Legendary basketball manager

"What you said... makes sense."

"But Curry is still very young, this is his second season."

"He's different from Lawson. When Lawson entered the league, his confrontation ability was already above average."

"Curry still needs time to settle. He is tall and has a good frame. It is entirely possible to develop his confrontation ability."

Larry Riley calmly analyzed.

Even with the influence of the [Voice of Bewitching], he can still argue with reason.

After hearing this, Shen Fei couldn't help sighing in his heart: "Sure enough, anyone who can be the general manager of the NBA has two talents."

However, the young Asians did not panic and were not in a hurry to refute each other.

"I also believe that Curry has such potential, so I am willing to pay a premium for him."

"However, from the current point of view, it is still unknown whether Stephen can practice confrontation."

"I also read his scouting report...Whether Curry can adapt to high-level games has always been the focus of everyone's attention."

"But now there is a more serious problem, which is his fragile ankle!"

Shen Fei finally played the "trump card" of this negotiation.

Yes, Curry's potential is high!

If he played more than ten or twenty more games last season, the title of best rookie may change hands.

Just from being able to compete with the historical rookie-Tyreke Evans for the title of best rookie, we can see how great Curry's potential is!

However, no matter how talented a player is, if he cannot play normally, it is empty talk.

For example, the Rockets now have a talent monster—Oden, who is still lying on the hospital bed!

Is he more talented than Curry?

Useless!

Oden's current transaction value is basically zero!

"Curry just sprained his ankle. This kind of minor injury will not affect his career."

Larry Riley tried to explain.

"Ankle sprains are minor injuries, but habitual sprains are a different story."

"I also know a thing or two about medicine. Once an athlete has a habitual sprain, the ligaments around the ankle will also have problems."

"Once the ligament is injured, it's not a small problem."

Shen Fei ruthlessly dismantled Dao.

He clearly remembered that the Warriors in his previous life had thought about trading Curry more than once, and a big reason was his fragile ankle.

"As for this, Lawson should be able to do a good job. I believe you can also see this from his physical fitness and style of play."

The Asian youth added.

Judging from the current perspective, Lawson's small steel body, coupled with his floor-flow style of play, is indeed not easy to get injured.

"Em... what you said has some truth, Shen."

"So, what do you think about the transaction? Or, how do you think the transaction is appropriate?"

Larry Riley asked seriously.

"This problem is actually easy to solve. There are two ways."

"First, you add Murphy to the deal, but in order to compensate us for accepting his rubbish contract, you have to add another first-round pick."

"The second option is that you lay off Murphy directly, settle the salary in a few years, and free up the salary space just enough to eat Martin's contract.

But in this way, it is equivalent to Curry directly replacing Lawson and Martin, then we are obviously at a disadvantage, so we need to exchange the first round of picks between the two sides. "

Shen Fei threw out a solution.

Before coming, he had thought about how to deal with Murphy's contract.

Of these two options, Shen Fei actually prefers the first one.

The reason is simple. The Rockets' salary space is actually very healthy. Even if Murphy insists on this year's 1200 million contract, there is no problem.

As soon as the transaction was completed, Shen Fei directly laid off Murphy.

Anyway, next season, he will definitely introduce some Chinese players to train.

The salaries of Chinese players are generally very low, and they don't take up much salary space at all.

And the first-round pick obtained by the first plan has a huge effect!

Shen Fei knew that there would be some big fish in next year's draft.

And the Warriors' signing can just help the Rockets and recruit another general of the Splash Brothers-Klay Thompson!

As for the second option, Shen Fei can also accept it.

However, by exchanging the first-round picks, he lost a chance to Taobao at the end of the first round.

Asian youths don't want to miss another big fish in next year's draft-Jimmy Butler!

This man was selected at the end of the first round in the original time and space.

Shen Fei didn't want to lose such a strong general for more than 1000 million.

After hearing the two proposals, Larry Riley pondered for a long time.

............

While he was thinking, the game was in full swing.

In the second quarter of the game, Lawson became more and more courageous.

With the help of his teammates, he got many easy shots.

Drive layups, catch and shoot, pick-and-roll pull-up mid-range...

Lawson showed almost all the moves in his arsenal.

At this time, a group of fans beside the VIP box began to discuss the game loudly.

"It's strange. Didn't the guard named Curry on the opposite side say that he is very good? How come today, he is not as good as our backup guard!"

"What do you know? Lawson is not bad at all, I think after a while, he will be able to compete with Lowry for the starting point guard!"

"I always feel unreliable for a shooter like Curry. Once the defensive strength comes up, he may collapse. Look at how embarrassing he was defended by Tony Allen today!"

"Indeed... But in this game, I think Kevin Martin is more accurate than Curry. Except for the ultra-long three-pointer at the beginning, Curry didn't do much later..."

"You can't say that. It hasn't been long since Curry came back from injury, and he may not have fully recovered. You can't demote him to nothing just because of an abnormal game."

"Heh...he has been injured several times, what if this state becomes normal?"

The football fans talked about each other, and the discussion was very enjoyable.

Their voices were so loud that the two general managers next door could hear them clearly.

Shen Fei didn't react after hearing this, and still watched the game calmly.

But Larry Riley next to him frowned.

Although these people's words are ugly, they are not unreasonable. They basically revealed Curry's weaknesses.

[Is Ellis + Martin better than Curry + Ellis? ]

Larry Riley began to compare in his mind.

He thought about it, but still couldn't get an answer.

But Larry Riley knows that if Lawson goes to the Warriors, the team's bench lineup will definitely be greatly improved.

In other words, once the deal is concluded, the overall strength of the Warriors will rise!

............

"I've thought about it... let's go to the first option!"

"Curry plus Murphy plus a first-round pick for your Lawson and Martin."

"But I have one more request...you have to add another second-round pick!"

Larry Riley gritted his teeth and gave the final answer.

Shen Fei was ecstatic when he heard this!

Of course, his face was still calm, and he just said lightly...
