From today on is the king

Chapter 1475. Chapter 1474. The wine is very good, and the bragging is also very good
Less than an hour after the draft ended, the Nets made a big deal that stole the show!
And it's a three-party deal!

The Mavericks received Jason Kidd, Malik Allen and Pat Garrity from the Nets in exchange for Devin Harris, DeSagana Diop, Maurice Iger, Trenton Hassel, unprotected first-round picks in 2008 and 2010 and $300 million in cash.

The Magic sent Joakim Noah, the 2009th overall pick in the first round, an unprotected first-round pick in 300, Kenyon Dooling, Pat Garrity, Tony Batty, Travel Dinard, [-] million cash, and nearly half of the team's rotation.
The Nets sent Vince Carter, Jason Kidd, Malik Allen, three unprotected first-round picks from 2008 to 2010, Joakim Noah, 600 million cash, and Devin Harris, Maurice Iger, Trenton Hassell, Tony Batty, and Travel DiNard.

Devin Harris becomes Jason Kidd...

The ultimate deluxe version has been upgraded!

And it only took two insignificant first-round picks and $2008 million in 2010 and 300, and it also got rid of Diop's big contract.

Mavericks fans generally like Dampier's type of center, and they dug two or three with big contracts...

Now that they have got rid of Diop's big contract and have Kidd, the Mavericks who have just been blacked out have stood up again before the end of the season!

For the Magic, the past playoffs were brilliant. Although they sent Joakim Noah, this year’s T1 rookie, and got a junk contract, but taking advantage of Turkoglu’s low salary and Howard still has a lot of salary space in his rookie contract to get Carter... eating a junk contract and sending him to the first round in the future is still a big profit!

After the birth of this transaction, the headlines of Emperor Auden, the number one scholar, have been robbed today!
On Liu Mang's side, he was watching TV with Little Lolita and waiting for the boss's reply. He saw the Nets' trade...it really felt like an exaggeration. He said it was a trade...

Liu Mang complained: "The management of the Nets will always play this stud style?"

At this time, in a restaurant in New York, the management executives of the two teams are playing a game...

……

……

EMP restaurant in New York, the full name is Madison restaurant, this Michelin three-star restaurant ranked second in the United States and first in New York in 2006.

Byrd shook his wine glass, watching the wonderful color...

Look at this wine, polyol...

Look at this dish, how fragrant it is...

Look at this sommelier, how handsome...

Look at this light, how bright it is...

But what happened in front of him... from any perspective, it is not a good thing, the other party is even a little bullying.

But why didn't Bird leave?
Because the owner of the team in front of him is too special.

In terms of wealth, the owner of the Eagles is not rich; in terms of seniority, the owner of the Eagles is only in his 40s and less than 50... But in terms of luck, the guy in front of him is so lucky that he can get a lot of money in the draft every year, and even established the fourth team in NBA history to win three consecutive championships.

Bird knows that luck is very important, but if you can choose a baby every year, it is not just luck.

At the end of the draft at night, when Bird was invited by Price's secretary, he felt strange. The two teams didn't have much overlap. Last year, although they could not be said to be hostile, they definitely had a bad relationship. Regarding Granger's trade this year, the Eagles preferred Jordan, not Bird.

Counting it, the Eagles returned an arrow, and the two teams were evened.

The Pacers represented by Bird now, and the Eagles represented by Price, can be regarded as the river water does not violate the well water, and there is no friendliness or disgust.

"Steven, don't you think such a proposal would be too childish? Jermaine has indeed dropped a lot, but he also averaged 13 points and 7 rebounds per game, and it's money! You just say a word, let me cut him? If I change someone, I will definitely leave the table." Bird made an unhappy expression.

"Larry, haven't you turned the table yet? The fact that we're sitting here together means you want to know."

"You won. I really want to know who the person you mentioned is." Byrd smiled wryly.

Tell you about a rookie who may not be in the top three next year but is the strongest rookie...

This sentence was too attractive for Byrd.

There is no way, Bird tried his best to form a championship-level lineup back then, but it just blossomed, let alone reaping the fruits of success. Before the fruits began to grow, they were strangled by Ben Wallace's provocative push.

That time was really badly hurt, and Bird's ten-year foundation was destroyed.

