Chapter 65 Nelson's Persistence



Chapter 65 Nelson's Persistence
After a few games, the vast majority of teams in the NBA are trying their best to find opportunities to strengthen their strength.

After finishing the call with Charlize Theron, Bruce returned to his office with a helpless face!

"Dennis, what do you think we are most lacking now?" Bruce looked at the data about the team's players with some seriousness, and looked up at the Warriors data analyst Dennis Carter sitting at the desk.

"Sir, according to our data analysis, some players in the team don't get a chance at all. Even if the team allows these players to play in a limited time, it doesn't reflect their value!" Dennis said very seriously. Flipping through the data analysis in front of him, he hesitated, and said: "I think our current young players have slowly exuded their due value, while some unnecessary veterans seem a bit unsatisfactory!"

After hearing this, Bruce couldn't help but fell into deep thought.

What Dennis said is also something that Bruce has been considering recently. Although the previous few transactions have indeed made a good chemical reaction for the team, now Carlesimo is not bad in using young players after his own instruction. The use of players and a few marginal players is relatively lacking!
Even though the team seems to be in harmony at the moment, Bruce still feels a little weird atmosphere through the atmosphere in the locker room and training hall!
Although Terry Cummings is a little old in the NBA for many years, as long as the team can meet his playing time, he can still send out good data of 9 points and 5 rebounds like last season.

Buck Williams is relatively redundant, with a salary of over one million, even though the team gave him less playing time, this veteran not only did not complain at all, but also seemed indifferent .

Rodney Rogers, a guy who is fairly versatile, seemed a little anxious. As an all-around important role player, when he was delighted to come to the Warriors, after these few games In the middle of the game, he looked at his mere 10 minutes of playing time with extreme annoyance and was a little depressed.

In Bruce's eyes, Rodney Rogers is a guy with tragic fate. Even though he was paraplegic after a major car accident in his previous life, he is still making modest contributions to the community and charity by virtue of his will to survive and optimism. .

Although Bruce had some sympathy for the purpose of trading him at the beginning, after all, Rogers is still one of the important substitutes with an average of 7 points and 4 rebounds per game.

Bruce looked at the few new recruits in his hand and the marginal player list that the Warriors already had, and couldn't help frowning.

After a few games, the current Warriors have surprised some media and commentators.

And now this kind of good chemical reaction is exactly what Bruce hopes to see, but now the obvious lack of depth in several positions in the team also makes him cautious on the issue of trading.

Other teams coveted the high-quality chips in Bruce's hands very much. From the Jazz's previous trade application, we can see how tempting this highly variable season is!
Just as Bruce was deep in thought, Dennis on the opposite side said goodbye softly and left the office!

"Jingle Bell!!"

The sudden ringing of the phone woke up Bruce, who was in deep thought, rubbed his cheeks vigorously with both hands, and picked up the receiver!
"Hi! Little Bruce!!"

Hearing the voice in the receiver, Bruce couldn't help but hesitated for a moment, and then said with some surprise: "Mr. Downey (Nelson), your call is really surprising!"

"Hehe!" Nelson smiled casually. Even though he was in a bad mood right now, he still couldn't bear the temptation and made the phone call!

"The recent record of the Warriors is really enviable!"

After hearing this, Bruce couldn't help feeling a little trembling in his heart. Although he didn't understand why Nelson was suddenly so polite, in this commercial league, the calls from managers of other teams must be due to "work" reasons!
"Hehe, it's just luck!" Bruce said modestly, smiling secretly, looking forward to what Nelson would say next!

"Okay! Let me congratulate you for keeping your luck for the whole season!" Nelson said casually. Now he can't wait to come up with his own plan, but out of politeness, he still greeted Bruce a little Get up!
The two chatted about some things in the NBA and some things about other teams, and then started a little trial in Nelson's straightforward words!

"Bruce, you also know that the Mavericks have been struggling recently. Our team urgently needs some changes to cheer up." Nelson said in a serious tone, and then said straightforwardly: "We need Dirk!!!"

"What??" Bruce had already guessed that Nelson came to find him, but now he suddenly heard the other party's straightforward statement, and he was still a little surprised by Nelson's persistence: "Sorry, Donnie! Dirk is not for sale from the Warriors. !!"

