Chapter 13 "Small Transactions"



Chapter 13 "Small Transactions"

June 24th, morning!
The Rogers Arena seems to be holding some major festival, with huge posters and many flower baskets outside the arena.

Judging from the players posted on the posters, it is the many players of the Grizzlies, and two of them are slightly larger. "All-around striker Abdul Rahim.

This indoor arena is located in downtown Vancouver, Canada. It is the home arena of the Vancouver Grizzlies and the NHL Canadiens. Judging from the slogan of the 1998 NBA Draft posted on the outer wall of the arena, it is just for this evening Preparations for the draft are underway!

Bruce was humming a tune in a happy mood, and from time to time he picked up the fax that passed the transaction on the table and looked at it. Even people with rough lines could feel the happy expression on his face!
"Knock knock knock!"

A knock on the door pulled Bruce's narcissistic look back, adjusted his clothes, and walked briskly towards the door!

"Hi! Kerry, you look so cool today!" Bruce looked happily at the strange-looking good brother outside the door, even though Chris had a strange white rose in his suit jacket pocket, looking at him There is a harmonious beauty in everyone's eyes.

"Dude! Although I admit that I'm more handsome than you, but your outspoken words still made me shudder!" Chris exaggeratedly pushed Bruce away from him, waving his arms, and smiled triumphantly "Dude, seriously, am I really that cool?"

"Come on! Kerry, didn't anyone tell you what a handsome young man you are?" Bruce shrugged helplessly, he had already made such teasing for countless times.

"Okay! Hahaha!" Chris laughed twice, his face suddenly straightened, and he said with some seriousness: "Can you explain to me about Jim (Jackson) and Tony?"

"Uh...I'm sorry!" Bruce looked at his old friend apologetically, although he was very satisfied with the deal, but Chris was the chairman of the team he invited after all: "Please listen to me to explain, please? "

Chris shrugged helplessly, and sat down on the sofa in the reception area.

"Jim's character, I think, you already know a little bit about it now." Bruce walked over, sat opposite Chris, and seriously analyzed it for him.

After a long while, Chris still asked in confusion: "Speaking of personality, isn't Latvis [-] times worse than him? He's just so strong!"

"Okay! Latvis will go where he should go!" Bruce said lightly, ignoring Chris' unbelievable look.

While the two were discussing yesterday's deal, a rumor quickly spread among the managers of each team!
"Hey! Dude, do you know that young man has already started?" A team manager who knew a little information asked the manager of another team cautiously.

"Of course! That guy is a... er... how should I put it? What a 'generous' person!"

Similar to this kind of rumors and the confirmation of many managers, Bruce gave them a "rookie" feeling. Although he got a first-round and future first-round pick, it still seems that he is a bit at a disadvantage.

There are only 4 hours before the night's draft, and the answering of a phone call instantly ignited the excitement that Bruce had been suppressing so hard!
"Boy! Hello!"

Bruce held the earpiece tremblingly, thinking of the big guy in the future Hall of Fame that he might get, the indescribable mixed emotions of tension, expectation, excitement and excitement in his heart, resisting the violently fluctuating voice, some He said trembling slightly: "Hello! Mr. Don Nelson!!"

Don Nelson, considered to be an outstanding tactical master and innovator, he invented the concept of the ball forward, maintained the offensive tactical style of running and bombing, and created the controversial "shark hacking tactic", which is always used in the game Unexpected tricks to win.

He is even more good at acquiring potential players and cultivating new players through player transactions, and he is currently also the manager of the Mavericks.

On the other side, Nelson heard the trembling in Bruce's voice, and just thought that the other party admired him.

Bruce quickly covered the receiver with his other hand, took a few deep breaths, calmed down, and said, "May I ask what you want?"

"Boy, I can't thank you enough for what you've done for the Oakland fans, thank you for buying this struggling team!"

