Chapter 162 Paul George
Chapter 162 Paul George
Those who want to renew their contracts are negotiating to renew their contracts, and the players who should be put on the shelves are put on the shelves.
But before these tasks are completed, there is another very important thing, and that is the draft.
The Timberwolves have three draft picks this summer, their own No. 27 and No. 57 picks, and the No. 16 pick that originally belonged to the Bobcats from the Nuggets.
Zhang Sixin thinks about the players in this year, and feels that these few picks are a little bit weak. They can pick good players, but they still feel that they are not good enough.
While he put Jefferson and Brewer on the shelves, he also let David Kahn seek a high-signal deal.
All three of their picks are tradeable, as are the players on the shelf.
If there are other particularly good deals, it may actually be considered, but the probability of this happening is too small.
After the two players were put on the shelves, the feedback from the market was still very strong. After all, the Timberwolves had an excellent record this season. Jefferson was the team's main player and the Timberwolves' first scoring point in the low post. Brewer was also their main rotation player.
Especially Jefferson, there are not many insiders with low-post ability in the league now, and many teams are actively asking for prices.
For example, the Warriors who had an idea last season, the Thunder who want to be inside, the Jazz who is more active with Boozer, and the Mavericks who are extremely dissatisfied with the team's naive insider.
However, most teams don't have the bargaining chips the Timberwolves want.
The high-level pick is the Timberwolves' first choice, and the other is the first-round pick, good young people, or expiring contracts.
Of course, someone is willing to trade a suitable All-Star, and the Timberwolves can also take young players and draft picks.
The Warriors have a No. 6 pick this year, and they all need to consider it. Other teams are willing to give it to the first-round pick, but the pick is not very good.
For teams like the Jazz and the Mavericks, two first-round picks are fine, but their first-round picks are much better than the Timberwolves. Unless there is no better choice, Zhang Sixin will trade a relatively late first-round pick, and the two seem to be a bit rare.
Originally, in history, the Jazz gave the Timberwolves two first rounds, young insiders, plus a special case of $1300 million in transactions, which is considered more appropriate.
But now, Zhang Sixin has no idea about the special case of the transaction.
The original Timberwolves still operated indiscriminately for a while, helping other teams, and their own benefits were limited.
Now that the Timberwolves are completely different, Zhang Sixin will definitely not give assists to other teams.
Even if the senior brother Spoelster has no way to find him, the Timberwolves don't need a player like Beasley now.
As for the Heat's formation of the Big Three, he still has no idea to interfere, and the bargaining chips in the hands of the Timberwolves are not qualified to stir up such a big deal for the time being.
"Zhang, it's hard to deal with high-level signings. There are some insiders this year. Those bastards are either unwilling to talk, or they are Stephen and Kevin..." David Kahn said aggrievedly.
"But for the big man, the Montenegrin big man we have been paying attention to is now the strongest center in Europe."
Zhang Sixin, the Montenegrin big man, knows that Nikola Pekovic is a powerful insider with a gangster family background. In history, the Timberwolves used him and Love to form the Twin Towers. When both were healthy, the insider was quite a threat, but both of them suffered from injuries.
In the West, the Timberwolves still need to build more insiders. Many teams are still playing the Twin Towers. Jefferson needs to be traded, and the Timberwolves' European plan still needs to be finalized.
Curry and Love have grown gratifyingly. It is not difficult for the Timberwolves to build a lineup with them as the core.
The team's main lineup has basically been determined, and now it is enough to get some substitutes.
The current Timberwolves still can't attract veterans who hold their legs. Zhang Sixin thinks it's better to focus on rookies.
If no one is willing to exchange draft picks with them, it is not a loss to open a few people.
There are some big names in this year's free market, but none of them have anything to do with the Timberwolves.
For other teams, Zhang Sixin is not interested much, and there are some shooters, but thinking about it, it may not be as practical as the upgraded Danny Green.
The time came to the end of June, and draft night began again.
In fact, the Timberwolves work hard and can still get a second-round pick, but think about it or forget it. The team can't cultivate too many rookies, so it's better to leave some surprises for others.
In fact, two teams have also talked with the Timberwolves about the high-level picks.
Not the top three, but the 6th and 7th picks of the Warriors and Pistons.
For the Timberwolves, it is actually enough. Zhang Sixin actually only fancy Paul George this year.
There is also Jeremy Lin, who can play as a substitute at position [-], but he can win without a lottery.
The bargaining chips of both sides are actually not very good, and they are a bit awkward, but if they can get Paul George, Zhang Sixin doesn't mind.
The deal was not negotiated before the start of the draft night, but everyone's chips were about the same, and a deal could happen at any time on the draft night.
Zhang Sixin understood that the two teams actually wanted to see if they could pick up a good insider in the draft.
When the Kings chose Cousins, one of the Kentucky twin stars, the Warriors immediately called and said they could trade.
Zhang Sixin is very clear that the Warriors have taken a fancy to two insiders this time, Derek Favors and DeMarcus Cousins. However, there are many teams that have taken a fancy to them, and the Warriors have not got a lottery.
The Timberwolves immediately agreed to the deal. In fact, the Pistons are also willing to make a deal, and they can provide immediate combat power, but the Timberwolves need a young man with potential, so Zhang Sixin prefers the Warriors. After all, he prefers the Warriors' expiring contract to the Pistons' immediate combat power.
Thus, the transaction that can be called big news happened.
The Timberwolves traded Jefferson for the Warriors' No. 6 pick, plus Vladimir Radmanovic's expiring contract and additions.
The Timberwolves then selected Cal State Fresno's Paul George with the No. 6 pick.
After the deal was announced, the outside world was shocked.
The combination of the Timberwolves' three insiders performed very well in the playoffs. Jefferson is the Timberwolves' first scoring point inside. He even changed to a rookie striker who is not particularly famous outside. Are the Timberwolves crazy and don't want to continue to break through in the playoffs?
"The operation of the Timberwolves is as fascinating as ever? Would coach Zhang Sixin do such a stupid thing?"
"Don't say it, it seems that Coach Zhang doesn't like Jefferson very much. This season, Jefferson's tactical status has dropped too much. It may be that the Timberwolves have internal strife."
"Maybe Paul George is a genius. Don't forget Coach Zhang's vision. Didn't the Timberwolves rookies play well last season? Let's just look forward to it."
At the time of the draft, the outside world must not know the operation of the Timberwolves.
Zhang Sixin's attention was also set aside for the next candidate.
To be honest, the position of the No. 16 pick is a bit up and down, and a bit tangled.
