Chapter 236: Maddie Comes to the Bowl!
1. Li Wei said: "It seems that it is difficult for us to reach an agreement, so let's leave it to President Xia to make the decision." President Xia, you are in charge! ”
Xia Cuirong said lightly: "Since Coach Li is also more optimistic about Maddy, let's try to trade Oakley to trade the Raptors' No. 4 pick or Maddy, and Kanby will forget it." Also, Nash is not for sale for our team, and he can't be involved in any trades. ”
"Alas!"
Many people are sighing, but Dick McGuire has been half retired, KC Jones, Chuck Daley and Dennis Johnson were hired, Li Wei greeted them, and they only have the right to suggest the team's lineup, not the decision-making power.
Of course, Oakley is not a loss for Maddie, and everyone can see the talent of talented high school students. It's just that he can rob the deal of Canby, but as long as Maddie, it always tastes like picking up sesame seeds and throwing watermelon.
Dennis Johnson glanced at Li Wei and went back to calling, and the others left in a row.
Xia Cuirong waited for everyone to leave, and suddenly changed her expression and said, "Husband, can I deal with it like this?" ”
Li Wei raised his thumb and said, "President Xia, you are really amazing, you are becoming more and more president-like!" ”
"Nasty!" Xia Cuirong slapped Li Wei lightly, "I think everyone knows about us, and it's weird to look at us." ”
Li Wei said: "The private lives of the two of us have nothing to do with others, and it doesn't matter if they know about it." It's just that you, the president, have to stand up with authority, one of us sings red face, the other sings white face, and the work is easy to do. ”
"Hmm." Xia Cuirong nodded.
In the team's general manager's office, Dennis Johnson has been grinding his teeth with Grunwald.
The Knicks' first goal is, of course, to trade the No. 4 pick from the Raptors. But Grunwald feels that this year's rookie could be on a new contract that would give the home team a right of first refusal, rather than the one that already exists, and become a full free agent at the end of the contract.
With this hope, he will not trade the draft pick, because once the system is restructured, the future star selected by this pick can play for the Raptors for many years. Grunwald has his eye on a newcomer and is convinced that he can become a superstar!
Since the draft pick can't be exchanged, Dennis Johnson can only settle for the next best thing and trade Oakley for Maddie according to Xia Cuirong's request.
Grunwald was a little reluctant to do so, and former Raptors coach Darnell Walker was fired by management after the All-Star break, although he felt that Maddie was too rotten to carve. New head coach Butch Carter felt Maddie could carve it and even put him on the team in the second half.
Moreover, Maddy still has two years left on his rookie contract, unlike Marcus Camby, who will leave next year without a trade this year, and the Raptors still have time to tap his potential. Once a talented high school student hits it, he will become a superstar!
Dennis Johnson persuaded: "You don't have to look ahead, Maddie will definitely pat his ass and leave, Toronto can't keep it, Maddie can't play, it's a waste if you keep it, what's the point of keeping him for your team for an extra year?" Oakleigh is the person you really need! ”
"Wait, let's talk about it!" Glenwald Road.
Dennis Johnson is right, there is no salary cap system now, and the Raptors are poor, and it is impossible to offer a higher salary than other teams, so the Raptors management also believes that if Maddy plays, he will definitely find another career like Stoudemire and Camby.
Since they are going sooner or later, it is better to change to a veteran who shakes the field!
After some haggling, the two sides finally reached a deal, and Oakley exchanged for Maddie!
The genius high school student who could change Pippen last year is only worth one Oakley this year, this is still the Knicks who let the Raptors go, and did not deliberately rip off the bamboo, Grunwald wants Dennis Johnson favors!
Of course, the main reason for this deal to happen is that the Raptors have come to the door. If it weren't for Glenwald's crush on Oakley and the Knicks wanting to trade Maddy, the other party would definitely be able to call out an offer for Garnett's draft picks or something.
Maddie is a rookie, and the salary is completely unequal to Oakley, but it doesn't matter, the Raptors are so poor that they only have salary space left, and they can afford to eat as much as the contract.
