Build a Dream Dynasty

The team's recent situation is average. Although it is mainly due to injuries, some of its own decline has also been exposed during the season. Fortunately, the timely exposure of the problem also gave Jiang Mingliang, West, and Stevens an opportunity to solve the problem. The team has a loophole in the position of the backup point guard, and it is difficult for a smart woman to cook without rice. In the case of extremely scarce resources, West gave a candidate who he thought he could gamble on, the Timberwolves' Alexei Sher Vader.

Sheved was born in 1988, a Russian, an Eastern European-style combo guard, 198cm tall, but thin, not very good at confrontation, good at using pick-and-roll with the ball to attack and organize, has a sharp breakthrough pace, has a certain range, and has a good athletic ability. The ball has a good sense of rhythm, and the passing is also in place, and because of his height and wide vision, the passing is in place. The disadvantage is that the wingspan is short, the body is thin and needs to be practiced, the defense is relatively reckless, and he likes to gamble steals.

If Willie Green and McCollum are both forced to be "combo guards" because of their size, and they are out-and-out shooting guards in their bones, then Sheved is just the opposite. He is the absolute ball organizer in the team. After coming to the NBA, because of the height problem, at the same time the team's main training object is Rubio, but Sheved is more on the top of the shooting guard, which highlights his weak physical resistance.

He also has some personality problems with the Russian. He is not reused by the head coach Adelman in the team, and the relationship between Sheved and the old coach has become relatively normal, which also makes the Timberwolves willing to sell this name in the trading market. International players, and the asking price is not high.

The Nets can be regarded as the current NBA lineup, a team with serious internationalization. Fernandez, Yi Jianlian, Boban, and Prigioni are from overseas, and there have been no major conflicts. In West's view, the team's locker room can accommodate Sheved.

After obtaining the consent of head coach Stevens, Jiang Mingliang began to try to operate the deal.

This season, under the circumstances of the team's average performance, Jiang Mingliang has been doing nothing. Another part of the reason is that the team's salary has exceeded the luxury tax threshold, and the transaction operation is more restricted. Sheved's two-year contract of 7 million yuan, the Nets must free up at least 3.1 million US dollars in salary to balance the deal. One of Yi Jianlian and Boban needs to be used as a bargaining chip to balance the contract, and Prigioni will be added to the deal.

There is no doubt that sending Yi Jianlian away will definitely affect the popularity of the Nets in China, which has been confirmed countless times in the past. However, competitive performance is above market development, which has always been the principle of Jiang Mingliang's team management. Moreover, Yi Jianlian cannot stay in the Nets forever, and this day will come sooner or later.

Jiang Mingliang was ready to lose Yi Jianlian and made an offer to the Timberwolves. However, the Timberwolves' goal for the season was not that bad. They were not so interested in Yi Jianlian and Prigioni. They still hoped to strengthen the team's lineup. They took a fancy to the North Carolina black Jaynes, who was slowly trained by the Nets this season.

This season, Barnes had a bad start, but after Leonard was injured and he was put on the starting lineup, he started to play, and the improvement in all aspects is quite obvious. In addition to talent, Adelman pays more attention to the tactical execution of players. In this regard, Barnes is still very much in line with Adelman's intentions.

Jiang Mingliang would definitely not agree to exchange the team's second-year small forward for the opponent's combo guard. Even if the Timberwolves offered to exchange the Wolves' own draft picks for the Nets' two low-ranked picks, Jiang Mingliang was not very willing. It is true that the Timberwolves' pick has a high probability of being a lottery pick. But the Nets do not have Barnes, who will play small forward in the next two months? Hill, James Johnson or Fernandez?

Jiang Mingliang was a little reluctant, but West's side insisted on promoting the deal. After all, once the deal is concluded, the team has a high probability of having a relatively high draft pick in this season's draft year. As for the position of the small forward, the scope of the transaction can be expanded by bringing in a third-party team.

In today's league, what is most indispensable is a viable wing and a small combo guard. Together, Jiang Mingliang and West quickly found a suitable candidate, Crowder of the Mavericks.

Like Barnes and Chasing Dream Green, Crowder also entered the league in the 2012 draft. In the Mavericks, he also won a certain amount of playing time with his own efforts and became an important member of the team's rotation. This season, he averaged 4.8 points in 16 minutes of playing time per game, and his performance was quite satisfactory.

Before the start of last season, Jiang Mingliang sold face to Bledsoe, and a draft pick was given to a main point guard of the Mavericks. Bledsoe also successfully helped the Mavericks reach the playoffs. Favor. In addition, Cuban also intends to handle the relationship with the Nets. After some calculations, the three-party agreement was basically reached. The Nets sent Barnes, Prigioni, the team's first-round pick in 2014, and the second-round pick Quan, the Mavericks' 14-year first-round pick, got Sheved, Claude, and Timberwolves' 14-year first-round pick. The Timberwolves sent the team's 14-year first-round pick, and Sheved, got Barnes, the Mavericks' 14-year first-round pick, and the Nets' 14-year second-round pick. The Mavericks sent Crowder and got Prigioni, the Nets' 14-year first-round pick.

The Nets have promoted the team's next pick. According to Jiang Mingliang's judgment, even if the Timberwolves are strengthened, it will be difficult to make the playoffs. The team can use the Timberwolves' pick to finalize Porzingis. Barnes' relegation to Crowder is of course a loss, but after all, it is only a relegation of the backup small forward position. When Leonard returns, the team's main lineup will not be weakened in any way. The Mavericks traded a rotation player for a draft-year pick. Considering that the Nets' lineup has weakened in the past three months, there is a high probability that the regular season results will be affected a little, so it may not necessarily be the end of the first round. As for the Timberwolves, they upgraded the team's small forward position with a combo guard that the team doesn't need. The enhanced team strength will increase the team's confidence in making the playoffs. It looks like this will be another win-win deal.

Of course, the opponents of the Nets this season, the Heat and the Thunder, are happy to see this deal. At least on paper, the Nets have weakened, haven't they?

Sheved and Claude came to New York with great joy and accepted the team's physical examination. The results of the physical examination of the two were not unexpected. After the physical examination was completed, the two players officially became the new players of the Nets. Together, the team is working towards the championship.
