Chapter 133: Big deal

"It must be a smoke bomb. The Knicks may be lowering prices. Capitalists are like this. Marbury is not young."
"Maybe it really wants to train new players. Marbury is an All-Star and must have a big contract. In this way, the Knicks' luxury tax will not be less, and Dragic performed well in the playoffs."
"Is the Knicks a team that lacks money? They didn't do anything less about throwing money into the water. What does it matter if you give Marbury more money? It would be foolish to split the championship lineup."
"Maybe it can't be retained, now several teams are interested in Marbury."
Outside news has disturbed, and the Knicks have different opinions.
But there is still not much resistance to this matter. They didn't like Marbury very much. They would also raise the question of age when they want to renew the contract. Now it is polite to question whether to renew the contract.
On the contrary, it is puzzling that Qi Li has to change the high position regardless of the cost. Last season, he also changed his position. Didn't it look down on the No. 6 pick? I can't wait for the No. 7 pick.
But Qi Li is a great hero of the Knicks. James Dolan is already crazy. Not only has he given a big contract, but the team’s configuration is also very reasonable. Let him be completely in charge. The managers are heartbroken and there is no way. .
It was the boss who gave the money, and of course Dolan was the boss of the Knicks.
As draft night approached, negotiations between the Knicks and several teams had preliminary results.
Only the King’s No. 4 pick, the Timberwolves’ No. 6 pick and the Warriors’ No. 7 pick are the only things that need to be discussed.
The Grizzlies have not discussed the second pick, but there are other gains.
Now the Knicks don't want to add Jordan, the three teams are still loose, they want other suitable rookies and draft picks.
The draft date is getting closer, and the bottom line between the two sides is getting clearer.
The Kings were the Lions before, but in fact they really wanted to trade. Randolph and Dragic would be able to deal with it. The Timberwolves would be even more troublesome as long as rookies and draft picks were involved. The Warriors had their own players participating and the conditions changed. , They can not involve Dragic and Jordan, but they have to use David Lee as the subject of the transaction.
In fact, if the situation does not change, the No. 4 pick and the No. 7 pick have the same meaning for the Knicks. Qi Li's goal on draft night is very clear, that is Stephen Curry.
On the day before draft night, the Knicks' counterparties were the Kings and Warriors.
Relatively speaking, the Warriors' side is not considered a contract. Dealing with the king requires a contract.
When it came time to draft night, the Clippers chose Blake Griffin without any suspense, and the Grizzlies continued to jump into the pit and took down Hashim Thabeet, and then the Thunder took Harden.
The combination of Curry and Harden was considered together, but soon gave up. Curry is the core team, and the second position is better than 3D players. As for the ten million level or the All-star level, Look at the future operation.
At this time, the Knicks have chosen the Warriors, and Qi Li has basically determined that history will not change.
After a call, the deal was officially concluded. The Knicks used David Lee and Moreau to trade the Warriors' Al Harrington and Marco Belinelli, and the other first-round picks were swapped.
The Knicks won the Warriors' No. 7 pick and chose Stephen Curry, who would have led the Warriors' revival.
When the deal was announced, fans all over the world were confused.
The young David Lee that the Knicks signed for a big price is just giving away. What the is Stephen Curry, a skinny boy who can only shoot, can he play nBa?
Don't blame everyone for being excited, even David Lee himself didn't expect it.
Qi Li tried his best to sign David Lee, who is averaging a double-double with a second-maximum salary, is not planning to use him as the core of the team, or at least one of the core of the team.
Everyone thought that David Lee would be the future of the team. After all, Marbury was old, but Dragic and Jordan also performed well in the playoffs. Everyone felt that David Lee was at least one of the core of the team.
Although Randolph and Eddie Curry are also great, they have also caused a lot of trouble before. It feels like there is no David Li Wen. I did not expect the Knicks to send away David Li first.
Qi Li will say, is he asking the team to sign David Lee for the purpose of trading, otherwise the value of the transaction will be greatly reduced when the David Lee contract expires.
Qi Li called David Lee and apologized.
"Coach, you guys..." David Lee smiled bitterly at home, he was watching the live broadcast.
Because it was too sudden, he didn't expect to say anything, and the call between the two parties was also very embarrassing.
Having got Curry, Qi Li became arrogant and said directly to reporters: "This is the core of the Knicks team next season, and this is the ruler of the league for the next ten years."
The reporters all asked, did the head coach go crazy after the Knicks won? The key is, is the team management going crazy with the Chinese? This skinny guy can dominate the league. Why don't we talk about the Martian attacking the earth? Right.
The draft is still going on. The Knicks chose DeMarre Carroll with the 25th pick, which is quite satisfactory.
With the 40th pick, the Knicks chose Marcus Thornton, then traded with the Hornets to get the opponent's second-round pick for the next two years.
The player Marcus Thornton can actually be used, but the sixth man Knicks has it, and Qi Li has not kept it. He has the pick to give to others.
There are also Patrick Beverley and Danny Green who are famous in this second round, but Beverley will not be able to rise in a few years, and it can be obtained with very low representatives, so Qi Li has no choice.
The 45th pick, of course, the Knicks chose Danny Green.
With the 60th pick, the Knicks chose Wesley Matthews.
In the original history, Matthews was unsuccessful. UU read www.ukanshu.com, but the Knicks' 60th pick could not be sold, so Qi Li simply got insurance.
In addition to the young All-Star trade's No. 7 pick, the Knicks' other choices feel more reasonable. The players they choose are intuitively better than last season's rookies.
After draft night, the Knicks broke the deal again.
They sent Quentin Richardson to the Grizzlies to get the former No. 2 pick Darko Milicic.
If you can’t get the No. 2 pick this year, just trade the No. 2 pick and ask if you are afraid.
The fans sighed again. The Knicks were determined to dismantle the championship lineup. They thought that the Knicks' current lineup might build a dynasty, and they didn't know what their management thought.
I thought it would be reliable to win the championship, but I didn't expect it to become more weird.
Richardson actually played well in the Knicks. He is a good role player. Has Milicic ever proved himself? It’s not weird to send away the David Lee trade insider, but this trade feels weird. .
