Brown sat behind his desk, looked at the folders on the table, and looked at Chang Wei, who was sitting calmly across from him, and finally couldn't help asking: "Chang, it's understandable for me to add Mutombo, after all, the height of our team's interior line is not enough, and Allen also needs a teammate who can protect the basket, but what do you mean by writing Grant Hill's name?" ”

Chang Wei asked rhetorically: "Do you think there is a problem with this candidate?" Or does it not meet your tactical requirements? ”

Brown shook his head and said, "No, I actually admire Grant, but first of all, I don't think the Pistons will let him go easily, and secondly, we can't give him that big contract." You must know that Hill was a top small forward who averaged 25.8 points per game last season, and even if he is determined to leave the Pistons, it will be difficult for Philadelphia to enter his consideration. ”

"Hmm...... I received a grapevine that Hill is indeed preparing to leave the Pistons this summer, and his intention team is the Magic," Chang Wei said with a smile on his chin, "but it seems that the Pistons don't want to make a splash." ”

Chang Wei's words were like a thunderclap on the ground, directly shocking Brown, and it took a while for him to say, "Where did you get this news from?" Are the sources reliable? If it's credible, we don't have to wrestle with magic. ”

Seeing Brown's excited face, Chang Wei was a little weak-hearted, he knew that the price spent by magic in his previous life was relatively low, just Atkins and Ben Wallace. Although Big Ben played last season, contributing 4.8 points and 8.2 rebounds in 81 regular season games for the Magic, it is still far from the level he will be with the Pistons in the future. Not to mention Atkins, who averaged 9.5 points and 3.7 assists per game as a pure bench, and the value of the chip is not very great.

However, the cost of the opponent is not necessarily the price that the 76ers need to spend is also small, and Hill itself is inclined to join the Magic, but the Pistons hope to get some players as compensation. Even if Hill didn't lead the Pistons to make a name for themselves, he still has a good relationship with the team, and the team will take his personal wishes into account.

However, Chang Wei suddenly thought of something, it seems that Hill will become a glass man from next season, and he will also make the high salary offered by the Magic go down the drain. However, this kind of thing is not suitable to be taken out and explained to Brown now, it is better to wait until after the accident to pick up the leak, otherwise Chang Wei feels that he will be thrown into a mental hospital every minute.

He hastened to say: "If we can't get Hill, we can try to get the king's Peja Stojakovic." I heard Sean say that the team has the intention of correcting him, so Peja obviously has to go to the bench, at this time it shouldn't be a big problem to start, if we get Peja, we can have a consistent scoring point outside the three-point line. ”

Brown is still immersed in the beautiful fantasy that he may get Hill, although he also listens to Chang Wei's backup candidate, but in Chang Wei's opinion, he must try to get Hill first, and then consider Peja if it doesn't work. There's no way, Hill is so awesome as the "Jordan's successor", and Chang Wei has no opinion on this, it would be better if he could really get Hill.

As for whether or not Mutombo can be obtained, that is a matter for the management, and Chang Wei has done his duty. And it looks like Brown is quite happy with the "African Mountains" as well, and with his support, management should be more aggressive in asking the Eagles for a price. Thinking of this, Chang Wei said to Brown again: "Coach, I think it's better to let the management finalize the Mutombo deal as soon as possible, so that we can calmly add role players and bench benches without panicking." ”

Brown put down the folder in his hand and nodded: "Your suggestion is very good, I will ask the management to ask Mutombo for the price as soon as possible, if I can bring him to Philadelphia, I will be more confident in the team's record next season." ”

During the whole process, Brown didn't mention that Chang Wei should recruit players, and Chang Wei was a little puzzled at first, thinking that Popovich didn't explain his situation clearly, but soon he found that he had made a big fuss. Whether it's Hill, Peja or Mutombo, they are not free agents now, so naturally there is no recruitment, when they want to recruit free agents, Brown should still think of himself, so he can pay less wages!

When Chang Wei was about to say goodbye and leave, Brown asked again: "Chang, you should have read all the player information I gave you, in your opinion, are there any players who are not strong enough to give up?" ”

Chang Wei shook his head and said, "I'm sorry, coach, no player in my place can give up, even if their strength is not good, I will still try to help them become stronger." So you don't need to take my opinion into account, just start with your tactical system, see which players don't fit, and then trade them out, and that's it. ”

Brown looked at him deeply and muttered, "It's the first time I've seen such an arrogant little guy as you in all my years of coaching." There's nothing you can't give up...... Hehe, I'm really looking forward to training camp next season! ”

Chang Wei didn't hear what the old coach said, and he planned to go back and continue to search to see which players the team could bring in, so he hurriedly left Brown's office. When Chang Wei closed the door, Brown picked up the folder that had just been placed on the table and looked at it carefully, thinking about what the team could pay for these players.

In Brown's view, in order to win the O'Brien Cup, there is no player that cannot be sacrificed, as long as the team can go further, the sacrifice must also be sacrificed. In fact, this is his usual style, in his previous life, the 2003 class of Milicic was scrapped by Brown, he doesn't like to train young people, and prefers to use veterans in his playing years.

Before the crossing, Chang Wei saw fans discussing a question on the Internet more than once, if Milicic hadn't played under Brown at the beginning, would he have achieved higher achievements as the "03 Golden Generation"? There's no answer to that question because there's no if, but it's true that Milicic only averaged just over five minutes per game in his three seasons with the Pistons, and it didn't get better until he left, but those three years were enough to drain his talent and passion.

So this is also the reason why Chang Wei did not recommend young people to Brown, otherwise there are still many people to choose from in the small forward position, such as Artest, Szebiak, Margeti and Marion, etc., all of whom have enough strength to become the starting small forward of the 76ers. But looking at Brown's employment habits, Chang Wei still thinks it's good to recommend Hill and Peja to him.
