Rebirth of My Rocket Dynasty

Chapter 60 The Transaction Begins

Tiger fell asleep amidst thousands of thoughts, and Tiger was awakened early the next morning by a rush of phone ringing.

Drowsy, he picked up the phone and said, "Here, I'm Tiger Jones."

"Boss, are you still awake? I'm Dawson." It was Dawson's voice on the other side of the phone.

"Oh, my God, it's almost nine o'clock. The Grizzlies' staff should pick us up and go to their club to discuss work. Why didn't you wake me up earlier, Dawson." Tiger looked at the time, Quickly jumped up from the bed.

"Boss, I thought you were up. It's already this time. Didn't you ask for a bed call service?" Dawson was full of displeasure, and said in his heart: You are really an uncle.

"Well, I forgot to call, okay, I'll be right over." He hung up the phone, took a shower in a hurry, and finished brushing his teeth.

He rushed downstairs to the restaurant at high speed.

Look at Dawson and Lao Tang, drinking coffee leisurely, waiting for Tiger to go downstairs.

On their table was a steaming hot breakfast, apparently for Tiger.

Looking at the breakfast for himself, Tiger smiled shyly.

"Thank you, Dawson, Rudy, if you hadn't woken me up, I would have been ashamed in front of the Grizzlies management." Tiger thanked the two old guys very much.

"Hehe, we are afraid that you, the boss, will kick us out." Old Tang teased Tiger.

"Okay, okay, Rudy, I was wrong, why not?" Tiger couldn't hold back his face.

Lao Tang smiled in a timely manner and said nothing.

Dawson said on the side: "Hurry up, the management of the Grizzlies should come in a while, and I have asked our staff to start preparing relevant materials for today's negotiations."

"Okay, I eat very quickly, and I won't waste time." After speaking, he picked up the knife and fork and swept the breakfast on the table.

After Tiger quickly cleaned up his breakfast, An An was drinking coffee with peace of mind.

The staff accompanying the Rockets this time have already sorted out the information, and they are waiting for the management of the Grizzlies to pick them up when they come out of the room.

After a while, the Grizzlies' reception vehicle arrived.

After everyone got into the car, they arrived at the club office of the Vancouver Grizzlies in less than 15 minutes.

Everyone filed into Grizzly's conference room.

Grizzlies general manager Stu Jackson stood up and greeted him.

"How are you resting, Mr. Tiger?" Stu Jackson reached out and held Tiger's hand and asked with concern.

"Very good, thank you for your concern, Mr. Stu." Tiger responded enthusiastically
"Okay, please sit down, everyone take a break, what do you need to drink, Mr. Tiger." Stu Jackson quickly asked everyone to sit down.

"You are too polite, give me a cup of green tea." Tiger said while sitting on the stool in the conference room.

Everyone sat down and greeted for a while.

Tiger took the initiative to speak and entered today's topic.

"Mr. Stu, let's start. Everyone's time is precious." Tiger said.

"Okay, then let's get into our topic." After hearing the words, Stu Jackson also quickly entered his role.

Both sides quickly entered their roles.

"Okay, Mr. Stu, the Grizzlies want to get the Rockets inside player, Osella Harrington, this player Height: 6 feet 9 (2.06 meters) Weight: 235 pounds (106 kg) Graduated from: Georgetown University , Position: Power forward | Center, the first pick in the second round of the 1996 draft was selected by the Rockets, date of birth: January 1974, 1, as of the last game, averaging 31 points and 6 rebounds per game. Well, this is The basic information of Osella Harrington, I think your Grizzlies system team should also have these things, and now I want to hear the list of exchange players given by your Grizzlies." Dawson briefly introduced the players In this case, just ask the Grizzlies guy what chips he has.

"Okay, what the Grizzlies propose is that we exchange Chris Robinson, the No. 96 rookie in the 55 draft. The salaries of the two are basically the same. What do you think?" Stu Jackson said his candidate.

"Chris Robinson, height 6 feet 5, weight: 200 pounds, position: forward, graduated from: Western Kentucky University, as of the last game, he averaged 4.6 points, 1.1 assists, and 1.4 rebounds per game." Tiger watched quietly See information.

While Tiger was looking at the information, Stu Jackson began to say again: "Chris Robinson's salary is about 32 U.S. dollars, which is basically the same as Osella Harrington's salary, and they are both second-round picks. The aspect is still equivalent, the Rockets will not suffer."

"Hehe, Mr. Stu, how do you know that we are not at a disadvantage? From the statistics you see, the two people are indeed similar in terms of statistics. But what you didn't expect is the future prospects of the two of them. I think Mr. Stu has also been a coach Yes, your vision is also there, you shouldn’t be unable to see the gap between the two. Chris Robinson is a guy with extremely poor physical confrontation and cannot survive in the NBA. Just such a player, I think There are as many as you want, and Osella Harrington is different. The inside of the Grizzlies is now dominated by Raheem and Brian Rivers, and Thorpe is the best backup tire for these two people. However, Thorpe Pu is 35 years old this year. How long such an old player can play is still a question mark. However, Ocela is different. To be honest, if our Rockets have a player like Garnett, we will not let go of Ocela. , he is totally worth a $300 million contract to keep him. This kid has defense, rebounds, and offense. There is absolutely no problem averaging 12+5 per game. However, Mr. Stu will take ours It's cheap, and we can exchange players like Chris Robinson, who can be cut at any time, we don't need the Rockets." Tiger said his thoughts calmly but firmly.

