When Reinsdorf got the news from Gary Foreman, he was stunned.

He fell into a panic like never before: Why? Why did Snoopy leave? Are we not doing it well enough? Haven't we already publicly canceled the deal? Isn't it enough that we even offended all the people in the Golden State management with this?

The Bulls owner is also a well-informed figure, and he has also experienced the heavy blow of the retirement of the basketball god.

But this time, it's completely different. Snoopy even asked for a direct deal with him, and there was no room for negotiation.

He really couldn't figure out where he wasn't good enough.

Gary Foreman shook his head.

In fact, he also thought about it for a long time to figure out why the Duke made this decision: "We underestimated the relationship between him and Derrick Rose. ”

"And, most importantly. We've always been thinking about the whole deal with the American mind, and we think it's all for his good. But actually, he didn't need this. Between maximizing profit and emotional morality, he chose the latter. ”

"He is typical Chinese."

Gary Foreman said seriously.

This conclusion made Reinsdorf's eyes widen, he still felt incredible, and he was still thinking in his heart: Derrick is your brother, isn't Stephen Curry who was traded?

"Is there really no way to keep it?" Reinsdorf continued.

Gary Foreman thought for a moment, then took out a piece of paper from his bag and respectfully placed it on the table: "This is my resignation report. Unfortunately, I couldn't make the decision to trade Snoopy myself, and I didn't want to add such a visible stain to my resume. ”

"I think what you should be doing now is to get Derrick Rose and Mr. Tom Thibodeau together and ask them which direction the Bulls should go next, and then use Snoopy, the most valuable player in NBA history, to make the decision that is best for you."

"Trust me. As long as Coach Thibodeau has a good tactical system, he can get any star he wants, including LeBron James and Kevin Durant. ”

Gary Foreman, as the general manager of the Bulls, fulfilled his duties and gave his final piece of advice: "If you take this opportunity, the Bulls are still the strongest team to win the championship." ”

With that, he left Reinsdorf's office.

He didn't want to bear the infamy of the ages, and Donnie Walsh was not far away, and it was impossible for any general manager who traded Snoopy to be appreciated, even if Snoopy offered it this time.

Tom Thibodeau soon arrives at the boss's office, and when he learns that Snoopy has asked for a deal, he is completely blindsided. Without the slightest pretense at all, his sixty-year-old bachelor sat directly in his chair, speechless for a long time.

His relationship with Snoopy is complicated.

At the beginning, after being an assistant coach for more than 20 years, he couldn't wait to take power alone, so he did a lot of explicit or implicit exclusion actions to the duke. But in the end, he was bound to be the loser.

Just as he was about to leave with regret, Snoopy extended a hand of friendship to him again. Since then, he has reached the pinnacle of his life, reaching the finals for three consecutive years, the head coach with the highest winning percentage in history, and the best coach for two consecutive years... Various awards and various praises have been soft.

Frankly, he's used to spending time with the Duke, and he's found himself working with Snoopy like a match made in heaven: one good at defense, the other good at attacking. One is good at rigid tactical systems, and the other is good at being resourceful.

He thought that he could fly with the Duke like this all the time.

As a result, when he was about to move towards the dynasty after winning two championships, he suddenly came to such a head-catcher.

"Snoopy... Is Snoopy really leaving? He asked in surprise.

"Yes."

Derrick Rose's cold and restrained voice came from outside the door, and he also received a call from his boss and ran over.

Frankly, he really wants to be the one who leaves.

But now, Snoopy has taken the initiative to quit. He knew better than anyone that it was the Duke who was taking the initiative to fulfill himself. After all, where else in the league is there a stronger team than the Bulls? Going to the Warriors, at most, is to rebuild the core, and staying in Chicago is the core of the championship. In between, it's not the same.

Therefore, for Snoopy's decision, he felt extremely guilty and self-blamed.

Seeing Derrick Rose coming in, Reinsdorf's expression was very unnatural, he was a little unhappy, and more embarrassed.

Deep down, of course, he would prefer to send Rose away. But now that Rose has stayed, the future will definitely depend on him, and he made a big deal before, which is not a person inside and out.

Luckily, Derrick Rose didn't care about that.

They quickly deliberated.

Thibodeau believes that the interior should be strengthened in defense and attack, and he is a very traditional head coach. He didn't want to follow the current style of fast balls. He still thinks that those who have the inside line win the world.

Although the Bulls now have Joakim Noah and Carlos Boozer. But if it can be increased, why not?

