Chapter 106 (one hundred and five) difficult signings

Okur is about to leave, which has brought tremendous pressure on Houston's signings.Although he has not officially accepted the Jazz's offer contract at this time, Yuan Fei already knows that he will not be seen in the team next season.

"Mr. Tomjanovich called me early in the morning and insisted that we recruit a center forward." Dawson reported the truth to Yuanfei, and now the relationship between the two has been completely reversed. "I never thought that there would be so many difficulties in the summer after winning the championship. Our players have become favorites in the market, and many teams have sent trade applications. Even some players in the team have submitted applications hoping to be traded. I am already very busy."

"Old man, don't worry, you have to do one by one. Let me tell you which player wants to be traded away? Tony?" Yuan Fei said.

"Tony, and Joe." Dawson secretly observed Yuan Fei's face while talking, and was secretly relieved when he found that he was not angry.

"It seems that the selection of Span has a great impact on Tony's emotions. Tony is very dissatisfied with the lack of playing time, especially in the finals considering the height of the opponent player Bodi Loga, he hardly got any playing time. Even when Chauncey is off the court, most of them are Tracy organizing the offense. Not to mention Joe, he is ranked behind Tracy and Michael, and there are too few opportunities to play." Dissatisfaction is normal, we can consider a deal. By the way, old man, why are you staring at me so strangely?"

"We just won the championship and some players wanted to change teams. I thought you would be furious and scold them for not being motivated." Dawson replied honestly.

"Haha, I understand the players very well. Young players want to be the backbone of the team, and they want to switch from a strong team that is difficult to get ahead to a weak team. This is just a manifestation of self-motivation. I will not stop them. On the contrary, I am willing to match them. If they continue to play in the Rockets, they may be substitutes for the rest of their lives. This is also a waste of talent."

"The little boss really has a lot of adults." Dawson's flattery was also sincere.

"However, this will increase our workload. Old man, please let the team that is interested in them propose some trade plans, and I will consider them as appropriate. Of course, what is more urgent is that the 5th position must be filled. Battelle is too slow, Varejao is too young, and we need a player to act as Yao's substitute."

"Does the boss have any candidates?" Dawson asked, he was completely used to exploring according to Yuan Fei's thinking first.

"In the free player, the Eagle's Jorparzbira, the Nugget's Chris Anderson, the Warriors 'Eric Tanpier, and the Spurs' Robert Holy can consider it. Some, such as Tanpier, may be far beyond the price we can get out. The leader of the locker room in the team, Dickenbe Matombo is worth considering. Please go to inquire with the Bulls. "

"I'll do it right away, I won't be able to make calls in the office today!" Dawson expressed his determination.

***
Two days later.

"Boss, I have already talked about the work you arranged, and now I will report to you the progress." Dawson said respectfully. His respect for Yuanfei not only stems from the employment relationship, but also from the heart. "Dampier's psychological price far exceeds the highest offer we can give. And Hawley seems to have initially reached an intention to renew the contract with the Spurs."

"Whether the Spurs implemented the team option before and lost Hawley's remaining one-year contract of about 600 million yuan, and now they want to renew the contract with Hawley, it seems that an agreement must be reached to reduce the salary." Yuan Fei shook his head and sighed: "I really admire Popovich. He can always persuade players to willingly cut salaries to assist the team. Our road is also blocked."

"However, the last two candidates seem to be in play. Both Chris Anderson and Joel Przybilla are interested in signing as free agents."

"Wait, after careful consideration in the past few days, I decided to give up Anderson." Yuan Fei suddenly interrupted: "Some reports show that he may have personality problems. Przybila can continue to talk about it." This decision was actually made because he suddenly recalled a trivial incident in his previous life. On January 2006, 1, "Birdman" Anderson was banned by the league for 27 years for taking prohibited drugs.

"Another job: Mutombo's remaining one-year contract is about $1 million. Joe Johnson alone, the salary can't match. The Bulls want us to trade Joe with Anderson Varejao."

"What? What else are they offering us? A first-round pick?"

"No, nothing. I think it was the last time Yao traded for Williams. They suffered a big loss and didn't dare to make a deal with us." Dawson explained: "We are no different than before. We are already a championship team. Other teams are very cautious in making deals with us, especially afraid of helping us strengthen and dominate the league again. Such an 'assist' will become the target of public criticism in the league."

"Two young players exchanged for a 38-year-old man. They are really crazy. This deal is too far from my expectations, so veto it." Yuan Fei decided to stop.

"The last item, many teams are very interested in Joe and Tony, especially the Eagles are very interested at present." Dawson continued to report.

"It's easy to understand. The Hawks are currently in a chaotic rebuilding period. Last season, they had as many as 23 players. They traded many times before and after, replaced a lot of people, and their record is terrible. They will probably have to deal with all kinds of big contracts in the team and completely overthrow and rebuild. We will try our best to fight for their first-round picks. In addition to the Eagles, there are Bucks, Jazz, Hornets, and Bobcats. The first-round picks of these five teams next year are our primary goals." Yuan Fei made it clear to Dawson.

"However, the rebuilding team is eager for a first-round pick, and it is difficult for them to come up with this kind of bottom-of-the-box stuff."

"I know the difficulty. The Eagles are determined to rebuild, and it can be seen from the work in the past few months. They sent the top player Raheem and the main force Ratliff to the Blazers to trade the Roaring Tianzun, and then transferred Tianzun to the Pistons in exchange for a few garbage players and two draft picks. One of them was cashed in the draft for Josh Smith. I like this young player. These operations prove that they are determined to rebuild, and they will definitely continue to rot next year. Their first-round picks are very valuable. We must also show sincerity The deal can only be realized if you want to come." Yuan Fei thought for a while and said: "In order to strive for a successful deal, we can send out the first round of next year's Suns, our own first round and our own second round."

(Rule explanation: League regulations do not allow teams to send out first-round picks for the next two consecutive years. The Rockets sent their first-round picks in 03 and used their first-round picks in 04 to win Varejao. They can continue to send out first-round picks in 05 for trade, but they cannot send out first-round picks in 06.)

"It should be fine!" Dawson said confidently.

***
Just half an hour later, Dawson's call came.

"Boss, the Eagles let go, and the details are still under discussion."

Yuan Fei put down the phone and shouted excitedly: "Yeah!"

The difficult team building work this summer starts from this moment!

　Some book friends began to discuss how to build a team to better enhance their strength. I think this is very good.If the majority of fans can love the NBA, be keen to discuss NBA-related knowledge, and have less mutual criticism, the fan circle will be much better.
