"Bryant announced today that he will retire next season, and his No. 24 jersey will definitely be retired as well, and this is an opportunity for several sponsors who are interested in signing with us." Duffy explained.

"Another sponsor has come to your door?" Tang Shuai sneered and said, after he was sent to the NBDL, the sponsors who were originally interested in it were all gone, and as soon as he performed well this time, he came to the door again, and it was really a businessman.

"Those who do business, of course, look at the market, which is also a reasonable thing." Duffy said with a smile.

Tang Shuai waved his hand, Duffy was right, but he didn't want to get in touch with this kind of thing too much, so he said: "Let's not talk about this first, Sam called me to the office today and asked me who is the starting small forward, do you have any opinions?" ”

"Sam asked you about this?" Duffy looked surprised.

Tang Shuai nodded, repeated what Cassel told him, and finally said uncertainly: "In the end, he asked me if Josh was suitable for starting, probably because he thought I had a better relationship with Josh." ”

Duffy smiled and shook his head: "It seems that this new coach of yours values you very much." ”

"Huh?" Tang Shuai looked at Duffy suspiciously.

"Doesn't Lance have a good relationship with Josh? It doesn't matter if the relationship is good or not, he just simply included you in the team's future planning, maybe CP3 and Blake, they should have been called to ask. Duffy explained.

After listening to what Duffy said, Tang Shuai immediately understood, and when he thought about it, he still thought that what Kassel said about the relationship was a bit weird. So that's what happened.

He then said: "Then tell me, who will the Clippers let go?" ”

Although not wanting to interfere in the management of the team. But if you can really give some good advice, it will help the team to achieve more wins. That's not a bad thing.

"No one is suitable, Sam is right, you are right, neither is suitable." Duffy said bluntly.

"Well, it looks like that's a real nuisance, let Sam bother himself." Tang Shuai heard that Duffy didn't have any good advice, so he gave up.

"It's not troublesome, just trade this matter personally." Duffy followed.

"Deal?" Tang Shuai thought for a moment and said with a wry smile. "Who can the Clippers trade?"

"Not necessarily." Speaking of this, Duffy suddenly became interested, although he was just an agent, but from his usual actions, it could be seen that what he could do was not limited to the agent's things.

"Not necessarily?" Tang Shuai looked at Duffy suspiciously, then shook his head and said, "The defensive players in the league who can be put on the table are not for sale of various teams, Ariza of the Rockets, Tony of the Grizzlies. Allen, Spurs' Danny. Green, Andreas Iguodala of the Warriors, Shambaugh of the Cavaliers, Butler of the Bulls. I'll give a few random examples, these strong teams will definitely not trade, the weaker Hornets McGegie and the Celtics' Bradley, which one is likely to trade? ”

Duffy smiled but didn't say anything.

"You said the substitutes. There is no ability to stand out, and the key is to fit the needs of the Clippers, who can defend and shoot three-pointers. And it has to be traded at a low value, otherwise it's all meat in someone else's bowl. Even if you want to, you can only watch. ”

Tang Shuai said helplessly. Although Duffy looked calm, he really couldn't think of such a suitable player, otherwise they wouldn't have waited for them to discuss here, and the management of the Clippers would have already started.

"Corey. Brewer. Duffy said lightly.

"Cory......" Tang Shuai was stunned for a moment, and then his eyes suddenly lit up.

That's right! Corey. Brewer!

How did this plug-and-play player forget about him!

Speaking of Brewer, Tang Shuai is not too unfamiliar with him, this is a typical homeless player, he has changed 5 teams in 8 years, and has been bought out by the Knicks, with an annual salary of never more than 10 million, and the contract signed with the Rockets this offseason with an annual salary of 800w is already the highest in his career, which is still considering the premise that the salary cap will rise sharply next year.

However, this is a typical functional player, who once had a 51-point performance in a single game, and has a good three-point shooting ability and fast break ability, and his defense is also excellent among small forwards.

And the most important thing is that Brewer's current performance in the Rockets is indescribable with two words, three percent of two-point shots, two percent of three-point shooting percentage, and an average of 6 points per game, such data does not match his contract at all, and the Rockets did not move his idea of trading, and I am afraid that they really can't find a home.

"You should have thought of it too, right?" Seeing Tang Shuai thoughtfully, Duffy continued, "Brewer is a typical contract year player, and the Rockets gave him a big contract, so he naturally didn't want to play. ”

Tang Shuai smiled bitterly and nodded, when the Rockets traded from the Timberwolves to Brewer, they had just signed a contract.

"And there's one thing you may not know, because of the excellent performance last season, several teams have made offers to Brewer's agent this offseason, and none of them are lower than the Rockets' offer, but in the end it was Brewer himself who asked for a contract extension with the Rockets, you know why not?"

"This should be easy to understand, after being a homeless man for so many years, it is hard to have a stable place to play." Tang Shuai followed.

"No, no......" As soon as he finished speaking, Duffy waved his hand directly and said, "You don't pay attention to Brewer's age, he is neither the kind of young player who needs to play hard to earn a bigger contract, nor the kind of player who needs to find a place to play comfortably at the end of his career, he is 30 years old this year, according to the rules of the NBA, it is the peak of his play, at this age, the average player will normally give priority to the team with a large contract, after all, this is likely to be the last big contract they got in their career." ”

After listening to what Duffy said, Tang Shuai nodded thoughtfully, age, he really didn't expect this.

He then looked up and asked, "Then what is the reason for Brewer's contract to renew the Rockets?" ”

"McHale." Duffy said with a smile, "Brewer was a rookie in 2007, and the general manager of the Timberwolves that year was McHale, and Brewer was selected with a high pick, the seventh pick, with his body, he could be selected with such a high pick, he has no reason not to thank McHale, and in this year of the Rockets, McHale also took good care of him, and the contract year gave him enough playing time." ”

"But McHale is now fired." Tang Shuai continued, Duffy is still the same Duffy, when he does anything, he always thinks about things. (To be continued.) )
