Chapter 120: Crazy Operation
Hui Qiaohai is very sure that the Hornets will definitely accept Brad Miller's trade for two rounds.
Brad Miller's value is not high, after all, he is a backup center, and it is already good to be able to exchange two second-round picks, and the Hornets should clearly recognize this.
……
StuJackson's side had just finished negotiations with the Raptors, and the Timberwolves and Hawks had arrived.
Obviously, the Timberwolves and Hawks were a little late, and the deal was almost done, and they reacted.
Qiao Hai looked at the offers of these two teams, and the Timberwolves directly agreed to the Grizzlies' offer, they are really interested in Philip Lopez now, plus the list can choose a point guard, when the time comes, as long as the rookie point guard performs well, Trill Brandon, who was disappointing last season, can be traded, and in order to strengthen the wing and point guard, the Timberwolves don't care about anything.
And the Eagles are still haggling, they don't want to give away so many picks, four at once, it's crazy, so they want to trade one of those picks for a player.
Qiao Hai was no longer patient to bargain with the Hawks, not to mention that the list was almost certain to go to Toronto, so he directly asked Stu Jackson to reject the Hawks' offer and no longer negotiate.
As for the Timberwolves' offer, Qiao Hai left a guarantee and did not respond for the time being, and waited for him to contact Maddie before making plans.
got Maddie's phone, Qiao Hai didn't contact Maddie directly, he called David Falck first.
Maddie's agent is Aaron Trim, a newcomer who has just started his agent career, but this newcomer has a lot of momentum, not only Maddie, but even Kobe Bryant is also his employer, of course, in front of David Falke, Aruntrim is just a junior.
Joe's idea was to talk to Arendrim first and then persuade Maddie through David Falke.
By that time, Aaron Trim and Joe Hay worked together to persuade Maddie, and it was impossible for Maddie not to agree to join the Grizzlies.
David Falck knew Joehae's thoughts, and he first made a phone call to Arendrim, chatted with Alendrim for a few words, and then transferred the call to Joe.
Soon, Joe Hay was in Stu Jackson's office and connected to Aarontrim's phone.
"Hello, Mr. Qiao Hai."
"Hello, Mr. Aruntrim." The phone was connected, and the two sides first greeted each other.
Then, Qiao Hai went straight to the point: "David Falke called you, right?" ”
Aarontrim replied in the affirmative: "Yes, Mr. Joe. ”
"That's simple, to put it simply, I'm the head coach of the Grizzlies right now, and I'm very bullish on your player, Tracy McGrady, so I'm hoping to get Tracy through a trade."
"I've learned about this," said Aruntrim, "Tracy said that he didn't want to leave his cousin. ”
"I know, Raptors general manager Glenn Grove informed us, but what I want to say is that leaving the Raptors is definitely a good thing for Tracy, he has no chance with the Raptors, two seasons, he is still a substitute, even Vince Carter, who entered the Raptors after him, has become the best rookie, the new season, maybe Tracy is still a substitute, but if Tracy can come to Vancouver, I can guarantee that Tracy will not only be a starter, but also get countless balls, I will design a single strategy for him, he will become an All-Star in the Grizzlies."
This is a set of rhetoric prepared by Qiao Hai, and he will persuade Maddie later, and Qiao Hai is also this set of rhetoric.
However, Stu Jackson and Billy Knight were stunned for a moment, Maddie was just a substitute, averaging 9.3 points, 5.7 rebounds, 2.3 assists, 1.1 steals and 1.3 blocks per game last season.
Aarontrim on the other end of the line was a little silent, he was thinking.
Aaron Trim is still Kobe's agent, and from Kobe's mouth, he knows that although Qiao Hai is young, he is a very powerful coach.
Kobe Bryant is full of praise for Qiao Hai, and Aaron Trim is also very grateful to Qiao Hai, Kobe Bryant's progress last season he sees in his eyes, a shrinking season, Kobe has stood out from the ranks of All-Stars, and is about to reach the superstar level, with Kobe's performance in the Western Conference Finals and Finals, when Kobe's rookie contract ends, the next contract will definitely be a super big contract, and even, just after the finals, Kobe has received countless people.
Under Qiao Hai's coaching, Kobe Bryant has made great progress, but what about Maddie?
As Qiao Hai said, Maddie has never had much of a chance with the Raptors, and if it weren't for Carter, Maddie would have sought to leave a long time ago.
The Raptors don't pay attention to Maddie at all, they only regard Maddie as Carter's helper, and even, in order to sign the list, Maddie can be used as a trade item.
Aarontrim was a little dissatisfied with the management of the Raptors, so after Qiao Hai's persuasion, Aarontrim was moved.
"But it's up to Tracy herself whether or not to agree to the deal."
As soon as this sentence came out, Qiao Hai knew that Aaron Trim was relieved, and this would be easy to do.
"Later, I'll call to persuade Tracy, but Mr. Aruntrim, I hope you can cooperate with me and persuade Tracy to transfer."
"No problem."
Convincing Arendrim, Joe smiled at Stu Jackson and dialed Maddie directly.
The rhetoric that persuaded Maddie was still the same, Qiao Hai promised the starting position, promised the tactical position, and said that Maddie had begun to hesitate, and the idea of staying with the Raptors was no longer so resolute, and he said that he would still consider it.
Hung up the phone, Qiao Hai was not in a hurry, he knew that Maddie had almost been persuaded by him, and then, it was time for Aruntrim to play his role.
Qiao Hai can already be sure that the trade with the Raptors is successful.
The grizzly bear is ready for the next step.
The first is Philip Lopez, Philip Lopez is tradable, the Timberwolves are interested in Philip Lopez, and now that the Grizzlies don't have a pick, then change the trade offer slightly.
Swapping Philip Lopez for Rasian Nestelovic plus a second-round pick, the Timberwolves shouldn't refuse.
In this way, after the two trades, there are two second-round picks in exchange for Brad Miller.
Then the Grizzlies used one of their two second-round picks to trade for a higher-ranking second-round pick.
After these few trades, the operation before the draft can be considered a perfect end.
Therefore, Qiao Hai looked at the somewhat confused StuJackson: "Stu, send a letter to the Timberwolves and ask them, Philip Lopez for Rasian Nestelovic plus a second-round pick, do you want to do it?" ”
"Also, I want a second-round pick, do you have a result?"
Stu Jackson shook his head directly.
Qiao Hai was also helpless, and there was no result, so he could only turn to David Falck for help.
