Forward to the basket

Celtics owner Vic Grosbeck is not the richest in the NBA, his net worth is only over 3 million, but the big consortium behind this guy has assets of more than 100 billion at the bottom.

When they acquired the Celtics, they also defeated many competitors in order to take this veteran team into account. Although they have not won the championship since then, as the owner, Vic has been He is very confident, and this guy's reliance on Auerbach's banner has also allowed him to gain a firm foothold in Boston. Now many Boston fans have begun to accept such a foreign boss.

But Vic Grosbeck is not James Dolan, he doesn't have the prodigal second generation ancestor in New York. At least in terms of team investment, he still pursues pragmatism and doesn't spend money easily.

Although Vic is also very willing to spend money on team investment, he has never done the second-hand behavior of competing with the luxury tax for nothing. Uh, the entire NBA may only be as crazy as Dolan and Cuban.

Therefore, when Angie considers the cost of the team and the possibility of trading, he is like a little daughter-in-law. He dare not spend a lot of money easily, and trigger the luxury tax ceiling, which is the bottom line of the Celtics' trading.

Careful calculation, but you need to think about spending money. This is the current state of Angie. He doesn't want people to say that he is a terrible team manager. After all, he is not as thick-skinned as Thomas.

Now the salary space that Angie can use is only about 350 million. At this price, if you want to get a few practical players, it is basically impossible.

Especially for insiders, it is even more impossible. Originally, there is a shortage of insiders now, and ordinary blue-collar workers can get a salary of 500 million. Who can automatically reduce their worth and come to Boston?

Even if there is a glorious past here, compared with the green dollars, the attraction of honor has faded, and Angie is not sure that he can recruit any suitable players.

The salary space is not very attractive to those players who are still free agents, and there are not many roles that can be recruited that can make people shine. This gap in the inside makes Angie the most headache.

After all, Rivers had already made it clear to him that Jefferson and Feng Chen had certain offensive firepower in the inside line.

Once these two guys foul too much or are absent due to injuries, he can only rely on Ogwakandi to stand up. Perkins is really hardworking, but this guy's offensive ability to face the basket is really not good.

Perkins' defense is not bad, but if it's offense, he has to add one more point, otherwise the opponent will stick to Jefferson and Chen Feng. If there is an accident, Rivers will have no players who can step up.

As for Ratliff and Ogwakandi, they are almost forgotten by Rivers. If you expect them to perform miraculously, it is better to expect an extra $100 million in bed when you wake up tomorrow morning.

Anyway, Rivers has put these words down, and now we can only see what kind of goods Angie can buy for him, and whether it can be used. This depends on his ability as a team manager.

The salary space in his hands is not large enough, and he is not attractive to players. The only way out may be to trade, and exchange the players in his hands with others. No one knows what he may get in exchange.

The problem that makes Angie a headache is that the Celtics can let go of the trade now, and there are really not many.

Needless to say, Ratliff's kind of stuff, if the big contract goes there, no one in the average team would dare to take it over.

Unless it is to buy out the contract for next summer's salary space and recruit big-name players, Ratliff generally can't make a move. If you want to trade a few draft picks with others, no one will take care of you.

This is a complete non-performing asset. At the beginning, it was so easy to throw out LaFrentz's contract with an annual salary of more than 1000 million and exchange it for such a great god. The result is good. There is no difference between the inside and the outside.

I had hoped that Ratliff would be able to play his role in the interior, but who would have thought that this guy's old injury has affected his mental state, and it is probably impossible for him to regain the demeanor of the shot-blocking king.

In fact, it's not that no one has contacted Angie, it's just that they want to do something to Rondo and Chen Feng. Angie definitely can't bear this condition. Now, except for Pierce, these two little guys are determined not to move.

Angie has even considered that before Jefferson signs the next contract, he can even put him on the trade list, but Chen Feng and Rondo, these two boys represent the future of the team.

What's more, Chen Feng was picked out by Auerbach himself. If he was let go, the old man would have to use a cane to blow his head off?Anji's scalp is numb just thinking about it, how dare he agree.

However, there are several potential deals that could be made next summer, including a team that is about to change home, and their star star has already begun to prepare to go to Boston through his agent.

That is a real All-Star, not adulterated, not parallel imports, but that team has decided to rebuild, and a leading core who is over 30 years old is definitely not the basis for rebuilding they want to leave behind.

When Anji heard the wind, he really made the move early enough. He had already approached the other party when he had the intention. Anyway, the two sides hit it off, and they just waited for the arrival of next summer.

Although that is a deal that will only appear next summer, Angie has already bound a ruthless role that can satisfy fans' desire to watch stars and satisfy Rivers in advance.

But that's for next season, and the troubles in front of him need to be solved, so now Angie is in a relatively remote and quiet coffee shop in Boston, and there is a black man sitting in front of him.

A big celebrity who could be said to be proud of the spring breeze two years ago, but there were countless people envious of this guy's luck two years ago, and many people seemed to be like him, but genius is not so easy to touch.

At least at the time, this guy was definitely a newcomer in the agent circle. He might not have too many players, but he had one of them, which was enough to show off.

Falk had the golden signboard of Joe's gang leader back then, so he could become a super predator in the agent circle, and the one in front of Angie also had a golden signboard, LeBron James.

From 03 to 05, the guy sitting across from Angie won a sponsorship contract worth 1.35 million US dollars for the little emperor. This is not the income of the nba. It all comes from outside the arena. It is completely the commercial contract of those sponsors , With such a big fish in hand, it is no wonder that Goodwin will become the number one celebrity.

Even Bill Duffy, this guy's original partner, said, "Brother Goodwin has the luck that others envy, and the little emperor James in his hand can create at least a billion dollars in value."

