Alexander is desperate to get a new star.

Yao Ming is about to reach 30, and he needs to stay competitive to maintain or even increase the team's market value.

Hearing that Anthony did not refuse to renew his contract with the Rockets after his contract expired, Alexander's thirst for money was clearly revealed.

……

Do you want to trade?

After leaving the boss's office, Morey was very hesitant, he was very good at completing the various tasks arranged by the boss, especially saving money.

But he also has basketball goals!

The reason for the hesitation is that the Nuggets really want to trade Anthony! They've had enough.

The Nuggets also saw that with Billups, the most suitable point guard for Anthony, they would also decide at best.

And the owner of the Nuggets is not satisfied with this, he has always been decisive, just like Coach George Karl just won the best coach in the future, but after being eliminated in the first round, he immediately fired George Karl, gave up the track and field team play, and rebuilt directly.

Originally, Anthony was also very decisive in trading in time and space, as long as the Nuggets were satisfied with the chips given by the other party, they would trade when they said they were traded.

But if you don't have enough chips, people ignore them.

Coincidentally, the Rockets had plenty of chips, and their group of run-and-jump forwards caught the attention of Coach George Karl, who wanted to break away from his superstar style of play in track basketball.

However, what Morey wants most is not a small forward.

Of course, if he can get James, he wants a small forward, but he wants Paul more than Anthony.

But the Hornets are actively trying to sell the team, even if Paul already has the heart to leave, but the Hornets are unwilling to trade, otherwise it is really difficult to sell without Paul, and the Hornets are not too bad at present, but Paul has had a lot of injuries in the past two years, and he can't play without the core.

Paul and James are very similar, they are both the type of person who carries the whole team with the ball in his hand, no matter what the style of play his teammates is, in Paul's hands, there are only two ways to play: dunk and catch shot.

Morey's first target is James, who will become a free agent next summer, but ...... If you can get Anthony, who is only 26 years old, who will refuse?

Even if Morey doesn't want a small forward that much, as long as the Nuggets agree, he will give away all the high-quality assets except Yao Ming, as long as the other party wants.

Just kidding, six or seven 10 yuan for a 100 yuan bill, not to change is a fool, only a fool general manager will hold a bunch of role player talent or strength players as a baby and not use it to exchange for superstars, Anthony averaged 28 points per game this season, and the whole league can be compared with him.

And the boss wants the superstar to increase the market value......

From a basketball professional point of view, Morey is several times stronger than Alexander, he saw the Grizzlies directly throw two two first-round plus a first-round swap right, knowing the other party's intentions, the other party wants them to trade, and he also knows that if his team really gets Anthony, it may not necessarily be a good thing for strength.

But Morey saw it but didn't want to tell the boss about it, he knew in his heart that it was not very possible to recruit James; Paul can't trade; Bosh doesn't want to partner with an inside superstar and doesn't want to be robbed of the limelight, and if he wants to change teams, he also wants to become a strong team and be the leader of a strong team in a big city.

Of course, if he is willing to give more money, Bosh may still agree, and Houston is also a big city.

Morey found that in addition to the Mavericks in the Southwest Division, the other three teams had to pick more and more doors.

Originally, the owners of the Hornets were quite rich, and the New Orleans ball market was good, but the hurricane in '05 ruined everything, and the Hornets became one of the worst teams in the NBA ball market, mainly because their owner's industry suffered heavy losses in that hurricane and was ready to abandon the team.

And this team is currently unmanned, cannot be sold, and even their owners are planning to quit the NBA directly, and the NBA league is already preparing to buy this team on its own and find a new owner on its own.

Spurs ...... It's not as famous as a rocket, but it's also a door-picking car.

The Grizzlies are okay, they are about to have a new owner, and they have already started investing, so Chris Wallace can have the opportunity to revamp the team, but there is no money to spend, no star wants to go, and picking up Randolph is purely Randolph no other team dares to ask for it

The only team in the Southwest Division that is willing to spend money is the Mavericks......

Morey is a genuinely good employee...... Work is the most important thing, let's put together a star lineup to satisfy the boss! Then a trade with the Grizzlies is imperative......

……

……

On the morning of December 5, 2009, a small transaction took place.

The Grizzlies and the Houston Rockets made a deal.

The Grizzlies gave away the 2011 first-round unprotected pick, the 2012 first-round pick swap, the 2013 first-round pick with the first three picks to protect the draft, and the 2005 second-round pick 59th pick from Turkish guard Sink Akyo to the Rockets in exchange for veteran Sean Battier, the Rockets' 2010 second-round pick, and Brian Cook with two years left on his second-year non-guaranteed contract.

