NBA beast center

Zhu Holiday is a former teammate of the Beast. The two were teammates with the 76ers for a season at the time, and they still keep in touch until now.

Maybe many people don't know that he is the first "post-90s All-Star player" in the NBA!
However, what many people don't know is that so far in his career, he has only been selected as an All-Star once...

2017年7月1日，鹈鹕队和他达成续约协议。7月7日，双方正式签约，合同为期5年价值1.31亿美元。

Marx seemed to have discovered the new world, and said to the beast in surprise: "Zhu has both offense and defense, and has also been selected as an All-Star. He is only 28 years old this year, and he meets our requirements!"

Beast smiled and nodded. Indeed, Max is very smart, almost too smart. With such a general manager working for the team, as a leader, it is really much easier.

Marx went on to say: "AD filed a trade application. He has such a strong desire to leave the team. The relationship between the Pelicans and him has broken down. It is almost impossible to force him to stay. I heard that he wants to go to Los Angeles to join forces with LeBron. Look at the current news. Judging from the comments, the reliability of this rumor is very high. Los Angeles has a big market he yearns for, and there is LeBron. The most important point is that LA is one of the few teams in the league that can provide him with bargaining chips."

The Beast gave Max a thumbs up. The general manager was right in his analysis.

"Once AD ​​is put on the shelves, the Pelicans are bound to enter a rebuilding period, so the 28-year-old Zhu, who is carrying a contract of [-] million yuan, does not mean much to them. Originally, Zhu was used to assist AD. Yes, AD is gone, keeping him will only affect the growth of young players, why not take advantage of his high trading value to get more future assets." Beast said.

Max said excitedly: "Then I'll go ask Qi Zhu!"

Beast nodded: "Now you know why I asked you to ask AD first?"

Max understood, and kept saying: "I know, I know! Mr. Shou, you are really amazing!"

Marx really admired it from the bottom of his heart. The beast's trick is very unique, and it is very suitable for the current situation.Obviously knowing that there is no chance to change the thick eyebrows, he deliberately asked the price of the thick eyebrows, and successfully got on the line with the Pelicans management.In fact, the purpose behind it is not thick eyebrows, but Zhu Holiday.

Those who don't know think that the Nets are the next best thing, so that they won't be ripped off by others like rushing to take the initiative to make an offer.

This trick "drunkards don't want to drink" can save the Nets a lot of communication costs, and it can also make the other party unable to guess their true intentions.

Although Marx had bid for the All-Stars of many teams before, he did not quote Jrue Holiday, because the Pelicans were unlikely to be willing to trade the holiday brother who had just signed a big contract before the thick eyebrows applied for a trade.

Beast is very excited to have the opportunity to get Holiday. You must know that although Holiday is not a superstar, and he has only been selected as an All-Star once in his career, his strength is absolutely leveraged.The combination of offense and defense alone is pitifully rare among NBA backcourt players.

The defense of the general backcourt combo guards is a problem, and Holiday was just selected for the league's first defense last season. He is about 1 meters tall and can even defend against James. There is no problem at all against the general 9rd position. On the defensive end His ability is worth 3 million.

Not to mention that he still has good offensive ability, can dominate the ball, can organize, and has a good personality.

Beast and Holiday have been teammates before, and they are very familiar with each other, and the tacit understanding should not be a problem.

The question now lies in the attitude of the Pelicans, whether they are really willing to trade Holiday, or whether they will open their mouths and offer bargaining chips like trading thick eyebrows.

The fact is that bad teams don't want a player like Holiday, because he is 28 years old and his age is not dominant.And in terms of personal strength, he does not have the strength to become the cornerstone of the team.He is a second- and third-level leader, a top support, but not a core.

If you think his transaction value can be compared with thick eyebrows, it is because you think that no one in the market will make such an offer.

Beast is still very confident in getting Holiday, because he knows very well that the teams that want to get Holiday are all trying to compete for the championship.And these teams, the bargaining chips that can be released are actually very limited.

Balancing alone is not easy to do, and most teams can't afford players with 2000 million contracts.If this player is a premium contract, why should the Pelicans help you deal with it?
Moreover, the number of first-round picks on hand in general strong teams is insufficient, and the value of first-round picks is not high, so young people with value and potential are still needed.

In order to compete for the championship, the strong teams must not have many potential stocks in the formation. If they are young and ready to fight, they will not be really willing to sell so easily.

The Nets now have an expiring contract with Howard on hand, multiple first-round picks, and potential young people Dinwiddie, LeVille, and Joe Harris. These chips are not enough to exchange for thick eyebrows. It's very competitive.

The Beast made a little assessment of the current bargaining chips of each NBA team. Among the strong teams, only the Celtics can offer a better bargaining chip than the Nets!
For other teams, if they don't have core lineup members, they can't compare with the Nets' bargaining chips.

The Celtics have a better bargaining chip. They have a double pick and Tatum, but will they really play one of these two for Holiday?

It is obviously impossible, let alone Holiday's potential is not as good as them, the Celtics already have Smart with similar attributes to Holiday.

The Celtics' idea of ​​getting thick eyebrows is very practical, because their inside line has always been a weakness.

The thick-browed beast also wants it!But the problem is that what you want and whether you can get it are two different things.

It's like many otaku YY Fatty become their girlfriends, but the possibility of their dreams come true is infinitely close to winning the lottery.

Max was very efficient, and quickly fed back the wishes of the Pelicans to the Beast.

The Pelicans management does have the willingness to sell Holiday!This is of course good news for the Nets!
This is very important. If you are not willing, no matter how much chips I have on my side, it will be difficult for everyone to discuss transactions at the negotiating table.

Just like Thick Eyebrow, if he hadn't submitted a trade application himself, even if you are willing to pay more chips, the Pelicans probably won't bird you.

Now it’s about the bargaining chip. The Pelicans will definitely shop around and won’t be foolish enough to only talk to you, the Nets. Therefore, you shouldn’t pay too much at the beginning, and reserve a back hand for later bidding.

All these things are handed over to the Beast's team. Marx's ability in this area is still very good, and he doesn't make his own claims. He is very obedient, and the Beast is quite satisfied.
