What Barkley said makes sense and his suggestions are very pertinent, but it is very difficult for the Knicks to trade good role players now, because the Knicks don’t have many chips. In order to trade Zhou Mubai, the draft picks have basically been used up, and there are not many teams with trading value.

But Donny Walsh was an old fry after all, so he really found two possible deals.

One is Kevin Martin of the Kings. Kings' rookie Evans performed very well this year. The Kings wanted to rebuild with Evans as the cornerstone of the team building, and Martin's existence has hindered Evans. The Kings' main purpose in recent years is to cultivate newcomers, so this is an object that can be obtained through hard work.

Kevin Martin has many shortcomings, but there are also many things. At least his assault is worth looking forward to and can help Zhou Mubai share the pressure at certain times.

The other is Jamison of the Wizards. Antoine Jamison averages 20.8 points and 8.8 rebounds per game, which is considered a powerful forward. The Cavaliers have been eyeing Jamison.

But in recent seasons, the Wizards and the Cavaliers have met in the playoffs three times, and some unpleasant things have happened during the game, so both sides have become mortal enemies. Compared with the Cavaliers, the Knicks actually have a better chance of getting Jamison.

The Wizards don't want much. After General Arenas was suspended for the whole season, the Wizards could no longer avoid the fate of reconstruction. Jamison's current contract is still two years away, with a salary of 28 million. They just want to send Jamison's large contract away to get space for reconstruction.

So the Knicks only need to provide the Wizards with a big contract that is about to expire, and they can get the powerful forward who averages 20.8 points and 8.8 rebounds per game. Of course, this matter also requires Donny Walsh to use his skills.

As for the center position, this is actually what the Knicks are most in short supply. Eddie Curry can only play a role in certain special periods and is useless at all. Jeffries... forget about him, he is not a center.

It is difficult to find centers, especially when the Knicks lack chips, a capable center team must want to trade some good assets, while a bad center now Donny Walsh doesn't want - what are you going to do? It's hard to free up your salary space.

It’s not that there is no one, but Donny Walsh is a little hesitant. Bobcats’ Tyson Chandler is actually a good choice, but Chandler’s salary is $11.85 million, and it will be as high as $12.6 million next season.

If Chandler is healthy, it's okay. The key is that Chandler is now injured and stops. If the transaction is still like this, it will be a big trouble.

Recently, Donny Walsh and James Dolan have different opinions and have had some conflicts.

James Dolan insists on waiting for the offseason to attract big-name free agents, but Donny Walsh feels that there are a lot of cheap things to pick up in the middle of the season.

Players like Kevin Martin and Antoine Jamison, if it weren't for the Wizards and the Kings, it would be impossible to trade them out, and it would be impossible to get them at no cost.

The two were in a stalemate, and no one could convince anyone. Donny Walsh was also strong enough. As James Dolan agreed, James Dolan had no good way.

Donny Walsh is the general manager of the team. He can choose to follow his boss's opinions, but he can also execute the team management according to his own ideas - but he has to risk being fired by his boss.

In this case, expanding the scope of decisions is the best choice.

So the two invited coach D'Antoni to participate in the discussion because the head coach is the one who knows the most about the team.

Coach D'Antoni was a little hesitant. Although the Knicks won many games during this period, he knew the team's weaknesses very clearly. The transaction of these three people did promote the Knicks, but these people did take up a large amount of salary space on the team, and it still had a relatively large impact on attracting big-name free agents in the summer.

Coach D'Antoni was also hesitating, and the three-person decision-making meeting could not be held anymore. Donny Walsh had an idea and suggested that Zhou Mubai also join the meeting.

Is Zhou Mubai the most important player in the team now? He is also the only untradeable player and the cornerstone of the team's team building. Zhou Mubai's opinions can indeed have a significant impact to some extent.

So James Dolan and Coach D'Anthony nodded in agreement.

Zhou Mubai was invited to the meeting. After listening to Donny Walsh's explanation, Zhou Mubai thought for a while.

"Since I'm here, I'll tell you what I think."

James Dolan nodded and smiled, "That's natural."

Zhou Mubai nodded and smiled: "The big stars in summer include LeBron, Wade, Nowitzki, Bosh, Yao Ming, Stadameier, Nash, and Ray Allen's more influential stars.

There are also Bruce Bowen, Brad Miller, Shaquille O'Neal, Stoyakovic, Mike Miller, Alstom, Stephen Jackson, Marcus Camby, Kenyon Martin, Ben Wallace, and Larry Hughes.

But I think Downey's target should be LeBron, Wade, Bosh, and Stoudemire. The others are either impossible to leave the team, or they are not very useful when signing."

Zhou Mubai looked at Donny Walsh, and Donny Walsh nodded in agreement.

Zhou Mubai smiled and said, “Give up the fantasy.”

"Hmm?" James Dolan looked at Zhou Mubai in confusion.

Donny Walsh asked, "What does it mean?"

Coach D'Antoni thought something.

Zhou Mubai smiled and said, "LeBron will not come to the Knicks because he pays more attention to status than Kobe. Kobe is because he wants to be greater. LeBron not only wants greatness, but also wants business. When he comes to the Knicks, has he overwhelmed my confidence?"

Zhou Mubai's smile was full of domineeringness, which made James Dolan feel a little palpitations.

"What about Wade and Bosh?" asked Donny Walsh.

"Wade already has a championship ring, and it's hard to say his choice. Bosh may win it, but if LeBron and Wade join forces, would you guess Bosh trust them or our Knicks?" Zhou Mubai smiled.

James Dolan and Donny Walsh looked at each other and saw the shock between them. Only the two of them knew about LeBron and James wanting to join Wade Bosh, but Zhou Mubai could guess that this view of the overall situation is too powerful, right?

"So what you mean?" James Dolan asked.

Zhou Mubai smiled and said, "Jamison, Martin, Tyson Chandler, Studmeier, Ray Allen, Tony Allen, Channing Fry, these people are what we can get.

Among them, Jamison, Martin, and Chandler can start the transaction, and others can sign it directly in the summer. If I need to contact me, tell me at any time."

After Zhou Mubai said that, the other three people's expressions changed.

It can be said that Zhou Mubai's statement did touch them. If Zhou Mubai said, if he could capture these people in his arms, there would be hope to win the finals.

But it also overturned all their previous ideas about summer, which was indeed a bit unacceptable for them.

James Dolan stared at Zhou Mubai and said, "If, I mean, if, if, if we bring you Jamison, Martin and Tyson Chandler, can you bring the team into the playoffs this season?"

Zhou Mubai smiled: "If the goal is just to enter the playoffs, then there is no need to trade, I can only rely on my current lineup."

"Impossible?" James Dolan looked surprised. "I admit that I'm doing a good job now, but..."

Zhou Mubai smiled and said, "What's impossible? If you can bring the three to the team, I can guarantee the team will enter the second round."

D'Antoni was a little restless.

"Zhou..." D'Antoni shouted, "It's not easy to enter the second round. If we face the Celtics, Magic, and Cavaliers teams, we will never have the chance to enter the second round."

Zhou Mubai smiled: "The only thing I fear is the Celtics, just avoid them."

James Dolan is a businessman. The businessman is best at stop loss, but also adventure. He gritted his teeth: "Are you sure?"

Zhou Mubai shrugged and smiled, "It's probably OK."

"Okay, Donnie, I agree!" James Dolan said decisively, his gambling was rising.

After two rounds of enlarged meetings, it was finally concluded that the Knicks should be prepared to not come to LeBron James, expand the team's strength first, and use one second round of the playoffs to attract capable free agents in the summer.
