Chapter 107 Busy Management
"Lori, what exactly do you want to say?" Li Tian, ​​who was pulled away by Lori, looked around and saw that there was no one around.

"Li, let's go, drive and follow me to a place." Without saying anything, he pointed to the car.

The two drove out of the arena parking lot.

Driving all the way down, I was a little confused at the beginning, but the more I drove, the more I understood that this was the way to Gasol's house.

A quarter of an hour later, the two drove to Gasol's home.

Seeing that Gasol was already waiting for the two at the door, it seemed that before the start of the game, the two of them had agreed to come to Gasol's house after the game and brought themselves with them.

"Lori, Lee, welcome." Gasol greeted him and said with a smile.

"Paul, Lowry, what's going on with you guys?" In the end, I couldn't help but wonder if Gasol's outbreak was prepared in advance, deliberately taking advantage of this fiasco to erupt.

Thinking of this, I feel that the amount of information is a bit large.

"Let me explain to you. In fact, Paul's outburst today was not a sudden outburst, but had been planned for a long time." Lowry said lightly.

It has been planned for a long time. It seems that players with high golf quotients are not all like Howard, with strong limbs and simple minds.A player with a high golf quotient like Gasol has a good IQ. 'I was also thinking, but didn't speak, and quietly waited for the other party to continue talking.

"Are you shocked?" Gasol smiled happily when he saw Li Tian's reaction, thinking he was shocked by his outburst.

"Yeah dude, why do you want to" can't help complaining" Shocked ass, don't you take me, I'm just a rookie. 'Somewhat helpless.

What they don't know is that at the time of their three-point meeting.The Grizzlies management is also meeting.

"Wallace, I think it's irreversible now. Gasol has already stated that he wants to leave the team. Now the conflicts in the team have become obvious." The team has long wanted to trade Gasol.

When he came to the Grizzlies, he knew that he would be regarded as the one who took responsibility. The Grizzlies management used him to attract the anger of fans in the future and bear the responsibility for the team's record decline.

He also wants to use the Grizzlies to accumulate some experience for his coach's growth, and he doesn't care if he will be blamed. This contract can make him a lot of money.

Wallace had known about the quarrel in the locker room for a long time. He expected that Gasol would propose a trade, but he did not expect that Gasol, who has never lost his temper, would break out early in the team's locker room, which made him a little unexpected. And, now we can only prepare to trade Gasol in advance.

If this news is broken, it will reduce the value of Gasol's transaction, and the team must hurry up to complete the transaction.

Wallace thought, 'Gasol is different from other players, he can trade him at will, but Gasol has a great influence in the history of the Grizzlies, and many teams' records are created by Gasol. Sol insisted that the team entered the playoffs because of Gasol, and the team's best record is also Gasol' thinking about it is a bit big.

"Yes Mark, we need to trade him out as soon as possible in exchange for better bargaining chips. If the quarrel in the locker room is exposed, it will affect the value of his next transaction." Wallace began to think about how to trade.

"I agree, I will not say a word to the outside media." Mark still endured.

"Okay, I will strictly order the players not to speak out." Wallace sighed, a little regretful, knowing that he should have traded Gasol in advance, and he could get a higher value.

Before the start of the season, he tried to trade Gasol, but did not get the right chips, so he had to give up.

"Okay, then let's discuss how to trade and what chips we want to get." Mark didn't know whether the team was going to start to perform poorly next season or had other plans.

"Next, the team will try its best to train young players. If Gasol is traded, we need to train a new All-Star player. The team owners need attendance. You know this." The Grizzlies are already difficult to attract When it comes to big-name players, Gasol still cultivated himself.

You can only cultivate All-Star players yourself, so that you can have a sense of belonging.

"Then the main purpose of our trade is to get draft picks." Mark understood what Wallace meant.

"Yes, in the next one to two years, we need draft picks, and then the team will give them some time to grow." Rookie training takes time.

With Wallace's promise, Mark also knew, "I still have a chance to coach the Grizzlies for about a year. If I can't cultivate the core of the future, then he needs to bear the responsibility of sending Gasol away and the poor record." ' Marx asked.

"Then let's discuss how to trade Gasol." Mark didn't hold back, and went straight to the point.

"To trade Paul, we need to fully consider his ideas, because he is very important to the Grizzlies. If we recklessly trade him to a weak team, then the introduction of stars in the future will have a negative impact." Wallace said in a deep voice .

