Grizzlies general manager Mr. West actually doesn't want Li Chen.

He is not very interested in Li Zhen, what he wants is Andrew Bynum.

He feels that Bynum is a promising talent because he has already passed the test of the rookie wall. His physical fitness is obviously top-notch among centers, and his obvious talent and immediate combat ability make West salivate. Although Li Zhen

He has played very well so far this season, breaking single-game records and hitting multiple buzzer beaters, making him a man of the hour. But West always feels that Li Zhen's upper limit is not high and he will become another example of a rookie reaching his peak in history.

In addition, West felt that Li Zhen was too ostentatious. He believed that young people like this would not stay long even if they came to a small city like Memphis. When the time comes, they would make a fuss and leave, which would not be worth the gain.

Therefore, the transaction was at a stalemate.

Then, somehow, Isaiah Thomas got the news.

He actually personally called West's cell phone and told West: Let's cooperate.

Then, West held a discussion with Thomas in the mood of 'The whole league is cheating this fool, why can't I cheat this fool?' What he didn't expect was...Isaiah Thomas actually agreed.

This guy actually agreed to trade the 2007 first-round pick, the 2009 first-round pick and the 2011 second-round pick. And the 2007 pick is still an unprotected pick, which means...even if New York

Relying on a poor record to get the No. 1 pick, he had to be handed over to the Grizzlies.

With New York's current second-to-last record in the Eastern Conference, the probability of being the No. 1 pick is very high.

Even if there is no number one pick, there is basically no problem with the top three.

Next year is called an unprecedented draft year. Not only is the once-in-a-century super center Greg Oden, but also the youngster Kevin Duran who is leading the Longhorns to score crazy points and break records one after another.

Specially. There are also two giant inside players from the University of Florida, as well as a group of outstanding international teams.

With such a large group of team building blocks, no matter who is selected, they will win. Although Bruce Lee has already demonstrated his talent, his talent is far inferior to next year's monsters.

Therefore, West had almost no hesitation. He quickly reached a bottom-of-the-table agreement with Isaiah Thomas, as long as he got Bruce Lee from the Lakers, and immediately traded with New York. In order to show his sincerity, West even showed mercy and said that he could

Eat Malikros' junk contract.

But at the same time, he also came with another garbage contract... Stromell Swift, who is known as the magical deer that bounces when he walks, and one of the strongest springers in the NBA.

Isaiah Thomas showed his generous side, and he actually didn't refuse. After all, isn't it just jumping from one fire pit into another?

Thomas doesn't care.

What's more, the team already has a big fat guy like Eddy Curry. It would be better to send out a big-tonnage forward like Malik Rose, which would save him from being upset. Although Swift has no brains and no defense and can only dunk, but if he can dunk, he can

Not bad!

…

So, after Li Zhen left the stage after accepting the trophy for Best Pop Album, he saw a text message from Bill Duffy on his phone.

The content of the text message was very detailed: The trade happened again. The Memphis Grizzlies traded you to the New York Knicks. Memphis sent you and Swift for Malik Rose, Marty Collins, two future first-round picks and a second-round pick.

New York??

Li Zhen was stunned at that time.

Just go home?

Overnight, I received two awards and changed two teams, from the Pacific Division to the Southwest Division and then to the Atlantic Division? From the largest city on the West Coast to the largest city on the East Coast??

Li Zhen was stunned.

Then, his phone vibrated again: Congratulations, this is a good deal.

Bill Duffy sends a message from an agent's perspective.

Because everyone knows that New York is in ruins now. Although they have a lot of garbage contracts, with Stephon Marbury being refrigerated, Li Zhen can get far more opportunities than he did with the Lakers. And Isaiah Thomas braved the world's disapproval to carry out the game.

Such a gambling-style transaction is obviously intended to take Li Zhen as the core. In addition, New York, as the world's largest city, has a very active business market. It is of great benefit to Li Zhen in running his own brand.

Most importantly, after the false alarm in Memphis, New York was heaven!!

…

"If you love someone, send him to New York. If you hate someone, send him to New York."

Jenny Buss muttered to herself. She never dreamed that the logo man could have such a superb operation. He made a lot of money in this three-way transaction, and actually got three extremely valuable draft picks from the Knicks.

.In addition to the two sent out by the Lakers, there are also Kwame Brown and Eddie Griffin.

It is equivalent to using 1 Pau Gasol to replace the entire rebuilding lineup, and the salary space is also cleared.

So high!!

Jenny Buss couldn't help but admire secretly.