"You come and listen to my offer first!" Nelson seems to have already prepared. Judging from the past few games, Nowitzki has great potential. Even though his body and defense are a bit "soft", he is strong. His excellent shooting ability and super-high IQ play style are simply a huge temptation for Nelson!

"Okay!" Bruce pondered for a moment, because he didn't want to have a bad relationship with the old fox Nelson, after deliberating for a moment, he chose to listen to the price he quoted!
"As long as you can give Nowitzki to us, we will provide you with all the players except Steve (Nash) and Mike (Finley)!"

Nelson's words completely shocked Bruce. Even if these two players were removed, the other players in the Mavericks also brought great temptation to Bruce.

Gary Trent, who averaged 11 points and 4 rebounds per game, is a tough pick-and-roll forward with excellent blocking and defense. He has shown his tough defense and defense in the past few seasons. Good scoring ability.

AC Green, known as the "Iron Man", and Sean Bradley, the "big bamboo pole", are even more outstanding players. Even though their combined salary is nearly 1100 million US dollars, their strength still makes many teams covet Endless!
From Nelson's words, Bruce suddenly felt why this old fox was called a "mad scientist"!
Not only did he have a crazy performance in the team's experiments, Bruce also felt Nelson's madness from his current trade proposal!
"Sorry! Donnie!" Although he was extremely interested in the players in the Mavericks lineup, Bruce thought about it and chose to refuse!
"Then, how about adding the draft pick?" Nelson was obviously full of doubts and a little bit of frustration!
Hearing that the other party added some more chips, Bruce thought about it and gritted his teeth and said, "Sorry! Donnie, Dirk is really impossible. Are you interested in Jason (Caffey) and Buck (Williams)? "

When Bruce finished speaking, Nelson on the other end of the phone suddenly fell silent. He also understood Bruce's approach very well. Even though Bruce was just a rookie in the NBA, his vision of people was more accurate than that of some veterans. And hold on to more!
"Who do you want?" There was silence for a while, although Nelson was a little tangled and regretful that he didn't get Nowitzki, but now he heard that Bruce actually took Kafei out, which still aroused his interest!

Bruce quickly took out a data sheet of the Mavericks players from the drawer, and thought about it seriously. When he saw that the main players were removed from the data sheet, and some other pretty good role players, he thought about Kafei's Ability and experience, he hesitated for a moment, and said with some regret: "Sorry! Donnie, I may only be able to provide you with the expiring contract of the player Buck!"

"God, are you kidding me?" Even though Nelson doesn't mind freeing up some salary space for this summer, it still makes him a little unhappy that Bruce suddenly withdrew the Caffey deal!
"Sorry! Donnie, I may not have considered it properly before, and I sincerely apologize to you!" Bruce said helplessly. He just didn't want to embarrass Nelson when he said this before, even though he really wanted to do it for Nowitzki. The growth made room, but when he saw the Mavericks players, he decisively stopped the deal with Kafei!

In the Mavericks' roster, except for a few main players, the other players basically can't reach a deal with equal ability to Caffey, and changing back multiple players is not the trading plan Bruce is currently considering.

"You. Sigh!" Nelson sighed helplessly. When he heard that Bruce was willing to trade Caffey, he felt a sense of surprise in his heart, but now he was suddenly hit by the matter of Nowitzki and Caffey. Finally, I couldn't help feeling a little grudge against Bruce's approach!
"Donnie, I'm really sorry, maybe my actions will cause you trouble and anger!" Bruce seemed to feel the unhappiness in Nelson's heart, and for some reason, he could only sincerely continue to apologize to him.

Feeling the sincerity in Bruce's words, Nelson thought about the opponent's age and the time he really entered the league, and he had some indissoluble bonds with the Warriors. He was silent for a moment, and finally he could only say helplessly: " Alright! I feel your sincerity. However, as long as you plan to trade Dirk, I must be the number one!!"

"Thank you for your understanding!" Bruce replied with a smile, and then he heard Nelson's angry words, and smiled secretly: "Of course, we are trading partners, aren't we?"

With Nelson's understanding, Bruce chatted with the other party for a long time with a smile, until Nelson ended the call because of the team's affairs!

"He's really a persistent old man!" Bruce shook his head helplessly. While secretly admiring Nelson's dedication to Nowitzki, his view of Nowitzki became more and more firm. !
