Early the next morning, Stewart directly contacted the Clippers' general manager and proposed the Grizzlies' trade plan.

The Grizzlies are willing to trade rookie center Brad Miller, who just won the Finals MVP, in exchange for the Clippers' No. 1 center David Taillon and their first-round and second-round picks this year.

Although this trade plan cannot be said to be a big deal, Jiang Dongbing estimates that the Clippers will probably not agree to it.

But this is just to test the Clippers' bottom line. If they really agree, then everything will be happy, but if they don't agree, there is still room for negotiation.

Now it depends on whether the Clippers are interested in Brad Miller.

"Jiang, there's a message from the Clippers."

"They are interested in this deal, but they have to replace Brad Miller with Jackson." Stewart said with a frown.

Jiang Dongbing's face twitched, but the Clippers made a good calculation. Now Jackson is recognized as the number one small forward in the league. Considering Jackson's style and strength, Ling Lian is suitable as the core of the team, and his value is definitely not big.

Wei can match.

Although David is the No. 1 pick and is full of talent that can be seen with the naked eye, after all, he failed to perform well in his rookie season. No one knows whether he is a parallel import.

The Clippers may also be thinking about getting the regular season MVP and then rebuilding the team. Although David is gone, as long as they find another decent center player, the Clippers' competitiveness will immediately increase.

It is definitely impossible for Jiang Dongbing to agree to such a deal. If Jackson is really sold, what is the point of getting David in exchange?

"Tell them, it's impossible, Stephen is not for sale."

"If they want to trade, they can only trade Brad. Others will not be considered." Jiang Dongbing said with a frown.

Stewart nodded, "Okay, then I'll reply to them."

Because the offseason is extremely long, offseason transactions usually last for a long time. Both sides have plenty of time to argue, and Jiang Dongbing is also ready for a protracted war with the Clippers.

Depending on what the Clippers want, it is obviously impossible to get two draft picks from them. Jiang Dongbing feels that he must find other ways to get the draft picks for Da Zhi and Ginobili.

In this year, Jiang Dongbing has accumulated some connections in the NBA, which can be put to use now.

Jiang Dongbing first contacted Kings head coach Adelman, and the two exchanged contact information.

After contacting Adelman, the other party quickly responded to Jiang Dongbing after a few hours. The transaction plan they gave was outrageous.

Take out Verratti Divac and two draft picks this year in exchange for Brad Miller.

The two draft picks of the Kings are not high, and Divac's current value is not great. It is obviously overthinking to use such a bargaining chip to exchange for the new FMVP.

However, Jiang Dongbing can also understand Adelman's thoughts. He is too eager to get Miller. As a head coach who mainly plays the Princeton system, Brad Miller can be said to be Adelman's true destiny.

Once Miller is available, Adelman's Princeton system will become flawless. In this era, the two centers most suitable for the Princeton system are Sabonis and Miller.

"Rick, you can't be serious, can you?"

"How dare you ask for such a bargaining chip?" Jiang Dongbing joked to Adelman with a smile.

Adelman on the other end of the phone was a little embarrassed. Of course he knew that the offer he gave was a bit embarrassing, but there was nothing he could do about it. Besides Webb, the most valuable player for the Kings now was Divac.

Chris Webber definitely can't be sold, so the only option is to trade for Divac.

"Jiang, it's not like you don't know that our king only has so much family background." Adelman said with a wry smile.

"Rick, I know you really want Brad Miller, but at least until the end of his rookie season, your Kings have no chance."

"I'm calling you because I just want to buy your second-round pick. It hasn't reached the level of trading core players yet," Jiang Dongbing said.

"Okay, if it's just a second-round pick, we have a trade plan."

"Use your substitute Lewis for our substitute Stojakovic, and give you the 45th overall draft pick for free," Adelman said calmly.

Jiang Dongbing was stunned. Is there such a good thing? This is simply pie in the sky.

It seems that the Grizzlies made no profit at all from this transaction, and even suffered some losses. The main reason is that although Lewis and Stojakovic were both rookies in 1998, and they were both substitutes in their rookie seasons, their performance was completely

Not on the same level.

Peja Stojakovic's rookie season was extremely poor. As a shooter, his shooting percentage was less than 38% and his three-point shooting percentage was only 32%. His shooting percentage was simply beaten by Lewis.

.

In terms of defense, Lewis played the fourth position and Peja played the swingman. The defense of these two people was actually half-matched. The boss was not to mention the second.

So overall, Lewis's value is definitely much higher than that of Peja. Now that the Kings only added a second-round pick with the 45th overall pick and exchanged these two players, the Kings must have made a profit.

But Jiang Dongbing knows very well that Peja's potential is definitely no worse than Lewis, and may even be higher. In any case, Peja at his peak was also one of the top five offensive players in the league.

"Okay, let's change it." Jiang Dongbing didn't ask Stewart for instructions and directly made the decision on the deal.

Lewis and Peja are similar in height, and Peja is even more flexible than Lewis. Peja can do everything Lewis can do, and even do it better.

In addition, the Kings also gave a team the 45th overall pick, so this deal is a profit no matter how you look at it.

Of course, the Kings are not at a loss. After all, Lewis has been specially trained by Jiang Dongbing. His current immediate combat ability is definitely not comparable to that of Peja. After joining the Kings, he can immediately help the Kings improve their combat effectiveness.

Adelman on the other end of the phone laughed happily. Originally, he didn't have much expectations for Miller's trade. After all, the Kings were really a bit shabby. Now that they have acquired Lewis, who is very capable in combat, Adelman

Man was also satisfied.

The Princeton system needs shooters very much. A mature shooter like Lewis is also a player that Adelman needs very much.

"It's nice to work with you, Jiang."
