You are the pearl, Mo Mengchen

Chapter 443 Retrograde History

After signing a contract renewal agreement with Mo Mengchen, Osgers finally settled a concern, and the process went smoothly. The two parties did not go through many negotiations, and they went straight to each other, and the matter was resolved on the same day.

Afterwards, Parton had something to leave, and Mo Mengchen went to Osgers' home for dinner that night.

"If you are really sincere, you should find a better restaurant."

Mo Mengchen believes that Osgers is a clean person, but he always feels unsafe to eat at other people's homes.

Every clean freak feels that he is the most hygienic person in the world, other people are pathogens, and the house where other people live is a heavily polluted area.

Now, strictly speaking, Mo Mengchen is not considered a clean freak, because playing basketball on the court inevitably requires contact with people. As time goes by, he no longer regards hygiene as a big thing, unless it is in his own home.

"Sarah's cooking is the best of any woman I've ever seen, you'll know it when you try it."

Sarah was his wife, who looked five or six years younger than him, and was actually older, according to Osgers.

"Are you kidding me?"

Osgers is only in his early 30s this year, and Sarah is a pure Caucasian. With the usual short shelf life of white girls, how can she maintain such a good life at the age of 35?

"It's amazing, right?" Osgers was also very proud.

It is indeed amazing, Mo Mengchen sincerely hopes that Ephraim and Sievers can also have such a long shelf life.

Ephraim is currently at the prettiest age, because European and American women’s appearance peaks very early, Mo Mengchen must maintain a pessimistic mentality, for example, Ephraim will change from Monica Bellucci to into papi sauce.

According to Sievers, she will be 30 years old next year, and the outcome will be seen by then.

As for Madeira Mo Mengchen, she deliberately ignored this matter.

He still can't believe that he had a relationship with Madeira.

"Mo, why did you add so many player options?"

Before Sarah prepared dinner, Osgers took the initiative to talk to Mo Mengchen about today's contract renewal.

Osgers is not a professional sports management person. He doesn't understand Mo Mengchen's approach: "Isn't your future in Detroit?"

"Why do you say that?" Mo Mengchen asked.

Osgers thinks this is obvious. He doesn't seem to deliberately increase those clauses in order to enjoy the first two years of the diminishing contract. If he wants to make a lot of money, the team can fully satisfy him, and there is no need to add these clauses.

Generally, player options are set in the year before the end of the contract, but Mo Mengchen's contract starts from the second year, and there are player options every year.

This is very free, so free that everyone in the management feels uncomfortable. Who knows when he will jump out of the contract?
What if the team doesn't have enough space at that time?What if the team can't meet his demands?
"You're going to put my successor on edge," Osgers said.

"In my opinion, your existence is more important than Grant Hill. We can lose Grant, but we can't lose you. It took you three years to turn the Pistons into your team. You brought A whole new culture that frees us from being a bad boy, and everyone is grateful to you."

"That's why we must keep you."

Osgers is sincere, if he hadn't worked in other parts before, Mo Mengchen would believe that this is his sincere words.

"Thank you, I appreciate it."

Mo Mengchen said politely, picked up the glass, there was a whole glass of wine in it, he drank half of the glass, and replied: "So far, my future is in Detroit."

"Then why."

"Time will give you the answer, Dean." Mo Mengchen said, "Why don't we talk about other things, you know, I am not the only one who needs to renew the contract."

This offseason, the Pistons have seven people who need to renew their contracts, one of whom has expired, and the other needs to consider whether to continue the final year of the contract.

These seven people are Mo Mengchen, Ben Wallace, Don Reed, Ratliff, Louis M. Lore, Chris Robinson and Joe Dumars who is facing player options.

"That's why I invited you to my house, it's airtight."

"Who do you think we need to keep?" Osger said.

Mo Mengchen recalled the names of the other six people except himself. To be cruel, Dumas and Robinson don't need to stay. A veteran and a pure shooter can only play in garbage time.

To be rational, the team needs a leader in the locker room and a strong character to lead the rookies.

No matter how you look at it, letting Dumars play out his final year should be the right thing to do.

"Ben and Theo." Mo Mengchen said.

Osgers was surprised that Mo Mengchen didn't let him keep all the other members of the '95 class.

"Where's Louis and Don?"

These few people joined the team with Mo Mengchen, and they have the best relationship with each other. Keeping them will be beneficial to Mo Mengchen.

"You can decide for yourself." Mo Mengchen said.

Osgers smiled, until now, Mo Mengchen was still saving face for him.

