Chapter 364 Small Transactions
In the arena, after the three-person match, the first thing to do is the somewhat unexpected three-point contest!
Judging from the popularity of previous registrations, this year's three-point contest will give people a great sense of anticipation!
Not only Ray Allen will continue to compete in this project, but also the competition of many good players such as Stojakovic, Steve Smith, Persson, etc., makes this three-point contest have great influence !
Bruce looked at Bob Huicht with a smile, and he subconsciously looked through the glass to the court, where the three-point contest had already started in Stojakovic's shot!
"Let me be blunt, the Blazers have some congestion on the front line. If I agree to complete the deal with you, how will you coordinate this situation?" Bruce said bluntly, he didn't want to A guy who is regarded as a robber by others.
"Hehe, we will take care of our affairs. The most important question now is who do you want?" Whitchett obviously didn't want to get too entangled in this issue, and he directly asked Bruce what the price was.
"Aha, since you said so." Bruce thought carefully. Although the Trail Blazers had many good players, after all their personalities and some off-court factors made Bruce not interested in those guys who had been famous for a long time. Even if they still perform well, after all, judging from the current harmonious team atmosphere of the Warriors, it is obvious that these problematic players will not be accepted!
After a while, when Bruce remembered seeing a certain name on the Trail Blazers roster, his eyes lit up, and he said with a smile: "The only thing we want to do now is to clear up some salary space, after all, we will appear at the same time next year. Two tens of millions of contracts, so."
Whitchett couldn't help but feel a little puzzled when he heard Bruce's offer. Although he knew the situation of the Warriors very well, after all, judging from Harnington's contract, even though his contract was just signed, his ability is enough. It's a lot of interest!
However, hearing what Bruce said suddenly now, Whitcht couldn't help but asked in doubt: "If my sources are not mistaken, the contracts of veteran players like Charles Oakley and Vinny Del Negro expire, will they be It will bring you at least tens of millions of salary space. Even if the contracts of Vince and Dirk will start to take effect next season, with their departure, the Warriors can not only guarantee the basic lineup, but also have salary space. Is there a lot of leeway for maneuvering?"
Hearing what the other party said, Bruce obviously had expected it long ago, and then said very simply: "To be honest, I can't guarantee that they will choose to retire or sign another team, so their value is only the same as 400 million US dollars for the time being. about!"
Bruce's words made Whitcht even more surprised. No matter how you look at it, the age of the Starks and the decline in their competitive status are destined to either retire or seek a veteran contract with a championship team.
Even though the decision of these two paths will make these people feel difficult, after all, no boss or team manager will continue to use contracts higher than the basic salary of veterans to hire these veterans as old as 35 and 6 years old!
That's why Whitchett was particularly surprised and puzzled by the meaning of Bruce's words!
"Hehe, this problem is just like what you said, we have to deal with it ourselves, I wonder what kind of bargaining chips you will have?" Bruce waved his hand casually, he was very much looking forward to whose name Whitchett would name.
"Uh." Witchett froze for a moment, then lowered his head and frowned, thinking about it!
There are not many expiring contracts in the Trail Blazers. Coupled with the emergence of a series of previous transactions, basically few of their players will expire in the past one or two years.
Bruce took a sip of the juice, and he waited patiently.
"Bruce, it seems that you have given him quite a problem!" Wilkens whispered into Bruce's ear with a smile, and he couldn't help but feel a little amused by Whitchett's expression!
After a while, when there was a burst of cheers erupting in the arena, both Whitchett and Bruce subconsciously looked out through the glass window!
On the court, after a period of fierce competition, the two who finally entered the final were Ray Allen and Stojakovic, who had great influence.
The duel between them made all the fans excited, especially Ray Allen. The trophy for the king.
And this year, the two met again, making all fans very much looking forward to who will be the final champion between the two!
"Aha, I like Ray, he is an exciting young man!" Witchett suddenly pointed to the figure of Ray Allen on the field, and said with great certainty.
Hearing his shout, Bruce shook his head with a smile: "Bob, to be honest, it's already very good for Ray to win the next term. This year he should be handed over to someone else!"
"Uh."
Bruce's words made Wilkens and Witchett both feel a little incredible. According to their predictions and Ray Allen's performance in the previous regular season, they agreed that the final championship would belong to him.
However, now that Bruce has something to say, the two of them can't help but not believe it!
"Haha, let's see what happens!" Bruce basically didn't care about the expressions of the two of them. With the memory of his previous life, he had authoritative predictions about the situation and final development of these All-Star Games.
In the arena, as Ray Allen walked to the court first, the fans in the stands gave out a burst of cheers and cheers!
This year's semi-finalists were Ray Allen, Cavaliers' Persson and Stojakovic!
With their impressive performance, they finally eliminated the remaining five players.
Now, about to enter the finals, everyone is optimistic about the final duel between Ray Allen and Stojakovic, but they have chosen to forget the existence of Persson with a very tacit understanding!
