NBA: Start with 2 billion, buy the Knicks

The men's farewell won't take too long, and David Lee was mentally prepared during the conversation with the management on the plane the day before, so he left very casually.

Finally, he rubbed Curry’s head:

"You brat, if you dare to shoot three-pointers without a pick-and-roll, you will be the number one shooter in history."

Curry rubbed his eyes like a primary school student: "Remember to play with me when you come to New York."

"What are you talking about? The New York Knicks are my second hometown. I will come back to train with you in the off-season!"

"good!"

“It’s a deal!”

Dayao, Howard and others roared.

In fact, Thomas didn't feel like hating the Knicks after thinking about it. This shows how subtle Jiang Chao's move was. He even wrote an excited tweet before entering the Warriors locker room:

"For a few short months, the Knicks made me feel like I was home, and the fans there are great. It's a great team, and I feel lucky to play there, and now I'm starting over in San Francisco.

, let’s create history together, warriors!!!”

........

Oracle Arena is destined to be sleepless tonight.

It is rare for the away team to "hang on" after losing.

The home team players never had time to wash up, because their players were also in shock, and because their press officer was so happy, he was ready to hold a press conference immediately.

Klay Thompson's expression on the Warriors' side is in a fixed state:

"????"

"Meow meow meow???"

When Charles Jenkins, Aipai Udu and others were surrounding him, Thompson didn't understand what was happening.

I didn't understand a bit.

What's the meaning?

Am I being traded?

Because I just finished playing against the Knicks, I always felt that I heard wrong. Maybe the Knicks mentioned me in the press conference?

How should I put it? He has always been a player who plays basketball and enjoys life. He doesn’t know much about things outside the basketball court. In addition, his family of players has clearly arranged his basketball career, and his father’s relationship network

Let him have a smooth journey from middle school and high school to college and then to the NBA, which means he doesn't have to worry about it at all.

People like Matthews can only save up their own money to buy air tickets and go to various places to participate in trial training, while people like Thompson have their father and agent invite scouts to come to school to inspect him. Therefore, there is a gap in the starting point of players pursuing their NBA dreams.

All he has to do is play ball, train and enjoy beautiful women. Life is so simple and unpretentious!

(Note: Klay’s father, Michael Thompson, is the former NBA No. 1 pick and a star for the Los Angeles Lakers. Thompson Sr. was the 1978 NBA No. 1 pick.)

Buddha had always been confused and slow to react, but he was still very excited after he reacted.

Because the agent's voice was excited when he called, he knew something good was happening.

"Shall I go? I can wear a Knicks jersey now?"

"It's necessary, haven't you always said that their jerseys look good!"

"!!!!Cool!"

He is a fan of Curry, and he is also a contracted player of Anta. (After being selected by the Warriors, he was signed by Anta Sports. Why didn't Chaoshen Sports sign it at that time? It's because Jiang Chao felt that signing was too deliberate, and he might not be able to get it later.

, I gave it to the big brother Anta.)

So he knew he was going to be a cooperative brand of Anta, and when he was still on Curry's team, he directly danced the Knicks cheerleading team's "Up and Down" dance on the spot.

Compared to Thomas who was a little reluctant to leave, Thompson sincerely yearned to go to a championship team like the Knicks. If nothing else, everyone would have the innermost thought of being able to "take advantage" of the championship.

Just like Okur's career, you first win the championship with a strong team at the beginning, and then there will be certain bonuses in terms of your experience and future contracts. You are a champion member.

"Is your heartbeat speeding up?" Youdu smiled and shook his shoulders.

Ellis: "Congratulations, you can go to a strong team to practice, come on!"

Thompson: "Thank you!!"

But the reason why players are jumping around him is largely not about him.

But thinking about the team taking off!

This rookie is replaced by two generals!

For the players, it is still beneficial for the players that the first-round draft picks do nothing for them. After all, there will be one less first-round draft pick to compete next year.

In other words, the Warriors players only know that they are missing Klay Thompson, but they have an offensive monster, the strongest 175 on the surface, and a double-double monster, the champion starting inside man!!!

Here, Thomas had already been brought in by the boss and general manager to get close to everyone. Seeing Thomas drinking mineral water directly as wine, Thompson silently left the home team's locker room without anyone noticing.

He walked toward the familiar but unfamiliar Oracle visiting team locker room with unlimited expectations for the future!!

This is the Youth Storm Knicks!!

Even if he is asked to pick up the ball for Curry!!

They are both shooters who like three-pointers, and there is a kind of sympathy for each other.

Just like when he first met Curry's eyes after entering the Knicks locker room, he has a keen intuition of a shooter!!!

