I'm the boss in the NBA

Chapter 220 Negotiating a "Losing" Deal
"Su Yi, since we chose Amare, we should trade Marcus Camby..."

"Why, my positioning for the two of them is that Stoudemire plays center, Camby has a mid-range shooter and plays power forward, and the team plays bombardment tactics in the new season. Is there any problem?" Su Yi asked puzzled.

"Didn't you ask me to clear the team lineup! So I made a deal before the trade deadline in February. I traded Juwan Howard from the Mavericks."

Whitney said proudly that she spent a lot of thought on making this big deal involving seven players. Juwan Howard was a star player back then. If he could play for the Nuggets , I can say that I exchanged a bunch of ten-yuan bills for a one-hundred-yuan bill.

"Juwan Howard, his annual salary should be very high! The price-performance ratio is not very high, can he be traded for a draft pick?"

Of course, Su Yi had heard of this name, but it was in the newspaper. At that time, the report said that the players with the highest salary in the NBA, among them was Juwan Howard, who received as much as 2000 million U.S. dollars from the Wizards. The contract, the strength of the year was really good, but now it is really not worth the annual salary of more than [-] million US dollars.

To trade away, we must find a way to trade away.

"Actually, it's not necessary. I traded him just to clear the salary space. His big contract expires next year. If I don't cut the price sharply, I won't keep him. This will clear the 2000 million salary space, and we can be free. There's a lot going on in the player market."

"Let's see if there is any team that is willing to accept him? This season we will play run-and-gun tactics, and the team should focus on players who can run, jump and pass. He is not in my consideration. In addition, you can go Contact coach D'Antoni and ask him if he would like to come to the Nuggets as head coach."

"It's simple. It just so happens that our head coach has not yet been determined. If the asking price of Coach Anthony is not too high, I will consider him. My father's management salary is not high, so I need to save some money."

Whitney is always saving money, and it seems that she has also been infected with her father's stinginess. She does not have the extravagant appearance of a billionaire's eldest daughter, and she looks petty.

The two were chatting every sentence, and suddenly a phone call came in, and the voice that answered was the general manager of the Suns, Mr. Jerry Colangelo.

"Mr. Jerry, hello, I think you must be planning to talk to us about draft pick trading when you called me, right?" Whitney answered the phone leisurely.

"Yes, we can trade this year's No. 22 pick, you just need to exchange next year's first-round pick with us!" The opposite side put forward their offer.

"Oh, God, are you kidding? Next year is the year of the draft. With the strength of our team, it is likely to be the top pick in the lottery. I can't accept your proposal. I just want to choose a substitute. Young players on the Internet, we have suffered too much from this transaction, if you still have this transaction plan, please forgive me for hanging up the phone."

Whitney was so pissed off by the deal proposal that the general manager said, that she would hang up the phone and end the relationship if there was any disagreement.

"Miss Whitney, we all pay attention to win-win in business, and you can't let us suffer! How about this, tell me about your bargaining chips, let me listen!" Jerry Colangelo on the opposite side also knew that he It's too big to open your mouth. If Whitney agrees, it will become the biggest joke in the NBA.

Su Yi saw that Whitney looked a little clueless, and reached out to take the phone from her hand: "Hi, Mr. General Manager, I'm Su Yi, I think we should talk straight to the point, the 2003 lottery area You should know how valuable draft picks are, so you don't have enough chips, at least give us a young player if you want it."

"Oh, hello! Su Yi, then how do you want to trade who?" The general manager became worried when he heard that it was Su Yi. He knew how miserable the general manager of the Magic team was by Su Yi's father.

"If you want our 03 first-round pick, you guys need to give us a young player..."

"Then I can give you Jack Voskull, a big center with a height of 2 meters. I believe you will be satisfied."

"NO, NO, NO, Mr. General Manager, don't be joking, a second-round trash wants to trade for a first-round pick in the draft year, you are too overestimating your players, I want Joe Johnson..."

"That's impossible, Joe is not for sale."

