Legend Raiders

Chapter 1136 Celtic Supermarket
In a small conference room.

Danny Angie and his team now have a little excitement on their faces, and some people even couldn't help shaking their fists fiercely!
The time they chose was very critical, and it happened to be four or five days after Durant and the Thunder just finished negotiating whether to renew their contract, and gave them an ultimatum!

Again.

They don't have to get Durant, the lineup itself is very good.

Besides, the other team got reinforcements, didn't they get it?
The joining of David West and Amir Johnson instantly made the Celtics' inside line, from starting to substitute, really very powerful!
By the time.

Coupled with a vote of outside players, the inside line is impenetrable, and the outside line has great opportunities?

this summer.

As long as Stevens is not stupid, he will recommend perimeter players to practice shooting.

They have tasted the sweetness and will definitely dig deeper into the potential.

in this way.

They can be said to have taken the advantage and initiative in the transaction.

Coupled with the fact that Durant's team didn't mention the contract renewal at all, the current pressure on the Thunder, even a rookie in the industry, knows how difficult it is.

But that's just Durant's problem. Everyone else is at least here. Those who should renew their contracts have completed their contracts, and the team lineup is still complete.

but.

Just like Sam Presti's last paradoxical reminder.

They mean that anyone in the team can be a bargaining chip except for Qin Tao, but they just didn't add any draft picks.

honestly.

This is Danny Angie on purpose!
Compared with players, draft picks are really full of endless imagination.

You don't know whether you will get a treasure, let alone whether you will choose a star with a mere second-round pick!
And the Thunder started the deal, so naturally they won't let go of the draft pick.

Moreover, the draft picks in the hands of the Celtics are very jealous for any team.

At this time, once the Thunder wants to send Durant to Boston, they will definitely want one less pick!
and so.

Danny Ainge and his team, the most important thing right now, one is to immediately start evaluating the future rookies this year, and the other is to give a few less important draft picks symbolically, waiting to bargain with the Thunder.

As for the good news, with the operation of the team, Danny Angie informed Qin Tao as soon as possible like an employee reporting to the boss.

Qin Tao's laughter immediately rang out on the phone, and he looked very excited about the news!

It doesn't matter if you're not excited.

Originally thought that this deal would fall through, who would have thought that it would officially open in the end.

Even if the transaction is not completed, this is great news.

Next, let's see how Danny Ainge and the others work.

After the deal officially began to operate, Sam Presti also immediately called his team.

And he informed the boss of the news as soon as possible, and when he turned around, he was scolded.

but.

Sam Presti didn't speak.

this time.

After telling the boss about the possible choices, there is no need to explain anything.

Durant's situation can be said to be their biggest worry, and now the dust has settled, and the boss is more concerned with venting his unwillingness and depression when deciding what to do.

For a while.

When the Thunder boss's voice sounded like he was several years older, Sam Presti was immediately in high spirits!

Since you can't keep it, just like the boss said, drain the Celtics hard!
Can't a superstar get everything he wants?
The boss specifically explained it!
Not only do they have to expire their contracts, but they also have a lot of high-quality rookies and draft picks!
hang up the phone.

Sam Presti basically knew how to do it.

He took a deep breath, and immediately opened the drawer, took out a folder, opened it and analyzed it seriously.

This is a profile of Celtic players.

Maybe since the Celtics proposed to trade Durant, he has already started to prepare in advance.

then.

His eyes swept over the names of all the players, and then began to scroll through their evaluation data.

Needless to say, Qin Tao, Sam Presti never thought of getting him.

After all, Qin Tao is the foundation of the Celtics, I am afraid that the two Durants and Danny Ainge will not let go!

It's not that I'm flattering Durant, it's just that Qin Tao is too special.

immediately.

Presti's eyes stopped on Olynik.

At this stage.

The Thunder's inside line, with Ennes Kanter and Serge Ibaka, and Steven Adams and Nazr Mohamed on the bench, find another inside line. crowded!
But fortunately, Nazr Mohammad is old, and he is destined not to get too much playing time next season.

As long as they get Olynik, their inside lineup will become very flexible and competitive!
Starting with Kanter and Ibaka, they both attack and defend, and they complement each other perfectly.

bench.

Steven Adams has proven his worth. With him on the inside, Olynyk's mobility is also very good to cooperate with him.

By the time.

Their inside strength can only increase instead of decline, and considering Olynik's training in the Celtics, he is already different from ordinary rookies!

Especially his outside shooting ability.

As long as it is used flexibly, it will be a heavy artillery for the Thunder!
Take it!

Without hesitation, Sam Presti put a checkmark on Olynyk's name.

then.

Without even thinking about it, he ticked off Evan Turner's name.

Although this guy's performance this season is much lower-key than others, his personal ability is still good, and there is only one year left in his contract.

Most importantly, after the Thunder left Durant, they could only use Kyle Singler and second-year student Andre Robertson at the small forward position!

The tasks of the two of them in the Thunder team are basically defensive. After Evan Turner gets it, at least they can guarantee that this position is not so weak.

then.

When Presti saw Gerald Wallace's name, he tagged it.

His expiring contract of tens of millions is quite attractive to the Thunder.

When the annual salary space soars, not only can they immediately release tens of millions of annual salary, but if necessary, they can also sign him back with a veteran's basic salary.

So getting Gerald Wallace is a kill two birds with one stone. Besides, the veteran's defense and impact have declined a bit so far, but it's not that exaggerated, and it's still worth using.

After solving the two players, there will be a salary match of almost 1000 million to 300 million.

then.

After seeing Zach Laven's name, Presti also took it smoothly.

Then there's this year's rookie, Terry Rochell.

finally.

Presti has his sights set on the names Jared Sullinger and Avery Bradley.

One of them is gradually reduced to a marginal substitute, but the strength and talent are still inside, and the other is a defensive champion on the back line!
