Oku's imminent departure puts a lot of pressure on Houston's recruitment efforts. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 Although he has not officially accepted the Jazz's offer contract at this time, Yuanfei is already clear that he will not see him on the team next season.

'Mr. Tomjanovic called me early in the morning and insisted that we bring in a centre-forward. Dawson truthfully reported to Yuanfei, and now the relationship between the two superiors and subordinates is completely reversed, "I never thought that there would be so many difficulties in the summer after winning the championship, our players have become the sweets of the market, and many teams have sent trade applications." There are even players on the team who have submitted applications to be traded. I'm already busy. ”

"Don't worry, old man, you have to do the work one by one. First, which player wants to be traded? Tony? "Far Fly.

"Tony, and Joe." Dawson said as he secretly observed Yuanfei's face, and was secretly relieved to find that he was not angry.

"It seems that choosing Spann has had a big impact on Tony's mood. Toney was very unhappy with the lack of playing time, especially in the finals, where he barely got playing time considering the height of his opponent Bodiloga. Even when Chauncey was at the break, it was mostly Tracy who was organizing the offense. Not to mention Joe, who is behind Tracy and Michael, has too few appearances. Yuanfei's face remained unchanged, and he seriously considered: "These two players are very young, very good, and have the potential to become the leader of the team. It's normal to have dissatisfaction, and we can consider trading. By the way, sir, why are you staring at me so strangely? ”

"We just won the championship and some players wanted to change teams, and I thought you would be angry and angry at them for not being motivated." Dawson replied honestly.

"Haha, I understand the players. Young players want to be the pillars of the team, and they want to move from a strong team that is difficult to get ahead to a weak team, which is precisely the embodiment of self-motivation. I won't stop them, on the contrary, I'm willing to match them if I have the chance. If they continue to play with the Rockets, they may be bench for the rest of their lives, which is also a waste of talent. ”

"The little boss is really a lot of adults." Dawson's sycophant was also heartfelt.

"But then we have more work, sir, please first let us propose some trade proposals for the teams they are interested in, and I will consider it as appropriate. Of course, the more pressing thing is that the number 5 slot must be filled. Battle is too slow, Vallejo is too tender, and we need a player to act as a backup for Yao. ”

"Is there anyone who has the boss to choose from?" Dawson asked, he was completely accustomed to groping for the idea of flying far first.

"Free agent inside, Hawks' Joel. Purzbilla, Nuggets' Chris. Anderson, Warriors' Eric. Dampier, Spurs' Robert. Hawley, you can think about it. Some, such as Dampier may be far beyond the price we can offer, please contact the broker to see the offer. I also want an experienced and older substitute to replace Hakim in the locker room of the team, Deacon Bey. Mutombo is worth considering. Please go and ask Bull for a quote. ”

"I'll do it right away, I'll soak in the office today and can't call!" Dawson expressed his determination.

Two days later.

"Little boss, I have already talked about the work you arranged, and now I will report to you on the progress." Dawson said respectfully that his respect for Yuanfei is not only due to the employment relationship, but also from the bottom of his heart, "Dampier's psychological price is far more than the highest offer we can make." Hawley seems to have reached a preliminary agreement with the Spurs to renew his contract. ”

"The Spurs previously executed the team option to deny Hawley the remaining year of about 6 million in his contract, and now they are going to renew his contract with Hawley, it seems that an agreement must be reached to reduce his salary." Yuanfei shook his head and sighed: "I really admire Popovich, he can always persuade players to be willing to take a salary cut to assist the team." Our road is also blocked. ”

"But the last two candidates seem to have a play, Chris. Anderson and Joel. Purzbila is interested in signing as a free agent. ”

"Wait, I've decided to give up on Anderson after careful consideration these days." Yuan Fei suddenly interrupted: "Some reports indicate that he may have personality problems. Purzbilla, for part, can continue to talk. The decision was made because he suddenly recalled a trivial incident from his past life, when Anderson "Birdman" Anderson was banned from the league for two years for taking illegal drugs on January 27, 2006.

"Another job: Mutombo's remaining 1-year contract is about $4.5 million. Johnson, wages can't be matched. The Bulls want us to use Joe to catch Anderson. Vallejo came for a change. ”

"What? What else did they give us? First-round picks? ”

"No, nothing. I think it was the last time Yao exchanged Williams, they suffered a big loss, and they didn't dare to make a deal with us at all. Dawson explained: "We're not a championship team now. Other teams are very cautious about making trades with us, and they are especially afraid to help us strengthen and dominate the league again, and such 'assists' will become the target of the league. ”

'Two young players for a 38-year-old, they're crazy. This deal is too far from my expectations, so let's veto it. "When you fly far, you will break it.

"Finally, a lot of teams have a lot of interest in Joe and Toney, especially the Hawks at the moment." Dawson continued.

"It's understandable that the Eagles are now in a period of rebuilding from the chaos. Last season, they had as many as 23 players on the field, traded many times before and after, changed a lot of people, and had a terrible record. Next, they are afraid that they will have to dispose of all kinds of big contracts in the team, completely tear down and rebuild. We're going to be able to get their first-round picks as well as the Hawks, Jazz, Hornets and Bobcats, and the first-round picks for next year are our top targets. Yuanfei made a clear goal for Dawson.

"However, the rebuilding team is hungry for a first-round pick, and it's hard for them to come up with something like that."

"I know the difficulty. The Eagles' determination to rebuild is there, as can be seen from the work of the previous months. They sent No. 1 player Raheem and star Ratleaf to the Trail Blazers for a trade for Roaring Celestial, and then sent Tempest to the Pistons in exchange for a couple of garbage players and two draft picks. One of them cashed in at the draft for Josh. Smith, I like this young player. These operations prove that they are rebuilding with iron heart, and they will definitely rot in the coming year. Their first-round picks are worth a lot, and we're going to have to be sincere to make a deal. Yuan Fei thought about it for a moment and said: "In order to make the trade successful, we can send the Suns' first-round pick next year, our own first-round pick and our own second-round pick away." ”

(Rule explained: League rules don't allow teams to send first-round picks for the next two years in a row.) The Rockets sent their '03 first-round pick and used the '04 first-round pick to get Vallejo, and can continue to send the '05 first-round pick for trade, but can't send the '06 first-round pick)

"That should be fine!" Dawson was confident.

Just half an hour later, Dawson's call came.

"Boss, the Eagles are relieved, and the specific details are still being discussed."

Yuanfei put down the phone and shouted excitedly: "Yay! ”

This summer's hard team building work began at this moment!
