Chapter 33 I hate cutting meat

Is the general manager of NBA an idiot?

Of course not. Even if many people say that Isaiah Thomas is brainless, they are just hindsight. Many situations, according to the situation at that time, were indeed correct, but later the facts proved stupid to the end.

Let me give an example. For example, when the Hornets used Kobe's trade to Divac, Kobe was just a "good physical Peter Pan" at that time, while Divacs was an All-Star center. According to the situation at that time, the Hornets made a profit, but in the end, the Hornets lost to death. From the opposite perspective, if the Hornets refused this deal at the time, Kobe did not play in the Hornets in the end, and Divac and O'Neal formed a super double tower. At that time, I believe anyone would laugh at the Hornets for giving up the All-Star for a young boy.

Chris Wallace gave Gasol for free in 2007, which does not mean that he will agree to the deal soon. He is still considering because the Hornets' asking price is too high. The Hornets' final clear trading plan is Guy, Li Feng, Mark Gasol, Conley, Jaric, Chris Paul and Peja and Julian Wright who traded the Hornets.

The Hornets look quite kind, at least they leave Mayo for the Grizzlies, but this is just to get a big contract with Peja.

If this deal is reached, the Grizzlies can still strive for the championship around Paul, Mayo and Randolph, but Peja's big contract hinders the team's development. Chris Wallace was able to accept Kwame Brown because the contract was about to expire, but he refused to accept Peja's contract.

On the Hornets, they can rebuild around Guy, Li Feng, Collison and others. Getting rid of this Peja contract is equivalent to having a salary of nearly 20 million yuan. West and Okafor are not Peja, and they can trade many young players. Anyway, the Hornets have been bad, so they can accept this deal even if they send the Queen Bee away.

Of course, the most critical factor in the transaction is Li Feng. Li Feng’s data is Ben Wallace-like, but it can be seen from the game that his future is definitely not limited to Ben Wallace.

Chris Wallace is handed with head coach Wallace to report on the recent game. Li Feng has become more and more adapted to his inside role in the Grizzlies. He will take a new level almost every two or three games, and his performance in both attack and defense is better. Of course, offense refers to helping his teammates score.

This is the root of Wallace's delay in resolving. Is the exchange? The lineup of Paul + Mayo + Randolph has a fatal attraction, but he must pay nearly 30 million in luxury tax for this lineup, but if it succeeds, it seems to be very worth it. The success of the Celtics Big Three and Lakers All-Star lineup has seen the power of the superstar teaming up.

No one knows whether Korandolph can still support the Grizzlies' inside sky alone. This guy always has a kind of laziness, and no one can guess what he will do in the next second.

If they lose Li Feng and Marc Gasol at the same time, if they fail to succeed, the attack on the Grizzlies will be fatal. The constraints of the two major contracts of Randolph and Peja will inevitably make them unable to continue to strengthen their lineup. When Randolph's contract expires, nothing will be achieved, and Paul will definitely choose to find another place.

Paul got this deal, paid an unprecedented price, and seemed to face the threat of losing him again. This feeling made Wallace feel uncomfortable.

Rumors about the transaction began to appear in the basketball sections of many newspapers. This may be the most valuable piece of news before the start of the NBA regular season. Many media focused their attention on the Memphis Grizzlies.

Everyone wants to get news about the transaction as soon as possible. If the Grizzlies pay little, another strong team in the Southwest Division, even Paul + Randolph + Peja, can be said to be the Big Three, and anyone can imagine what a wonderful selling point this is.

Almost everyone was thinking about the power of this combination, but no one noticed why he was reluctant to make a decision when he resumed such a cost-effective deal.

The two Grizzly Main Men, Guy and Mayo, who were frequently mentioned in the transaction, became popular among the media. The reporters followed them tirelessly, ready to know whether they had changed their red underwear...

Mayo can still bear it, but Guy can't do it. As the boss of a team, he can only serve as one of the bargaining chips in the trade. How can Guy be happy?

Only another Li Feng, who was involved in the transaction rumors, was not harassed too much.

Li Feng accepted this happily. He was learning more from Mason during this period. Since Mason lives in Memphis, Li Feng would definitely not let him go.

Although Mason is not a good person, he is still very concerned about Li Feng. After receiving the news that Li Feng was traded, Mason was furious.

"Those bitches are raised, they don't know you at all. Many people are still waiting for you to joke with the regular season. They don't know the real strength of the insignificant Chinese people in their mouths..."

"Okay, Anthony, don't worry, even if I go to New Orleans, I don't have anything to worry about. Isn't it just a transaction? NBA is indispensable."

Because Liu Qiyu often instills in it, Li Feng also has a thorough understanding of this circle. He knows that this is a kind of transaction and has nothing to do with feelings.

After communicating with boss Michael Haasley in the Grizzlies' office, Chris Wallace and Hornets coach Dell Demps had final talks.

"Dell, finally we made our request, we can give up OJ, give up Mark, give up Mike, give up Sam, or even give up the striker, but we must definitely keep Rudy, this is Michael's request, and we must not peja and be willing to eat Emecca and Percy, this is our bottom line, man, you have made enough money, how about it?"

Chris is about to go crazy, and the boss has different opinions from him. Wallace wants to keep Li Feng, but the boss likes Guy. Is he also homosexual? He even has to think so and has to negotiate with the Hornets.

"Man, don't be excited, let's consider it again... Well, let's take a step back, let's not have Sam, you add Jaric, we are using Peja instead of Emecca, how about it?"

"Dell, this is not a step back. I'll say what's the point. Let's leave Rudy and Fighter and Zach, and you can choose the others. We're willing to swallow Peja and Percy, ok?"

"No, Chris, you're robbing. The striker belongs to us. Without the striker, there would be no deal. You must add the striker and swallow Peja and Percy. You don't want Chris, and others are still very interested, such as Houston and Dallas!"

Demps on the other end of the phone seemed like an angry lion, of course this was just a means to force Chris Wallace to compromise.

"Okay, man, do you know? When I sent Paul away, everyone said I was stupid. In fact, the price in Boston in the summer was not lower than that in exchange for Garnett, but I refused. Why, because the fuck was like you, I wanted to cut my flesh, Feng and Rudy stayed, you can choose the others, and you don't do anything to pull it off!"

"Chris, I think...we will still have a chance to cooperate next year!"

Hearing the sound from the other side of the phone, Chris Wallace hung up the phone, lit a cigar, and sat on the sofa in the office, smoking silently.
