Chapter 44: The Nets Again?
,
"Mr. Glenn, can you tell me what this thing is," Zhuang Fei took a contract agreement and angrily patted the table in front of him and said to Timberwolves owner Glenn Taylor.
"Zhuang, don't be angry first, no one will know about this, what we are doing is very hidden, and in this way, we can not only strengthen our strength but also don't have to think about the salary cap, why not" Glenn Taylor saw Zhuang Fei's angry look a little disapproving. What's the big deal, even if it is discovered, it is just a loophole in the alliance. Reasonable use rules.
This contract is about the 76ers inside line Joe Smith, because Garnett accounts for a lot of the team's salary cap from next season, and the team's current core players are unwilling to renew the contract, so it is unlikely that the Timberwolves want to sign a powerful big fish from the zìyóu market, and there is too little room for the salary cap, but such a problem did not stump the Timberwolves' owner Glenn Taylor, he came up with a yīn trick, that is, a yīn yang contract, as an interior line who can score 14 points per game, Is the annual salary worth 1 million? Zhuang Fei didn't believe it, and when Zhuang Fei sorted out the team's internal affairs documents, he was quite unhappy to see this agreement.
This is just an agreement, the two sides have not signed yet, this agreement was also signed before Zhuang Fei became the owner, to the effect that Joe Smith first joined the Timberwolves as a zìyóu player, with a contract of 2 years and a salary of 1.75 million US dollars, and after 2 years, the Timberwolves are willing to renew his contract with him for 7 years with a maximum salary of 86 million. It's unthinkable for a former All-Star-caliber player, and it's a violation. If you let the alliance know, you will definitely be punished. As the champion in 1995, this is simply an insulting contract, and it is no wonder that there is no problem.
"Mr. Glenn, I hope this incident has never happened, and I have never seen this agreement, and I don't want Joe Smith to appear in my team, and Joe Smith is not the player I need, so Mr. Glenn, you and the other agent named Fagan in the agreement should deal with this matter privately" Zhuang Fei sighed and said, he was dissatisfied with Fagan's agent at the same time, what is this not ruining the player? There are still such garbage people in the Alliance.
"Zhuang, you don't have to worry so much at all, actually"
"Mr. Glenn, it's not a matter of worrying or not, I want my team to be clean in every way, I have a habit of cleanliness" Before Glenn Taylor could finish speaking, Zhuang Fei interrupted. Although he doesn't know about the NBA, there is a dark side of yīn everywhere, and every year there will be brain-dead things in the NBA, and it is inevitable that there will be no problems in this, but Zhuang Fei hopes that his team will have no problems.
In the end, Glenn Taylor also reluctantly did what Zhuang Fei wanted, the longer he contacted Glenn Taylor, the more he felt that Glenn Taylor was like a villain, not that his character was bad, but that his behavior was a bit "villain", he liked to speculate, like to play clever, and was very profitable. And it's a bit of a rush for quick success.
Zhuang Fei has only been here for less than a week, and he feels speechless about the up and down of this timberwolves, which is more complicated and chaotic than the Knicks
"Mr. Danny, are you looking for me, is there something wrong" Steve Nash wondered, now that the team has long been on vacation, why would head coach Danny Ange still come to him, is it to talk about a contract extension? Nash thought to himself. At the same time, I am full of expectations for today's meeting.
"Steve, I'm letting you know that you won't be on Phoenix's roster next season, and although I can call you as well, I think it's better to make it clear to you in person."
Danny Angie looked at the stunned Nash and shook his head a little sympathetically.
He has been with Nash for two years, in the 1996 draft he was introduced as the successor of Kevin Johnson, Nash is fast, the ball breakthrough is beautiful, the shooting is also accurate, the pass is also in place, although the defense is terrible, the physical fitness is not good, but the Suns can sign him with the No. 15 pick also shows that he is very optimistic about his prospects, but unfortunately, the team does not need him at all, because the team currently has a much better than him The league's top point guard, Jason Kidd.
As a backup point guard who can contribute 9.1 points per game, his position is very embarrassing, if the data is better, there will definitely be other teams to grab people, and the Suns can also knock a stroke from it, but such a data is really not excellent, and it is not very eye-catching, if his data is worse, Danny Ainge does not mind renewing his contract at a low price, but such a data that is not up or down makes it difficult for the team to do, shoot, afraid of losing, stay, afraid of high salary, not worth it. This caused Nash's embarrassment now. Because the Suns are also hesitating whether to renew Nash's contract.
But it's good, finally someone is willing to take on such a player, and the Suns management doesn't have to worry about Nash's contract extension, and the chips for this person are not bad, and Danny Ainge is also a little more relieved.
"Steve, don't think too much, I'm very optimistic about your strength, you have the ability to find room for development in other teams, but the current Suns are really not suitable for your development, Jason is too good, and we don't need you much now, so a change of environment is good for both parties"
Nash left the team's head coach's office and returned home in embarrassment, but in the end he did not escape the fate of being purged.
"Go to the Timberwolves, as if their head coach is that Chinese, maybe like Coach Danny said, my career will turn around," Nash muttered
"Are the Suns willing to trade? Great."
After receiving the good news from D'Antoni, Zhuang Fei almost jumped up from his chair, which was the best news he had received in recent times, and it also soothed Zhuang Fei, who had been in the haze of yīn, a little.
The final offer between the Suns and the Timberwolves was for the Timberwolves to trade Cherokee Parkes on the inside and Steve Nash on the Suns on the outside, with no other terms or draft picks attached.
"Zhuang, what's so exciting" As soon as McHale entered Zhuang Fei's office, he saw Zhuang Fei jumping around excitedly in the office, and laughed twice from time to time, which surprised McHale, since Zhuang Fei entered the Timberwolves, he has hardly seen Zhuang Fei so happy, and he has always kept a tight face. This also made him always think that Zhuang Fei was an iron-masked coach, could it be that Zhuang Fei turned xìng today?
"Haha, it's nothing, it's just that Mike made that deal" Zhuang Fei calmed down a little and said to McHale.
"It's the backup point guard of the Suns" McHale shook his head, this person is really weird, don't let Kassel go, want that rookie off the bench, it's really a strange style. But let's hope he can lead the Timberwolves to the forefront.
"By the way, Kevin, looking at your appearance, there should be progress" Zhuang Fei looked at McHale, and saw that he nodded and confirmed this idea, and then Zhuang Fei asked expectantly: "Which team is willing to take over?" ”
"It's still the Nets" After McHale finished speaking, Zhuang Fei frowned, why is it the Nets again?
