Chapter 430 Transaction Signing (Adding Updates for Brother Yun)

After finishing the draft plan, Su Yang relaxed and rested all night, and rushed to the Kings training base again early the next morning.

Sam Hinkie had arrived ahead of time, still wearing a suit and tie, and his leather shoes were so shiny that he looked like a professional elite.

Su Yang was dressed casually in jeans and a T-shirt. The two teased each other about what they were wearing, and walked into the office laughing all the way.

"According to the plan, today we need to discuss the renewal of players in the team and the topic of potential candidates in the free market..."

Hinkie sat across the long table and opened the schedule in his hands, "First of all, it's about guard Tyreke Evans."

Su Yang put down the water glass slowly, "Try to sign first and then change. It's best to get a point guard with a relatively high IQ. When the time comes, Isaiah Thomas will take turns with different lineups. It's best not to have too long a contract, which is convenient." Compete with Curry later."

Sending away Tyreke Evans is a helpless move.

You must know that Evans was 20+5+5 in the first year, the data is comparable to LeBron at the same time, and he won the best rookie in 09.

Who ever thought that the first year of Evans' rookie was the peak of his career, and the data in the next three years with the Kings became worse and worse.

The reason is that the Kings management and the coaching staff made a few blind arrangements, playing point guard in the early stage and shooting guard in the later stage, and indeed also played small forward, but only a few games, not rumored to change positions every season, the core is still Evan As a breakthrough point guard, Si also lacks shooting. His explosive power and speed are far inferior to Westbrook. He cannot make a real final decision and can be replaced.

Other teams didn't target much in their rookie year, and they enjoyed free throw bonuses in the small ball market of the Kings, so they were able to play that kind of data.

Evans was later plagued by plantar fasciitis injuries, and like Curry, he had an ankle injury, which led to a sharp drop in explosive power, a serious drop in breakthrough speed and threat, and further magnified shooting defects, which caused worse and worse statistics. .

But those problems are not fatal. What really made Evans sink completely is his own mentality, unwilling and unable to get out of his comfort zone. After breaking through in his rookie season, he connected with European steps and twisted layups, received many praises, and then went crazy use.

When other players in the league saw more, they consciously defended his European step and twisted layups, and he became too dependent on turning and breaking through. In short, he refused to practice shooting, but he dared to shoot, which was better than Simmons, whose number of shots has declined for four consecutive years. better.

All kinds of reasons are intertwined, making Evans a typical injured Zhongyong. After many years, he finally saw signs of a second career in his career. As a result, he was found to have violated the anti-drug regulations and was banned by the league for two years. He completely lost the possibility of turning over. sex.

Looking back, Su Yang will build a space system in the new season to create more opportunities for Antetokounmpo, who is bound to be selected, and also to make room for the free market this year and next year. There is no reason to keep Evans. Sign first and then Changing is the best choice.

"I have several potential trading proposals here..."

Su Yang took the document in Sam Hinkie's hand, glanced at it quickly, and accidentally found that the document was written last night.

It should be specially written overtime, quite diligent.

"Vazquez of the Pelicans is very good. I noticed it last season. In the absence of Eric Gordon, he can average 9.5+ assists per game and average 13+ points per game. A fast-improving player competitor, unfortunately the three-point shooting rate is low, but there is only one year left on the contract, if you can exchange for a future first-round pick, you can trade with the Pelicans..."

Su Yang vaguely remembered that the king originally traded Evans and Pelicans for Vazquez, but the general manager of the king in his previous life was too anxious to exchange one-on-one. Ask the Pelicans for a first-round pick.

Even if the first round is not available, at least the second round is needed, but the general manager of the Kings at the time actually chose to swap the second-round picks!
"Then I will give a qualification offer first, let Tyreke Evans become a restricted free agent..." Sam Hinkie wrote down the record, the main qualification offer must be after the finals - before June 6 Give without delay.

