$1,000. The Wildest West Prologue

"Jerry, are we really going to send Kawhi away? His talent..."

"Kawhi is very talented, but his progress is too slow and cannot keep up with Steph's progress. Believe me, Harden is equally talented and improves faster. Don't you see? The Thunder don't care about Harden. Harden can already win the Sixth Man of the Year Award. We focus on cultivating Kawhi. Can he average 18 points per game in three years?"

"But we still have to send Monta away!"

"Isn't that what we planned from the beginning? If the Thunder goes out first, they will trade Kawhi for Harden. If the Grizzlies go out first, they will trade Kawhi for George. Monta's outbreak was also expected by me. Maybe Mark I like him very much, but he and Stephen are not very compatible, and Harden, we have studied his cooperation with Durant many times, and it is better than Westbrook.”

"Are you saying that Monta's outburst was planned by you?"

"Yes, it was planned from the beginning. Our deal with the Bucks will not succeed 100%. They just want to get rid of Bogut's big contract. Bogut is good for us, but we already have haha." Shim, his mobility and defensive effect at the basket are no worse than Bogut. As for physical strength, we don’t need to have a big center in the whole game. We can play like the Spurs.

So I deliberately spread the news that I was going to trade with the Bucks. The offer to the Bucks was for Ilyasova, which they could not possibly give.

Without Monta, who played so well after the All-Star break and led us to ninth place, even if the Thunder didn't despise Harden and we only traded for Kawhi, I think they would just hang up on us unless we added Go to Hashem.

Or we keep Kawhi and trade Monta and Hashim. "

"..." Pete Guber, the Warriors' boss in charge of player operations, was so nervous that he couldn't help but roll his eyes at Jerry West's last words: "Jerry, we finally got Hashim To develop into a qualified defensive pillar, it is impossible to trade him.”

After pausing for a while, Peter Guber continued: "I know that the increase in Monta's transaction value is a probabilistic situation. He was already in negative equity before the All-Star weekend, but I still can't bear to part with it, but Harden really so good?"

"He is a perfect cornerstone player. He is as talented as Lord! Also, he has a very good relationship with Lord. I just received the news that Harden was crying in the lounge. The first call he made was not to Durant, instead call Noah on the phone." As he spoke, Jerry West raised his eyebrows and folded his forehead into three layers. His proud look seemed to be showing off his intelligence network.

"Alas..." Peter Guber sighed: "How long have you been planning this transaction?"

"I've been planning this since we didn't draft Thompson." Jerry West didn't continue to hide it.

"In other words, it is your plan to train Kawhi and let Kawhi show his defensive talents?"

"Of course, we can't lose again this time. We not only want to get a talent with the talent to become one of the five best players in the league, but we also want to use this to wash away the stain that we sent away the lords and let those free agents and more A good head coach knows that we can make good moves, and this time, we can't lose!" Jerry West's last sentence once again emphasized the importance of this deal.

Pete Guber heard Jerry West's unwillingness to lose Sun Ce and Klay Thompson, and understood that this transaction was inevitable, otherwise he would lose this team-building master who was comparable to the Cardinals. .

However, Pete Guber also heard another thing that Jerry West may have revealed accidentally or intentionally, but he did not point it out, but pretended to think deeply for a while.

After a while, Pete Guber said: "I believe you, Jerry, I just feel sad for Monta. You know, he has always been my favorite player. He can go to the Thunder to compete for the championship. I Happy for him too.”

"Of course, I was originally planning to send him to the Thunder to compete for the championship.

We still need a year or two to have the strength to win a championship, so we can't waste time by letting him stay with us. "Jerry West responded.

Pete Guber sent the previously written trade draft to Thunder general manager Presti. At this moment, the verbal agreement was reached.

After showing Jerry West the picture of the email being sent successfully, Pete Guber got up and took out a bottle of champagne from the closet, poured two glasses, and handed one glass to Jerry West.

The two stood up, and they understood each other tacitly. Peter Guber said: "Cheers to our championship dream!"

"cheers!"

At 7 pm on May 26, 2012, Google Sports columnist WOJ broke the news on Twitter that the Thunder and the Warriors reached a verbal agreement, and the Thunder will acquire Monta Ellis and Kawhi Leonard from the Warriors. , the chips given away are James Harden and a draft pick, and the Thunder will form the perimeter trio with the strongest scoring ability in the league.

