Chapter 98 Three Busy Days

three days ago.

When Stoudemire said that trade me, Steve Kerr was too busy.

He was on the phone almost day and night.

There is no way, he doesn't know if Stoudemire will suddenly explode after waiting for a long time, and use the media to force the palace... If the gang of other teams find out that he was forced by Stoudemire, then the value of the chips he can exchange for Stoudemire will really not be high.

They are all masters who like to take advantage of the fire these days!
Fortunately, Stoudemire did not force the palace directly through the media.

Speaking of which, this was the only reason he could use to comfort himself that at least the situation was not the worst.

Because of the need to race against time, when Steve Kerr chooses a trading partner, he does not first think about what he can exchange for Stoudemire, but who is more likely to be fooled under such circumstances.

There are four names written on Steve Kerr's paper...

The first one is Joe Dumars, the general manager of the Pistons. After trading Chauncey Billups, this guy seems to be like a headless chicken. This is a relatively easy target to fool.

So Steve Kerr's first phone call was to the latter.

What Steve Kerr originally thought was to trade Stoudemire for "Little Prince" Prince and two first-round picks.

It's just that Joe Dumars was not willing to send Prince, only willing to give Rasheed Wallace and two role players... Steve Kerr hung up the phone directly.

Rasheed Wallace? ? ?

This is the bargaining chip that people can give?
The second call, Steve Kerr, was to the 76ers general manager.

Sending away Allen Iverson and righting "Little Al" Iguodala failed to put this team on the right track. This is also a team that urgently needs to be changed.

It's a pity that the other party is not very interested in Stoudemire.

hit a wall again...

But Steve Kerr didn't have time to clean up his mood. In the afternoon, he sorted out the information and called the third general manager, the general manager of the Grizzlies.

For the Grizzlies, Steve Kerr's goal is Rudy Gay or OJ Mayo, plus two picks.

It's a pity that Chris Wallace is also generous to his old club, the Lakers, but he is really not generous to the general managers of other teams. These two people don't want to give either of them. In addition, they are only willing to give one draft pick, which is not this year!

This is so...

Steve Kerr almost swears directly.

After hanging up, Steve Kerr reassessed Amare Stoudemire's value before making one final call -- to Nets general manager Billy King.

There is no other reason why Steve Kerr put him last, it is because Kerr thinks this guy is the most deceitful among the general managers of the 30 teams in the league!
Chris Wallace and McHale of the Timberwolves sent Gasol and Garnett to the Lakers and Celtics respectively, but there is human sophistication in it, not that they have no brains to give warmth to these two teams.

But Billy King is different. This is the real "NBA Hua Tuo", who is very good at "helping the world and saving people".

"Dude, I need your No. 6 pick in the first round..."

"It's not easy to change, you know, the quality of this year's rookies is not as bad as we thought, we..."

"I'm giving away Amare Stoudemire..."

"OK, buddy, everything is negotiable, let's learn more about our respective needs!"

Sure enough, upon hearing the name of Amare Stoudemire, Steve Kerr could feel the guy trembling, obviously very interested in Stoudemire.

Or very interested in the stars.

There's no way, New Jersey really... Seriously, dogs don't want to stay.

Steve Kerr, who had already learned about the Nets lineup, did not hesitate at all, and directly reported the chips he wanted: Chris Humphries, Ryan Anderson, Bobby Simmons, and a first-round pick for this year and a first-round pick for the following year.

The reason for not asking for next year's first-round pick is because the NBA expressly stipulates that no team can get the first-round pick for two consecutive years in one transaction.

Steve Kerr asked for this year's, so naturally he can't ask for next year's.

Cole asked for a lot. Of course, this was just what he asked for. Billy King can bargain... A transaction is similar to a transaction.

"Man, I can only give one to Ryan Anderson and Chris Humphries, and I can't give it to Bobby Simmons... As for the draft pick... I can accept two first-round picks, but you have to get a second-round pick this year!" After thinking briefly, Billy King gave a price he could accept.

Steve Kerr checked the Nets chips he really wanted, and nodded in agreement: "No problem!"

In fact, Billy King didn't want to give Bobby Simmons, and Cole didn't want it at all. He already had Grant Hill, and he was also a small forward substitute. In comparison, isn't Grant better?

As for Ryan Anderson, Steve Kerr doesn't want it. The projection-type fourth position is useless for the Suns in the new season except for taking up Lin Ri's "development" time. What is he going to do?