One billion U.S. dollars, some people are still conservatively estimating it. If the potential added value is included, it may exceed 15 billion. Anyway, many people have said that the Little Emperor is definitely a gold mine.

The one sitting opposite Angie is one of the Goodwin brothers, Aaron Goodwin. In addition to the little emperor, he also had a No. [-] pick, Howard of the Magic.

It's just that no one knows why in 05, the little emperor James suddenly stopped cooperating with the Goodwin brothers and turned to others. Anyway, the rumors in the market are always a little weird.

Uh, anyway, the media intentionally or unintentionally always put the split between Goodwin and the little emperor around the empress dowager. In fact, what they meant was that Goodwin would go to sleep if he had nothing to do.

If this matter were placed in China, it might still feel a little shocking, after all, it is the mother of the partner.

But if this thing is placed in the open United States, it is probably because of the reputation of the little emperor, otherwise, it is not a big deal. After all, there is such a saying abroad that if you are a white-collar employee who works from [-] to [-], you have never slept. If you are a colleague or the wife of a colleague, then you are really a fool.

So those rumors and pretentious things, although no one can really stand up to prove anything, but the little emperor and Goodwin did break up, which also caused Goodwin to suffer heavy losses in terms of income.

(West and the little emperor's mother broke the news, and Goodwin's news also broke out, but whether it is true or not, everyone can judge for themselves. In fact, I sympathize with the little emperor on this matter. An uneasy mother, she is definitely cheating! If this is true, the little emperor will be very depressed.)

As for why the little emperor was separated from Goodwin, Anji was not interested in knowing. He only cared about the person in front of him and what good news he could bring to him.

"Hi, Alan, I see that you seem to be very busy, so I hope..." Angie was a bit straightforward this time, he knew that the opposite person was working hard to create a second little emperor.

"Okay, Danny, I was the first to notify you after receiving the call. That's what he meant. You also know that Chris is close to retiring. He hopes to find a team with high combat effectiveness."

"The people of Detroit contacted me, but I didn't promise them anything. Your team has impressed Chris very much. Maybe he can play for two or three years, so he hopes to hear about the team's future vision."

"You know, when players reach this age, they always dream of wearing a championship ring that represents honor before leaving the NBA, and Boston is a good choice, at least I think so."

Angie didn't hide anything, and Aaron Goodwin answered the straight-forward question. If this was Howard's contract, maybe Goodwin would become a little more cunning, but the one we are going to talk about now, He is almost approaching his retirement age, and if he is lucky, he can last for two or three years.

But the contract of such a veteran will not involve too many interests. Although Goodwin is a profiteer, but in view of the face of the long-term cooperation, he can be regarded as a rare benevolence, and he did not open his mouth.

"Aaron, you should be able to see how long the Pistons can maintain their competitiveness. Yes, they have won championships and the team is still there, but after leaving Ben, the cohesion has been declining."

"What kind of coach Sanders is, you know, and I know, he wants to see offense, but the Pistons have never been a team that relies on offense to win, so their combination is not strong."

"Last season they were defeated by the Heat. This season, if they still can't make it to the finals, what is waiting for them is rebuilding or a big deal. Even if they can make it to the finals, the Spurs and Mavericks still have No matter who the Suns are, they will become their big trouble. The time for the Pistons to win the championship has passed, and Boston is gradually recovering. Even Chris himself believes that we do have potential. Sinking ship, why not consider another one?"

"Aaron, I hope you can take these words to Chris. If he has a decision, the promise I can make is a veteran contract. Maybe the salary is not much for him, but it means I am famous. Sincerity, I believe that if he chooses Boston, the future of this team will definitely not let him down."

After speaking so many words in one breath, Anji smacked his slightly dry lips. He was waiting for the other party's response, even if it was not the final answer, a positive response would be good.

At least Goodwin's agent has the ability to make it necessary for Angie to spare time to invite the other party. Without spending a lot of money, that guy may be the best choice.

"Danny, I will bring it, but the final decision is still in Chris himself. I can only say that Boston has something that attracts me. I hope he feels the same way. At least he treats your little guy with number 99, Very interested, probably Chris wouldn't have let me come here if it wasn't for that little guy."

Uh, Anji didn't expect that there is such a layer inside, Chen Feng?That wild boy?Still have such a hand?

I really didn't notice it usually, this little guy can still hook up with people, let me go, is this an extra skill?

The conversation between Angie and Aaron Goodwin was not long. After all, this was an extraordinary moment, and no one wanted to be noticed by those reporters. It is better to keep this kind of private contact low-key.

Goodwin has to go back and discuss with his agent how to take the next step. After all, there will be news over there in the past few days. Once everything is finalized, they must contact the team as soon as possible.

And what Angie needs to do is just wait for news, and besides this one target that needs to be hooked up, he also has to consider what else he can do with the remaining salary space.

If the deal is completed, then he will have to start trying to contact the remaining target persons. Compared with the one just now, the ones he will contact next are not good people.

Once the savage who is idle at home goes crazy, nothing can stop him. Now Anji doesn't know if his move is a bit too risky.

And whether the other party can agree to the conditions I set, the devil knows, and this guy has been idle for almost a year, and Anji is a little uncertain about how far he can recover.

But compared with the few bench players in his team, at least in terms of perimeter, scoring and defense, that guy is still good, although he is a bit wild.

But in the Celtics team, there is a wilder little lunatic. Now Angie is looking forward to it. If these two unscrupulous guys meet, who can be more ruthless?

Is it the bald wild boy, or the one I'm about to meet?Uh, when Angie thought of that guy, she touched her neck subconsciously...

Angie, with a rippling face, is implementing his own hookup plan, I hope God can bless this guy.

(Comrades, red ticket support!!! Finally, Xiaofeng pushed it once, you must work hard!)
