Shen Fei was stunned and overjoyed when he heard this.
It takes no effort to get there even if you wear iron shoes.
Ishmael Smith and Jordan Hilburn are the best trading chips in Shen Fei's mind.
Originally, he was waiting for an opportunity to speak out this plan, but unexpectedly the other party spoke it to him first.
But now that the deal has not been reached, he must remain calm.
"This plan can be considered."
Shen Fei touched his chin as if thinking, and said lightly.
"Brother Shen Fei, you can see that Lawson's personal offensive ability is still very strong!"
"He not only serves as a pick-and-roll initiator, but can also help the team open up the situation by using singles when needed."
Karnisovas recommends.
"His style of play...is quite suitable for him to be the sixth man on the bench."
"Our main defender Lowry is all-around. If Lawson can join us, it will be a good addition."
Shen Fei said with a smile.
At this moment, the shouting of "veteran actors" came from outside the box again.
"Why is this Ty Lawson fighting like a headless fly? The inside line is obviously full of people, but he still insists on getting in."
"He seemed to have played well last year, right? But there are a lot of small scoring guards like this in the NCAA, and they can be selected in the draft every year."
"And this type of player is too easy to target! If the Nuggets want to go further, they still have to rely on their main guard - Billups."
It turned out that while Shen Fei was talking to Karnisovas, Lawson failed to make two consecutive breakthrough layups.
One time was a steal by P.J. Tucker, and the other time was a shot.
After his blind operation, the Rockets continued to widen the point difference by relying on counterattacks.
Now the two teams are tied at 50:35, and the Rockets are already leading by 15 points!
Nuggets coach George Karl had no choice but to call timeout again.
At the same time, the time for the [If Divine Assistance] buff applied to Jordan Hill has also come.
The moment the halo disappeared, he felt as if his body had been drained, and he almost fell to the ground. Fortunately, his teammates beside him helped him.
However, because the director did not cut the camera to the Rockets bench, this scene was not seen by everyone.
Mark Jackson gave Jordan Hill a meaningful look.
Yesterday, Shen Fei specifically told him that Hill would perform well in a certain period of time in today's game, but would have obvious physical problems later on.
"Once he reaches exhaustion, immediately put him out of the car without having to put him back in again."
These are Shen Fei's original words, and Mark Jackson remembers them very clearly.
After both teams replaced their main players, the protagonists involved in today's transaction are no longer on the court.
"How about we find a coffee shop and discuss the details of the transaction in detail?"
Seeing this, Shen Fei suggested in a timely manner.
Winning or losing this game is not the most important thing. Getting the players you want and strengthening the team is the top priority.
Karnisovas nodded.
He is actually more eager to complete the deal than Shen Fei now.
Judging from this game, the style of the Nuggets is too single.
Except for the two star players - Anthony and Billups, the other players tend to have excellent physical fitness but lack basketball IQ.
This problem has troubled Karnisovas for a long time.
Billups joined the Nuggets two years ago, which brought the team's strength to a new level and even gave them a chance to compete for the championship.
The year they reached the Western Conference Finals, they were even called the "Denver Track Team" to describe the team's terrifying physical talent.
In a simple sentence, it can be summarized as - birds and animals per capita.
But a team with such great talent has never been able to take a step further.
Although today is just a preseason game, the game of several young Rockets players gave Karnisovas some new insights.
[Perhaps, the team needs some players who are not so physically talented, but have good skills.]
Jordan Hill, who has a beautiful mid-range shot, and Ishmael Smith, who is good at reading defenses and making correct decisions, are such players.
Moreover, Shen Fei's asking price is not high, just for blue-collar workers like Anderson and second-year rookie Lawson.
[It would be even better if the Rockets could get one more draft pick!]
With this thought in mind, Karnisovas and Shen Fei came to a high-end coffee shop.
............
"Manager Shen Fei, in fact, our Nuggets are now strong and have no demand for a trade."
"Lawson is also a young man I am very optimistic about. It only took him one year to make Denver fans like him very much."
Karnisovas said with a smile.
He has been in the NBA for many years and has experienced countless trade negotiations.
Facing the green Shen Fei at this moment, Karnisovas is confident that with his sharp tongue, he can help the Nuggets gain more benefits!
Shen Fei smiled when he heard this.
He did not rush to refute, but took a sip of coffee and said slowly:
"Manager Karnisovas, I have some immature ideas that I would like to share with you."
The Nuggets manager nodded with interest, as if he was all ears.
"You and I are both team managers, and you are my senior. You must know how difficult it is to build a competitive team to win the championship."
"Now the league is full of strong players, and those powerful teams are engaged in an 'arms race'."
"If the Nuggets want to win the championship, the most important thing is to look to Chauncey and Cameron."
"Chauncy is not young anymore, and these two years are his final peak. Anthony is in his prime, but he prefers big cities. The only reason why he can stay in Denver is that the Nuggets have the ability to compete for championships."
"If you guessed it right, Anthony is not very satisfied with the current situation of the team. He needs more helpers to compete for the championship."
Shen Fei's voice was low and his speaking speed was not fast, but every word made KarniĊĦovas highly concentrated.
Especially when he talked about Anthony, the Nuggets manager's back instantly broke out in sweat.
[How did he know that Anthony was not happy in Denver?]
Karnisovas was extremely shocked.
This matter was confessed to him by Melon in private.
Compared to the snowy Denver, Anthony prefers big cities like New York and Los Angeles.
His wife, Lara, also wants to develop a career in the Big Apple.
Now, Anthony's contract is about to expire, but he has no plans to start renewal negotiations.
In other words, if the Nuggets can't live up to expectations this year, Melo may just leave.
And this is exactly what Karnisovas doesn't want to see.
When Shen Fei saw the other party's sudden change of expression, he knew that he was touching on a sore point.
In fact, if it develops normally, the Nuggets, known as the "track and field team", will disintegrate in the middle of this season.
Both Anthony and Billups will be traded to the Knicks.
Of course, these are all things for later and have little impact on today's transactions.
"So, this transaction may be an opportunity to make up for the shortcomings of the Nuggets' lineup."
"Manager Karnisovas, your team should be the one who is more eager to trade."
Shen Fei said with a smile.
His analysis is very reasonable, coupled with the buff blessing of [Voice of Bewitching]...
