After this email was replied to the boss, the five core of the Eagles played around in Coach Kruger's room for a while, and Coach Kruger ordered food at the hotel.

A beep for an email reply.

"Ace, go take a look at it for me." Coach Kruger was chatting with Kwame Brown and wasn't available.

Liu Mang ran over to see that it was Pat Riley's email forwarded by the boss again.

Liu Mang clicked on it, and Pat Riley replied: "You guys don't have enough chips like this." ”

"What do you mean?" Liu Mang was shocked!

Just as he was about to tell Kruger coach Pat Riley for a reply, Coach Kruger's cell phone rang.

Liu Mang estimated that it was the boss's phone number.

Sure enough, when Coach Kruger came back with a phone call outside the room, he looked strange.

Liu Mang's expression was also weird, and Coach Kruger's expression when he returned to the room was also weird, and the abnormal reactions of the two attracted the attention of the others in the room.

"Ace, what's wrong?" Maddie walked up to Liu Mang and asked, suddenly remembered something, and his face became frightened: "Ace, shouldn't it be ......?"

Liu Mang looked at Maddie and nodded: "Ah...... yes, that guy doesn't play by the rules......"

……

Originally, Coach Kruger just wanted to communicate with the five core players in the last game of the year on this trade issue and strengthen the teammate between the cores, but suddenly received a trade application from the Heat.

I didn't expect to want to disgust Pat Riley's behavior, but the other party actually responded!

Liu Mang didn't expect that Pat Riley really put Wade on the shelf!

There was no noise for the time being, Liu Mang originally wanted to say it directly, but Coach Kruger went out to call Liu Mang to calm down and think about the time, so that Liu Mang decisively shut up and did not publicize it.

Coach Krueger didn't say anything when he came back, adjusted his mentality, and continued to eat and drink.

Maddie is from the past, he knows how to deal with this kind of thing, secretly complained to Liu Mang, and continued to play.

Anyway, the Hawks can't trade him for Wade, he will only turn 28 at the end of May next year, he is in his prime, and he is at the peak of his contract value, the main thing is not to affect the mentality of his teammates.

After afternoon tea, everyone else left, Maddie knew what was going on, and he didn't stay, after all, he had nothing to worry about, unless the Heat added Stoudemire, with two top players with huge injury risk, plus together to exchange him.

If the Heat really did that, he couldn't help it, and the two of them combined were just about the same salary as him.

But with this extremely low probability thing, Maddie has nothing to worry about.

And he is not Liu Mang, the management's attention to him is not the same as the importance of Liu Mang, as a veteran player, Maddie knows this very well.

After the others left, Liu Mang stayed in Coach Kruger's room, looking at Pat Riley's reply, and the two still felt weird.

"Coach, what does that oily head think? Do any other stars dare to go to them? Liu Mang can finally complain to his heart's content.

"If they're giving them enough money, and it's the exciting South Coast, there's going to be somebody." Coach Krueger has been the head coach and deputy general manager for so long and has seen this through.

"That's right, no one is going to have trouble with money." Liu Mang nodded, "Then what are we going to do?" That's Dwyane Wade, the only way to get him is this year, his salary this year is only more than 3 million, and we won't have a chance when the contract comes into effect next year."

"......" Coach Kruger was silent, and he didn't expect it.

Not to mention predicting it, I didn't even expect this to happen.

When the star is seriously injured, the general team will give care, reflecting the team's humanistic care.

That's what the Hawks did when Wilkins ruptured his Achilles tendon, and Coach Kruger, who was in his early 30s and had just become the head coach of the Georgia Tech Jackets, had also paid attention to that.

However, Coach Kruger didn't expect it at all, he followed Liu Mang's bad idea to disgust Pat Riley, and the owner Price probably had the same mentality and replied to such an offer, completely unexpectedly that the Heat were actually considering trading Wade!

Coach Kruger was silent for a while and asked, "Ace, you should know the specific situation of Wade's injury, right?" ”

"Uh...... Right. Liu Mang thought of the specific diagnosis report that Schwartz gave him to Wade.

Maybe the diagnosis report on the Heat side is not as clear as Liu Mang's side, after all, Wade is a player under Schwartz.

"Do you think Wade can get back to 80 percent of his previous level?" Coach Krueger made a conservative prediction.

This is the problem...... Liu Mang's eyes lit up, this is a chance!

Thinking that it was possible to break up the hard-working mandarin duck combination, Liu Mang was very excited!

Although it is not the same as the future helper originally envisaged, the current situation of the alliance is completely different from the one that was designed in the early days.

The current alliance is more brutal than expected!

Gasol was sent to the Lakers by another 24-named logo man who loved him so much, and the Suns straightened Gentry early, opening up another kind of strong, Spurs getting Artest, all of which were different.

Then there's the Bulls, and the Hawks haven't played against the Bulls yet, but Garnett has two meat shields and a bunch of mid-to-long-range shooters who can defend......

Two superstars with two or three first-class stars seems to be a bit insufficient!