Nelson’s sincere words prevented Bruce from reacting for a while. After thinking about it, he frowned and remembered the incident between him and Cohan. great contribution!"

"What a nice little guy!" Nelson was extremely satisfied with Bruce's polite attitude, and he was even more sure of his purpose this time: "Little Bruce, I have some suitable deals here. Of course, compared to last time There are more options proposed, do you want to listen to it?"

"Very happy!" Bruce's face was full of surprises, and he was inexplicably looking forward to it!

"You should have heard some rumors about the Mavericks. Now that you have got Toronto's No. [-] pick. Then, I think we need to talk!" It is an existence close to the alliance.

"So, you don't need that German anymore?" Bruce replied solemnly, still wary of Nelson's affirmative tone. Although the transaction completed yesterday has not been announced, Nelson is now very sure. It made him a little uncomfortable.

"Hehe! What we need now is that big guy from North Carolina!" Nelson smiled casually. Regarding the information Bruce gave, he just deliberately ignored the way he got it. Besides, these managers and scouts in the NBA His actions were not very secretive, so he just smiled!

"Oh? What are you trading for? Mike (Finley)?" Bruce said with some surprise. According to his understanding in his previous life, the Mavericks are bound to win Nowitzki, but now from Nelson What he said was not the same thing. Just this made him see some unknown sides of the managers in the NBA. Who wouldn't want to get a player who has proven himself in the college league?

"Haha! You really know how to joke!" Nelson laughed and responded, he still had the right to chat about this unrealistic joke.

"We will provide you with two future first-round picks, or whoever you need, we will get you his plus 2000 picks in the draft meeting that starts at night!" Nelson said his chips indifferently. , Judging from the deal with Bruce yesterday, this guy must be raising draft picks for his own reconstruction, and the chips he offered are not so unacceptable!
surprise!Extremely surprised!Although Jamison has been favored by the media and many managers, he is only a rookie after all, and now the chips reported by Nelson have somewhat exceeded this expectation. Besides, the Mavericks in the past two years are still in their infancy. The first level of the "fish belly" unit, it is not difficult to see from Nelson's words how ambitious he is for this season that may shrink!

Hearing the chips reported by Nelson, Bruce thought about his future layout, gritted his teeth, and said, "You know my identity as a Chinese, so I want to see if there is anything you appreciate about that German." place." Without waiting for the other party to answer, he continued: "At the same time, I'm still the owner of this team, right? Who doesn't want to open up a little international market?"

"Uh." Nelson listened to Bruce's words in amazement. He still admired this little guy for being able to see such a long-term view, and now is the golden age when the league has always wanted to develop internationally. It didn't go well, but according to Stern's actions, it still reminded him of the future development of the alliance!
Bruce was nervously sticking to the temporarily silent receiver, and couldn't help but fantasize about what Nelson did.

While Bruce was anxiously waiting, Nelson's familiar voice sounded again: "Little Bruce, why don't we make a complicated deal?"

"can!"

Hearing the capable answer, Nelson secretly praised and said, "We will bring the Bucks in. Of course, if the Nuggets are willing, we can make a large-scale "small" transaction."

"A "small" and large-scale transaction?" Bruce asked nervously and cautiously, considering that this kind of situation involving multi-team transactions was unimaginable in the second-tier club he stayed in in his previous life, and this kind of transaction I have only seen a lot in the NBA.

On the other side, Nelson organized his thoughts and said slowly: "Your biggest need now is draft picks. As a former Warrior, I will help you once. Of course, there are also some exchanges in the NBA circle." rules, hey!"

"Thank you for your support!" Bruce said with some surprise and gratitude. When he heard Nelson's last laugh that was similar to "hint", he smiled with some understanding, and then said: "Okay! Please also Explain it to me!"

Afterwards, the two started a "small transaction" that could affect the situation in the next few years! !

 Sorry for the delay because of some things, I am very sorry to update now.

  I will definitely pay attention to the time in the future, and finally say sorry! !
