Chapter 249: The Deal Behind Davidson's Back

This season just ended, Nelson Sr. did not continue to be the head coach of a certain team, but joined the Dallas Mavericks as the general manager of the Mavericks.

He came to the draft on behalf of the Mavericks tonight.

"Mr. Nelson, I haven't seen you in some days." Davidson gave Nelson a warm hug.

Not far away, Rocket head coach Tang Shuai walked over.

"Thank you, Wilson, and have a great deal." Tang Shuai smiled and said to Davidson.

Davidson was confused, Tang Shuai took the wrong medicine, why did he thank himself

Trade!

For a moment, Davidson had a sense of foreboding.

It couldn't be that Petrie made a deal with the Rockets without telling himself

It seems that Petrie can really do this kind of thing.

The general manager of the team itself has the right to be solely responsible for the transaction, and now it is quite possible to finalize the transaction directly in just over a day without telling Davidson.

Davidson was very angry in his heart, but it was not good to ask Tang Shuai carefully at the moment.

If you ask, wouldn't you tell everyone here that you don't know about this transaction at all!

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

If this is known, Davidson's face will have no place to rest, which is really a bit embarrassing.

At his current age, Davidson is naturally a good face, and it is impossible to be talked about in such a public.

Still, Davidson was keen to figure out what the deal was about.

"Rudy, we haven't seen each other in a few days, and you've made a lot of money on this deal!" Davidson gathered his thoughts, squeezed out a smile on his face, and said to Tang Shuai.

Tang Shuai was also happy immediately, because Davidson was right, if this deal broke out, most insiders would definitely think that the Rockets were the winners.

But in front of Davidson, Tang Shuai still smiled and waved his hand, "How can you know whether you make or lose money now when you trade this kind of thing." ”

"You must know that it is quite risky for us to trade to Muressan, after all, he was injured in the finals before, and whether he can return to the top in the new season is still a matter of two words."

Davidson's heart tightened, and he couldn't help but have a nameless fire, Petrie really sold Muressan.

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

"Rudy, George's injury is not serious, but it is actually worth much more than the chips you give." Davidson continued.

"It's not necessarily, Sam, Robert, and Clyde, you don't lose at all." The smile on Tang Shuai's face betrayed him, obviously he felt that the king must have lost this wave.

Davidson frowned, and the three people in Tang Shuai's mouth, Davidson immediately guessed the main content of this transaction.

The Kings pulled out Muressan, and the Rockets pulled out Drexler, Robert Horry and Sam Kassel to make a deal.

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

After all, looking at Tang Shuai's expression, it was obvious that he was quite satisfied with this deal, if it was just three for one, he probably wouldn't be so happy to laugh.

Davidson almost couldn't control his anger, and at first glance, the deal looked like it was not a loss at all, and it was still profitable.

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

But Davidson is angry about Drexler.

Last offseason, Drexler signed a two-year, $11 million contract with the Rockets, which expires at the end of next season.

And after the later stages, everyone knew that Drexler would definitely retire......

At the moment, Drexler is 35 years old, and in terms of value, he is not even as good as Barkley.

With this deal, the Kings can indeed free up more than 5 million salary space after the end of next season, but it is equivalent to sending Muresan out for nothing and getting nothing.

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

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

But at the moment, Davidson does not know everything about the future, and it is naturally impossible to know the future achievements of Kassel.

So Davidson was very annoyed, and probably in Petry's opinion, the essence of this deal is incomparable.

Not only can he clear more than 5 million salary space at the end of next season, but he can also get instant power like Drexler and Horry, as well as potential young players like Kassel......

It was a good deal no matter how you look at it, but Davidson couldn't accept it because it didn't fit his philosophy.

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

……

"It looks like this season will be my last season as the Kings." Davidson thought to himself.

With Petrie as a general manager, Davidson has completely lost interest in continuing to coach the Kings.

……

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

Coincidentally, tonight's seat assigned to the Kings was next to the Vancouver Grizzlies, who are also Western Conference teams.

This time the Grizzlies are owner John McCaw himself, and apparently he takes the Grizzlies' draft quite seriously.

The Grizzlies have only joined the league in 95 years and have changed owners in such a short time.

John McCaw is the Grizzlies' second owner......

In March '95, the Grizzlies didn't play a game when the former owner Griffiths transferred primary ownership of the team to John McCaw.

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

Seeing Davidson beside him, McCaw sighed......

If the Grizzlies had brought in Davidson, it might have been a different story now

Maybe it's not Saramento who have reached the finals in the last two years, but their Grizzlies.

Maybe the team that will finish on the championship podium this year is their Vancouver Grizzlies!

Muresan, Daba, and Nash are all single-handedly selected by Davidson, and three of them join the Grizzlies, even if the Grizzlies bring in ten supporting players from the summer league, the record will definitely not be much worse, and even reaching the division finals is quite possible.

Thinking of this, McCaw pinched his thighs in pain......
