Chapter 315 Low-Key Support! Deluxe Battleship Upgrade

"Trade me!" Billups told Nuggets general manager Ujiri.

Sadness is greater than death, and Billups can no longer see any hope in this Nuggets.

Ujiri was stunned at first, but then he also figured it out. Anyway, they decided to rebuild, so why keep Billups? Let him go, Ujiri decided to make a favor, "Where do you want to go?"

Billups was also dumbfounded. To be honest, he really didn't think about going there.

"Go to a team that can compete for a championship! Thank you!" Billups said.

Billups was also young and frivolous. He thought he could turn Anthony's prodigal son back, but there was no way. Anthony's obsession was too strong. If the Nuggets continued to fight like this, it would definitely be useless.

Billups believes that Anthony will understand some truths in the future, but Billups is no longer young, and he can't accompany Anthony through this period of growth.

...

"Sorry...we don't need any deals right now." Are you kidding me? I won't offend Lin Yi at this point in time, Donnie Walsh hung up Ujiri's call decisively.

And this time, Ujiri was in trouble.

Billups is 34 years old this year. The data of 14.7 points and 4.9 assists per game this season are too low-key. There are a lot of starting guards in the league who can play this data, so Nuggets general manager Ujiri made inquiries , found that Billups' contract was a big problem.

Billups is interested in some strong teams, but where do these strong teams come from?

The main thing is a veteran whose trade value is much lower than many young potential players, which is the consensus of the league uniform group.

If Billups' contract is an expiring contract, some weak teams may trade him and then waive him, but Billups' contract will not expire until 12 years, which is very embarrassing. .....

It's impossible for Ujiri to give Billups away for nothing, right? Even if you give it away for nothing, you have to give us something!

In Lin Yi's previous life, Anthony and Billups, in fact, the Nuggets got the most valuable is Gallinari and Wilson Chandler, as well as a 2014 draft pick and two second-round picks from the Knicks.. ....

You must know that Melon was the starting small forward in the Western Conference during this period. If you look at it aside... Billups is more like a cheap sale of the Nuggets to the Knicks.

No way, the team that wants Billups doesn't want to spend a lot of money. This is the most embarrassing part of Billups' contract, so Ujiri called Donnie Walsh.

Because the Knicks have cap space.

"Hey...how can I explain this to Chauncey?" Ujiri has a headache, Billups has made it clear that he wants to leave, and the Nuggets are distracted.

...

"Huh? Wait..." Donnie Walsh, who hung up Ujiri's phone, suddenly remembered something. He took out his notebook, which contained Lin Yigan that Javier Stanford had told him. A list of targets of interest.

It happened to have Billups in it.

Donny Walsh took a deep breath, mustered up the courage to call Lin Yi.

"Hello, Mr. General Manager."

Listening to Lin Yi's amiable tone, Donny Walsh heaved a sigh of relief, "Lin, the Nuggets want to trade Billups with us."

Lin Yi on the other end of the phone was stunned.

aha?

what......

"Are you sure Billups is the only one?" Lin Yi held his breath.

"Yes, Lin," said Donny Walsh.

"What chips do they want?" Lin Yi asked.

"Our first-round pick in 2013 or 2014, plus two role players," Donnie Walsh said.

Puchi, dare to love the Nuggets, this is a big sale?

Lin Yi quickly analyzed a wave in his mind.

Because the flag he planted must be obeyed, so first of all, is the trade of Billups considered a group?

Of course not, Billups is just a 34-year-old veteran,

And his statistics are extremely low-key, but his unpretentious style of play is exactly what the Knicks need.

If Lin Yi remembers correctly, 10/11 and 11/12 were the last two seasons Billups played relatively well, and if Lin Yi's summer plan is successful, next year's helper also needs a mentor, Just perfect to succeed Billups.

D'Antoni is also worried about the No. 1 position of the Knicks. After all, Livingston's playing time is limited, and Lu Wei can only be used as a master of chaos. If he does not share the pressure of Lin Yi's organization, the Knicks' championship can only be a fantasy .

Billups has won the FMVP. His experience is just a supplement to this young Knicks. He is the big heart in the first position, and what is the Knicks most worried about?

It's salary space!

Once the Sharks retire next year, the newcomers selected in the Knicks draft may not be enough to trigger the minimum salary standard. The Knicks are not afraid of Billups' tens of millions of contracts. He will be 36 years old after his contract expires. And next season, he can still be the mentor of that helper. You must know that in Lin Yi's grand blueprint, what the helper lacks most is organization and defense.

Lin Yi remained calm. Billups is a good reinforcement for the Knicks, and he doesn't have to worry about being scolded by the group. The most important thing is that Billups' low-key will not prevent Lin Yi from continuing to build his reputation.

"Donnie, ask which two of our role players the Nuggets want." Lin Yi said to Donnie Walsh.

"No problem!" Donny Walsh was overjoyed. He, the general manager, finally had a place to play, and it sounded like Lin Yi was very happy?

That's great, as long as Lin Yi is happy, Donny Walsh is satisfied.

You know, this kid's energy is really terrible. The boss Dolan was still feeling a few days ago. The money the Knicks made last season was equal to the sum of the previous three seasons... It can make picky, Paranoid New York fans fall in love with him, and this son...  

...

Ujiri felt that he had ushered in a wave of ups and downs. After receiving a call from Donny Walsh, he and Donny Walsh had a bargain.

Ujiri's liver hurts a bit, "I can't make any more concessions, Downey, your first-round pick in 2014, Belinelli plus one of your backup point guards, isn't this too much to ask?"

As soon as Donny Walsh saw Ujiri's bottom line, after using another mobile phone to communicate with Lin Yi through text messages, Donny Walsh agreed to Ujiri's offer.

The Knicks sent: Belinelli, Beverly, the team's first-round pick in 2014.

The Nuggets sent: Billups.

The deal was quickly reported to the league. After learning the news, Stern not only did not object, but passed the plan immediately.

Stern knows that Lin Yi lacks a helper. From this point of view, Stern is definitely a hardcore Kobe, because if Stern thinks that Kobe is too strong, I will shoot...well, of course, then Things are more complicated than that, and it cannot be said exactly that.

Billups is very low-key, and the Knicks lack point guards. The Nuggets and the Knicks hit it off.

After the transaction was completed, Ujiri notified Billups as soon as possible.

"Thank you!" Billups thanked Ujiri and packed his bags to go to New York. He said goodbye to the Nuggets teammates one by one. When he learned that Billups was going to New York, Anthony envied It took a while, but Anthony was not so envious when he thought that he would be able to attack next.

This season, the Knicks' competition for the second and third positions is too fierce. It is not a pity to trade Belinelli. Lin Yi comforted Belinelli, and Belinelli also understood that if he wants to get a good contract, Leaving the Knicks would also be a good choice.

As for Beverly... There is no way, this mad dog will take at least one or two seasons to develop. Lin Yi's mentality has changed, causing the Knicks to need more immediate combat power.

Lin Yi wouldn't become a bitch and set up a memorial archway. In this cruel and ruthless alliance, isn't even himself a bargaining chip on the shelf?

Only when you reach the peak, can you turn your hands into clouds and rain.

Beverly will not be angry, because he is already grateful to Lin Yi for being able to stay in the NBA. It's just that the future is long, but he can't be with you. Mad Dog has a little regret and went to book a plane ticket with Belinelli.

The news that Billups was sent to the Knicks by the Nuggets immediately made those championship teams anxious, because the Knicks have officially joined the championship group this season!

The coaches of these championship groups are not stupid. They know that the weakest link of the Knicks has been upgraded.

The luxurious warship is about to set sail!

...
