I Don’t Want to Be the Boss

198.3-party Transaction, 4-Party Dilemma

The official NBA staff worked all night, and the executives in charge of the league's player operations were called up to work overtime again.

At 4:30 am on November 24, 2009, when a certain professional basketball player in a certain hotel got up to prepare for his morning practice, a three-party transaction was officially confirmed by the NBA!

The Grizzlies sent Trey Gilder, Jamal Tinsley, and OJ Mayo to get DeAndre Jordan from the Clippers, Anthony Parker from the Cavaliers, and the Cavaliers' 2011 first-round pick Unprotected picks.

The Cavaliers sent Anthony Parker, an unprotected first-round pick in 2011, Danny Green, and Delonte West to the Grizzlies for OJ Mayo, Jamal Tinsley, and The contracts of the Clippers' Ricky Davis, Mark Madsen and Marty Collins.

The Clippers sent DeAndre Jordan, Ricky Davis, Mark Madsen, Marty Collins, and got a special contract from the Grizzlies that was only partially guaranteed to be waived before November 28. Ray Gilder, Danny Green, Delonte West from the Cavaliers.

Involving the trade of the Cavaliers and the trade of Mayo, the former No. 1 high school student in the United States, the major media have to be busy again in the early morning, but they are happy! There is another big news!

...

...

...

Sun Ce saw the deal when he swiped his phone in the shower after morning practice, and all the sports websites on the Internet were overwhelmed by the news that the Cavaliers got Mayo.

The first reaction is "fuck", there is no way, the culture is too low.

He didn't even think about how to get Mayo away, and Mayo was traded?

Is this God opening his eyes? Finally helped him out?

But looking at these exaggerated headlines, Sun Ce found that not only the domestic media like to brag, but Americans too!

When Mayo was in the Grizzlies, the media always said that the talent could not be developed, the next Glenn Robinson and so on, but when he came to the Cavaliers, he became the next Jordan and the next Kobe.

There are even titles such as "Four All-Stars" and "Big Four".

However, there is also some negative news about Mayo. Mayo actually went to the bar to fight with someone who robbed girls last night.

But the Cavaliers fans in the United States are also very powerful.

"We are confident that OJ's talent can be developed, because we have a better LeBron James!"

These words... Sun Ce thinks it's really awesome!

Anyway, Mayo is not his own team, and other teams can develop it as they like.

Second reaction is...why the 2011 Cavaliers pick? Why not the Clippers' 2011 first-round pick?

Although the Cavaliers will have a high-ranking pick in 2011 if James leaves, at least the top five picks, but the Clippers' first-round pick in 2011 is Irving!

Regarding the various operations of the Clippers, Sun Ce believes that they will still get a high draft pick in the 10-11 season.

Even the No. 1 pick in 2011 was used by the Clippers to trade Mo Williams. This kind of operation shocked everyone when the deal was born. The team is actually willing to trade the first-round pick of the year in a non-guaranteed form.

Sun Ce feels that even if his arrival brings some changes, can't the team directly trade their first-round pick with the Clippers and add Jordan?

After thinking about it, they seem to have a more promising Eric Gordon...

There was no way around this, and as a rookie substitute, he didn't have the heart to care about these things, and his grandson was the biggest winner of this deal.

Just seeing Ricky Davis back with the Cavaliers...

Sun Ce seemed to see the news in the future: "Hey, brother, I'm back again, are you ready to help me this time?"

...

...

"Oh,

Noah, did you know that OJ has been traded!" Randolph saw Sun Ce come to practice shooting again in the morning of the first back-to-back game, and ran up and said.

It's just that it's hard to tell whether it's joy or regret in this tone.

"I saw the news."

When Sun Ce said this, his tone was quite...relaxed. Randolph didn't sound too happy or moved away from his teammates, but he just felt that Sun Ce seemed relaxed.

"Noah, are you happy that OJ was traded?" Randolph asked a rather inappropriate question.

"Happy!" Sun Ce replied directly.

"Ah? Don't you give him face like this?" Randolph didn't expect Sun Ce to answer like this.

"No, I'm glad we got DeAndre Jordan. We finally have a big center who can run and jump. Do you know how hard it is for me to play inside with two fat guys?" just run.

"Two fat guys? Wait, is it me, Mark and me? Noah, stop!"

Tennessee O'Neill began to hunt down Sun Ce...

Such a body shape, such a picture, so familiar...

...

