All I Really Want Is To Play Basketball Chapter 717: A model of trading, Fenghuang’s new left hand!
Throughout the history of the NBA, as the season progresses, people can find clues in the news before most transactions happen.
However, since it is the majority, the past history has also been told countless times.
There are some transactions, even until they happen, you can’t find any logic at all.
Because of reality, sometimes it is more nonsensical than Stephen Chow's movies.
Since the purchase of the Warriors in 1995, this is Chris Cohan’s 13th year in charge of the Warriors.
Compared with Su Feng's memory, because the benefits of the Raptors' disintegration happened that year, a very appealing star guard (Steve Nash) was recruited for the Warriors, so in recent years, It can be described as a high-gloss period since Cohan took charge of the Warriors.
However, not only did Cohan not feel the happiness brought to him by basketball during this period of high light...
Instead, as he has continuously increased his investment in the Warriors in recent years, in such a critical year in 2008, he felt what it meant to be inadequate.
Because.......
The subprime mortgage crisis Lei!
Since 2006, the Cohan family’s cable television industry has shrunk dramatically.
With the advent of 2008, the huge debts of Sonic Communications under Cohan's control have become the sword of Damocles hanging over Cohan's head.
So, as early as last summer, when Sean Marion’s agent found the Warriors, hoping to discuss with the team about an early contract extension...
Although Marion has made an indelible contribution to the rise of this warrior...
But in the eyes of Cohan...
This stuff is clearly a rebellious court thief who wants to die quickly!
Huh?
You said that Marion’s terms in this contract extension are not excessive, and these few million dollars are just a drop in the bucket for Cohan, who has a net worth of over 100 million?
Wake up!
If it was in Su Feng's original time and space, then indeed, Marion's contract renewal condition Cohan was completely acceptable.
But in this era when the super luxury tax was born in advance...
Once the contract renewal with Marion is completed, Cohan will have to pay more luxury taxes to the alliance...
Plus the subprime mortgage crisis...
At the moment, how can Cohan still have extra money to support basketball. This is his hobby business?
Be aware that in the NBA, not everyone has the courage of the old Buss to turn the team into the family's first industry.
And in the United States, not all cities are Los Angeles and New York.
Su Feng's previous life, after the rise of the Warriors, many cloud fans like to attribute the success of the Warriors to their presence in a big city, a market, and fans.
But in Su Feng's view, these people are cloud fans. They clearly don't know the geography of the United States!
Cold knowledge.
For a long time, in the NBA, the attractiveness of Oakland is not even as good as Cleveland.
Because at the other end of the bridge, heaven is.
As for Oakland?
It's just a GTA city where the crime rate remains high all year round in the United States. You may have to wear underwear to go home at any time because you go out to buy a pack of cigarettes.
In Su Feng’s original time and space, the reason why the Warriors were getting bigger and bigger by Lacob and his business partners was precisely because Lacob made a decision that violated his ancestors and decided to move the team to Bay area.
However, before that, even if Nash’s appearance had already caused the golden wave of Oracle Arena to roll over in advance, Cohan couldn’t give up his family’s industry and devote himself to it like Old Buss did to the Lakers. Into the building of the Warriors.
On the one hand, this is related to the inability to generalize the wealth of the rich and the rich. On the other hand, it is related to the fact that the NBA is not as profitable as people think.
In fact, even in the golden age under Stern, more than half of the league's teams were at a loss.
Therefore, in order not to violate his ancestors, after the time came to January 2008, Cohan decided that he could only violate the group of people who were clamoring for reinforcement and reinforcement of the team.
……
For the entire month of January, in order to help Marion find his next home, the Warriors management who got Cohan’s advice not only made the promise to old Nelson that we would never trade Marion this season, but also contacted Marion’s agent. When discussing again, the Warriors’ management also hinted to him through his agent many times:
Sean, if your data can be better...
That summer, what we will offer you then is...
Marion: ヽ(??▽?)ノ!