If it wasn't for that brawl, Bird would have humbly begged the Eagles to give Granger?
Originally, Jamal Tinsley, Reggie Miller, Artest, Jermaine O'Neal, Stephen Jackson... and many other outstanding role players. At that time, the Pacers were the most promising team to beat the defending champion Hawks, but they only played 10 games, and everything came to naught...

In the next few years, the Pacers were rotten and rotten, and the results could not be achieved. An excellent head coach also wanted to leave. The head coach only had one year left on his contract. Bird could only let him contact other teams, maybe he could get something back...

And Granger and the others didn't get it, they didn't get the core of the team, Bird can be said to be at the end of his rope now.

Let alone face-to-face confrontation with Price now, listening to Price's proposed solution is simply unthinkable, but Bird feels that this is an opportunity.

Besides... the other party is really sincere about this matter...

He Larry Bird, the number one small forward in history, became the best manager immediately when he was not a player, and the best coach when he was a head coach. How could he ever imagine such a situation?

But now is really the time.

Next season, Bird can only choose to play poorly, but Jermaine O'Neal has 3 years left in his contract. The team option for the third year is okay, but it is almost 3800 million in two years... With Jermaine O'Neal averaging 13 points and 7 rebounds per game this past season, Bird really can't find a team to take over.

Originally, in time and space, there was the Raptors who wanted to take over O'Neal's garbage contract, but in this time and space, the Raptors had Milicic and three major stars, who wanted O'Neal.

And in the original time and space, the Raptors only used a first-round lottery to protect the draft pick when they got O'Neal, and the Pacers just turned O'Neal's long-term garbage contract into several expired garbage contracts.

从05-06赛季全明星级别的场均20+9，到刚刚结束这赛季场均13+7，小奥尼尔状态如雪崩一般。

There's a player with almost 2000 million a year on the team who can only do badly...

What's more, the Pacers are similar to the Lakers. They are not a team with strong drafts. Bird's own draft ability is average. In the lineup of the 04-05 season, Reggie Miller was acquired by Bird when he joined the Pacers. The rest were basically signed or traded.

"Larry, I will tell you, but you have to make a promise first. I believe that with your Larry Bird character, as long as you promise, you will keep it." Price was not fooled.

"Of course, but if you don't tell me first, how can I trust you?" Byrd tentatively asked.

"Oh, Larry, do you know that we have more than 200 scouts and a data analysis network of more than 50 people. We have the entire league, no, the strongest rookie analysis department of all clubs in the world..." Price began to brag.

In terms of team building, Price is not as good as Liu Mang, but when it comes to bragging about selling "products", Liu Mang is no match for Price, who came from a business family.

Liu Mang just asked Price to reveal his non-existent "scouting network". Price directly referred to this thing as the Eagles', and his bragging was too much.

Listen to your nonsense!More than 200 scouts and an analysis network of more than 50 people...

Bird took it for granted that Price was exaggerating.

Bird wouldn't believe the number 250, but Bird didn't believe it at all. With 50 scouts and 20 people in the analysis department, Bird probably believed in this number.

Bragging is also very important, and boasting with confidence is also very important. Price's confident appearance, nonsense, really has an effect...

"Larry, I'm not the Lakers. On the contrary, our opponents are all the Lakers. They already have 15 championships, and the Celtics have 16 championships. If you don't help me...can you help the Celtics win the 17th championship? We are not enemies. We should be friends. The Eagles and Celtics should fight the Lakers together." Price began to play cards in this regard.

"Well, this is very convincing, but just giving us the name of an outside core will cost us so much money in vain, Steven, you have to give me a little confidence, and this needs to be done by ourselves to get it, right?" Bird wants to get a promise.

"Believe me, Larry, the guy I'm talking about is as good as Chris Paul and Deron Williams! He's like Kobe Bryant," Price emphasized.

In fact...Price has no idea who that person is at all...The superficial appearance is an instinct cultivated by his family since he was a child.

But Price is shocked now. What Liu Mang discussed with him before actually choked the life of the Pacers!
The organs are exhausted, resourceful and decisive!
Price didn't know these two idioms, but from the overall layout of this summer that he got from Liu Mang this time, Price deeply felt the feeling similar to these two idioms.

