If you want to get Yi Jianlian and Ben Wallace at once, you need to recruit the Wizards and Pistons.
Including the Kings, a total of four teams are involved.
If you want to satisfy all parties, you naturally need to take a long-term approach and find out the needs of all parties.
Shen Fei briefly analyzed it.
Yi Jianlian's official age is 23 years old (it may be 26 years old), and his average data per game this season has dropped to 5.6 points and 3.9 rebounds.
It can be said that this is a lottery ticket that has scratched out "Thank you for your patronage".
You can get it with a second-round pick.
As for Ben Wallace, a retired veteran, his trade value is not high.
But he himself may not have the intention to leave his old club again (after all, he has won the championship).
If you want to get big money, you need to start with the Pistons and offer them a price they can't refuse, so that they can do Ben Wallace's homework.
Shen Fei roughly estimated that one second-round pick might be a bit difficult, but if there were two, the Pistons would definitely not refuse.
Or maybe using a second-round pick and a decent rookie would work.
In other words, in this four-party trade, 2-3 draft picks are needed to satisfy the Pistons and Wizards.
Shen Fei has previously compiled statistics on the Rockets' draft picks.
When he first took over the team, the Rockets had one first-rounder and one second-rounder in 2011.
Since then, Shen Fei has made a total of 5 transactions:
1. Send out Zeiss Budinger, Jared Jeffries and this year’s first-round pick No. 14, and acquire this year’s first-round pick No. 10 and second-round pick No. 10 from the Indiana Pacers.
2. Send Aaron Brooks, Len Stephenson and an 11-year second-round draft pick to acquire Blake Griffin from the Clippers.
3. Send Jordan Hill, Ismael Smith and a 12-year second-round pick to acquire: Chris Anderson and Ty Lawson from the Nuggets.
4. Send Courtney Lee, Chuck Hayes, and acquire Brandon Roy, Greg Oden, and an 11-year first-round draft pick from the Portland Trail Blazers.
5. Send Ty Lawson, Kevin Martin, and a 2013 second-round pick to get: Stephen Curry, Troy Murphy, and a 2011 first-round pick from the Golden State Warriors.
Excluding the first transaction (which used 10-year draft picks), Shen Fei sent out a total of 3 second-round picks and received 2 first-round picks.
Young Asians have always been willing to give up second-round picks, but now the Rockets don't have a second-round pick to facilitate a deal.
Moreover, with the value of Scola and Shane Battier, Shen Fei does not feel that he needs to spend extra chips.
On the contrary, he hopes to get another first-round pick from it.
After thinking about this, Shen Fei opened his mouth and said:
"If the Kings want to acquire Scola and Battier in one go, they will have to pay a first-round pick and two second-round picks."
"The first-round pick is for us, and the two second-round picks are for the Pistons and the Wizards."
Ajiali was stunned when she heard this, and then started brainstorming.
"If you think about it this way... Scola averages 20 points per game, so it's not too much to trade for a first-round pick, right?"
"Two second rounds, one for the Wizards and one for the Pistons."
"When necessary, we may have to bring out another young player."
As Shen Fei spoke, the [Sound of Enchantment] was activated unconsciously.
He wanted to have a normal conversation with Ajiali, so he wanted to turn off this buff, but found that there was no other way, so he had to give up.
"this..."
Ajiali was a little confused and didn't know how to respond.
What Shen Fei said makes sense.
Scola and Battier are both proven good players who can stand alone.
It's just that the Kings are still in the rebuilding period. Do they need to spend a lot of draft picks to trade two veterans?
This is where Ajiali hesitates.
"The Kings have more than one first-round pick, right?"
"According to the selection I just recommended, Jimmy Butler only needs a late first-round pick."
"And, if I'm not mistaken, the Kings want to add a backup center in next year's draft, right?"
Shen Fei said lightly.
In the original time and space, the Kings selected Bismack Biyombo with the No. 6 pick in 2011.
The center from the Congo has only averaged 5.1 points and 6.2 rebounds per game in his career. He is just an ordinary blue-collar player and cannot compare with Butler.
"Well...my father planned it this way before, but he still has to make a judgment based on the lottery at that time."
"Moreover, if, like you said, we choose poorly this season, our pick will probably be very high."
Ajiali said seriously.
Even under the debuff of [Voice of Enchantment], she still maintained a clear mind, which made Shen Fei have to look at her with admiration.
[Hey guys, I just shot myself in the foot.]
[This girl does have something...]
The Asian youth secretly thought.
"It depends on whether you believe me or not. Jimmy Butler's strength will definitely be in the top three next year. You don't need a high pick to get him."
"If you can accept this condition, I can also tell you about an underrated player on the Kings."
"If you train him well, his value will definitely be no less than a first-round pick."
Shen Fei continued.
When he was studying the Kings lineup before, he accidentally discovered that the "big white side" - Hassan Whiteside was actually with the Kings at this time.
Of course, he is now a minor player. He has not played even one second of the season so far and has been relegated to the Development League.
If trained well, Whiteside will be better than Biyombo no matter what, and he will definitely be enough as a substitute for Cousins.
Ajiali was stunned when she heard this, and then began to think about whether there was such a person in the team.
But she thought about it and couldn't think of such a player.
The Kings, who have been rebuilding, do have a lot of new players on the team, but most of them have already been labeled "Thank you for your patronage".
Ajiali lowered her head and glanced at the napkin in her hand.
If what Shen Fei said is true, then the king will definitely make a lot of money from this transaction.
