Nine Hundred and Thirteen: [Breaking 4-Party Transaction]

When Reinsdorf got the news from Gary Foreman, he was stunned.

He fell into an unprecedented panic: Why? Why did Snoopy leave? Are we not doing a good enough job? Didn’t we already publicly cancel the deal? Isn’t it enough that we even offended everyone in Golden State’s front office?

The Bulls boss is also a well-informed figure, and has also experienced the heavy blow of the basketball god retiring.

But this time, it's completely different. Snoopy actually asked to trade himself directly without any room for negotiation.

He really didn't understand what he was doing that wasn't good enough.

Gary Foreman shook his head.

In fact, he thought for a long time before he figured out the reason why the Duke made this decision: "We underestimated the relationship between him and Derrick Rose."

"And, the most important thing is. We have always been thinking about the whole transaction with American thinking. We think it is all for his own good. But in fact, he does not need this. Between maximizing interests and emotional morality, he Chosen the latter.”

"He is a typical Chinese."

Gary Foreman said seriously.

This conclusion made Reinsdorf's eyes widen. He still felt incredible. He was still thinking: Derek is your brother, isn't the Stephen Curry who was traded?

"Is there really no way to save him?" Reinsdorf continued.

Gary Foreman thought for a while, then took out a piece of paper from his bag and put it on the table respectfully: "This is my resignation report. Unfortunately, I can't make it myself." The decision to trade, I don’t want to add such an obvious stain to my resume.”

"I think what you should do now is call Derrick Rose and Tom Thibodeau together and ask them which direction the Bulls should go next, and then use Snoop, the most valuable star in the history of the NBA, to trade Make the decision that’s best for you.”

"Believe me. As long as Coach Thibodeau develops a good tactical system, he can get any star he wants, including LeBron James and Kevin Durant."

As the Bulls general manager, Gary Foreman fulfilled his duties and gave his last piece of advice: "If you seize this opportunity, the Bulls will still be the strongest team to win the championship."

With that, he left Reinsdorf's office.

He doesn't want to bear the eternal infamy. Donnie Walsh's lesson is not far away. No general manager who trades Snoopy will be appreciated, even if Snoopy takes the initiative this time.

Tom Thibodeau arrived at the boss's office soon. When he learned that Snoopy was requesting a trade, he was completely confused. Without any pretense at all, he, a sixty-year-old bachelor, slumped in his chair and was speechless for a long time.

His relationship with Snoopy is complicated.

At the beginning, having been an assistant coach for more than 20 years, he couldn't wait to take control of the game, so he made many overt or covert moves to exclude Duke. But in the end, he inevitably became the loser.

Just when he was about to leave with regrets, Snoopy extended a hand of friendship to him again. Since then, he has reached the pinnacle of his life, reaching the finals for three consecutive years, becoming the head coach with the highest winning percentage in history, being the best coach twice in a row... he has received various awards and praises.

Frankly speaking, he was used to the days of being at odds with the Duke. He found that his cooperation with Snoopy was a perfect match: one was good at defense and the other was good at offense. One is good at rigid tactical systems, and the other is good at adapting to circumstances.

He originally thought that he and the Duke could stay together and fly together forever.

As a result, when he won two championships and was about to move towards a dynasty, he suddenly received such a wake-up call.

"Snoopy...is Snoopy really going to leave?" he asked in surprise.

"Yes."

Derrick Rose's cold and restrained voice came from outside the door. He also ran over after receiving a call from his boss.

Frankly speaking, he really hopes that he is the one who leaves.

But now, Snoopy is voluntarily withdrawing. He knew better than anyone else that the Duke was taking the initiative to fulfill himself. After all, is there any other team in the league with a stronger roster than the Bulls? Going to the Warriors is at most a matter of rebuilding the core, while staying in Chicago is the core of winning a championship. There is no comparison between the two.

Therefore, he felt extremely guilty and remorseful for Snoopy's decision.

Seeing Derrick Rose come in, Reinsdorf's expression was very unnatural. He was a little unhappy and more embarrassed.

Deep down, of course, he is more inclined to send Rose away. But now that Rose has stayed, he will definitely have to rely on him in the future, and he made a deal with great fanfare before, which can be regarded as a different person inside and outside.

Fortunately, Derrick Rose didn't care about this.

They quickly discussed it.

Thibodeau believes that the defensive and offensive capabilities of the interior should be strengthened. He is a very traditional head coach. He doesn't want to follow the current fast small ball style. He still feels that those with the inside track will win the world.

