"Sure enough, the call came! That's fast! ”

Hammond scratched his head.

He knew that Yi Jianlian would call, but he didn't expect Yi Jianlian's call to come so quickly.

Before trading Mo Williams, he had been mentally prepared, if Yi Jianlian called him tomorrow, it means that the problem is not big, he doesn't care much about this matter, if he calls him in the middle of the night today, it means that Yi Jianlian is a little unhappy, but if it is less than 11 o'clock to call, it means that the problem is a little serious!

"Hey, easy!"

"John, I think you know why I called you!"

"Of course, trading Mo is the result of our research, Kyle Lowry of the Rockets is also a good fit for our system, he can also play a role next to you, and we will still be strong contenders for the championship!"

"John, the question I want to ask isn't this, you know, I just want to know why trade Mo?"

Yi Jianlian's tone was very cold, and Hammond could imagine what Yi Jianlian's face on the other end of the phone was.

"Mo is averaging 18.7 points per game this season, didn't you see his performance tonight? 23 points and 7 assists, such a performance is exchanged for a guy who averages less than 10 points per game? ”

"Ok, easy, you have to understand that trading is part of the NBA, and this league is happening anytime and anywhere! Isn't it? ”

"Yes, you're finally down to business, that's what I'm asking you, we don't need any trades, why are you giving Mo a deal?"

“…… Easy, this is a signed and stamped, league-approved deal, I hope you can stay calm, I can swear, our goal is still the championship, this will never change! ”

"Since you don't want to say it, then don't say it!"

Yi Jianlian heard the end, Hammond still didn't say the reason, and he didn't want to go around the bend with Hammond like this anymore, and said directly: "So is there a deal next?" ”

"Yi, this, I can't guarantee it, I can only say that I want the Bucks to be better, always!"

“…… Toot toot! ”

Yi Jianlian didn't speak again, and hung up the phone after silence, Hammond sighed deeply, put the phone back on the landline in the corner of the desk, and rubbed his eyes vigorously a few times, and the whole eye socket became red because of his rubbing.

It was just that after a phone call, he looked much older in an instant, and picked up the phone again, and Hammond dialed a certain number, and after waiting for a while, it was connected.

"Boss, according to your orders, Mo Williams has been traded!"

"What is Yi's reaction?"

"I'm angry!"

“…… Then hurry up and make the next trade! ”

"But the boss ......"

"I don't want to hear any more nonsense from you, I'm the one who pays your salary, you should do what I say, and don't forget, you said it in the first place, Yi's influence is greater than all the players of the Bucks, in this case, we just need to keep this cash cow!"

"However, Yi's goal is to win the championship!"

"That's your thing, I'm not letting you mess around, I'm just hoping to get rid of some players with too big contracts!"

“……！”

"Okay, I'll hang up first if there's nothing to do, you hurry up and handle the transaction, I don't want to end up paying too much money!"

"Whew!"

Hammond hung up the phone, and he looked much older.

What should I do next?

Hammond rubbed his temples, completely unsure of what to do next.

***

"I'm sorry, brother, I can't do anything about this!"

Yi Jianlian returned to the locker room, Mo Williams was already packing his things, and when he saw him coming, he put down the things in his hand first: "It's okay, Yi, this is the NBA, we can't control our own destiny, but it's so wonderful to cooperate with you in the past few years, you have to be merciful next time we meet!" ”

"Oh, so do you!"

Yi Jianlian high-fived him, and before leaving, he glanced at Mo Williams again, and since then, the Bucks will never see the classic outside cross run again!

"It was revealed that the Bucks reached a deal with the Rockets, and Yi Jianlian's best helper went to Houston!"

"Space City ushered in an all-star, and the second champion team became the new king of the Rockets!"

"Burst trade, Mo Williams for Kyle Lowry!"

The deal was also quickly reported, with the Rockets offering Kyle Lowry plus "Divine Bird" Landry.

"Morey, the old fox, can actually poach the second leader from the championship team!"

"Why don't you dig Yi into the Sky City together!"

"Now the Rockets are back in the playoffs, Scola plus Mo Williams, it feels good!"

Mo Williams is not the "Mo Bu Chuan" of the previous life in this life, Yi Jianlian and his various cooperation will stimulate his abilities in all aspects, coupled with his all-star status, for the space city, it can be regarded as a relatively good transition core, the most important thing is that Mo Williams's contract has entered the third year, this season is over, the next season is the contract year, even if he does not play well, when the contract year comes, the value of the transaction will be greatly increased, After all, for some teams that want to free up salary space, a multi-million-dollar contract is a good target.

In short, most experts and fans believe that the Rockets are not losing, but the Bucks want a Kyle Lowry who has not proven themselves, and a Landry who has a similar style to Tygibson, what does this deal want to do?

Could it be that you find it too unchallenging to win the championship and find it difficult for yourself?

"Why trade Mo? Oh, what's the use of you asking me this question? You should ask John, he's the general manager of the Bucks, and he did the player trade, and I think he should be able to tell you how this deal is going to help the Bucks! ”

After Williams was traded, the Bucks went to Charlotte to challenge the Hornets on the road, and in the pre-game interview, Yi Jianlian was asked this question, and his tone was rare with displeasure, he needs to do something like this, let the media and fans know that he is unhappy with the deal, and he is also unhappy with Hammond, and only then will Hammond value his opinion.

Instead of trading Mo Williams without saying a word, as is the case now!

It's weird too!

Hammond discussed with me when he signed Matt Barnes in the summer, but he didn't say a word to me about such a big thing as trading Mo Williams!

Yi Jianlian was a little puzzled, and felt that the whole thing was a little weird, but he couldn't think of other possibilities, so he could only attribute this matter to Hammond knowing that he would stop it, so he chose not to tell it!