Originally, if Artest or Garnett got the striker, the situation would be very different, no matter which of these two people was obtained, it would be much easier to play those super strong teams!

The gap between Prince and Artest is obviously obvious, Prince is a top defense, Artest is still a defense even if he is banned for a year, he is still a defense when he comes back, this is the best defensive player who can defend from the No. 1 position to the No. 4 position, and his age is also at his peak......

The main reason is that the trend of the league has not developed towards small balls as Liu Mang expected, but those teams that aspire to compete for the championship have begun to hoard inside lines in order to deal with the small balls of the Eagles.

The more extreme example is the Suns, who traded Stoudemire for O'Neal, which greatly limited the small-ball play of the Hawks' rotational lineup.

Liu Mang and a few starting teammates are not afraid of anyone, but it will be painful to rotate the lineup against those teams that have super inside lines, or even more than one super inside line.

But what if the outside line is strong to the extreme?

Besides, the interior line of his own team is not weak, Marion is a top star when he plays power forward, Kwame Brown is the best center in the league for single defense, and the Hawks' interior group is just just over the Lakers, Spurs, Mavericks and other teams, and the Bulls may also be one, but in the face of teams with first-class interior combinations such as the Cavaliers, Raptors, and Rockets, they are still on par.

Now there are fewer and fewer super insiders, and the probability that the Hawks can get it is very small, just like Embiid in the future, who will be reimbursed for several years in a row, and the 76ers are willing to wait, the rarer it is, the more precious it is.

Liu Mang thought that the era that would accelerate did not come, so he had to find a new way.

There's a top-notch inside, and while it's not a dream high school kid combination like Garnett and Kwame Brown, it's a top-notch interior with a super outside group......

Also worth trying.

This season, the Eagles are taking this route, but they are not super to the extent that Liu Mang ideals.

Battier is really a rookie and is at his peak, and he doesn't seem to know how to score after his rookie season, except for the bottom corner three-point offensive end with two setters, although it is a good return, but obviously, Battier is at his peak, and it is not unreasonable for the Rockets to post a mid-first-round draft pick in order to get Iguodala, who was depressed by other teams.

Seeing the super combination of other teams, Liu Mang also wants to engage in a super outside combination that goes the opposite way, Mitaka is very sassy, but why don't you stop being sassy if you can be more sassy?

Liu Mang thought about it, what he originally wanted was Carter, but Carter's salary was too high, and the top salary was renewed until 2012, with more than 21 million in the last year, and more than 16 million in the lowest year, which was simply unaffordable.

Wade is relatively much cheaper, with a starting salary of more than 12 million in 2005, and he also gave up the right to use the two-time All-Star team to trigger the Ace clause.

Now that there's Wade in front of you, why not fight for it?

Even if you don't succeed, that's okay.

As for Wade's injuries......

Does Liu Mang care about this, if it's a teammate, even if it's only four years, it's easy to use! Four years later, Wade will also be 29 and almost 30, and Wade's body is destined to be the same as most superstars who collapse after the age of 30, and it is also excellent to use these four years.

And even if there is a problem that Wade is not satisfied with the role at that time...... Although the probability is small, Wade will definitely play an amazing performance after recovering from injury, the new four-year contract is signed, and the transaction is definitely a very attractive bargaining chip, so it is possible to get the super inside line that was not obtained before!

Thinking of this, Liu Mang felt excited!

Liu Mang calmed his emotions, thought about it, let's talk about a more conservative expectation, Liu Mang hesitated for a while, and said to Coach Kruger, who was looking forward to it: "Eighty percent...... I guess it's okay, and Jeff is very confident. ”

Hearing this affirmative answer, Coach Krueger thought for a moment and said, "Okay, I'll discuss with the boss, if the price is reasonable, we can try to fight for it." ”

After Coach Kruger finished speaking, he paused and continued: "But in that case, we will have a big problem this season!" ”

After Liu Mang was excited, he also paid attention to this problem.

What kind of chips do the Heat want?

In the Hawks' favor is Wade's four-year salary cap, and with the mentality that the Heat owners are unwilling to take on the luxury tax, it is very likely that Pat Riley will be tested at this point, as long as the price is reasonable, of course, it is reasonable for Wade, who is relatively injured.

"Give it a try, and even if we don't close the deal, we won't lose." Liu Mang responded.

Coach Kruger thinks so.

Now that it's decided, let's just do it!

That's what makes them special!

……

That night, Price, the owner of the Eagles, arrived at the Eagles' arena in the small town of Rutherford with his secretary and some team staff.

The Nets are now in a tough time in the fight for eighth place in the East, and they don't dare to be careless every game, although the infighting continues, but the good thing is that both Carter and Kidd want to play well now, and they are expected to have a team look at them.

Both of them have long contracts, Kidd signed a six-year contract after losing to the Spurs in the 03 Finals, which only expired in 2009, and Carter was traded to the Nets when he renewed his six-year contract in advance, which just came into effect this season and only expired in 2012.

