Chapter 172: Buckley's Phone
Hearing his father's suggestion, Petrie nodded, the only thing he wanted now was Barkley, and he didn't bother to think about anything else.
As long as Barkley gets his hands on it, he will definitely be the favorite to be the manager of the year next season.
The key is that with Barkley, even if their Kings can't beat the Bulls this year, they will definitely be able to bloodied the Bulls next year with the help of Barkley.
Barkley is arguably the hard-to-find Rodman nemesis in the league......
Not only Rodman's nemesis, Barkley is the nemesis of the vast majority of the league's No. 4 players.
For example, Malone, he has suffered a lot under Barkley.
Next season, let Barkley stay in the No. 4 position, and the bus will play the swing man position at the forward guard, focusing on offense, such a team can be called inexplicable.
The more Petri thought about it, the more excited he became, and he wanted to contact the Suns management right now and make a decision with them.
I don't know why Daddy and Davidson have to share a first-round lotto, but Petrie will definitely have to carefully consider their requests.
Daddy's prestige and seniority are much higher than Petri's, and Davidson is now seen as the savior of Saramento.
……
After leaving Petri's general manager's office, Davidson had just returned home and received a call on his mobile phone, and because there was no such thing as a "caller ID", Davidson didn't know who was calling.
"Hey, is it Wilson?" A cautious voice came from the other end of the phone, as if he were a thief.
"Huh? You are? Davidson asked, frowning.
There was silence on the other end of the line for a moment, then he whispered, "Wilson, I'm Charles." ”
Davidson was amused, daring that the call was from Barkley.
It seems that Daddy's guess is not wrong at all, the Suns' trade request is really Barkley's idea.
Barkley's voice is so cautious at the moment, it is estimated that he also feels ashamed.
In this day and age, if his approach is spread, it will definitely be despised by other stars in the league.
In particular, Barkley has a lot of enemies in the league, and if it is known, he will definitely be ashamed.
Of course, if it really wants to be spread, fans will definitely not have too strong feelings, after all, at Barkley's age, if he doesn't want to win the championship, then his whole career will really be over.
"Charles, what's going on? Have you been kidnapped? Davidson laughed and asked.
"Wilson, do you know about the deal?" Barkley asked in an embarrassed whisper.
"Got it, Charles, if nothing else, you'll be our Kings player next season, don't worry, you'll definitely win the championship at the Kings." Davidson said with a smile.
Barkley was stunned when he heard this.
If nothing else? What other accidents can happen if you go to the king yourself? Are you kidding.
Shouldn't the king, on his side, take himself to Saramento with tears of joy?
"Accidents? Wilson? Could it be that your king has a better choice than me? To be honest, although your strength is strong now, there is basically no hope of killing the Bulls to win the championship. ”
"And with me, it's different, the king and the bull will be five or five!"
From Barkley's words, you can see how feared this bull is, even if it is a person like Barkley, he doesn't dare to say big things, but he just says that he can talk to the bull.
"Charles, you're mistaken, we don't have a better choice than you."
"But now we want the Suns' 14th pick in addition to you."
"Of course, we're not going to ask for anything in vain, and my guess is that Walter is going to be in the deal, and we'll try to get the deal done." Davidson said with a smile.
Barkley was stunned, the king was going to take out Walter to trade, which was a pie-in-the-sky thing for the Suns.
Walter entered the league in '92 and is now a young player, a young man who was the king's third or even second leader before Muba and his wife came to the Kings.
In terms of trade value, Walter is much better than Grant or Snow.
A rookie with strong potential and immediate combat power, and a 14th draft pick, the Suns can't make much money.
Barkley was a little confused, knowing that he was going to join the Kings.
Walter is an important instant force for the Kings, what if the team can't win the championship without Walter?
Now Barkley is in a dilemma, on the one hand, he wants to get more benefits from his old club Suns, after all, he Barkley is not a ruthless and unrighteous person.
On the other hand, he wants the Kings to save their strength after the trade, and if the strength is greatly damaged, what is the point of joining himself......
Just as Barkley had a headache, Davidson spoke.
"Charles, it's clear that the Suns are going to rebuild right now, and if Walter only traded for a 14th pick, then we definitely wouldn't want to."
"A young player who averages 15 points per game and has good offensive and defensive efficiency, let alone a 14th pick, I believe there is no problem in changing a top 10 pick."
"The Suns can add a veteran, after all, they are going to be rebuilt, and it doesn't make sense to have so many veterans on the team, and the hot stick Williams and AC Green can add any one of them."
Hot Stick and Iron Man, both of which are veterans brought by the Suns to compete for the championship, these veterans can't play for long in a game, and the efficiency is not good for more than 20 minutes, but the efficiency per unit of time is still okay.
didn't think about it, the Suns didn't want to compete for the championship, they were eliminated in the first round of the playoffs, and now the team wants to rebuild, and it is naturally useless to keep these veterans.
Even if the Kings don't want to, they'll find a way to shoot it.
Now that the Kings' bench lineup is relatively weak, Davidson naturally wants to recruit more veterans with immediate combat power to enrich the team's bench lineup.
Barkley didn't think much of it and immediately agreed that he would talk to Suns management about it and try to get this big deal happening.
Speaking of which, the Suns didn't actually lose money in this deal.
Eric Snow, a rookie point guard, was selected to the rookie second team this season and has a good strength.
Needless to say, if it weren't for the big bus being too dazzling, he would still be the starting No. 4 for the Kings.
Walter's words, needless to say, the previous king's No. 2 offensive point, second only to Richmond's attacker, the defense is also good.
That said, the Kings took three young starters, plus a first-round pick, in exchange for Ross Barkley, the 14th pick, or one of the Iron Men.
If Barkley, Hot Rod, or Ironman are all in their prime, then it's clear that the Suns won't have any pants left in this deal.
But now that all three are at the end of their careers, the Suns, who want to rebuild, can get three potential stocks, which is obviously not a loss.