How long has Liu Mang calculated this day?Price didn't know, but he knew that this time was really incredible!
Can actually sell draft vision!

At first, when Price heard about this reinforcement method, he didn't know how to speak, but he didn't expect that the other party would not get angry when he heard such an excessive thing.

After all, because of McHale, the Celtics are besieged on all sides, and Bird is considering how to establish a new network of relationships.

Liu Mang's grasp of the opponent's current situation and mentality made Price feel like no one else.

If the Hawks only selected Liu Mang, Bird would not believe it, but then Boozer, Iguodala, Josh Smith, Granger, Rondo, Millsap...

There are too many, and Bird can't help but doubt the authenticity of the draft department that Price said. Exaggeration is definitely an exaggeration. At first glance, it is bragging. If Price said the structure is small, Bird may have a little doubt, but dare to brag like this, Bird believes that there must be one in this department.

Regardless of the size of Price's scouting department, it's a fact that the Hawks have the best draft vision in the league.

The Spurs selected Manu Ginobili and Parker successively. It is exaggerated enough. The Spurs general manager Buford has become famous because of this. Many teams want to poach people. The Eagles can do similar things almost every year...

It is very important to have a good chance with the Eagles. Bird is very sure of this. If Jermaine O’Neal cannot be sold, an amnesty is necessary. Jermaine O’Neal’s salary will be taken away from the total salary, and the Pacers can reduce the total salary to a level close to the salary cap, which is lower than the luxury tax threshold.

If you deal with it early, you can still sell favors to the Eagles?Look at the Rockets, the Rockets helped the Eagles once, and now they have formed a core lineup with a bright future, and Bird is a little moved.

The Eagles are notoriously humane team. Bird thought twice, he still has the right to amnesty a player, that player can’t be sent out, and the amnesty will also affect the performance. It has been delayed for several years, and now the relationship with the Eagles can be improved...

Price's vision may be like that, but from his previous operations, it can be seen that he will not let go of an opportunity to take advantage of it. Similarly, he also has the ability to read words and emotions when doing business, and knows that Bird is very emotional now.

"I look forward to our long-term cooperative relationship in the future. Regardless of whether you will change teams in the future, Larry, I want to work with smart people like you." Price continued.

Bird hesitated for a while, seemed to have made up his mind, and replied: "I think we will have a good time working together in the future."

"Of course, BEAT-LA." Price raised his glass.

"BEAT-LA!" Bird also raised his glass.

……

After receiving a text message from Price, saying that Jermaine O'Neill had received permission to contact him, Liu Mang clinked glasses with the little girl next to him.

It went very well, very well.

Seeing that the little Lolita took a big gulp, and a quarter of the glass was gone, Liu Mang hurriedly said: "Drink less, if Levia finds out and I secretly give you a drink, she will beat me to death!"

"Understood, uncle, pour another cup for Dinah!" Little Lolita looked like a heroic martial artist.

"..." Liu Mang seemed to see the picture of himself being hanged and beaten by Levia...

"Dinah, go get a can of Sprite."

Little Lolita asked strangely: "Uncle, do you want to drink carbonated drinks? It's not good for that athlete to drink."

"No, I want to mix some drinks for you so that you don't get too drunk!" Liu Mang complained.

"Uncle, do you know how to make cocktails?" Little Lolita's eyes lit up, and she drank red wine dryly. Little Lolita, who can't taste wine, really thought it was quite unpleasant.

Cocktails... is that a cocktail?

Liu Mang looked excited and thought there was a cocktail to drink, and the little loli who ran to get the drink was really embarrassed to say that "Sprite and wine" doesn't seem to be a cocktail...

Originally, Liu Mang didn't intend to let little Lolita drink, but Alexia and Levia went to bed early. These two days, Liu Mang was tormenting him enough, so Liu Mang could only hold Little Lolita, and ended up pouring a quarter of a glass, and little Lolita drank it all in one gulp.

But today I am happy, Liu Mang is going to show off his ability to "make cocktails"!

"Boss of the system, use the mid-level rogue value to draw a lottery, specify the ability to mix drinks, and draw until you win!"

With more than 1 million rogue values, Liu Mang can play casually!

The feeling of being woken up at four o'clock in the morning... I am asking for a ticket for the new week~ any ticket is fine, thank you!