"According to this, the 2003 first-round pick is also not for sale!"

"In short, Joe cannot be traded. We are very optimistic about his talent, and we are going to focus on training. How about this, I can take out this year's No. 22 pick, Anfernee Hardaway, Tom Gugliota, and trade your Zhu With Von Howard and next year's unprotected first-round pick, Anferney is a superstar!"

"But how did I hear that he went to Houston for left knee surgery after the end of last season. I heard that the recovery after the operation is not very good, and it may affect his career. You know, Houston is my base camp. You can't hide this information from my eyes and ears."

Damn it, the general manager on the opposite side scolded himself for being an idiot, how could he forget about Su Yi's stay in Houston.

"I know that you are eager to trade Anferney to reduce losses. I can help you digest his big contract with Tom Gugliotta, but you have to trade Joe Johnson to us."

"No, if I trade Anferney, Joe must stay, otherwise we will have no one on the shooting guard."

Su Yi looked at the TV and saw that Stern was already announcing the 18th pick in the draft.

"Mr. General Manager, if you are not sincere, then don't waste your time. I will give you the last two proposals. If you don't agree, then forget it."

"The first plan is the trade of draft picks. We will use the No. 1 pick in the second round this year and the second round pick next year to replace your No. 22 pick in the first round."

"The second option is that we use Juwan Howard, Ryan Bowen and the unprotected first round pick in 2003 to trade your No. 22 pick this year and the second round pick next year, as well as Anfernee Hardaway, Tom . Gugliotta and Shawn. Marion three players.

Juwan Howard's big contract is the last year of this year. If you trade him, not only will the power forward position be strengthened, but when his contract expires next year, there will be more than 2000 million salary space, which will even allow you to sign Two All-Star players, and we also helped you solve the multi-year contracts of Anferney and Tom Gugliotta. This is a win-win transaction proposal and our final transaction plan. You only have 1 minute consider!Afterwards I will refuse any business negotiation with you because you are very dishonest. "

Whitney looked up at Su Yi, wondering why Su Yi would trade him knowing that Anfernie was not recovering well from injury, wouldn't it be possible to use the 2000 million salary space vacated by Juwan Howard to sign a free agent in a year? Okay?It seems to be a bad year, so it's better to choose those heaven's favored ones in the next year's draft!
She has inquired about it, and next year there will be LeBron James, Carmelo Anthony, Chris Bosh, Dwyane Wade and a large number of talented people participating in the draft. This is a draft that has not been seen in decades. Happy New Year!My mouth is watering just thinking about it.

The general manager on the other side of the phone feels that he is very passive now, as if he is being led by the nose by Su Yi, but he also feels that the plan Su Yi gave is indeed very affordable. After all, the first round of the draft is very expensive, and it is difficult to be accepted Traded, and can also send away two big contract players with two years left, and replace them with Juwan Howard, who only has a one-year contract.

The other party didn't hang up the phone. It seemed that the other party was blocking the receiver and having a heated discussion. Su Yi could vaguely hear some intense noise coming from the other end of the phone. After a minute, Su Yi was impatiently about to hang up the phone At that time, there was an answering voice from the opposite side, the voice was low and weak, and said: "Su, we agree to the transaction, I choose the second transaction plan, I hope we can all cooperate happily, I hope I will not regret today's decision .”

　Regarding the Nuggets trading the 2003 first-round pick, because the Nuggets will not be bad in the 2003 season, they are destined not to pick Anthony, and they will not find a good guy to compete with the protagonist. Definitely the top five in the game, at least the second round of the playoffs, and there are those who played after the lottery in 2003. The 18th pick in the civil war has Stoudemire who is more suitable for fast breaks, and the 21st pick is Dior. It is suitable for fast break play, but it is not better to use Marion, the 25th pick Delfino is at best a bench bandit to give up, Perkins is too slow, Barbosa and Josh Howard have Prince?Personally, I think it is still Prince, who can be trained a year earlier.
