The Pistons' opening is actually just an ordinary regular season, but it's not an ordinary regular season. A lot of the media has taken it upon themselves to pick up the pace, the local media coverage in Detroit has been drowned in endless saliva, and more and more neutral fans are beginning to express their pessimism about the new team.

Of course, this is very unpleasant, especially since the whole Pistons team is already full of ambition to play a good record this season. So when Brown announced that he would not be interviewed unless necessary, there was no sign of opposition, apparently in the hope that they would be able to block out outside distractions during this time. Of course, there are also many players who privately ask Chang Wei to increase their training plans, and they want to improve their personal strength faster.

At the same time, the Pistons' reinforcement plan has not stopped, and Dumas has been looking for a player who can be used as a second team scorer, preferably in the backcourt, after consulting with Brown. After all, Barry is 33 years old, and although he played 82 regular season games and started six games for the team last season, he has never been a scoring maniac in his career, and being able to catch and hit three-pointers in open positions is already his limit, and the Pistons are in great need of a Arenas-style player right now.

Brown naturally can't do anything to dig into the corner of his old club, and now that Arenas has shown his potential, if the 76ers management is not stupid, he will definitely not open a trade. Just when they were bothered by this matter, Chang Wei once again silently proposed to them a candidate they had never considered: Bulls guard Jamal Crawford.

Chang Wei is well aware of the ability of the future NBA quarter-playing king to steal points, and he is suitable to lead the Pistons' bench lineup, because no one creates opportunities for him, and everything has to be done by himself, which is what Crawford is good at. The key question is, what price do the Pistons have to pay if they want to get him?

Brown was convinced of Chang Wei's vision, and he immediately began to discuss with Dumas how to get the third-year guard. Without the help of the system, they can only analyze the Bulls' lineup to determine what type of players the opponent needs, and then look for them in their roster, and if they really don't, they have to change targets.

The Bulls' most well-stocked position is naturally forward, including their team's scoring leader Jalen Rose, there are a total of three main forwards, and they are also not short of inside, Eddie Curry and Chandler's young combination makes any team's general manager and head coach drool, and they also have a target for training on the guard line - this year's leader Jay Williams.

This situation is a bit tricky, is the bull now desireless?

However, Chang Wei quickly saw the Bulls' flaws, they were too young in the backcourt and inside, and needed to be coached by experienced veterans. And as a shooting guard, Crawford doesn't have that much status with the Bulls, and even though he's a high-pick rookie, there are plenty of players on the wing who can swing down to the No. 2 position at any time. In this way, if the Pistons can provide them with rookie mentors, they should be able to successfully impress the Bulls' management.

To be on the safe side, Chang Wei simulated the deal on the system, and to his surprise, the success rate of backup point guard Atkins was as high as 92, but the success rate of backup center Moore was only 67. In fact, from Chang Wei's point of view, sending Moore away is the most appropriate, because the team now has Heywood who can play as a backup center, and there is no player who can replace Atkins in the back line, so trading Moore for Crawford is the best option.

But judging from the success rate of the trade, it is easier to get Crawford by sending Atkins away, but if the chips offered by the Pistons are Moore, they may need to be involved with the Bulls for a long time, and it is not yet known whether it can be done in the end, you must know that below 60 is already a deal that may fail, and Moore for Crawford is only 7 points higher.

When he told Brown and Dumas about the two options, Brown didn't react much, and Dumas gave him a slightly strange look, as if he didn't understand why he pushed Atkins and Moore out. Chang Wei quickly explained, and finally concluded: "I think the Bulls are likely to accept Atkins' offer, but we also need guards, so I recommend trading Moore to Crawford if we can accept other additions!" ”

Dumas smiled and asked, "Do you have any confidence in saying that?" Or is there a grapevine? ”

Chang Wei shook his head and said: "There is no reason, this is just my personal speculation, if you believe it, you can naturally use these two offers to test the reaction of the Bulls management, anyway, just ask, we don't suffer, right?" ”

Dumas shrugged his shoulders and looked at Brown, he actually had no prejudice against the Chinese, but he didn't think Chang Wei had any extraordinary ability. Brown nodded hurriedly, he had seen Chang Wei's vision countless times, although this time it was not to pick a rookie or a free agent or anything, but based on his previous experience, such a prediction should not be wrong.

Dumas gave him another deep look and went back to his office to contact the Bulls management. When his back disappeared completely, Brown patted Chang Wei's shoulder and asked seriously, "Chang, how sure are you about this deal?" ”

"Atkins is 100 per cent, Moore can't say it's good, but I still recommend sending Moore away, even if it costs something, we can't have Chauncey on the court for more than 40 minutes every game, right?"

Brown sighed and didn't speak, of course he knew what the team wasn't good enough for, but a lot of times you don't have to find a problem and you're going to be able to fix it. Chang Wei smiled and comforted him: "Coach, you have to believe in the level of the general manager, after all, he has been in the league for so many years, and he knows better than us how to operate." ”

Dumas, who was praised by Chang Wei, was on the phone in the office, and the more he talked, the more frightened he became, and the Bulls' reaction was almost exactly the same as what Chang Wei said, if the Pistons took out Atkins, they could complete a one-on-one deal, but if the chips sent were Moore, then it would need to be discussed again, and it was not ruled out that they would ask for an additional future draft pick. Dumas's mind couldn't help but think of Chang Wei's sworn appearance before, did he consider letting this kid participate in this transaction?
