You are the Pearl, Mo Mengchen

Chapter 574: Renew the contract

  On August 4, Mo Mengchen and Ephraim returned to Detroit.

   The media that got the wind beforehand huddled outside the airport, waiting for an interview.

   "Ethan, Dean Osgers announced his departure two days ago. Do you think this matter will affect you?"

  Mo Mengchen replied: "Dean is an excellent general manager, our team will miss him, his departure will of course affect us."

   "There is news that Joe Dumas will be the next general manager candidate, do you think this will come true?"

   "I hope this thing will come true."

When the team wants to do something, it will ask the opinions of key people, change the general manager, or Dean Osgs, which has led the team for two consecutive years, especially this year, directly helping the team The general manager who won the championship and replaced him is the key to his successor.

  Before leaving, Osgers recommended to the senior management Joe Dumas, who had just retired and was officially transferred to management.

The reason is very simple. Dumas and Mo Mengchen have worked together for four years. They have close relationships. If he takes over as the general manager, even if he is not better than him, the player camp will never be disgusted, nor will he be against the new general manager. The heart is in conflict.

Dumas has played for the Pistons for 14 years. His roots have been deeply penetrated into the Automobile City. There are no people who do not know him on the team. As a high-level player, he connects the player camp with a piece of the front line from time to time. thing.

   Pushing him to the position of general manager is naturally what top management hopes, but for a player who has just retired, sitting directly in the position of general manager is too fast.

  Does he know how to deal with players? Does he know how to trade? Can he treat his brothers who once fought side by side like merchandise?

   As a player, Dumas is perfect. He is a perfect teammate, a stable locker room leader, a humble and polite good man, the bad boy army that is hated by the world. He is the only player who is treated differently.

   He is a good person outside, and no one inside is dissatisfied with his image.

   took the chance to push such a guy to the position of general manager, but if something unexpected happens, this newly successful champion may suffer a disaster.

  Osgus's advice to the top is: "I also know nothing, I will not make transactions, I will not watch players, I will not deal with players, but I will listen."

"I found that JD is also such a person, he is good at listening, and the Pistons are the best at providing advice, and they are one of the best teammates with him. I believe that as long as that person agrees, there will be no problems. "

  The management listened to Osgers' suggestion. Instead of directly appointing Dumas as the general manager, he released the news to the media to let everyone know that Dumas is a popular candidate for the next general manager.

   In this way, the whole world will be mentally prepared, and Mo Mengchen can also express his views on this matter through the media.

   "I hope this thing will come true."

  This is his view.

  Mo Mengchen remembers that Dumas became the general manager of the Pistons in the first year of the new century. No matter how optimistic the management is about him, everyone needs a period of transition.

  His arrival accelerated Dumas's position.

   Even without him, Dumas was an excellent general manager in the first five years of his managerial career.

He traded the seriously injured Hill out and exchanged it to Ben Wallace, and then introduced Hamilton, Billups, Prince and Rashid successively through trading and offseason signing. A defensive, hard-blooded division.

   The season that the grassroots piston overturned the Lakers F4 was the result of Dumas' four-year layout. It is a pity that his wiseness has ended here. Since then, the competition encountered by the Pistons has become stronger and stronger. After all, the defensive meat grinder strong team has an upper limit, the age of the members increases, and the contradiction with the coaching staff intensifies. The aging of Wallace and others have made the Pistons lose their competitiveness in the championship.

   Dumas also lost the aura of his first four years before his debut. The 2003 pick of the top spot with Milicic was a start.

   However, Mo Mengchen believes that with him, Dumas has no chance to show his "talent" and will not go astray.

   For the past four years, he has constantly expressed himself in front of Dumas, let Dumas know how good his vision is, just for today.

  He believed that Dumas would value his opinion more than Oscars.

  Five days later, the Pistons announced: Joe Dumas will become the team's next general manager.

   Two days later, Joe Dumas wore a suit and held a press conference. He still maintained a player-like figure, but soon he could not hold it.

  Although Dumas made a bet with Mo Mengchen before the press conference, to maintain this figure for at least five years, Mo Mengchen smiled on the phone and said: "If you can keep it for half a year, I will be successful."

  When the reporter asked Dumars what was his goal as general manager, Dumars smiled slightly and said, "Fortunately, I took over the finished product."

   "I don't need to hurt my muscles, I just need to leave it all as it is."

