Holding parties, conducting parade tours, and the championship celebration lasts for five days, Sacramento seems to be entering the carnival.

After Su Yang participated in various parties, he also gave himself three days off and accompanied Jiang Rulan to travel to the Maldives. On the 20th, there were only four days left before the draft, and various off-season work was about to begin. I returned to Sa City on time and started working again.

I entered the training base at 8 o'clock in the morning, greeted the staff, and then entered the office to send and receive emails.

Sam Sinki knocked on the door as promised, chatted a few simple things about vacation, then put away his smile and went to the topic, "Half an hour ago, I received an email from Paul George's agent Aaron Mintz, which has been forwarded to your email address. Let's take a look first."

Seeing that Hinki was serious, Su Yang immediately searched for ancient keywords and directly located the email sent by Aaron Mintz.

[Dear Mr. Sam Sinki and the greatest coach Su Yang, before formally explaining our request, I would like to congratulate the King of Sacramento on achieving the brilliant achievements of three consecutive championships. You are not comparable to the King's construction in the league]

Su Yang skipped quickly after a series of flattery content.

Then he mentioned that Paul George was a child who grew up in the Palm Springs area of ​​Los Angeles. He has been a fan of Kobe and the Lakers since he was a child. After becoming a big star in recent years, he has always wanted to give back to the community, but because of the long-term contract, it is difficult to dream.

"Okay, I probably guessed..."

Su Yang naturally thought of the word "Arhu Dream" and thought to himself that since he wanted to apply for a deal to play in Los Angeles, why do he have to be so implicit? Is it because his personality is too strong and his skills are too domineering, which shocks Aaron? Mingts dare not offend him at all?

Keep reading along with the email, the content matches the guess.

George and the team behind him consider themselves the first small forward in the league. In addition to winning the championship for two consecutive seasons, they vaguely want to challenge Durant and LeBron to attack the unique small forward. Naturally, they feel that there is only a team championship but no personal honor.

It looks a bit like Kobe who won three consecutive championships.

There may also be an impact on the announcement of the FMVP voting results. ESPN previously revealed that the distribution of FMVP voting in this finals was that Curry got 5 votes, George got 4 votes, and LeBron got 2 votes. Theoretically, George has a chance.

However, Aaron Mintz's words are particularly implicit.

[After a comprehensive assessment, we hope that Paul George can make further development in personal honors. Of course, he also likes the rare team style of the Kings and thanks for this wonderful experience. However, if you don’t try, you may feel a little regretful after retirement. Now you have an opportunity to make Paul George and the Kings have the best of both worlds. We think this is the best time, but we also promise that if George stays with the Kings, he will still give 100%]

In addition to returning to his hometown to play basketball and improving his personal honor, Paul George also has several reasons why he wants to leave.

Although it was not written, Su Yang could guess it.

The first is his character of playing. Whether it is his teammate Hibert competing with his teammate Hibert for the qualification to be a stripper first, or the frequent reports of his preference for participating in various parties, it all proves that George likes to play, and playing in Los Angeles will be more fun.

The second is more salary, and it may even be the main reason. The Kings have signed a 25-30% maximum salary contract with Antetokounmpo. According to Antetokounmpo's performance this season, it is very likely that 30% maximum salary will be triggered. In addition, Curry will have to renew the maximum salary and Cousins' contract, so the Kings have no more room to leave George. George's contract ends in the 18-19 season, but after the 17-18 season, he can jump out of the player option and re-sign, and he will inevitably strive for the maximum salary contract. Staying with the King for a year will increase the risk.

Maybe it was this year's contract, coupled with Su Yang's strong means that Aaron Mintz negotiated so politely.

"It seems that the rumors before the finals were true, and they were contacting Los Angeles at that time..." Hinki showed some regrets, probably thinking that if he could dig deeper, he could now take more initiative.

Su Yang chuckled and shook his head, "It doesn't matter. I can't keep it anyway. This is a two-way choice. Why not see what the best of both worlds is?..." The king could indeed force George to stay for a year, but that would be a waste of George and would not get any asset returns. If the plan provided by Aaron Mintz was excellent, it would not only get asset returns, but also free up salary space and generate additional operations.

[Before I sent you this email, we had sufficient communication with the Los Angeles Lakers team and the Los Angeles Clippers team and reached a certain consensus and agreement. If we trade with the Clippers, we can pull the Thunder as the third team to get rewards from Oladi Po Sabonis, and it can also be several future first-round draft picks...]

"Sabonis is an effective bargaining chip, but what the hell is Oladipo? Even if it only has one year contract, it won't fool us like this. We have Lavender and Brogdon at the shooting guard position. Why do we trade Oladipo?"

Su Yang was a little speechless.

The solution provided by Aaron Mintz is indeed OK. He became a Thunder player because of the Magic and the Thunder's trade. He has height, confrontation, and movement. If Cousins ​​cannot be kept, he can be trained as the main force.

It is really unnecessary to bring an Oladipo. The contract of $84 million for four years is too burdensome and takes up more salary space than George. Although the defense is the best first-team level, the fatal problem is that it almost overlaps with the functions of LaVine and Brogdon.

As for the Thunder and the Clippers' draft picks, it's acceptable. After all, George only has one year left for a contract, and his value is average.

But those two broken teams are not willing to completely play the game. At that time, they will get the eight or nine picks, or even the twelve or three or four picks, which is really useless. If they can get a draft pick of Doncic or Ayton, they will definitely agree immediately.

"What is the trading plan for the Lakers?"

With curiosity, Su Yang continued to browse the email.

[If you are not satisfied with the chips of the Clippers and the Thunder, we can also win over the Lakers for negotiations. They are willing to provide the second pick this year and the future protected first-round pick. Ms. Jenny Buss looks forward to negotiating with you...]
