"Has the Hornets replied?" asked Old Bass.

Kupchek nodded: "They are willing to trade Paul with Zhou Mubai, but they have objections to the two first-round draft picks."

Old Bass frowned: "Don't want to give it?"

"Yes, they think Paul is enough to exchange Zhou Mubai for single value, because of the mismatch of value, and they also want us to send Artest or Odom to the Hornets by the way."

Old Bass sneered: "Are they crazy about being poor? Forget it, pass them away."

Kupchek was a little anxious: "Paul has a great effect on our three consecutive championships, and Paul is very young. If he can get Paul, he can play for at least ten years, which can ensure competitiveness in the next ten years!"

Old Bass shook his head and said, "Cp3 will be the contract year next year... His value is too high, the team has to calculate profits and losses. The current lineup is enough. Next year's new players are very good, especially those on the back line, John Wall, Wesley Johnson, Evan Turner, etc. are all very good. In addition... can you guarantee that Paul can be able to withstand him?"

Can tolerate...Kupchek scratched his head a little. If it were before, of course he would say that he could tolerate it, but Zhou Mubai could not tolerate it. Paul could tolerate it. Although Paul was definitely not as good as Zhou Mubai, who would steal Kobe's limelight? Who would say that?

Moreover, Paul only has one year's right to use it. If Paul and Kobe are unhappy in cooperation and are unwilling to stay, the Lakers will exchange Zhou Mubai for Paul's right to use it for one year, and the business will be a loss.

This is not impossible. Although Paul is a traditional point guard, he must have the ball rights. Kobe's desire for the ball rights is too strong now. Of course, Paul can't stand things that Zhou Mubai can't stand.

"Or...ask Kobe?" Kupcheck said.

Old Bass sneered: "No need to ask, he is not satisfied with such a good point guard in Zhou Mubai, so let him cooperate with Fisher. David Lee is a young man, too. With three first-round draft picks, we can also have enough foundation for building a team in the future."

Kupchek sighed in his heart. Old Bass had an objection to Kobe, but no wonder Old Bass. It was obviously the Lakers' future plan, but now he had to send it away. It would be unhappy if anyone else had it.

"What do you say in New York?"

Kupchek said: "They agreed."

Old Bass smiled: "David Lee, a young man, has the strength of an All-Star, plus three first and two second rounds, James Dolan has also suffered a heavy bleeding."

Kupchek sighed, "I still feel like I'm losing."

Old Bass smiled and said, "Where is no one who only makes profits and does not lose money in business. Zhou Mubai is very good, but if we can't keep it, we have to recognize it.

Looking further, the Lakers' prosperity is not based on someone, but on our golden sign. As long as this golden sign is still there, the Lakers will not be defeated.

And…there are reports that the Hornets are moving to New Orleans and are going to be placed in the west.”

This makes the explanation clear. Kupchek understands that Old Bass is quite afraid of Zhou Mubai. If the Charlotte Hornets move to New Orleans and are included in the West, then under Zhou Mubai's leadership, they may become the Lakers' mortal enemy at that time. The Lakers will not do such a matter of investing in enemies.

When O'Neal was trading away, the Lakers would rather trade O'Neal to the East than to the enemies of the West. At that time, O'Neal was still at its peak. The Heat only used Odom, Butler, Grant and draft picks to get O'Neal. The Lakers seemed to have suffered a loss, but the trouble was thrown into the East.

The Lakers' deal in Zhou Mubai this time actually offended Zhou Mubai. It would be impossible to say that Zhou Mubai has no resentment in his heart.

Since that's the case, then throw Zhou Mubai to New York forever. With the operational ability of the Knicks, Zhou Mubai can get attention and fame, but basically cannot break through to the Eastern Conference.

It’s either that Old Bass looks down on the Knicks, he just looks down on James Dolan. Look at the operations in the past few years. If Old Bass himself, Isaiah Thomas would have been killed by the men from the Mafia. Now James Dolan is still having contact with that guy, which is really trash!

So it seems that it has suffered a loss, but it solved an existing hidden danger, got an All-Star, and got five future draft picks - seriously, it was a loss, but it was not a big loss!

At least that's what Old Bass thinks.

Lang Youqing and concubines were interested, the transaction plan was quickly reached, and the alliance office quickly prepared a case - James Dolan specially asked Stern to handle it.

Stern has always relied on the Knicks. The Knicks have been in decline for too long. If they can get Zhou Mubai, the Knicks' revitalization will not be far away.

Moreover, Stern has another consideration. If Zhou Mubai stays in the Lakers, it will be difficult for the Lakers to curb the next few years. Not to mention three consecutive championships, it is possible to win four consecutive championships and five consecutive championships.

The speed was very fast. When Zhou Mubai was notified of the news of being traded, the alliance's notice had been issued. Zhou Mubai had to go to New York to participate in the physical examination report immediately.

When Zhou Mubai heard the news, he felt a little sad. Although he had bumpy memories during the Lakers during this period, he also had many beautiful memories.

However, Zhou Mubai has been wandering for thousands of years and has long been used to wandering around. After packing up some clothes, he went to New York.

As for the books in the room, they just need to be cleaned up by a moving company and sent them together. Of course, it costs a lot, but Zhou Mubai doesn't care about such a little money.

It was raining in New York and the whole sky was gray. When Zhou Mubai got off the plane, he saw a bustling scene.

James Dolan, Donny Walsh, and D'Antoni were all waiting in the airport passage, and there were many fans holding welcome signs behind them, cheering when they saw Zhou Mubai.

Many passengers from the airport were attracted, and the airport had to send a large number of security guards to maintain order.

Zhou Mubai couldn't help but feel warm in his heart.

Kobe is the only king in New York. Even though he plays much better than Kobe, fans are still Kobe. After he and Kobe break up, fans rarely cheer for him.

The physical examination was just a formality. Everyone knows that the reason why Zhou Mubai was traded was just because he was excluded.

D'Antoni was most excited about Zhou Mubai's arrival. In fact, he didn't know much about trading, and he didn't think the Lakers would trade Zhou Mubai away.
