Deng Fang is different from the Warriors management back then. He knows the development level of each player and the general historical trend, so he has a clear direction for building the team.
Deng Fang knew exactly which players he could want and which players he couldn't.
Deng Fang is now very grateful that he was serious and attentive when watching football.
The core of this deal is to send Maggette and Crawford away early, no longer thinking about maintaining the team's salary space, but to use their value as much as possible in exchange for useful things, and then add the team
Other players will be replaced by Brook Lopez.
If you want to trade for Brook Lopez, Biedrins will probably be sent away.
The Nets are missing a center and must add something.
Although Biedrins is not very capable of scoring independently, he is still barely qualified as a team's starting center.
This is also the reason why Deng Fang wanted to exchange for DeAndre Jordan in the last trade.
Although Deng Fang can ensure that Brook Lopez will not be injured and miss the game, he cannot let a player play 48 minutes every game!
Everyone gets tired!
Moreover, Brook Lopez moves slowly, is strong offensively and weak defensively, and just complements DeAndre Jordan.
"What if that's not enough to interest the Nets?" Tim asked.
Indeed, these chips may not necessarily impress the Nets.
"Theoretically, trading Maggette and Crawford can bring back draft picks, or at least two second-round picks. If the Nets are not satisfied, then we will give away the team's first-round pick next year.
If that doesn't work, give them the first-round pick the year after next." Deng Fang replied decisively.
"Actually, adding at most one first-round pick next year is enough." Deng Fang added.
As a weak team, with no bright future in sight, the Warriors' draft picks for next year are still very valuable.
After all, there is a high probability that it will be a high lottery pick.
He is a strong player and a draft pick, so the Nets have no reason to refuse.
Theoretically, no player is untradeable. If it is really untradeable, it only means that you are not giving enough chips!
"You will ruin the future of the team!" Hunter said angrily.
"Our future will be even better!" Deng Fang replied: "Don't worry, I will get back as many draft picks as you give away!"
Tim kept listening and didn't reply.
Indeed, what Deng Fang did was somewhat radical.
However, it sounds like Deng Fang's trading plan also has feasibility.
Once the team is built according to Deng Fang's vision, and once Curry is as good as Deng Fang said, the Warriors' record next season should be much better than before.
As for draft picks, what Deng Fang said is fine. As long as you have good players, is it difficult to get draft picks?
After all, draft picks are futures and good players are spot goods, and the two can be converted at any time.
Of course, Deng Fang also asked the system in advance about this transaction, so there was no problem.
Lopez was a rookie in 2009, and the team's boss was still Devin Harris.
Even if Lopez performs well, it is not enough for the team to make up its mind to build a team with him as its core.
Lopez's offense is not top-notch, it is difficult to change the opponent's defense, and his defense is not very good.
It is precisely for this reason that a year later the team traded Deron Williams as the core.
Therefore, as the main player of a team that did not make the playoffs, Lopez can be traded.
"What about Stephen Jackson?" Tim asked.
"If the Nets want Jackson, they can give it to them. If they don't want it, just trade with the Bobcats in exchange for Radmanovic and Laga Bell." Deng Fang replied.
There is a reason why Deng Fang said this.
Historically, on November 17, 2009, the Warriors and Bobcats completed a four-person blockbuster trade. The Warriors sent Stephen Jackson and Asi Law to the Charlotte Bobcats in exchange for two veterans, Lagar Bell and Vladimir Putin.
Dimir Radmanovich.
Stephen Jackson's offensive ability is even better, but this person is a thorn in the side and will not worry anyone anywhere.
Historically, at the end of August 2009, Jackson revealed the idea of being traded away in an interview with "DIME" magazine.
In mid-September, the team fined him for his behavior in an interview that disturbed the morale of the team and rashly expressed his intention to leave.
Although the team initially promised not to revoke Jackson's title as captain of the Warriors, following a series of irritable behavior in early October, Jackson suddenly resigned as captain of the team after training on October 14, which also made it clear that he wanted to work with the Warriors.
Determination to break up.
Subsequently, Jackson's state was as if he was against the world. Of course, for him, his world is the entire Warriors team.
Later, during the preseason game between the Warriors and the Lakers, Jackson had a conflict with his opponent Kobe. He was fouled five times in ten minutes. He was then given a technical foul and Nelson immediately replaced him. Instead of being grateful, Jackson verbally
After hitting back at the head coach, the Warriors suspended Jackson for two games.
When Jackson had a dispute with Kobe, his teammates were strangers to him, let alone united to support him.
Ellis then successfully took over the captain's armband, and Jackson himself continued to express his grievances to the media many times.
On November 9, Jackson's agent went out of his way to the media to accuse head coach Nelson of being dishonest. On November 11, there was even news that "the Warriors players can't wait to see Jackson leave." The storm started.
At the climax, it seems that the final outcome can already be seen.
For the Warriors, it is a relief to the team that this turmoil is over, regardless of the profit or loss of the transaction itself.
Because he knew all this history well, Deng Fang knew that Stephen Jackson would definitely be sent away in a few months.
Like Crawford, instead of having a falling out and letting the whole world know that you are going to send him away, it is better to send him away early.
What's more, even without these bad things, Deng Fang would not have kept Stephen Jackson.
Such a thorn is a tinderbox. If you don't know when it will explode, it will definitely give you a headache.
In addition, Stephen Jackson is a veteran of the Warriors. With his character, he will definitely not be convinced by a rookie like Curry.
All players who violate his team building philosophy will be replaced.
Again, historically the purpose of the Warriors' transaction was not clear, it was simply to save money.
In exchange, Lagaber has a contract worth US$5.25 million in the final year, which will expire in the summer of 2010, while Radmanovic's contract has the remaining two years with a total value of approximately US$13 million. Of course,
He holds a player option for the summer of 2010.
If Radmanovic chooses to opt out of his contract, it means that the Warriors can clear out about $11 million in salary burden in the summer of 2010.
The deal saves the Warriors $5 million next season and could clear $11 million in cap space in the summer of 2010.
Of course, the Warriors had no other good solution at that time, because it was already well known that Stephen Jackson had fallen out with the team.
The Warriors didn't care about the Laga Bell Warriors in exchange.
Because Lagabel was already a 33-year-old veteran at that time and suffered constant injuries.
Throughout the 2009-10 season, Lagaber only played 6 games.
Therefore, what the Warriors were interested in at the time was Laga Bell's expired contract.
