Chapter 33: I Hate Cutting Meat
Chapter Thirty-Three: I Hate Cutting Meat
Is the NBA's GM an idiot?
Of course not, even if many people say that Isaiah Thomas is brainless, they are only hindsight, and many cases, according to the situation at the time, are indeed true, but later it turns out to be stupid to the end.
Let's give an example, for example, when the Hornets traded Kobe to Divac, Kobe Bryant at that time was just a "Peter Pan with good physical fitness", and Divac was an All-Star center, according to the situation at the time, the Hornets earned, but the most Lu later said, the Hornets lost and died, when on the other hand, if the Hornets refused the deal at that time, Kobe Bryant did not play in the Hornets at the time, and Divac and O'Neal formed a super twin tower, who would laugh at the Hornets for being stupid?
Chris Wallace gave Gasol away for nothing in '07, which doesn't mean he will agree to the deal anytime soon, he's still considering it, because the Hornets' asking price is too high, and the Hornets' most explicit deal plan is Guy and Li Feng and Mark Gasol as well as Conley and Jarich, and Chris Paul and Peja plus Julian Wright for the Hornets.
It seems that the Hornets are more generous, at least keeping Mayo for the Grizzlies, but this is also just to catch Peja's big contract.
If this deal is reached, the Grizzlies can still attack the championship around Paul, Mayo, and Randolph, but Peja's big contract hinders the development of the team, and Chris Wallace was able to accept Kwame Brown because the contract is about to expire, but Peja's contract he resolutely refuses.
On the Hornets side, they can rebuild around Gay, Li Feng, Collison and others, and get rid of this Peja big contract, which is equivalent to vacating nearly 20 million salary space, and West and Okafor are not Peja, they can trade a lot of young players, anyway, the Hornets have not been rotten, and they can accept this deal even if they send away the queen bee.
Of course, the most critical factor in the transaction is Li Feng, Li Feng's data is Ben Wallace-style, but it can be seen from the game that his future is definitely not limited to Ben Wallace.
Chris Wallace has a report from head coach Wallace on recent games, and Li Feng has become more and more comfortable with his interior role with the Grizzlies, moving up to a new level almost every two or three games, getting better in both offense and defense, and of course offense is about helping his teammates score.
That's the root of Wallace's lingering, exchange? The Paul+Mayo+Randolph lineup has a fatal attraction, but he has to pay nearly 30 million in luxury tax for this lineup, but if it succeeds, it seems to be very worthwhile, and the success of the Celtics Big Three and the Lakers All-Star lineup has shown the power of superstar combination.
Whether Krandolph alone can still support the sky inside the grizzly bear, no one knows. There will always be a kind of inertia in this guy, and no one can guess what he will do in the next second.
Losing Li Feng and Marc Gasol at the same time, if it can't be successful, it will be fatal to the Grizzlies, and the constraints of Randolph and Peja's two big contracts will inevitably make them unable to continue to strengthen their roster, so when Randolph's contract expires, nothing will be accomplished, and Paul will definitely choose to find another place.
Paul got the deal, paid an unprecedented price, and seemed to face the threat of losing him again, which made Wallace very uncomfortable.
Rumors of a trade began to appear in the basketball sections of many newspapers, and this may be the most valuable piece of news before the start of the NBA regular season, with many media outlets focusing on the Memphis Grizzlies.
Everyone wants to be the first to get the news about the trade, and if the Grizzlies don't pay much price, another strong team in the Southwest Division, and even, Paul + Randolph + Peja, can also be said to be the Big Three, anyone can imagine what a wonderful selling point this is. …,
Almost everyone was thinking about what kind of power this combination would wield, but no one noticed why they were so slow to make a decision about what to restore to such a good deal.
Guy and Mayo, two Grizzlies leaders frequently mentioned in the trade, have been the subject of media pursuits, with reporters taking the trouble to follow them, ready to find out if they have changed their red briefs......
Mayo can still bear it, but Guy can't, as the boss of a team, but can only be used as one of the chips in the transaction, how can Guy be happy.
Only another Li Feng, who was involved in trade rumors, was not harassed too much.
Li Feng readily accepted this, during this time he was learning more from Mason, since Mason lived in Memphis, Li Feng would definitely not let him go.
Although Mason is not a good person, he is still very concerned about Li Feng, and when he got the news that Li Feng was traded, Mason was furious.
"Those bitches raised, they don't know you at all, many people are still waiting for the regular season to see your jokes, they don't know the real strength of that insignificant Chinese in their mouths......"
"Okay, Anthony, don't worry, even if I go to New Orleans, I don't have anything to fear, isn't it just a trade, the NBA is essential."
Because Liu Qiyu often instilled, Li Feng also understood this circle thoroughly, and he knew that this was a transaction, and it had nothing to do with feelings.
In the Grizzlies office, after communicating with owner Michael Hasley, Chris Wallace and Hornets head coach Dale Demps had the most difficult negotiations.
"Dale, the last thing we ask is that we can give up OJ, give up Mark, give up Mike, give up Sam, and even give up Lee, but we're definitely going to keep Rudy, that's Michael's request, and also, we're adamant not to Peja, we're willing to eat Emeka and Posey, that's our bottom line, man, you've earned enough, how?"
Chris is about to go crazy, the boss doesn't have the same opinion as him, Wallace wants to keep Li Feng, but the boss likes Guy, is he also gay? Even he had to think so, and he had to negotiate with the Wasps.
"Man, don't get excited, let's think about it again...... Eh, each of us take a step back, we don't want Sam, you add Jarich, we're replacing Emeka with Peja, how about it? ”
"Dell, this isn't a step back, I say how about an idea, let's keep Rudy and Feng and Zach, the rest is up to you, we're willing to swallow Peja and Posey, OK?"
"No, Chris, you're a robbery, Feng is ours, without Feng there would be no deal, you have to add Feng, and you have to swallow Peja and Posey, you don't want Chris, others are still very interested, such as Houston and Dallas!"
Demps on the other end of the line was like an enraged lion, of course, this was just a means to force Chris Wallace to compromise.
"Alright, man, do you know what? When I sent Paul away, everyone said I was stupid, in fact, the price in Boston was no lower than that of changing to Garnett in the summer before, but I refused, for what, because the fuck is going to cut my flesh like you do today, Feng and Rudy stay, the rest is up to you, don't pull down! ”
"Chris, I want to ...... We still have a chance to cooperate next year! ”
Hearing the voice on the other side of the phone, Chris Wallace hung up, lit a cigar, and sat on the couch in his office smoking silently.
