I'm the boss in the NBA

Chapter 83 Finalizing the Deal
The Bulls seemed a little dissatisfied with this bargaining chip, but they did not refuse, but asked the Rockets to add an extra first-round pick on this basis.

Mr. Su didn't agree, but just said to think about it.

Later, he got inside information from some special channels. The Bulls were eager to trade Artest at this time. The Bulls' record this season is at the bottom of the league. If there is no accident this season, the Bulls are going to compete for the No. [-] pick again.

Therefore, the Bulls' management is going to tear down the team lineup, use high draft picks to choose a cornerstone of the team in the future, and add Tyson Chandler to rebuild.

They have contacted the Pacers before, but the bargaining chip given by the Pacers is Jaylen Rose as the main body of the transaction, plus a few marginal players and second-round picks.

Mr. Su thought about it for a while, and felt that the Pacers didn't give as much bargaining chips as the Rockets did.

After all, as a player who averaged nearly 19 points per game last season, Mobley has star power. This season he came off the bench, averaging less than 25 minutes per game, and scoring dropped to 15 points, but this is not because he is not strong enough. It's that the team doesn't have so many possessions for him. If it really depends on scoring in 48 minutes, his efficiency ranks at the forefront of the team.

And Jaylen Rose is not much better than Mobley. If you only look at the data, Mobley's three-pointer is much better than Jaylen Rose, and his offensive ability is not bad. He is at the peak of his age and is more worthy of training. .

What's more, Mobley's contract is an annual salary of more than 400 million for three years, while Jaylen Rose's annual salary is up to 5 million for 1500 years. There is a high probability that Mobley will be chosen.

With this news as a basis, Mr. Su has confidence in his heart. He killed him with this bargaining chip, and the Bulls were anxious to trade the assassin Artest, so they agreed after a day of entanglement. A second-round pick, and as an extra, they gave Charles Oakley in the last year of his contract. This is an old player with an annual salary of 655 million US dollars.

The league quickly approved the deal. The Rockets paid the old cat Mobley, Mucci Norris, Kevin Willis and the 2005 second-round pick to the Bulls for Ron Artest, Brad Miller, Charles Oakley.

This transaction increased the Rockets' total salary by more than 100 million US dollars again, and it is estimated that they will have to pay tens of millions of US dollars in luxury taxes. However, this is not a worry for President Su. Leigh has quit his job as a commentator and has gone to the team to participate in recovery training. It would be embarrassing if there is no vacant position.

Originally, he only needed to lay off Oakley in the last year of his contract. After all, this NBA boss who fights more than he plays has no ability now. He occupies a precious position in vain. It is better to keep Norris. next.

But who made Oakley be Jordan's guard with a knife back then? Hearing that the team had traded to Oakley, Jordan called to confirm and asked about the situation with concern.

In order to save Jordan's face, President Su also dismissed the idea of ​​laying off Oakley, but he also told Jordan that Oakley was very dissatisfied with his little brother Ben Wallace being beaten up by Randolph. I hope Jordan can reconcile it and not cause trouble.

Jordan took over the job of peacemaker very generously. Based on his friendship with Oakley, it must be much better than Ben Wallace. What's more, this matter was initiated by Da Ben. Wrong first.

When Mr. Su was worrying, the phone rang suddenly. He looked down and saw that it was an unfamiliar number, so he answered it suspiciously.

"Uncle Su, my name is Whitney Kroenke. My father is Stan Kroenke, the owner of the Nuggets. I am now the general manager of the Nuggets." The person opposite turned out to be Su Yi's "old" Lover Whitney, this little girl succeeded in usurping the throne so quickly and became the general manager of the Nuggets. If Su Yi knew it, she would be shocked.

"Hello, Miss Kroenke, what can you do?" President Su asked suspiciously.

"I want to make a deal with you, Mr. Su. I know that your team needs inside players now, and our team can do it~" Whitney proposed a trade idea to Mr. Su, but before she finished speaking, she stopped. broken.

"Miss Kroenke, your news is a bit late. We have already completed the transaction with the Bulls, and we have no shortage of inside positions." President Su explained to Whitney.

Mr. Su thought, counting Barkley, there is no shortage of people, but he was worried about how to draw Barkley into the team. Thinking of this, he couldn't help sighing.

Whitney's eyes lit up when she heard President Su's sigh!
She hurriedly asked Mr. Su what troubles she had, and she could provide help. In order to be convincing, she even revealed her relationship with Su Yi.

Hearing that this girl was his son's female classmate, or a relationship between boyfriend and girlfriend, President Su was also taken aback.

Su Yi always knows that Su Yi has many girlfriends. After all, so many security guards rely on his salary to live, so why don't they tell him about Su Yi's life, so he knows everything about Su Yi's actions in the manor. Chu.

However, he really didn't expect that one of his son's girlfriends turned out to be the general manager of an NBA team, or the kind of team owner's daughter.

He told Whitney about his troubles. He is not a scheming businessman, so he didn't hide anything from Whitney, and told his difficulties honestly.

"Uncle, does your team's Walter Williams have any ideas for trading? We can give the pick to trade."

Whitney has also done some research on the Rockets' roster in the past two days. Just to facilitate this transaction, she wants to use her power to help Su Yi without a trace.

She can't let her father think that she is doing business for personal gain and giving benefits to her lover. That will make her little father angry and fire herself.

God knows, is it because my dad let me work part-time as the general manager of the team this time because I can pay less for the general manager's salary, after all, I don't get paid for my work, this is pure labor exploitation!
President Su thought for a while and replied, "If the price is right, this player can be traded."

Although this Walter Williams can be regarded as his son's younger brother, if he has a particularly good bargaining chip, it is not impossible to change his club for them. After all, he is in a contract year this season.

"What do you think of a second-round pick, let's take Walter's 500 million contract." Whitney tentatively put forward a trade proposal.

"This is impossible. The player you are talking about is not a garbage contract. He is a bench gangster who can score 23 points and 9.4 rebounds in 3.5 minutes off the bench. His three-point shooting percentage can reach 42%. Is a very good player, I would not trade him without a good chip, I think he is worth a first round pick."

President Su also argued with reason. In his eyes, Walter is a good player, at least worth more than a second-round pick.

"Uncle, you have to know that you only have one year left on this player's contract. Even if he plays well, can you keep him? If he wants a high salary, can you pay him? You are already over the salary cap. gone."

Whitney explained to Mr. Su that signing NBA players is not something you can sign just because you have money. Without salary space, you can only watch players being poached by other teams.

In the end, the Nuggets traded the second-round picks of 02 and 05 to the Rockets' Walter Williams.

After the transaction was completed, Whitney rubbed her forehead and forced a player from the Rockets with an annual salary of 500 million. It seems that she needs to ask her father to explain it. Fortunately, this player is not bad. His stingy character will definitely feel distressed.
