0433 Crazy idea
As the boss, and with the prestige brought by the previous four consecutive championships, Su Yang had thought of directly specifying to choose a certain player.
No one dares to doubt, and no one is qualified to doubt.
For example, choose Antetokounmpo.
That was the perfect right choice. After all, Antetokounmpo's two consecutive MVPs, the best defensive player, and the creator of 50 points in the finals.
It doesn’t matter that fans and management cannot understand for the time being. Antetokounmpo can practice in two seasons, so there is no need to worry about people’s hearts.
It can even shock the whole game and steal the Bucks' 15th pick with the seventh pick, which is simply cool and cool.
Maybe it can disrupt the draft and trading plans of many other teams, which is comparable to becoming the Suns and allowing the whole world to revolve around.
What's the need to close the discussion?
Save time to play golf, or buy a yacht, and take fifty beautiful models to the sea to play. Are you unhappy?
Beautiful models are indeed fun, but in the long run, the benefits are relatively low. It is better to spend more time studying talent shows and build a dynasty.
Choosing Antetokounmpo directly did not maximize the benefits.
The higher the rookie's pick, the higher the salary for qualifications and future qualifications will be. Although the starting salary is only 1 million US dollars in the seventh pick and the fifteenth pick, the difference is that the Kings' total salary just exceeded the poor line last season, the impact is very little.
But in the long run, the promise to win the championship within four years has become very important.
You know, Roll Deng bought out the five million dollar salary, which was also quite disgusting to the Lakers in the era of the $100 million salary cap.
In Su Yang's view, the better solution is to seek downward trading, taking the premise of ensuring Antetokounmpo's choice, and preparing for the 2014 draft. Otherwise, if the Kings successfully enter the playoffs next season, there will be no suitable picks in the first and second rounds of the 14th round.
The penultimate acceptable result is the seventh pick = Antetokounmpo's pick before 41 in the second round in 2014, ensuring Jokic.
The worst result is that only Antetokounmpo was chosen.
As for the best results, there is no upper limit.
While thinking, Su Yang found that his mentality changed a lot. In the past, he only worked as a coach, and even if he chose the right player, he would be done. After becoming the boss, he naturally wanted to maximize his profits. If he had other teams, being able to choose Antetokounmpo would be a big profit.
"Our current first option is to choose CJ McCollum to reserve for the shooting guard position and prevent the vacancy after Tyrek Evans left. The second option is to choose Noel or Trey Burke, whose expected pick declines. If Noel declines, then he is our first choice. Then we will make a fuss around Noel. We can train and use it ourselves or trade it. I have collected news here. The 76ers are interested in sending Ju Holiday away and seeking a potential center for reconstruction..."
Sam Sinki slowly explained the general manager's team plan, the content was quite detailed and the consideration was very comprehensive. Anyway, he was professional.
Su Yang nodded occasionally to respond, which was why he did not directly designate Antetokounmpo or implement a certain plan.
In terms of vision, he is completely overwhelming.
However, some plans need to be implemented specifically, and Hinki must be allowed to operate. On the one hand, it saves his own time, while Hinki is indeed more professional, such as pick protection, what rankings should be protected in that year, and whether to protect continuously, also requires technology.
For example, in 2005, the Suns traded with the Hawks and received the Hawks' future first-round pick (protected in 2006, protected in 2007, unprotected in 2008), while the Hawks ranked fourth from the bottom in the league in 2006, drawing the fifth pick and successfully retaining the draft pick.
The Suns were not disappointed at that time. After all, there were 14 lottery positions in the Lotto. However, in 2007, the Hawks once again ranked fourth from the bottom in the league and drew the No. 3 draw, retaining the draft pick again, and selecting the future core of the inside Al Horford, which made the Suns very angry.
It was not until 2008 that the Hawks' draft pick became unprotected, so the Suns got the 15th pick. You should know that the Suns sent Joe Johnson to the Hawks. Although Dior's joining did allow the Suns to enter the Western Conference Finals, they still suffered a loss in terms of trading.
There are also cases where the draft picks were not protected and were slapped in the face in the face. For example, in 10 years, the Clippers asked the Cavaliers to trade Byron Davis and Mo Williams, and gave their first round, without protection. As a result, the first round ended up becoming the No. 1 pick Irving.
In short, Su Yang intends to let Sam Sinki participate in the entire decision rather than simply commanding and executing a certain order. Moreover, Sinki's proposal to exchange Holiday is also a very interesting idea, but the Kings do not lack point guards, and they must reserve a starting position.
"That's all the main solutions. What do you think?" After about five minutes, Hinki completed the explanation and turned to seek suggestions.
Su Yang thought for a moment and quickly glanced at the three assistants under Hinki. He wanted to ask the three assistants to leave temporarily to reduce the risk of leaking the draft plan, but in that way he would choose employees who did not trust him or Hinki, so he immediately spoke directly.
