Chapter 126 Aiming at the Rockets' No. 1 Pick
After only three minutes of the fourth quarter, the Knicks gave up the game directly because the score difference between the two sides had already broken the 30 mark. Judging from the current situation in this game, the score difference will only be wider and wider.
After the opponent raised the white flag and surrendered, Jiang Dongbing did not kill the Knicks. After all, this team was his big customer, and it was definitely not a good thing to beat the person up.
Jiang Dongbing replaced the two water dispenser guardians in the team, veteran Thorpe and others, ending the game.
With the current Grizzlies' lineup so luxurious, Jiang Dongbing suddenly discovered that when the game entered garbage time, it was difficult for him to deal with it. Where can I find so many marginal players to stay on the court?
David played for about 30 minutes tonight, scoring 42 points, 21 rebounds and 5 blocks. It can almost be said that he broke the New York Knicks with his own strength, which made Knicks boss Dolan look very jealous.
No one expected that David could exert such terrifying dominance under Jiang Dongbing's hands. It is true that Ewing's strength is no longer as good as before, but that is not a stinky tomato and rotten bird egg player. He can cut such data on the head of the old gorilla. His reputation as the number one player of paralyzer can be said to have completely taken off.
In addition to Ewing, Mobley also scored a very high score of 27 points tonight. As a substitute, he scored such a score in the opening game of the National Live, especially the three-pointers who hit one after another, which directly attracted a lot of attention.
...
"What? Ginger, are you going to sell Mobri?"
After the game, Jiang Dongbing told Stewart about his idea of sending Mobley away, which made Stewart exclaim. In his opinion, Mobley was quite useful, and it would be a pity to sell it like this.
"Yes, Stewart, we actually don't have much playing time to give Mobley, and his second-round pick, I remember you only signed a contract with him for two years?" Jiang Dongbing asked.
Stewart nodded awkwardly. When Miller signed the contract for three years, Mobley was an outside player, so Stewart only signed the contract for two years.
He didn't know that Mobley had such ability at that time. If he knew that Mobley was so strong, he would definitely sign a four-year contract directly.
Now it is the last year of Mobley's contract. Stewart thought that instead of waiting until the contract is over and Mobley leaves by himself, it is better to sell Mobley now, at least to get some bargaining chips.
Of course, after the end of this season, the Grizzlies may not be able to renew their contract with Mobley, but this offer is definitely not low. Considering that there are too many better newcomers in the Grizzlies lineup now, the Grizzlies should always retain some salary space to renew their contracts with others.
"Okay, Jiang, you're still thinking about this kind of thing for a long time."
"But what should we exchange for Mobri?" Stewart asked helplessly.
Go to exchange for newcomers with good potential? Sorry, there are too many newcomers with Grizzlies now. Even if they get it, there will definitely be no chance to train them.
Go and change the star that has been played? Not to mention whether Mobley can be replaced. Even if he gets it, can the star he gets really better than the starting lineup players of the Grizzlies?
Super center David, who just scored 40205, is currently at least able to squeeze into the top ten young power forward O'S, the league's first small forward Stephen Jackson, and the league's non-recognized first point guard Billups. How can such a starting lineup be replaced?
You can't put the exchanged stars on the bench, and the stars will definitely not be happy. Then they may cause some bullshit things.
So now Stewart is also trapped in the trouble of happiness. He really doesn't know what kind of chips to trade with Mobri.
There must be many teams in the league that want Mobley, but the Grizzlies don't know what to change.
Jiang Dongbing was also worried. The 2000 draft picks were not worth the money. Although the 2001 draft picks were not considered a 2001 draft pick, Jiang Dongbing was not very interested in it. As long as the Grizzlies' salary structure is not a problem, Jiang Dongbing now does not need to make major adjustments to the Grizzlies' lineup.
The draft year that really interested Jiang Dongbing was in 2002. This year, Yao Ming entered the league as the top scorer. Jiang Dongbing was determined to win Yao Ming, so Jiang Dongbing paid all the money to get the top scorer in 2002.
Thinking of this, Jiang Dongbing couldn't help but have an idea in his mind, which was to send Mobri to the Rockets.
Under normal circumstances, the Rockets actually played for the Rockets the first season before they drew the No. 1 pick, Mobley played for the Rockets and was also the scoring champion in the Rockets.
Now Jiang Dongbing sells Mobley to the Rockets and points out that he wants the Rockets’ first round pick in 2002. Then, will he be able to get the Rockets’ No. 1 pick at that time?!
Although there are many variables in this, such as whether the Rockets can still get the No. 1 pick, if they don’t get it, Jiang Dongbing’s plan will only fail, but in Jiang Dongbing’s view, in order to get Yao Ming, this risk is still worth taking.
After all, Jiang Dongbing didn't pay anything. He was going to sell Mobley and didn't have any bargaining chips he liked. Selling the Rockets in exchange for a chance to win Yao Ming. This deal is not a loss no matter how you look at it.
"Stuart, contact the Rockets, we'll give them Mobri!" Jiang Dongbing said firmly.
Stuart's head, whether it's sold to the Rockets or to other teams, is the same in his opinion. The only thing to consider is what chips the opponent needs.
"How to make a trading plan? Jiang, what do you value the Rockets?" Stewart asked.
He was most afraid that Jiang Dongbing would tell himself that he had fallen in love with the Rockets Olajuwon and Barkley. Both of them were about to retire, and even if they were exchanged, they would be of no value.
Olajuwon is okay, he may be able to fight for another year or two, while Barkley has expressed his intention to retire more than once. If the Grizzlies make a deal about Barkley with the Rockets, it is very likely that Barkley will directly announce his retirement the day after the transaction is concluded.
"If they want to have their first round picks in 2002, they must be their own first round picks, not the first round picks traded." Jiang Dongbing specifically pointed out that the Rockets had to draw the first round picks themselves.
If they agreed to have a first-round pick alone, if the Rockets really got the No. 1 pick at that time, they might not be willing to hand over the No. 1 pick to the Grizzlies even if they bought a first-round pick from other teams.
There is no need to sign the No. 1 pick. Even if it is just a lottery, a stingy team like the Rockets may buy a first-round draw that is far behind in the first round and hand it over to the Grizzlies.