But in fact, privately, the Warriors' management had set their sights on those teams that still had cap space to take over Marion.
And, in order to ensure that the Warriors’ salary cap is suppressed below the luxury tax next season, according to Cohan, it is...
As long as someone is willing to take over Marion...
It doesn't matter if you can't exchange Marion for the future of this warrior.
Because Cohan at this time had already started to sell the team to pay off the debt.
It's just....
At this juncture, Cohan can't find a picker in a short time.
Cohan knows that even if he is already in debt now, in order to ensure that the Warriors can sell some money in the future, this summer, the Warriors must keep Nash, whose contract expires.
In contrast, if Marion uses the player option this summer, the Warriors will not go...
Then he will have to spend more than an astronomical amount to raise Marion?
And soon, after some research, the Warriors finally found a team that could earn Marion's contract.
Chicago Bulls.
However, because the bull at this time is stubbornly stumbling, so there is a fighting force like Marion...
In case one accidentally takes the Bulls' record too well, causing the Bulls to fail to choose the "new Jordan" they want in the coming year, isn't that doing the team's treasure?
You know, the rookies in the 2008 class are not as famous as the 2007 class...
But there are several rookies in the 2008 class who are also famous.
So the Bulls didn't even think about it, so they rejected the Warriors' application for a deal.
At the same time, he learned that the Warriors intend to trade Marion's Kupchak through his own network, and in the winter of this year, he officially opened his "robbery plan."
Many years later, when NBA general managers replayed Kupchak's trade, they were deeply impressed by Kupchak's wisdom.
Because this "hijacking plan" not only follows the various NBA rules and regulations, but in a sense, it is also a model in the history of NBA trading.
……
As we all know, in the summer of 2007, after getting Su Feng by signing first and then changing, the combined annual salary of Su Feng and Kobe reached an astonishing $44 million.
So to rob the Warriors, Kupchak knew that he had to gather the chips on the gaming table first.
However, with the Lakers' cap space locked up, even if the crotch pays, in theory, Kupchak can't draw out this bargaining chip for Marion.
However, since it is a model in the history of NBA trading, Kupchak will naturally use his next operations to tell you...
What is meant by a deal that others cannot do, he can do it.
What is meant by a deal that others don't dare to think about, he dares to think about it.
According to NBA rules, when a player is reimbursed for the season, the team can apply to the league for an injury exception equal to about half of the player’s salary for signing a player until the end of the season, or trading an equivalent The "contract expires" players.
So, after the NBA officially approved Kobe’s injury exception, Kupchak knew that it was time to perform real skills.
On January 4th, due to the embarrassing financial resources of the little brother Grizzlies, Kupchak proposed to the good brother Grizzlies. We can use this injury exception to trade you last season in order to rebuild from the Bulls. In exchange for Kwame Brown's suggestion.
And after hearing that, the Grizzlies, who had already thought that Brown had eaten a lot of food and were not very capable of life, immediately felt the unforgettable love of the Lakers' big brother for him!
If you are in the NBA, write the relationship between the team and the team as romance.
In the winter of this year, in Xiong Bao's view...
She is like the ash mushroom in the arms of the Lakers brother.
There are no twists and turns.
There is no wrangling either.
Almost without even thinking about it, the Grizzlies reached a deal with the Lakers.
At this time, it was generally felt that the Lakers had been robbed.
But.......
In view of the weak inside line of the Lakers in the 07/08 season...
In the eyes of experts, trading this injury exception for Kwame Brown is a helpless move for the Lakers.
However, just when the fans and experts felt distressed and bitter for the Lakers...
Where did they know that at this time, Kupchak had gathered all the chips to negotiate with the Warriors.
Because the NBA's trading rules are very complicated and cumbersome.
So even the most experienced NBA fan can't guess what Kupchak wants to do next.
However, if you are an experienced 2K Dynasty player...
Then you should know that Brown has become Kupchak's next trump card to rob the Warriors. (Note①)
As the chief disciple of Jerry West...
