Super Basketball Manager

Chapter 45
The first information in front of me is the dark horse of the 09-10 season, the Memphis Grizzlies.

They replaced the original Texas Delta, the position of the Houston Rockets that declined this season, and formed a more iron-blooded Devil Trident with the Spurs and Mavericks, making every team that visits Texas lose a layer of skin.

In the summer of 09, the Grizzlies handed over a big contract to one of the few stars in the free market, Zach Randolph.

Of course, just having two bears in the Beast Corps is not enough to challenge the veteran team. The key is Mike Conley, the third-year student. Under the background of the old schoolmate Oden Great's career reimbursement, he is in full swing. His low-key style and calm personality are enough to rank among the top point guards.

The one who really hurts people is of course the boss of the Grizzlies, Rudy Gay, who was almost married to the Rockets. After a season of training, this kid has become one of the best scorers in the league. With pull-ups, jumps, blocks, and steals, Da Yuaner looks a bit like McGrady...

The last one is the target of Ron's trade, OJ Mayo...

Counting the Grizzlies, there are a total of three players with the ability to average 20+ per game, but the Memphis people did not hire D'Antoni.

Hollins, this guy is famous for his defense. Mayo's defense that was criticized in his rookie season made him lose the trust of the coach long ago.

He even preferred to keep old Mike Miller on the floor in the fourth quarter.

Of course, even so, Mayo still maintains an efficient scoring ability (40% three-pointers, averaging 14 per game, playing only 8 minutes per game)

Of course, Ron knew what Wallace, the general manager of the Grizzlies' Beast Corps, was thinking. He wanted Tony Allen. If Battier could guard any small forward in the league, then Tony Allen could guard any guard.

It's just that he doesn't dare to replace a rising star with a middle-aged rotation player with mediocre talent. The Boston Celtics are of course happy to let him go, but they are unwilling to add other bargaining chips, such as cash, such as draft picks.

If he wants to win Mayo easily, he must first get Tony Allen, but besides losing money, Ron has no matching players at all.

Even if he gritted his teeth and took Tony Allen, Ron would also have to add some other bargaining chips when he traded Mayo with the Grizzlies.

The gain outweighs the loss, not to mention the team's finances do not allow him to do so.

So what about Battier?Will they be interested in the head player of the old Grizzlies?He has at least one more offensive weapon than Tony Allen -- 3 points.

But Battier's salary this season has reached more than 800 million, and the Grizzlies will not have more money to keep Mike Conley next year.

no hope at all...

Seeing that the game against the Nuggets is close at hand, Ron's goal is quite clear at this time.

My boss needs a cash flow, my team needs a blockbuster star...

Inadvertently, Ron clicked on the official website of the Grizzlies. It was an old picture. Back then, the Rockets traded No. 8 pick Rudy Gay for Grizz Battier. Rudy Gay happily appeared at the press conference. In the corner of the old picture, behind Gay was an old man with a star-studded appearance, with a frowning expression.

Frowning expresses satisfaction on the one hand, but also some fly in the ointment on the other.

Sometimes negotiating, just a look is enough.

After thinking about it again and again, Ron suddenly dialed the phone in front of him in joy.

"Hello? Morey? Long time no see, kid, what's your business!"

Ron couldn't laugh or cry: "Hi, Mr. Wallace, this is the Houston Rockets manager's office, my name is Ron..."

"Ron? I'm sorry, where is Morey? Doesn't he even understand the most basic rules?" The man on the other end of the phone was very arrogant.

Everyone knows that the Grizzlies have changed their past mistakes this season, from a sick bear to a mad bear who gnaws at everyone. Not only has it become a strong team in the Western Conference, but it is also impressive in terms of salary structure.

This guy has bullish capital, he is likely to be named the best manager of the season at the end of the season.

"Oh! I'm sorry, I'm in charge now..." Ron suppressed his anger.

There was silence on the other side.

"Haha, Mr. Luo! You know, how do people like us have time to pay attention to these little things..."

Change a strong team for a general manager, you must know... Ron thought helplessly.

"So... tell me why you are here, Mr. Luo!" The tone on the other side was obviously much colder.

For this kind of guy who gets carried away and looks down on himself, he can only frustrate his spirit first.

