Build a Dream Dynasty

Chapter 225 Becoming an Elite

On July 1, the NBA free agent market officially opened. However, the first big news did not come from the signing of big-name players, but a deal reached between the Lakers and the Suns. The Lakers officially announced that they had completed a sign-and-trade deal with the Suns. They used 8.9 million Exceptions, first-round picks in 2013 and 2015, and second-round picks in 2013 and 2014 plus some cash were exchanged for two-time MVP point guard Steve Nash. Nash's new contract is worth 27 million US dollars for a period of three years. He will wear the No. 10 jersey in the new season.

"It's a bit exaggerated for a 38-year-old veteran to exchange two first-round picks." In a cold drink shop on the streets of New York, Jiang Mingliang complained while enjoying the snow top coffee.

After all, the rich teams are used to it, completely disregarding the age of the superstars in the team, and giving away the first round of picks as soon as they say it.

Is Nash suitable for this Lakers team? Not easy to say. But what is certain is that the twin towers of Nash, Bynum and Gasol are 100% not suitable. The team where Nash is the point guard either plays pick-and-roll or bombards. And this pair of twin towers is obviously best at the triangle offense and inside-out, attacking the opponent from the position.

So, the follow-up must be the deal where the four teams participate, the four teams lose money together, and there is no winner? Jiang Mingliang's first reaction was to gloat, but then he thought of something, and his face began to darken!

He kind of understood why Presti suddenly gave up the three-way deal and instead traded with the 76ers. The reason lies in the design of the four-team big deal in this round. Someone passed the news that the Lakers were about to get Howard to the Thunder. Presti immediately understood that the team needed Perkins to contain Howard, so he gave up the idea of ​​getting rid of this garbage contract. Then, the 76ers took out Howard again. Le Dijia's three draft picks were used as bargaining chips to induce the Thunder to make a "win-win" deal.

Thinking about it carefully, the 76ers got Iguodala and the draft pick in exchange for the league's second center, Bynum, in this big deal involving four teams! Bynum + Harden, it seems to be a weakened version of the OK combination, the improvement in strength on paper is too obvious!

If it weren't for Bynum's injury, the 76ers' plan would have really come true! Jiang Mingliang felt a little emotional in his heart, the butterfly effect! The changes are getting bigger and bigger!

"Come out with me for a cold drink, can't you let go of work for a while?" Sitting opposite Jiang Mingliang with almond matcha ice cream, Krystal complained.

Workaholic! If it is said that Krystal had a good impression of Jiang Mingliang in New Zealand before, then after in-depth contact, Krystal discovered some shortcomings in Jiang Mingliang, for example, he really couldn't do without work.

"The man who devotes himself to his career is the most handsome!" Jiang Mingliang was also typing messages to exchange opinions with West on the next issue of the Lakers and Magic trading Howard.

Krystal frowned, judging from the mentality of his daughter's family, he felt that there was some truth in this statement.

Whether the career is successful or not comes second, the key is that when a man is in a state of striving for progress, the charm he exudes is far more than the bonus of appearance. It's no wonder that Jessica favors him. Based on Krystal's understanding of Jessica, her sister likes this kind of boy.

"So, that's how you dated my sister?" Krystal asked.

"Look at the time, just like you guys, when you recorded albums and filmed film and television works, it must be different from the current state, right? You can understand that I have entered a busy period now." Jiang Mingliang smiled, "I You have to work hard to support your sister."

"Are you sure it's 'raising'?" The topic turned to Jessica, and Krystal began to introduce the topic, "Isn't it some other vocabulary?"

Krystal wanted to use the word "nurture", but it was her sister after all. Besides, Krystal didn't intend to destroy the relationship between Jiang Mingliang and Jessica. If possible, she wanted Jiang Mingliang to kick Taylor Swift away.

"Uh... Jessica told you everything?" Jiang Mingliang finally put down his cell phone, and finally fixed his eyes on Krystal.

Pink and white sneakers, blue jeans, a yellow T-shirt, a black jacket, long hair with a shawl, fair skin, very beautiful. However, the temperament is a bit cold.

"I'm not blind. I can't see it. You didn't prepare a gift for me yesterday. Also, the meaning of this wishbone is that two people hold each hand and break it off together, and see whose part is bigger. Winner People can make a wish to the loser." The little girl has studied these special meanings too deeply, and Jiang Mingliang's trick is ineffective for Krystal!

"So now that you've seen it, please be considerate of Jessica. She clearly knows that the gift is for her, so she will share half of it with you, and give you this chance to make a wish. Also think about the efforts Jessica has made for the fashion brand, and the burden she has undertaken. How much pressure is there. At least I can help her and reduce her detours!" Jiang Mingliang said seriously.

"But, don't you think your behavior is immoral? It's not fair to my sister," Krystal insisted.

"From my point of view, the two of them are equally important to me. Because of the distance, maybe Jessica will suffer some grievances, and I will do my best to make up for it. Krystal, it doesn't matter if you speak out in front of me. , but don't say it in front of Jessica, it will only increase Jessica's psychological burden and make everyone's relationship more awkward!" Jiang Mingliang said firmly, "Maybe you think this is unfair, what privileges do people like me enjoy. But this The world is never fair, and I don’t deny that I have privileges. If the elites who promote social civilization and progress don’t have privileges? Then why should everyone try to be elites?”

Is Jiang Mingliang's words reasonable? It depends on which level you look at it from. But Krystal knew that what Jiang Mingliang said was the universal truth.

"You are objectifying women!" Krystal found a new argument and said unconvinced.

"If I objectify Jessica, then I really don't need to tell you so much." Jiang Mingliang replied lightly.

He really likes Jessica, that's why he explained to Krystal.

. . . . . . .

A day later, the Nets officially announced four consecutive signings. After the deal between George and Curry was completed, Lopez had already received a maximum salary offer from the Nets before he had time to go out and contact other teams, and the signing was a natural thing.

Ibaka only made 48 million in 4 years, Noah only made 60 million in 5 years, and Lopez made 64 million in 4 years. After signing this contract, Jiang Mingliang can't wait to give himself a mouthful!

Veteran Livingston accepted the team's basic salary offer. What is the problem with this veteran being the third point guard. It's just that this contract extension continued to catalyze the situation where Jeremy Lin and Bledsoe had to get rid of one.

The other two players who joined the team are Barnes and Chasing Dream Green, both rookies of the team this season. At this point in time, joining the Nets, I don't know if it's a blessing or a curse.