Dennis Johnson called to inform Oakley of the trade, and shortly after, Li Wei also called.
"David, you don't need to say it, I understand, everything is business." Oakley said over there.
Li Wei's heart was sour.
When they first arrived at the Knicks, the two were very unhappy, but this year everyone has been friends, and many of what Li Wei said to reporters is not an exaggeration.
Now, for the sake of the team's future, he has traded Oakley, and although it is a good thing from the team's point of view, he can't let go.
"Charles, the Knicks are your forever home, when you don't want to be in the Raptors, you can come back at any time!"
Oakley smiled: "Haha, David, you wait for me to beat you up after I get to the Raptors, your team will never want to win in Canada!" ”
"That's impossible!"
After a few jokes, Li Weixian Oakley is more open than him, maybe this old guy who has been in the alliance for more than ten years has experienced too much of the hot and cold world!
After Dennis Johnson got the Oakley trade, he continued to call for a top-up draft pick.
The Warriors, who have the No. 5 pick, like the Raptors, have little interest in Big Z, who is about to enter a contract year, and as for Houston, the Knicks' other chip, the Warriors are even less optimistic.
They've eyed one of this year's rookie swing guards, who Warriors management believes has a much higher ceiling than Houston.
With the No. 6 pick on the Mavericks, Mad scientist Nelson Sr. was overjoyed to hear that the Knicks wanted a draft pick.
"Great, you guys can trade Garnett and Nash!"
Dennis Johnson was surprised: "Garnett's big contract, you want to take it too?" ”
Old Nelson said: "His contract is very big, but we Mavericks will suffer a little loss, who made us all old Celtics?" ”
Li Wei couldn't cry or laugh after hearing the old Nelson's offer, this old guy is really different from ordinary people, and Garnett's 100 million yuan contract dares to accept it!
But he dared to take it, but the Knicks couldn't send it, and the Mavericks' robbery was too obvious!
Nelson Sr. didn't care when he saw that the Knicks didn't agree to the deal. He has a very good seedling in this year's rookie, and if he is trained well, he will not be worse than Garnett. There's no way the Knicks can't back down without coming up with absolutely valuable chips.
"I can't sign a deal at a high level!" Li Wei sighed.
He knew that if there were less than six, it was a very dangerous order. Once Nelson Sr. drafted Nowitzki with the sixth pick, the Knicks couldn't pick it up.
Can you just give up?
Li Wei was unwilling, he still wanted to bet on luck!
Seventh pick, Kings.
The Kings agreed to trade draft picks, but if the Knicks send both Big Z and Houston at the same time, they won't trade one less!
This is obviously also a robbery, Xia Cuirong asked Dennis Johnson to tell the Kings that the Knicks will only make one chip!
Kings, Office of the President.
The president of the Kings is named Giove Petri, who served as vice president of the Trail Blazers in '92, the year the Trail Blazers reached the Finals under Adelman.
In '94, the Kings poached Petri as president. In May, Petrie fired the team's original head coach, Eddie Jordan, hired his old partner from the Trail Blazers, Rick Adelman, and also made a big deal to trade the team's star Mitch Richmond for Chris Webb!
The team is in ruins, so Petri and Adelman are busy!
"Rick, the Knicks are only willing to offer one chip in exchange for our draft pick, which is probably their bottom line." Petrie said.
Adelman said, "What's going on with Divac?" ”
Life has not been smooth since Divac was traded to the Hornets, with Hornets coach Dave Cowens preferring the tough Matt Geiger. This year, the contract of this European big man expires, and eighty percent will not stay.
Petri said: "The situation is very good, we are 70% sure that we will sign him!" ”
Adelman said: "I personally think that Big Z is the type who is at the peak of his rookie year, and he may not be better than Divac in the future, and how to renew his contract is a big question. We've traded for a forward of Webb's calibre, and if we sign Divac, we just need to use that draft pick to pick a good guard and rebuild.
If the Knicks only have one chip, there is no need to trade at all, and Houston's ceiling may not be comparable to this year's No. 7 pick, what if Carter falls to the No. 7 spot? ”
Petrie said, "Okay, then keep the picks!" ”
