NBA Ten Thousand Worlds Bishop

Chapter 252 The Deal Behind Davidson's Back
In the season that just ended, Nelson did not continue to serve as the head coach of a certain team, but joined the Dallas Mavericks as the general manager of the Mavericks.

Tonight he came to participate in the draft on behalf of the Mavericks.

"Mr. Nelson, I haven't seen you for a while." Davidson warmly gave old Nelson a hug.

Not far away, Rockets head coach Tang Shuai came over.

"Wilson, thank you, I wish us a happy transaction." Tang Shuai said to Davidson with a smile all over his face.

Davidson was at a loss. What kind of medicine did Tang Shuai take wrongly? Why did he thank himself for being so good?
trade? !
For a moment, Davidson had an ominous premonition in his heart.

Could it be that Petrie made a deal with the Rockets without telling himself?

This kind of thing seems like Petrie can really do it.

The general manager of the team itself has the right to be fully responsible for the transaction. Now that Davidson is unknown, it is quite possible to finalize the transaction in just over a day.

Davidson was extremely annoyed, but right now it was not easy to ask Tang Shuai in detail.

If you ask, don't you tell everyone present that you are completely unaware of this transaction? !

You must know that Davidson is the meritorious head coach who just led the team to win the championship. As a result, the team did not notify him of such a big deal.

If people knew this, there would be no place to put Davidson's face, and it would be a bit embarrassing.

At Davidson's current age, he naturally had a good face, and it was impossible for him to be discussed in such a large audience.

But Davidson still wants to figure out what the content of the deal is.

"Rudy, we haven't seen each other for a while, and you guys have made a lot of money with this deal!" Davidson calmed down, with a smile on his face, and said to Tang Shuai.

Tang Shuai was immediately overjoyed, because Davidson was right, if this deal broke out, most people in the industry would definitely think that the Rockets were the winners.

But in front of Davidson, Tang Shuai still smiled and waved his hands, "How can we know whether to make a profit or a loss in such a thing as trading?"

"You must know that our trade to Muresan is also quite risky. After all, he was injured in the finals before. Whether he can return to the top in the new season is still a matter of discussion."

Davidson's heart tightened, and he couldn't help being angry for no reason. Petrie really sold Muresan.

The key is to sell to the Rockets. Davidson really can't figure out what chips the Rockets can come up with.

"Rudy, George's injury isn't serious, but it's actually much more valuable than the bargaining chips you guys gave." Davidson continued his routine.

"That's not necessarily the case. Sam, Robert, and Clyde, you are not at a loss at all." The smile on Tang Shuai's face betrayed him, obviously he thought that the king must have lost money this time.

Davidson frowned. The three people Tang Shuai mentioned, Davidson immediately guessed the main content of this transaction.

The King took out Muresan, and the Rockets took out Drexler, Robert Horry and Sam Cassell to reach a deal.

Looking at this trading plan, it is very likely that the Kings will have to post a draft pick.

After all, judging from Tang Shuai's expression, he is obviously quite satisfied with the deal. If it was just three for one, he probably wouldn't be smiling so happily.

Davidson could barely control his anger. At first glance, the deal seemed to be completely worthless and profitable.

After all, there is a Drexler in the transaction. You must know that this is a big-handed player that the Rockets bought after dismantling half of the team.

But it was Drexler that made Davidson angry.

During the offseason of last season, Drexler signed a two-year $1100 million contract with the Rockets, which happened to expire at the end of next season.

After the later period, everyone knew that Drexler would definitely retire...

Now Drexler is 35 years old, and in terms of value, he is even far inferior to Barkley.

With the help of this deal, the Kings can indeed free up more than 500 million salary space after the end of next season, but it is also equivalent to sending Muresan out for nothing without getting anything.

The two players sent by the Rockets, Horry and Cassel, are actually not bad, but Davidson must not look down on them...

If fans of later generations look at this deal, they will definitely be able to see that the Kings have made a lot of money, especially the alien Cassel, who is a very valuable player.

But right now Davidson doesn't know all the future, so it is naturally impossible to know Kassel's future achievements.

So Davidson was very annoyed. Perhaps in Petrie's view, the essence of this deal was incomparable.

At the end of next season, more than 500 million salary space can be cleared, and the immediate combat power of Drexler and Horry, as well as the potential young players like Cassel...

No matter how you look at it, it is a very good deal, but Davidson cannot accept this deal because it is not in line with his philosophy.

What's more, this time Petrie kept himself completely in the dark, which made Davidson even more upset.

……

"It seems that the next season will be my last season coaching the Kings." Davidson thought to himself.

Running into a general manager like Petrie, Davidson has completely lost interest in continuing to coach the Kings.

……

After smiling wryly at Tang Shuai, Davidson sat down and waited for the start of tonight's draft.

Coincidentally, next to the seat assigned to the Kings tonight is the Vancouver Grizzlies, also a western team.

The Grizzlies boss John McCaw personally played the game this time. Obviously, he attaches great importance to the Grizzlies' draft.

In such a short period of time since the Grizzlies joined the league in 95, they have actually changed owners.

John McCaw is the Grizzlies' second owner...

In March 95, when the Grizzlies hadn't played a game, former owner Griffith transferred the main ownership of the team to John McCaw.

When Davidson left the Nets and the Grizzlies contacted Davidson, it was John McCaw who was in charge of the Grizzlies.

Seeing Davidson next to him, McCaw sighed...

If the Grizzlies had invited Davidson, maybe it would be a different situation now, right?
Perhaps the last two years to reach the finals is not Saramento, but their Grizzlies.

Perhaps the team on the championship podium this year is their Vancouver Grizzlies!

Muresan, Bus, and Nash are all players single-handedly selected by Davidson. With three of them joining the Grizzlies, even if the Grizzlies scoop up ten supporting players from the summer league, the record will definitely not be much worse, and it is quite possible to even reach the conference finals.

Thinking of this, McCaw pinched his thigh in heartache...
