NBA: Duncan feels uneasy coaching Warriors

Chapter 215 Three Trading Plans
a few days later.

The season has been over for a while, but the trade market has just begun.

Su Chen basically didn't bother with the free market. Su Chen had been planning the trading market recently.

The first problem he had to solve was Paul.

Paul is an outstanding player, and it has even been rumored that if Paul were ten centimeters taller, it would be enough to change the league.

But the reality is that Paul is not ten centimeters taller, and Paul is actually a player who guarantees the team's lower limit, not raises the team's upper limit.

Paul's organizational skills are indeed very powerful. Under Paul's mobilization, the entire team has a strong ability to guarantee the playoffs.

But Paul always has some very strange ideas and tricks at critical moments.

In short, Su Chen has classified Paul as a bargaining chip. At the same time, Redick, Su Chen doesn't want to put him in the team's disgust. He needs to reshuffle the team's back line.

But no matter what his opinion of Paul, it is undeniable that the Clippers gun is very valuable.

In other words, Paul's entire career is very valuable.

After Su Chen learned about Paul's trade between the Wizards and the Warriors, Paul's former club acquired a total of 25 players through the trade for Paul, including draft picks.

The most famous is the 7-for-1 exchange between the Clippers and the Rockets. One can imagine how valuable Paul is.

Even at the age of 38, Paul can still trade 1 for 5. General managers in the league like Paul very much.

Regarding Paul's trading plan, Suchen gave Mark Hughes three trading plans.

The first plan is to trade with the Cavaliers. At this time, Irving is quite obedient and is at the peak of his skills and has no trouble-making intentions. With Paul's value, not only can Irving be exchanged for Irving, but also some other assets of the Cavaliers.

The Cavaliers will probably agree to this trade, because the Cavaliers are now very eager to get James back to Cleveland.

As for the relationship between Paul and James, James will like this brother very much.

Compared with Irving, who is not familiar with him yet, James will certainly prefer Paul, who is famous in the league and is more familiar to him.

And regarding this deal, Su Chen relied on James's good impression of Paul and planned to rip off James.

That is the No. [-] pick in the hands of the Cavaliers, and they also plan to rob the Cavaliers' other assets.

For example, good role players such as Tristan Thompson and Dellevedova can be added.

In such a robbery situation, it would be difficult for the knight to agree.

But Su Chen didn't really expect the robbery to be successful.

Besides, the No. [-] pick was really given to him, and he still didn't know who to pick.

Suchen did not consider Wiggins, the former No. [-] pick. Although the No. [-] pick won a championship with the team during his Warriors career, Wiggins' Timberwolves career can only be described as terrible.

Su Chen didn't want the team to have an old man carrying a thermos cup shopping around the stadium.

Next is Embiid, who was originally the third overall pick.

But the future MVP's performance in the playoffs is a bit hard to describe.

And the most important thing is that if you choose him, you have to raise him for two seasons first, and it's only the third season that you start your career debut, so Su Chen won't choose him.

As for Jokic, although he is the well-deserved No. 1 in this session.

But why should Jokic, who could have been selected with the second-round pick, be selected with the No. [-] pick?

If you don't select these three people, the remaining players such as Raven Smart, Aaron Gordon and others are not worthy of the No. [-] pick.So if he really gets the No. [-] pick, Su Chen will face the problem of not having a suitable candidate.

The second option is to find the Rockets.

Naturally, the Rockets had to trade for Harden. There are no good guards in this year's draft or free market. And in this era, I don't know why the price of forwards has not gone up, but good guards are very expensive.

Paul's value is high, but if Paul is not needed, he will definitely be used as a defender first.

But it is difficult for the Rockets to agree, because the Rockets have clearly stated that Harden is their cornerstone player.

Paul's value is high, but it's hard to say if he wants to exchange Haki stone.

The third option is to find the Trail Blazers.

Lillard will officially enter his peak next season. For Lillard, it is difficult for you to evaluate what level of player he is.

In terms of leading ability alone, Lillard is a level lower than Paul.

Lillard is a single-core leader who can hit the playoffs, while Paul is a single-core leader who can make a relatively stable playoff run. There is a gap between the two in their leadership capabilities.

But Suchen still feels that Lillard is a more suitable championship puzzle piece than Paul.

Judging from Lillard's data alone, Lillard is a productive and efficient attacker, and his real efficiency value is at the first-tier level in most seasons.

When the team needs to focus on offense, hand the ball to Lillard and he can deliver an efficient answer.

So why is Lillard so powerful in offense but has no results in leading the team?
Because no matter how strong Lillard's offense is, he can't beat Curry's, and it's hard to achieve results when led by a small point guard. In NBA history, Curry is probably the only one who has succeeded as an offensive small point guard.

For an offensive small point guard like Lillard who is a shooting type, it is difficult to guarantee the efficiency at the basket. When the three-point shot cannot be opened, the basket cannot be opened and the entire team will fall into a scoring drought.

Moreover, Lillard's mid-range is a weakness compared to all his offensive weapons.

The efficiency of attacking the frame cannot be guaranteed, and the mid-range shot is also unstable. When the three-pointer is strictly guarded and has no touch, Lillard will be more embarrassed on the court.

To put it bluntly, Lillard's strongest point is his three-point shooting after the pick-and-roll. When the opponent targets Lillard's three-pointer and the basket, Lillard's passing ability is a little better than the average level, but not Passing to an elite point guard.

Passing errors increased sharply under high intensity, and Lillard's defensive end was still below the passing line.

This is why Lillard's ability to lead a team is not as good as Paul's.

Paul's masterful passing, ability to punish big men after the pick-and-roll, and his high-intensity defensive ability can make the team very good.

But Su Chen still wants Lillard and not Paul. With Paul's style or personality, it is difficult to become an honest second-in-command.

Even the older Suns Paul is not so honest to be the second-in-command when faced with the young Booker.

And Lillard doesn't have to be the boss. His pick-and-roll shooting style of three-pointers with the ball can be adapted to many systems, and his ability even without the ball is equally good.

There is only one Curry in this era, so Su Chen naturally doesn't want to build a team with a small guard.

Lillard is still positioned as the second or even third boss.

In addition to Lillard, the Trail Blazers are also very interested in Batum.

On the defensive end, Batum can guard some tall forwards without suffering a loss. When the Timberwolves entered the playoffs and faced the Clippers, Towns beat Zubac so hard that he didn't dare to play. But when Batum was used to guard Towns, he immediately became weak in the Cubs. sugar.

At the same time, Batum also has organizational skills and can occasionally attack the frame, which makes this player valuable in this era.

Besides, who in the league would dislike such a high-quality striker?
