The boss of the Warriors is Byron Davis, and all other players can be traded.

Jordan hopes to trade Yi Jianlian for Stephen Jackson, Al Harrington, Monta Ellis, and Jason Richardson, but they have already sent some trade exceptions to the Suns, so if the trade is successful, they can only send Adam Morrison again.

Hayes disagreed with Jordan's trade plan and came up with a plan that Jordan found a little odd.

Trade Yi Jianlian and center Jack Voscur and forward Oteye Harrington for Warriors centers Andris Biedrins, Michael Petrus, and the No. 1 draft pick next season without top-three protection!

There isn't a single big-name star on this list, but when it was handed over to the Warriors, Warriors manager Larry Riley's brow immediately furrowed. The Warriors have a lot of big-name players, and the person they most want to send away is Richardson, who will have a salary of 11.1 million next season, but the Bobcats are not uncommon.

If these two low-paid and high-performance role players are traded out of the team, the Warriors will not have the funds to sign any more players after next season. Yi Jianlian is here, Thaddeus Young must also be signed, and Matt Barnes' contract has also expired and needs to be renewed. Although the Bobcats' trade plan did not involve the stars on the team, it was the most uncomfortable for them. Not only did they not get a trade exception, but they also had to accept two other players from the other side in order to get Yi Jianlian, Jack Wascool and Altai Harrington were so bad that the trade was simply a garbage contract and could not give the team any help.

Let's look at the Warriors' two trade players.

Biedlins is the Warriors' starting center, with a two-year contract expiring, a salary of only 2.64 million next season, and played 29 minutes last season, averaging 9.5 points, 9.3 rebounds and 1.7 blocks per game, which is not inferior to David Lee.

On top of that, Biedrins is not a typical centre-forward. He was thin but not weak, strong and powerful, dexterous and swift. He is even more unusual than Ammar Stoudemire, and although he is 2.11 meters tall, his ability to cut in, run and so on is not inferior to that of a striker. Aside from Studamayre, he is the best center in the league right now.

Another player, Petrus, who has the title of "French Jordan", can play both small forward and shooting guard, and is the best sixth man for the Warriors. Last season, he played 22 minutes, had 9.2 points and 4.1 rebounds, shooting 48 percent from the field and 37 percent from three-point range. His traits are equally suitable for running and shooting. Moreover, Petrus has a strong individual defensive ability, strong upper body strength and good follow-up speed, combined with high-quality defensive awareness, making him one of the best defenders in the forward position. His salary is also only 3.47 million.

These two are the lowest-paid and highest-paid players on the Warriors.

Larry Riley immediately called Bobcats general manager Rod Higgins and offered to trade Harrington for Adam Morrison, and the draft picks must be top-three protected.

Rod Higgins laughed, "Are you an idiot when we are?" Trade last season's No. 3 pick and Yi Jianlian for two of your role players, plus a very late draft pick. With the current roster of the Warriors, can't they make the playoffs? If you don't feel good, forget it. You are not interested in the Chinese market behind him, I have nothing to say, but you want Yi Jianlian and want to rob Morrison, which we focus on cultivating, this is too whimsical! There are too many people who want Yi Jianlian, the 76ers, the Suns, and the Bucks are all waiting! In fact, we ourselves want to keep him, even if there is no Chinese market, he may become the next Garnett, Bosh! ”

The bobcat held Yi Jianlian very high.

At the same time, Yi Jianlian's agent Fagan is also constantly introducing the benefits of Yi Jianlian to the Warriors boss. In the end, the Warriors agreed to a trade. Although Biedrins and Petrus are strong, their contracts are about to expire next season, and if they want to keep them, they will definitely need a big contract, and it doesn't hurt to give them to the Bobcats. The only thing that is unpleasant is that he has to accept two garbage contracts with the Bobcats, which are thankfully due to expire next season.

Jordan flew to Los Angeles with manager Rod Higgins to publicly go to Hollywood to watch Hayes train, and Johnson and Jordan directed Hayes together, arguably two of the biggest assistant coaches in the world. Hayes's whereabouts suddenly became confusing.

While Hayes was training, Rod Higgins was chatting with Gao Tongxuan on the side to discuss the contract. By the time Hayes had finished all of the day's projects, they had already negotiated them.

"Chuck, 73 million for 5 years, are you satisfied with this contract?" Gao Tongxuan said with a smile.

According to the '05 collective bargaining agreement, the first year of the maximum salary is 30% of the "maximum salary cap" (slightly smaller than the actual salary cap) (7 years and above) and 25% (under 7 years). So Lewis can have a starting salary of 15.7 million, but Hai Ye can only pay 13.1 million.

Players with Bird's Rights (who have played for the same team for three consecutive years, or whose last contract period is not less than three years) can sign a new contract with the team with an annual salary increase of up to 10% and a maximum of six years, otherwise the new contract can increase by up to 8% annual salary for a maximum of five years. Hayes is only two years old and can only sign a free agent for a maximum of five years, which is already a very lucrative contract. Yao Ming, who is the champion, signed a contract with the Rockets for only 76 million for 5 years.

