1584.Game
"Hawks?" Colangelo looked at the very simple but clear-targeted trade plan submitted by Ujiri and wondered why the target was the Hawks.
"Yes! They will definitely be interested. If we trade with them, we will have a chance to win the championship." Ujiri seemed to have aged several years in a few hours. After a pause, Ujiri continued: "Today
The media's attention is still on the draft. We still have the last 24 hours, and then our advantage will be weakened..."
Ujiri began to analyze the current collision to Colangelo.
Time is running out, and Ujiri's current goal is to resolve the issue before Milicic's application for a trade is known to ubiquitous "sources" within the team and exposed before it is revealed.
This short period of time is the most beneficial to the Raptors. When other teams learned about this, submitted trade applications and made various offers, and the Eagles had the opportunity to compare, although the Raptors
It is still beneficial, after all, Milicic still has two years of contract, but the degree of benefit will be much lower.
This required Ujiri to quickly come up with a plan to get the best return. In just two hours, countless brain cells died.
"Do we have a chance to win the championship if the Eagles get Milicic?" Colangelo thought this sentence was very problematic, but after listening to Ujiri's analysis and looking at the trade plan...
Colangelo felt it was unreliable and said: "Marseille, your idea is very good, but can the Eagles accept such a transaction plan?"
Ujiri wants to maintain the continuity of the team's strength, and of course he wants superstars in their prime. The proposed trade plan makes Colangelo look like a fantasy!
It is true that Colangelo also knows that the Hawks are a talented team in the league with star resources comparable to the Los Angeles Lakers. It is not that there are no other teams that have stars with similar value to Milicic, but they will definitely not trade, like the Cavaliers.
The little emperor of the team, the two guns of the Nuggets, the three young men of the Rockets, the twin towers of the Magic, the giant or iron man of the Lakers... these people will definitely not agree, and the sledgehammer of the Pistons, the sledgehammer of the Magic
The Flyers, the sister-in-law of the Lakers, the facial paralysis of the Spurs... either these are old, or the Raptors themselves are unwilling.
Only by trading with the Eagles can you get generous returns without involving the opponent's most important players.
However... Colangelo looked at the three names again, but still felt that they were unreliable, and asked again: "I know that Darko is very valuable, but it is impossible for the other party to agree to such a request, right?"
"I have contacted them. They are very interested in Darko and are discussing what kind of offer they will give us." Ujiri seemed to be infected by Milicic and answered concisely.
"..." Colangelo was speechless, feeling that his position as president was no longer guaranteed...
Before cooperating with this guy to come up with a trade plan and tell him, he had already proposed a trade with the Eagles!
"Marseille, I leave it to you. If you have any good news, tell me. If there is no good news, remember to book a job recruitment newspaper for me." Colangelo said with a wry smile.
Ujiri also has a headache now, but he knows that he needs to calm down and be patient. He must remain patient even before the news is exposed...
After appeasing the president, Ujiri returned to the room and waited for a call back from the Hawks.
…
…
From the very beginning, the Eagles did not expect that the Raptors would request such a trade. They never expected that they would have the opportunity to get a real super center!
Liu Mang returned to the living room of the boss's suite. He felt that the Raptors were smart. He was already regarded as a super center comparable to Olajuwon, and he was only 23 years old!
What's the difference between this and the Magic letting O'Neal go for nothing?
Listening to the bosses and coaches discussing whether to put forward an offer to try, some are questioning the IQ of the Raptors management, and some are analyzing and discussing what the Raptors management is up to, and fired the last president who proposed such a deal.
Manager after manager the new general manager did the same thing…
Liu Mang thought for a while and said: "I think the Raptors management is not fooling around, but they have to propose this deal to us."
"Have to propose a trade?" Stockton heard this, thought of a possibility, and asked: "Ace, you mean Milicic applied for a trade?"
"Yes," Liu Mang analyzed: "Milicic can opt out of the contract in 2010. His new contract is a 3+1 player option. If Milicic applies for a trade, the Raptors can only choose to trade with Milicic.
Milicic is furious. In 2009, one more season later, Milicic's trading value will be greatly reduced. They don't have the courage to keep Milicic out of shame, nor do they have the capital. They must find someone who can give him
The best return for the team, that's why they came to us."
Price's eyes lit up when he heard this analysis: "Why don't we announce this news? This will put a lot of pressure on the Raptors!"
"No, we have no grudges with the Raptors and we can't do this." Coach Kruger rejected the idea.