But.

"What is Isaiah Thomas trying to do?" Old Buss frowned. Although Thomas often does this kind of suffocating operation, but... this guy always has a very poisonous eye when looking at rookies. During last year's draft, he and

Jordan is most optimistic about Li Zhen. Jordan calls him his successor. Isaiah Thomas also praises him to the sky and even sends out trade requests again and again.

But, I didn't expect this guy to be willing to pay such a price.

When something goes wrong, there must be a monster.

Old Bass had a strong sense of crisis in his heart, which seemed to tell him that he had made the wrong choice.

But at this time, Jeanie Buss said from the side: Isaiah Thomas has now become the sinner of the entire New York City. Originally, all New York fans were waiting for Greg Oden or Kevin Durant, but now, he has ruined

Everyone's dream. Many fans think Bruce is not enough to compare with next year's rookies.

Jerry Buss smiled, somewhat relieved: "Isaiah Thomas won't care. The New York media has long since seen no positive news about him, and his image has long been ruined. So, he won't

Be afraid of these."

…

Isaiah Thomas is indeed a dead pig who is not afraid of boiling water. When the deal was officially submitted to the league and passed quickly, he opened a bottle of champagne at home and sprayed it everywhere in his living room.

He has long lost trust in Stephon Marbury, the so-called son of New York, and their relationship has long since broken down. They have not spoken to each other for three months.

So, why not get a new coxswain?

A good point guard is the key to making a dead game come alive.

He used this reason to convince James Dolan.

James Dolan favors Isaiah Thomas even more than Donnie Walsh could have imagined, when Walsh suggested that "this trade will probably prevent us from making adjustments through the draft for the next two years."

But James Dolan's answer was: "There is an element of gambling in any deal. I still believe in Isaiah."

At that time, Walsh even had some doubts about the special relationship between the two people. Why did this guy make the team's locker room a mess, the team's record plummeted, and the salary space was in a mess? They had to pay luxury tax every year, and even had to pay him court fees.

He received a huge amount of hush money from a foreign settlement, but you still trust him so much?

How deep is this love? Whose heart does the moon in New York represent?

…

Kobe Bryant was furious in Memphis.

Before the trade was officially announced, he and Eddie Griffin pushed each other on the court and were both ejected from the court.

Immediately afterwards, when he got the news of Bruce's trade in the locker room, he started smashing the chairs in the visiting team's locker room.

Then, he called Kupchak, Jim Buss and Jerry Buss.

He seemed very angry and rude, and even asked: Why don't you trade me away together?

But in the end, Jerry Buss, who had watched him grow up, convinced him. His reason was simple: he wanted to live to see the Lakers win another championship.

This reason was so powerful that Kobe Bryant quickly calmed down, and then he began to slowly accept this fact.

Then, he and Phil Jackson seriously discussed the matter.

After Phil Jackson realized that Bruce's departure was a foregone conclusion, he comforted him: Pau Gasol's comprehensive skills will be the most suitable inside partner for you. He can seamlessly connect the triangle offense. We do have a chance to hit the championship this season.

Championship trophy.

Kobe finally said nothing.

But Eddie Griffin had already complained loudly after the game: "Kobe Bryant has no tolerance for others. He found that the combination of me, Bruce Lee, and Kwame Brown was extremely powerful, so he used his energy to kick us away.

"

Griffin looked very excited.

His remarks were quickly corroborated by the media, who believed that what he said was very reasonable. After all, in the media's labeling system, Kobe Bryant was an intolerable parochialist.

This left Kobe Bryant speechless.

But no matter what, the three-party transaction is a foregone conclusion.

Bruce took off his Lakers jersey and ran from the West Coast to New York with no room for maneuver.

And this shock bomb also plunged the alliance into a long-lasting shock.

No one thought that the Lakers would actually make such a deal, and no one thought that the Knicks would be willing to pay such a high price to acquire Li Zhen.

In all the comments, everyone thinks that Jerry West made enough of the difference as a middleman.

And Isaiah Thomas is like the last taker in the MLM system, the bomb will explode in his hands.

However, everyone is used to Thomas's actions anyway: since he joined the Knicks, he has never made a profitable deal, let alone signed a value-for-money signing.

But what is surprising is that Michael Jordan, who was belatedly aware of the deal, actually beat his chest and beat his chest. He blatantly lost his temper in front of the media: The Lakers really want to trade Bruce Lee? Why didn't anyone inform me? We can give

Give me more chips!!!
