Learning in the NBA can make you a god

Walsh never thought that a deal can be negotiated once, and each time it needs to be done slowly. This is not the time of the draft. Many decisions must be made in an instant. If you hesitate for a moment, you will lose the opportunity.

During the regular season, it has only been about a month, and there is still a long time before the trade deadline, so the Knicks still have time to wait and wait for a suitable bargaining chip.

"Mogou, why did you call me? We won't trade Yao, and we won't trade either." Walsh directly mentioned those who were unwilling to trade.

"Well, I know they definitely can't trade. We are going to trade Lowry and Beverly. I wonder if the Knicks have any ideas about trading them?" Mogou regrets it now. Why did he let Lowry go back then? Because the boss is too stingy and unwilling to pay more, he lost Lowry for nothing. Now if he wants to trade back, he needs to pay a certain price.

"No, Lowry is the Knicks' starting point guard, and Beverly is also an important defensive player on the team's bench. The Knicks will not trade them."

Walsh is not stupid. If the two of them are traded, there will be a certain risk in defending the title. This is not a question of whether there are enough chips, but the team's chemical reaction will be destroyed.

Lowry is the team's starting point guard and the team's rhythm controller. If he changes suddenly now, the risk is too great. Once he agrees to the trade and the team fails to complete the defense, his career with the Knicks will come to an end.

If players like Kidd or Nash are used, he will still think about it, and others will forget it.

"Lowry has fallen out of the starting lineup now, and Beverly's playing time is also being compressed. Why should he keep it?"

Mogou tried again. He wanted to see Walsh's bottom line. If the other party let go, he would negotiate a deal with these two people. If he didn't let go, he would change the target.

"No, no, we are preparing for the playoffs and even the finals. Last season, Mr. Tony was injured suddenly, causing the team to lose two games.

Now to make up for this problem, you have to know that every game in the finals is very important, and we must make more responses. "

Walsh babbled primly.

On the one hand, this is to avoid player injuries, and on the other hand, it is to experiment with multiple lineups in order to deal with problems that occur in the playoffs.

In the defending season, the regular season record is not that important to the Knicks. Relatively speaking, health and training players' abilities are more important.

"Okay, we asked to trade Thomas, and at the same time, Mosaic will eat your rubbish contract Brian Cook, how about it, is it sincere?"

Mo Gou looked like you took advantage of it, and Mosaic looked like he was taken advantage of.

"Trading Thomas? Absolutely impossible. There is still no problem in trading Cook, just any second-round pick."

Walsh has long wanted to trade Cook out, so that he can free up a roster, and then he can sign a substitute player in the next time, so that the team lineup will be more flexible.

"Damn it, what's the use of Cook we want him?" Mo Gou was also angry, this is definitely a bully.

"That" Walsh just wanted to refuse.

"Walsh, let's listen to the mosaic chips. How about we exchange Thabeet for Thomas + Cook?" Mogou said with a smile, feeling that the transaction is definitely possible.

"Get out, get out of here." Walsh hung up the phone angrily.

After winning the Hornets and Magic at home, the Knicks lost to the Cavaliers in an away game, which surprised the fans. This is the Cavaliers without James, and the defending champion lost.

This kind of upset is not the first time in the NBA. It is like this every season. The team rushing to the No. [-] pick can always win a game or two against the top three teams in the league.

After losing this game, the Knicks' record came to a record of 13 wins and 4 losses. In a quarter of the season, the Knicks' record fell to second place in the Eastern Conference.

"Irving, is your extraordinary performance today because your opponent is Thomas?" The reporter is also making trouble, the Knicks are upset, it was originally a big news, and now they are going to make trouble.

"Well, in fact, my most important opponent has always been Lee. In the Knicks, only Lee is worthy of being my opponent."

This guy also has a way of pretending to be beeping, and he is definitely pushing himself to the top.

Good guy, I just ignored the others when I came up. When the reporter heard this, he knew that the next time the Cavaliers met the Knicks, they didn't know how tragic it would be. Anyway, they definitely wouldn't be able to live well.

Hearing Irving's words, the Knicks' locker room seemed less calm.

"This guy is too crazy. In the next match, I must let him know the consequences of being bitten by a mad dog." Beverly said loudly.

Irving's words have established him as one of the most powerful enemies, which is the current Knicks.

After the game, the media also exaggerated.

"The new No. [-] pick, ignore the entire Knicks team!"

"Irving only has Lee in his eyes, leading the team to upset the Knicks!"

"The No. 1 pick is inflated, and I only see No.[-] in active service."

Regarding Owen's words, there are even more mixed opinions. Some think it is only blood, and some think it is an act of ignorance.

