Chapter 73 Warriors Trading Plan

However, Nelson quickly made a gesture to Baron Davis on the court, and Davis nodded and immediately conveyed it to his teammates.

When the Timberwolves' next offense came as scheduled, Linsen was ready to imitate the previous two offenses. However, when he threw away Baron Davis' defense and tried to get an opportunity with a run, he suddenly discovered that the other members of the Warriors did not

Just like the previous two times, it was blocked at the three-point line.

This forced Lin Sen to pass the ball out. Hassell's mid-range shot hit the frame and bounced out of bounds. Lin Sen was also replaced by Devin Casey.

The Warriors' defense just now did not attract Lin Sen's attention, nor did it attract the attention of Devin Casey.

The first quarter of the game ended amidst the bickering between Charles Barkley and Kenny Smith in the commentary box.

The Golden State Warriors and Timberwolves played away from home and tied at 36. Such a score at least made the defenses of both sides look bad.

However, the second quarter began to become a nightmare for the Timberwolves. Although the Timberwolves had Ricky Davis and Mike James on the bench, they were still completely in a passive position.

"I don't know if I should use the word pitiful. In four minutes, they only relied on free throws to score 3 points."

Before Barkley could finish his words, he was drowned out by Kenny Smith's voice: "Monta, super big lever, how did he do it? Eddie's defense this time was already good enough, but Monta still did it.

He almost flew from the east coast to the west coast of the Pacific."

Lin Sen on the bench couldn't help but applaud Monta Ellis's super draw goal just now.

In the past four minutes, Monta Ellis made 4 of 4 shots, including a fast-break three-pointer and an extra free throw, scoring 10 points.

The Warriors only scored 13 points. More importantly, Monta Ellis looked much thinner than him, but the thin Ellis completely ignored the Timberwolves' defense on the court.

Despite the Timberwolves' poor defense, Monta Ellis's personal ability still shocked Linsen.

Devin Casey called a timeout again, and he had already called a timeout two minutes ago.

Lin Sen stood up and walked to Devin Casey, who glared at the players walking off the court.

"You guys played like shit. Even a group of old ladies can defend better than you. You are using your performance to tell me how much you long for a chair on the bench. In this case, I will grant it to you."

Devin Casey turned to look at Linson and Jaric: "Wood, Mark, you two replace Ricky and Mike. I want to see your offense."

After speaking, Devin Casey looked at Hassell again: "Now you go on the court, I want to see your defense."

"Devin is angry," Kenny Smith said with a smile as he looked at the Timberwolves bench.

"Of course, anyone would be angry. They were completely blown away by a high school student, but it turns out that Golden State made the right choice last year. No one believed that Monta, a guy who looked like he could be knocked down by the wind, would play."

Charles Barkley chimed in.

"Charles, what do you think of Wood? Compared with Monta, the two of them are actually very similar in terms of body shape and offense. However, Monta's mid-range is much more accurate while Wood's passing is better. This may be

That’s the difference between the two of them.”

"Wood entered the league with higher expectations. It's different for Monta, who entered the league as a second-round pick and was disappointed. No one would put expectations on a second-round pick like Monta, but Wood is different, so Wood's

Growth will be more difficult, and he is destined to receive everyone's attention from the beginning, especially during this period he has been said to be the number one point guard in the future."

Buckley's analysis is correct. This is the difference between Linsen and Monta Ellis, but overall Linsen has better development prospects than Monta Ellis.

At this time, Kevin McHale in the box was frowning. He had just received a call from Chris Mullin.

Mullin, who had bluntly expressed his affection for Lin Sen before the game, did not give up after being rejected by him, but once again raised the possibility of getting Lin Sen.

McHale attaches great importance to Linson, but Chris Mullin's conditions are also very generous.

Looking at Monta Ellis walking towards the field, McHale sighed.

Chris Mullin proposed two plans: Plan one is to exchange Monta Ellis plus next year's first-round picks and the first-round picks of the year after next and Frenchman Pietrus as chips in exchange for Linseng plus Mike James.

This plan made him very tempted. Although Monta Ellis is a second-round pick, this is only his second year. Although his potential is not as great as Lin Sen, he is still very young.

This season, Ellis has been able to contribute 16 points per game in the new season when he comes off the bench. Moreover, his style is very similar to Linsen's, and his offensive methods are more comprehensive than Linsen's.

As for the two first-round picks, in the fiercely competitive Western Conference, McHale does not believe that the Warriors will definitely make it to the playoffs, so these two picks will have a great chance of being drafted in the lottery, which is very important for the team that is aiming to rebuild.

There is no doubt that it is a big temptation for the Timberwolves.

In addition, the Frenchman Pietrus is also in his prime. Although his offensive methods are not rich enough, he is much better than Hassell, and his defense is much better than Hassell. But the only problem is that Pietrus is a rookie.

The final year of the contract.

Although Mike James has just been introduced with a big contract in the new season, McHale has already considered trading him out of the team.

The Warriors are also prepared to give out 4 million in cash in order to balance the salary gap in the deal between the two parties.

The key to all the problems came back to Lin Sen. He knew Lin Sen's value very well, and Lin Sen was the one he had strongly requested to be selected in the first place. He believed that Lin Sen's future would be brilliant.

But this is all his belief alone, and no one can 100% guarantee the future, even if he believes it will happen.

More importantly, the contract offered by Mullin was really difficult for him to refuse.

The second option proposed by the Warriors is Monta Ellis and Mike Dunleavy, as well as next year's first-round pick and the second-round pick in the next two years.

The Timberwolves need to give Linson Gariki Davis and Eddie Griffin as well as the first-round pick next year.

Ricky Davis, like Mike James, has long been wanted to be traded out of the team. In addition to Ellis, the Warriors also provided Mike Dunleavy. Although Mike Dunleavy was injured this season,

Future capabilities are recognized.

Both plans seemed to be a disadvantage for the Warriors. If Mullin hadn't said it himself, McHale would never have believed that the Warriors would be so crazy.

Putting aside other factors and considering these two options, the second option proposed by the Warriors is more practical, but the key lies in Lin Sen.

There is no doubt about Lin Sen's commercial value, but the location of Minnesota means that places like the Los Angeles Golden State will not be able to get more benefits, and the development of Lin Sen's personal future abilities has also become the key.

McHale looked at the court, where Linsen had just singled out Barnes and succeeded in a throw.

He never imagined that he would fall into the trouble of trading so early after choosing Lin Sen.

Chris Mullin, who was far away in Oakland, was reluctant to both options, but this was forced by his teacher, Nelson.