"I think it's feasible to use Noel to trade, but I don't even have the dynasty cornerstone level in my mind, including CJ McCollum, and even Alex Lane, who was the No. 1 pick, in my mind, Is there a report from Giannis Antetokounmpo?"
When Hinki heard this, he buried his head and flipped over quickly. In the blink of an eye, he found the Antetokounmpo scout report and handed it to Su Yang and several others respectively.
The report is written in great detail.
【Amazing 7-foot-3-inch arm span, incredible big palm, super athletic wing, still in a state of height growth, has grown 3 inches in the past year, is currently 6-foot-9 inches tall, has strong mobility, has strong physical control ability, can dribble greatly, and is very smooth and fast, can cover four positions on the court, has excellent basketball IQ, excellent passing skills, has a keen awareness, has the potential to become an All-Star forward, and can even serve as a ball handler...
The offense and defense conversion is unstoppable. After grabbing the rebound, you can pass it to the other side of the basket with only 2-3 dribbling times. You have good shooting potential. Even if he doesn't look like he can shoot at all now, he still has a strong sense of defense and has excellent ability to block defense. He is fast enough to defend the opponent's defender. He will be the one with the highest potential among the 13 international players...]
If you only look at the advantages, Antetokounmpo is definitely the next generation super giant, and the situation is slightly less than that of Batum, who is also a defensively enhanced version.
But Antetokounmpo's shortcomings are also very detailed.
[The league level is too low and it is difficult to judge its competitive level, which makes it difficult to determine the talent shown. The upper limit reaches the sky and the lower limit reaches the three basement. He is too thin and must gain muscle, which may lead to a reduction in sensitivity. His level of off-ball is extremely low, and his screening and cutting are not even at the level of American high school students. His shooting and free throw shooting rate is low. He relies too much on talent on the defensive end, and his serious lack of basic skills. He has a serious lack of basic skills on the offensive end. Most of the scores come from forcing the basket to force the ball...]
"How is it, what do you think?" Su Yang asked.
Honki raised his eyebrows slightly: "This is a very risky option, and we may take three to four seasons to develop and verify..."
Su Yang nodded in agreement.
From the current perspective, it is indeed very risky to choose Antetokounmpo using the 7th pick. Not only Hinki thinks that even if he helps Antetokounmpo apply for a passport and brings Antetokounmpo to the United States, Marseille Ujri, the new general manager of the Raptors, did not use the 12th pick obtained by the Raptors from the Rockets (from the Thunder) to choose Antetokounmpo in advance.
The Hawks also secretly tried Antetokounmpo. The new head coach Budenholzer also directly said that he would be Antetokounmpo's coach in the future, but the Hawks did not trade upward draft picks, and then chose Antetokounmpo in advance. The same type also includes Mavericks general manager Nelson Jr.
Whether it is the Raptors, Eagles, Mavericks, or even the Bucks who actually chose Antetokounmpo, they all want to scrape Antetokounmpo lottery.
But the main reason is that Antetokounmpo's bottom limit is that it can be seen from the naked eye that the lower limit is extremely low.
"What do you think of this plan?"
Su Yang picked up the paper and pen and wrote: "We use the No. 7 sign to seek a transaction, and the goal is the Jazz's No. 14 and No. 21 sign. Our bottom line of trading can give an extra second round pick, and then use the No. 14 sign to choose Giannis, and then use the No. 21 sign..."
In his previous life, on the 13th draft, the Timberwolves unexpectedly chose Trey Burke in the 9th pick, and then exchanged the Jazz with the 14th pick and Gorgi Dion with the 21st pick. Su Yang's goal was to trade the Jazz two signs downward.
If you succeed, you can choose Gobert at the 21st pick and then go to the Jazz to exchange for the first round of the 2014 years. It is very likely that the first round of the 2014 years will be the fourth or fifth pick. At that time, you can choose LaVine or Smart, which is a huge profit.
I am not afraid that the Jazz will not change to the first round of 2014 years, and will train Gobert himself, show his talent in one season, and then change it will cost more money!
Gobert can still use it by himself if he takes a step back.
In addition, if you choose Jokic for a second round pick, then the basic lineup will be Jokic Antetokounmpo Lavender/Smart, Cousins and Thomas Jr. choose to stay or stay depending on the situation. If Curry comes again, the strength of the lineup will take off directly, and the dynasty will be expected.
“I think it works.”
Hinki nodded in agreement and said, "But it is quite difficult to change to the Jazz No. 14 and No. 21 in advance."
"Yes, it's really difficult."
Su Yang understood that if you want to exchange Burke with the Jazz, you must ensure that you can choose Burke. Burke is currently the 6th pick, which is just one pick higher than the King's signing position. The key is that you cannot take the initiative to contact the Jazz, otherwise it will be too easy to be underprived.
"The transaction may not happen until the day of the draft, but we must strive to exchange in advance..." Su Yang did not want to spend too many nights, and the main exchange of the draft was the same day, asking the Jazz to help use the 21st pick to choose Gobert, which may lead to the failure of the transaction.
Chapter completed!
