Guard With a Knife

When Reinsdorf got the news from Gary Forman, he was taken aback.

He fell into an unprecedented panic: why? Why did Snoopy leave? Are we not doing well enough? Haven't we already publicly canceled the deal? We even offended everyone in the Golden State front office with this, isn't it enough?

The owner of the Bulls can be considered a well-informed figure, and he has also experienced the heavy blow of the basketball god's retirement.

But this time, it's completely different. Snoopy actually asked to trade himself directly, and there was no room for negotiation.

He really didn't understand what he wasn't doing well enough.

Gary Foreman shook his head.

In fact, he also thought for a long time before he figured out the reason why the Duke made this decision: We underestimated the relationship between him and Derrick Rose.

And, most importantly. We have been thinking about the whole deal in an American mind, and we think it's all for his own good. But in fact, he doesn't need this. Between maximizing profit and emotional morality, he chose the latter.

He is a typical Chinese.

Gary Foreman said seriously.

This conclusion made Reinsdorf's eyes widen, and he still felt unbelievable. He was still thinking: Derek is your brother, isn't Stephen Curry who was traded?

Is there really no way to keep it? Reinsdorf continued.

Gary Foreman thought for a while, then took out a piece of paper from his bag, and put it on the table respectfully: This is my resignation report. Unfortunately, I can't make Snoopy by myself. The decision to trade, I don't want to add such an obvious stain to my resume.

I think what you should do now is call Derrick Rose and Mr. Tom Thibodeau together and ask them which direction the Bulls should go next, and then use Snoopy, the most valuable player in NBA history. Make the decision that is best for you.”

Trust me. As long as coach Thibodeau formulates a tactical system, he can get any star he wants, including LeBron James and Kevin Durant.

As the general manager of the Bulls, Gary Foreman fulfilled his duties and gave his last piece of advice: If you seize this opportunity, the Bulls will still be the most powerful team to win the championship.

talking,

He leaves Reinsdorf's office.

He doesn't want to bear the eternal infamy, and Donny Walsh's lesson is not far away. Any general manager who trades Snoopy is unlikely to be appreciated, even if Snoopy offered it this time.

Tom Thibodeau soon arrived at the boss's office, and when he learned that Snoopy had asked for a trade, he was taken aback. Without any pretense at all, he, a sixty-year-old bachelor, slumped on a chair, speechless for a long time.

His relationship with Snoopy is complicated.

In the beginning, he, who had been an assistant coach for more than 20 years, couldn't wait to gain power, so he made a lot of overt or covert moves against the Duke. But in the end, he inevitably became a loser.

Just when he was about to leave with regret, Snoopy extended his hand of friendship to him again. Since then, he has reached the pinnacle of his life, entered the finals for three consecutive years, the head coach with the highest winning percentage in history, and the best coach for two consecutive times... Various awards and praises have been softened.

Frankly speaking, he was used to being with the Duke, and he found that he and Snoopy were a match made in heaven: one was good at defense and the other was good at offense. One is good at rigid tactical system, and the other is good at ingenuity.

He originally thought that he could live and fly with the Duke forever.

As a result, when he was about to win two championships and was about to move towards the dynasty, such a blow suddenly came.

Snoopy... Is Snoopy really leaving? He asked in surprise.

Yes.

Derek Rose's cold and introverted voice came from outside the door. He also ran over after receiving a call from his boss.

Frankly speaking, he really hoped that the person who left was himself.

But now, Snoopy voluntarily withdraws. He knew better than anyone that the Duke was taking the initiative to perfect himself. After all, where else in the league is a stronger lineup than the Bulls? Going to the Warriors is at most rebuilding the core, while staying in Chicago is the core of winning the championship. There is no comparison between the two.

Therefore, for Snoopy's decision, he felt extremely guilty and remorseful.

Seeing Derrick Rose come in, Reinsdorf's expression was very unnatural, he was a little upset, more embarrassing.

Deep down in his heart, of course, he was more inclined to send Rose away. But now that Ross has stayed, the future will definitely depend on him, and he made a big deal before, which is considered a bad person.

Fortunately, Derrick Rose didn't care about these.

They quickly negotiated.

Thibodeau believes that the defensive and offensive power of the interior should be strengthened. He is a very traditional head coach. He doesn't want to follow the current fast small ball style. He still thinks that the insider wins the world.

Although the Bulls now have Joakim Noah and Carlos Boozer. But if it can be increased, why not do it?