What he really wants is Humphries. Stoudemire is gone. He must introduce another center, or else just a rookie last year, Robin Lopez, will definitely not be enough.

Of course, the Suns still have O'Neal now... It's just that when Cole decided to choose Lin Day, O'Neal was destined to only stay in Phoenix for one season. Fortunately, he played very well this season, which made his market much better than the same period last year.

In short, Humphries and the No. [-] pick in the first round are the only things Steve Kerr wants from the Nets' so many chips.

Not to mention getting these two chips now, but also earning another first-round pick in 2011 for nothing, for Steve Kerr, it is really enough.

After all, time waits for no one. Billy King is the only person he can fool with success now...

But there is still a problem. Stoudemire's annual salary this year is as high as 1645 million. The Nets can't balance this deal with only one Humphries and two first-round picks.

When Steve Kerr thought of this question, he was really bitter... Could it be that he really had to eat a few garbage contracts?
The salary situation of the Suns next season is not optimistic. Although O'Neal has good statistics, his contract price is a bit high. At the beginning, Patley used a 5-year 1 million contract to keep him in the Heat. His total salary this season is as high as more than 2 million.

Compared with his age and his data this year, this salary is a premium contract no matter how you look at it.

This has led to the fact that even if Steve Kerr can trade O'Neal, he may be exchanged for a premium contract. Under such circumstances, Steve Kerr really doesn't want to eat any more junk contracts!
But the problem is, if you don't trade with Billy King, then Steve Kerr will have to trade with those guys. It is estimated that he will not be able to get such a bargaining chip from the Nets.

Cole is caught in a dilemma.

At this time, Billy King showed his "value", and I don't know if he really wants Stoudemire, or he doesn't want to lose the contract he has already negotiated. In short, when Cole didn't know what to do, Billy King sent a "heart-warming blow": Dude, I also have a deal with the Magic, involving Vince Carter.

Listen!

Listen!

Is there a general manager who is more considerate of the transaction side than Billy King?

there is none left!
Absolutely not anymore!
This guy is the most warm-hearted NBA general manager!

You, are you an angel?
For the first time in his life, Steve Kerr felt the urge to kiss a man.

Billy King scratched his head: Hehe, it's embarrassing to be praised so much.

In short, the two-party transaction has become a three-party transaction. In addition to continuing to get Chris Humphries and two draft picks, Steve Kerr can also get a young player from the Magic, which seems to be Courtney Lee, but this is not important to Steve Kerr anymore...

The important thing is that Chris Humphries still has two draft picks!

In particular, the Nets' first-round pick this year is still the sixth in the first round.

Steve Kerr gave up Stephen Curry for Lin Day. Now, with this pick, he used it to choose Stephen Curry without hesitation.

Of course, he protected the news very well, including Billy King, an angel, did not say who he was going to choose, until 15 minutes before the draft, he just notified Billy King, let them use the sixth pick in the first round to choose Stephen Curry.

No way, he was really afraid that after the Nets knew who he was going to choose, they would try out Stephen Curry with curious ideas.

After all, in the eyes of the Nets, Steve Kerr took out Amare Stoudemire for the sixth pick in the first round.

In that case, maybe they will be interested in Stephen Curry...then reject the deal and choose Stephen Curry himself.

Such a situation is not unheard of.

Steve Kerr didn't want to take any chances.

……

"It's done!"

Steve Kerr looked at Stephen Curry, who was wearing a Nets cap and took a photo with David Stern on the stage, recalling the three-day race against time, and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

At the same time, he felt a little dreamy. He didn't expect that he would really select Stephen Curry and Lin Ri into the team this year!
I'm going to have to build it up this summer!

And thinking about the new aid Chris Humphries and Courtney Lee who are about to join the Suns, Steve Colton feels motivated.

On the field, the draft continues.

The guys that Lin Ri was familiar with were picked out one after another. Terrence Williams of the Louisville Cardinals was finally selected at the 17th pick in the first round; Thabeet was selected at the 19th pick in the first round, and he was selected by the Cavaliers, who had been blown out of the interior this year; Earl Clark, who was a talented [-]th pick and skilled at dribbling, was selected at the [-]th pick in the first round;

Seeing that Jeff was selected, James Harden, Lin Ri and Sandek in front of the TV all smiled happily for him.

The list of 09 first-round rookies in 30 is here!
