Chandler had previously intended to sign a four-year, $52 million contract with the Suns, which translates to 13 million per year.

In this way, the Lakers only need to add a few extra points, and the deal can be completed.

And Mayo played pretty well with the Lakers, averaging close to 13 points per game last season.

Considering the current situation of the Nets, this is also a good reinforcement for the Nets.

However, Warken Dean never agreed to the deal.

Just now, Kupchak added a lottery-protected first-round pick to the deal.

"Mr. Mickey, I said this is not a matter of adding draft picks or not."

However, Walkendian still declined Kupchak.

"Then what do you want?"

Kupchak said this for the first time.

In transaction negotiations, this is a very taboo word, because saying this means giving up the initiative, and subsequent negotiations will be led by the opponent.

But Kupchak really has no choice now, because from the information he has collected, Chandler is extremely close to signing with the Suns.

Although this is just a sign-and-trade, it would never be possible without the cooperation of the Nets.

"Trevor Ariza."

"no."

"Then there's nothing to talk about."

"If you don't make a deal with us, you can't get more!"

Kupchak was a little anxious.

The Suns actually have to sign and exchange, but the only thing the Suns can offer is an expiring contract like Marcus Thornton's, which means his combat effectiveness is definitely not as good as Mayo's.

"But even if we don't get anything, I don't think it's a loss. After getting OJ, I still have to consider how to distribute the ball. I only lack defensive players here. To put it more bluntly, I can even let him go for nothing.

Tyson, and then use the salary space to offer other defensive players, such as Matthews, Afflalo, and even Danny Green."

Walken Dean fully demonstrated his negotiation skills.

Of course, he was telling the truth.

The Nets' current salary space is enough for him to do that.

And the reason why he didn't do that and was still talking with Kupchak here is simply because Ariza's contract is more cost-effective in comparison.

Those people he mentioned had contracts worth more than 10 million yuan.

But Ariza's current contract is 32 million for four years, the same price as Bradley, and the new season is the second year of the contract.

The difference between him and Bradley is that he can swing to defend small forwards and even power forwards, which is equivalent to a mature and enhanced version of Covington.

And there's another thing that Warken Dean can't say. The salary cap will skyrocket next season, and his ambitions don't stop at this point.

There was silence on the other end of the phone for a long time.

"Mitch, you have to know that my trading with you will make you more competitive in the Western Conference, but at the same time, it may also be creating an opponent for ourselves that is too powerful to defeat, so this is for both parties.

All are acceptable results.”

Silence represented hesitation, and Walken Dean continued.

He said it directly.

He traded with the Lakers to make the Lakers stronger to fight the Warriors, but he couldn't make the Lakers too strong, otherwise he would be looking for an opponent for himself.

But from the Lakers' perspective, who doesn't want to become stronger?

After a long time, a wry laughter came from the other end of the phone.

"Mark, you're going to get what you want."

Kupchak finally agreed.

Although trading away Ariza will cause them a loss, it can be made up for.

After all, Mayo's contract is still there, and the Lakers still have room for follow-up operations.

But Chandler is what they must win, and there can't be a better center than Chandler on the market now.

“A pleasure to work with.”

After Walken Dean hung up the phone, he immediately called Chandler.

"Tyson, I want to send you to a team that is also hopeful of competing for the championship."

…

DeLong is leaving Brooklyn.

Lin Ying went to the airport to see him off alone.

It's a bit disappointing to say that there are no members in the Nets team who won the championship two years ago.

The two talked a lot at the airport.

I think back then, Deron came to the Nets earlier than Lin Ying.

Unexpectedly, he would leave the Nets earlier than Lin Ying.

When they parted, Delong hugged Lin Ying tightly for a long time.

In fact, he didn't want to leave.

He is also a die-hard follower of Lin Ying, so why wouldn’t he want to play ball with Lin Ying?

And more importantly, Lin Ying helped him restore his relationship with Sloan!

That is something he is forever grateful for.

If possible, he can stay as a substitute.

As he once said to Lin Ying, basketball is not everything in life.

It's just that he is not as outgoing as Jokic, he is more introverted and thinks more.

If he chooses to stay, many problems will arise.

The most direct one is the conflict between the management and Lin Ying.

He could feel Lin Ying's attitude on that phone call. If he chose to stay, Lin Ying would definitely let him stay, but in that case it would be difficult for Walken Dean to do it. After all, which team would really let 2000

Wan's top-paid player comes off the bench?

Furthermore, if he stays, the Nets will basically have no room for reinforcement.

Lin Ying already failed once last season because of his injury. If Durant comes and fails again because of his injury, then he will be "repaying kindness with hatred" and he will regret it for the rest of his life.

"Deron, I went to Los Angeles to cheer up."

After the hug broke apart, Lin Ying patted Delong's arm and said.

He didn't know what Deron was considering, but he knew that the Clippers would be a good place for Deron.

In addition to not having Paul, the current Clippers team also has Griffin and DeAndre Jordan, including Rivers.

If Deron goes there, he will have a chance to achieve something with them.

After all, although Deron is injured now, he is much better than in history.

And it’s also very interesting to talk about. Deron and Paul are two point guards in 2005, and they are also lifelong enemies.

Now that he has replaced Paul's supposed position in history, it is worth looking forward to how the subsequent story will develop.

"The same goes for you. You are destined to become a legend. Although I can no longer experience it with you, I will witness it all in Los Angeles."

Delong finally revealed his true feelings.

Listening to Delong's words, Lin Ying's nose suddenly felt inexplicably sore, and then she hugged Delong tightly.

He didn't know what Delong was thinking.

But at this moment, he seemed to understand what Delong was thinking.
