Chapter 60 Challenge the Warriors?

Yun Chen swallowed involuntarily, then picked up the tea in front of him and took a sip. The tea was a bit bitter, but after the bitterness, there was a burst of fresh breath.

"Mr. Lillard, although I don't know how you have such an idea, but what I want to remind you is that regardless of whether I want to join you or not, I am still in the rookie contract period, and I have not decided which one to go to." Team rights," he reminded.

Hearing this, Lillard and McCollum looked at each other again, and unexpectedly, Yunchen saw a smile on their faces.

"Lee, this is not a problem. We have discussed this matter with general manager Neil Orsey. He promised that as long as we can convince you, he can get Altman and get you here." Lillard Shaking his head, Yun Chen's question didn't seem to be difficult to solve in his opinion.

Hearing that Yunchen frowned again, Lillard looked quite confident, as if he felt that Altman would definitely let him go.

This inevitably made him a little angry. His recent performance may not be perfect, but at least he is currently one of the best among all rookies. No matter how stupid Altman is, he would not be willing to let a potential rookie like himself go.He felt that this was a kind of contempt for himself.

Moreover, behind him is the huge Chinese market. Even if he only considers making money, he doesn't think Altman will agree to the deal.

"Lillard, can you tell me why you are so sure you can make this deal?" Yun Chen asked again.

Lillard nodded, as if he was about to talk about it: "Lee, our management had already made an offer to the Cavaliers half a month ago, and they have taken out enough chips this time. Enough to make Altman tempted."

"What kind of bargaining chip?" Yun Chen frowned, actually a team offered him an offer?He didn't know about it at all, and it seemed that Altman was hiding something from himself.

"They exchanged you with Evan Turner plus draft picks for the next two years. You have to know that what the current Cavaliers lack most is draft picks. They once squandered the team's future for LeBron Altman. We Now gives him a chance to choose his future!" Lillard said.

Before the words finished, Yun Chen abruptly put down the teacup in his hand, the pick for the next two seasons?As far as he knows, next year, that is, 2019, the Blazers will have a top ten pick. From this point of view, they have indeed paid a lot of money in order to change themselves.

"If you quote like this, then as long as Altman nods, why do you come here to ask me what I mean?" But immediately, he thought of something wrong again, if the transaction is successful, just proceed, Why bother to ask yourself a question?Isn't this superfluous?

Hearing this, Lillard was silent, but McCollum next to him spoke: "Lee, I don't know why, Altman has never expressed his position on this offer, so we think he should still be hesitating, so At this time, we thought of coming to you, if you are willing to join us, then things will be much easier."

"How to say?" Yun Chen spread his hands, expressing that he did not understand what he meant.

"Look at Kawhi Leonard in the past two seasons, you should understand." McCollum continued.

Upon hearing the name Kawhi Leonard, Yunchen immediately reacted.

He also finally understood what these two people wanted for him today, and why they came in with their heads covered tightly, because they were afraid of being secretly photographed and causing unnecessary trouble.

In the past two seasons, Leonard has been refusing to play because he wants to leave the Spurs. Although the news announced to the public is that he is injured, everyone knows what is actually going on at a glance.

If a player wants to leave a team and the management is unwilling to let him go, then he has a more extreme, but very effective method to achieve his goal.

That is to force the palace, not to play, to make clear your position and use your actual actions to force the management to trade yourself. This is a common method used by many players.

Howard, who wanted to leave the Magic a few years ago, and Leonard in the past two seasons have done so. Although this move is a bit extreme, it has to be said that it is very effective. They almost all achieved their goals.

After trying to understand the meaning of this, Yun Chen couldn't help but knit his brows together again: "You mean, let me force the palace team to trade me?"

Lillard was noncommittal, but McCollum nodded directly: "Lee, we need you. We only need you to cooperate with us in this matter, and we can play together!"

As he spoke, a smile appeared on McCollum's face, as if he had seen the scene where the three of them dominated the league.

However, Yun Chen's heart gradually sank: "I forced Altman to trade me, but what if he doesn't want to trade me? Doesn't it mean that my career will be changed because of this incident? And Is there still a high possibility of causing bad effects?"

He was a little angry. Lillard and McCollum were really selfish. In order to achieve their own goals, they did not consider the consequences of doing this at all.

"Besides, why should I join you guys? I'm doing well in the Cavaliers now. Our current record is the second in the Eastern Conference. I don't think I need to join you guys." But he didn't express his emotions, but Continue to chat with these two people, he doesn't want to mess up the relationship with them.

When this question was asked, Lillard and McCollum sighed at the same time. This time Lillard spoke first: "Lee, I don't deny that the current Cavaliers are doing very well, but in the East even if you reach the No. What's the use of two? Enter the playoffs, and then be defeated by the Celtics or the Raptors? With the Cavaliers lineup, I'm afraid it will be difficult to get past the second round, right?"

"..." Yun Chen was caught by his question. Indeed, with the current lineup of the Cavaliers, it is not so easy to pass the second round.

"Also, even if you can survive the second round, or even defeat the Celtics after entering the Eastern Conference Finals, so what? Can you beat the Warriors with the Big Five?" Lillard continued Go on, and this time he got right to the point.

The Warriors, now the Warriors in full swing, after they won the championship last season, they were already basically invincible and signed DeMarcus Cousins, which raised their strength to an even more unattainable height.

"..." Yun Chen stopped talking again. What Lillard said was the truth, so what if the Cavaliers are strong enough to break out of the east?Isn't it just as sure to lose when you meet the Warriors?In today's league, there is no team that can compete with them.

"So, Li, we are here to recruit you now, just to challenge the Warriors with you!" Lillard followed the temptation carefully, and Yun Chen kept silent, which seemed a little shaken to him.

"The three of us? Do you think we can defeat the five giants of the Warriors with our strength?" But Yun Chen laughed directly. It would be tantamount to nonsense to challenge the Warriors with the strength of the three of them.

They can't deal with Durant alone.

"Of course not, Lee, we have recruited another person besides you. Once the two of you join at the same time, we will definitely have the opportunity to challenge the Warriors! Because the two of you are currently the most suitable for our tactical system Candidates!"

"Another person? Who?" Yun Chen wondered, they also recruited another person at the same time?

"Although I haven't successfully traded like you, it's okay to tell you, he is Whiteside of the Heat!"

Hearing this, Yun Chen was immediately surprised, they actually set their minds on the star of the Heat team!
