From today on is the king

Chapter 1585
"The Eagles?" Colangelo looked at the simple but targeted trade plan submitted by Ujiri, wondering why the target was the Eagles.

"Yes! They will definitely be interested. If we trade with them, we will have a chance to win the championship." Ujiri seemed to have aged several years in a few hours. After a pause, Ujiri continued: "The media's eyes are still on the draft today. We still have the last 24 hours, and our advantage will be weakened after that..."

Ujiri began to analyze the current collision for Colangelo.

Time is running out, and it is Ujiri's goal now to solve the problem before Milicic's application for a trade is known to the ubiquitous "sources" in the team.

This short period of time is in the best interest of the Raptors. When other teams know about this, apply for a trade, and offer various offers. After the Hawks have a chance to compare, the Raptors are still in a favorable position. After all, Milicic still has a two-year contract, but the degree of benefit will be much lower.

In this way, Ujiri needs to quickly come up with the best return plan that can be obtained, and how many brain cells died in just two hours.

"The Hawks get Milicic so we have a chance to win the championship?" Colangelo thinks this sentence is very problematic, but after listening to Ujiri's analysis and seeing the trading plan...

Colangelo felt unreliable and said, "Marseille, your idea is very good, but can the Hawks accept such a trading plan?"

Ujiri wants to maintain the continuity of the team's strength, and of course he wants to be a superstar in his prime. The trade plan he has drawn up makes Colangelo look like a fantasy!

Of course, Colangelo also knows that the Eagles are a talented team with star resources comparable to the Los Angeles Lakers. It is not that there are no other teams that do not have stars with similar value to Milicic, but they will definitely not trade, like the Cavaliers. The Spurs' facial paralysis...these are either old or the Raptors don't want to.

Only by trading with the Eagles, will you get a huge return without involving the opponent's most important players.

But... Colangelo looked at the three names again, still feeling unreliable, and asked again: "I know Darko's value is very high, but it's impossible for the other party to agree to such a request?"

"I have contacted them. They are very interested in Darko and are discussing what kind of quotation they want to give us." Ujiri seemed to be infected by Milicic, and his answer was concise.

"..." Colangelo was speechless, feeling that his position as CEO was lost...

Before co-authoring this guy to come up with a trading plan and tell him, he has already proposed a deal with the Eagles!
"Marseille, I leave it to you. Tell me good news. If there is no good news, remember to book a recruitment newspaper for me." Colangelo said with a wry smile.

Ujiri also has a headache now, but he knows that he needs to be calm and patient, even before the news is exposed, he must remain patient...

After comforting the president, Ujiri went back to the room and waited for the Eagles to call back.

……

……

From the very beginning, the Eagles did not expect such a trade application from the Raptors. They never thought that they would have the opportunity to get a real super center!

Liu Mang returned to the living room of the boss's suite. He felt that the Raptors' brains were amused, but he was regarded as a super center comparable to Olajuwon, and he was only 23 years old!
What's the difference between this and the Magic letting O'Neal go for nothing?
Listening to the boss and coaches discussing whether to make an offer to try, some are questioning the IQ of the Raptors management, and some are analyzing and discussing what the Raptors management is planning. After firing the previous general manager who proposed such a deal, the new general manager did the same thing...

Liu Mang thought for a while and said, "I think the Raptors management is not out of their minds, but they have to propose this deal to us."

"Have to propose a trade?" Stockton heard this, thought of a possibility, and asked, "Ace, you mean Milicic applied for a trade?"

"Yes," Liu Mang analyzed, "Milicic can opt out of his contract in 2010. His new contract is a 3+1 player option. If Milicic applies for a trade, the Raptors can only choose to trade. They have torn faces with Milicic. After another season, in 2009, the value of Milicic's trade will be greatly reduced. They don't have the courage to keep Milicic in anger, and they don't have that kind of capital. They must find a team deal that can give the best return. , that’s why they came to us.”

When Price heard this analysis, his eyes lit up: "Should we announce this news? This will put a lot of pressure on the Raptors!"

"No, we have nothing to do with the Raptors, we can't do this." Coach Kruger denied this idea.

