"Trade me!" Billups said to Nuggets general manager Ugeri.
Mourning is more than death, and Billups has seen no hope in this Nuggets.
Ujeri was stinging at first, but then he figured it out. Anyway, he decided to rebuild, so why keep Billups? Let him go, Ujri decides to be a good friend, "Where do you want to go?"
Billups was also stunned. Seriously, he didn't really think about where he was going.
"Go to a team that can compete for the championship! Thank you!" Billups said.
Billups was also young and insane. He thought he could turn Anthony's prodigal son back, but there was no way. Anthony's obsession was too strong. The Nuggets would not be able to fight like this.
Billups believes that Anthony will understand some truth in the future, but Billups is no longer young, and he cannot accompany Anthony through this period of growth.
...
"Sorry ... we don't need any transactions now." Just kidding? I wouldn't offend Lin Yi at this point in time, and Donny Wash hanged up Ugeri's phone decisively.
This time, Ujri was in trouble.
Billups is 34 years old this year, averaging 14.7 points and 4.9 assists this season, and the low-key stats are too low. There are a lot of starting guards in the league who can play this data. It was found that Billups' contract was a big problem.
Compared to Lupus, they are interested in some strong teams, but where do these strong teams come from?
The main thing is a veteran whose trade value is far lower than many young potential players, which is the consensus of the league uniform group.
If Billups 'contract is okay, some weak teams may trade him and then lay him off, but Billups' contract will not expire until 12 years, which is very embarrassing. .....
It's impossible for Ujri to send Billups in vain. Even if you give it in vain, you have to give us something!
In Lin Yi's previous life, Anthony plus Billups, in fact, the Nuggets won the most valuable is the Gallinari and Wilson Chandler and the Knicks a 2014 pick and two second-round picks ... ....
You know, the melon in this period is the starting small forward in the West. Putting it aside ... It is more like Nuggets than the Nuggets sold to the Knicks.
No way, the team that wants Billups doesn't want to spend a lot of money. This is the most embarrassing part of the Billups contract, so Ugeri called Donny Wash.
Because the Knicks have cap space.
"Hey ... how can this be explained to Changxi?" Ujerry was having a headache, Billups had made it clear that he wanted to leave, and the Nuggets were disheartened. Can this be fun?
...
"Eh? Wait ..." Donny Wash, who hung up Ujerry's phone, suddenly remembered something, and he took out his notebook with Lin Yigan, whom Javier Stanford had told himself. List of targets of interest.
There just happened to be Billups.
Donny Wash took a deep breath and called up Lin Yi's courage.
"Hello, Mr. General Manager."
Listening to Lin Yi's amiable tone, Donny Wash relieved. "Lin, the Nuggets want to trade with us with Billups."
Lin Yi on the other side of the phone froze.
Aha?
what......
"Are you sure it's just Billups alone?" Lin Yi held his breath.
"Yes, Lin." Donny Wash said.
"What chips do they want?" Lin Yi asked.
"Our first-round pick in 2013 or 2014, plus two role players." Donny Wash said.
Alas, dare to love the Nuggets. Is this a big sale?
Lin Yi quickly analyzed a wave in his mind.
Because of the flag he had to obey, he had to abide by it. So, first of all, did the transaction get Billups to hold a group?
Of course not, Billups is just a 34-year-old veteran, and his statistics are extremely low-key, but his unpretentious style of play is exactly what the Knicks need.
If Lin Yi remembers correctly, 10/11 and 11/12 are the last two seasons that Billups played well, and if Lin Yi's summer plan is successful, the helper next year also needs a mentor, Just the perfect successor to Billups.
D'Antoni is also worried about the Knicks' first position. After all, Livingston's playing time is limited, and Louwe can only be used as a master of chaos. If the pressure of Lin Yi's organization is not shared, the Knicks can only be a fantasy .
Billups took FMVP. His experience is just a supplement to this young Knicks. He is the big heart of the No. 1 position, and what is the Knicks most worry-free?
That's salary space!
The sharks retire next year. The new recruits selected in the Knicks draft conference are not enough to trigger the minimum wage. The Knicks are not afraid of Billups's ten million contracts. He will be 36 years old after his contract expires. And next season, he can still be the mentor of that helper. To understand Lin Yi's grand blueprint, the most lacking of that helper is organization and defense.
Lin Yi kept calm, Billups is a good reinforcement for the Knicks, and there is no need to worry about being stigmatized. The main thing is that Billups' low-key will not prevent Lin Yi from continuing to gain popularity.
"Donny, you ask which two role players the Nuggets want from us." Lin Yi told Donny Wash.
"No problem!" Donny Wash was grumpy, and his general manager was finally useful, and it sounded like Lin Yi was happy?
Awesome, as long as Lin Yi is happy, Donny Wash is content.
You know, this kid's energy is really terrible. The boss Dolan was still feeling a few days ago. The Knicks made last season is equal to the sum of the previous three seasons ... Paranoid New York fans fall in love with him, this time ...
...
Ujri felt he was in a rush, and after receiving a call from Donny Wash, he and Donny Wash had a bargain.
Ujeri's liver hurts a bit, "I can't give in any more, Downey, your first-round draft pick in 2014, Belinelli plus one of your backup point guards, isn't this demand excessive?"
As soon as Donny Wash saw Ugeri's bottom line, and after texting with Lin Yi on another mobile phone, Donny Wash agreed with Ugeri's offer.
Knicks sent: Bellinelli, Beverly, 2014 team first-round pick.
Nuggets sent: Billups.
The transaction was reported to the alliance soon, and Stern not only did not object to it when he learned the news, but also passed the plan as soon as possible.
Stern knows that Lin Yi lacks a helper. From this perspective, Stern is definitely a **** Keemi. .. Well, of course, that matter is more complicated and cannot be said exactly.
Billups is very low-key and the Knicks lack point guards. The Nuggets and the Knicks hit it off right away.
After the transaction was completed, Ugeri notified Billups as soon as possible.
"Thank you!" After Billups thanked Ujerry, he packed up his bags and went to New York. He said goodbye to the Nuggets teammates. When he learned that Billups was going to New York, Anthony envy After a while, but thinking that he can attack Shuang next, Anthony is not so envious.
This season the Knicks' second and third positions are too fiercely competitive, it is not a shame to trade Belinelli, Lin Yi comforted Belinelli, Belinelli also understands that if he wants to get a good contract, Leaving the Knicks is a good choice.
As for Beverly ... No way, this crazy dog has at least one or two seasons to practice. Lin Yi's mentality changes, resulting in the Knicks needing immediate combat power.
Lin Yike will not become a cripple, but also set up an archway, in this cruel and ruthless alliance, even if he is not all on the shelves of chips?
Only when that peak is reached can we turn our hands into clouds and rain.
Beverley will not be angry, because he can thank Lin Yi for being able to stay in the NBA. However, he has a long future but cannot be a companion. The mad dog slightly regrets booking a flight with Bellinelli.
The news that Billups was sent to the Knicks by the Nuggets, to anxious those championship teams, because the Knicks have officially joined the championship group this season!
The coaches of these championship groups are not stupid. They know that the weakest link of the Knicks has been upgraded.
Luxury battleships are about to sail!
...
PS: Third more!