……

Sun Ce finished exercising in the morning, returned to his room after breakfast to watch TV and rest, and was about to go to the stadium for training for a while, when he suddenly saw this transaction that had just happened.

The Rockets are ready to send Battier away, and the Grizzlies want to get Battier, which has long been revealed.

Sun Ce also knew that the deal could happen, but the team wanted to get it a year earlier than he remembered, and he didn't know if his arrival would have an impact on the deal.

But I didn't expect the team to be so aggressive! Willing to trade a role player in two and a half first-rounders!

On Team Rocket's side, Sun Ce figured it out.

The Rockets traded Battier to completely correct Ariza's position as starting small forward.

Although Battier has a good mentality, after the Rockets got Kevin Martin, he could only play on the bench, although Battier was willing to play on the bench, but Sun Ce then found the details of the transaction on the Internet, after his own team gave Battier a starting commitment, Battier gave up a trade deposit of 1.8 million US dollars, which made the Grizzlies, who have 10.74 million space, accept another condition of the Rockets and eat Brian Cook's contract of 3.3 million US dollars this season.

The Rockets relied on this deal to directly free up 10.37 million US dollars, solved the situation that the front line was too bloated, and also got the right to swap two first-rounds and one first-rounder, which people will definitely agree.

But their own team is too aggressive.

He has the impression that in 2011, in order to get Battier, the Grizzlies sent Tabit and a first-rounder, and got Battier, even if Tarbitt is worth more than a first-round pick in 2011, more chips than the chips given here, and Battier is still a year older, but at that time, it was the Grizzlies who desperately needed to get Battier when Guy's season was reimbursed, so they would suffer such a blood loss.

In comparison, the chips this time were more cost-effective than the chips in Sun Ce's impression.

But the team can talk slowly! The Rockets also have problems on their side, they urgently need to solve the bloated front, and it is imperative to trade Battier, and Sun Ce thought that even if the team traded Battier, it would be impossible for the other party to drag on before and after the All-Star weekend.

I didn't expect my side to be so active in choosing to trade.

However, without paying players, he got Battier just by draft picks, and Sun Ce was of course very happy!

The team is losing or not, this Sun Ce actually doesn't care so much, he just slanders him.

The team has one more pitcher! This is obviously great news for Sun Ce!

……

Sun Ce didn't understand why the team was so aggressive, in fact, the reason was entirely because of him!

After Sun Ce's explosive scoring power, the team's management and coaching staff had several discussions and reached a consensus.

First help Sun Ce improve the substitute lineup, so that Sun Ce can lead the second team as the sixth man with peace of mind.

Sun Ce is not yet 20 years old, and the Grizzlies are willing to develop slowly, and they are creating a good enough environment to cultivate.

Losing two first-round picks and one first-round swap rights, the Grizzlies suffered a loss, but they had to.

The main purpose is to make Sun Ce play better.

Coach Hollins looked at the team's current roster and there were a total of eight reliable players.

The starting five, Conley + Battier + Guy + Randolph + Gasol Jr., started very steadily.

Son Ce, the core of the bench, Anthony Parker, a shooting guard and small forward position, and Jordan Jr., the first substitute on the inside.

Coach Hollins is excited to finally have at least eight core rotations that a normal team should have! After getting Battier, the team really has playoff strength!

There's one more thing Coach Hollins needs to do...... A week ago, I wanted to teach Sun Ce to defend, and now that the trade is over and the team's 15-man roster is complete, this matter can be put on the agenda.

……

The Grizzlies and Rockets trade has little impact on the U.S. side, so it's not a big deal...... There is a lot of hype in China, after all, he is a former Rockets player, and he is one of the players that domestic fans like very much.

But something happened to the Warriors who had nothing to do with the trade.

Sun Ce's shining performance made Jerry West's voice in the Warriors more important!

Warriors owner Lacob reiterated in an interview that Jerry West is their team's No. 1 advisor and that all trades are vetted by Jerry West first.

Lacob was clearly dumping, but Jerry West chose to take the loss because of the salary increase......

The Warriors also wanted to re-recruit Nelson Sr. back to management, but was denied, and Nelson Sr. went back to Mavericks management.

When Sun Ce saw this news, he felt that the logo man was really not an ordinary person, and what boss would not be able to see that this could not be the operation of the logo? This will not affect the work of the logo man.

But fans may not be able to see that Warriors fans will definitely be slamming the team management for the loss of the logo man, and the impact on the market will be weakened because of the loss of the logo man.

"Businessmen can't afford to mess with them!"