If he could make a decision, he wouldn't have to invite Mo Mengchen to his home. It's because this matter is very private and he can't decide it alone, so he needs someone who won't come up with bad ideas and has the same goals as him Give suggestion.

"I'm going to keep Louis and Ben," Osgers said.

Mo Mengchen suddenly felt that this conversation was not simple, that Osgers might be negotiating a big deal, and maybe he just missed the door.

"I think you should say more than that." Mo Mengchen's eyes were like stars in the sky, as if they could illuminate the dark night.

"Yes, I was about to tell you."

At this time, Sarah brought two plates of pasta, which looked like seafood.

"This is Sarah's specialty, try it." Osgers said with a smile.

Mo Mengchen picked up a fork and rolled up the noodles, saying, "I'm a little curious, don't whet my appetite."

"Yesterday, the general manager of the Wizards called me."

"They want to combine us with Portland and negotiate a big deal that's good for all three teams."

Mo Mengchen's mind was spinning, and he said, "I think, this deal should involve Theo and Tang?"

"That's right, Washington called for the two of them." Osgers ate the noodles, which looked really delicious.

For Mo Mengchen, the fishy smell was a bit strong, and he didn't like it.

Mo Mengchen is ready for Ratliff and Reid to leave the team, and he wants to know what the return will be.

"What can we get?" Mo Mengchen asked.

Osgers rolled up the noodles like Mo Mengchen, and said softly, "Rashid Wallace."

Rasheed Wallace, roaring Tianzun, forcing the four forwards, the person who speaks for basketball, you can call him whatever you want.

In the Trail Blazers, he started playing starters.Compared with his original teammate Stackhouse, his performance was quite mediocre.Reporters have little excuse to cheer him on because he's not going to score 40 points and 20 rebounds or something.

He's got the personality of a North Carolina guy: classic elite team play, solid skills, flair, and -- to put it negatively -- lazy when he needs to be selfish.He's the perfect team player, everyone says so, doesn't even look like a sophomore.

Trail Blazers fans who have never lost a game can occasionally see him play for fun-such as he is willing to dunk on the head of the league's top center, make a three-pointer or two against Reggie Miller, etc. .At times like this, he'll grin with that wide mouth for a moment, but then he'll focus on defense again.

This personality was evident as early as his rookie season.

The clues and trajectory of his career can be gleaned from his rookie season—unremarkable statistics, team leaps and bounds, off-court troubles, and youth and recklessness: He unwillingly made 65 three-pointers in 82 games. Divide the ball.

Washington obviously didn't realize the value of this teenager, or Webber's recovery made them feel that they don't need to spend extravagantly on the bench.

In the summer of 1996, Rasheed was sent to the Trail Blazers.

(In order to avoid repetition with Ben Wallace, from here on, Tianzun's title in the text is changed to Rashid)
In the history that Mo Mengchen is familiar with, Rasheed has been playing for many years with the Blazers, and even caused a lot of trouble for the Lakers in 2000, because he was a power forward who could pull up to the three-point line and shoot. .

Wait, if the Blazers shot Rasheed at this time, who did they get?
Mo Mengchen took a deep breath: "What did Portland get?"

"Mo, this is against the rules." Osgers wanted to show off.

"It's against the rules for you and me to talk about this here." Mo Mengchen didn't bother to greet him, "Who is it?"

Osgers continued to smile, but the answer he gave caused a storm in Mo Mengchen's heart: "Chris Weber."

"This is all the chips?"

"Yes."

That is:

The Pistons traded Theo Ratliff and Don Reid for Rasheed Wallace.

The Blazers paid Rasheed Wallace + draft picks and additions to get Chris Webber.

The Wizards paid Chris Webber for Theo Ratliff, Don Reid, draft picks and additions.

Judging from the later development of the players, the Pistons definitely made a profit, but looking at it now, this is a win-win deal.

Although the loss of Ratliff and Reed has damaged the depth of the Pistons, it has allowed them to get a power forward with excellent talent and immediate combat power. Start rebuilding, what about the Blazers?After getting Webber, they officially upgraded to the league's top team.

From now on, veteran teams such as the Lakers, Jazz, and SuperSonics will be restless because of the rise of the Trail Blazers.

What would a Webber + Sabonis combo look like?God knows.

We just need to know that Webber and Sabonis are basically the best passers ever at the same position.

In this way, it can basically be concluded that the most gorgeous Kings team in history will no longer exist, and history will be changed again.

"I heard that Rashid is a bit difficult to deal with." Mo Mengchen said with a smile.

"Is that a problem for you?" Osgers asked with a smile.

"of course not."

Mo Mengchen replied decisively.