"That's right, with more teams participating, our chances of getting Milicic will decrease." Price also felt that his thoughts just now were a bit silly.

"Do we have to trade? It should be okay for our current lineup to hit the three consecutive championships again." Liu Mang asked.

It is what Liu Mang wants to continue to maintain the status quo and defend the title.

"This..." Price is also hesitant. Although he was very excited last night and wanted to continue talking with the Raptors immediately, but now that the team has just reached the peak again, Price does not want to move the current core lineup. If he wants to trade Milicic, he will pay more than 01:30.

"But that's Milicic!" Price didn't want to miss the chance to get Milicic, a super center who just turned 23 in June.

"Milicic..." Liu Mang remembered that he had just sent a text message to Milicic a week ago to wish him a happy 23rd birthday, and he knew that such things could not be left to him.

That is a player who can be compared with the 23-year-old second-year Olajuwon in terms of statistics and team leadership ability. Last season's double first-team center and MVP voted best defensive player voted No.3.

After discussing with the Eagles, they felt that this kind of opportunity must not be let go!

"They traded with us, they definitely want to get another top center, I think their goal is Kwame, and they may also want our inside substitute." Van Gundy said.

"If there is Milicic, Kwame will definitely have to be sent out. They have Johnson and Jefferson on the front line. Maybe they still want point guards, so Rajon can only be sent out." Stockton sighed, and another disciple was about to be sent away.

But Stockton knew that there was no way around it. His best disciple was on the team he worked for, and no one could shake the status of this disciple.

After discussing for a while, Coach Kruger and Price made a decision to use Rondo and Kwame Brown as the core bargaining chips. In addition, Scola, Gortat, Grant Hill and other low-salary and high-performance players were also included in the bargaining chips.

Even the No. 10 pick, which has been hesitating, the Eagles are willing to give away.

If you can get Milicic, everything is not a problem.

Liu Mang saw that he also participated in the discussion of the trading options that he sorted out together, and knew that the matter had come to this point, the trend of the times, and there was no other way.

If there is really a chance to get Milicic, it must send so many teammates, even teammates like Rondo and Kwame Brown who have been together for two years or more.

But the goal of Liu Mang and the coaches is still very clear. To keep the ultimate four-man team of Maimang + Wade and Jason Terry, they only need to find some outside substitutes.

With Milicic on the inside, it is enough to add a pitching power forward and a physical flow inside to the power forward position, which can be done in this year's draft.

Don't worry about the inside substitutes, Jermaine O'Neal and Brad Miller can still be used for another year.

Gasol's muscle gain has ended, and fat loss is an important task this summer. At most, he will be able to lose weight healthily and reasonably in a year and successfully start to realize his potential. If it doesn't work, start with the free market.

The ultimate outside four-man team, plus the double-team super center Milicic... As long as the outside super combination remains unchanged, and the inside team continues to collect various special inside team building plans from last season, even if the new season takes some time to get used to, Liu Mang can still accept it.

Now that this is the case, Liu Mang chose to just watch Price send the trade application to Raptors general manager Ujiri.

but……

1 minutes later...

A Chinese national curse came out of Price's room...

"I X him XX...they are really sick!"

The Raptors rejected this trade plan in seconds!
Rondo added Kwame Brown as the core bargaining chip, Scola, Gortat, Grant Hill, Marion, and the No. 10 pick were randomly selected, but the Raptors refused!

The reply email read, "Such a bargaining chip can't get the center of the first team of the best team and the first team of the best defensive team."

"Are they kidding us?" Price was so angry that he slapped the table.

Liu Mang was so angry that he cursed directly, but the others in the room couldn't understand.

Looking at the time, it was already one o'clock in the afternoon, Liu Mang really wanted to rush to the hotel next door to beat someone!

But he didn't feel right. It shouldn't be possible for the other party to joke casually about such a thing, that is, the other party is really dissatisfied with such a bargaining chip.

There is no false procrastination, nor does it seem to be perfunctory Milicic negotiating with other teams...

On the contrary, it is more like a determined transaction!
