Chapter 939 A Big Deal Is Completed (Part [-])
"We all know, you're a Kobe fan, you grew up watching the Lakers, you're a kid who watched the Lakers dynasty, and now you're about to be a player for another team in Los Angeles. Isn't it weird~?!"

After Paul George was selected by the Clippers with the eighth pick in the first round, he quickly began to accept interviews.

"Haha, to be honest, sometimes God's arrangements are so magical. I support both teams in Los Angeles, but since I have been selected by the Clippers, I have to give up the role of the Lakers. I'm sorry Lakers~!!"

George responded with a smile.

"How do you think about the matchup with Kobe on the court in the future~?!"

The host continued to ask.

"God, that's Kobe. It's a dream come true. It's like I was coached by Kobe in training camp yesterday, and now I have the opportunity to face Kobe on the court. I really don't think so. I am looking forward to it, so I have to train harder in the summer~!!"

George responded.

It can be heard that George's heart is still very high.

Although George has been selected here, the Clippers still have three picks, so the Clippers' draft is not over yet.

Especially the trading market.

In addition to paying attention to which rookies have not been selected, the Clippers are also paying attention to the dynamics of the Timberwolves.

After all, Love's trade application has been made public, and many teams have submitted trade plans to the Timberwolves.

But regardless of the draft picks or immediate players, the overall chips are not as good as the Clippers.

Perhaps other teams did not regard Love as a must-win, so the chips they took out were not very generous.

Another reason is that after Love's voluntary request to leave the team was exposed, his transaction value naturally dropped a lot. This is a normal situation.

Seeing this, the Clippers strengthened their "offensive".

Because the Clippers have already selected George with the eighth pick, the latest offer from the Clippers is the 28th pick this year, and two second rounds, plus the first round pick in 2011 and the second round pick in 2012. Swap rights with the first-round pick, plus Brand and James Johnson, also in exchange for Love and Milicic, and a part of the cash for the parity deal.

Two first rounds, two second rounds, plus two main rotation players, this is an offer that other teams simply cannot offer.

"The offer from the Clippers is good enough, I think we should accept it~!!"

Here, the executive president of the Timberwolves basketball affairs department said to the general manager.

"We must continue to hold the initiative in the transaction, which is very critical. What I want is Harden~!!"

The general manager of the Timberwolves said.

If the general manager of the Timberwolves really thinks so, then there is no possibility of this deal being reached.

"If you really think so, I remind you that the final result is very likely to let Le Fu go for nothing~!!"

The CEO here also said the same thing.

"I have confidence in the transaction, don't worry~"

The general manager looked confident.

"We offer four draft picks and are willing to take Milicic's big contract, but they are still not satisfied~?!, it's really crazy~!!"

After the general manager of the Clippers learned of the situation, he immediately said angrily.

"The big deal is just not to use Love. With our bargaining chips, we can definitely get a quasi-All-Star power forward in exchange for another team~!"

The general manager continued,

It seems that Love and the Clippers are drifting away.

"Wait a little longer, general manager, wait a little longer~!!, Timberwolves' reply is definitely not the unified opinion of the management, it should be their general manager's willful idea. I think we still have a chance, relying on this bargaining chip, I I feel that if I can win Le Fu, I will definitely be able to~!!”

Lan Shengli was still very confident.

But after all, the draft is still in progress here, so there is not much time left for the two teams to discuss for the final time.

"The offer from the Clippers is good enough, and it will be difficult for Love to have a higher transaction value if it drags on like this, so it is the most sensible to trade at this time, and this opportunity must not be wasted~ !!"

"That's right, the Clippers will not improve by leaps and bounds in the past few seasons, so their first round is likely to become a lottery pick, plus potential striker Johnson, former All-Star Brand I think we are very suitable~!!"

There are also voices within the Timberwolves encouraging a trade with the Clippers.

This made the general manager of the Timberwolves hesitate.

"In the 2010 NBA draft, the No.20 pick in the first round, the San Antonio Spurs chose ~, James Anderson ~!!!"

While speaking, the draft conference has reached the second half of the first round, and there are still eight picks to go to the No.20 eighth pick of the Clippers~

If the Timberwolves still can't agree to a deal, then the Clippers can only choose.

"The main current situation is that even if we accept their offer, it is still a question of who we use these picks to choose ~!!, we haven't even investigated ~!!"

The general manager of the Timberwolves here became puzzled.

"As long as we have such assets, we are not afraid that it will rot in our hands. We can exchange for more assets~!!"

The CEO responded.

"If you don't contact me, then I will contact you~!"

Looks like the CEO is going to do it himself.

"In the 2010 NBA Draft, the No.20 first pick in the first round, the Oklahoma City Thunder chose Craig Bleggins~"

After another draft pick, the Timberwolves and the Clippers are still in a state of "holding fire".

It seems that the "big deal" is approaching the direction of "abortion".

"The Timberwolves can really hold their breath~!!, really~"

Lan Shengli is also very anxious here.

Because after all, after the draft is over, the most important and most valuable asset of the Clippers will be gone, so the probability of trading to Love will drop even more.

"Try one last time, don't care~!"

As Lan Shengli said, the Clippers quickly made another offer.

The 28th pick in the first round, two second rounds, plus the 2011 first-round pick, and the 2012 second-round pick and first-round pick swap rights, plus Brand and James Johnson, plus history Steve Blake, and the rights to a European player in exchange for Love and Milicic, and a portion of the cash from the parity deal.

Compared with the previous offer, this time the Clippers have increased the signing rights of the main rotation player Blake and European players. Such chips are exchanged for a second-year player and a garbage contract, which really sounds crazy.