"That's right. With more teams participating, our chances of getting Milicic will become smaller." Price also felt that his idea just now was a bit silly.
"Do we have to trade? Our current lineup should be able to win three consecutive championships again," Liu Mang asked.
Continuing to maintain the status quo and defend the title is what Liu Mang wants.
"This..." Price was also hesitant. Although he was very excited last night and wanted to continue talking with the Raptors right away, now that the team has just reached the top again, Price doesn't want to touch the current core lineup.
To trade Milicic, you will have to pay more than just a little bit. You will definitely have to pay more than when you traded to get McGrady. Back then, when you got McGrady, you already gave away the twin interior towers of Raheem and Ratliff.
"But that's Milicic!" Price didn't want to miss the opportunity to get Milicic, a super center who just turned 23 in June.
"Milicic..." Liu Mang remembered that he had just sent a text message to Milicic a week ago to wish him a happy 23rd birthday. He knew that this kind of thing was beyond his control.
That is a player who can be compared with the 23-year-old second-year Olajuwon in terms of statistics and team leadership ability. Last season, he was a double-team center and ranked third in MVP votes and best defensive player votes.
After some discussion with the Eagles, they felt that this opportunity should not be missed!
"When they trade with us, they definitely want to get another top center. I think their target is Kwame, and they may also want our interior substitute." Van Gundy said.
"If Milicic is there, Kwame will definitely have to be sent out. They have Johnson and Jefferson on their forward and defensive lines. Maybe they also want a point guard, so Rajon will have to be sent out." Stockton sighed.
After taking a breath, another disciple was about to be sent away.
But Stockton knew there was nothing he could do. His best disciple was on the team where he worked, and no one could shake this disciple's status.
After discussing for a while, Coach Kruger and Price made a decision to use Rondo and Kwame Brown as core bargaining chips. In addition, Scola, Gortat, Grant Hill and other low-paid and high-powered players
Players are also included in the bargaining chips, and Marion is also included in the trade option. Marion's salary is not high, just 10 million, and he is sent out for some junk contracts that are not excessive. He is also in the Hawks'
within the scope of consideration.
Even the No. 10 pick, which they have been hesitating about, the Eagles are willing to give away.
If you can get Milicic, nothing will be a problem.
Liu Mang saw that he had also participated in the discussion of the trading options that had been sorted out together, and knew that the matter had reached this point, that the general trend was the general trend, and there was no other way.
If there is really a chance to get Milicic, he will definitely have to give away so many teammates, even teammates like Rondo and Kwame Brown who have worked together for two years or more.
But the goal of Liu Mang and the coaches is still very clear. To keep the ultimate perimeter quartet of Wade, Jason Terry, and Wade, they just need to find some perimeter substitutes. This four-man perimeter combination is so strong.
With Milicic on the inside, it is enough to add a shooting power forward and a physical inside man at the power forward position. This year's draft can do it.
Don't worry about the interior substitutes, O'Neal Jr. and Brad Miller can still be used for another year.
Gasol's muscle gain has ended, and fat loss is an important task this summer. At most, he will be able to lose weight healthily and reasonably in another year and start to realize his potential. If that doesn't work, start with the free market.
The ultimate outside foursome, plus double-team super center Milicic... As long as the outside super combination remains unchanged, the inside team will continue to collect various unique inside team building plans from last season, even if the new season takes some time.
Liu Mang can still accept the running-in.
Now that this was the case, Liu Mang chose to watch Price send the trade application to Raptors general manager Masai Ujiri.
but……
One minute later...
A Chinese curse came out of Price's room...
"I'm sorry...they are really sick!"
The Raptors immediately rejected this trade plan!
Rondo plus Kwame Brown as the core bargaining chip, Scola, Gortat, Grant Hill, Marion, randomly selected with the No. 10 pick, the Raptors actually refused!
The reply email stated, "Such a bargaining chip cannot get the center of the All-NBA first team and the All-Defensive first team."
"Are they kidding us?" Price was so angry that he slammed the table.
Liu Mang was so angry that he cursed directly, but other people in the room couldn't understand him.
Looking at the time, it was already one o'clock in the afternoon. Liu Mang really wanted to rush to the hotel next door and beat someone up!
But he felt something was wrong. The other party shouldn't be able to joke about such a thing casually, that is, the other party was really not satisfied with such a bargaining chip.
There is no hypocritical dragging, nor is it like negotiating with other teams to deal with Milicic...
Chapter completed!
