Chapter 189: Five Families
If the Raptors died on their own, the Magic team was decisively decisively deceived.
Hu Qingniu's old friend, Gabriel, the general manager of the Magic team, draws a fork in front of a piece of scratch paper in his office.
While drawing a cross, he muttered to himself.
"The Lakers lied to me O'Neal, liar, cross out."
After saying that, a big cross was drawn on the Lakers name.
"Hill, the Wizards lied to me, big liar, absolutely going to be forked off."
So the Wizards were also drawn a cross.
"Next, the Bobcats actually set me a draft pick, super big liar, fuck off."
The Bobcats were immediately smeared out of sight.
After doing this, Gabriel lay down angrily in his office chair. He has been the general manager of the Magic team for more than ten years, but now is his toughest year, and if he doesn't handle Maddie's trade, it is estimated that he will not be far from being laid off.
This year, Maddie's back injury has come and gone, the team's record has been dismal, and the team owner has long lost patience with the sick number. On the other hand, Maddie didn't want to do it anymore, and last year he traded away Maddie's friend Miller, which made Maddie very dissatisfied.
This year, the management made another laughable trade and became the laughing stock of the league, which made the Maddie management even more disappointed. If we can win, all this is still within the range of tolerability, but the team is at the bottom of the league, and someone will always take the blame.
The management gave the pot to Maddie, thinking that he was a cancer and a ball bully, while Maddie thought that the management was chaotic and the coach's tactics were thoroughly studied, so the contradictions between Maddie and the management gradually became irrecoordinated.
For the rest of the league, the Raptors and Magic are both the proprietors of the tofu shop, and everyone wants to take advantage. And the Raptors and Magic swapped, this plan was not considered by both parties, first, the Raptors didn't want Maddy, they originally left here, and how embarrassing it was to come back. Second, the Magic believes that the value of the two is not equal, and Maddie is obviously more valuable, but the Raptors will definitely not increase the price outside of Carter.
---
After a while, Hu Qingniu came back to his senses from the shocked joy, and he had to take advantage of the opportunity when it came, otherwise he wouldn't be able to catch it, especially the magic team, which must have been prepared.
The magician said at this time.
"I've contacted both teams, and they've both quoted."
When Hu Qingniu saw the magician's expressionless face, he knew that the Bobcats couldn't afford this price.
Sure enough, the magician continued.
"The Raptors' offer is Wade, and they don't want anyone else but Wade."
Hu Qingniu frowned, this is impossible.
"The Magic ask for a higher price, and in addition to Wade, we have to add our big man king in exchange for Maddie."
This is even more impossible, the Bobcats are currently second in the East, and the Magic team is crazy to use the big boss of the second team in the East plus the second leader to exchange the big boss of the bottom team.
The magician said.
"I can tell Gabriel doesn't want to talk to us at all."
Hu Qingniu replied.
"We're not in a hurry, let's let them go around the market first. Looking at the situation, I don't think any team is going to trade away the biggest players to bet on them. ”
The magician said.
"The 76ers might."
Hu Qingniu thought about it, the 76ers had a poor record, and there were many contradictions between Iverson and the team.
Historically, Carter's deal for the Raptors has done something stupid again. Trade Carter for Alonzo Mourning along with Aaron Williams and Eric Williams, as well as two second-round picks for the Nuggets.
The subject of this trade, Mourning, has long been declared athletic dead by doctors, but the Raptors don't know what they're betting on.
Now Carter's trade has been brought forward by a full year, and there are reasons why Bosh's future is exciting. But the Nets certainly won't be able to get that leverage, because those two draft picks were bought by the Nets in exchange for Kenyon Martin, and now Martin is still on the Nets, and Eric Williams hasn't arrived yet.
With less than 40 hours to go before the deadline, the Raptors first tried to quote prices to all the teams that came to inquire.
At the beginning, it was the lions who opened their mouths, such as the 76 team, and the Raptors asked Iverson by name; Team Rocket, Yao Ming, no one else can. After such a round, the Raptors found themselves that they had not made any substantial progress other than offending all the teams.
Because the teams that have superstars in the league are relatively stable now. It's not uncommon for a team to trade for their own signatures, and management like the Raptors and Magic is rare.
From the information gathered during this time, Hu Qingniu and Magic learned that almost every team in the league was interested in these two men. However, there were about 5 valid chips.
First up is the Nuggets on the Denver Plateau, who currently sit ninth in the West and are a team on the fringes of the playoffs that need to be strengthened. On top of that, they have too many big guys. They can offer the Brazilian inside~, plus traditional point guard Miller and a future first-round pick.
This chip has potential players, there are instant fighters, and the most important thing is to supplement the shortcomings of the Raptors' interior line. Originally, Camby was also a good bargaining chip, but Camby had already fallen out with the management when he left the Raptors, and now there is no reason to want him.
Then there's the Miami Heat on the East Coast, who are eighth in the East, and Riley wants to take a gamble and speed up the rebuilding process. They can offer either Odom and Eddie Jones, plus this year's rookie Chris Carman.
After more than half a season, Carman has at least shown that he can be a qualified starting center. Compared with other high-ranking rookies, it was a bit heart-wrenching, but at that time, that position was at most the level of Karman.
This chip can be said to be the most sincere chip at the moment, and the Heat have a lot of chips that can be chosen by the Raptors.
The Suns also came in for a kick, and their chips were Sean Marion and Joe Johnson, if Hu Qingniu made the deal. He definitely changed this chip, but the general manager of the Raptors is not Hu Qingniu, and it is difficult for him to believe in the future of Joe Johnson, a young man, and Marion, who is now just a big brush in the eyes of many management in the league.
It's true that Marion's technical movements are ugly and his independent offensive ability is poor, but as a second-in-command, Marion is perfect, he is a jack-of-all-trades player. It is the coach's favorite type, and Hu Qingniu has him who can match 3 or 4 more sets of lineups.
Compared to the three teams above, the fourth, the New York Knicks are like they are here to play soy sauce. They just brought Marbury from the Suns, and they certainly won't trade it out. Their chips are Alan Houston plus two future first-rounders.
Such a humble chip certainly doesn't attract the interest of the Raptors.
The final fifth team is the 76ers, and their chips have not been announced, and there is no news from Magic's channels. Hu Qingniu They don't know at the moment, but the guess is that it is likely to be Iverson, after all, in addition to Iverson, the 76ers do not have good chips.
The question is whether Iverson is willing to go, although Larry Brown was swept away and the 76ers' record this season has dropped to the bottom.
But trading Iverson? This is crazy!
