Chapter 259 Stud
"Tell me, in the eyes of these NBA team managers, Yao brother, how much will your trade be worth? Will it be greater than last year's Gasol?"
While in the United States, Channing assisted Philadelphia in negotiating a deal, while maintaining frequent communication with Yao Ming who was far away in Shanghai.
"It shouldn't be a problem. Brother Yao still has some status in the NBA, at least better than Gasol."
Yao Ming responded cheerfully.
Pau Gasol and Yao Ming are both outstanding international players, they are both the leaders of their respective national teams, and both have served as qualified leaders in NBA teams. It is very appropriate to compare the two people together. .
Gasol's transfer to the Lakers last year directly changed the structure of the league and allowed the Lakers to return to the ranks of the dynasty. However, the price the Lakers paid for Gasol was too small. They only used Kwame Brown, The signing rights of Crittenton, McGee and Marc Gasol, and two draft picks were traded for Gasol and a second-round pick. In the words of the fans, the Lakers traded Gasol in a "robbing way" coming.
This transaction shocked the entire league, and even Gregg Popovich was angry that the Lakers exchanged a few coins for a $100 bill. The Lakers management can record a classic operation in the annals of history.
Now, can the Philadelphia team get Yao Ming for free like the Lakers did?
Chen Ning naturally hoped that he could get Yao Ming without hurting his muscles and bones, but he also knew very well that the reason why the Lakers were able to rob successfully was mainly due to their connections. Needless to say about the relationship, it is also reasonable to give the Lakers a big gift when the Grizzlies need to rebuild.
But the Rockets and the Philadelphia 76ers have never had anything to do with each other. Coupled with the iron cock manager Morey, Channing felt that Coach Cheeks had to bleed this time.
"Except for me, all other players can be put on the shelves! You can have a stud if necessary!"
Channing gave Cheeks a bottom line, whether it was the second-in-command Iguodala, the best 3D Battier, or the potential rookie Ibaka, including the few cost-effective players that Cheeks just won in the offseason. High-level jigsaw players, such as Birdman Anderson and Pietrus, can all be added to the trade negotiations.
"What? Straight to stud! Isn't this a bit too big?"
Cheeks was shocked by Channing's determination to get Yao Ming. Last year, he made a big change to the team at Channing's suggestion, clearing away Dalembert, Andre Miller, Willie Green Old acquaintances who have been playing for the team for many years have been exchanged for young players such as Belinelli, Gortat, and Lowry. Therefore, Cheeks was ridiculed by other team managers for not knowing the ball.
Although in the first round of the playoffs, they suffered from the lack of big centers and too young players, but at least it freed up a lot of salary space for the team. Cheeks still agrees with Channing's operation, but this batch of new players The players have just been working together for less than half a year, and now they want to reshuffle at all costs?
"Of course, it's a rare opportunity to exchange small change for whole money. You must not miss it!"
Channing began to brainwash the head coach.
In 04, the Heat seized the opportunity of infighting in the OK combination. They traded Odom, Butler and others from the Lakers for Shaquille O'Neal, who was still at his peak. In two years, they transformed from a big team to a championship team.
Last year, the Celtics took advantage of their acquaintances, exchanged 6 players for 1 limit, and traded 6 players including Gerald Green, Ratliff, and Al Jefferson, and traded Kevin Garnett from the Timberwolves. The Big Three formed the first team. successfully won the championship.
This was even more so when the Lakers robbed Gasol last year, directly bringing the Lakers to the Finals.
These living examples all prove one thing, superstars are really awesome!A bill is better than a pile of odds and ends!
"Okay, I'll listen to you, I also want to fight for wealth!"
After being completely brainwashed by Channing, Cheeks became crazy. He wanted to become the head coach who coached two superstars Channing and Yao Ming at the same time, and experienced the kind of Phil Jackson and Popovich. The feeling of a superstar coach.
After the Spurs, Lakers, Celtics, Mavericks, Suns, and Heat were directly out of the game, this battle for talent has just begun.
The New York Knicks want to participate in everything, but there are many garbage contracts in the Knicks team, whether it is Marbury, Larry Hughes, or the little shark Eddie Curry, they are now representatives of high salary and low energy. A typical poison contract, the Rockets directly refused.
The Blazers were not interested in their old rivals. The Thunder focused on building a team around Durant. The Magic did not need a big center. After several discussions, the only ones remaining in the battle against Yao Ming were the Cleveland Cavaliers, Denver Nuggets and Philadelphia 76ers.
The Cavaliers are willing to pay big Z Ilgauskas + Daniel Gibson. Although compared with Yao Ming, this bargaining chip is a bit shabby, but the Cavaliers said that they can continue to increase the chip, even Big Ben, who has just joined the team for less than half a year. You can also consider sending him away. In order to keep James, Cleveland fought hard.
The Nuggets hope to use All-Star guard Allen Iverson to trade Yao Ming and Brian Cook from the Rockets. The Nuggets want to drive Iverson away. It is already a clear card, but Morey is not very clear about the answer. I want it, after all, I am old.
For the Philadelphia 76ers, Coach Cheeks was ruthless and took a combination card of Iguodala + Jarrett Jack. Iguodala is a very young All-Star striker and guard, and the qualified rotation guard Jack It can fill the weak backcourt position of the Rockets. After all, compared with point guards such as Alston, Brooks, and Weaver, Jack is still very fragrant.
Jack makes $200 million a year, and Iguodala makes about 1100 million. Although there is a gap between Yao Ming's annual salary of about 1500 million, Philadelphia's salary space is quite sufficient, and it can also help the Rockets save some money.
Alexander, the most stingy boss in history, sits in the Rockets, and Morey’s budget-conscious features have been brought to the extreme. In recent years, the Rockets have built a lineup around Yao Ming and McGrady’s MM combination. The huge Chinese market behind Yao Ming has made the Rockets make a lot of money. McGrady The unrestrained playing style of the white horse spear has also attracted a large number of Chinese fans. The Rockets have always been a super popular team. The income from ticket sales, jerseys and other peripheral products has increased Alexander's net worth several times.
But even though he has already earned so much money, Alexander is still budgeting carefully, unwilling to spend a penny more on Yao Ming's substitute, trying to squeeze every drop of Yao Ming's value, and never caring about whether he can win the championship.
How to maximize the profit of trading Yao Ming?Holding the offers from the last few teams in hand, Morey began to calculate carefully.
