Chapter 226: Li Kaiming's Transaction Value

Glenfield is the current president of basketball for the Washington Wizards, a position that is the owner's team manager and helps the owner manage everything on the team.

He was also the decision-maker of the Wizards' original signing of Arenas, and he was also the one who selected Li Kaiming in the draft, and he thought that as long as he found enough helpers for Arenas, the latter would play with peace of mind, but what he didn't expect was that the two cores he selected inside and outside actually pinched up without even finishing a regular season......

So when Ernie Grenfield received a call from Heat president Pat Riley, he knew Riley had to do something.

Pat Riley, known as the "God Operator", was known for his crazy defensive strategy when he was a coach, and after becoming the president of the Heat, the Heat still implemented his iron-blooded style, not only with great training intensity, but also with high requirements for players.

This offseason, Pat Riley also formed the Big Three of the Heat that everyone in the league talked about, and the team lineup was already a little beyond people's imagination, but now it seems that he still wants to beat Li Kaiming's idea.

Grunfield laughed dryly, "Pat, you guys have a lot of ambitions?" The Big Three are not satisfied, and they still want to beat our champions, and besides, what chips can you have? Could it be that if I win the championship, I will be able to share half of the championship trophy? ”

On the other side of the phone, Pat Riley leaned back in his chair, changed into the most comfortable position, and then crossed Erlang's legs, "Ernie, I just think this guy is very much in line with my appetite, if he can come to the Heat, he is definitely the kind of player I want to coach, leaving him in the hands of Sanders, it seems a bit of a tyrannical thing to me......"

Glenfield scolded with a smile after hearing this, "You old guy, you're so polite, Philip is the coach of our Wizards, isn't it inappropriate for you to speak ill of him in front of me?" ”

"Tell you the truth, by the way, where did you just go? Oh yes, as for your non-bargaining chips, in my opinion that's not a problem, the road is dead and the person is alive, as long as you nod over there, I will definitely give you a satisfactory answer. ”

Glenfield showed a meaningful smile, "Then do I want LeBron James you to give?" ”

Riley on the other end of the phone was silent for a while, and then suddenly smiled and said, "Ernie, don't be kidding, LeBron's contract doesn't match Li Kaiming at all, if you want him, you have to bundle Gilbert and Li Kaiming together, I just think Li Kaiming is very good, what do I want another thorn for?" ”

Hearing that Riley was really seriously considering his proposal, Grunfield was dumbfounded!

You must know that although this Xia James has become a public enemy in the eyes of many fans because of the transfer of the group, but his strength is indeed the top in the league, and his playing style is extremely violent.

With such a player whose strength and influence are among the best in the league, Riley really seriously thinks about the possibility of replacing Li Kaiming.

Originally, Glenfield thought that Riley would let him stop joking, but in fact he knew in his heart that he was joking!

Riley's vision is notoriously picky, and at present, in Riley's eyes, Li Kaiming's prospects may be no less than LeBron James?

Grenfield didn't dare to think about it, and if he continued to think about it, he was afraid that his imagination would not be able to hold back, so after sending Riley away, he immediately sent a text message to Tommy Shepard, the vice president of the team, to simplify what had just happened......

And Shepard's response made him feel a little surprised, it turned out that just after the news of the two Wizards infighting, the general managers of about five teams had contacted Shepard, hoping to discuss the possibility of trading for Li Kaiming......

Many of these teams are well-known tank teams in the league, and they lack nothing or draft picks, and the chips they take out make Shepard, who has been in the league team management for many years, feel moved!

After hearing Shepard's reply, Glenfield sat in a leather chair in his office and fell into deep thought, he wanted to see again, and it would be better to solve this conflict within the team, so that everyone could be happy.

Arenas was played under his hands, and Li Kaiming is the future star he has selected for the team, and he doesn't want to give up on either side easily.

But the current strong interest in Li Kaiming shown by other teams made him realize that he may have underestimated Li Kaiming before.

So far, counting the Heat, there have been six teams coming to ask for the price, plus some who are still waiting to see the situation, Glenfield estimates that if the Wizards are going to trade Li Kaiming, then at least two-thirds of the teams in the league will join the race.

It could even be all the teams.

With Li Kaiming's current strength, the United Sisters, who average 30 points per game, only get a salary of less than 6 million, no matter how you look at it, it is a super cost-effective contract, and if you can trade Li Kaiming, the team that gets him will also get the latter's bird rights, so that after the rookie contract ends, the parent team can offer a maximum salary of about 10% higher than that in the free market, and the excess part will not trigger the salary cap!

Yes, the current Li Kaiming is the lowest-paid and high-energy player in the league, and he has very broad prospects.

This situation made Grunfield also entangled, originally he planned to keep both of them, but at present, it seems that Li Kaiming's value in the trading market is ridiculously high, plus the contract cost performance of this black worker, so it is absolutely impossible for the team to trade Li Kaiming!

Unless he leaves the office today with his brain caught in the door!

If you don't trade Li Kaiming, then there are only two options, one is to trade Arenas, and the other is to keep both of them on the team.

Glenfield decided to challenge the impossible and try to reunite Li Kaiming and Arenas......

What happens in the president's office is hidden behind the scenes for the general public, and fans can only see what is happening on the pitch and media coverage before and after the game.

As the clock ticked down and the long halftime period passed, the MCI Center fans used the time to drain the liquids from their tanks and return to their seats.

On the court, the game started again, and the Cavaliers served in the third quarter, and the two sides still started the game.

Mo Williams dribbled to the frontcourt and called JJ Hickson to come out to cover, Li Kaiming followed, his current outside defense is the lowest of all attributes, and the outside defensive badge is also a bronze level, so he still has to pay attention to the guards of other teams.

JJ Hickson jammed Hinrich's position, and Williams went around Hinrich, dribbled into the three-point line, and met Li Kaiming, who came over to change the defense.

Mo Williams slapped the ball twice, and then suddenly a large change of direction flashed from Li Kaiming's side!

Li Kaiming's brain kept up, but his body could not give a timely response, and he was still broken through by Mo Williams, leading by one position.

Thankfully, his burst speed in a straight line is strong enough to keep up with Morella Williams after losing his frontal defensive position, and then be ready to jump for a block.

Blatche, who was squatting inside to protect the basket, saw that Mo Williams was close to the basket, and immediately greeted him, his defensive selection was still relatively good, and he did not give Williams space to pass directly to Vallejo.

In this narrow interior line, Mo Williams faced two long rao chasing interceptions and chose to give the ball to JJ Hickson, who followed the free throw line.

At this time, Hickson was not facing Li Kaiming, he immediately came to confidence, dribbled and arched Bradge twice, and after pushing more than a meter inside, he jumped and threw directly!

Two-point goal! 65 to 55!