This remark made Stu Jackson sweat profusely, and the little calculation in his heart was understood by others.

"Hehe, Mr. Tiger, you are right. Then how do you want to trade? Can you choose our other players with the same price." Stu Jackson smiled a bit reluctantly.

"Hehe, that's no problem. Everyone is discussing this kind of thing. I have a plan here. Let's see if everyone can think about it." Tiger threw out his own plan.

"Oh, Mr. Tiger, please tell me, let's listen." Stu Jackson quickly adjusted his emotions, and he knew that the Rockets had started to make moves.

"We want to use Ocela Harrington and a first-round pick in 98 plus some cash in exchange for Antonio Daniels." Tiger threw a blockbuster.

Once this plan was thrown out, the management of the Grizzlies was shocked.

However, Stu Jackson reacted immediately, shook his head resolutely and said: "Impossible, Daniels is our key training object, Mr. Tiger, you should know that Daniels was the No. 97 rookie in 4, you should know this The gold content of the order."

"Hehe, why don't you refuse so early, Mr. Stu. You have to know that we are talking about business, can you put forward your opinion, can everyone discuss it." Tiger said with a smile.

"If the exchange is equivalent, use Daniels to exchange Ray Allen, what do you think of Mr. Tiger." Stu Jackson immediately proposed his own plan.

As soon as the words fell, Tiger looked at Stu Jackson with a very strange look.

Under such gazes, Stu Jackson couldn't stand it anymore, and said a little embarrassedly: "What's wrong with you, Mr. Tiger, is there something wrong?"

"No, no, Mr. Stu is an excellent manager, and he can quickly find favorable terms of exchange. However, no one is blind. With Ray Allen's current performance, as long as he There are no major injuries in the future, so he must be a member of the Hall of Fame. As for Daniels, he is just a rookie who has played 30 NBA games. I will trade a player who can enter the Hall of Fame in the future for a player who has not Does the NBA prove its players, you will do such a loss-making business." Tiger said slightly mockingly.

"I don't agree with you, Mr. Tiger. You know, Daniels is just a rookie. No one knows what his future will look like. Could it be that he is the next Stockton or the next West?" Is it?" Stu Jackson said without giving in.

"You're right, Mr. Stu. However, what I want to correct you is that Daniels is unlikely to be in the Grizzlies even if he becomes the next Stockton or the next West. You should know that Daniels My good friend is Duncan. I am sure that Daniels will never stay in the Grizzlies next season. I guess he already wants to leave this season. Facing a player who is determined to leave, how can you still Can you stay?" Tiger continued to hit the confidence of the Grizzlies general manager.

As soon as these words came out, Stu Jackson turned pale for a while, and remained silent.

After a moment of silence, Stu Jackson said: "If we let go, how can you guarantee that Daniels can stay in the Rockets."

"You don't need to worry about this problem. Our Rockets have their own means. If the Rockets can't handle even one player, what qualifications do we have to get involved in this year's championship." Tiger's face was full of confidence.

Looking at the domineering Tiger, Stu Jackson thought for a long time.

Finally, he said very unwillingly: "Okay, let's implement Mr. Tiger's plan."

Hearing this sentence, Tiger was very happy and said: "Okay, Mr. Stu, the Rockets will not let their friends suffer. I will open up the database of our Rockets' 98 draft players. The Grizzlies can share it with us, but in Without the consent of the Rockets, you don’t have to spread these materials. Moreover, if the Grizzlies teammates have any difficulties in the future, as long as the Rockets can help, they will never shirk.”

Stu Jackson is also an elf character, so you can understand what's going on as soon as you hear it.

So he also put aside his depression and said happily: "Great, Mr. Tiger, we understand your intentions, Grizzlies will not treat friends badly, business is business, friendship is friendship, tonight I will There is a small banquet, and I hope Mr. Tiger and the staff of the Rockets can attend."

Seeing Stu Jackson's warm invitation, Tiger also readily agreed, and it can be said that the host and guest enjoyed themselves for a while.

After returning to the hotel, Tiger said to Dawson and Lao Tang: "This Stu Jackson is definitely a character. He can choose the most beneficial plan in the shortest time. They also know the situation that Daniels is going to leave. This matter was resolved with one trick. After making friends with the Rockets and throwing out the time bomb in his hand, if the exchange with the Spurs at the end of the season can exchange them for the players they want, the Spurs can say It's the poorest team in the league. Looking at Stu Jackson with a sad face, he actually doesn't know how happy he is. Forget it, let's not talk about it. Everyone gets what they need, but in the future, they need a It will help us if the general manager of the Grizzlies maintains more friendship." Tiger waved his hand.

The next day, the Rockets and the Grizzlies announced the deal together, Osella Harrington plus the 98 first-round pick plus part of the cash deal for the Grizzlies' No. 97 rookie Antonio Daniels in 4.

Such transactions are so common in the league that they were quickly ignored by the media.

However, in the eyes of some caring people, after pushing to rob the Rockets players, the Rockets' counterattack began.

And that's not just the beginning.