As the countdown sounded in the stadium, Ray Allen quickly stood in front of the basketball cart and sat down to prepare!
After that, with the end of the countdown, Ray Allen shot extremely fast, and started to pick up and throw!
In the anticipation of all the fans and Bruce, Ray Allen didn't know if he felt the influence of the fans and the pressure of the rivals behind him. He only scored three points in the first shot, and the flower ball was even worse. Wipe the basket out.
As Ray Allen regained his touch little by little, at the position of the top arc of the three-pointer, he threw all the basketballs on the cart into the basket one by one. His performance caused a large number of fans in the stands to cheer for him.
However, his subsequent performance was once again surprising. In the next two points, Ray Allen shockingly scored only 5 points. This final result is simply astonishing!
"Oh, God, Ray is so amazing today!!" Witchett said in great surprise, and after speaking, he couldn't help but subconsciously look at Bruce!
But Bruce smiled and said to him jokingly: "Bob, I hope my crow mouth didn't come true!"
"You." Witchett was completely amused by Bruce's words. He pointed at Bruce for a long time and couldn't say anything.
After that, both Stojakovic and Persson advanced to the final together by overtaking Ray Allen!
Seeing Ray Allen walking up very calmly, talking to Stojakovic and Persson in turn, the reputation of a modest gentleman has gradually been revealed!
"It seems that we have to continue the previous topic!" Bruce shrugged helplessly.
With some regret, Whitcht glanced at the direction of the field for the last time, then took a big sip of the juice on the table, and then said: "After my consideration, we will take out Steve as the main bargaining chip this time. Of course, you must come up with a minimum salary player or a second round pick, otherwise we will not agree to this deal!"
Bruce looked at Huichit in surprise, he couldn't help but be startled by the price that the other party opened his mouth a little bit!
Steve Kerr is just an expired contract for Bruce. If he and Jordan hadn't won multiple championships together, I'm afraid this guy who has been a role player in his career would never have Now such a good reputation!
Now, Whitchett was almost hungry for food, which suddenly made Bruce feel a little dumbfounded.
"Uh... Well, Bob, what is your reason for asking this price?"
Hearing what Bruce said, Whitcht took it for granted, "Of course you need to get rid of Osella's contract!"
"Pfft!~"
After drinking the juice in his mouth just now, after hearing Huikit's childlike answer, both Bruce and Wilkens almost laughed out loud.
Looking at the expressions of the two, Huiqite suddenly remembered his own performance before. An awkward expression appeared on his face, and he hurriedly picked up the juice on the table to cover it up.
Just like his previous thoughts, what Bruce obviously needs is to get rid of the long-term contract. However, he also made the price based on this point, but he was a little complacent, but made him selectively ignore Bruce Trade value for Steve Kerr.
In addition to his expiring contract, Cole's transaction value is only an expiring contract based on his rapidly degraded competitive state.
After trying to understand the reasons, Huiqite couldn't help but blush, and gulped down the juice to cover up his own oolong!
"that."
When Bruce was about to terminate the negotiation, Whitchett hurriedly put down the cup, said embarrassingly, "Sorry, I was just joking with you!"
"Uh..." Bruce looked at Whitkitt, who was still a little embarrassed, and said casually, "Well, this joke is indeed very interesting!"
"Ha, we will take out Steve and Mitchell Butler as the main bargaining chips in the trade for Osella. Of course, I hope you can put a second-round pick in it!" Witchett said with a haha, and then Under Bruce's still somewhat indifferent gaze, he finally gritted his teeth and said helplessly: "If we can put a second-round pick in it, we will take out a first-round pick from 04!!!"
Whitchett's words suddenly revived Bruce's interest. There is a very big difference between the first-round pick and the second-round pick.
When Bruce was about to happily agree, a gleam of light suddenly flashed in Huichit's eyes, and he said extremely firmly: "Of course, if our pick is before the 20th pick, we have the right to postpone the pick for one year!! "
"Uh." Bruce looked at the determined Huichit in astonishment. He couldn't help but be shocked by the other party's transaction method!
Even though this situation has happened many times in the NBA, after all, Bruce has seen this kind of transaction for the first time since he came here!
Bruce's expression suddenly changed, and he couldn't help but fell into deep thought!
Regarding the Blazers' draft picks, he has great confidence that he can make a fortune, but once they specially traded a late first-round pick for the Warriors before the start of the 04 season, this really makes him feel a bit uncertain No!
However, once the Blazers did not have a pick after the 20th pick, as the figures of the 05 rookies gradually appeared in Bruce's mind, he couldn't help smiling and raised his head!
"We agree to this deal. I will take out the second-round pick from the Grizzlies before. I hope we can successfully complete this deal!"
Under Wilkens' puzzled gaze, Bruce's eyes flashed, and he agreed to the deal with a smile!
"Aha, this is so exciting, let's have a good drink!" Huichit greeted the waiter with an excited face. After ordering a bottle of champagne, he was a little depressed by the team's situation. The mood suddenly brightened up!
