Chapter 172: Renewal Offer

"Doodoo ......"

The Nuggets management listened to the busy sound of the hung up phone in a daze, and couldn't help but curse after half a ring.

"Holy, neurosis, right? This Chinese guy. ”

Antoni Gabillus's chips could be rejected so simply? And he also uttered wild words to get out of here, as if this was such an incomprehensible deal!

A top superstar in the league can't compare to a sophomore rookie sitting on the bench?

However, in fact, it really can't be compared.

Anthony, who is now 28 years old, has only been in his peak for three or four years, and he averaged only 28.7 points per game in his peak years in the following years.

James. What about Harden?

Since 15 years, Harden has not averaged less than 29 points per game, and even in the 18-19 season, he slashed a super stat of 36.1 points and 7.5 assists per game.

Is Anthony comparable?

Of course, Wang Xiao also knew that this kind of thing was unknown to others except him, a traverser.

He also knew that the Nuggets didn't want to send Anthony away, but Anthony insisted on leaving, and by the time he got to it, he was almost out of the Knicks.

So even if he does trade for Anthony, it is estimated that the guy will be impatient to run to the Big Apple after his contract expires in the offseason.

This is also another reason why Wang Xiao asked the other party to hurry up.

However, the Nuggets incident also reminded Wang Xiao that this year's trading market seems to be quite lively.

Not only did Anthony switch to the Knicks, but another player also changed owners.

Delong. Williams.

As a point guard at the same time as Paul, Deron has performed quite well in recent seasons and has averaged 20+10 data per game this season, which is definitely one of the top point guards in the league.

And this season, Delon will also be with his mentor Jerry. Sloane broke off and tried to get rid of Sloane, only to be decisively traded by the team.

The reason why Wang Xiao is interested in Delong is not because he wants to get Delong.

Compared with Curry's potential as a point guard, even in his prime, Delon is still slightly less interesting.

The reason why he is interested is because Delon was traded to the New Jersey Nets in another time and space.

However, because of the appearance of Wang Xiao, the butterfly wings continued to instigate, and the Wizards, who were originally at the bottom of last season's record and were lucky to draw the top pick, became the second in the East, and the Nets became the champion pick winner instead.

And also because of Wang Xiao's cascading effect, Jeremy Lin, who was not selected in the draft at all, became the top pick, and was successfully won by the Nets with the top pick.

The current Nets, with Jeremy Lin on the point guard, will naturally not be interested in Delong, in this case, which team DeLong will be traded to, Wang Xiao is very curious.

……

Wang Xiao's curiosity didn't last long, because the day came soon.

Before the All-Star weekend, the Wizards had six games against the Magic, Hawks, Bucks, Spurs, Cavaliers and Mavericks, and the team won 5-1 in those six games, losing the only game to the Spurs.

After six games, it was the All-Star Weekend.

As expected, Curry was still in second place in the last two rounds of voting, and finally managed to beat Rose and Wade, two popular guards, and was selected as an All-Star starter along with Jeremy Lin in first place.

The five All-Star starters in the East are Jeremy Lin, Curry, James, St's Meyer and Howard.

The five starters in the West are Paul, Kobe, Durant, Anthony and Duncan.

In addition to Curry, Harden was also selected for the All-Star Game, but as a substitute.

At the same time, Curry and Harden will also participate in the Rookie Challenge as second-year rookies against George as first-year rookies.

Wang Xiao did not go to Los Angeles to participate in the All-Star Games, but had a good rest at home for a few days.

The manager's job is no easier than the player's, and the pressure is not at all.

Finally had a not very long vacation, he naturally had to relax for a few days, and after the All-Star Weekend, it will be the most brutal playoff sprint time, except for the bottom few teams in the league, all teams will fight for a playoff spot, the game will be a lot harder, he must be well prepared.

At the same time, he also began to draw up a contract extension.

When the All-Star weekend ended, and Kobe Bryant, who was playing at home, scored 37 points and 14 rebounds to win the fourth All-Star MVP trophy, Wang Xiao also called Butler to his office.

"Coach, did you call me?"

Butler knocked on the door and entered, with a slight trepidation on his face and a hint of anticipation.

Wang Xiao rarely calls players into the office alone, especially a veteran like Butler.

Now that he's suddenly called in before the trade deadline, what can you talk about other than a contract extension or the news of being traded?

Butler has been with the Wizards for six years, and he has a certain affection for this team, especially now that the team's record is thriving, and even has a chance to challenge for a championship, everything makes him feel very satisfied.

He is reluctant to leave the team if he can.

But as a veteran in his thirties, Butler also knows very well that the NBA is actually a business field, where there is no loyalty, and any veteran who has played for the team for more than ten years may be abandoned without hesitation, and he is no exception.

Nowadays, rookie player George's performance is getting better and better, which means that his role in Butler is getting smaller and smaller.

In this case, it is normal to be traded, and he will not resent anyone because of this, but in his heart, there is still a little expectation, maybe Wang Xiao is willing to keep him?

Butler was lucky, he guessed correctly, Wang Xiao called him to come and talk to him about a contract extension.

In Wang Xiao's office, "Caron, at the end of this season, your contract is about to expire." Wang Xiao looked at Butler, "I have already talked to the general manager, I hope you can renew your contract with the team, we need you." ”

As soon as Wang Xiao's words came out, Butler's heart suddenly calmed down.

Really! It's a renewal, not a deal!

Butler was really scared, afraid that the team would trade him away and trade him to another team that he didn't know anything about.

That kind of cold, business-like situation was hard for him to accept.

"Coach, I'd love to stay in the team and continue to play for this team."

Butler said with some excitement.

Looking at Butler, Wang Xiao laughed.

"That's great, you can inform your agent to talk directly to the general manager about the specifics of the renewal."