"Welcome, welcome, warm welcome!" Although many people in the Knicks only knew this player a little bit because of this game, they still stood up and applauded after Thompson came in.

Even competitor Danny Green applauded sincerely. He is the Knicks player who knows Thompson best, because this is a rookie who regards him as a template, but how to say, he has always been satisfactory, so he does not need to care too much.

It's still early for young people to decide whether their position will be divided.

"Welcome KT, welcome to the Knicks." Sean Marks stepped forward and hugged him.

Stevens: "Come on, brother, let's continue to grow in the Knicks."

Thompson touched his hair a little cautiously, but his voice was already vibrating with excitement:

“than-thank-you!!!”

Thank you everyone!!

This is so flattering!

Curry: "I heard that you are very accurate in three-pointers? Let's have a competition in the arena tomorrow?"

Thompson also had a clear mind: "I am no longer a Warriors player, so the arena can no longer be used."

Hahahahaha.

The locker room instantly became much happier.

Jiang Chao finally spoke: "See you at the three-point contest later."

At this time D'Antoni and the Knicks press officer came in and said:

"The Warriors have held a post-trade press conference. We also asked Thompson to prepare, so that we can hold a press conference again tomorrow."

"Okay, then the other players will go back to the bus to rest first, and wait for Thompson to finish the interview and take off to New York together."

"e to newyork!!!" Howard sang, hooting and hooking Thompson's neck. This kind of closeness was welcome, but naturally it was stressful.

Thompson can naturally sing this song, but he can't sing it because his neck is pressed, otherwise the soup at night would be very sexy... He can sing every song by Jiang Chao after listening to it in the nightclub.

Jiang Chao looked at Thompson's back being taken to the press conference by D'Antoni, as well as the familiar Buddha-like hairstyle, and couldn't help but take a deep breath:

Buddha has returned to his throne!!

Now these people don't know what Clay's arrival means.

This is the same team of the top three shooters in future history!

The Knicks are bound to usher in the Buddha's light again and again!

.............

It is now 11:10 US time.

But fans of the Knicks and Warriors still stayed in front of ESPN TV to watch the latest press conference.

Because today's press conference is not only a post-match interview, but also a team-changing interview after players from the two teams directly changed teams. This is much more valuable than ordinary post-match interviews.

Not only were the fans looking forward to it, but none of the media reporters left either.

Because they all want to see each other's expressions and mental thoughts. Today is so magical.

Rachel’s complaints about Wang Binbin are:

"Boss Jiang never takes the usual route. On-site inspection by both parties is pretty good, haha."

Wang Binbin:

"If it were an ordinary transaction, it wouldn't be Jiang Chao!"

Rachel:

"Our boss is awesome. Look at the popularity of this topic, tsk tsk. It just so happens that Christmas is coming recently, and other teams are not making any trade moves."

Wang Binbin blinked his beautiful big eyes: "This is called business vision!"

David Lee and Thomas Jr., who are already Warriors players, both changed into plain clothes. One calmly and the other excitedly accepted the interview at the scene.

Reporter: "Lee, did you expect that you would be traded? There have been a lot of topics about you a while ago."

David Lee: "I have negotiated with the management and we are very harmonious. Thank you."

Little Thomas looked at Brother Li strangely and thought: Why did I have no warning?

David Lee knew what he was thinking: "You are a young man and have strong mental endurance, haha."

New York Times reporter: "This is your first time changing teams. Is there anything you want to say to the Knicks?"

David Lee: "The Knicks are my home team. I learned a lot there. Thank you to the Knicks for their training! Thank you to my brothers for leading me to win the championship together. I am very satisfied."

Master Li was finally called:

"Now that the Knicks are missing a general like you, what do you want to say to the Knicks players?"

David Lee smiled at Master Li and said: "I believe that under the leadership of boss Jiang Chao and young coach Max, the Knicks will not get into trouble. I also hope that the Knicks can continue to win the championship this year!"

There was constant applause from below, this is the pattern.

Reporter: “For the Warriors?”

David Lee: "I have a professional spirit and will give everything I have. Thank you to General Manager Wright and Boss Lacob for their trust."

Then the same question was given to Thomas Jr.

Little Thomas sat next to David Lee like a child.

But what he said was quite impressive. He said directly: "I actually want to tell Boss Jiang that I don't want to leave. I have the ability to replace Curry's position..."

Expansion is really inflated, but thanks are also real thanks:

"Without boss Jiang Chao, I wouldn't be able to play in the professional league. I also enjoyed the ring awarding ceremony from the veterans, which inspired me a lot!"

The words of the warrior who surrendered in the end were also fortresses:

"If possible, I want to play with the Warriors until I retire, because I feel like I am a warrior!"

