From Today it is the King of the Basketball

Danny Angie, the draft pick, is well-deserved.

Danny Angie, who was in Chicago but not in the same hotel as the Eagles, was a little stunned to hear the "beeping" sound of being hung up on the phone.

Why not play according to the routine?

Dealing with Antoine Walker is very annoying for Angie. Although he feels that anyone can trade, Antoine Walker is a little different. This is the first choice he chose to join the Celtics management after he retired. This rookie, of course, chose Antoine Walker and failed to get Kobe. It seems to be a failure, but Antoine Walker was one of the first players of the 96 generation to be selected as the All-Star. As early as that time, it seemed that Kobe Bryant, who became the All-Star starter on the bench, was not considered. Antoine Walker was regarded as the best player of the 96th generation at that time, because he was a solid player who can be coached in an Eastern Lotto team. We chose to be All-Star players.

This also made Angie's draft vision recognized by the Celtics management, and he naturally became the Celtics' general manager.

But then Ron Mossel came, and Pierce came immediately afterwards. Pierce was okay. He played shooting guard early, but Ron Mossel was the kind of mature player who entered the NBA at the peak of the standard. Towan Walker was forced to move from small forward to power forward.

This is the beginning of Antoine Walker's ability to become an All-Star from the second grade, and then slowly fall. Antoine Walker is also very declining. He is alive from a small forward to a power forward. He also played a point guard and practiced. He averaged 5+ assists per game, also played a center, and also tried shooting guards. He lively honed his fans to become a "million dollar oil". In the same way, he also practiced his wave of play, thinking he was in In his second year, he also had a 42 + 37 field goal percentage.

In 2006, the Heat won the championship season, Antoine Walker has already passed the peak period, and can average 12 points per game as the main small forward in the Heat, which proves that he sacrificed a lot.

Just like now, Anji is determined to trade Antoine Walker, which is not his voluntary. The beginning of everything is after the Nets swept out of the game at the end of April, Antoine Walker submitted a transaction application, still in front of the media. Said his own voice.

"I'm tired of living alone in Boston. I don't want me to continue to live like this in the future. I have waited for a long time, but Paul still hasn't been able to grow up. I want to change the environment ..."

As soon as this statement came out, Angie knew that the era of the Celtics Gemini was over.

As everyone knows, Pierce felt that he was hurt when he heard what Antoine Walker said to the media. He didn't grab the power because he was looking after Antoine Walker.

However, both of them did not understand each other's ideas. Both were accommodating each other because of their young friendship. Instead, they became increasingly dissatisfied with each other but it was not easy to say clearly, and finally broke out directly.

Sometimes you do n’t ask, others do n’t say, and the breakdown of the relationship suddenly erupts.

Probably this is the reason why Pierce can become the boss of the Celtics Big Three in the future with the youngest one.

In the next three years of the Big Three, everyone said that Pierce is the boss, Pierce is the soul of the Green Army. This should not be the focus. Pierce's soul of the Green Army is a title that he only had after he led the Celtics to win the championship. He was the clear boss of the Big Three from the beginning.

At that time, Garnett ’s prestige in the NBA was almost equal to that of James in 2010. The data was day by day, and his personal performance was terrible, but most of the postseason results were average, but Garnett was then the top three superstars in the entire league. In the previous nine seasons, he averaged 22 + 12 + 5 per game. In the 2006-07 season, he still averaged 22.4 points, 12.8 rebounds, 4.1 assists, 1.5 steals, and 1.7 blocks. He ranked third in the league, second only to Kobe over James. Ranked second in the strength list.

Pierce is only the top five star in the small forward position. The two are not at the same level, but Pierce insists on the position of boss, mainly because Pierce is in the formation of the Big Three because of the influence of Antoine Walker, who was an absolute boss. When I was faceless, I had to establish my position as the boss, and I did n’t want to happen to Antoine Walker again.

Of course, Pierce ’s approach was successful. From the beginning, the dispute about the ownership of the ball was eliminated, the situation in the first year of the formation of the Heat Big Three was avoided, and the first year of cooperation between James and Wade was avoided because they both gave the ball. Rights, leading to the collapse of the finals.

