Andy Miller sat in his New York office, looking at the mountain-like folders in front of his desk, and he frowned, wondering which document to start with. These are the materials of the super newcomers in the 2003 draft, and although computers are very developed now, all the materials can be stored in the computer, but Miller still prefers paper materials. The feeling of picking and flipping through piles of documents reminded him of a big man who could decide the fate of tens of millions of people by signing.

But now his fate is being decided by the young people behind the papers, who have been trying to get a slice of the 2003 talent since two months ago, and he reached out to LeBron James, but the American high school student has no interest in Miller at all, he has his own plans. He also tried to get his hands on the core of the NCAA champion Syracuse University, the best college player in the country in the country in 2002-2003, MOP Carmelo Anthony, but it was a failure, and Anthony had already been booked by the big-name agent Calvin Andrews.

Miller had also considered a lot of other brilliant young men, but unfortunately none of them considered him - after all, his company had just been launched, and only some people who were not too talented and eager to get into the NBA to get a contract were willing to come to Miller for help because Miller had a super big contract for Garnett. But that's not what Miller wants, and he feels a deep sense of loss and frustration, and it looks like he still has a long way to go in the agent world.

Miller has also been keeping an eye on the playoffs lately, and he is not an accountant who only looks at contracts and negotiates, he knows that the root cause of deciding a player's contract is still basketball, and he is disappointed that the Timberwolves have once again fallen in the first round of the playoffs. They finished fifth in the West during the regular season, but had to face the Los Angeles Lakers in the first round. Even if the Lakers had a bad regular season, they were still the Tigers in the playoffs.

The Timberwolves weren't without chances, stealing a crucial road win in Game 2 of the series, and then returning home in Game 3 to beat the Lakers at the center of the target, where Garnett dominated the game with 33 points, 14 rebounds and 4 assists. The Timberwolves have seen the hope of pulling the defending champion off the horse, but then the old and spicy Lakers eased up, and after a 5-point narrow victory in the fourth game, they returned to their home court and beat the Timberwolves by 30 points. In the end, at the target center, the Timberwolves only held on to the resistance for one quarter, and then completely routed in the back, ending the playoff journey with a 20-point defeat.

In his eighth year in the league, Kevin Garnett has experienced a seven-year playoff itch, all seven years of making it to the first round. In contrast, Tim Duncan, who entered the NBA two years later than Garnett, led the Spurs to fight off the Lakers in the Western Conference semifinals and reached the Western Conference finals, making great strides towards his second championship trophy.

Thinking of this, Andy Miller felt a lot of headaches, he knew that the Timberwolves had begun to prepare for the retention of Garnett, Garnett's salary will reach a staggering $28 million next year, and with the implementation of the new collective bargaining terms, Garnett's next contract will not be so terrible. Even then, it would certainly be a big cake, and Andy Miller could give up those rookies in the 2003 draft, but he couldn't give up Garnett, whose contract commission would be a significant part of the company's revenue.

Now the most worrying thing for Miller is not that the Timberwolves have been eliminated again, anyway, it has been seven years, thinking that Garnett may have gotten used to it, and the Timberwolves management has once again promised to find a good helper for Garnett in the offseason, as long as the Timberwolves do make moves, plus Garnett's feelings for Minnesota and Miller's three-inch tongue, with Miller's understanding of Garnett, he is 90% sure that Garnett will stay in the Timberwolves and sign with the Timberwolves in advance.

The most distressing thing for Miller is in the East, in Boston, in the Celtics, in Fox Leon, because he has led the Green Army to the Eastern Conference semifinals over the Detroit Pistons and into the Eastern Conference Finals, with only four games left before the Finals.

Miller reflected on the horror he had recently watched the news, and how much he wished that after the Pistons' defeat in Game 3, he could turn his grief into strength in Game 4 and win an away game to regain the initiative in the series. Unfortunately, Game 4 became a show for Paul Pearce, who scored 40 points in a single game and single-handedly broke through the defense of the Blue Leaders while the Pistons were fully defending. It was also Pierce's first 40-point mark in the playoffs.

With a huge advantage of 3:1, Miller still hopes in his heart that the Pistons can win one game after returning to their home court, and then fight the next game in the sixth game, and return to Detroit in the last game, and the advantage is on the Pistons' side again. He thinks the same as many Pistons fans, but the Celtics won't give the Pistons another chance, and 99:91, the Celtics used full-court suppression at the Auburn Hills Palace Arena to make all the Detroiters' efforts this season come to naught.

The Celtics reached the division finals for the second year in a row, and their opponents in the finals were the New Jersey Nets. So far, the Celtics' path to the playoffs has been exactly the same as last year, and whether it can be different will depend on their outcome against the Nets.

At this time, Miller has undoubtedly become a fan of the Nets, and he only hopes that the Celtics will lose the game and lose the series, so that Leon's promise of "reaching the Finals" at the beginning of the season will be in vain, and Leon's idea of "fighting for you with the championship" that Leon gave to Garne will also become an empty talk, and what championship can he talk about if he can't even enter the Finals?

Miller has even figured out how he will use the media resources in his hands to belittle and discredit Fox Leon after the Celtics lose the Finals, anyway, he is now "black", Leon himself told himself to discredit him through the media, Miller has never heard such a strange request. It's just that Miller finds it even more strange that, no matter how much it is discredited, it seems that the Celtics' record is becoming more stable, and Fox Leon's reputation is getting worse, but he is getting better recognition in coaching the team.

"A magical man......" Miller couldn't help but think, this guy who came out of thin air really has a lot of magic.

But when it wasn't time to praise the guy, Miller scratched his head, put the papers on the table aside, looked at his schedule, and in the afternoon he was going to the hotel to meet a venture capitalist. With the prospect of not being able to get those high-quality young people of 2003, Miller needed some capital sponsorship to strengthen his foundation. If these existing players under his command are not well controlled, then this institution, which has taken a lot of effort and a lot of money to assemble, will face the danger of falling apart.

Thinking of this, Miller hurriedly packed up, prepared a development plan for the company in the next few years, and went out to meet the investor who is said to be a big deal.

Rushing to the agreed place, in the French restaurant on the second floor, Miller met the investor he had made an appointment with, a beautiful lady, at the third round table by the window. Instead of putting up a show to ask the secretary or anyone else to come and see her, she offered to meet Mr. Andy Miller in person. As an agent, Miller never likes troublesome etiquette and troublesome temptations, he likes to go straight and make decisions in the shortest amount of time while being prepared.

Initial negotiations went unexpectedly well, and the investor quickly decided to inject capital into Miller's small economic company, as an individual investor, which would save him a lot of trouble, and Miller would not have to worry about losing control of the company due to the injection of large capital. The investor was also introduced by a friend of Miller's, and Miller was very satisfied that his credibility and capital were absolutely guaranteed.

But just as the two were about to end the friendly meeting, the woman made a condition to Miller, she folded her left leg over her right leg to form a nice scissor shape, and said, "I have a small condition that I want to ...... Mr. Andy Miller can support getting Kevin Garnett to Boston. ”

Miller's heart was shocked, he subconsciously shook his head, but immediately stopped again, and he asked softly, "Can I ask the reason?" ”

The lady smiled, stroked her red hair, and replied, "Because I'm a Bostonite and a Celtic, didn't Rose tell you?" (To be continued.) )
