The Rest, Only Noise

The price must be increased, but with the chips currently proposed by the Cavaliers, how else can the price be increased?

They took out the best young player on the team and $600,000 in cash.

If there is a price increase, it can only increase the amount of cash and give an extra young player.

Thinking of this, Harry Weltman began to ache.

If he wants to increase the cash, he has to ask his boss for instructions.

Before he took over the Cavaliers, the owner of the Cavaliers, Gordon Gunder, gordongander, was a businessman who didn't see the hawks. However, the league is reluctant to lose Cleveland's market.

In the early 1980s, Cleveland was not like it was known as the Ke Village a few decades later. Although the city is no longer the heyday of the 1960s, it is also an industrial city and has a reputation as a sports city. But it's not easy to find a pick for the Cavaliers. Gund initially didn't want to take the pick because he couldn't see the future, so Stern decided to sell an additional first-round pick to the Cavaliers to ensure that they could strengthen through the draft.

This isn't the first time Gund has done this. He likes to buy struggling companies cheaply, help them change the status quo, and sell them at a high price.

Today, the Cavaliers are in desperate need of rebuilding, but the front office blew up another deal, nearly handing New York a first-round pick that could become the No. 1 overall pick this year and next.

So buying the No. 2 overall pick from the 76ers is their best way to change the status quo.

Gund was unhappy with the cash increase, but he knew the Cavaliers needed Philadelphia's No. 2 pick if they wanted to regain their competitiveness.

"Listen, I'll only give $800,000 at most," Gund threatened over the phone. "I've paid a lot for this shit, and if the results don't satisfy me, you idiots better get yourself another one. boss!"

Wiltman was scolded.

The results were good, at least Gund was willing to spend an additional $200,000.

After internal resource integration, Weltman made a final offer.

Pat Williams waited for the call from the Cavaliers.

That's why he made that call to the Cavaliers, the Knicks had a good bid, arguably very good, and if there wasn't a contender like Cleveland, it might have been done by now. However, both of them have a must-have determination for the No. 2 pick.

Because the Knicks want to see the Cavaliers continue to suck, so they can make sure the Cavaliers will send them another top-seven pick next year.

If the Cavaliers want to change this predicament, they will naturally pursue the No. 2 pick at all costs.

No one is in a better position than the 76ers to watch New York and Cleveland bite each other and see who can bid more.

"Harry, if your offer is higher than New York"

"Don't talk about Pat, I still understand the principle of the highest bidder." Weltman said heavily, "We decided to change the bid to Roy Hinson, Phil Hubbard, PhilhubbardsF and 800,000. cash."

Williams took a deep breath, Cleveland was crazy.

"Pat, you don't have any reason to reject us again!" Wiltman was very dissatisfied, "Make a deal!"

At this moment, Williams wanted to nod in agreement.

However, as a mature manager, he knew he shouldn't say yes right away.

Who can guarantee that New York will not return a higher price?

"Harry, I believe that no one can make a higher offer than you, but I need to discuss this with others!"

"**!" Wiltman lost his temper, "This is all we can give, if you call me next time and tell me that you got a higher offer, then I can only congratulate you! No! , if you get a higher offer, I hope you don't call me and just make a deal with the **** LittleLu!"

LittleLu? Wasn't Elgin Baylor the one who had been negotiating with him?

Although Louie is the general manager of the Knicks, in many cases, Baylor is running things in management.

Louis only understands the details behind the scenes, and does not show up for unnecessary situations. He was most active last season when Debusschere was around, and he was basically in charge of player transactions.

After Baylor came, he was less active.

Therefore, many teams regard Baylor as the Knicks' de facto general manager.

"I understand your difficulties, and I believe we will be able to get a result that satisfies both parties."

"hope so!"

Pat Williams hung up.

He began to struggle, Cleveland's latest chip offering, mainly in cash, increased by $200,000, and the extra player didn't make him happy.

The Knicks are only willing to pay $500,000 in cash, but their players are very tempting.

Williams called current Sixers head coach Matt Gokas, who wanted to hear from his coach.

"Mr. Katz has made it clear that unless there is an irresistible option, we should focus on cash, and Roy Hinson looks very good." Gokas believes that this bid should have a result, "I Think New York won't raise their offer any more."