"You can help me analyze why the Clippers gave us DeAndre Jordan for nothing?" Gasol held the mud under his fingernails and turned over the soil when he went out in the morning to prepare for the next year's planting. I was ready, but I forgot to wash my hands because I woke up too late and was busy going out. When I came to the team, I got together with a few core teammates to discuss it, and I forgot to wash my hands again. I had to go to the bathroom to wash my face and mouth after a while.

Gasol Jr. is happy to have a backup that looks more reliable. He is just confused why the Clippers are helping them.

, It looks much more reliable than Haddadi and Trey Gilder.

The other people are also very confused. If they want to get a substitute insider from the Cavaliers, they can completely understand that if the Cavaliers can get Mayo, they can choose anything except the three All-Stars of last season.

But it was the Clippers who sent the inside substitute, which is hard to understand.

No one answered Gasol's question. Gasol was a little embarrassed, kicked Sun Ce's foot, and said, "Noah, let's analyze it."

Nima... Sun Ce saw Gasol, a second-year player who dared not question Randolph, Gay, and Conley, three older players, came to bully him, a first-year player, he felt really shameless!

But let's analyze it, Sun Ce thought for a while and said: "The Clippers have long wanted to solve the problem of bloated insiders. They have too many insiders. The two big centers Kaman and Camby can only start together, and Those two starters are the weakest in comparison, I remember Zach also played for the Clippers last season, they seem to be unable to trade insiders."

Randolph felt very reasonable when he heard this: "Their insiders are really too bloated, but they are not planning to trade me, I am the strongest."

Hearing this, others also remembered that in the 2008-09 season, the Clippers had Randolph, Kaman, and Camby all at the All-Star level... At that time, they really had a You can't even trade insider trades!

This time, with a second-year physical fitness man, he got rid of three garbage contracts, and exchanged back Delonte West, a high-quality backup combo guard who averaged 8 points, 3 rebounds and 3 assists per game, Danny -Green is an extra. He has already been reimbursed for the season, and the Cavaliers are still short of 400,000 in salary for compensation.

But... What Randolph said was not the same as the truth. Randolph was not wanted by the team at all... Bill Duffy had a good reputation. The Grizzlies management believed the agent's words and sent Randolph Husband signed it.

It's just that no one is going to pierce his cowhide. After all, he is the boss, and now he is the best player in the team.

As for whether the team made a loss or a profit in the trade, they don’t care so much about the players, they just need to play their own game well. Not so good, it needs to be experienced in the playoffs.

...

Since today is the day of the second back-to-back game, there is no training arrangement, and the coaching staff and management are also busy. The morning tactical meeting was cancelled, and the players went to play their own games.

Even Sun Ce did not practice after practicing a set of free throws and a set of close-range shots in the morning, in order to save his energy for the evening game.

In the general manager's office on the second floor, coach Hollins and general manager Chris Wallace were both smoking cigarettes, feeling their bodies hollowed out.

With Mayo, a second-year player who averaged 18 points per game in his rookie season, replace a 34-year-old tall shooting guard who claims to start but only averages 7 points and 2 rebounds per game, plus a second-year second-round center. It seems that the 2011 draft pick after the 25th pick with a high probability is very stressful for the two.

From early morning to now, in four or five hours, local fans have been cursing madly on the Internet.

Although I made up my mind to trade at that time, I still felt my body was hollowed out after I finished it.

Outside pitchers and inside substitutes are all they need, but what they sent was Mayo... It was the same feeling as sending Thabeet away a few days ago, because they proposed to trade, and by the way, they took Tinsley for nothing The Cavaliers don't have the slightest opinion on sending out salaried players. They have a sense of sight that you can pick at will, if it weren't for the rookie bonus of Gay, Conley, and Gasol and the sending away of Tinsley and May. The more than 8 million salary space from Oteng can be used to strengthen the front line. They can also get a center back from the Cavaliers, but the Cavaliers' backup center is very expensive...so they still want the original target Jordan, and they are drawn. The Clippers want to save salary.

This proves how much the Cavaliers value Mayo, and it also represents Mayo's talent.

And that's not the point. The point is that they called and emailed the general manager of the Rockets, but the other party hasn't responded yet.

Not only that, but there is a problem for the Grizzlies.

Three players are missing, one of them is still the starter, and the two traded players will definitely not be able to complete the report today. Even if they arrive in Memphis, there is no way to finish the transaction today. The Grizzlies can quickly complete the physical examination, etc. Various procedures, but the other two teams have to get the players to play.

