NBA: Start with 2 billion, buy the Knicks

Chapter 62: 5079, awesome potatoes

Oklahoma City.

Prosti high-fived the deputy general managers around him.

He also breathed a sigh of relief.

They didn't know that they were going to each other in both directions, and the Thunder was actually very willing to make this deal.

The Thunder management headed by President Pu actually wants to prove themselves that the small ball market must also have spring.

The bad performance has been demonstrated. Durant has practiced it since he was given unlimited firing rights as a rookie. It's time to improve his performance.

For a new team in the league like the Thunder, if you want to have fans, your record will speak for itself!

As for Harden? Love him!

A low-profile version of Ginobili, but after all, it is impossible to become the unique Manu

There is Wilson Chandler, who was trained by the Knicks last year when he got the right to fire. With Aduwei, he is very powerful from the outside.

President Pu and Coach Brooks originally wanted Harden to be a shooting guard like the sixth man. If he cooperates with the starting lineup, he will definitely not have enough ball rights. Therefore, the best way to solve this problem is to exchange for three senior blue-collar players.

They can talk to Durant and Westbrook about this matter. After all, the three strong reinforcements have come over. It is not impossible to let the core of the team know about it in advance.

But Durant and Harden communicate very closely. This guy loves social media too much, so let’s wait until the draft.

Deputy General Manager: "The Knicks probably also want Harden. This boss has good vision."

"I've said it a long time ago, this boss is smart, that's why we will do serious business with him."

President Pu: “I now officially announce that the Thunder’s goal next year is to reach the Western Conference Finals!”

.......

One day later, Thunder management took the lead in arriving in New York.

As the host, the Knicks did not let them stay in the hotel arranged by the NBA. Jiang Chao arranged for them to stay at the five-star Crown Hotel, and invited President Pu and others to watch the finals G5 together that night.

This kind of treatment is only available to the Thunder, and it also expresses the friendly cooperation between the two teams.

As Kobe continued to rage at the end, and after Ariza made a key three-pointer, Warcraft missed the equalizer with a low post, and Howard's journey to lead the team in the Finals for the first time came to an end.

"You can still laugh at this..."

Mr. Pu frowned.

Jiang Chao actually smiled. He was indeed a happy beast at this stage. In the end, Warcraft and Kobe smiled and hugged each other, showing no sign of unwillingness at all.

"Play basketball and be happy and that's it."

Jiang Chao won't say much, but in fact Master Huo was still very conscientious in the later period, but now he is really not very good mentally, and it may have something to do with the magic lineup.

Warcraft averaged 24.7 points and 14.2 rebounds per game during the Finals. He is definitely the most dominant center since O'Neal.

And compared to the little emperor in the East, Howard is now the first to shine, building a team around Warcraft alone.

What Jiang Chao was thinking in his heart was that with such a peak monster, adding a guard like Curry with a little independent offensive ability would be different.

One star and four shots are still suitable for backcourt players, but it is too difficult to play inside.

"It's a pity." Sean Marks likes this kind of defensive iron gate very much. It's a pity to think about it.

Thunder owner Clayton Bennett: "It's a pity if you sign him next year, you have the space."

Everyone knows that Downey Sr. cleared a lot of space for the Knicks, just for the big fish whose contract expires next year.

But now Jiang Chao actually doesn't have any extra operations on the players, and he and the Thunder are also changing rookies, so he can still catch big fish next year.

Sean Marks also does Tai Chi: "Let me tangle for a moment, the little emperor or the World of Warcraft?"

Mr. Pu suddenly turned to Jiang Chao who was lying on the sofa: "Boss Jiang Chao, who do you like?"

Jiang Chao yawned and said, "It's Stoudemire and Anthony, I'm their fan."

D'Antoni cursed from behind: "I believe you, you are a very bad boss."

If you really like Stoudemire, how could you not like him as the coach who leads Stoudemire to run and blast through Huashan?

&……

…………

With the finals over, the draft is officially scheduled to be held in New York in three days. It will be broadcast live on ESPN across the United States and broadcast in 203 countries around the world.

Several major events have happened in the past few days.

The Suns have personnel changes.

Old Donnie Walsh, who was fired by the Knicks, went to the Suns to replace young general manager Steve Kerr.

The boss of the Suns said in a very unpleasant way: "Go to TNT and continue to be a commentator. We need results, not you."

Kerr's short-lived general manager career is over.

Many Knicks fans congratulated him.

Sure enough, it is impossible for a big boss like Old Downey to retreat behind the scenes. He is at the general manager level everywhere, and there are many people who want him.

Downey Sr. is full of ambitions. His goal for the new season is to take the Suns back to the playoffs and help Nash return to the top!

Nash, Stoudemire, Marion and other players gave their full support.

This can be regarded as a slap in Jiang Chao's face.

However, Jiang Chao didn't care at all and just took office as he took office. He and Taiyang had no intention of trading.

Some of his supporters also feel that since he is engaged in youth storm, Downey Sr. is definitely not suitable.

Sean Marks called Cole, who was temporarily unemployed, and said, "Come over when you are free and let's have a chat."

Kerr said he would come to New York to talk after the draft, and now just let the Knicks focus on the draft.

Major bosses and general managers from the league came one after another, as well as more than 40 players participating in the draft.

Players will wait in the small green room to be selected, while senior executives will operate quickly in the invisible black room behind them.

Suddenly, bigwigs from New York City circles gathered.

I have to say that a certain 175 Uncle Drew is a marketing genius.

Knicks player Nate Robinson participated in the Rucker Park Streetball Challenge hosted by Professor at this time.

He shocked the New York basketball circle by scoring 507 assists and 9 rebounds in the holy land of street ball.

There were many executives and scouts from each team off the court, and they all saw Nate's crazy offensive performance.

You must know that this venue is rumored to be a place where Kobe can't even come, and where James doesn't even dare to come.

You can score 50 in Madison Square Garden, but you can never score 50 in Rucker Park! Anyone who can score 50 will go down in history.

By doing this before the draft, Xiaodou obviously wanted to tell Jiang Chao and all the teams how strong he is! He is still the same brave offensive genius!

"Wow, is this hype trying to get us not to trade him?" D'Antoni said.

"Thank you so much. The transaction value has increased a lot."

Jiang Chao smiled slightly.

The four heroes who blocked the door will not leave any one behind, okay?

So what if you score 50 points? If you have a bone in the back of your head, I won't be able to use you.

Thank you, Potato Man!

(ps: The first big climax tomorrow, I’ve been waiting for a long time, the draft.)
