Chapter 197 Indecision
Michael Jordan, who was the operations manager of the Washington Wizards at the time, was also a minority shareholder of the Wizards. Later, he sold his shares in order to save the Wizards' record and played in the NBA for another two years.

Boss Qiao has been brilliant and powerful all his life, and the only person who has been slightly criticized may be that in 01, Kwame Brown, a high school student who was the champion of parallel imports, was chosen.

Entering the NBA too early and being limited by too little playing time, No. 14 rookie Kwame Brown averaged only 4 minutes of playing time per game this season, averaging 3 points and [-] rebounds per game.

Verus did not receive Gangzhu Qiao at his headquarters base. He did not want to be mistreated by paparazzi and tabloid reporters, so he chose the cafe in Silicon Valley with tight security and inaccessible people. There have been countless large-scale mergers and acquisitions and transactions that have shocked the world.

Most of the nba basketball fans born in the 70s and 80s in China were first fans of the Bull Dynasty, Joe, and then became fans of the NBA. The second finals blocked the Utah Jazz, the postman Marlon Stockton and Xuanming, and made all the fans in China I can't extricate myself from watching it.

Verus had been waiting at the underground passage of the cafe early on. This is the only way to enter the cafe from the parking lot. He didn't dare to ask someone to sit comfortably in it, cross his legs and drink coffee. He would say that he has an idol in the NBA. It can only be the leader of Joe.

6-time championship fmvp, 5 regular-season mvp, 14-time all-star and 10-time best team, Bulls No. 23 will always occupy the supremacy of nba, at least until Verus crosses, no one can shake him in the entire basketball world dominance.

Verus saw a tall and handsome figure approaching from a distance. Jordan, who was dressed in a neat suit and formal attire, was always so personable and self-contained.

Before Verus could speak, Jordan stretched out his hand and said, "Hi, Verus, I'm glad to see you again. We had a good chat in the last draft."

Verus quickly stretched out his hands and said, "Hi, Boss Joe, nice to meet you, and sorry to trouble you so far."

Jordan smiled and said, "I understand, the place you chose is very good, and I also hate those paparazzi."

Verus and Jordan sat down in the most secluded private room of the cafe, enjoying two cups of fragrant freshly ground coffee, and the scenery of the bamboo forest and lake outside the window was beautiful.

Verus picked up the coffee cup, put it down again, and said, "I'm a loyal fan of your fans, but in terms of business, as the general manager of the Warriors, I'm here to discuss a deal with you this time."

Jordan was very kind in private, without any airs, and said: "I know, do you want to trade with the Wizards? If you can transfer McGrady to me, I believe you are my fan."

Verlus was speechless for a moment, and after a while, he considered it and said, "I'm afraid McGrady can't do it. This is Pippen for the Warriors in the next ten years, but there is another player that you will definitely be interested in."

Jordan was just joking, no one with eyes and brains would let the McGrady out, unless he was replaced by a player of the peak Jordan O'Neal level, otherwise he would be killed by angry fans.

Jordan knocked on the table for a while, then said, "You also know that our Wizards are short of big men, and there is only Laettner on the inside. He will be 32 years old next year."

Verus didn't go around in circles, saying: "Mark Jackson, only 25 years old, a first-year rookie, averaged 15+8 per game, weighed 270 pounds, even if he went to carry Shaquille O'Neal, he would be unambiguous."

Verus' words are a bit watery, and everything else is correct. It is a bit bragging to deal with the peak shark alone.

But the entire league knows that O'Neal is invincible, and Jordan is very interested. He said: "Oh, I am very interested in this. I have seen Mark Jackson's game clips. It is really good. A strong low-post attacker. He's also good at rebounding."

Verus didn't hide anything, and said directly: "As long as Jackson is given 25 minutes of playing time, he can bring back more than ten points and 7 or 8 rebounds. This is a stable performance of a big center. I know you are right The high school student in the 01 draft is very interested, but the player who has not proven himself in the NBA may not be worth such a big bet."

Jordan's eyes lit up. He didn't expect Verus's underground intelligence work to be so good. The Wizards paid attention to Kwame Brown. Outsiders can at most have some news tidbits, but they won't be as sure as Verus said.

Jordan was also very straightforward, and asked, "Then what player do you want from the Wizards? Hamilton is not for sale. You can pick any other player."

Verus thinks you are generous, but the Wizards at the bottom of the Eastern Conference, Juwan Howard, who can do it, has been sent to the Dallas Mavericks, and the All-Star player Mitch Richmond is almost 36 years old. Two-year ball.

The rest of the crooked melons and jujubes, Verus, really don’t want to give them away for nothing. If they come, they have to occupy a playing position. The Warriors themselves have a surplus of players, so there are holes for others. Even if the CIC king Hamilton comes, the Warriors will be difficult to arrange.

Knowing that God Joe will come back next season, Verus said: "If the great Jordan comes to the NBA next year, he needs a big man inside, just like Luke Longley of the Bull Dynasty, who is strong and strong to protect the basket. It’s even better if you can score.”

Jordan heard Verus' tone. He was obviously not interested in Wizards players. He said, "Don't you want my Wizards shares? That's no problem. I'm very satisfied with you, but there are not many shares. You take It's useless to go."

Verus wanted to complain about who should be a minority shareholder of the Wizards, and said, "No, I don't want your Wizards shares, nor your Wizards players, I just want your lottery pick this year."

Jordan fell into deep thought. He didn't expect Verus to be willing to use a starting-level center in exchange for a pick from the Wizards. Although draft picks are very important, generally no one is willing to use their starter to exchange for a draft that has not yet been determined. right.

If it is a confirmed pick and a draft player who is destined to become an nba superstar, it is worth any price in exchange for it, but no one will give up such an opportunity.

Jordan looked into Verus' eyes and asked, "You want Kwame Brown?"

Verus was open-minded, naturally not afraid to look at each other, and said with a smile: "I don't choose Kwame, and I suggest you don't choose either. The pressure on high school students to become the No. Overwhelmed."

Jordan heard the words and asked, "Are you sure the Wizards will get the No. [-] pick this year?"

Verus spread his hands and said with a smile: "I am not a god, that can determine the lottery, but I have my own plan, I just need your lottery."

Jordan fell into longer thinking. The Wizards have been investigating Kwame Brown for a long time. Is it worth giving up the pick for a Mark Jackson? Brown is the next O'Neal, wouldn't that be a big loss.