Although the Bulls now have Joakim Noah and Carlos Boozer. But if it can be increased, why not?

"Carlos Boozer will definitely be traded." Reinsdorf said decisively: "He is a garbage contract who only knows how to flatter Snoop. This year he offended all the big guys on the Dream Team. , I don’t want him to bring James Durant’s anger back to the United Center.”

Reinsdorf's words set the stage for the next trade, which was to exchange Snoopy and Boozer's junk contract for a super insider star.

There are actually many choices before the bull.

Dwight Howard, Marc Gasol, Pau Gasol, Tyson Chandler, Stoudemire, Zach Randolph, Nowitzki….

As long as the Bulls let go of the trade, the owners of these teams will be eager to put these players on the trading table.

Gary Foreman is right, as long as the Bulls want, they can get any player.

"Isn't Kevin Durant considering it?" Reinsdorf suddenly asked.

Tom Thibodeau also frowned. Durant's style of play is plug-and-play, he can be in position or on the fast break, and he can partner with Westbrook, and cooperation with Derrick Rose will definitely not be a problem.

Only, before Tom Thibodeau could answer.

Derrick Rose clearly refused: "I don't want to play with any player between Kevin Durant and LeBron James. It would make me feel weird."

"Also, I don't think Snoopy would agree to such a deal."

The key point Ross wants to make is the latter sentence.

He knows that the addition of LeBron or Durant will make the Bulls even better, but he doesn't want to fight with Snoop's old enemy. There is no unnecessary reason, just one word: love!

The relationship between him and the Duke was legendary.

With Derek's direct opposition, the Bulls' trading idea was immediately finalized: mainly to supplement super insiders. Supplemented by 3D players on the wings.

Once the Bulls core team had their ideas figured out, someone quickly implemented it.

At the same time, they set out to spread the news and make contact with their favorite teams.

A seismic four-party trade broke out in the NBA.

After Howard struggled for almost two seasons, Orlandoans finally couldn't stand it anymore. The keen Lakers seized the opportunity and once again acquired the league's number one center from the Magic through a four-party deal.

In this blockbuster deal involving the Lakers, Magic, 76ers, and Nuggets, the Lakers sent Andrew Bynum, McRoberts, Ainga, a 2015 protected second-round pick, and a 2017 protected first-round pick. Received: Howard, Earl Clark, Duhon.

The Magic sent Dwight Howard, Clark, Duhon and Jason Richardson. Acquired Afflalo and Harrington from the Nuggets, Harkless and Vucevic from the 76ers, and McRoberts and Ainga from the Lakers. In addition, there are 2013 second-round pick (Nuggets), 2014 first-round pick (Nuggets), 2015 protected first-round pick (76ers), 2015 protected second-round pick (Lakers) and 2017 protected First round pick (Lakers).

The other two participants, the 76ers sent Iguodala, Harkless, Vucevic and a protected first-round pick in 2015 to get Bynum and Jason Richardson. The Nuggets sent Afflalo, Harrington, a 2013 second-round pick and a 2014 first-round pick to get Iguodala.

It's a take-for-you deal.

The Magic got rid of Howard's endless troubles and got a lot of rookies and draft picks. The Lakers formed a new F4 lineup: Kobe, Nash, Pau Gasol, and Dwight Howard. As for the 76ers and Nuggets, they each got what they wanted.

In a sense, this is a win-win deal for everyone.

However.

On the afternoon of the day the deal was completed, the explosive news that broke out in Chicago made people in Orlando regret it until their intestines turned blue.

Because, ESPN revealed that the Chicago Bulls' absolute core, two-time Finals MVP winner Snoop Dou, is seeking a trade, and the Bulls hope to trade him for a super insider.

Isn't this tailor-made for the Magic?

Who else is more deserving of being a super insider than Howard? ? ?

But now, he has gone to the Lakers.

All of a sudden, the letters starting with F were hovering over Orlando. Who the hell wants these potential players and draft picks if they can get Snoopy? Snoopy is a once-in-a-century super cornerstone.

However, the most curious thing is: Why is Snoop seeking a trade? Is he unhappy with the Bulls? Or is this fake news? ? ?

Frankly, at that moment, everyone's first thought was doubt.

After all, the Duke and the Bull are now in the stage of mutual achievement and reaching the highest peak, and there is no reason to break up.

At this moment, a fund manager named West walked into the Lakers club. He wanted to talk to the Lakers president. He was confident and crazy.
