NBA: Start with 2 billion, buy the Knicks

Chapter 69: Old Downey cuts off his handle, Curry is gone!

Oklahoma City.

A handsome guy from Thunderbolt quickly re-edited the message after seeing it. Love it!

He and Westbrook also talked on the phone. The two of them played against the four Knicks last year, and they both know that these four are very strong, and except for Luo Ye, they are all ready to fight.

Especially players like Nate, Master West likes them very much and can't help but want to charge into the battle.

He doesn't care who he picks with the third pick, he just wants to lead the team to rush, and they all know that Harrington is a stable inside who can open up space, and Chandler and Nate can rush!

"The dunk king is here! Let him teach you fancy dunks."

"No, I still like to smash buttons." Megatron said.

Schoolbag Du Da held two mobile phones in his hands and typed frantically, sending a large private message to Harden saying that he was not trustworthy.

The trumpet started to get really popular on reddit, with various replies from netizens about what the Thunder will be like next season.

Harrington and Nate, these two were the most difficult to guard against last year.

There are these people.

Du Shao said angrily that the thunder was going to take off!

"Thank you, President Pu! The Thunder will no longer be a fringe playoff team!"

Other Thunder players also have the same idea. It is beneficial to both sides and there is nothing wrong with it.

…

Butler University, Hayward and the basketball players are all analyzing the Knicks. Harden is an NCAA scoring machine, and Ibaka is the Spanish interior war god. In his opinion, Harden's singles ability will not be better than Duran's in a team.

It's really bad, he needs the ball to make a difference.

"It's not a bad deal."

"With less strikers, we will take off next year if I join."

"Haha, Mr. Hai!" Now half of Butler University are Knicks fans, and Jiang Chao had a great impression that day.

…

San Antonio.

Spurs chief assistant coach Budenholzer was watching the draft together at Popovich's house, with a cell phone contacting RC Buford in front of him: "Physically speaking, Ibaka is a very good player, he is very impactful.

Force, the Knicks can make this choice, at least the young insider will work hard."

Popovich: "Yes, Harrington's defense and rebounding are not very good, and Ibaka's offense is not really displayed in the Thunder. His talent can be displayed in a weak team like the Knicks."

Budenholzer: "Maybe next season I won't be so fat."

Popovich also admired Jiang Chao a little: "Yes, even rookies can work hard for the team. Harden is also a master of difficult shooting. Ibaka guarantees rebounds. You can practice it slowly."

Several Spurs bosses are a little fond of Jiang Chao, a young man who has never met but has made a fortune in the Holy City, because the Knicks' reconstruction method is similar to that of the Spurs, and the two newcomers from the Spurs are also there.

The Knicks are a little more approachable.

RC Buford looked at Jiang Chao who was shaking hands with President Pu over the phone: "Fortunately, we were ranked lower, otherwise I would have been really afraid that he would cut us off, haha."

Spurs player Udoka tweeted:

"The Thunder's shooting has improved, but the rebounding is actually weak. Let's quickly build a heavy tank inside."

What he said was predicted by God, and later President Pu actually hired Perkins to match Harrington.

Inside the Knicks offices.

Lao Lu was so excited that tears filled his eyes:

"This boy is honest and refuses to be bullied by me!"

Liu Yan covered her mouth and nose and couldn't believe all this. Seeing the reaction of the fans downstairs, she knew that Jiang Chao had made a great deal, and she was sincerely happy.

Downey Jr. and other managers who followed Jiang Chao also raised their arms and shouted.

Wow!

A bunch of team cancers who like to show off are finally gone. Although these four people are capable, they are causing trouble every day in the Knicks, which is the biggest headache for the management, and they are all gone at once.

Here comes a shooting guard with a beard and a power forward who has trained with Gasol. These are the future.

Liu Yan faced them with her hands on her hips:

"You're right to follow the boss! Don't look down on him just because he's young!"

"Okay Secretary Liu!"

"Secretary Liu is mighty!" Liu Yan's efforts during this period were noticed by everyone. She worked till the end and took care of every detail in person. She was really Jiang Chao's right-hand man.

“Okay boss lady!”

"Secretary Liu and the boss really get along, haha!" Many female employees joked.

Such a capable and good-looking Chinese girl will belong to the boss sooner or later.

Liu Yan turned around with a red face, her heart pounding.

"Stop talking nonsense and watch the draft!"

