By the time the European Championships finally ushered in the final round of the group stage of the life-or-death trial, Jiang Qi was already in Atalanta, and the coaching staff and management were already making final preparations for the draft in a few days.

The number of people in the conference room has decreased a lot compared to the last time, Geddes did not participate, Teresa grinded him to listen on the grounds that Lao Jiang's gift was not sincere enough, and someone had no choice but to agree, because he flew directly from Portugal to Millican, and the gift he brought was the mascot of this European Cup, and it was normal that he did not block the appetite of the eldest lady in a hurry.

In addition, Billy Knight is naturally on the list as the team's general manager, as well as the team's new head coach Tom Thibodeau, and the Hawks' original assistant coaching staff, the two most famous of which are the Eagles' legend, Dominic Wilkins, known as the "essence of human movies", and Alex Inglish, one of the league's best scorers who was inducted into the Hall of Fame.

Thibodeau carried a thick notebook, which was densely packed with most of the contents, which made Jiang Qi, who was also the head coach, feel like a confidant...... Use your work attitude to win the recognition of others, and in this regard, Thibodeau is the same kind of person as him.

Coughing lightly twice, Jiang Qi, who was promoted from rookie coach to rookie director, took the lead in asking Thibodeau: "Tom, you should have a general understanding of the situation of the Eagles these days, which players do you want to keep in the team?" ”

The issue of personnel adjustment was thrown over first, on the one hand, I wanted to hear Thibodeau's idea of building the team, and on the other hand, it was also Lao Jiang's respect for the new coach.

The Hawks need to completely rebuild this season, and that path is unchangeable, as Atlanta have 10 players on the league's free agent roster this summer, seven of whom are fully unrestricted, three or two are restricted, and one has a player option that can jump out of his contract at any time to test the waters...... Well, in fact, in Jiang Qi's opinion, it is simply a green light for his rebuilding plan, but fortunately, the "jet" Jason Terry, who has the player's value trade, still has a contract, otherwise someone would not see it that way.

Uncle Tom quickly flipped to a page of his notebook, clearly prepared, "Joel Purzbilla is a good interior blue-collar worker, and I suggest giving him a contract to keep him on the team." ”

Lao Jiang nodded, Purzbila played with enough focus and hard work, as a blue-collar worker is quite qualified, and the renewal salary is not high, the surname price is better, in his rebuilding plan, the big white bear is the only player who stayed in the team last season.

"Stephen Jackson and Jason Terry, to be honest, these two players I would also like to see them stay, Stephen is very well-rounded, both offensively and defensively, but when I talk to him, Stephen has already said he wants to leave, he has a player option, he can jump out of his contract, and there is a hidden danger in barely staying with his last name...... Terry himself is a little tired of Atalanta because of the team's long-term poor results, and I am afraid it will be difficult to keep it. ”

Captain Jack was a good player, he was actually very simple and not as unapproachable as rumored, and both Vicky and Duncan praised him, even though he was the loudest bag of gunpowder to blow up at Auburn Hills Palace.

For players who enter the arena of the NBA, no matter what they come from, fame, money, beauty or others, there are only two words on the basis - victory!

A long losing game can make players tired of the team and want to leave. Terry spent his rookie years in Atlanta, while Stephen Jackson was more of a part-time classmate, but Captain Jack was equally hungry for victory, so it made sense for the two men.

Jiang Qi nodded, turned his head and looked at Billy Knight again, "Is there a trade request?" ”

"The Mavericks want to trade Anthony Walker for Jason and Allan." , Uncle Billy replied succinctly.

Alan Henderson is a big forward for the Hawks, and his ability has been seriously degraded, but he has the last year left on his 7-year 45 million contract, and he can free up salary space, and he obviously has a good transaction value as a partner, but the fat head is really lazy, and the rookie director asked Thibodeau's opinion with his eyes, and sure enough, he saw Uncle Tom shaking his head gently.

"Is there anyone else you want to stay?" , Jiang Qi vetoed the Maverick's trading plan and continued to ask.

Thibodeau groaned slightly, "Bob Sula is not a bad player, last season if I were to arrange the lineup, Bob Sula was more suitable to be in the starting lineup, his physical condition is better than Jason Terry, he will be better on the defensive end, Jason is more suitable to play as the sixth man to steal points." ”

Lao Jiang was noncommittal about this, Sula's ability to connect the team as a point guard is average, and he plays very hard, which is indeed very popular with the head coach, but the resulting injury has also ruined his career, presumably Thibodeau is also worried about this, so he did not give an opinion on whether to stay in the team, but only expressed a slight inclination.

“ok！” The rookie director began to make a decision, "Going through the formalities of Joel Pulzbilla, try to sign for more than 3 years." ”

He then looked at the team's draft roster and rookie roster that the team had prepared, and the Atlanta Hawks got a total of four picks, the No. 6 pick in the first round, the No. 17 pick in the first round, and the No. 34 and No. 37 spots in the second round.

"The first-round picks are a bit ......", he frowned slightly, the quality of this year's rookies is not bad, although only Howard later grew into a real superstar, but many players are selected to be the team's second and third leaders are quite suitable, and there are many practical role players, on average, it is still higher than the next two years.

"So, seek to trade to a first-round signing ......", Lao Jiang quickly calculated the chips in his hand and the teams on the signing table, trying to recall the final choice made by these teams, and suddenly his eyes lit up.

The rookie director took out his mobile phone and asked Uncle Billy while rummaging through the phone book, "Portland has been looking for a suitable point guard lately?" ”

"It seems to be ......", Billy Knight is not sure, after all, before the draft, every team will become more and more low-key even if they are seeking a trade, so as not to expose their goals and tendencies prematurely, and other teams will have the initiative in the trade.

Jiang Qi nodded, had already dialed a number, and turned on the speaker of the phone.

"Hello! Are you Chiang? The signal was on, and Jiang Qi's identity was quickly reflected over there.

"It's me! Hello Mr. Allen! ”

"Hey! It's nice to hear from you, to hear Geddes say that he's already handed over the team to you to take care of? ”

"Hmm...... I'm crossing the river by feeling the stones. The rookie director rubbed his nose, "I have a player trade here that I would like to discuss with the Trail Blazers." ”

Paul Allen over there was obviously intrigued by Jiang Qi's straightforward words, "Oh, you wait, I'll let John come over!" ”
