Build a Dream Dynasty

Chapter 10 Honest and Trustworthy Boozer

It was another sunny morning, Jiang Ming woke up early, ate a Chinese-style breakfast in the Chinese restaurant downstairs, and walked into the club's office building with a smile on his face.

As soon as he entered the office, Jiang Mingliang immediately felt a different atmosphere. The staff gathered in twos and threes to discuss something.

"Why is there a war?" Jiang Mingliang asked suspiciously.

"A big deal has happened!" Will Craig shouted anxiously holding the newspaper as soon as he saw Jiang Mingliang.

"What's the big deal!" Jiang Mingliang wondered when the newspaper came out.

Boozer: Go buy a Bulls jersey

Seeing the title, Jiang Mingliang knew that something was wrong. The Nets were put together by Boozer, and the Bulls still succeeded in cutting off the Hu.

The article wrote: "The Bulls officially announced the signing of All-Star power forward Carlos Boozer last night. $10,000 contract! This is much higher than the previous contract offered by the Nets, which prompted Boozer to abandon the Nets and choose to sign with the Bulls."

95 million in 5 years! It's a full 30 million more than the offer given by the Nets. And from the analysis of team strength, Boozer joined the Nets, the team is just a fringe team in the playoffs, but going to the Bulls to join forces with Rose, the team's book strength is enough to hit the second place in the East, making This decision came as a matter of course.

Of course, being understandable does not mean that this kind of treachery is worthy of forgiveness. Boozer has been scolded by Cavaliers fans for several years before playing with Cavaliers owner Gund. NBA fans and even Bulls fans are berating his behavior.

"Fuck!" Jiang Mingliang couldn't help but swear, and then began to make some plans to try to make up for the loss.

"Will, inform Coach Stevens that we need to make emergency plans for this matter."

It has to be said that Boozer's breach of contract has dealt a great blow to the operation of the Nets. At this stage, the dilemma Jiang Mingliang is facing is that all the big fish in the free agent market have their own owners, and the team itself does not have enough bargaining chips to trade players.

Use draft picks to trade? Jiang Mingliang is not willing to do this kind of thing of drinking poison to quench thirst. The quality of the 2011 draft is very high and should not be missed.

In the conference room, compared with Jiang Mingliang and Will Craig, Stevens was a little more stable: "Will, has the Rockets responded to the Ariza deal?"

"I talked to Daryl on the phone, and the requirements on the other side are very high. They want our Courtney Lee and the draft pick for next season." Will Craig reported.

"That's impossible." Jiang Mingliang directly vetoed, "Ariza has no use for the Rockets, and his remaining four-year contract of 28 million yuan is a rubbish contract for the Rockets. We can continue to talk about it. , the draft pick is absolutely impossible.”

"At the power forward position, my first requirement is to have the shooting ability to open up the space, and the second is to have the defensive ability above the standard. Boozer's breach of contract has a great impact." Stevens is also a little distressed , Several favorite candidates are not feasible.

"I have a candidate that I can recommend." Both Jiang Mingliang and Stevens were a little distressed, and Will Craig suddenly said, "He used to stay on our team, but because of Carter's trade, he was sent to the Magic. Ryan Anderson, his shooting ability, was recognized when he was on the team."

"I'm not very familiar with this player, I need to see his tape." Stevens said.

"OK. Someone will bring it to you later."

Stevens is not very familiar with it, but Jiang Mingliang is too familiar with the name, three-pointers, defense, and these two skills alone, Anderson is really good.

Reaching out and patting his face, Jiang Mingliang asked, "Will the Magic be willing to trade Anderson?"

"As far as I know, Ryan has performed well as a substitute for the Magic. But the Magic's starting power forward is Lewis. If the chips are right, he should be able to switch."

Billionaire Mr. Lewis is also a well-known figure, and for this big contract, it is impossible for the Magic to let him play as a substitute.

"In this way, coach, please watch the video first to confirm whether Anderson meets your tactical requirements. Will, you try to connect with the Magic and see their asking price, and we will make a decision."

. . . . . . . .

A year ago, the Nets, aiming to rebuild around Devin Harris, traded Carter and Anderson, who had two years left on his contract, for Ralph Alston, Tony Batty, Courtney Lee and picks. Facts have proved that this deal is a lose-lose for both parties. The five players involved in the transaction failed to play their previous roles in the new club. Therefore, when Will Craig asked the Magic for Ryan Anderson this time, the bargaining chip that the general manager of the Magic Otis Smith asked for was also the bargaining chip of the previous deal, Courtney Lee.

For Courtney Lee, a player who can perform well as a starter or a substitute, Jiang Mingliang also wants to keep him in the team. But whether it is Ariza's deal or the negotiation of switching back to Anderson now, Courtney Lee has become a bargaining chip for the other party. Considering Stevens' demand for these two players, it seems that Courtney Lee left The team is a foregone conclusion. Out of respect for the players, Jiang Mingliang also called Courtney Lee to let him prepare in advance.

A day later, the Nets reached an agreement with the Magic. The Nets sent Courtney Lee to the Magic for Ryan Anderson, plus the Magic's 2011 second-round pick.

Although it is not a big deal, it is a timely remedy for the Nets.

After sending Courtney Lee away, there was a vacuum in the team's not-so-abundant flanks. Considering Bobby Simmons, there are doubts about whether Pavlovich will be able to step up next season. Jiang Mingliang also needs Look for new wing players to fill out the roster.

7 million in 2 years, and the second year is a team option. The Nets signed Livingston, who can serve as a point guard and can also swing to the third position, which is the first step.

On the third day after the Cleveland Cavaliers announced the layoff of Danny Green, the Nets recruited the second-year rookie with a basic salary.

As a second-round pick in the 2009-10 season, in the past season, Danny Green played a total of 20 games for the Cavaliers, averaging 5.8 minutes per game, with little performance. Such a signing does not seem to mean much to the team.

Of course, Jiang Mingliang understands that Danny Green is not the Huang Ama who is known as the 3D template in the future, but after being put together by Boozer, the team's operation has indeed encountered some difficulties, and Jiang Mingliang can only use his own advantages. Do more remediation.

Danny Green is a player who, even if he cannot be reused temporarily in terms of strength, at least in terms of attitude, he is extremely hardworking, if there is no such effort. He will not be spotted by Popovich in the future. Anyway, it's a water dispenser, wouldn't it be better to use such a player who can even wave a towel harder?

PG: Bledsoe, Livingston, Jeremy Lin