…

"With the fourth pick, the Sacramento Kings selected Tyreke Evans..."

History has not changed because of Jiang Chao's big operation. Jiang Chao breathed a sigh of relief.

Sean Marks told him to relax. This kind of national live broadcast draft is very mental, and few teams change their minds at the last minute.

It is safe to select Curry with the eighth pick next.

At this moment, D'Antoni received a call and quickly walked to Jiang Chao:

"Boss, former Suns general manager Steve Kerr called and said he has something important to ask you."

Jiang Chao answered the phone. He had contacted him before and said he would contact him later, but it was not such a critical moment. Didn't this guy watch the draft?

"Is there something wrong? You'd better tell me quickly, Mr. Cole."

"I haven't been fired, but my assistant is still in the Suns. He just told me that the Suns may be interested in Curry."

"Time is running out. Boss Jiang Chao, if you want Curry, you have to be decisive."

"Um?"

"I'm just saying, if you don't want to choose Curry, forget it. My assistant said that the new president Downey Sr. really wants Curry."

Cole hung up the phone. This was a sign of surrender. After seeing Jiang Chao's performance in the draft, he wanted to join this young group. Who is not young yet?

Perhaps due to some fate, he always felt that Jiang Chao wanted to choose a point guard, so he called the future boss to remind him.

Jiang Chao was stunned for a moment, what happened?

He never told Kerr that he wanted to select Curry, and the Warriors also made it clear that they would not select Curry. What the hell are the Suns? Do you want to make a splash with the 14th pick?

But his heart suddenly sank.

Made!

I have been thinking about Harden these past few days, and I actually forgot about this!

No matter how hard I calculated, I never expected that Old Downey Jr. would come out to disrupt the situation!

But you must not let him succeed in cutting off the beard!

Next to him, D'Antoni quickly called Downey Jr., who was watching the scene in the stands upstairs.

On the contrary, Downey Jr. was very strange:

"Didn't my dad always want Curry? If he fell to the 14th pick, my dad would definitely choose him."

"Sir, don't we want Curry? Hey...hey hey..."

Downey Jr. patted his phone, but D'Antoni had already hung up the phone over there.

Oops!

Jiang Chao slapped his head.

I guess, if he can trade upward, so can others.

Just because the Suns have the 14th pick doesn't mean they can't trade up!

Don’t forget, Curry was originally appointed by Downey Sr.

No way!

If you don't know how to be smart, you will be fooled by your cleverness!

His No. 8 pick was no longer a steal, but it was hard for him to imagine that the general manager he fired would still choose the person he wanted after taking office as the new team's general manager.

How could Jiang Chao have guessed this before the draft?

Old Nelson is missing, and old Downey appears again!

At this moment, Sean Marks' phone rang.

"Hello, I'm Donny Downey." The former general manager of the Knicks spoke very quickly without any small talk.

Sean Marks pretends to be calm:

"What's up?"

"We want you to pick No. 8 and rotate with No. 14, or you can make an offer, okay?" Old Downey also communicated normally.

Jiang Chao's heart was turned upside down. It was indeed like this! Old Downey was probably afraid that other teams would intercept him and was trading upwards. He had indeed deceived everyone that he wanted to choose Curry...otherwise, Old Downey would not have been able to play.

Call over.

"We won't change here." Sean Marks nervously refused.

"Okay." The other side hung up the phone.

Jiang Chao immediately looked over to Don Nelson.

Sure enough, they also answered the phone, and Downey Sr. also held the phone at the same time.

Wright is obviously also communicating with Downey Sr. Does Downey Sr. want the No. 7 pick?

Looking at Don Nelson's expression, he was obviously very interested.

Because he didn't want to make such a crazy move like picking Curry after being criticized by the boss. It wouldn't be bad if he could trade for an outstanding player like Jiang Chao, and give the Suns a favor by the way.

The Warriors and Jiang Chao know very well that the Suns are trying to steal Curry!

Because everyone knows that the Timberwolves will definitely choose a guard in the two picks.

Jiang Chao didn't know much about the situation on the Warriors' side. He only knew that he couldn't make any mistakes!

At this moment, my heart was beating violently.

"Boss, what should I do?! Curry may be gone!"

"You go waste the Suns' time, I'll make a call!"

Jiang Chao took action personally and quickly dialed Timberwolves general manager Kevin McHale's phone number!
