Green is a bit helpless. He was included in the deal, which was more or less used to balance the deal, not that the Thunder really wanted him. However, as a veteran homeless man in the league, Green has become accustomed to being traded.
The materials related to the transaction were submitted to the alliance, and the media also officially released the news about the transaction. After the alliance verified all the materials, the transaction will be officially completed.