Carlos Boozer is definitely going to be traded away. Reinsdorf said with a final word: He is a garbage contract who only knows how to flatter Snoopy. This year he offended all the bosses in the Dream Team , I don't want him to bring James Durant's wrath back to the United Center.

Reinsdorf's words set the tone for the next deal, which is to use Snoopy and Boozer's junk contract to exchange for a super inside star.

There are actually many choices in front of the bull

Dwight Howard, Marc Gasol, Pau Gasol, Tyson Chandler, Stoudemire, Zach Randolph, Nowitzki...  

As long as the Bulls let go of the deal, the owners of these teams can't wait to push these players to the trading table.

What Gary Forman said is true, as long as the Bulls want, they can get any player.

Doesn't Kevin Durant consider it? Reinsdorf suddenly asked.

Tom Thibodeau also frowned. Durant's style of play is plug-and-play, he can both lay down and fast break, and he can partner with Westbrook, and the cooperation with Derrick Rose will definitely not be a problem.

Just, before Tom Thibodeau answered.

Derrick Rose made it clear: I don't want to partner with any player between Kevin Durant and LeBron James. This will make me feel weird.

Also, I don't think Snoopy would agree to such a deal.

Ross wants to focus on the latter sentence.

He knew that either LeBron or Durant would give the Bulls an advantage, but he didn't want to play with Snoopy's old nemesis. There is no extra reason, just one word: love!

The relationship between him and the Duke can be learned from heaven.

With Derek's direct opposition, the Bulls' trading ideas were immediately finalized: mainly to supplement super insiders. Supplemented by flanking 3D players.

When the Bulls' core team cleared up their ideas, someone soon implemented them.

And while they are starting to spread the word and make contact with their favorite team.

An earthquake-like four-party deal broke out in the NBA.

After Howard tossed for almost two seasons, Orlando finally couldn't stand it. The keen Lakers seized the opportunity, and they once again got the league's first center from the Magic through a four-way deal.

In this blockbuster deal involving the Lakers, Magic, 76ers, and Nuggets, the Lakers sent Andrew Bynum, Mike Roberts, Ienga and the 2015 protected second-round pick and 2017 protected first-round pick. Get: Howard, Earle Clarke and Duhon.

The Magic sent Dwight Howard, Clarke, Duhon and Jason Richardson. Get Afflalo and Harrington from the Nuggets, Harkless and Vucevic from the 76ers, and Mike Roberts and Ienga from the Lakers. In addition, there are 2013 second-round picks (Nuggets), 2014 first-round picks (Nuggets), 2015 protected first-round picks (76ers), 2015 protected second-round picks (Lakers) and 2017 protected First round pick (Lakers).

The other two participants, the 76ers sent Iguodala, Harkless, Vucevic and the 2015 protected first-round pick to get Bynum and Jason Richardson. The Nuggets sent Afflalo, Harrington, the 2013 second-round pick and the 2014 first-round pick to get Iguodala.

It's a take what you want deal.

The Magic got rid of Howard's endless fuss and got a lot of newcomers and draft picks. The Lakers formed a new F4 lineup: Kobe, Nash, Pau Gasol, and Dwight Howard. As for the 76ers and the Nuggets, each takes what they need and gets what they want.

In a sense, this is a win-win, happy deal for all.

However.

On the afternoon of the day when the deal was completed, the explosive news from Chicago made the people of Orlando regret it until their guts turned green.

Because, ESPN revealed that the absolute core of the Chicago Bulls, the two-time Finals MVP winner Snoopidoo, is seeking a deal, and the Bulls hope to use him to trade a super insider.

Isn't this tailor-made for the Magic?

Who else is more worthy of being a super insider than Howard? ? ?

But now, he has gone to the Lakers.

For a moment, the letter beginning with F was hovering over the entire Orlando. If it can be exchanged for Snoopy, who the hell wants these potential players and draft picks. Snoopy is a super cornerstone that is rare in a century.

Still, the most curious thing is: Why is Snoopy seeking a deal? Was he unhappy with the Bulls? Or is this just fake news? ? ?

Frankly speaking, at that moment, everyone's first thought was doubt.

After all, the Duke and the Bull are now at the stage of mutual achievement and climbing the highest peak, and there is no reason to break up.

At this time, a fund manager named West walked into the Lakers club. He was about to talk to the president of the Lakers. He was full of confidence and crazy.
