Build a Dream Dynasty

Chapter 824 George Goes Home

For the Warriors, it is a bit humiliating to make this deal. After all, they took Curry in for George. Green was just an addition to the George-Curry deal, but now, it has become The Nets traded back the main body of George.

In 12 years, the Nets traded George for Curry, Barnes, and Green. In 18 years, they traded Green, Covington, Brogdon, and the Eagles' 18-year pick for George. In other words, Covington, Brogdon, the Hawks signed Curry and Barnes in the first round of 2018. . . . . .

If you count that the Nets exchanged Barnes for the draft pick to select Porzingis, more than half of the Nets' current strong lineup started with that deal.

Getting George through a trade without losing Curry, Leonard, and Porzingis is acceptable for Stevens. The team's offensive power in the wing position has been further enhanced, and the burden on Curry has been slightly lowered. When fighting against James and Durant, both offense and defense can be improved more significantly.

Miles himself initially agreed to the deal. For the Warriors, the next task is to find a third party willing to accept Green's contract. may be involved in the transaction.

This will have a relatively negative impact on the Nets' subsequent ALL IN Doncic, but Jiang Mingliang is not worried. George joins the Nets. If the team runs smoothly, the three consecutive championships are really not very big for the Nets. Difficult, what is Doncic compared to a dynasty with 5 crowns in 6 years?

Soon, a team willing to accept Covington's contract appeared, and the Jazz, which had been strong for some years, was willing to send a first round to get Covington.

The Jazz has been regarded as the strongest second-tier team in recent years. In the past three years, they have reached the finals once, the Western Conference finals once, and the Western Conference semifinals once. Voss and Gobert's starting lineup can be called a five-door match, but the team structure is relatively tough and not very flexible, which also limits their combat effectiveness. The painful adjustment is Favors at the power forward position, Covington can do nothing, and it is still a super high-quality basic salary contract, which is perfect for the Jazz. It is very worthwhile to be able to trade him for a pick at the end of the first round with a high probability.

With the Jazz willing to use the draft pick to take over Covington, and the Nets making up for the 17-year first-round pick and the 20-year first-round pick swap rights, the three-way deal finally took shape, and the Nets passed Bleeding completed another upgrade of the lineup, forming a terrifying lineup of Curry, George, Leonard, and Porzingis!

The Nets and the Warriors reached a deal, and George, who got the exact news, couldn't wait to post a short video of his crazy celebration on TIKTOK, announcing that he was going home soon!

The Warriors fans were furious and denounced him as Judas under their account!

The Lakers fans and Clippers fans are stunned, and there seems to be no news that the trade negotiations between their respective teams and the Warriors are progressing well.

In the end, Yahoo's WOJ announced the content of the transaction after many inquiries.

The Nets sent Dream Chaser Green, Covington, Brogdon, the Eagles' 18-year first-round pick, the Nets' 17-year first-round pick, and the right to swap the 20-year first-round pick, etc., from the Warriors. George.

Although it was already known that George was leaving, when the trade target was announced as the Nets, it still aroused great repercussions in the league.

No wonder George is so happy, this deal directly brought the NBA into the finale!

The Nets fans are crazy. Although they have been blowing Brogdon on social media for almost two months, what is it compared to George? This is a top 10 player in the league! What? Has the team's bench strength weakened? What Jiang Mingliang is best at is Taobao, not to mention the Olympics this year! Weak power forward position? Reinforce it through trading!

The fans thought pretty well, but the fact is that when Jiang Mingliang planned to exchange Royce O'Neal's high-quality contract for a qualified power forward, no team was willing to take over his trading plan. Everyone would rather watch the Nets being tossed to death by the weakness of the power forward position than become an accomplice in helping the Nets achieve a dynasty!

The Warriors management is also being scolded, but their fans did not attribute the responsibility to the team itself, but tried to analyze the situation and believed that the team made the most correct choice in theory.

In 2017 and 2018, it was considered to be a good year in the draft, and the draft pick of the Eagles is likely to play a relatively large role. Green is indeed Curry's pendant on the offensive end, but he is second in dpoy on the defensive end. Isn't he hugging Curry's thigh? Moreover, Green, who has a three-year contract of 3,300 yuan, is unlikely to be a garbage contract. With three championship rings in his hand, Green can also bring some different temperament to the Warriors. The Nets' 17-year pick is destined to be at the end of the first round, but who can say what will happen in 4 years after the exchange in 20 years? Among other things, in 12 years, who would have thought that the Lakers failed to make the playoffs in the past four years and were slaughtered by the Nets every year?

To comfort myself, the Warriors fans can still accept the situation in front of them. If they want to blame, blame George.

