Card Bishop of Basketball

Chapter 74 If you want to sell, you have to cheat

After the draft, Meng Yifan encouraged Shi Yong and Hu Xuefeng. These two kids have good personalities, and Hu Xuefeng is okay. Although the place where the Raptors went is small, the atmosphere in the locker room is not bad. Shi Yong's words...

Well, going to the Green Army can temper Shi Yong's temper. Whether it is Fat Toutuo or Mercer, they are not easy to get along with. When Shi Yong comes to the Green Army, let's start with defense...

Then I warned them not to slacken their training, maintain their physical condition and competition condition, and take it easy during the summer league, so as not to get injured or anything.

I don't know how Xia Lian met the Chinese team again, roughly, what kind of feelings Hu Weidong and the others would have when they saw the performance of their former little brother.

Meng Yifan contacted the country through the bus. The Olynik star card he obtained before cannot be wasted. There is a player who is in his prime and has a deep friendship with the bus. He can fool that player and play for the Warriors for two years. , Then he can go to chase big contracts, and the Warriors also have enough depth in the lineup, which is very good for each other.

(Inside player, he was selected for the national team, played on the same team as Daba, a veteran of the CBA, and was in the golden age and peak age of athletes in 97. You can take a guess.)
The Pacers came to offer the golden left hand Mullin, and they gave it with full sincerity. They previously selected the inside tank Dampier with a high pick, plus some scattered role players, draft picks and the like, how can I say it? , I feel like he is an honest person, putting all the chips on the table for you to choose from, but Meng Yifan doesn't like any of this pile of chips.

Meng Yifan feels that he is now a sea king, a scumbag, although he knows that it is impossible to be with the Pacers, but he still wants to hang the Pacers as a licking dog, and put on a posture that his old lady is very hot, and they all come to chase after her .

It is said that insiders are valuable now, but Meng Yifan put Joe Smith on the shelf and found that there were not many offers, let alone a madman who needs to hold the ball to play. The attributes were exposed last season when he quarreled with the old coach Adelman on the sidelines, and not many teams were willing to take over.

Knowing Meng Yifan's troubles, the general manager of the Warriors smiled slightly and said that although you have a strong ability to monitor rookies, you still have to look at me when it comes to trading. The key to selling players is to find the right person.

Who did Meng Yifan contact before?The head coaches of each team, those who can be the head coaches, will not be too stupid, and some head coaches themselves do not have the right to trade. Meng Yifan will definitely not agree to contact them.

And if you want to sell this player, who do you go to, the general manager of each team, or even the owner of each team. Some general managers only like weird and messy data analysis, regardless of whether a player is self-disciplined or not. Yes, as long as the data analysis says that this player is a good player, he will be signed immediately.

Some bosses usually don’t care about things and just like to throw out coins when they have nothing to do, to prove that they are rich and rich. If this kind of boss is a teammate, we will affectionately call them, coin-sprinkling boss, but if it is As for other people's teammates, we will happily pit them without discussing.

Well, as we all know, who is the most famous coin-throwing owner in the NBA? It is the owner of the New York Knicks. James Dolan, who is stupid and fast at money, and Meng Yifan, may also have demand for Knicks players. After all A trade maniac must find someone with a similar salary, and the Knicks' Houston is a good choice.

Several teams that had discussed the trade in advance, announced the trade on the second day of the draft, and countless people immediately came out to criticize the Warriors, saying that the Warriors were simply an act of capitalizing on the enemy. The Eastern Bulls were already overwhelming the teams. In the end, you sponsored two former All-Star veterans for the Bulls. You were simply afraid that the Eastern Conference team would live more comfortably.

The Warriors fans didn't respond to this. For them, this is the old man who led the team and lost all the time last season. They don't know how much oil is in the fuel tank, but if they can be changed to a rookie, they don't have any opinion. After all, it is a newcomer selected by the famous Mr. M in the United States, so there are probably two brushes.

With the help of the general manager of the Warriors, Meng Yifan learned about all kinds of people who cheat teammates in the NBA, such as the Knicks owner James Dolan, the Rockets owner Alexander, and the Wizards' messy management...

Meng Yifan met Dolan in a tavern in New York. He never imagined that a rich man like James Dolan, who is so ordinary, would actually be an underground singer in a tavern, singing hysterically. …

We don’t judge whether the singing is good or not. Anyway, the people in the tavern are very happy, drinking wine with accompaniment, and even getting money. This kind of coin thrower is hard to find with a lantern.

Knowing the reason for Meng Yifan's visit, Dolan, who had just sang a song, asked people to search the data of Madman last season. When he saw the hunk who averaged more than 20 points per game and rattled, Dolan's heart was moved.

"The Warriors will do poorly next season. '98 was a good draft year. University of the Pacific's Olowokandi is a good player. We hope he can become the dream of Golden State." Meng Yifan organized his words and said Started talking nonsense.

"Sprewell is a good player. He has a strong threat from the perimeter and can ferociously tear apart the opponent's perimeter defense. To be honest, if it weren't for the historical level players in the draft next year, our Warriors would definitely not choose to play poorly. "

"The main body of our transaction is the big money, but in order to balance the salary, you can just add Alan Houston to us. It just so happens that the Warriors are almost sold out on the outside line. Take him back to brush up the data, and he can be sold at a good price in the future. " Meng Yifan was talking nonsense in a serious manner, if he hadn't known that Meng Yifan wanted Houston before coming here, he would probably have deceived the general manager of the Warriors.

"Ben, it's impossible." When Dolan heard Big Ben's name, he instantly understood that you said a thousand words and ten thousand, so he was still greedy for Big Ben, but it's a pity that Big Ben is in my hands and he can't get out.

"Houston can give it to you. As a bonus, I will also give you the pick in 98. What is the name of the insider who was drafted in the same year as Big Ben, and I will give it to you together." Dolan said cheerfully. In his opinion, the Warriors' behavior of sending warmth is simply not too pleasant.

"Mr. Dolan, we cannot accept your conditions. They are too harsh. There are many suitors for Sprewell as a player. There is no need for us to hang ourselves on a tree in the Knicks." Meng Yifan stood up to leave, but secretly said Just kidding, not only did he get to Houston, but he also got a draft pick for free.

And the Knicks selected back then, whether it was John Wallace or Masaki Walker, they were all remarkable, strong role players, a locker room cancer data brush who could only get the ball in, in exchange for A Houston, a late first-round pick in 98, and a high-quality role player are simply blood money.

Houston can play without the ball or with the ball. Basically, he likes the mid-range shot. Ray Allen, and the reason he likes the mid-range shot is because of the times. After training for a period of time, the three-pointer can still be developed.

In fact, when Billups was selected in the draft, the madman left the team and entered the countdown. A high-ranking point guard needs the ball to be cultivated, and the madman also needs the ball. If the madman is not sent away, how can Billups be cultivated?

"In this way, we will add the draft pick in 99." Dolan couldn't hold his breath anymore. The gorilla Ewing's state was declining day by day, and he saw it. New York needed a new king at this time. Before training, Madman first became the outside core, and then Big Ben took over the position of King of New York. Within ten years, the Knicks basically had no worries about their record.

"To save face for you, we will lose a little bit in this deal." Meng Yifan reluctantly gave up, but in fact he was already happy in his heart, and with a few acts of pretense, he got another draft pick in 99 and the first pick in 98. There can be many good players in the first round. At the end of the first round in 99, they could even directly win roughly...

Even a little more boldly, if the madman goes to the Knicks, the ball rights are not compatible. It is not impossible for the Knicks to directly give the Warriors two lottery picks.