Su Yang continued to look through Hinkie's documents, and found that there was a mention of how to deal with Patrick Patterson, John Salmons, Chuck Hayes, three contracts that are about to expire, with a space of nearly 1600 million US dollars, and the mark is needed have a discussion.

"We can exchange a handful of small change for a big bill, but don't pay extra, you know what I mean? Just go to the teams that need to get rid of the big contracts and exchange some players who are still capable, preferably You can also engage in draft picks..."

Su Yang turned on the computer casually, logged into the NBA data website basketball-reference, and found the personal information of Richard Jefferson, Rudy Gay and other players, "For example, these guys' 14-year contracts expired, and they can also provide combat power to hit the playoffs. .”

According to Su Yang's expectation, if he traded to get Richard Jefferson, it would be a good deal, and it would be more profitable to switch to Guy, so as to avoid becoming the king of the previous life. He didn't trade to Guy until after 13 losses and 5 wins in the season. At that time, the record had already been affected. Great impact.

In general, the direction of several transactions of the previous king in the 13-14 season was okay, but the execution of the details was too rough.

"I see what you mean..."

Sam Hinkie nodded, "I will try my best to operate Richard Jefferson and Rudy Gay, as well as some players whose contracts have expired, such as Tony Douglas, James Johnson, and Cole Aldridge."

Hearing the name James Johnson, Su Yang immediately thought of the scene of Ibaka being hammered, and after thinking for a while, he smiled: "James Johnson can offer a basic salary contract to keep him, that guy is a boxing expert, we need him.

As for the other two, let them go with blessings. The team has no place for them, and they are not suitable for our tactical system. "

Hinkie continued to write down the record, and continued to say: "How is Jason Thompson positioned? He signed a five-year $5 million contract last offseason. He served as a power forward or center in the team. Last game, he averaged 3000 points and 10.9 rebounds per game. , averaging 6.7 turnovers and 1.2 fouls per game, has not suffered serious injuries in his career so far, and lacks mid-range and long-range shots..."

Hearing the name of the CBA rebounding champion, Su Yang suddenly felt pain. Jason Thompson said that he was 57.9 feet tall and could play low-post offense, but his shooting and free throws were not stable, especially free throws. At one point, he made [-]% of his field goals. He was not fast enough to defend against big forwards. , The defense center is not strong enough.

People are quite diligent, but unfortunately the effect is too small.

"Position him as a substitute, look for opportunities to trade, and get a second-round draft pick. The 5-year 3000 million contract is too much to affect our future signing of big-name players in the free market. Jeff Petrie is considered to have opened up that contract. It's crazy to meet later. Blame him."

Su Yang shook his head and smiled bitterly, and continued: "Find a way to sign a starting-level power forward in the free market. He can run more complicated tactics, has good mid-range and long-range shooting capabilities, and can be responsible for opening up space in the tactical system. 3-year contract optimal."

Hinkie suggested casually: "How about Paul Millsap? Yesterday I just talked about him rejecting the contract offered by the Jazz and entering the free market. He averaged 14.6 points per game last season, and his overall shooting percentage was 49%. 42%…”

Su Yang recalled briefly, and then slapped his thigh to applaud.

Millsap is indeed an excellent choice. In the 12-13 season of the previous life, due to the chaotic management of the Jazz and the manipulation of the head coach, Millsap's career fell into a trough, so that after the free market opened, he signed with the Eagles for 2 million in 1900 years.

Now, for such a great opportunity, the Kings have to compete, they can give more money, and they can also have the ball guaranteed.

"Then I'll contact Millsap's agent later." Hinkie was a little excited to see the proposal fully approved.

The two talked about the training and positioning of Thomas Jr., as well as the trial training arrangements in the next few days, and then ended the daily routine talks.

Su Yang got up for a walk, and turned on his mobile phone to check the news. He suddenly saw Mike Brown announcing his return to the Cavaliers as the head coach, and the Lakers were about to choose Mike D'Antoni or Byron Scott as the new head coach. Things became a little subtle.