"Uh...I think...I want to take Tony Allen..."

"...What?" The other side calmed down for a moment: "I'm sorry, Mr. Luo, we don't have a player with this name, maybe you should figure out where..."

"Are you sure? Maybe I'll get him from the Celtics and give him a mid-level job or something..."

"...You madman!...Okay! Okay! Mingren don't speak secretly...I want you to be frank..."

Bingo!
"Well, I'm not very satisfied with the position of our team. I think the game is nothing more than offense or defense, so I'll crucify him, get a blue-collar iron-blooded player, and smash the opponent's head every night like a bulldog...or..."

Listening carefully on the phone, Ron knew that this guy had long regarded Tony Allen as the last piece of the jigsaw puzzle of the Iron-Blooded Beast Legion.

"Or...I'll have mayo!" said Ron, smiling.

"Who? I like that guy!" Wallace said without thinking.

"Don't be funny, you don't even know his full name!" Ron also joked.

"Okay, let's talk about overweight..."

"I'm going to trade Battier for Tony Allen on the Boston side plus some money and some role players..."

There was silence on the other side.Ron is obviously taking advantage of the fire, and Shane Battier in his old age has a salary of 800 million.

This bastard seems to have brought Lao Tzu's cage from the beginning. Can you get Tony Allen from the Celtic Angie?tease!
"Listen! New Rockets manager! I don't care whose brother-in-law you are, or anything else, it doesn't matter, but I hope you understand the rules of this league... Do you understand the rules, boy! This is not a game, it's not that whoever you want, there must be someone!... When I was the manager, you were not even born!  …"

"That's good! As you wish!" Cut off with a snap, Ron frowned again at Lisa, the beautiful secretary who was giggling beside him: "Shake their boss..."

"But! Boss, that guy is calling again..."

"Leave him alone, do as I say!"

Ron smiled half-smile.

"Hey! Who!" It was obviously a mean capital businessman.

Ron took a deep breath: "Hi! Hello! Dear boss, I'm the new general manager of the Houston Rockets. I know everyone is busy, so I'll tell you frankly that your manager Wallace wants to exchange Battier with Mayo and a sum of money, but he dare not mention the money to you, so I'll take the liberty of calling you, hoping you will consider it."

"Battier? Battier... Battier... oh? Is it Sean Battier?" The guy behind the phone was clearly excited.

"That's right!"

Ron stared at the old picture with a smile like a flower, which shows that the Grizzlies were the head of the Grizzlies back then, and Battier's position in the boss's mind still had a profound impact...

"Of course I agree! I'm willing to pay any amount! If it's just for the Mayo..."

"Thank you! You're such a nice guy...bye!"

Ron was so excited that he stood up and held his palm tightly. It was his first time to gamble and he actually won the jackpot...

A few minutes later, the phone rang again. Without thinking about it, he lit a cigar and said with great interest, "Hello! This is Ron!"

"You bastard! What did you say to our boss?" There was a burst of swearing on the other side.

"If you're not interested, there's no need to call! You can explain it! Or you..."

"Okay! You scoundrel! You win!"

"Thank you!" Ron giggled.

"...I can give you Mayo, but the salary is not equal, you have to recruit other people..." The other side said viciously, as if fighting a trapped beast.

"It's no problem." Ron secretly cursed the guy's cunning.

"Okay! Mr. Ron, see you later!"

...

"Head! Kerr from the Suns wants to talk to you about Brooks..."

"I know."

Refreshing the headlines of ESPN, Barbosa's painful expression and the diagnostic application for season reimbursement made Ron feel a little happy.

"Hi, Cole? Ron!"

"Oh! Mr. Luo..." A flattering laugh came from the other side.

"Stop talking nonsense and ask Hornacek to answer the phone, I think this is his idea!"

There was silence on the phone.

Ron obviously enjoyed the feeling of playing out of the ordinary.

Hornacek, the Suns player technical consultant and first assistant coach, is also a veteran of the Suns after D'Antoni stepped down.Whether it's the rookie coach Gentley or the rookie manager Cole Jr., they all obey him.

For this kind of team with power left behind, if you don't hurry up and fool around, this is really not Ron's style.

