Chapter 421:

In this matter, the Blazers are happy even if they are not happy. Durant has made it clear that he will not renew the contract with the Blazers next season. As the so-called strong twist is not sweet, it is better to let Du Du than to commit evil with Durant. Rand played his final warm-up on the team-as many chips as possible to trade for some high-quality potential players.
So, after some discussion, the Blazers gave the Bucks an offer.
But Wang Xiao refused to think of this offer after seeing it.
The other party actually wants to use Durant to pack and trade the letter brother Adetokumbogavicto Oladipo.
Letter Brother is now the ace of the Bucks, and the future growth potential is not lost to Durant at all. This is a non-sale product of the Bucks, but how can Wang Xiao trade in the thighs he will rely on in the next few years?
But Wang Xiao is not angry, business is the process of bargaining. If it is really impossible to talk, it will not be a big deal until next summer.
So Wang Xiao met with a Middleton plus two first round binders.
The Blazers General Manager almost smiled when he saw the offer.
Wang Xiao is obviously a counter-attack on a quote from the Blazers.
Although Middleton is a starter in the Bucks and has performed well, it can be said that it is just an ordinary player. The two first rounds of the Bucks are worthless. After all, the top of the league record is the Bucks. !
It's a fool's dream to exchange Durant for such scraps!
Later, the Blazers bargained again, this time they did not mention the letter brother, but wanted to get Oladipo and Embiid.
Although Embiid has been reimbursed for two consecutive seasons due to injury, he has failed to complete his first season show, but his reputation in the league has not been affected much.
As an inside player, Embiid's talent and ability have been praised by the media more than once.
What's more intriguing is that, despite the fact that Embiid was reimbursed for two consecutive seasons, Wang Xiao still steadily left it on the team without any idea of ​​giving up or trading.
What does Wang Xiao do? In the league for so many years, have you ever looked at the situation?
The Trailblazers were the first beneficiaries of Wang Xiao's superb vision, and this time was naturally not like giving up the opportunity of Lu Mao.
Of course, Wang Xiao could not agree to this offer.
Although with Durant, Embiid is not a necessary core player for the Bucks, but after all, this is the future All-Star player and one of the rare all-around quality insiders in the league. This season, it's too bad to trade with no use at all.
...
As the so-called paper can't hold fire, when the two sides are arguing over the issue of trading chips.
The news that Durant wanted to leave the Blazers was finally exposed.
As soon as this news came out, it immediately caused shock in the alliance.
Durant is the top three players in the league, leading the Trail Blazers to the Superstar many times!
After learning that the great was leaving the team, almost all the teams in the league were excited, and swarmed to use all available resources to inquire news and provide quotations to the Blazers.

When Wang Xiao heard the news, the first thing that came to mind was that the news was definitely spread by the Blazers. They obviously wanted to use this method to put pressure on themselves, and at the same time wanted to see if there were other balls. The team will give better chips.
But Wang Xiao is not in a hurry. This matter is not something that other teams want to "insert".
The reason is simple. What Durant wants to join is a team that has the strength to win the championship.
If a team pays too many chips in order to get Durant, it naturally loses its competitiveness to win the championship. For Durant, it is to jump from one puddle to another. Duran, whose contract expires in the summer How could Special choose to renew the contract?
Moreover, Durant also hopes to play with Wang Xiao, these are the advantages that other teams do not have.
Sure enough, when the news was exposed, Durant's agent soon issued a statement saying that Durant only wanted to join a team that can compete for the championship. His goal is only to win the championship. If the ball is traded The team does not have the ability to win the championship, he will not consider the issue of summer renewal.
After this statement was announced, a large number of teams were immediately dismissed, but there are still a few teams persevering, including the Clippers, Spurs, Nets, Mavericks and other teams.
But after listening to the offers of these teams, even the Trail Blazers management team was disappointed.
These teams can give more chips than the Bucks.
The Clippers can only provide a few "color" players plus a few first-round draft picks.
The Spurs gave Bosh the conditions for two first-round draft picks.
As for the Nets and Mavericks, the offer is disappointing the Blazers.
The Nets said that in addition to Jeremy Lin, the other players on the team were picked by the Trail Blazers, but the only valuable player in the Nets is Brook Lopez.
The Mavericks have the same meaning, but there are basically no players in the team that are worth the effort. It is difficult to understand why they think they have the strength to win the championship.
After repeated comparisons, the bucks actually offered the most attractive offer.
After several bargains, the Bucks’ offer has become Oladipoga Middleton, plus a first-round draft pick in the next two years.
Oladipo and Middleton are both young and talented players, and there is still great potential to be explored in the future, especially Oladipo, these days the Bucks team up to brush him data to the All-Star, This made his stats soaring. At this time, he already has 18.4 points and 4.3 assists per game.
Finally, the Trail Blazers' management began to move.
...
On Wang Xiao's side, he also had his own ideas when giving this quote.
First of all, one thing is certain, if Durant comes to the Bucks, it will inevitably occupy a lot of ball rights and shots. With the current ball rights allocation of the Bucks, Oladipo and Middleton must be directly impacted. Middleton may be on the bench at that time, and Oladipo's numbers will shrink again and again.
Whether it is Oladipo or Middleton, it is a period of growth and ascent, and it is impossible to accept as a substitute.
This is completely different from when Wang Yue was in the Wizards. At that time, Harden, George, Leonard and others who were under the bench of Wang Xiao were all rookies who have just entered the league, so that rookies who have never played nba can play as substitutes. It's easier than returning players who are used to starting games to the bench.
Middleton and Oladipo are players who have served as starters for at least two seasons. They also have stable data support. In the next year, both of them will usher in the contract year. Everyone wants to sign a big contract. At this juncture, Wang Xiao was sent to the bench, and he would definitely apply for a transaction.
Therefore, it is inevitable that the two of them will be traded. The difference may be what the return is.