If only interests are considered, then it would be good to trade Gasol to a weaker team, but Gasol’s contribution to the Grizzlies cannot be ignored. After coming to Memphis, the records of the Grizzlies are basically created by Gasol. Had to consider these.

"Damn it, it will be difficult for us to get a high-ranking rookie." Mark couldn't help cursing.

"No way, Paul has a different status in the Grizzlies, we can't ignore his ideas." The NBA said that everything is for profit, but it can't ignore favors.

In order to obtain a large number of draft picks, the later generations broke up the Big Three of the Celtics, but since then, no famous star is willing to go to Boston.Irving, the only one who was traded, didn’t stay long, and left again. This is when the stars are worried that they are in a good state. Angie is holding it. If the state is not good, he will be sold immediately. No star wants to be sold by the team at the end of his career. .

"That's the only way, then we will listen to the offers of various teams, and then listen to Paul's opinion." Mark didn't say much, that is to hurry up the transaction and stabilize the locker room as soon as possible.

"Okay, next I will listen to offers from some teams, and more for some draft picks and expiring contracts of their teams." Draft picks are to cultivate the future of the team, expiring contracts, and also to try , If I have a chance to sign a star in the offseason next year, of course I don't have much hope, but I still have to try.

"Okay, so what is the team's next arrangement? You also know that the conflict between Gay and Lee was raised by Gasol again; the competition between Lowry and Conley is becoming more and more obvious. For Conley's growth, Lowry and us You can't stay." Mark also hopes that Li Tian can be traded out earlier, and the relationship with him has not been very good since the beginning of the season.

Wallace's original purpose of choosing Li Tian was to attract Tianchao fans, and he also wanted to get some dividends from it, but because of Mark's showy operation, his wish was completely shattered.

However, the value of the transaction has also dropped a lot. With Gasol gone, the internal containment force will be greatly reduced. If Li Tian is kept, his stats will also drop significantly. At that time, if he trades again, he will not get anything. Valuable bargaining chips, it is better to trade them out early and get some draft picks.

Lowry's existence affects Conley's future, so he must be traded.

"Mark, I will try to trade Li as much as possible. You know, after that press conference, his trading value has dropped too significantly, and he may not get any good bargaining chips." Wallace's eyes flashed with anger, Obviously, at least one of the top first-round picks can be obtained, but because of Mark's words, it is now estimated that it is only a second-round pick.

"That's the only way, then Lorena?" Gasol's deal is confirmed, so the team's locker room quarrel is half resolved.

"Let's wait for Lowry's deal, but it has to be done as soon as possible, and we have to see if we can get some bargaining chips." Wallace's next main job is to deal with these people.

"Try to get more top draft picks." Mark's initial plan was to suggest that Wallace trade Gasol to a lottery team so that he could get a good draft pick. more relaxed.

But Wallace blocked him before he could ask.In order to show enough respect for Gasol, he will not trade Gasol at will, and needs to listen to Gasol's opinion.

If Li Tian heard the conversation of the management, he would definitely scold him, 'Do rookies have no human rights?You can trade as you please. '

After negotiating the specific transaction, the next step is the general manager's business.

Mark left the general manager's office. It was different from when he first entered the office. Compared with him before he entered, he was almost reborn.

The whole body is full of energy and can't wait to prepare for the next game.

'Finally I can flex my muscles according to my own ideas. Gasol is leaving, and damn Lee is leaving too. No one in the team dares to challenge his authority anymore.It's just a pity that Lowry left. He is a good substitute and can sometimes replace the starter.Gasol quarreled with himself and was traded, and Lee was the same. Let's see who else on the team will not obey his arrangement. 'Thinking of these, Mark's mood is getting better and better.

What Mark didn't know was that he was just a gun in the hands of management and bosses.

Trading Gasol has long been the team's previous arrangement, but it was disrupted by the quarrel in the locker room, but the transaction must be carried out, otherwise it will have to wait for the next year, which is inconsistent with the team's strategy.

Ever since Gasol was seriously injured, the team has excluded Gasol from participating in the national competition, and Li Tian is the same. Seeing that Yao Ming plays so many more games a year than other players, the Grizzlies management is also afraid. Li Tian has a high salary, and like Gasol, the team will be abandoned for a few more years.

Wallace began to think that Gasol wanted to go to a strong team, so the draft picks in exchange would definitely not be very good.

To start with some teams that want to strengthen through trades, hoping to get a better draft pick.

Before Wallace started contacting the team, someone had already contacted him.

The first to call was
