0687 That's You Derrick Rose
In just ten minutes, Su Yang and Sam Sinki settled the negotiation strategy, and it was no problem to eat the Lakers with confidence.
The King's biggest shortcoming is that George's contract has only one year left. If he trades with teams outside Los Angeles, he will most likely encounter the threat of not renewing the contract. Anyway, he will definitely be able to do it in the style of Aaron Mintz, which will lead to the inability to obtain high bargaining chips.
But trading with the Lakers will become an advantage.
The main reason is that George wants to go to the Lakers too much, and the Lakers have enough salary space to match draft picks and potential young people, send off Rollden or Mozgov's contracts, and directly transform into a weak team from the league and to become a favorable contender in the Western Conference playoffs. Anyway, the Lakers are currently hosting potential players such as Russell, Ingram, Randall, and are not interested in training them.
Since the Lakers played against Kobe, they have never tried their best and have trained a rookie for a long time. Bynum, the longest, has traded.
Therefore, there is only one core strategy for negotiation: if you can, you will be delayed. Most of the George team and the Lakers are unwilling to take risks to gambling. After all, with Su Yang's style, if you dare to make trouble, it is entirely possible to give George the most of the DNP to DNP for half a season or a season. If such a situation occurs, if the Lakers are missing the opportunity to accelerate reconstruction, George will be difficult to endure and may also cause additional risks.
If George is not honest and chooses to play seriously, the king can also win four consecutive championships, which is nothing more than a loss of future assets.
The core is to see who surrenders first.
Making up his mind, Su Yang instructed Hinki to reply Aaron Mintz: Let the Lakers get the second pick, as well as the first round of the next 18 years, plus Larry Nance Jr. for exchange, and the Kings can send out the final first round of this year, as well as Paul George.
The two first rounds of the Kings in 2016 and 2018 were used in the transactions between Jokic and George. The first round of the 2017 was retained because they could not trade for two consecutive years, but in fact they were not valuable. After choosing, they had to sign a contract to protect the contract. Not only did they take up the salary space in vain, they would not have much effect in the future. It would be better to do a favor and make the Lakers feel that they are not that loss.
Nans is used as a substitute center. Jason Thompson does not need to stay. Zhou Qi is almost interested. It is necessary to find a substitute for Cousins. In the era when small balls are prevalent, Nans is tall and physique enough to serve as a substitute for the center.
"Aron Mintz replied..."
Sam Sinki said happily, "It only took three minutes. It seems that they are really anxious. It is probably because there are some related arrangements, but the process is still going on. He said that he should study and discuss it carefully, and he can discuss it in person tomorrow at the latest..."
Su Yang nodded in response.
Aaron Mintz's reaction was expected. After all, it involves the upcoming draft. Whether George is getting George or not has a great impact on the Lakers' draft direction and subsequent operations. George may have to send Ingram away, and choose a substitute forward and substitute guard at the low pick in the first round. Without George, George may have to send D'Angelo Russell away, and choose Ronzo Ball or Fox.
The negotiations with the Lakers came to an end, and Su Yang continued to browse the accumulated work emails, mainly the new season work of the commercial department, rookie publicity plans, season ticket and ordinary ticket repricing plans, new season venue sponsor selection plans, etc.
"We want to raise prices. Teams with three consecutive championships should have such treatment, but don't increase the ticket prices of middle-level stands. The main price of high-level mountain top stands and sideline seats will increase. Season tickets can only be slightly increased. After all, the consumption base of Sacheng..."
"Sponsorship only accepts famous and formal brands. You and I will not accept betway or other types. Then they don't accept double sponsorship. We need to manage our own image. In addition, we reserve a certain position and time for each game to advertise for charity, social affairs, etc., but ignore the animal protection association and the snare organizations like the embrace…"
"The event of the champion's visit to the White House was cancelled. I don't have a good impression of Trump. I believe the players don't like him either. If the reporter asks the reason, he says we have made arrangements in advance and will demonstrate to the primary school students in Washington that day how to play..."
