Chapter 235
The next day, Bruce, who returned to Oakland alone, did not continue to follow the team to the away game, but sat alone in the office frowning and meditating!

Since Bruce brought some players with different characteristics from previous lives to the Warriors, this team has gradually grown into a team that cannot be underestimated with the tacit understanding and the growth of the players!

But with this exciting situation, the team is overstaffed, and there are as many as 10 players who can play, which puts great pressure on Wilkens and Bruce!

Watching a famous player keep working hard for the only playing time, even if it looks beautiful, this situation will very likely appear in their growth that is difficult to reconcile!
Even if Bruce can be suppressed temporarily with his word-of-mouth in the past few years, once these players play wonderful games and energy, leaving here will definitely be a topic they keep thinking about.

With both Dampier and Wallace at the center position, Przybilla, as the third choice, although he can't see anything at the moment, he will definitely grow up gradually and feel uncomfortable with his current status!
Power forward, with Nowitzki in control, Marshall and Danny Fortson will be extremely wasteful.

From the previous games, Marshall, who was originally capable of competing for the leader of the Warriors, has gradually shrunk and changed positions, making him not only failed to grow into a first-class star, but gradually reduced to a very good role. players.

Danny Fortson's powerful ability fully demonstrated his super adaptability and toughness to everyone in the previous airport competition.

Although Fortson is very speechless in terms of fouls, his super high efficiency still makes Bruce and Wilkens excited!
For the small forward position, with Hughes currently in control, it would be better if he chooses to trade, but if Jordan does not make an attractive offer, he will still become the unshakable main player in this position!
Others such as Bowen, Posey, and Mullin seemed a bit outweighted, which also brought great trouble to Bruce and Wilkens!
Although Hughes is strong offensively, his poor defense makes the players facing him perform well. Although Bowen and the others are very good on the defensive end, they are not satisfactory on the offensive end. It had to make Bruce and Wilkens enter a multiple-choice question of offense and defense!
Fortunately, the shooting guards are all veterans and fringe players, so this position and point guard are fairly stable!

What is currently in front of Bruce is the position of power forward and small forward!

Cuban's proposal made Bruce a little bit excited, but it was not a very exciting trade proposal.

"It's really a headache!" Bruce rubbed his brows, and after relieving his aching head, a trace of determination suddenly appeared on his face!
Cuban sat in the office a little depressed. The negotiation with Bruce yesterday really made him very depressed!
"Mark, it seems that Bruce will not put Dirk on the trading table!" Old Nelson looked at Cuban with regret.

"What we have to do now is not to get Dirk, but to find a way to solve the team's small forward position!" Cuban frowned and knocked on the desk in front of him, and said depressedly: "Am I right about the draft pick?" Is the approach a bit extreme?"

"The draft pick is for us. Our situation does not allow us to make a trade commitment within two years. Even if we take out the draft pick, I don't think the little fox Bruce will be very satisfied!" Old Nelson looked at Ku with a smile. Ben, thinking of the previous transactions with Bruce, couldn't help laughing knowingly.

"However, after the analysis of the data analyst, James fits the team's current tactical system very well, and will definitely strengthen us to a certain extent!" Cuban stood up a little unhappily. ambition!

Since acquiring the Mavericks, he has added all his experience to the team.

Judging from the transactions and signings in the summer, Cuban is using his own actions to gradually achieve his goals!
"Our goal for this season is very clear!" A trace of determination flashed across Cuban's face, and he looked at Old Nelson and said, "No matter what method we use, we must use all available resources to strengthen the team, even if it will hurt the team. The implementation of the luxury tax next season will bring certain troubles, as long as it can improve the competitiveness of the team, you can use all the resources to obtain opportunities for reinforcement!!"

Old Nelson looked at Cuban with a casual face in astonishment. Even though he knew the other party's strong financial resources, he was still indescribably excited when he heard such unscrupulous words, yes, it was excitement! !
As an old coach and team manager, his favorite is Cuban, a boss who is willing to spend a lot of money for the team. If it weren't for Cohan's stinginess, old Nelson would definitely not choose to leave the team that made him unhappy. She's team!
"Then, is the luxury tax really unnecessary?" Old Nelson still asked cautiously.