"Carlos Boozer is definitely going to be traded." Reinsdorf said conclusively: "He's a garbage contract who only knows how to snoop Snoopy's ass." Offended all the big guys on the Dream Team this year, and I don't want him to bring James Durant and their wrath back to the United Center. ”

Reinsdorf's words set the stage for the next trade, which was to trade Snoopy and Boozer's garbage contract for a superstar insider.

There are actually a lot of options in front of the bulls

Dwight Howard, Mark Gasol, Pau Gasol, Tyson Chandler, Stoudemire, Zach Randolph, Nowitzki, .......

As long as the Bulls loosen up on the trade, the owners of these teams will be eager to push these players onto the trade table.

Gary Foreman was right, the Bulls could get any player they wanted.

"Isn't Kevin Durant thinking about it?" Reinsdorf asked suddenly.

Tom Thibodeau furrowed his eyebrows as well. Durant's style of play is plug-and-play, he can both get off the ground and play fast, and he can partner with Westbrook, and the combination with Derrick Rose will certainly not be a problem.

Only, before Tom Thibodeau answered.

Derrick Rose made it clear that he refused: "I don't want to partner with any player between Kevin Durant and LeBron James. It's going to make me feel weird. ”

"And, I don't think Snoopy would agree to such a deal."

The main point Ross wants to say is the latter sentence.

He knew that the addition of either LeBron or Durant would give the Bulls an edge, but he didn't want to fight Snoopy's arch-enemy partner. There is no superfluous reason, just one word: love!

His affection with the Duke is evident.

With Derek's direct opposition, the Bulls' trading idea was immediately finalized: to supplement the super inside. Supplemented by 3D players on the wings.

When the Bulls' core team cleared their minds, someone quickly executed it.

And at the same time as they set out to let out the wind and make contact with their favorite team.

The NBA unexpectedly erupted into a seismic four-way trade.

After almost two seasons of Howard's toss, Orlanders finally couldn't take it anymore. And the keen Lakers seized the opportunity, and they once again acquired the league's No. 1 center from the Magic in a four-way trade.

In this blockbuster deal involving the Lakers, Magic, 76ers, and Nuggets, the Lakers sent Andrew Bynum, McRoberts, Aienga and a 2015 protected second-round pick and a 2017 protected first-round pick. Received: Howard, Earl Clark, and Duhon.

The Magic, on the other hand, sent Dwight Howard, Clark, Dujon and Jason Richardson. Get Afflaro and Harrington from the Nuggets, Harkless and Vucevic from the 76ers, and McRoberts and Ayngar from the Lakers. There are also 2013 second-round picks (Nuggets), 2014 first-round picks (Nuggets), 2015 protected first-round picks (76ers), 2015 protected second-round picks (Lakers), and 2017 protected first-round picks (Lakers).

The other two participants, the 76ers sent Iguodala, Harkless, Vucevic and a protected first-round pick in 2015 to get Bynum and Jason Richardson. The Nuggets sent Afflalo, Harrington, a 2013 second-round pick and a 2014 first-round pick to Iguodala.

It's a get-your-go-get-your-need deal.

The Magic got rid of Howard's endless fuss and got a huge number of rookies and draft picks, and the Lakers formed a new F4 lineup: Kobe, Nash, Pau Gasol, Dwight Howard. As for the 76ers and the Nuggets, they also take what they need and get the people they want.

In a sense, it's a win-win-win, all-round deal.

However.

On the afternoon of the closing of the deal, the exciting news broke in Chicago that Orlandos regretted it so much that their bowels were blue.

Because, ESPN revealed that the absolute core of the Chicago Bulls, two-time Finals MVP winner Snoopy, is seeking a trade, and the Bulls want to trade him for a super insider.

Isn't this tailor-made for the Magic?

Who else deserves more than Howard to be a super inside???

But now, he's gone to the Lakers.

All of a sudden, the sky over Orlando was hovering with letters starting with F. If you can trade Snoopy, who wants these potential players and draft picks? Snoopy is a once-in-a-century super cornerstone.

Still, the most curious thing is: Why is Snoopy seeking a deal? Is he having trouble with the Bulls? Or is it just fake news???

Frankly, at that moment, everyone's first thought was questioning.

After all, the Duke and the Bull are now achieving each other and climbing to the highest peaks, and there is no reason to break up.

At this time, a fund manager named West walked into the Lakers club, and he was about to talk to the president of the Lakers.
