Only three minutes into the fourth quarter, the Knicks gave up the game because the point difference between the two sides had already exceeded 30. Looking at the current situation in this game, the point difference would only be lost.

The bigger it gets.

After the opponent raised the white flag and surrendered, Jiang Dongbing did not kill the Knicks. After all, this team is his major patron, so it is definitely not a good thing to directly beat people up.

Jiang Dongbing replaced the team's two water dispenser guardians plus veteran Thorpe and others, ending the game.

As the current Grizzlies lineup is too luxurious, Jiang Dongbing suddenly found that when the game enters garbage time, it will be difficult for him to deal with it. Where can he find so many fringe players to stay on the court?

David played about 30 minutes tonight and scored 42 points, 21 rebounds and 5 blocks. It can almost be said that he single-handedly crushed the New York Knicks and made Knicks owner Dolan jealous.

No one expected that David would be able to exert such terrifying dominance under Jiang Dongbing. It is true that the opponent Ewing is no longer as strong as before, but he is not a rotten tomato player who can dominate the old orangutan.

With such data, it can be said that his reputation as the number one parallel importer has been completely removed.

In addition to Ewing, Mobley also scored a super high score of 27 points tonight. As a substitute player, he scored such points in the opening game broadcast live in the United States, especially the consecutive three-pointers.

Mobley directly attracted a lot of attention.

…

"What? Jiang, you want to sell Mobley?"

After the game, Jiang Dongbing told Stewart his idea of ​​sending Mobley away, which made Stewart exclaim. In his opinion, Mobley is a very useful player, and it would be a pity to sell him like this.

"That's right, Stewart, we actually didn't give Mobley much playing time, and he was a second-round pick. I remember you only signed a two-year contract with him, right?" Jiang Dongbing asked.

Stewart nodded awkwardly. When he signed the contract, Miller signed it for three years. Since Mobley was an outside player, Stewart only signed a two-year contract.

How did he know that Mobley had such ability at the time? If he knew that Mobley was so good, he would definitely sign a four-year contract directly.

It is now the last year of Mobley's contract. Stewart thought that instead of waiting until the contract ends and Mobley leaves on his own, it is better to sell Mobley now, at least in exchange for some chips.

Of course, it is not impossible for the Grizzlies to renew Mobley's contract after this season, but this offer certainly cannot be low. Considering that there are too many outstanding newcomers in the Grizzlies lineup, the Grizzlies should always retain some salary.

Space to renew others.

"Okay, Jiang, you should consider this kind of thing in the longer term."

"But what do we exchange for Mobley?" Stewart asked helplessly.

To trade for a newcomer with good potential? Sorry, the Grizzlies have too many newcomers now. Even if they are traded, there will definitely be no opportunity to cultivate them.

To replace the stars who have already played? Let’s not talk about whether Mobley can be replaced. Even if he is exchanged, can the stars exchanged be really better than the players in the Grizzlies’ starting lineup?

David, the super center who just scored 40+20+5, is currently a young power forward who can at least be ranked among the top ten in the league, O'Brien, the league's number one small forward Stephen Jackson, and the league's unrecognized number one point guard Billups.

, how else can such a starting lineup be changed?

You can't put the acquired star on the bench. The star will definitely not be happy, and he might cause some shitty things.

So now Stewart is also stuck in the trouble of happiness. He really doesn't know what kind of chips he should exchange for Mobley.

There must be many teams in the league who want Mobley, but the Grizzlies don't know what to replace him with.

Jiang Dongbing is also worried. The 2000 draft picks are worthless. Although the 2001 draft picks are not considered a young year, Jiang Dongbing's interest is actually not very great. As long as there are no problems with the Grizzlies' salary structure, Jiang Dongbing

There is no need to make major adjustments to the Grizzlies' lineup now.

The draft year that really interested Jiang Dongbing was 2002, when Yao Ming entered the league as the No. 1 pick. Jiang Dongbing was bound to win the No. 1 pick in 2002, so Jiang Dongbing wanted to get the No. 1 pick in 2002 at all costs.

Thinking of this, Jiang Dongbing couldn't help but have an idea in his mind, that is, send Mobley to the Rockets.

Under normal circumstances, in fact, the season before the Rockets won the No. 1 pick, Mobley played for the Rockets and was the Rockets' scoring leader.

Now that Jiang Dongbing has sold Mobley to the Rockets and specified that he wants the Rockets' first-round pick in 2002, wouldn't he be able to get the Rockets' No. 1 pick by then?!

Although there are many variables in this, such as whether the Rockets can still get the No. 1 pick now. If they don't get it, Jiang Dongbing's plan will only fail. But in Jiang Dongbing's view, in order to get Yao Ming, the risk is still worth it.

Just take a chance.

After all, Jiang Dongbing didn't actually pay anything. He wanted to sell Mobley, and he didn't have the bargaining chip he wanted. So he sold the Rockets in exchange for a chance to win over Yao Ming. This deal is not a loss no matter how you look at it.

.

"Stuart, contact the Rockets and we will give Mobley to them!" Jiang Dongbing said decisively.

Stewart nodded. Whether it was sold to the Rockets or to other teams, it was the same in his opinion. The only thing to consider was what kind of bargaining chip the other party wanted.

"How to make a trade plan? Jiang, what do you value about the Rockets?" Stewart asked.

What he fears most is that Jiang Dongbing will tell him that he has set his sights on Olajuwon and Barkley of the Rockets. Both of them are about to retire, and even if they are exchanged, they will be of little value.

Fortunately for Olajuwon, he may be able to play for another year or two, but Barkley has expressed the idea of ​​retiring more than once. If the Grizzlies make a deal with the Rockets about Barkley, it is very likely that Barkley will

He announced his retirement directly the day after the deal was concluded.

"Their first-round pick in 2002 must be their own first-round pick, not a first-round pick acquired through trade." Jiang Dongbing specifically pointed out that he wanted the first-round pick drawn by the Rockets themselves.

If they only agreed on a first-round pick, if the Rockets really got the No. 1 pick at that time, I am afraid that even if they buy another team's first-round pick now, they would not be willing to hand over the No. 1 pick to the Grizzlies.

Even without the No. 1 pick, even if it's just a lottery pick, a stingy team like the Rockets might buy a late first-round pick and give it to the Grizzlies.
