Genius one second to remember the address of this site: (vertex Chinese)., the fastest update! No ads!
"The Cavaliers want us to take the Jazz's Alexander Pavlovich and give it to them, and they'll get a future first-round pick, specifically the 2007 first-round pick."
Regarding the expansion draft-related trade, Kevin Pritchard was holding a stack of emails and making a specific report.
Qiao Hai, who sat behind the desk, flipped through the list of two unprotected players for the Jazz, Pavlovich and Michael Ruffin.
Michael Ruffin is not interested in him, and Alexander Pavlovich is not the player he wants, so this deal can be done, and the Bobcats can get a first-round pick for nothing and make a lot of money.
"Reply directly to the Knights and agree to the deal."
Kevin Pritchard immediately nodded and took notes.
"The Phoenix Suns want us to draft Jahi White, who has a $6 million annual salary and one year left on his contract, and they are making an offer for next year's first-round pick from the Cavaliers."
The Cavaliers' first-round pick, Qiao Hai recalled slightly, this draft pick may be a lotto, but after the influence of Qiao Hai's little butterfly, he can't be sure that this draft pick must be a lotto, Qiao Hai can only say that this draft pick will at least be a draft pick above the middle of the first round.
Well, the deal can be done, only to make money and not to lose.
But the problem is that Qiao Hai is clear behind the Suns deal, and the Phoenix wants to clear Jahidi White's big contract and free up salary space to sign Steve Nash, who becomes a full free agent, after the free market opens.
Qiao Hai's current consideration is whether to help the Suns, and whether Steve Nash should intervene in the signing of the Bobcats.
Qiao Hai still needs further thought about this deal, and his answer is: "Put it on hold for the time being, I'll think about it." ”
Kevin Pritchard nodded again and continued: "The Clippers want us to pick Pedragderobiak in return, and in return, they can complete a deal with us, trading our first-round pick No. 4 and second-round pick No. 4. ”
The Clippers have two other unprotected players, Kenyon Dulin and Melvin Eli, a point guard with a peak 9 points and 3 assists and a center with a peak 9 points and 5 rebounds.
Qiao Hai felt that these two players were not needed much by the Bobcats, and they were not worth as much as a list of signs, so he nodded: "Reply to them and agree to the deal." ”
This deal Bobcats only make money, Drobiak only has $2.5 million, and the salary space of the Bobcats next season must be very sufficient, swallowing such a contract, it is not a problem, and it is just enough to fill the poor line, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone.
As for how to use the list, Qiao Hai also has a plan of his own.
"The Knicks want us to pick Anfernee Hardaway, who has $14 million a year and two years on his contract, and they're giving him a first-round pick next year plus lottery protection."
The 14 million contract is obviously a bit big, and it's still two years, $15 million in the second year, such a big contract, even the Bobcats, who don't have a player now, have to think about whether to swallow it.
But Qiao Hai thought about it, the Knicks are destined to miss the playoffs in the next few seasons, so the return on this deal is still quite large, and the Bobcats may get a lottery pick.
Qiao Hai felt that he could take a gamble.
But proper haggling is also a must.
"Reply to them, remove lotto protection, and we'll agree to the deal."
The 2005 draft was considered a middle-aged one, and there were still two cornerstone players, and if lotto protection was added, the draft picks would have to be extended into 2006.
The 2006 draft was a small year, with few cornerstone players.
Therefore, Qiao Hai still wants to get the 2005 draft pick.
"The Celtics want us to pick out Weinbeck, who has a salary of 5 million a year and two years left on his contract, and they are offering two second-round picks in the future."
Qiao Hai saw the names Brandon Hunt and Kendrick Perkins, so he waved his hand directly: "Reject them." ”
The value of the second-round pick is not high, Qiao Hai thinks that it is not as high as a Kendrick Perkins, especially if this is a future second-round pick, and Kendrick Perkins takes it, Qiao Hai adjusts it a little, and it is possible that it will be worth a lotto in the future.
Kevin Pritchard just wanted to continue to report, but Qiao Hai changed his mind again, and he waved his hand again: "No, reply to them, two second-round picks will be exchanged for one first-round pick, and we will agree to the trade." ”
Kevin Pritchard nodded, then continued.
"The 76ers want us to pick Derrick Coleman, with an annual salary of 4 million and one year left, and the offer they made is a second-round pick."
"Reply to them and agree to the offer."
The 76ers' other unrestricted player is Greg Buckner, who can't attract Qiao Hai, so the deal can be done, and the Bobcats are sure to make a profit.
"The Wizards want us not to choose Steve Blake, and they're willing to pay $500,000 for that."
Qiao Hai replied decisively: "Refuse." ”
Money naturally can't tempt Qiao Hai, not to mention a player like Steve Blake, Qiao Hai uses it to train it, and it is no problem to exchange it for millions of dollars in the future.
"The Magic want us not to pick Reece Gaines because it's a trade of theirs, and they're willing to give a second-round pick to compensate."
"Reply to the magic aspect, agree to the deal."
……
Several trade proposals that were easy to make a decision were quickly processed by Qiao Hai.
After Kevin Pritchard replied one by one, it was not long before there was a response to two of the deals that required a bargain.
The Knicks' reply was: "Agree to remove lotto protection." ”
Isaiah Thomas, the current general manager of the Knicks, is still very confident, and he feels that no matter what, it is impossible for the current Knicks not to make the playoffs, because they have Stephen Marbury and Alan Houston.
And, if the Bobcats choose Anfernee Hardaway, then the Knicks will also have a salary space of about $5 million for them to make minor repairs.
The Celtic reply was: "No bargaining!" ”
Qiao Hai smiled and directly threw aside the Celtics' offer, since that was the case, don't blame him for picking Kendrick Perkins.
……
In the end, Qiao Hai was thinking about the Sun's deal.
Steve Nash is a player worth grabbing, but he doesn't know if Nash will choose Bobcats, after all, the Bobcats have only one advantage over the Suns - their head coach is Qiao Hai, a head coach who has won the O'Brien Cup four times in the past six seasons.
Compared to the Suns, the disadvantages are much larger, except for one draft pick that can pick up lottery rookies, the players on the team are players who are not in the rotation of other teams.
Judging from this time, this group of players of the Bobcats may not even have a single one who can play as a starter.
Steve Nash is 30 years old, and he is already not young, and if he wants to change teams at this time, he must focus on results, and the Bobcats' lineup is too disadvantaged.
Compared to the Suns' Stoadamayr Gajo Johnson, the gap is still too big.
Qiao Hai decided to make a phone call to test it first.
