Chapter 70

Let's move the location from Philadelphia in the north to Miami in the south.

Miami is the second largest city in Florida, located on Biscayne Bay on the Florida Peninsula. Miami is also the largest city in the South Florida metropolitan area.

The average temperature in January is 195 degrees.

But the temperature on the last day of January was a bit abnormal.

It just reached 10 degrees.

However, this is only the outdoor temperature

As an indoor four season, your guests will not feel freezing to the bone.

"That's the general manager of Philadelphia." Pat Riley, who didn't know why he appeared in the hotel, spotted Philadelphia's general manager Sam Hinkie at a glance.

"Long time no see, Sam, why did you come to Miami?"

"Long time no see, Pat. Boss Harris gave me a few days off. I didn't expect to meet you on my first day in Miami."

Sam, didn’t you come to Miami just to block him? Otherwise, why would you have come to Miami on the first day~~~~~Comments from a narrator.

"Sam, you are still young, do you have to eat so lightly? Pat Riley took a quick look and saw that the table was full of vegetarian dishes.

"Because we are on vacation, we cannot relax control over ourselves. Once we gain weight, our health will suffer." Xinji said some very irrelevant things.

"By the way, congratulations Sam, you found the cornerstone you wanted."

"One cornerstone is not enough. We have to wait for Embiid to come back before we can hit the Eastern Conference crown, so it really doesn't matter whether we taste the playoffs this season." For Hinkie, the more talent, the merrier is the most important thing.

"Then let's discuss something. Do you still have 5 million offline space?" Hearing this, Pat Riley suddenly remembered that he wanted to clear Chris Anderson's contract to reduce the luxury tax, but the Grizzlies actually asked him for it.

Unprotected first round.

"We are starting from 60.25 million and are 2.75 million away from the poverty line. Who do you want us to swallow?" Although collecting draft picks is for future planning, Hinkie cannot swallow junk contracts after 2016 now.

"Chris Anderson, $5 million expiring contract."

"The first round is a bit excessive, how about three unprotected second rounds and one protected second round." It is unrealistic to swallow 5 million to get someone out of the first round. Hinkie understands this very clearly, so

He asked for money starting with four second rounds.

"Four second rounds are too high. Chris's contract is not 10 million, but 5 million." Riley knew that Hinkie was asking for a sky-high price, but even four second rounds were better than one first round.

"If it weren't for the rich offer, I wouldn't be able to explain it to Young. He was working hard up front, and I changed hands and stuffed him with a garbage contract. If there was a falling out, Harris, my boss, would definitely be helping him and not me.

.”

"How about the two second rounds, 2021 and 2022. This is the greatest sincerity I can give." It is worthy of Lao Jianghu to cut half of the bid in one fell swoop.

"..."

"What I need to show Young now is that I am working hard to improve the team instead of continuing to accumulate talent. I can't let him think that I don't believe in his abilities."

"You should know this. After all, LeBron James and Wade, two superstars, have worked under you."

After putting two pieces of avocado into his mouth in succession, Xinji finally responded.

"Tyler Johnson is a second rounder." Anyway, Tyler Johnson was due to expire in the summer, and Riley didn't feel bad at all, so he took him out at this time.

"He doesn't really match up with Ismail Smith. If you replace him with a guard who can't shoot, he will probably be furious." Although they have only played a few games, the incompatibility between the styles of Ismail Smith and Young has already appeared.

came out.

"Then tell me, what do you want? You don't want Wade, do you?"

"Will you give me what I want?"

"Tell me about it."

"Winslow traded the first round of 2019." Tyler Johnson is about to be raised in price in the summer, and Hinkie will not take advantage of him if he has an inside source.

"I picked him with the No. 10 pick. If you tell me the price you offered, would I sell it?" Winslow was picked with the No. 10 pick, and it was just opened. Riley will not make a move easily.

"I believe you will sell. Now you need to keep your salary of nearly 90 million below the luxury tax line of 84.7 million, and the only players on your team who are close to 5 million are Chris Anderson and McRoberts."

McRoberts just suffered a torn meniscus and has three years left on his contract, so you can't sell him without adding a first-round pick."

"And I went to find out about Chris Anderson, and they were asking for a protected first-round price."

"Are you willing to send the first round in 2019 or later? If so, I won't say anything."

"If you don't want to, you can send away Winslow, who didn't even score 5 points in the first two months."

"By the way, what do you want to give me?" Riley changed his tone and turned to what the 76ers wanted to give.

"Ismael Smith or Chris Wood, one with 1.1 million and one with 310,000, are two contracts that expire in the same summer for you to choose from."

"If you don't want it, it's not a big problem. I can give you a signing right or a closely protected second-round pick. Of course, you can cut the 1.41 million for these two people." An old friend used two times in the summer.

Marshall was booked in the second round, so Hinkie had to waive Ishmael Smith, who had just arrived less than a month after two second rounds.

"I'm sorry that I cannot accept your terms. Although Winslow's statistics are not good, he is only 19 years old. Let's talk about it at another time. After all, this is not a formal occasion."

"Okay, there are still some days before the deadline next month." After saying this, Pat Riley left quickly.

"Hornets, Grizzlies, what's going on over there..." Riley made a call to his assistant general manager after leaving the hotel.

"Boss, we have reached an agreement with the people of Orlando. Regarding Nick's deal, it's a one-for-one exchange." After Pat Riley left, Hinkie appeared in the presidential suite on the roof of the building not long after.

"Why would they agree? This deal will drag them down for years." Hinkie's assistant was a little confused about Orlando agreeing.

"Orlandoans believe that it is worthwhile to exchange a scratched lottery ticket for a half-scratched lottery ticket. Even if it is also scratched, it will only be a waste of 3 million next year."

"Where are we going next? Back to Philadelphia?" After ending the original plan, Hinkie's assistant began to search for flight information.

"Turn on the TV and watch the game. Did you forget that we are playing the Warriors today? It is estimated that the second quarter is almost over now." After patting his assistant on the shoulder, Hinkie turned and walked towards the TV.

"hits the three..."

Looking at the figure of No. 22 hitting a three-pointer on the screen, Xinji sat on the bed and murmured something

"Isn't it a bit false to want Winslow? After all, it's only been two months and less than three months."

"Actually, I want Josh Richardson more."

…………

…………

It has to be said that information is the fastest in the information age. Just 10 minutes after the 76ers and Magic reached a deal, a reporter got accurate information.

shas charania:

The Philadelphia 76ers sent part of Nik Stauskas' cash to the Orlando Magic in exchange for part of Andrew Nicholson's cash.

However, there is another message below this message that the 76ers are negotiating a buyout with Landry.
