Chapter 14 3 Teams "Big" Trades
Chapter 14 The Three-Team "Big" Trade
June 24, three hours before the draft.
Bruce sat nervously in the small lounge in the hotel. Judging from the expression on his face as he kept looking at the other three managers, it was not difficult to see how careful he was as a rookie.
"Guys! Although the league is in turmoil right now, why don't we bring something different to this deadlocked situation?" Nelson, as a veteran, looked at several other people, such as the Bucks Both Mike Dunleavy of the New York Times and Bruce of the Warriors showed a look of listening attentively, while the other two were much more indifferent. After all, the protagonists now are the three who have their own needs right now!
"Then finish it as soon as possible!" Dunleavy said a little anxiously. Judging from his current mood, Bruce also guessed something. This is the time when Dunleavy received the invitation from the Trail Blazers coach. (Because the information is a bit hard to find, Dunleavy is also the manager of the Bucks in the novel!)
Nelson shook his head helplessly. He knew this guy who wanted to prove himself very well. He pointed at Bruce and said, "You guys must already know what little Bruce needs."
Speaking of himself, Bruce smiled and nodded with these people.
Nelson nodded with a smile, and continued: "We need the No. [-] pick in the hands of Bruce, and Mike needs Robert Traylor. From my current analysis, the top five players will definitely not have Robert. "As he spoke, he glanced at several people one by one, and said: "So, the deal between us and the Bucks remains the same, we will choose Robert, of course, if another team gets it, we will send the remaining best player Give it to Mike, this is our agreement!"
Seeing that Nelson looked at himself after finishing speaking, Bruce hurriedly said, "Of course, we will also choose what Tang needs."
After the three teams have reached a basic and simple agreement, the rest of the time is time for bargaining!
"Dan (Yin Ser), do you have any picks to sell next year?" Nelson suddenly looked at the manager of the Tunneling Team and asked abruptly!
Dan Insel rubbed his temples with some headaches. Since Mutombo and Abdul Rauf have left one after another, the entire Tunneling team has basically become a rebuilding team dominated by young players, and this year They tasted some youthful distress!
"We have basically completed the framework of the team now, and Lafonso (Ellis) is performing well. However, we now desperately need a fairly good veteran to guide the rookies in the team!" Said As he said that, Yin Seil looked at several people with burning eyes.
After hearing this, Nelson lowered his head and began to think subconsciously, while Dunleavy on the other side spread out his hands, expressing that he couldn't help. In the end, only Bruce slowly picked up the roster of the team's players in front of him and fell into deep thought.
"How about Bimbo Coles?" A trace of reluctance flashed in Bruce's eyes, and he fixedly looked at Yinsel, who flashed a trace of surprise in his eyes.
"Who do you need?" Insel looked at him with a smile on his face, saying that a veteran player like Coles, who averaged 8 points and 5 assists per game, is exactly what he needs now, and the young players in the team Guard Bobby Jackson will get a seasoned backup!
Bruce smiled secretly, took the list from Insel, and looked at it immediately.
Not long after, Bruce frowned and stared at the data of Danny Fortson printed on it, carefully recalling this guy who seemed to average nearly double-doubles per game but played very little playing time.
A moment later, a clip like a movie flashed through his mind, a man wearing a Supersonics uniform, only 2 meters tall, with braided hair unique to blacks, he still remembered the guy who was not outstanding in height, He scored 01 rebounds in only 20 minutes. If this guy hadn't been known as a foul king, he would definitely become a first-class power forward in the NBA!
"I want Danny!" Bruce stared at Insel quietly. Since he was going to train the big guy Nelson gave him, a sturdy blue-collar insider was still indispensable!
"God, your taste is really great!" Insel looked at him in disbelief. Although Bimbo's strength is not bad, but Fortson is a standard rebounder, even if the foul has been unable to solve At present, the bargaining chips provided by Bruce are obviously not enough!
"Dan, I know this might be a bit difficult, aren't you going to listen to my chips?" Bruce frowned, thinking of the Warriors' bloated insiders!
Before Bruce could continue, Insel waved his hand in surprise, and said, "Danny won't leave Denver right now, but I don't think you've shown your sincerity at all!"
"Okay! If this is the case, then we have nothing to say!" Bruce shrugged helplessly. Although he really wanted to get future draft picks, he didn't want to select a few players in the team who were not bad, The guy whose salary is not very high is traded away.