Originally, the Grizzlies only had 13 players after they bought out Iverson. Sun Ce and Thabeet were exchanged one by one, that is, they still had 13 players. The 13-man roster is not complete. The official NBA rule is that there must be 13 players, so I have to sign a player in the free market. The deal with the Rockets will not be completed for a while...

After a long silence, the cigarette butts fell off, the two lit another cigarette, looked at each other, and did not speak.

Can only wait!

...

...

This deal undoubtedly detonated the basketball circle.

The Cavaliers are considered to have made a lot of money, and they also made money after eating a garbage contract.

The owner of the Clippers loves money by nature. Sending Jordan away can save nearly 4 million dollars, which is great.

Only the Grizzlies were criticized, and they sold their talents continuously. The two high-ranking rookies in 2008 and 2009 were all sent away.

Sun Ce is currently one of the hottest rookies, and he barely made up for selling Thabeet.

But the fans and the media just felt that Thabeet's deal was not a loss, and the Grizzlies started to die again, using Mayo, a player who averaged 18 points per game in his rookie year, to replace 3 corner players. + Picks.

However, it was later revealed that when the Grizzlies banned going to nightclubs during back-to-back periods, Mayo still went to nightclubs and got into a fight...

This has polarized the fans' evaluation of the deal.

Thabeet has no mother fans because he was traded away without playing a few games and had no good performance.

But there are so many fans of Mayo mother!

Many Mayo fans in Memphis on the local Internet feel like their son has been kidnapped. Maybe in their eyes, Mayo fights are just children throwing mud...

Although rational fans also feel that they have lost money, the team is currently in good shape, with a record of 7 wins and 6 losses, and the team is moving on the right path.

Although it does feel like a loss to trade Mayo for such a return, getting a team's scarce catch-and-shooter and an inside substitute also makes up for it a little.

But the sane fans were also made irrational by the mother fans, and they started to spray each other...

Of course, the general public opinion is that the Grizzlies have lost money.

But on the other side of the ocean, Chinese fans and the media are overjoyed. At least at this stage when Sun Ce is playing well, the country is excited about this deal.

This is trading Mayo to make room for the Bully!

Domestic fans have done more research on the Grizzlies than Americans. The fact that Mayo and Sun Ce never played at the same time, and the scene of Sun Ce joining the Grizzlies in the first game with a hot face on the bench and a cold ass on the bench, have all been covered. Analyzes.

At that time, a commentator surnamed Yang said that Sun Ce was about to be traded again.

It turned out that Mayo was traded!

Sun Ce's position is stable!

...

...

Just as the outside world was buzzing about the three-party deal about Mayo, in Houston, Rockets general manager Morey and owner Alexander were drinking morning tea.

After hesitating for a long time, Morey said: "Boss, the Grizzlies want to trade picks for Battier. If we can get as many draft picks as possible, we will have a chance to get Paul or Anthony, and we will have a chance to win the championship... "

"Are we going to go for Anthony or Paul?" Alexander asked. "Can we make the market value higher by getting them?"

Morey felt his heart was stabbed!

He is talking about dreams, the boss is talking about money!

Although he had heard this kind of words countless times, Morey still felt that he was about to have a heart attack.

The boss talks about dreams, and the employees talk about money. Why is it completely reversed here?

Morey adjusted his mentality: "If we have the strength to hit the championship, it will definitely increase the market value. If we want to fight for them, the draft pick is very important. The Grizzlies can provide us with draft picks..."

Before Morey finished speaking, the Jew waved his hand and asked, "Is there any chance to compete for James? He will be a free agent next year, right? With James, our fans in China and the United States can make money."

Morey was stabbed in the heart again, swallowed the blood that was about to flow back from his throat, and said: "I will try hard, but our first goal is Paul or Anthony. The Cavaliers can give James the largest contract. Paul and Anthony Anthony's contract two or three years ago we have room, if we want to compete for free agency, it's best for us to help Yao go for Bosh."

"Then it's up to you." Alexander nodded, as if he had made a very important decision, and his tone became distressed: "If you can get one of them to help the team increase its market value, I will allow you to pay two years of luxury tax .”

Only being allowed to pay two years of luxury tax is probably an unacceptable condition for the general managers of other teams that want to compete for the championship, but...Morey actually felt like "it's finally dawn" after hearing it...
