start with scouting

Chapter 115 I Want It All
At two o'clock in the afternoon, Su Yang woke up and drove a Mazda to Thunder training base.

According to the agreement, Presti was waiting for him in the general manager's office, and the small boss Simon was also present.

With the presence of the boss's representative, the results of the discussion on the transaction or signing can go directly to the board of directors, so as to avoid further mistakes.

After chatting for a while, Su Yang politely declined the hand-ground coffee offered by Simon, filled a cup of hot water by himself, and said seriously: "I saw the three options provided by your email in the early morning, and I hesitated a little. Dele..."

Presti nodded with a smile, and the small boss Simon waited quietly. Su Yang continued: "Chandler is a very strong frame protector, and he does a good screen job, and Sefolosha is an excellent perimeter player." Defensive players, it's hard for me to choose.

But after hesitating, I decided to have them all! "

Presti suddenly showed a little hesitation, while the little boss Simon frowned slightly, but smiled a little, obviously did not expect that Su Yang would want Chandler and Sefoloza at the same time, let alone Su Yang Never mind Nenad Kostic.

Krstic needs to spend tens of millions of dollars to sign the contract. Su Yang directly denies the most expensive plan, and his plan is to use the saved salary space of an average of 500 million per year to sign high-quality substitute players in the free market.

Of course, the most important thing is that Krstic's role is too small, his cover ability is average, and his ability to protect the frame is not up to standard.

Seeing the reaction of the two, Su Yang knew it.

That's why he hesitated. The difficulty of operating two transactions is much higher than operating a single transaction.

"Tell me your thoughts in detail..." Presti regained his composure, and raised his hand to signal Su Yang to continue.

"As far as the current situation is concerned, there is no need to worry about KD and Russell's offensive ability. The two can digest most of the ball, so we need more frame protection and peripheral gates to form a super super super defense + super strong With an offensive lineup, coupled with a number of high-quality substitutes and role players, we can definitely build a dynasty-level team.

But the premise is to get two people at the same time, no matter which one is worse, it will weaken the defensive strength. Think about Sefolosha entangled players such as Kobe on the outside, and Chandler dealt with players such as Gasol and Garnett on the inside, which will not give the opponent any loopholes. . "

The voice fell, and Presti laughed: "To be honest, I didn't expect you to have such high expectations for Sefolosha. I originally planned to let him be a qualified rotation, able to defend and shoot open three-pointers, but you seem to position him Into outside DPOY."

Su Yang nodded, knowing that Presti's original idea was to let Sefolosha make up for the position vacated by Mason after being injured, and incidentally prevent the absence of Damien Wilkins. It is normal to underestimate Sefolosha's defensive ability.

Also underestimated are the Bulls coach and management, otherwise the Bulls would not think about trading Sefolosha.

"Sefoloza is the kind of defensive player who doesn't seem to be a big threat. His defensive strategy is more classical. When he defends the ball holder, he likes to stand on a flat foot, relying on quick left and right moves to firmly stick to the ball. People, and then use the long arm to interfere with the ball holder's shooting or dribbling, which is more similar to the Rockets player Battier, or Scottie Pippen."

After Su Yang finished speaking, Presti curled his lips slightly: "But we don't have two bargaining chips. Wilcox is the player with the most tradeable value in the current lineup. Mason originally also has one, but he is about to undergo knee surgery. Reimbursement for the season.

It is impossible for us to trade Jeff Green, do you want to trade DeAndre Jordan? "

Su Yang thought for a moment when he heard the words: "What do the Bulls hope to get in return? I checked the scouting report before and found that Sefolosa has not played in several games. The Bulls' head coach almost gave up using it. The price should not be too high."

"They want at least the 26th pick in the first round, because Sefolosha was selected with the 13th pick in the first round."

Presti flipped through his work notes and quickly read, "We still need to balance the salary of 200 million US dollars. The problem is that next season, we don't have a late first-round pick, only a second-round pick, and they don't want DeAndre Jordan. type."

"No need to send DeAndre Jordan away..."

Su Yang pondered for a moment, "Is it possible to trade a first-round pick from another team?"

Jordan is the backup center of his envisioned lineup. He is definitely enough to eat cakes and protect the frame. With a player who can break through and pass the ball, he can play a lot of tricks on the bench. The general team can't stop the bench at all. It's not worth it to go.

"If the transaction..."

Presti quickly flipped through the work notes again, and then said: "The Nuggets are looking for a long-term center recently, and they are willing to pay their first-round pick next year. They need to eat Chucky Atkins' contract at the same time. At $324 million, we have enough cap space, but we don't seem to have the players who meet their requirements."