No one in this alliance understands better than Kupchak. If you want to facilitate a deal, you must first understand what the other party is saying.
The current Warriors are trying to make room for salary next season.
In order to try to avoid Marion's choice to use the player option, then limited by the super luxury tax, they will not be able to retain their ace player Steve Nash this summer.
So, among the Lakers, Brown, Radmanovic and Vujacic, whose contracts are about to expire this summer, aren't they the bargaining chips the Warriors want most at this time?
As for the Warriors' results this season?
Wake up.......
His Chris Cohan can't live anymore. Are you still talking to him about his grades?
You're afraid that you don't want him to die!
And can the Warriors still create the "Bernese Miracle" under the two cosmic teams of the Blazers and the Celtics this season?
Don't talk to me.
In the business league of the NBA, since some people can do everything for their dreams, there are also people who can abandon everything for profit.
So, on January 31...
When Su Feng, who had just finished learning English with Britney Spears, learned from the phone that Kupchak had turned him into a horse from Golden State like a juggling...
Since entering the league, this is the first time Su Feng has felt it in his life...
What is pie falling from the sky?
"I will drop a tortoise! Is this a job that carbon-based organisms can do?"
Originally, when Kupchak switched back to Brown at the beginning of the year, Su Feng once felt that Kupchak was not tired of being a dad.
But now...
I have to say.......
There is still so much difference between a professional general manager and his amateur general manager.
Of course, the very different pursuits of Bass and Cohan are also the fundamental reason why the Lakers and the Warriors can reach a deal this time.
Under the influence of the subprime mortgage crisis, it is impossible for all NBA teams to remain unaffected.
But for Old Buss, the Lakers, who have a vast Chinese market, can only coax Su Feng to turn against the wind and rise to the sun under this crisis.
So, when Su Feng went against the sky again and again, how could the old Buss not feel sorry for Feng GieGie?
Luxury tax?
Super luxury tax?
As long as Su Feng can lead the Lakers to reshape the glory of the past, why should the Lakers worry that they will not be able to make money?
Therefore, Kupchak has the possibility to carry out this operation under the situation of completely different team owners.
Perhaps, in the winter of this year, the Lakers after returning to Marion can only relieve Su Feng's usual pressure on the court.
But in the coming year, wait until Kobe returns...
Kupchak believes that the Lakers will surely issue the most powerful challenge to the championship!
For Marion, who was fooled by the Warriors for half a season...
He who wanted to post a long article to denounce the Warriors...
Now I don’t know whether to thank the warrior or to thank the warrior...
Because as one of the "Maple Emperor Nemesis" who has played against Su Feng countless times on the field...
In this league, how many people know better than Marion, how strong is Su Feng?
But you may not believe it.
In the case of Kupchak’s model transaction that shocked all NBA professionals...
In the market, few people in Humi and Fenghei are optimistic about this deal.
Because no matter how Kupchak made this deal through reasonable NBA trading rules...
After counting Marion’s salary, it is basically impossible for the Lakers to make any big moves in the next few years...
So....
No one really thinks that Marion, who has already begun to show a significant decline in his condition this season, and Kobe, who has no idea about his condition after returning from injury, can become Fenghuang's future right-hand man, right?
And considering the age of these three people next season...
The fans even nicknamed the Lakers in advance:
————"Los Angeles Nursing Home".
"Nursing home? What's wrong with the nursing home? The veterans are not dead, but withered!"
On this day, at the welcoming ceremony of Marion, Su Feng also said with a disdain for the media's suggestion that if the Lakers could not win the championship in a short time, they would not be able to embrace the future.
In Su Feng's original time and space, after the age of 30, Marion's offensive level has indeed fallen sharply.
But you have to admit that as a defensive vanguard, even before retiring, the defensive level of this product is better than most young people in this league~IndoMTL.com~ And for the Lakers who have Su Feng and Kobe In terms of...
Excuse me.......
Do they need other players to think about offense?
So....
Kupchak!
YYDS!