The two broke up unhappy, and Nelson frowned at Insel with some displeasure, then looked at Dunleavy beside him, and said, "Since Dan is not interested in Bruce's proposal, let's have a good talk." Let's talk!"
At four o'clock in the afternoon, cars outside the Rogers Arena slowly drove into the parking lot, while some fans wearing jerseys of various NBA teams were excitedly talking about the upcoming draft.
In the end, the negotiations between Bruce and several people also got satisfactory bargaining chips from all parties. After three people negotiated, Nelson offered Robert Traylor to the Bucks, and the Bucks offered Dirk Nowitzki and his No. The second-round pick is sent to the Warriors, and the second-round pick that will be selected this time is given to the Mavericks.
Secondly, Bruce's Warriors paid their No. 2000 pick and the second-round pick in 50 + $[-].
Naturally, if one of the three teams fails to get what they want, then this deal will come to nothing!
After the verbal agreement, the Bucks got what they wanted from Robert Traylor and the Warriors' 2000 second-round pick + $50.
The Mavericks got the No. [-] pick from the Warriors this year after Nelson was traded with the Nuggets alone.
Bruce's Warriors got Dirk Nowitzki, the Bucks' second-round pick in 1999, and the Mavericks gave themselves the Nuggets' first-round pick for next year.
Since then, Bruce has received a total of two first-round and one second-round draft picks in the future. They are the unprotected first-round pick of the Raptors in 2003, the first-round pick of the Nuggets in 1999, and the first-round pick from the Bucks in the same year. second round of picks.
According to league regulations, every NBA team must hold a draft pick, and although Bruce traded all the draft picks in 2000, he already has his ideas and plans!
There was a hint of excitement in Bruce's eyes, and he sent away the managers who "sent" him high-quality chips one by one, and then quickly closed the door, shouting abruptly: "Excellent!! Really! Damn cool, this kind of business that is definitely a "robbery" in the eyes of later generations is really exciting! Hahahaha!!"
After the first negotiation between labor and management broke down on June 6, the media all over the United States felt sorry for and frantically paid attention to this alliance that had finally risen gradually. However, the draft two days later was subconsciously ignored by these media.
Bruce walked towards the draft venue with Chris in an extremely cheerful mood. The smile on his face made Chris on the side extremely confused. Although he knew that Bruce had some crazy deals, he still didn't understand what his old friend was doing. What fun!Could it be that it's refreshing to send out the guy with good scoring ability and the No. [-] pick on the team?
"Dude, you don't know how cheerful I am now!" Bruce noticed his expression and joked happily. If Chris could know the situation of the NBA in the next five years, he would know his old friend What exactly did it bring to the Warriors!
"Okay! This is your team!" Chris shrugged helplessly. Even though he, a layman, knew about these two transactions, what kind of losses did the Warriors suffer, but this team is Bruce's after all. , even if he brings this team into the abyss, he can only silently support it!
"No! Kerry, this is our team!" The moment Bruce was about to enter the venue, he turned seriously and looked at Chris with a wry smile on his face, slowly took out a document from the bag in his hand, and handed it to him. Said: "You and the godfather will always be my family!" After finishing speaking, ignoring Chris' shock when he saw the document stating that 10% of the shares of the Warriors belonged to him, he walked in in a good mood!
The huge venue looked like the previous life, except that it was a little behind compared to the previous life, but Bruce still saw the classic huge sign with the team logos printed on it!
"Hi! Bruce!" Robert Adams greeted Bruce in a great mood. He was crazy about the transaction completed yesterday. What an exciting combination Jim Jackson and Tracy McGrady are. , plus Kevin Willis, Doug Christie and Charles Oakley's starting lineup is really exciting!
"Hello! Robert!" Bruce had a weird smile on his face, and hugged him enthusiastically, but he was already very happy with his "generosity".
"Hey! I heard that you have just completed another "big" deal!" Robert deliberately emphasized the word "big" with a half-smile. Originally, he didn't know much about the rumors of these teams. But when he suddenly heard the information revealed to him by Dan Insel, who had a good relationship with him, he still couldn't help laughing at this immature rookie!
"Yeah! You know, a new boss would do this, right?" Bruce shrugged helplessly, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "Thank you for helping me once!" After finishing speaking , the three walked in talking and laughing!