Of course, the Lakers fans jumped the most at this stage. You must know that George is well-known as Comey, and he came to the Lakers by name. Terminate the transaction directly. To make matters worse, George was sent to New York. If it is another team, then the Lakers fans still have confidence that George will come back in two years, but the Nets? Jiang Shixiao, Jiang Mingliang and his son's current financial resources have surpassed Paul Allen, and they have come to the second place in the boss' financial resources, second only to Ballmer. And with ByteDance, Tesla's development potential is very likely to continue to soar in the future, and the luxury tax is nothing to him!

The Lakers during the rebuilding period were at most just fans scolding their mothers. On the Clippers side, Rivers directly expressed his strong dissatisfaction through the media, and even complained that the league did not control this kind of "robbery" behavior.

Rivers has always been a big mouth. He hugged the big three thighs and won a championship. After becoming the "championship coach", he is full of attributes of a winner in life. However, within the Clippers, there have been voices of dissatisfaction with him. If he fails to achieve any good results, he may face the crisis of dismissing get out of class anytime, anywhere. At this time, the Nets formed such a BUG-like lineup, which is a good opportunity for him to divert conflicts. Deep in my heart, I am afraid that I am more grateful to the Nets.

After the transaction was completed, the Nets' lineup also changed.

PG: Curry, VanVleet

SG: Joe Johnson, Royce O'Neal

SF: Leonard, George,

PF: West

C: Porzingis, Wood

Although the "Big Four" have been formed, the quality of other players is really appalling. Except for Joe Johnson who is reliable and Royce O'Neal who is a qualified rotation player, West can be used for a short time. 16 minutes is basically free. Wood and Van Vleet are both low-level players in the league. They cannot give too much hope in a short period of time. Even if Jiang Mingliang knows that the two will achieve something in the future, he is sure that it will take a long time for them to play. a period of cultivation.

Since the free agent market has gone through several layers of screening, most of the suitable players have already been selected. Signing players among the remaining players is tantamount to panning for gold, but there is no way, this is a price for forcing the formation of the Big Four.

Think about the Warriors in history, in addition to the so-called dead five, only Livingston, Nick Young, and Rooney are considered suitable players. Pachulia has no way to adapt to the NBA without those dirty moves. Others were even worse. The Nets suffered more or less from the fact that George applied for a trade too late, otherwise, with Jiang Mingliang's vision, they would still be able to select suitable players.

Mining the bottom players is Jiang Mingliang's forte. Stevens just put forward his needs for other players in the roster. As for how to discover them, it depends on Jiang Mingliang's ability.

Yi Jianlian, who has played for the Nets for several years and has performed well in the CBA in the past few years, is first of all a popular candidate to join the Nets. In the current situation, Yi Jianlian joining the Nets may not be just a substitute player. He may even temporarily serve as a fake starter at the team's power forward position.

Jason Thompson, who had a good performance in the Kings and was focused on training, but eventually disappeared from everyone, Josh Smith, who played worse and worse in the Raptors in the past two years, Hansbrough, the former white monster, and the former Lakers The team's insider Kelly is within the scope of the Nets' trial training. It's a bit scary to say, but the current Nets are really robbing the CBA!

Royce O'Neal exchanged Siakam, Royce O'Neal exchanged Harrell, if it was placed before the formation of the Big Four, the transaction would definitely be possible, but at this stage, the Raptors and Rockets all chose to refuse, and will never help the Nets Make up for the strong forward position!

The Nuggets are willing to help the Nets. They offered to trade and offered Farried in exchange for Royce O'Neal.

Faried's strength is not bad, but it doesn't match the Nuggets' current team building core Jokic's style of play. The Nuggets are determined to build a team around Jokic. Faried has 3 years left. The 37.5 million contract became the object they had to deal with.

Not suitable for Jokic, the contract is too big, that's all. The salary space of the Nets can still be swallowed. The key is that Faried's own strength is average. Faried's height is very disadvantaged in the interior, and he relies heavily on his athletic ability and explosive power. As a short interior, he has no low-post skills and no shooting ability. There is no scoring method other than grabbing offensive rebounds and second offense, and the defensive end is not his strong point.

This three-year contract of 37.5 million yuan is completely a garbage contract, smelly and long. If the Nets choose to eat him to fill the powerful forward position, it would be tantamount to drinking poison to quench their thirst. Jiang Mingliang vetoed the deal without hesitation.

The reinforcement of the power forward position is still under investigation. The Nets took the lead in adding a point guard candidate. Veteran Livingston returned to the team with a one-year contract worth 1.5 million US dollars, which opened the Nets' recall. The prologue of the old general.

This point guard player seems to have a special bond with the Nets. When he was in the Nets, he was a qualified third point guard. Occasionally, he performed well on the flanks, but when he was on other teams, he still couldn't get it. show such a performance. Just like Barea was very good in the Mavericks, but he couldn't show his characteristics in other teams.

The Nets have changed their blood too much this season, and most of them are young people. The timely signing of one or two veterans will also help the team's locker room to avoid chaos. Moreover, Livingston can swing to the wing position, which is also a supplement to the depth of the lineup.