At the same time, WOJ also gave his own prediction. Currently, the Thunder has only more than 2 million new space left, but Muhammad's contract expires this summer, and the Thunder will give up Muhammad's bird rights when the deal is reached; the more than 4 million space occupied by Nate Robinson, who was not used in the amnesty clause, will also be freed up; Fisher and Daequan Cook may not be renewed; plus Harden's salary of 4.6 million US dollars as the third-year pick this season, the Thunder can easily free up the salary space to eat Monta Ellis's 11 million salary and Leonard's 2.13 million salary before the end of the finals and the opening of the trading window to complete the transaction.

At the same time, Sports Illustrated broke the news that the Thunder only gave Harden a 5-year 40 million contract extension and gave Harden an hour to consider it, because they did not want to pay luxury taxes. Harden tried to ask for a salary of 10 million per year, an extra 2 million per year, but was rejected, and the consideration time was shortened to 30 minutes, and then Harden returned to the lounge of the stadium alone and cried.

ABC TV station then broke the news that the Warriors management regretted wanting to trade Monta Ellis for the Bucks' Ilyasova. They blamed themselves for not using Ellis, who had accompanied the team through many years of lows, as a bargaining chip. Now they hope to send Ellis to a championship-contending team like the Thunder so that Ellis can compete for the championship in his prime.

Thinking of Harden crying for several minutes and not being able to speak clearly, looking at the news that suddenly flooded the screen, Sun Ce was dumbfounded.

James had just scored 47 points, 11 rebounds, 10 assists, 2 blocks and 5 steals in a single game at Madison Square Garden, leading the Heat to a 109-91 victory over the Knicks. Before the news of James' 47+ triple-doubles had been hot for long, the Warriors and Thunder had a verbal trade agreement.

Of course, it was also related to the Thunder's trading Harden. Harden's talent, a talent that he could play on his own even if his parents didn't love him, was actually traded by a team!

Moreover, Harden had almost locked up the best sixth man before the All-Star Weekend. The media went to stir up trouble and asked Harden if he was satisfied with his substitute status and whether he had any complaints about the coaching staff's lack of attention to him. They provoked him many times, but Harden smiled and said every time that he liked his current role and hoped to renew his contract in advance.

Such a player, actually traded?

Maybe in the season that just ended, Ellis is much better than Harden, but Westbrook and Durant are not that old. Both are only 23 years old. There is no problem in waiting for one or two years.

So when the media hyped this matter, it quickly became the hottest topic at the moment. Not only was James' 47+ triple-double drowned out, but the Lakers and Spurs were also robbed of the limelight.

Sun Ce looked at the news that those large media almost concentrated their firepower on in just half an hour. There must be no one behind the scenes to push it!

This completely blocked the Thunder's possible regret, and Harden's crying was exposed.

Even if the Thunder management suddenly came to their senses and wanted to regret tearing up the verbal agreement, they couldn't regret it. This wave of public opinion bombardment directly confirmed the transaction!

Sun Ce didn't need to guess who was pushing this, it must be the LOGO man!

Sun Ce suddenly remembered some of his previous confusion about the Warriors. Why did Ellis encounter such a thing? It turned out to be to increase the transaction value!

Ellis, who played in a strong team, was not a cancer except for his poor defense. The two seasons of 06-08 proved that Ellis could play well in a strong team. After all, he was a Mamba player, and he had strength.

Curry + Harden...

"Damn the logo man, didn't he just rob you of a Klay brother? He actually messed up the situation so much!"

Sun Ce cursed, and then couldn't help laughing.

Such an NBA is so interesting!

What kind of sparks will Ellis and Dewey create? How will Harden and Curry perform?

All of this shocked Sun Ce, but it was so interesting!

Since the NBA is so crazy, the Lakers, Spurs and Bulls are expected to remain in the West next season. Now the Thunder may become very strange. Leonard, a sophomore, is not strong enough for a second defense. In the original time and space, he was still far from a second defense when he was a sophomore in the Spurs, but he is definitely a very good outside single defense player.

Sun Ce remembered that Kevin Martin was originally going to the Thunder, and Ellis was better than Kevin Martin anyway.

And from the beginning, Sun Ce felt that the Warriors could not suppress their rise. After all, they have the logo man, and there are so many NBA talents, and there are plenty of opportunities to operate.

These two teams may be stronger and will pose a threat to their Grizzlies, but Sun Ce thought about it and realized that it was not just them who were threatened. The Lakers, Spurs and Bulls may also meet these two teams in the playoffs.

Thinking of this, Sun Ce was actually happy to see such a situation.

Let the NBA become more chaotic! Let the West become wilder!

As for meeting these two teams in the playoffs... let's meet them! Sun Ce was originally very interested in playing against them, and now he is even more excited!
