0258 Deal reached stronger warriors
"How sincere is the Pacers?"
Su Yang didn't quite believe that since the Pacers chose to rebuild, why did they trade Granger? After all, Granger was Bird's valued player at the beginning. The Auburn Hills Palace incident did not occur because of the timeline change. The team's record is too good. The Pacers executives thought that Granger could not be selected. Only Bird defied the crowd and invited Granger to try out.
Granger's pick fell sharply due to his absence from a knee injury in his senior year. At the same time, he was 22 years old when he entered the league. Compared with LeBron and Anthony, who entered the league two years earlier but were younger, they seemed to have no potential. Let the Pacers pick up the leak.
After selecting Granger, Bird immediately arranged a consultation for Granger to check his knee injury. At the same time, Pacers coach Carlisle did not let Granger play in the summer league, but let Granger rest at ease. It can be described as quite high.
But now they actually say they want to trade Granger?
Su Yang doesn't really believe it, it might just be a cover, but if it's a serious deal, it's okay to send away Murphy + Josh + two first rounds. Granger can fill the space left by Josh, and Artest can fill the potential of Posey. access to the free market.
The direct result is that Dayao has less powerful substitutes. Compared with the previous aspects, it is still a long-term and short-term problem.
Anyway, if the Bobcats send out the first round of 07, there is no possibility of getting the peerless master Durant, and the temptation is indeed great.
What kind of defensive concept is Artest + Garnett + Prince + Bell + Bilu? James + Kobe will not work as a team.
Granger is also free for four years.
"I think they are very sincere, because he didn't inform us alone, other teams have also received news, Jermaine O'Neal has fallen out with Artest, they can only keep one, and they obviously value Jermaine more Yin O'Neill,
As for Danny Granger, the reason for their trade should be that they failed to meet their expectations and wanted to avoid a price drop. Moreover, there were gossip rumors that the Pacers executives had a little bit of a view on Bird’s operation for so many years without results. ..."
Sean said that Su Yang turned on the computer to check and found that Granger has played 46 games so far this season, starting 14 of them, averaging 21 minutes of playing time, averaging 6.6 points, 4.6 rebounds and 1.0 assists per game, and shooting 43.3 %.
To be honest, the statistics are really not that good. According to the statistics of the main force for 36 minutes, the average is less than 12 points per game. Compared with Zach Randolph, Michael Reed and Tony? The 36-minute data of Parker et al. is much worse.
The key point is that Granger also missed three games due to injuries. Considering that he is 23 years old, it is really difficult to collapse.
Probably that is the reason why Granger in the historical trajectory was able to win the Most Improved Award later. Many people did not expect him to improve like that. Lead the team to the playoffs.
"If we make a trade, our room to operate before the end of the 08 draft is basically locked, unless Kevin Garnett leaves in the 07 offseason as planned, and Billups chooses to enter the free market to seek a bigger contract ,
It is also impossible to renew Posey's contract, and at the same time, Prince's positioning will be more embarrassing, mainly because of these three major problems. "
In order to get Garnett, the first rounds of 04 and 06 have already been sent out. In order to trade Rodney Rogers, he chose to send out the first round of 05, and then traded Artest and Granger. The first round will also be sent out,
It also includes getting the first round of 07 from the Bobcats, and the follow-up until the end of the 08 NBA Draft. There is really no room for manipulation, and the salary and draft picks are locked, unless it is as Sean said, Garnett and Billups both enter free market.
"let me think again…"
Su Yang has stopped worrying about whether it is a good deal, and is more concerned about the possible destruction of the atmosphere in the team caused by the transaction. In the past three seasons, the Warriors have never sent anyone away in the middle of the season. Now the momentum of 47 wins and 5 losses is very strong. No huge flaws.
Undecided for a moment, he hung up the phone and continued to appreciate Beyoncé's new Victoria's Secret underwear. He took advantage of the opportunity to chat about the content of the call just now, and bluntly said that he wanted to trade, but he was worried about destroying the atmosphere of the team. Backup center.
"What's the trouble with that?"