Su Yang heard the words and thought, the Nuggets are very strong this season, currently ranked second in the Western Conference, and have great hopes of reaching the second round of the playoffs or the Western Conference finals. The draft pick next year is very low. Going out has little effect.

The Nuggets may regard the Lakers and Spurs as imaginary enemies, and then want to supplement their elders to ensure a playoff confrontation.

"I can meet the conditions of the Nuggets, just let Johan Petrolo play more points..."

Johan Petrol is 213 cm tall and has a long wingspan. He is good at grabbing offensive rebounds. From the draft to his career, he has never suffered a serious injury. His athletic ability is not bad. As long as the negotiation is good, the probability of the Nuggets choosing to trade is extremely high .

The difficulty of the transaction lies in eating the Chucky Atkins contract, which is really a waste of space and not helpful.

"If you can make Petro meet the requirements of the Nuggets, then we can eat the contract of Chucky Atkins, just don't need to sign Nenad Kostic, which has saved nearly 500 million space, and by the way, can let the Nuggets compensation in cash."

After Presti finished speaking, he turned to look at the small boss Simon, obviously more to explain to Simon.

After all, the Thunder Consortium is relatively poor, and the bosses are stingy, so they have to plan every penny they spend.

"I can be satisfied, but the team's winning percentage will drop..."

Before Su Yang finished speaking, Presti and the small boss Simon nodded repeatedly to express their understanding. After all, the team has already injured three important substitutes, and they have to give Johan Petrol a statistic. Be reasonable.

"That's how Sefolosha's trading plan is implemented, I will work with all my strength, let's talk about Chandler..."

Presti continued: "From your evaluation just now, you seem to regard him as the best defensive player level, but I think he is a qualified rotation center. The main purpose of the trade is to ensure the smooth completion of the regular season. You What do you think?"

Su Yang nodded. Presti's starting point was fine. Now that Chandler has just recovered from a serious sprain, and he still has a potential toe injury. The data has dropped sharply. The Hornets are thinking of trading Chandler, otherwise No way.

"My opinion is that after the trade, let him take a good rest to avoid the recurrence of the injury, and there is no need to continue playing this season..."

Su Yang paused for a moment, observing the expressions of Presti and the little boss Simon, as surprised as he expected.

The team's main center directly cultivated for most of the season, and the team's record would be greatly affected, but Su Yang knew that if Chandler played forcibly, he would only perform poorly like he did in the Hornets, and indirectly lead to the 58-point tragedy in the playoffs .

In other words, if it is implemented according to Su Yang's idea, then the Thunder's record this season is very likely to be the worst.

"I'm still the same as before. Rather than pursuing the playoffs or dozens of useless victories, we should pursue building a dynasty. Now that the opportunity arises, we must seize it. If we miss it, it will be Olajuwon and Michael. Jordan's difference, we still have a chance to win the championship, but it is difficult for us to become the first in NBA history, think about it."

The atmosphere in the general manager's office became a little gloomy. Presti and Simon thought quickly, while Su Yang waited silently.

After a while, the little boss Simon and Presti looked at each other, got up and said: "Su, before, it was hard for us to believe what you said, but after the previous incident, we clearly saw that your occupation Mental and business level, now that you speak so sincerely and confidently, we are willing to try according to your crazy idea, let’s do it.”

Su Yang chuckled, knowing that Simon was talking about the dismissal at midfield. After that, not only did he not take the opportunity to make trouble or ask for more power, but he also took the initiative to avoid the expansion of the situation. The key point was that he was able to beat strong teams many times, making people believe him coaching level.

Presti answered: "As far as the fans are concerned, we are trying to find a way to promote appeasement, so you don't need to worry."

Su Yang nodded to show that he understood that the trade of Sefolosha and Chandler was confirmed, and the next main task was to let Petrolo improve his statistics, and by the way ensure the growth of Durant and other young players. As for the winning rate of the game, there is no need to consider it.

After chatting for about ten minutes, Su Yang got up and left the general manager's office to go to the training ground.

He thought while walking, if all goes well, next season the Thunder will start with Westbrook + Sefoloza + Durant + Ibaka + Chandler, and the substitutes will be Harden + Green + Collison + Jordan, Then find a way to get a defender or a forward.

"This lineup, I directly declare invincible!"
-
PS Petrol's transaction happened for real, I changed it to the protagonist to promote it, the purpose is to increase trust.

The Chandler trade also happened for real.

But the Thunder later returned the product because Chandler had a toe injury, and Chandler returned to the Hornets to play the playoffs with the injury.

Also, ask for votes.
