1000. The Wild West Prologue in History (1st Guaranteed Monthly Pass)
"Jerry, are we really going to send Kawhi away? His talent..."
"Kawhi is very talented, but his progress is too slow and cannot keep up with Stephen's progress. Believe me, Harden is equally talented and improves faster. Don't you see? The Thunder don't care about Harden.
Harden can already win the Sixth Man of the Year Award. We focus on cultivating Kawhi. Can he average 18 points per game in three years?"
"But we still have to send Monta away!"
"Isn't that what we planned from the beginning? If the Thunder goes out first, they will trade Kawhi for Harden. If the Grizzlies go out first, they will trade Kawhi for George. Monta's outbreak was also expected by me. Maybe Mark
I like him very much, but he and Steph are not very compatible, and Harden, we have studied the cooperation between him and Durant many times, and it is better than Westbrook."
"Are you saying that Monta's outburst was planned by you?"
"Yes, it was planned from the beginning. Our deal with the Bucks will not succeed 100%. They just want to get rid of Bogut's big contract. Bogut is very good for us, but we already have haha."
Shim, his mobility and defensive effect at the basket are no worse than Bogut. As for physical strength, we don't need to have a big center in the whole game. We can play like the Spurs.
So I deliberately spread the news that I was going to trade with the Bucks, and the offer I made to the Bucks was for Ilyasova, which they couldn't possibly give.
Without Monta, who played so well after the All-Star break and led us to ninth place, even if the Thunder didn't despise Harden and we only traded for Kawhi, I think they would just hang up on us unless we added
Up to Hashem.
Or we keep Kawhi and trade Monta and Hashim."
"..." Pete Guber, the Warriors' boss in charge of player operations, was so nervous that he couldn't help but roll his eyes at Jerry West's last words: "Jerry, we finally got Hashim
To develop him into a qualified defensive pillar, it is impossible to trade him."
After pausing for a while, Peter Guber continued: "I know that the increase in Monta's transaction value is a probabilistic situation. He was already in negative equity before the All-Star weekend, but I still can't bear to part with it, but Harden really
So good?"
"He is a perfect cornerstone player. He is as talented as Lord! Also, he has a very good relationship with Lord. I just received the news that Harden was crying in the lounge. The first call he made was not to
Durant, call Noah on the phone instead." As he spoke, Jerry West raised his eyebrows and folded his forehead into three layers. His proud look seemed to be showing off his intelligence network.
"Alas..." Peter Guber sighed: "How long have you been planning this transaction?"
"I've been planning this since we didn't draft Thompson." Jerry West didn't continue to hide it.
"That is to say, it is also your plan to train Kawhi and let Kawhi show his defensive talents?"
"Of course, we can't lose again this time. We not only want to get a talent with the talent to become one of the five best players in the league, but we also want to use this to erase the stain that we sent away the lords and let those free agents and more
A good head coach knows that we can make good moves, and this time, we can't lose!" Jerry West's last sentence once again emphasized the importance of this deal.
Pete Guber heard Jerry West's unwillingness to lose Sun Ce and Klay Thompson, and understood that this transaction was imperative, otherwise he would lose this team-building master who was comparable to the Cardinals.
.
However, Pete Guber also heard another thing that Jerry West may have revealed accidentally or intentionally, but he did not point it out, but pretended to think deeply for a while.
After a while, Pete Guber said: "I believe you, Jerry, I just feel sad for Monta. You know, he has always been my favorite player. If he can go to the Thunder to compete for the championship, I
I’m happy for him too.”
"Of course, I was originally planning to send him to the Thunder to compete for the championship. It will take us one or two years to have championship strength, so we can't waste time by letting him accompany us." Jerry West responded.
Pete Guber sent the previously written trade draft to Thunder general manager Presti. At this moment, the verbal agreement was reached.
After showing Jerry West the picture of the email being sent successfully, Pete Guber got up and took out a bottle of champagne from the closet, poured two glasses, and handed one glass to Jerry West.
The two stood up and understood each other tacitly. Peter Guber said: "Cheers to our championship dream!"
"cheers!"

At 7 pm on May 26, 2012, Google Sports columnist Woj broke the news on Twitter that the Thunder and the Warriors reached a verbal agreement, and the Thunder will acquire Monta Ellis and Kawhi Leonard from the Warriors.
, the chips given away are James Harden and a draft pick, and the Thunder will form the perimeter trio with the strongest scoring ability in the league.
At the same time, woj also gave his prediction. Currently, the Thunder have only more than 2 million yuan left for new promotions. However, Muhammad’s contract expires this summer, and the Thunder will give up Muhammad’s bird rights when the deal is concluded; before
The more than 4 million space occupied by Nate Robinson will also be freed up by directly cutting Nate Robinson without using the amnesty clause; Fisher and Daequan Cook may not get contract extensions; plus Harden is the No. 3 pick in his third year this season.