When Antoine Walker's statement came out, Angie didn't feel too sentimental, and immediately decided to overthrow the reconstruction!

Use Antoine Walker for the draft pick!

Anji has an inexplicable love for the draft pick. Using Antoine Walker as a bargaining chip to change the draft pick is also a good way.

But Antoine Walker's transaction value is far below Anji's expectations.

The NBA ’s rule is that when a team does not enter the playoffs or is eliminated after the playoffs, it can negotiate with other teams that have ended the season. Of course, it is an oral agreement. The real deal can only be until the rest. The season, or the trade with the draft right, can be after the finals and before the draft.

To Anji's expectation, two months later, there were few teams inquiring about Antoine Walker.

There were two teams that were really interested in Antoine Walker. Officially, they were the pioneers who were also preparing to rebuild. They wanted to exchange Rashid Wallace for Antoine Walker. For This deal, Anji said NO.

From the perspective of lineup and strength alone, the combination of Pierce and Rashid Wallace is perfect, but Rashid Wallace's reputation is now too bad, stabbing, tumors, anyway, hinder the team harmony, trading Can't trade out.

Anji chose to refuse.

After the Western Conference ended, the Mavericks also found Anji and proposed a trading plan.

Reeve LaFrenz dominated, plus two additional salary balances, plus the Mavericks' first-round draft pick in 2004.

After experiencing the coldness of the trading market, Anji did not directly reject the Mavericks this time, but first put the transaction on hold.

Fortunately, the Mavericks are the first team willing to give up draft picks. The other teams want to exchange Antoine Walker with a bunch of players they do n’t want.

And Anji did not want to use a tumor player to exchange for another tumor or a bunch of junk contracts.

Mainly, LaFrenz is also pretty good. A great center. During the four-year rookie contract, he was also a high-quality shooting center with an average of 13 + 7.5 per game. Otherwise, the Mavericks will not send an exaggeration last summer. A 7-year 70 million contract digs him.

It's just that LaFrenz arrived at the Mavericks. It's far from playing as well as the Nuggets during the rookie contract. Both he and Nowitzki need outside space, and the two positions overlap.

Angie was originally ready to wait until the summer. If Antoine Walker could not get a better return, he would trade with the Mavericks. I didn't expect the Hawks to come to the door.

The Eagles had the title of big fat sheep in the past few years. Anji was going to slaughter. What made him unexpected was that the other party heard the asking price of his big lion and hung up the phone directly.

After hesitating for a while and looking at the time, Anji saw himself recalling the past that he and Antoine Walker had grown up in the status of management and players. After half an hour passed, Anji took out his phone and dialed out again .

Draft right! Only the Eagles are willing to give two picks!

...

On the Hawks, coach Kruger and Price waited anxiously and walked back and forth.

But Liu Mang ordered a bunch of food. More than 20 minutes later, the waiter delivered the big meal to Price's room. Anyway, the team paid to catch the expensive point.

"Aise, do you still have something to eat?" Coach Kruger couldn't help talking when Liu Mang cut the steak into small pieces.

Coach Kruger used to be a college coach. Without this kind of trading experience, Price is the type that feels that the offer is acceptable and directly agrees. At this time, he can't concentrate.

"Relax, he will definitely call ..."

Before Liu Mang had finished, Coach Kruger's cell phone rang.

Liu Mang pouted at the cell phone on the table, meaning: look, I said he would call again.

A few in the room wouldn't do business at all. They all looked at Liu Mang in surprise. Liu Mang said: "Coach, or you come, you say ... bad signal."

"..." Is this an excuse for people to find!

Coach Kruger organized the language, connected the phone and turned on the hands-free: "OH ...... I'm so sorry Danny, I just ran out of mobile phone, this was just charged, I originally planned to give you back, I did not expect you to first Called over. "

"It doesn't matter. I just thought about it for a while. Maybe I want too much and it's a little rude. The first round of this year is indeed too precious, so I think I can change to another chip."

Coach Kruger didn't expect that, as Liu Mang said, the opponent really retreated, so he smiled and said: "Other chips? Danny, if you want Ace, it's not okay. He's our non-sale product."

