Chapter 212 The game with Cuban
Chapter 206

The reason why Lei Feng cares so much about the star card is not only that it can quickly improve his strength, but also because of his collection addiction!
Seeing more and more different star cards in his hands, Lei Feng naturally felt a sense of accomplishment.

Not only Lei Feng, but many people have such a habit. When Lei Feng was in China, he had a rich friend who played an NBA game. In the end, this game was completely completed as a card game. The cards are all in the bag...

Of course, to be able to complete the battle game as a card game still requires strong financial strength. At least as far as Lei Feng knows, the local rich brothers have spent tens of thousands just to play this game...

As for the star cards that Lei Feng has collected now, not only do you not need to spend a dime, but the value is much higher than the star cards in the game, it is really cool...

When Lei Feng heard that he had the opportunity to get his own exclusive star card, one can imagine the excitement in his heart!
"Alfred, what should I do to get my own exclusive star card?!" Lei Feng asked eagerly.

"It's useless for you to worry about this matter, just wait slowly, don't you know that I don't know much about the star card?"

Lei Feng slapped his head, but he forgot this time, Alfred doesn't know much about star cards!

"You don't need to worry about recycling now. Let's talk about it after the card pack is full. Those junior star cards may not be really useless, they may still be useful at a certain moment!" Alfred said to Said Lei Feng.

Lei Feng nodded, and he had no intention of recycling the star card in a hurry.

The most urgent thing right now is actually to quickly get the suit of the Four Heroes of the Wind and Dust!

After returning to New York, Lei Feng immediately devoted himself to the preparations for the next home game!
In addition to Lei Feng, the Knicks executives can't be idle at the moment. They must supplement the firepower of the Knicks' front line as much as possible within one or two months!

Fortunately, the Knicks still have a lot of salary space in their hands. If they sign up, it is definitely more than enough!

But unfortunately, at this moment, the season has already started for a month, and there is no way to move forward. There is no need to think about free agents. If you want to strengthen, there is only one way, that is, trade...

To trade, you need chips. The Knicks are really poor right now, and they don't have any decent chips in their hands!

Inside Zen Master Jackson's office.

"How did the opposing team respond to the list I made yesterday?" Zen Master rubbed his temples and asked some senior team leaders in front of him.

As a genius who has been in the league all his life, when Zen Master knew that Anthony would be injured for nearly two months, he directly called the team management to study what to do next!
Don't look at the relationship between Zen Master and Anthony, but he is very aware of Anthony's strength, and even more aware of what Anthony's absence means to a team like them!
Therefore, he must make up for the possible losses caused by Anthony's absence through signings in the shortest possible time!
Yesterday morning, Zen Master Zhong held an emergency meeting at 07:30 in the morning, which was the early morning of the second day after the Knicks ended their road trip!

In this emergency meeting, Zen master took out a list, which was exactly the list of players he came up with after a night of hard thinking. From this list, he could find one at random, and he could make up for the loss of Anthony's absence as much as possible!
Chandler Parsons of the Mavericks, DeMarre Carroll of the Raptors this season who was still in the Eagles last season, Ariza of the Rockets, Gerald Green and even Zhang Tielin of the Spurs...

It can be seen from this list that Zen Master is still self-aware of the situation of the Knicks, and he did not go crazy to seek and trade those All-Star players. In his list, all the players are role players. !

To make up for the loss of Anthony's absence, then Durant or Leonard can solve the problem properly, but the key is that this possibility is infinitely close to zero...

And these players on the list at least have some chances, although since the Knicks don't have a decent bargaining chip in their hands, the chances are not great!

One day passed, and the Zen master couldn't wait to summon his subordinates to see if there was any harvest from the big net he cast.

"Phil, the Mavericks have an answer. Chandler can be put on the shelf for trading, but they want Porzingis!"

"Damn it! Impossible. Although Chandler is good, it is absolutely impossible to be worth a Porzingis. Damn it!" Hearing the offer from the Mavericks, the Zen master suddenly became furious. In his opinion, the Mavericks are definitely taking advantage of the fire. !

"Cuban is a cunning businessman! Besides Porzingis, can they change their chips?!" Zen Master Jackson scolded Cuban viciously...