Hayes wiped his sweat, drank some water, and smiled, "Yes." How's the trade with the Warriors, Rhodus? ”

"It's done, and Coach D'Antoni likes to come too. Because we didn't sign with Yi Jianlian in advance, the Warriors are also very happy. I've always had questions about this deal, though. The two are good players, but their contracts are due to expire next summer. It is also very difficult to renew the contract, and it is a pity that we let Yi Jianlian go like this. Rod Higgins said.

Jordan, who had been active for a while, gasped for breath and said: "Chuck, it's good to send away two useless players, but Yi Jianlian may be able to change to an All-Star, why do you only change role players?" ”

Hayes explained unhurriedly: "The Warriors do have a lot of big names, but even if they are willing to send Davis, we can't change them, because the Warriors' star names are very low and will take up our salary space." Biedrins and Petrus are two players who remain in the team and will be able to play immediately this year. And without Yi Jianlian, the two of them can also be used as advantageous bargaining chips! The Warriors don't have the stars we need, so keep the salaries under control! Rest assured, everything is under my control. What's more, there are a lot of good players in next year's draft, and we have three first-round picks in our hands, so we have a lot to do. One more thing, I've calculated the Warriors' salary, Rod, you're sending someone to contact Matt Barnes, who is due for the Warriors this year. In order to sign Yi Jianlian, they have no ability to renew Barnes' contract. Barnes is familiar with run-and-gun tactics, although the offense is average, but the defensive ability is also very strong, and he plays hard, so I suggest that he be given a long-term contract. The annual salary is about 2 million. ”

"Using Biedrins and Petrus as mid-season trading chips? You've calculated their salaries to dig Barnes, how did you come up with that? God, you really deserve to be a manager. Not only are we sending two useless players now, but we're also in a good position to trade them in the future! Rod Higgins sighed.

Jordan punched Hayes in the arm and said, "That's a really good player." Boy, you're thinking so far ahead! ”

Matt Barnes, a value player. Played 23 minutes last season, with 9.4 points, 4.4 rebounds and 2.1 assists, as a swing man who bombarded the ball, the position of Barnes, who is 201cm tall, is also relatively vague, and he can play from the No. 2 position to the No. 4 position.

Hayes suggested bringing in a lot of rookies and great role players, but was in no hurry to ask the Bobcats to trade the superstar. He is betting on the future, even if he can't play well this season, after developing this group of potential players, next season, the Bobcats will definitely become a strong team. Zhu Yuanzhang said well, if you want to establish a dynasty, you must build a high wall, accumulate grain, and slowly become the king!

"Michael, after the deal with the Warriors was reached, he immediately announced that I had signed with the Bobcats, as well as the addition of D'Antoni and Van Gundy! At this point, there is no need to hide anything. "We're going to get two more free agents and make two trades," Hayes said. ”

Rod Higgins didn't have any doubts and said, "You say, we can do whatever we want." ”

Gao Tongxuan sat next to her, her eyes never left Hayes, she also figured out the value of Hayes's transaction, and liked Hayes more and more, this man is too powerful.

Jordan and Johnson were also on the sidelines listening to Hayes.

"Free Grant Hill, he should be willing to pay a low salary to join a team with a championship appearance, and announcing the roster we put together might attract him over."

"But Hill keeps getting hurt, is that okay?" Jordan asked.

"Run-and-gun play probably reduces the chance of injury to players, and the Suns have been injury-free, and of course it may have something to do with their team doctor," Hayes said. We are short of experienced veterans and Hill is a good choice. The other guy is Polish center Gortat, who is in the Anaheim Arsenal in the Development League, and I've seen him play, so bring him for a tryout! Then decide what kind of contract to give. ”

Rod Higgins wrote down both of these things.

"What are the two deals?" Jordan laughed.

"The first one is more troublesome, contacting the SuperSonics and the Bucks for a three-way deal. Without Ray Allen, the SuperSonics are already weak on the perimeter. We sent Morrison and the pick-up Knight in exchange for an unprotected first-round pick for the SuperSonics and Raymond Sessions, a second-round pick of the Bucks' 56th round. As for what else they want to trade, it doesn't matter. As long as you can get this one person. ”

Rod wrote it down again.

Hayes added: "The second trade is not yet in time, after the summer league, trade Brooks and Primoz Blazek with the Raptors for Spanish point guard Calderon, who has a strong assist ability and can play and run!" Hayes said. The Raptors have no one on the inside, just one Nestrovich, and Brooks' style is a lot like TJ Ford, and they'll love it.

As long as these deals are made, the Bobcats will all be purged last season, except for the injured Shaun May, Okafor, Gerald Wallace, and Felton! Coaches, managers, bosses come together to support Hayes. Who in the team would dare to get along with him?

"Elvis" Hayes is ready to ascend the throne!