"Aha, Donnie, what do you think of a glass of top-notch red wine?" Cuban looked at Old Nelson playfully, then walked to the small bar in the office, took out a bottle of red wine that was obviously quite old, and looked at it fascinated. : "For me, the luxury tax is just a trivial bottle of red wine!!"

"Red wine??" Old Nelson looked at Cuban's indifferent expression, and he finally felt Cuban's madness!
"Okay, I think I've made a plan!" Nelson excitedly took the top red wine from Cuban, sniffed it enjoying it and took a sip!
Cuban looked at Nelson with a smile on his face, thinking of the previous negotiations with Bruce, and then said: "If we want to get James Posey of the Warriors, judging from Bruce's previous enthusiasm for draft picks , We have to come up with a future draft pick to complete this deal!"

Nelson put down his wine glass, looked at Cuban who was a bit tangled, and said with a smile: "There is basically no problem!"

"No problem?" Cuban looked at Old Nelson suspiciously. For him, in the future planning, the draft picks in recent years must be a very important bargaining chip for them to trade or choose potential rookies. But judging from Nelson's expression now, this is obviously not a very difficult question to choose!

"After receiving your strong support, I already have some plans!" Nelson simply sat down, took out a small notebook and pen from his body, and immediately wrote on it: "We can change Take a look at the progress of some plans!"

Immediately, the two had an in-depth discussion on the Mavericks' future plans.

After clinking glasses with smiles, they finally reached a final consensus!

On December 12, when the Warriors lost back-to-back games against the Spurs, everyone returned to Oakland on a chartered flight with exhaustion!

"Bruce, what's the rush?" Wilkens looked at the distressed Bruce with a tired look, very confused about his call.

"Lanny, am I really indecisive?" Bruce said with a wry smile.

"It's okay!" Although Wilkens really wanted to say that, considering Bruce's mood at this time, he still chose to answer vaguely.

"Hehe, it seems that I am really not suitable to personally handle some transactions!" Bruce laughed at himself, and then said a little disappointed: "If James is traded, is there any unexpected situation for him and the team? occur?"

"Uh...James?" Wilkens looked at Bruce in surprise. Since Posey joined the Warriors, Wilkens admired his efforts very much. Now he suddenly heard Bruce's question, and couldn't help but move: " Who wants to have him?"

"calf!!"

Hearing that the team wanted Posey, Wilkens couldn't help but fell into deep thought!
Bruce looked at Wilkens quietly, and he really wanted him to give him an ideal result!

"If we choose to trade, we can focus on cultivating B. Bowen. He has already shown super defensive ability!" Wilkens thought for a while, thought about it, and said slowly.

"B Bowen's defensive ability is very strong, which can be seen from his crazy performance on the defensive end this season. I understand your suggestion very well!" After getting the answer Bruce wanted, Wilkens stared at him. After a while, he finally made a final decision: "I hope Downey and Mark can train James well!"

Cuban was checking some information about the team in his office, and was about to turn a page when the phone on the table rang!

"Hi, this is Mark Cuban!"

Hearing the familiar voice, Bruce couldn't help but said with a wry smile: "Mark, as long as you can provide a future draft pick, we will get a perfect deal!"

"Aha, Bruce, you are so exciting!" After hearing Bruce's proposal on the phone, Cuban was really excited!
"After my discussion with Downey, if the deal between us is reached, we will pay you a 2004 first-round pick as a bargaining chip in exchange!" Cuban closed the file excitedly, thinking of the previous discussion with Nelson , can't help feeling proud!
Bruce recalled the situation of the 04 draft in his previous life, but something happened that made him extremely depressed. In this year's draft, he only thought of the top picks Dwight Howard and Emeka Okafor. Players, the situation of other players seems a bit vague!
Before, because he had proposed the final bottom line of the trade to Cuban, Bruce could no longer go back on his word, so he could only say helplessly: "Mark, to be honest, James is a player with great potential. I hope you can cultivate him well. he!"

"Of course, that's exactly what we're going to do!" Cuban said excitedly. With the addition of Posey, Finley and Nash are free and competitive at the small forward position while being liberated!
The next day, when the deal between the Warriors and the Mavericks was completed, as the league gradually entered its state, it seemed that they were not so concerned about the small deal between the two teams!

　The second watch, it seems that the old wolf is going to stay up late.

　　Hope to complete the third update before 12 o'clock!