   "So, will you leave Jerome Williams, Scott Pollard, and Grant Hill this summer?"

  The reporter continued to ask questions.

   Dumas nodded: "Of course, this is our goal!"

   This summer, the operation of the piston is more from the inside than from the outside.

  Selecting Ginobili is the only external operation.

  Barkley announced the last year of the contract after the end of the season. If he is in good condition next season, he may consider renewing the contract for another year.

  Ben Wallace's agent and Piston's uniform group pulled a summer skin.

   In 1996, Wallace lost the election. Mo Mengchen took him to the Pistons for his long-term consideration. Mo Mengchen suggested that he sign a two-year short contract.

In two years, Wallace has grown from the end of the bench to the team’s defensive backbone. He and Rashid shielded the outside from the basket, making the running pistons fierce and invincible on the offensive end. The defensive end is also one of the best.

   After the lockout of this season ended, Wallace's two-year contract expired. The Pistons wanted to provide a five-year long contract renewal, but they were rejected by Wallace's agent.

   His agent was keenly aware of the value of Wallace. They refused long-term contracts with low wages, claiming that if they did not give a large contract above the middle class, they would consider entering the free market.

   Later, because Wallace personally wanted to stay, he accepted the qualification offer of the Pistons.

   This summer, Wallace's qualification offer also expired.

  The Pistons still want to keep Wallace, but they are unwilling to come up with a five-year contract of 40 million to renew. The two parties finally signed a two-year 12 million renewal contract.

   Anyway, Wallace left behind.

   In the next two years, he will continue to play for the Pistons.

This was the last operation before Oscars left office. He left Dumars with three issues: Jerome Williams’ renewal, Scott Pollard’s team options, and Grant Hee Renewal.

The first two are not a problem. Williams wants to stay in his heart. Pollard is the team’s option. The initiative is in the management. Only Hill and the free market open, Hill jumped out of the contract and became completely Free players, waiting for the Pistons and other teams to win.

   He won the scoring king, double first team and double MVP last season. He can almost be said to be the first person in active service. He deserves a top salary at the Garnett level. Unfortunately, the salary space of most teams is not allowed.

  The Blazers cleared the space (the way to clear the space was to postpone the renewal of Weber and others), took the lead in firing, and smashed Devil Mountain with a 7-year 120 million maximum salary contract.

This is a Garnett-level contract. If you swallow this contract, the Blazers’ salary space will exceed 100 million next season. People who can only pay luxury taxes are numb, but the wealthy Paul Allen does not treat this. Seriously.

   This kind of beat you, let you join my operation is reminiscent of the posture of the Knicks in 1996 to raise the price of the bull.

   This year, the Knicks, who want to make a big difference in the free market, are equally aggressive, and exactly like the Blazers, they have given Hill a price of 120 million for 7 years.

  At the same time, they also promised Hill that they would become a galactic warship this summer.

   This offseason big fish, in addition to Hill, there are Penny Hardaway, Chris Weber and Sprewell, these people are also involved in the free market.

  Mo Mengchen heard about this and didn't care much at first, because Hill didn't leave the truth.

He should not have any displeasure at the Pistons. This team brought him a championship, gave him a system of data brushing, and gave him all the honors. This is a ball that continues to rise and will continue to win in the future. team.

  Who will leave such a team? In order to get millions more every year?

   But the renewal of the contract has been unsettled~www.wuxiaspot.com~ The quotes of the teams are fierce and he has no idea.

   In order to clarify this matter, he called Dumas that night and he had to know the progress of the contract renewal.

  Received a call from Mo Mengchen, and Dumas's answer was not certain: "Grant's agent's attitude is very ambiguous, there is no affirmative guarantee, and he is still at the quotation stage."

   "What are you kidding?" Mo Mengchen was startled.

   The free market has been open for a month, and the renewal with Hill is still in the quotation stage? Isn’t this funny?

   Dumas said: "As far as I know, no team has made progress with Grant, all teams are in the bidding stage, and no one knows what he is thinking."

   "Where is he now?" Mo Mengchen asked.

   Dumas said: "He is on vacation in Miami."

   This **** is quite a bit of leisure. The whole world is worried about his decision, but he is basking on the beach in Miami and admiring the beautiful bikini women with different skin colors?

   "I know, I will talk to him."

  Mo Mengchen also made Dumas more aggressive. Don't deduct the search, can't you learn Al Pacino and give the **** Duke a talented offer that cannot be refused?