Replying to multiple emails one after another, Su Yang got up and walked around and relaxed his neck. Sam Sinki, who was also in the office, smiled and said: "I just wanted to tell you that the Celtics chose to trade with the 76ers, and the number one and three draft picks were exchanged. The 76ers sent an additional first-round draft pick with conditions in the future. It seemed that they suddenly overturned the previous decision and temporarily decided to choose other rookies..."
Su Yang chuckled when he heard this, "It's interesting..."
As a experienced person, I didn’t expect that under completely different circumstances, I could still witness this transaction happening, which is truly magical.
This is the Celtics, who did not reach the Eastern Conference Finals or even the playoffs, chose to give up Fultz when they got the first No. 1 pick in team history. It can only be said that Danny Angie does have ideas and is very bold.
Hinki nodded and sighed, "Yes, Fultz was identified as the No. 1 pick last year. It is said that the Celtics lacked excellent starting point guards and should choose him firmly. But at the beginning of the month, a reporter once revealed that Celtics head coach Stevens was worried about Fultz's tactical understanding ability, so their general manager Danny Angie flew to watch Josh Jackson's game. Even if Josh Jackson was released, he didn't care. He seemed to be interested..."
"That's all a trick..."
Su Yang smiled and waved his hand, "Their real goal should be Jason Tatum. If the deal between us and the Lakers is reached, we will choose in advance at the second pick, and let Danny Angie experience the feeling of being stolen..."
Hinki thought after hearing this, narrowed his eyes and asked, "Do they already have potential point guard candidates in the free market? Or decide to let Smart play point guard, or the rumored Hayward serves as the organizational striker and the point guard will be replaced with functional?"
"What if he doesn't matter, let's choose Tatum first..."
While chatting and laughing, at 11:00 a.m., Aaron Mintz called directly to the video call. After answering, the screen showed that Jenny Bass and Magic Johnson were also there. It was obvious that they had already discussed George's deal together and were preparing to start the first round of negotiations.
Su Yang sat down casually, chatting casually, and quickly thought about whether to mention the transaction first.
Just as he was thinking, the magician suddenly said: "Su, after two hours of discussion and asking about Larry Nance's personal thoughts, we are willing to accept the transaction conditions you proposed. Given the tight time, we recommend canceling the interview, but we hope not to disclose the conclusion of this transaction to the public for the time being, and wait until the draft day to officially declare it to the league. How about?"
Su Yang was a little surprised. He didn't expect the transaction to be reached so easily, and the key magician also took the initiative to cooperate to keep it confidential.
After the leak occurred last year, the King kept catching the insider, but failed. In the end, he suspected that he was an employee of the publicity department who joined less than half a year and then hurriedly resigned. No leak could occur again this time.
The main thing is to ambush Danny? Anji is a good move to avoid Anji from jumping into the wall and making any tricks, and forcibly choose Tatum.
"I think it's OK!"
Su Yang nodded in agreement, and then naturally thought about how to better cultivate Tatum, and at the same time, he thought about whether the $19.5 million saved salary space should be kept without saving luxury taxes, or to rush into the free market to operate.
The transaction details negotiations were soon over, and Hinki turned to study and check the transaction details and draft-related work arrangements.
Su Yang came back to his senses and continued to process work emails. He found that he had received several new emails, all from the player's agent.
After a closer look, it turned out that Wood and Bamot were about to jump out of the contract to test the free market, as well as Langston Galloway's thank-you letter. He should have already had a certain contract contract, and he is likely to go to the Pistons for 3 years of US$21 million.
Su Yang replied to emails one by one and sent a text message to thank the three for their efforts. He also reminded the official to thank him when the time comes.
Putting down your phone and choosing those players to fill the gaps in the three of them has become a new focus of work.
"Derick Ross, that's you!"