For one first-rounder and two second-rounders, you can get two generals, a future cornerstone of the team (Butler), a super sixth man (Isaiah Thomas), and an untapped talent. Jade...
This is almost like winning the lottery!
The only doubt is that Shen Fei is accurate in judging people and whether these three unknown newcomers are as strong as he said!
[Do you still need to consider this? Of course I choose to believe him!]
Ajiali no longer hesitated, stretched out her right hand and said: "Happy cooperation!"
Just kidding, is there anyone in the league with a more vicious vision than Shen Fei?
If he couldn't read people accurately, the Rockets shouldn't be number one in the league now!
Of course, the most important thing is that Shen Fei has already given the king two pieces of advice worth thousands of dollars.
Whether it was Evans' position issue or Mike Malone's coaching recommendation, it was ultimately proven to be completely correct.
In addition, Ajiali trusted Shen Fei very much, so it was natural for her to make the decision to close the deal.
Shen Fei smiled and stretched out his right hand to shake his hand: "Then I will contact the other two teams tomorrow. You can also talk to your father when you go back."
"Um."
Ajiali nodded, not daring to look at Shen Fei. The contact of her hands made her a little shy.
Fortunately, Shen Fei is not the kind of person who likes to eat people, so he quickly took his hand back,
Afterwards, the two chatted for a while.
Seeing that it was already late, Shen Fei offered to take Ajiali home.
But the king's daughter said that the family's butler and bodyguard had been waiting outside the restaurant for a long time.
Shen Fei smiled and expressed his understanding.
The two of them finished their meal and walked out of the restaurant together.
"I will go back to Sacramento early tomorrow morning. Please let me know if there is any progress."
"Waiting for your good news~"
After saying that, Ajiali waved her hand and said goodbye to Shen Fei.
Shen Fei watched several luxury cars drive away, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart that Ranadive was indeed a top rich man.
............
When Shen Fei returned home, the night was already deep.
After washing briefly, he lay on the bed and took out his mobile phone.
Soon, a text message attracted Shen Fei's attention.
"Boos, I have already discussed the cooperation with Eric Miller today. He will be fully responsible for the future sneaker design of Curry and George."
"As soon as possible, we can hold a press conference the day after tomorrow."
The text message came from Under Armor CEO Sonic Guerrero.
After Shen Fei became the big boss, he was the one who connected with Shen Fei, and he was considered a very capable executive.
Eric Miller is a sneaker designer.
In the original time and space, it was Wade's way that he designed.
Miller not only brought avant-garde American design to Li-Ning, but also successfully integrated Chinese elements into it. It can be said that he is one of the contributors to the internationalization of Li-Ning basketball shoes!
At the same time, he is also the only designer Shen Fei remembers.
"Then let's do it the day after tomorrow. Let's fight quickly."
Shen Fei replied.
After replying to the text message, he was ready to turn off his phone and take a rest.
But at this moment, a cold metallic sound suddenly sounded in Shen Fei's mind.
"Ding! The system task is now released - the culture and sports are blooming!"
"An excellent team manager must not only lead the team to win championships one after another, but also make achievements in the fields of art and business!"
"Mission content: (1) Inject Chinese elements into Under Armor and make it a national brand of China; (2) Lead Under Armor to the world and become a sports brand comparable to Nike and Adidas."
"Task reward: [SSS-level star skill pack]*1; [Time Back Card]*1."
???
Shen Fei was shocked.
This mission appeared too suddenly...
Flowers of culture and style?
Isn’t this annoying!
Shen Fei originally did not pay too much attention to the identity of Under Armour's boss, but he just didn't want the brand to go to waste in his hands, so he signed two players.
It's good now, not only to run Under Armour, but also to run it into the top three in the world!
This difficulty is no less than leading the Chinese men's basketball team to win the Olympic gold medal.
Fortunately, the rewards for the mission are still very generous.
Shen Fei took a general look.
[SSS-level star skill pack] is different from the two S-level skill packs he got previously.
It does not extract the skills of a certain star, but can reproduce the complete skill package and dynamic physical talents of a certain star.
In other words, the [SSS-Level Star Skill Pack] can create a historical star out of thin air.
The only difference between the original and the replica is just the body shape!
After Shen Fei saw this introduction, he immediately determined that this was the decisive factor in completing the task of winning the Olympic gold medal!
Use magic to defeat magic, use beautiful country's historical stars to defeat their national team...
This is the only possible way to succeed!
And another reward [Time Back Card] can set the time back to 3 minutes ago.
This is a bug-level card that can change your life.
"This reward is worthy of the difficulty of the task..."
Shen Fei murmured to himself.
Immediately, he took out his mobile phone again and sent another text message to Guerrero: "I will be there in person the day after tomorrow. I must arrange the press conference to the highest level."
............
The next day, Shen Fei called Guerrero again, emphasizing some details of the meeting and asking him to invite major media across the United States to try to make the press conference more prestigious.
At the same time, Shen Fei also asked the Rockets' publicity department to build momentum on major social platforms.
"Don't think about the budget, let as many major radio stations, commentators, and Internet celebrities help repost and promote it."
"If I can't see the words Under Armor press conference on Twitter trending before noon, just resign yourself."
These are the exact words Shen Fei said to the director of the Propaganda Department.
Soon, terms such as #神飞是Under Armor’s boss#, #curry, George will sign with Under Armor#, #神飞willattend the Under Armor conference tomorrow#, etc. began to flood the Internet. .