In the view of Zen Master Jackson, don’t look at how Cuban has been clamoring that the team will never rebuild in the past two seasons, but Zen Master feels that Cuban is just talking, he has been thinking about rebuilding... …

And obviously Chandler Parsons is not included in Cuban's reconstruction plan. The salary cap of the league will rise sharply next year, and the salaries of players will naturally rise accordingly. Not much, next year is a player option, and now Chandler is already showing signs of getting out of the contract, and is going to earn a maximum salary next season!
But Cuban felt that it was a bit of a loss to give a player like Chandler a maximum salary. You must know that Chandler was basically reimbursed last season. Giving him a maximum salary would be too risky!
Zen master Jackson directly guessed the reason why Cuban was willing to put Chandler on the shelf!

"I haven't said it yet, I just said I want Porzingis..."

"Okay, what about the other teams? What does the Rockets say?" Zen Master continued to ask after pondering for a moment.

"There is no intention in this regard..."

"What about the Spurs?"

"No, the Spurs management said that if we are willing to take out Lei Feng, they are willing to exchange Duncan and Danny Green..."

Zen master almost spit out a mouthful of old blood!
"Shameless! Shameless Spurs! Duncan came for a change? He announced his retirement the next day after the change?!"

"These damned guys are obviously entertaining us! Idiots know that Duncan will retire after this season. Do you want Duncan to make another wave of crazy money before he retires?"

……

The meeting went on for a long time, and Zen Master was at a loss. Now that Anthony is injured, every team knows the situation of the Knicks, and they all try to take advantage of the situation. The Raptors even brazenly want to trade Carroll and Teague with picks. Lei Feng, almost pissed Zen Master to death...

Qi returns to Qi, but Zen Master also knows that he can't mess up his position right now, signings must be signed, and it must be done as soon as possible, otherwise, if Anthony is back, then the signings are unnecessary!
"Let me contact Cuban myself. I feel that Cuban must have a second trading plan. It is impossible for him to see Chandler jump out of the contract in vain. He will get nothing. He will definitely think about it as much as possible. Extract the value of Chandler!" Zen master said to the crowd.

Judging from the current situation, Chandler Parsons will undoubtedly be the best choice for the Knicks, because after all, the Knicks are just looking for a transitional player right now, and just want to spend the two months when Anthony is absent. ...

The player who doesn't need signings has to stay with the Knicks next season...

And Chandler Parsons, the combo forward, is undoubtedly a better choice. Since he is about to jump out of the contract, the transaction value will not be too great, and the Knicks are very suitable for it!
In the afternoon, Zen master Jackson directly dialed Cuban's phone. Although the current general manager of the Mavericks is Nelson Jr., the son of the mad scientist Nelson, the Zen master did not directly contact Nelson Jr. In his opinion, this matter It is more reliable to go directly to Cuban!
Cuban is different from Dolan. Dolan rarely participates in the team's lineup construction, while Cuban plays in person. Last season, Jordan's contract with the Clippers expired. Cuban went out to recruit Jordan himself. Of course, the result was very unsatisfactory, and he was let go by Little Jordan!
"Phil, haha, I knew you couldn't sit still, tell me, whether Porzingis will be sold or not, I know your boss Dolan will definitely not be willing to sell Leifeng, if he is willing to sell Leifeng, I will For the Dallas Mavericks, except for Dirk, you can choose any player or any draft pick!" After receiving a call from Zen Master Jackson, Cuban laughed loudly, knowing that he had taken the initiative.

"Mark, you know this is impossible. Even if Dolan sold me, he wouldn't sell Lei Feng, so you should stop worrying about Lei Feng!" Zen master Jackson said with a wry smile.

Lei Feng is now a favorite in the eyes of all teams, this is something Zen Master never thought of before!

The former Zen master felt that Lei Feng had potential to be tapped, but he could only become a more reliable starting player, so he killed the contract price. Even if he would rather give Lei Feng a player option, he would definitely not give it to Lei Feng. High price contract!

In his opinion, after Lei Feng finished this season, he would definitely cry and implement the player option, and then continue to renew a contract with the Knicks with a similar amount!
But now it seems that he completely underestimated Lei Feng!
At certain moments, he was also in the midst of deep self-blame. This time he was really mistaken. If he had known that Lei Feng had such potential, he should have given Lei Feng a more attractive job in the first place. A long-term contract, such as an annual salary of tens of millions, in that case, the team can still have more than ten thousand US dollars a year when they can have Lei Feng!

Although Dolan didn't say anything, people like Zen Master Jackson could clearly feel that Dolan was very dissatisfied with Lei Feng's contract...