When it comes to Klay Thompson, it's actually more ordinary. Klay is not the kind of player who expresses his emotions in front of the media, but he has said enough this time:

"Stephen Curry is a shooting guard that I liked before I entered the league. Boss Jiang Chao and Coach Stevens are also the management that I have always wanted to work with. I will work hard to practice, and this deal will not let them down."

"Finally, I wish San Francisco fans a Merry Christmas in advance. The brief encounter is wonderful, but you can still support me in the Knicks!" As expected of an ANTA spokesperson, he finally put the sneakers directly on the table to let the media

I have been given a close-up and a representative of conscience.

As the league's official website passed the review and released the news, the transaction was concluded, and Thompson boarded the Knicks' special plane directly to New York.

Thomas Jr. and David Lee met up with the Warriors where they were and went directly to the hotel arranged by Lacob to sleep.

Next is the various evaluations of this deal by the sleepless media.

They found the deal to be a great one and each got what they wanted.

David Lee, who the Warriors received, has an annual salary of 8 million, which is not high. He also has Bird Rights, which means he has priority to renew his contract. Renewing his contract next year is also very simple.

Thomas Jr. is worth 6.5 million two-way in five years, and when he comes to the Warriors, he can be directly rotated or started as a starter. With this kind of salary, if he can catch a big fish in the free market next year, the Warriors may complete the reconstruction in one fell swoop.

The Knicks are also comfortable.

The Warriors signed a four-year, 10 million contract with Klay, and this year’s salary is 2.63 million. It obviously has no impact on the Knicks’ space, and the four-year rookie contract is just in line with the Knicks’ 2009 contract renewal trend.

avoid.

As for the 2012 first-round unprotected draft picks, the more the merrier, of course. The Knicks currently have no space to make money, but there is no problem in acquiring rookies. Although the current roster only has 14 people, it is enough.

Dabaibian can be recalled at any time.

Moreover, what if the Warriors' record goes down?

We are now 12 in the Western Conference, so the pick should be between 6-10.

If the Warriors fall again after the trade, will it be like the Knicks and Pacers swapping the second pick the year before last? What if the Knicks hold the No. 1 spot in the Eastern Conference and get the No. 1 pick again?

Not to mention, the media is really looking forward to it. After all, David Lee and Thomas Jr. bring offensive help. After the middle of the season, everyone has strengthened their defense. Your Warriors have no defense, and they are likely to collapse and have a worse record??

But it doesn't matter. Now that it's hard for the Warriors to make the playoffs, this season is just about building up the chemistry, and next year they will be a good team.

Therefore, basically all media's evaluation of this deal is A or above. The main reason is because the Knicks have learned something.

David Lee!

Dolan said that he would never let David Lee go until he was 30 years old.

The TV station employee below complained: "I thought you wanted to say you would never trade..."

…

The next day.

Fans and players who didn't read the news last night got up and started discussion mode one after another.

Anthony: "I'll go and do the deal."

Next door, Jeremy Lin of the Nets posted on Weibo: "Scary."

Harrington, Nate Robinson, and Chandler tweeted together:

"@DavidLee, welcome to the old Knicks league!"

Duhon, who announced his retirement this year, also said: "The old Knicks league is full, brother, you are the one with the highest achievements."

Obviously, everyone is envious of David Lee for getting a championship ring.

The management of each team is also having various internal discussions, but the specific impact of this transaction on other teams in the league will depend on the subsequent performance of these three players.

In fact, the most popular topic is the recent emergence of a bunch of Thomas fans questioning why boss Jiang Chao let Thomas go. With such a good talent, replace him with Thompson?

When Jiang Supernatural woke up the next day, he received this news all over the screen. He also knew that these people actually knew why Thomas was not suitable for the Knicks. Curry was better than him. Beverly was the top defensive player in the playoffs. His

The independent style of play is not suitable for the Knicks. The ball cannot be distributed, otherwise they would not have lost to the Warriors yesterday.

But naturally he would not respond in this way. The approach of capitalists is to make fewer enemies and create more positive images for themselves. After all, there are so many industries, if fewer people diss him, more people will buy his products and watch his movies.

?

So he responded uniformly on Twitter, Weibo, and Super God Forum:

"Thomas is still young, he needs a stage like the Warriors."

"Just like when we take a midnight train, get a special ticket in the early morning, and watch the sunrise in the desert or the sunset on the seaside, you must love the wind of the wilderness more than poverty and thinking. Remember, the wind of a young man galloping is more precious than gold!!

!”

"You only have one youth, and you can't make enough money. I hope both of the Knicks can bloom to their fullest!"

The following instantly received rave reviews...

“It’s Boss Jiang who’s in trouble!!”

"Awesome!"

"As expected of Jiang screenwriter and Jiang singer!!"