With a salary of US$4.6 million, the Thunder can easily free up the salary space to absorb Monta Ellis's salary of US$11 million and Leonard's salary of US$2.13 million before the trade window opens at the end of the Finals to complete the transaction.
At the same time, Sports Illustrated broke the news that the Thunder only gave Harden a five-year, $40 million contract extension and gave Harden one hour to think about it. The reason was that they did not want to pay the luxury tax. Harden was trying to get an annual salary of tens of millions, which was more than 10 million per year.
Two million, but was rejected outright, and the consideration time was shortened to 30 minutes. Then Harden went back to the arena's lounge alone and cried bitterly.
ABC TV station immediately broke the news that the Warriors management regretted having wanted to trade Monta Ellis to the Bucks for Ilyasova. They blamed themselves for not using Eliasova, who had accompanied the team through many years of troughs.
Stan has a bargaining chip and now hopes to send Ellis to a championship contending team like the Thunder so that Ellis can compete for the championship at his peak.

Thinking that Harden had been crying for several minutes without being able to speak clearly, Sun Ce was dumbfounded when he saw the news that suddenly flooded the screen.
James had just scored 47 points, 11 rebounds, 10 assists, 2 blocks and 5 steals in a single game at Madison Square Garden. After leading the Heat to a 109-91 victory over the Knicks, the news that James had a 47+ triple-double hadn't been popular for long.
The verbal trade agreement between the Warriors and Thunder has gone viral.
Of course, it also has something to do with the fact that the Thunder actually traded Harden. Harden’s talent, which he can develop on his own regardless of whether his father loves his mother or not, is actually willing to be traded by a team!
Moreover, Harden had almost locked up the best Sixth Man Award before the All-Star Weekend. The media went to stir up trouble and asked Harden whether he was satisfied with his status as a substitute and whether he had any complaints about the coaching staff not paying attention to him. They stirred up a lot of trouble.
Every time, Harden smiled and expressed that he liked his current role and hoped to renew his contract in advance.
How could such a player be traded?
Maybe in terms of the season that just ended, Ellis is much better than Harden, but Westbrook and Durant are not that old. They are both only 23 years old, so there is no problem in waiting a year or two.
So when the media hyped up this matter, it quickly became the hottest topic at the moment. James' 47+ triple-double was not only drowned out, but also the Lakers and Spurs were robbed of all their limelight.
Sun Ce looked at the news that the major media outlets had focused their attention on in just half an hour. It was only because no one was behind it!
This completely blocked the way for the Thunder to regret it, and it was revealed that Harden was crying.
Even if the management of the Thunder team suddenly becomes enlightened and regrets tearing up the verbal agreement, there is no way to regret it. This wave of public opinion bombardment will directly put the deal into effect!
Sun Ce knew without guessing that this pusher must be the logo guy!
Sun Ce suddenly remembered some confusion he had about the Warriors before. Why did Ellis encounter something like that? It turned out to be to increase the transaction value!
Ellis, who plays in a strong team, is not a cancer except for his poor defense. The two seasons of 2006-08 can prove that Ellis can play very well in a strong team. After all, he is a Mamba player and has strength.
Curry + Harden…
"Didn't Chanima's logo guy just steal your little brother Clay? He actually made the situation so messy!"
Sun Ce cursed and then couldn't help laughing.
This NBA is so interesting!
What kind of sparks will Ellis and Dewey create? What kind of performance will Harden and Curry perform?
Although Sun Ce was shocked by all this, it was so interesting!
Now that the NBA is so crazy, the Lakers, Mavericks and Bulls will probably still be there next season in the Western Conference. Now the Thunder may become very strange. The second-year Leonard is probably not strong in the second defense. Originally, in the second year of the Spurs, he was not
It's still far from the second defense, but he is definitely a very good perimeter single defense player.
Sun Ce remembers that Kevin Martin originally went to the Thunder, and Ellis was better than Kevin Martin no matter what.
And from the very beginning, Sun Ce felt that the Warriors could not suppress their rise. After all, they had a logo man, and there were so many NBA geniuses, so there were plenty of opportunities to operate.
These two teams may be stronger and pose a threat to the Grizzlies, but Sun Ce then thought about it and realized that they are not the only ones who are threatened. The Lakers, Marriotts and Bulls may also encounter these two teams in the playoffs.
Thinking about it this way, Sun Ce was happy to see such a situation happen.
Let the NBA become more chaotic! Let the West become more wild!
As for meeting these two teams in the playoffs... then let's meet them! Sun Ce was already very interested in playing against them, and now he is even more excited!