The Nets are actively preparing for the game, but the head coach and star of the Hawks are almost forgetting about them and focusing on negotiations with the Heat.

Price and Pat Riley had a not-so-long phone call, and after the phone hung up, Liu Mang felt a little short of breath and asked, "Boss, how's it going?" Did they say yes? ”

Price had a strange expression and said with a puzzled face: "Riley don't pull Jane and Danny, Sean ......"

Price is weird, fans and media are praising the Eagles' Granger last year and this year's drafts and Rondo will be the next Josh Smith and Iguodala, how can it be that when it comes to Pat Riley, he doesn't want it?

Battier is also a quality role player who works hard.

"He refused to trade?" Liu Mang had some regrets.

"No, he wants Tyshawn and Paul ......," Price said with more confusion here.

"He's crazy?" Liu Mang complained.

"And," Price didn't finish, "he still wants Kwame." ”

"He's really crazy!" Liu Mang felt that this was no fun, Kwame Brown...... No matter how you trade, you can't trade the center! Stoudemire can't even be replaced, which is the cornerstone of the Hawks' defense.

"I also refused, he seemed to guess that I would refuse, and he wanted to talk about it tomorrow." Price explained.

"What does he mean by that?" Coach Kruger couldn't figure it out.

Price shook his head, he had never negotiated a deal like this.

"I want to ...... Riley wants Auden......" Liu Mang said uncertainly.

Riley's heart is wild!

Liu Mang can expect how wild this guy is from Pat Riley's amazing idea of letting the Lakers trade Jordan with Magic, you must know that Magic was the first person in history at that time.

But how does Liu Mang feel...... What about the Heat becoming a sheep that can keep their beds furn?

Riley is such a nice guy!

The Rockets are almost on the mattress, and it's the Heat's turn next?

Liu Mang thinks it's very feasible!

But how the deal will go out now, just like a fog, Liu Mang feels that Pat Riley has the heart to want to trade, but he has the ruthlessness to rather be broken than broken.

Price and Coach Kruger thought that guy was Pat Riley and thought it was very possible that this guy could do anything.

Liu Mang suddenly thought of one thing: "Riley doesn't want to pull Jane, it won't be that he wants to pursue Kidd!" ”

"Kidd?!" Both Coach Krueger and Price exclaimed.

That way, everything makes sense!

"The Heat want Kidd, Kidd plus Stoudemire, and they could get the high pick......" Price was a little incoherent.

Price agrees with Liu Mang's speculation, the Heat team has formed a half-dead situation under the situation of Wade's major injury reimbursement, and can only hope that Stoudemire will not be injured, and expect Wade to have at least eighty or ninety percent of his previous strength after he recovers his health.

But with the bad deal and the trade to get a young replacement, plus the fight for Kidd, the dead end was suddenly revitalized!

Liu Mang's guess made Price feel creepy!

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that Rondo will definitely be a first-class point guard in the future, and that kind of passing awareness, overall situation and defensive ability are something that others can't learn if they want to, but Riley doesn't want a talent that can be seen with the naked eye!

In this way, Liu Mang guessed that the Heat wanted to fight for Kidd...... It's too likely!

Seeing Liu Mang and Coach Kruger talking about this, Price felt the gap between himself and the super general manager, and felt that it was better to hold Liu Mang's thighs......

"It's okay if we're not in a hurry, and don't make irrational decisions lightly." Coach Kruger soothed the two of them, and he was also reassuring himself.

"Yes, boss, you can't be in a hurry!" Liu Mang said to Price, whose expression control system collapsed.

"I know I'll make a decision after we discuss it." Price actually sweated in the winter, although the air conditioner was turned on, it was not so hot that it made people sweat, which was enough to see his nervousness.

Liu Mang thought for a while, had a way, and asked Price: "Boss, how is your relationship with Heat owner Allison?" ”

"I'm more familiar, and I will go to his seaside restaurant for tea when I have time." Price, a little strange, replied anyway.

"That's good, boss, are you free for the next few days?" Liu Mang's eyes began to flicker.

Looking at Liu Mang's expression, Price felt that Mao Mao must have some bad idea!

Although he felt that he was going to be pitted, Price could only admit it, who let this master be the big Buddha he offered, he stubbornly said: "There is nothing important in the next few days, if you have something to ask me for help, I will just push those things away." ”

"No, no, no, I don't have anything to do, but if you're free, go to Miami for a while, play golf with Alison, go fishing...... Can you fish in winter? Liu Mang couldn't help laughing as he spoke.

What is idle! Price was not happy, but when he saw Liu Mang's sinister smile, Price didn't say this, so as not to be hated by this kid, because he was yin, he didn't dare to say anything, just like Jordan pointed at their manager's nose when he was with the Bulls and scolded the manager for being a pig, and the manager could only endure it.

"Just fishing, golfing, or golfing? Don't have to talk to Alison directly? ”

"No, just let Pat Riley know you're going when you go......"

Set a small goal first, such as remembering in 1 second: book guest residence