The most important point is that the battle between Thomas and Irving for the best rookie has completely fallen into a disadvantage.

"Mr. Walsh, I think the Knicks urgently need a deal."

Seeing the Knicks' upset loss to the Cavaliers and Thomas' poor performance in this game, many general managers of the team sensed an opportunity and they chose to seek a deal at this time.

"Hello, Angie, if there is anything, just say it quickly, the team has problems now, and we need to adjust urgently."

Walsh showed great anxiety.

Angie looked happy, as long as you are in a hurry, the green army will have a chance.

"Then I won't go around the corner. The Celtics hope to get Thomas from the Knicks. I don't know what kind of chips they need to pay?"

Angie went straight to the point. For the deals he wants to make, he often hides them in secret, but the effect is not good. After all, the two general managers in the entire league are the most wary of them, Angie and Riley. The Big Three feel terrible when they think about it.

"Trading Thomas, impossible, absolutely impossible, the Knicks will not trade him, he is the future of the Knicks."

Walsh hastily refused.

"Okay, buddy, I already know from Mogou that you plan to trade Thomas, and the Celtics are willing to send Bradley to trade Thomas. Are you sincere?"

Angie said.

"Damn it, you are robbing. Bradley is not worthy of Thomas at all. The chips must be increased." Walsh did not refuse, and he also knew that Thomas was an unstable player in the Knicks locker room. Bomb, he doesn't know when this guy will explode suddenly, affecting the stability of the locker room, it's better to let him go early.

"Plus a second-round pick for next season, shouldn't this be full of sincerity?" Angie said again.

"No, Thomas is definitely a lottery player. He is already a player who has been proven in the game. Now it is absolutely impossible to trade Thomas with a second-round pick."

"Then what chips do you need?" Angie is not in a hurry, as long as they can talk, then everything is not a problem.

"The first round, the future first round pick!" Walsh not only wanted the first round, but also the first round of next season, he wanted the first round in the future.

"Damn it, there are too many uncertainties in the future. The Celtics will never agree. It can only be the first round of next season. Don't even think about the first round in the future."

How could Angie, an old fox, agree to the first round in the future? Who knows if the Big Three of the Celtics will still exist next season.

"Well, we need to think about it."

After finishing speaking, he hung up the phone and called Mogou. "Mogou, it is not impossible to trade Thomas, but the bargaining chip needs to be raised."

"Say, what bargaining chip do you need?" Mo Gou looked a little excited, and finally he could add some offensive firepower to the substitute lineup.

"This year's second-round pick Parsons + next year's first-round pick." Walsh will not relent in the slightest.

"Impossible, at most it will be the second round of next season." Mogou knows that Mosaic has a poor record this season, which is a lottery pick, and now that Parsons has good statistics and is handsome, the effect of selling tickets will definitely be better than Thomas is better.

He wouldn't gamble on the future to replace Thomas, who had played well in only a dozen games, and he would definitely be killed by the boss.

"No, no, it must be the first round. You have to know that Thomas has the strength to compete for the best rookie." Walsh is still boasting.

"It's impossible to help you eat Cook's rubbish contract at most. Don't even think about asking for more bargaining chips." Mogou hung up the phone. At this time, he just wanted to wait. When Walsh couldn't wait any longer, he would talk to him. connect.

"Li, several teams have already contacted us, but the only ones with the best chips are Mosaic and the Celtics."

Walsh approached D'Antoni and Li Tian to talk about trading Thomas.

"Great, finally able to trade this guy out." D'Antoni was in a good mood, it was too difficult, finally traded this guy out, he can relax.

"Haha, let's talk about their chips."

Every team will make a trade. Whether it can be done or not depends on whether there are enough chips. If there are enough chips, even Kobe will be traded away. Of course, he has the right of veto, so this is simply impossible.

"The Green Army's bargaining chip is their first-round pick Bradley last year + next year's first-round pick, we send Thomas + Cook; Mosaic's bargaining chip is today's second-round pick Parsons + next year's second-round pick, we send Thomas And Cook, at the same time Mosaic will give a cash of 100 million."

After Walsh finished talking about the double-serve chips, he didn't say any more. The next step was D'Antoni and Li Tian discussing which one is better to choose.

"Li, which one do you think is better?" Li Tian asked, but he looked at Walsh, pointing at the bargaining chip he hoped for.

"Then it's decided, just choose this."

"Finally get out of here." Several people looked at each other and smiled.

"I'm sure, then I'll contact them now, and then trade with these chips to see if I can squeeze out a little more chips. If I can get a little more chips, it's a profit."

Walsh looked like a profiteer.