"Hello, Hornacek?" Ron grabbed the dried fruit and stuffed it into his mouth, which was the prelude to his deception.

"Ah? Let's just say it! I don't like the bratty manager..." The old guy was full of airs.

"OK, I want Dragic!"

"Who? I like that guy!"

"Don't be funny, you don't even know what his full name is!"

"Listen!..." The old guy seemed to be preparing to give a serious lecture again, Ron frowned and moved the receiver a few meters away.

He chatted on and on and didn't know how long it would end, and Ron was cursing when he picked up the phone.

"Shut up idiot, in a word, Brooks replaced Dragic and another idiot with high salary and low ability. When I counted to 3, you haven't thought it through. Then please follow up with the Grizzlies directly...I'm busy!"

"Wait what did you say?"

"3!" Papa cut off directly...

...

Ron winked triumphantly, Lisa blushed, and ran away shyly...

Watch its actions and know its capabilities.

According to the information in his hand, the Suns, who are currently rejuvenated and ranked second in the West, in Ron's eyes, if there is no Brazilian lightning that is in full swing, it can only be said that the sun is declining.

He didn't worry at all that the other party had a reason to reject him.

This season, the Super Brazilian Lightning has already scored 20 points as a substitute, constantly breaking the record for the highest score from a substitute in recent years. His fall, and the loss of Marion, Stoudemire and others, relying on Nash alone, Channing Frye, dunk king Richardson, and Maggette are not reliable players.

It stands to reason and prescribe the right medicine.Brooks will be the most anticipated new addition to the Suns.

It's no wonder that Ron immediately attracted the idea of ​​the Suns as soon as he put Brooks on the shelf.

Unless Grizzlies general manager Wallace has a fit and wants Nash, otherwise, this three-party deal should just wait for him to sign and pledge.

Everything is so beautiful.

But at this moment, seeing Lisa's coquettish appearance, a jealous woman pushed open the door of the general manager's office angrily.

Scarlett!
oh!God!

Ron covered his head in embarrassment...

"I don't like this woman, change her away..." She held her breath with petty temper and stubbornness.

"Don't make trouble!" Ron said humorously: "Swap her? Go for LeBron or Kobe?"

Scarlett chuckled, and gradually returned to normal: "I don't care, anyway, next time I come here, if I see her flirting in front of you, I will slap her!"

Ron looked around, the two offices were separated by thousands of miles...

He spread his hands, "It's up to you..."

At this time the phone rang suddenly, Ron was thinking in his heart, and answered it with full expectation...

"Hey!"

"It's me! Cole!"

"..." The puppet manager, Ron instinctively had some ominous premonition.

"The Grizzlies want Raja Bell."

"Good thing!" Raja Bell, in the 09-10 season, was no longer Nash's right-hand man. He "successfully" transformed from a 3D player to a 3-no player... These also happened after signing a big contract.

Sun team commentator Cheng jokingly said that if a team is willing to take over Raja Bell, he is willing to ask the manager of that team to have a meal...

"That's right! It looks like it is. It's just..." Cole seemed to be a little hard to say.

"What? But it doesn't matter." The only thing that matters is this, Ron just doesn't know what this little Cole is struggling with...

"...No matter what the deal is, of course I will show it to our boss...you should know this...sit in our position..."

"Indeed..." Saying this on the lips, I have already thought of this softie a hundred times in my heart.

"He didn't say anything, but when he knew it was you...he...had an additional condition..."

"What? Me? He knows me?"

Scarlett's face suddenly became embarrassing.

"Mr. Robert Saville is a big fan of Scarlett Johansson, he only hopes to have the opportunity to have dinner with Miss Scarlett..."

"What if I refuse?" Instinctively furious, like a mad lion...

"...Please...Mr. Luo, this is just a normal social event in the United States. Could it be that Mr. Luo only does a one-time sale and doesn't do recurring business? I think we will have more opportunities to cooperate in the future..."

"!!" A streak of cold sweat rolled down Ron's cheeks, and his shocked expression was more uncomfortable than a grasshopper waiting to die after autumn.

He glanced at the gray and hazy sky, and he couldn't tell whether this was the world he was familiar with.

It seems that everything is not as simple as imagined!
