What really determines the overall development direction of the team is the actual management of the team, that is, the team owner.

What Walken Dean is encountering now is probably what Billy King also encountered back then: Prokhorov's train of thought.

A rich model called "Chelsea Basketball": throw money and get quick success.

Is this idea wrong?

No, Chelsea is the most successful case.

Back to the Nets, they are about to move to New York. If they can win a championship in a short time, they can quickly win the support of New York fans.

This is true whether it is the history that Lin Ying knows or the environment he is in now.

The Knicks have already won the championship. If the Nets want to find a place in New York, they must not only win the championship, but also do it as quickly as possible.

Otherwise, over time, they will become the second Los Angeles Clippers.

But this idea is also very risky!

History has already given lessons for this.

Moreover, Walken Dean then revealed the purpose of finding Lin Ying, which also verified this point.

"I have identified several candidates, and I want you to see which one you would like to cooperate with more."

Walken Dean said as he said that he had already given him a tablet with some players that the Nets could potentially trade with their existing chips.

1, Joe Johnson.

Expected chips to be sent: Humphries + Anthony Morrow + Petro Farmar + (MarShon Brooks) + (draft pick)

*Represents the possibility of sending it out.

The Hawks are now in a worse situation than the Nets. A bunch of players are supported by big contracts, but the cap has been sealed.

They couldn't beat the Celtics and Cavaliers before, and they can't beat the Knicks and Heat now.

Some people say that every year in the playoffs, wouldn’t it be nice to be lucky enough to still be in the top half?

No, this is the same as eating.

You have been eating instant noodles for a long time, and suddenly you go to eat fast food and feel that the fast food is really delicious, but if you eat too much fast food, you will still feel that you can't eat it.

There are playoffs every year, but there is no hope of winning, and fans will be filled with despair.

In order to rebuild, Johnson, who had just renewed his 6-year contract worth 100 million yuan with the team in 2010, and now has a clear premium, is the first to be dealt with.

2, Monta Ellis

Expected chips to be sent: Farmar + Morrow + 1 first round + Marshon Brooks.

Ellis is the Warriors' scoring leader, but the Warriors' failure to reach the playoffs for consecutive years has made the management lose patience with him.

Especially this past summer when "LOGO Man" Jerry West took over, the team was ready to rebuild around Curry and Thompson, and Ellis has been put on the shelf.

3, Turkoglu

Expected chips to be sent: Humphries + Morrow-(draft picks).

The Magic have completely rebuilt, they have already amnestyed Lewis before, and Turkoglu is a big contract they want to get rid of.

But the "Turkish agents" are actually still capable.

And because Turkoglu's multi-million contract includes three years left in this season, the Magic are even willing to trade in some draft picks.

4,Kevin Martin

Expected chips to be sent: Humphries + Morrow + first-round pick

The Cavaliers' "reluctance" last season turned out to be a joke. Now Martin's role with the Cavaliers is a bit similar to Ricky Davis's back then.

The team was rebuilt around Irving, and Martin was naturally put on the shelf.

…

After reading it, Lin Ying found that it had two characteristics.

First, these contracts really smell like "junk".

If you look at it with your clairvoyance, there really isn't anyone who can hit it.

Although this is reasonable, given the quality of the role players the Nets have, even if the opposing general manager is Billy King, they can't replace them.

Second, Dean Walken is the former best general manager after all, and his trading skills are still online.

The players he selected are all capable of holding the ball and can directly strengthen the Nets' shortcomings.

And in these transactions, he did not use a large number of draft picks or add high-quality young players like Jimmy Butler.

"I don't know much about trading, but I think trading a team's sixth-man player will be less risky."

Lin Ying expressed his views very tactfully.

For example, the 76ers' Lou Williams, the Trail Blazers' Jamal Crawford, and the Warriors' Jack, these attributes are very good.

"That wasn't part of the plan."

Warken Dean said slightly helplessly.

The meaning of this sentence is obvious, and he should have considered it this way, but that was not Prokhorov's plan.

"We still have amnesty clauses to use, so you don't have to worry too much about the possibility of space locking in the future."

Moreover, Walken Dean also added something to Lin Ying.

This is actually very important.

Another thing Billy King did in the Nets that made fans vomit blood was to use the amnesty clause on Outlaw, which was a typical example of overkill.

But now that Warken Dean still holds this clause, it means that no matter who the deal comes from, if it doesn't work, we can consider amnesty.

What, amnesty also costs money? Prokhorov doesn’t care about that!

So in the end Walken Dean looked at Lin Ying and repeated what he said before:
Chapter completed!
