Chapter 300 Swap Transactions
In Bruce's office, Wilkens looked at him in silence, with surprise flashing across his face from time to time!
This offseason, because of some former super giants, once caused competition among multiple teams!

Among them, Ewing and Olajuwon, two superstars, have been sought after by a large number of teams!
Don't talk about Ewing, just talk about Olajuwon's legendary "Fantasy Dance". Even though he has reached the twilight of his career, he can still help the team to a certain extent and even improve the skills of some center players.

"Lanny, how hopeful do you think we are of getting Patrick and Hakim?" Bruce asked with some concern.

"To be honest, if they can accept the veteran's basic salary to join the Warriors, it will be the team's biggest surprise, but." Wilkens shook his head with a wry smile: "Once they don't lower their value at all, I think , Our salary space will look very tight!"

"This..." Thinking of the two people's contracts worth as high as 1400 million US dollars and more than 1600 million US dollars last season, even if they want to win one of them, it will cost Bruce an average annual salary of close to 500 million US dollars. Bright side!
The discussion between the two fell into a standstill for a while.

After a while, Bruce sighed slightly, and said helplessly: "If they won't consider the issue of salary reduction, we can only try to discuss with them in other ways!"

"To be honest, their ability is about 20 minutes on the court, which will bring a very good surprise to any team that gets them!" Wilkens adjusted his glasses, thinking of this happening, especially thinking of Some rumors in the league can't help but say cautiously: "They will be chased by a large number of teams. Unless we can think of some price that will make them excited, otherwise with our salary space, we can only watch them being chased by other teams. get!"

Bruce suddenly fell into contemplation, just like what Wilkens said, if the two of them didn't play about 20 minutes a game, they could still bring some surprises to the team. Like a star who has plummeted, he sadly left the league he had fought for all his life.

On July 7, with the gradual construction of the Warriors' subordinate team under Mullin, a piece of news appeared, which suddenly attracted a lot of attention!
"According to people familiar with the matter, there will be a deal that will shock everyone in the league. Once a certain two teams complete the final deal, this will have a certain degree of impact on the established pattern of the East and West!"

Looking at the information recorded in the newspaper in his hand, Bruce couldn't help but fell into thought!

After the draft, other teams in the league seemed to be undercurrents while considering the luxury tax!

Every team manager has received the final instructions from the boss. Teams with insufficient salary space can consider some transactions within a reasonable range, but they will lose a lot of opportunities when it comes to signing!
And some weak teams with plenty of salary space, with the mentality of "picking up cheap", always keep an eye on the trends of each team, as well as the dynamics and information of some high-quality free agents!

As for the Warriors, although the current salary space still has about 400 million US dollars, once they sign a good role player or complete some transactions, they will inevitably not exceed the salary space. The league pays the luxury tax!
"It's really depressing!" Sitting in his villa, thinking about the previous disclosure of the transaction information, Bruce couldn't help feeling bored for a while!
Even if this deal is caused by two All-Stars, or even two superstars, it is still impossible for him to get involved.

For a deal of this level, generally few people can intervene in the middle. No matter which player they are interested in, the best way is to wait for the two teams to complete the deal before they can choose to trade with one of them. Seal the deal!
"Dingling Bell!!~~"

A phone rang, attracting the boring Bruce over!

"Hello. Who is this??"

Nelson heard some lazy voices in the receiver, and couldn't help but feel amused: "Little guy, you are really leisurely!"

"Uh... hello, Donnie!" Bruce said with some embarrassment, and then sat up straight: "What's the matter?"

Nelson held the receiver in his hand, changed to a more comfortable sitting position, and then said slowly, "Have you heard the news?"

"certainly!!"

After getting Bruce's affirmative answer, Nelson suddenly showed a hint of madness in his eyes: "Do you want to follow up??"

"What??" Bruce almost jumped up in surprise, he was shocked by Nelson's words.

"I got the latest news!!" Nelson smiled secretly, and a smug flash of pride flashed in his eyes!
"Are you sure?" Bruce asked in disbelief!
For things like the league that just revealed that there might be a trade, it is usually because the two sides have done a very strict blockade, so it is difficult to know which two teams choose to trade!

Now, when he suddenly heard Nelson's words, Bruce couldn't help being excited when he thought of how the other party had been in the league for many years.

