The finals are over, and general manager Tim's work has begun to get busy.
The draft is coming, and many big deals are made on draft day.
Therefore, if it involves the trade of draft picks, many negotiations begin before the draft.
The good news keeps coming.
The Stephen Jackson trade went very smoothly.
Not only were Laga Bell and Radmanovic traded, Tim also got a second-round pick.
Although a second-round pick is not as valuable as a first-round pick, it is still worth millions of dollars.
The trade of Anthony Randolph for DeAndre Jordan also went smoothly.
If the lottery pick of the same year is replaced by a second-round pick, the Clippers will not suffer a loss no matter how much they look at it.
Likewise, Tim gave the Clippers a second-round pick.
Then the Ellis-Prince deal was completed.
The Pistons were hesitant to trade Prince.
After all, Prince is a champion member of the team and currently the only veteran, so the team is still a little reluctant to part with him.
However, the Pistons general manager is even more aware of Ellis' ability.
What the Pistons lack now is not veterans or puzzle pieces, but a core with strong independent scoring ability.
Stuckey was rushing to catch up, and the prospects were not promising.
Ellis is a proven star.
After Ellis arrives, the record may not necessarily get much better, but the ticket sales will definitely be much easier.
After all, Ellis is much younger, has a gorgeous playing style and is full of energy.
In the end, the Pistons agreed to the deal.
Later in the negotiation, Tim became a little entangled, so it was delayed for a few days.
As a result, the Pistons became the proactive party and took out a second-round pick as compensation.
If you miss this village, you won’t have this shop!
It has to be said that ginger is still old and spicy, and professional things must be done by professional people.
The general managers of the NBA have to deal with the extortion.
What is more troublesome is the trade between Crawford and Maggette.
The advantages and disadvantages of these two people are obvious.
Crawford was originally much easier to trade, and the things he could get back were better.
However, news of the conflict between Crawford and the team has spread, and many teams are thinking of cutting a piece of meat or taking advantage of the Warriors.
This also reduced Crawford's trade value a lot.
However, the relationship between Crawford and the team was not too tense after all, and Deng Fang reminded him early, so the deal was not too difficult.
If it's like what happened in later generations, and we wait until Crawford and the team are in trouble and the conflicts are irreconcilable before trading him, then we won't be able to get anything back.
In the end, Tim made a big three-way deal with the Hawks and Bucks, exchanging Crawford and Maggette for a first-round pick and two expiring contracts.
After these transactions, the Warriors now have three second-rounders and one first-rounder.
The second round is not as valuable as the first round, but it can’t help but be more!
There is no problem with three secondary rotations and one late first rounder.
With these chips in hand, Tim approached the Nets and proposed trading Brook Lopez.
At first the Nets refused simply.
Lopez performed well last season and the team is very optimistic about his prospects.
However, no one is absolutely not for sale.
If there is, it only means that the other party did not give enough chips.
When the Warriors threw out three second-rounders and one first-rounder, the Nets started to get excited.
Plus Biedrins?
A qualified starting center.
Not satisfied yet?
What about adding Brandon White, the 8th overall pick in 2007?
kindness?
Can you consider it?
I’ll give you the expired contract and give me the junk contract.
So sincere?
Give another one a deal in the first round!
The Nets finally gave Lopez a price tag.
Tim hesitated.
Is a first-year rookie worth so many chips?
Deng Fang gave the answer without hesitation: promise them!
Just a first rounder!
Our first round pick next year will be either No. 29 or No. 30!
How is that different from the second round?
Besides, with me here, it’s not easy to get a first-round pick?!
Seeing what Deng Fang said so decisively, Tim finally pressed the transaction button.
Deng Fang got his wish in the trade of Brook Lopez.
The team's starting center is in place.
All these deals have been negotiated before the draft, and all that remains is to sign the contract.
Although the Warriors have done a good job keeping secrets, there are no secrets in this league.
The Warriors' frequent trading actions during this period have aroused the curiosity of other teams and various media.
How could a weak team suddenly make such a big move?
Why did you replace the team's top four scoring players?
Does this mean you don’t want to live a good life?
Want a crazy rhythm?
People who have changed back don’t see anything good about it!
Either a rookie or a role player.
Is Nelson crazy or is the general manager crazy?!
Who will be the boss of the team after the trade?
Prince?
Lopez?
DeAndre Jordan?
Are you kidding?
Not even a point guard!
What happened to the Warriors?
There are various speculations from the outside world. People who eat melons have set up small benches and are waiting to watch the show.
…
On June 25, the draft was held as scheduled.
Not surprisingly, the Warriors selected Curry with the No. 7 pick.
The baby-faced cutie comes to the Warriors.
A new era in the basketball world has quietly begun.
…
As soon as the draft ended, the Warriors held a press conference.
While Curry was introduced at the press conference, the Warriors also officially announced that Nelson would take a break due to illness and that Deng Fang would serve as the team's new head coach.
Deng Fang sat next to general manager Tim, and his childish face made it difficult to tell who was younger, Curry or him.
If Deng Fang hadn't been wearing a suit and had a thinner figure, he might have been regarded as another rookie of the Warriors.
The Warriors actually changed their head coach?
Or such a young man with yellow skin?
Are you twenty?
Nelson takes a break due to illness?
Was he forced to abdicate?
The head coach made so many big moves as soon as he came on stage!
In addition, the Warriors actually chose the thin Curry!
No wonder the team has not seen a point guard in the previous series of trades!
The Warriors are considering Curry as their core!
Can he?
So thin!
The future of the Warriors rests on these two young men?
Finally, the big news came, and the reporters below suddenly became excited.
"Mr. Deng, what did you do before?"
"doctor."
this……
When will doctors be able to directly come to the NBA as head coaches?
Okay, next question.
"I would like to ask Mr. Deng, do you have anything to do with the recent big deals of the Warriors? Who decided to make these deals?"
"I!"
“Why do you want to do these deals?”
"Because this is my team!"
this……
What a domineering answer!
I am speechless!
Or the next question.
"Who is the core of this newly formed team?"
"Curry."
"This rookie you just drafted?"
"Yes."
"Why do you think so highly of Curry?"
"Because he's so great!"
"Curry is so thin, can he adapt to NBA-level confrontation?"
"Yes! Not only can it, but it will also lead the NBA into a new era!"
"New era? Is it as good as Kobe?"
"Kobe is very strong, but not as good as Curry!"
Okay, next question.
"What are your expectations for next year's record?"
"champion!"
"Don't you think it would be more realistic for a brand new team and a new head coach to set the goal of the playoffs?"
"No, we have only one goal, and that is the championship!"
"Why?"
"Because of Curry! Because of me!"
"A skinny rookie and a rookie coach, why are you so confident?"
"Heroes don't ask where they come from, and confidence doesn't ask why! Let me put it here, next season's MVP has already been booked by Curry in advance! And if I don't win the championship, I will be fired immediately!"
this……
Well, I don’t know anything else, but I’m bragging that you must be the strongest!
I have to say that Deng Fang's ability to show off is quite impressive.