Gokas is right, the Knicks don't have to take the second pick. The main reason they want the second pick is that Cleveland wants it. They were originally a playoff team, with 50 wins last season, and the team is full of young people, patiently waiting for the young people to grow up, the future is promising.

They have no reason to do this kind of deal that hurts the enemy first.

"You're right."

Williams thinks he's got results.

He decided to close the deal with the Cavaliers, and when he picked up the phone, for some reason, he called the Knicks office.

"Can we agree, Pat?" Baylor asked optimistically.

"I'm sorry Elgin, because Cleveland has upped their game, so"

"What are you kidding?!"

"That's what happened, Elgin, they raised the offer, a better offer." Williams decided to do what he thought was right.

The right thing is to strive for as many benefits as possible.

"If you guys can increase the cash amount, maybe we can close the deal."

"Damn, is it all about money? How much did they give!?"

"1000000."

Pat Williams was not blushing or panting.

"Then I can only congratulate you on a perfect deal, bye!"

Baylor hung up the phone as if out of control.

The only thing Pat Williams has to do now is wait, the Knicks may not make any more bids, there may be, maybe even a crazier fourth player than New York, and he has to wait.

In the New York office, Baylor and the others looked at each other.

"What's next?"

$1 million is outrageous!

"Is Cleveland really that crazy? The transaction funds granted to us above are only $800,000." Zhao Yuanzheng couldn't believe that the Cavaliers could be more arrogant than the Knicks.

Louis walked to the vending machine silently and bought another bottle of Coke.

The third bottle today.

With one hand, he twisted the easy-pull open.

"No," said Louie, holding a Coke.

"What's wrong?"

"The Coke is wrong." Louie emptied the freshly opened Coke into the trash. "It's a **** remake again!"

Louie bought a fourth bottle in dismay.

"Lu, do we have to follow up?" Baylor said. "It's a little too big."

"If you believe Cleveland made $1 million, you're not going to understand," Louie said.

"What's the meaning?"

"Cleveland's cash is higher than ours, that's for sure. But we've already paid $500,000. Based on previous negotiations, the Cavaliers' cash should be between $500,000 and $600,000. Even if the price is raised again, It's not going to hit a million all at once, that is." Louie put the Coke on the table, "so I guess the Cavaliers should be bidding between $700,000 and $800,000, they know that what Philadelphia wants most is cash, Once the cash reaches that number and the chips we offer are not sufficiently tempting, the Philly office will fall to Cleveland, which has more cash."

Hearing this, Zhao Yuanzheng said excitedly: "Since this is the case, we also have a fund of 800,000 US dollars, and we can completely bid with them!"

"No, I don't want to use the money power. That's not what money is used for. Cleveland is willing to pay so much money because they have nothing, so they can only use money." Louis sat on his desk, picked up the phone, "Everyone, the general attack has begun."

About 15 minutes later, Pat Williams received a call from the Blue Palace in New York. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com

To his surprise, the caller this time was not Baylor, but the Knicks general manager "LittleLu", "Messiah", "Light Chaser", whatever you want to call him.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Williams, Elgin's mood is not convenient for negotiation, let me talk to you on his behalf." Louis said politely.

Williams said: "You can't ask for it, Coach Lu."

Louie has been known in professional basketball circles since 1980.

The story of his urging Sampson to run for election is a well-known story in the circle.

As a scout's ability to touch gold, it is also reflected in New York, and the young people under him are all good candidates.

For him, Williams had a good impression but at the same time did not dare to be careless.

Can Auerbach be regarded as a successor, will it be a good stubble?

"Pat, I think you must be wondering why we want No. 2 when we already have No. 1 on our hands."

"In order for Cleveland to keep sending you the top seven picks?"

"They even traded Roy Hinson. Will getting the No. 2 pick get the team out of the quagmire? No, whoever they get will still give us a good pick next year. "

Louie's words made Williams curious.

Why is New York wading into muddy waters?

"I think that since Coach Lu is willing to talk to me, he must want to tell me the reason."

"Don't worry, Pat, we have a long time, let me tell you a story."

At this time, in Louie's office, Tomjanovich just went to the training ground to do other things. He heard that Louie was going to make up a story. Oh no, tell a story, so he hurried over to listen.

"Has it begun?" he asked.

Zhao Yuanzheng smiled and said, "You came at the right time!"