Beyoncé took off the Victoria's Secret suit, "Couples may separate after decades of marriage, and you can't guarantee that the players in the team will remain the same. They also entered the free market during the off-season. You are nothing more than worried about your reputation. After all, since four Since years ago, you have never sent someone away in the middle of the season. You have always been known for your stability. Once you set this precedent, you will become that kind of ordinary boss.
Four consecutive championships is of course very important, but what is more important is long-term business stability. Since the transaction is short-term turbulent and long-term stable,
Then trade. "
After listening to Su Yang's silence, the reasoning was so reasonable, but he still couldn't make up his mind, "Let me think about it again."
On the 18th of the second day, the Rookie Challenge.
No one from the Warriors attended, so Su Yang attended the alliance council meeting on his own.Several owners complained bitterly, emphasizing that after the new labor agreement was reached, the team’s income still has no obvious signs of increase, and more support from the league is needed. Among them is the owner of the Pacers, Herbert Simon. Small, complain about what the alliance has 8% of the public but does not give guidance.
Su Yang listened to the complaints with a calm face, and flipped through the data, and found that the Pacers' attendance is indeed quite low. It was also poorly done.
Stern didn't have a solution either, and the owners of profitable teams such as Su Yang and Lakers Bass were soon jointly attacked and asked to increase the support ratio of profitable teams. Owners such as the Grizzlies, Magic, Eagles and Clippers rushed agree with the proposal.
Su Yang didn't say a word, and the Knicks boss Dolan caught the Grizzlies and waited for the bosses to scold him, don't f*cking money grabs.
The meeting ended on a less than pleasant note.
Thirty bosses and many executives continued to chat in batches. Eagles boss Ted Turner caught Su Yang complaining, saying that Marvin Williams was not bad, but he was still far behind Chris Paul. Yang shrugged and spread his hands, expressing that the Eagles don't know how to train them.
Rockets boss Alexander then pulled Su Yang aside and asked what he really thought of Morey, why he didn't like Morey and thought that Morey's professional level was mediocre, "You haven't seen him before, right? You probably don't have any intersections Bar?"
Su Yang chuckled, "It's true that I have nothing to do with Morey, but I hate him using data analysis under the guise of talking about bullshit magic ball theory. Data analysis can only be used for assistance. Three-pointers and free throws are indeed the most efficient, but in the middle Hardest shot to defend..."
To put it simply, it is recommended not to use Morey as the general manager, and it would be better for Sam Hinkie to succeed Dawson.
It's nothing more than saving money, who wouldn't.
"Okay, I see." Alexander walked away with a worried face, obviously struggling to listen to the advice.
Soon in the afternoon, Su Yang was fine. He ran to the Warriors exhibition area of the carnival and took a group photo with the fans. The TNT reporter who broadcast the live broadcast sighed: Su Yang is such a big boss. fan.
During his rookie season in the evening, Su Yang had a party with Jordan and Barkley at the same time, played Texas Hold'em, and won 168 million US dollars to dominate the game. In the end, according to the habit of previous years, he collectively donated it to the welfare organization in Houston in the name of everyone.
After resting for one night, I drove to the airport early the next morning and picked up Bingbing and Fina who came to watch the excitement. The two girls smiled and said they were here to support Beyonce's halftime performance, but they were actually planning to take a trip to Miami on the way to enjoy the beautiful scenery of the sunny beach. Too lazy to get together once in the season.
Busy until noon, Sean sent a photo showing Garnett having dinner with current Timberwolves president Kevin McHale, former head coach Philip Saunders, and Green Cay president Danny Ainge. For the photo, Pierce is there too.
After seeing the photos, Su Yang made up his mind that it would be better to take the initiative and immediately notify Sean that he can trade with the Pacers.
However, it was temporarily decided not to use Artest, but instead to Stephen Jackson, because Artest's defense is good, but the three-point deviation can easily lead to an awkward position for Prince, which makes it difficult to arrange the rotation, and he doesn't want to spend more energy. To coax Artest's bad temper.
Within half an hour, Sean called to inform the deal that the Pacers were very sincere and said bluntly that they had made money.
Su Yang also believed that the Warriors made money, which was a win-win situation.