"Of course!" Nelson said with some pride. Although this alliance is full of all kinds of temptations and seems to be extremely strict, but with Nelson's oil-skinned contacts, there are very few things that he doesn't know about the basic alliance!

"Which two teams are they??" Bruce asked a little excitedly, with some expectation.

"The Nets and the Suns!!"

"What???" Hearing Nelson say the names of these two teams suddenly, Bruce's mind was like a precision instrument, and a most surprising transaction between the two teams popped up!
"Jason and Stephen???" Bruce said subconsciously!

When Nelson heard the words in the receiver, he couldn't help showing a surprised expression on his face: "You... how do you know???"

"Phew~~~" Hearing Nelson's words, Bruce let out a long breath: "Donnie, this deal is almost done. If it weren't for my reliable sources of information, I wouldn't have thought of them!"

"Are you sure?" Nelson said somewhat unexpectedly. According to his understanding, even though the deal between the two parties has a big framework, the deal has not reached the final step after all.

And now, hearing Bruce's sure words, Nelson couldn't help but feel a wave of doubt.

"Okay, Donnie, I think it's hard for us to intervene!" Bruce suddenly returned to his previous laziness. To be honest, he basically has no interest in this deal!
Before, there were some signs of a deal between the two teams. Kidd and Marbury complained that the team and the managers of the two teams were photographed having a meal together by the media. At first, they also met by chance. It's over!

And now, with the memories emerging in his mind, Bruce no longer has the slightest interest in this deal!
The exchange between Kidd and Marbury, it sounds good, each takes what it needs, but the bad thing is that the two teams have become difficult to control these two guys, and this is why there is such a seemingly equal situation. deal!

"Uh..." Nelson handed over the receiver of his right hand to his left with some embarrassment, and licked his dry lips: "Little guy, don't you want to make some changes?"

After hearing Nelson's words, Bruce suddenly understood the other party's intentions!
"Hehe, Downey, the Warriors have reached a very ideal situation, so... sorry!" Bruce said slowly with a playful look on his face.

"Aha, this." Nelson didn't know how to respond when he heard Bruce's words!
Originally in his plan, although he was also very interested in the trade of these two teams, what he was most interested in was the high-quality rookies and players in the hands of Bruce!
Before, because he learned that Nowitzki had completed a contract extension with the Warriors, Nelson put his mind on other players!

The Warriors' rookies and some high-quality and cheap players really made Nelson greedy.

In order to get the Warriors players in a reasonable situation, Nelson had this plan when he learned of the deal between the Suns and the Nets!
However, Nelson couldn't help being embarrassed and didn't say a word for a long time when he heard something meaningful from Bruce's mouth!

"Sorry, Lanny, I have a guest here. If there's nothing else, then..." Bruce tapped on the table twice on purpose, and said apologetically with a playful smile.

"Uh...Okay...Okay!" Nelson heard Bruce's meaning, and finally had no choice but to hang up the phone!
"This shrewd little fox!!" Nelson put the receiver away, and cursed a little bit dumbfoundingly!
Bruce thought about Nelson's purpose with a smile on his face: "This old guy really thinks I'm still the same as I was back then!"

On July 7, when the Suns and the Nets both announced the completion of the transaction on their respective official websites, the exchange between Kidd and Marbury really caused quite a stir!

In the team office, Bruce calmly looked at the managers of the two teams who were announcing the news on TV, feeling a pang of regret in his heart!
Regarding the abilities of the two, Bruce knew very well how powerful they were!

If Marbury can be more selfless, he will tear off the previous "slightly selfish" hat.

Since Marbury left the Timberwolves that year, although he has satisfied his desire for high salary and status, but in the days of the Nets, he really did not bring some positive changes to this team!

However, after Kidd left the Mavericks because of a woman problem, he not only continued his growth, but also used exquisite assists and clear organization to gradually bring the Suns into a strong team after Barkley left for many years. line up!

Today, although Kidd and the management once had a violent conflict, once he plays, he is still the top point guard.

In the end, when the details of the exchange between the two parties were revealed on TV, Bruce's face flashed with a look of great anticipation, and he got up suddenly and walked towards the door!
　I haven't said anything for a long time, and I'm going to chatter a few words today!

　　What was there to see in the NBA more than ten years ago?
　　Can't you not be inked?