"Haha, Lang, you ’re so kidding, I wo n’t delay your time. You should also be preparing for the joint trial tomorrow. I thought about it, do n’t start the first round of this year, use your Taishaun-Pu Lins ... "

"Toot toot ..."

Liu Mang hung up the phone again: "Come on, let's eat something. We may have to negotiate for a while, don't feel dizzy for a while."

Several other people calmed down this time and all sat down to eat. The coaching staff was okay. They were not good at this kind of thing. It was just that Price, who had been the boss for several years, found that he did n’t even have one. Young man in his early 20s talks about business!

This kind of bargaining is mainly due to thick skin, otherwise it is really embarrassing to ask for such a thing.

Of course, such a thing as bargaining for death also requires a thick face ...

...

"Aisi, I bought the repeater. What do you want this for?" Price took the repeater from the team staff and handed it to Liu Mang.

"Recording! What if we repent after we talked to him? Legally speaking, the promise of recording dialogues has legal effects. I do n’t know what the NBA rules are, but I ’m sure there will be For insurance, Anji will definitely call back. This time it is almost time to start real negotiations. BOSS, coach. If there is a formal negotiation in a while, follow what I said ... "

Watching Liu Mang skillfully put the tape into the repeater, the few people next to him were tight, and they must not be caught by this kid!

With this skill and rich experience, I have never done such a thing!

Liu Mang is so skillful in operating the repeater completely because it is the most precious "high-tech product" he has ever had in his childhood. Before the popularity of lithium electronic MP3s, battery-based MP3s are more popular at this stage, and now Many of the MP3s do not have a recording function, and the recorder is not available for purchase this year. Especially in the US-emphasized country, Liu Mang directly asked the staff to buy a repeater and tape.

Regarding the game of this transaction, Liu Mang's idea is simple.

Anji first wanted the 2006 draft pick that the Hawks drafted in 2003 and the 2004 Spurs and Hawks draft pick.

The three first rounds directly changed Rashid Wallace, and also allowed the Blazers to eat the spicy chicken contract. The Blazers would agree, Liu Mang hung up the phone without hesitation.

This is mainly due to the pick of the 14th pick in the first round in 2003. This is the top priority. If the lottery team misses a player who was originally regarded as a lottery rookie, this position is the best. The chance of picking up a leak may be a future Kobe, maybe?

The second time Anji actually wanted Prince, in Liu Mang's view, Prince is more valuable than the mid-2003 draft pick!

Although 2003 is a big draft year, but the talented future is good, basically concentrated in the lottery area, the lottery area is particularly small, really want to find, in addition to Korver and Josh Howard, everyone else and Hepu It is difficult to find Lins who has comparable qualifications.

Josh Howard, one of the candidates that Liu Mang is considering recommending to management ~ www.readwn.com ~ and Korver is at the end of the second round, the Hawks already have a second pick in the second round. It is possible to disassemble this draft right transaction. If there is no accident, Korver can be selected, and Korver's draft market is very impressive.

So this time, Liu Mang hung up the phone again.

Before waiting for Anji to call, a group of Hawks ate first. Liu Mang also called Leviaia, helped them order what they liked, and then asked the waiter to pack it up and asked the staff to buy it. A repeater.

Everything is ready, just wait for Anji to call again.

Liu Mang was too impressed with Anji, a general manager with a pick-and-pick picking habit, and no doubt Anji was a very good coach. The Celtics have been bleak and terrible since the crash in the late 1980s, when Anji took over The mess is still a mess with three talented small forwards. I do n’t know how to deal with the players who overlap in these three positions. Then I sent Antoine Walker away, collected potential young players for several years, and then used This group of players changed to Garnett and Ray Allen in 2007, proving that his approach is correct, and the future of using the team soul and Garnett to exchange for a large number of drafts in the Nets is also a proof of his ability. .

Therefore, Liu Mang is very certain that when there are two first rounds and even a third draft pick, Anji cannot be indifferent!

Because Walker can't get more drafts than this.

Liu Mang sat steadily on Mount Tai. The few people beside him finished their lunch, but Anji did n’t call and started to feel anxious again.

Finally, at three o'clock in the afternoon, probably Anji took a nap and thought about it? Coach Kruger's cell phone finally came to mind.

In this conversation, both parties became "sincere" and "harmonious" a lot ...
