Chapter 190 Buzzer Deal!
Chapter 190 Buzzer Deal!
Bruce sat on the sofa in the hotel and watched numbly the players who had heard or had some impressions in his previous life being picked up by other teams one by one. He had completely regretted his ignorance and stupidity!
When Eddie House and Eduardo Najera were selected by Miami and Houston, Bruce finally leaned on the back of the sofa like a discouraged ball!
He hadn't paid any attention to the upcoming selection of Reid. At this moment, he deeply felt his incompetence.
Although none of the rookies in this draft has become a superstar, there are indeed quite a few very famous role players from previous lives and even the second leaders of the team!
Recalling the various "teaching" belittlings in his previous life, under the established facts, Bruce could only look at Michael Reed on TV who was preparing to go on stage.
The trade between the Warriors and the Bucks has not aroused the interest of the fans in the venue at all. Under the previous shocking trades, this is only a trade of players for future draft picks, and it is only a small part. There was some commotion among the fans!
So far, there have been a total of 9 transactions in the draft. Except for the shocking transactions of the Magic and the Clippers, the other transactions are basically just what they need!
Just as Bruce was sitting on the sofa secretly annoyed, the phone on the coffee table suddenly rang!
"Hi, I'm Bruce Young!"
Larry Harris was a little surprised to hear the depressed voice on the phone, and asked inexplicably, "Bruce, are you feeling unwell?"
"Of course not, I'm just a little tired!" Hearing Harris' voice, Bruce suddenly lifted his spirits, and asked with inexplicable expectation: "Larry, what do you want?"
"Haha, can I call you only when I have something to do?" Harris said with a flash of embarrassment on his face, laughing loudly.
Hearing the other party's answer, Bruce curled his lips in disdain, and said, "So, is there anything I can do for you?"
Harris, who had learned to be thick-skinned in negotiating on behalf of the Bucks manager and other managers, heard Bruce's tactful remarks and hurriedly said: "Aha, listen to you, I have a small proposal that I want to make with you." You discuss it!"
"Here we come!" Bruce smiled playfully, and then pretended to expect: "Really? Do you have any good suggestions?"
Hearing Bruce's words, Harris flashed a flash of pride on his face, and then said: "You know our insiders are a bit old, so I want to ask if you intend to trade?"
"This..." Bruce paused pretending to be embarrassed, and was not in a hurry to give Harris an answer for a while!
Harris quietly waited for Bruce's final reply, but as time passed, he couldn't help becoming anxious: "Mr. Bruce, do you have any ideas for trading?"
Bruce, who deliberately adjusted his appetite, now heard Harris' anxious tone, finally smiled and said: "Of course, who do you need?"
Hearing what Bruce said, Harris finally breathed a sigh of relief. After the Bucks and Warriors completed the Reid deal, Harris thought that the Warriors had a large number of excellent inside players, which made him happy. In addition, there are some small depressions!
The Bucks have been making slow progress under the leadership of Glenn Robinson and Ray Allen, but he has great ambitions, but he has to find ways to use his ability to gain the trust and favor of the boss!
However, with the current inside depth and serious aging of the Bucks, this is obviously a very good opportunity to perform!
Harris thought that after completing these transactions with Bruce, he felt that he had established a good relationship with Bruce, so he couldn't wait to get some things that both the boss and the team needed from the Warriors!
"Uh...we need to find a good backup striker for Danny (Manning). I wonder if you have any plans to trade Jason?" Harris paused intentionally, then said simply.
Since Manning's state has gradually declined, coupled with his aging age, the Bucks have gradually lost confidence in his performance.
Now Harris didn't propose Marshall's trade in the first place, but he thought that the Bucks didn't have any players that Bruce was interested in, so he chose the next best thing to propose a trade request for Caffey!
Since Bruce entered the Warriors, his playing time has been greatly reduced under the sudden explosion of Nowitzki. Although his ability is very good, he can firmly hold the position of power forward in Marshall and Nowitzki. After that, his position in the Warriors seemed a bit awkward!
Harris also considered this point before making a request to trade Caffey. In his opinion, Caffey's ability is definitely enough to serve as Manning's substitute, and may even replace Manning, who has a high salary and pension, to take the starting position!
"Jason?" Bruce frowned secretly, thinking of Kafei's current situation, although the opponent has gradually lost his position as the main substitute in the Warriors, his extremely cost-effective situation made Bruce hesitate a little!
"Who will you pay?" After thinking about it, Bruce thought of Marshall's embarrassment at the moment, plus the idea in the draft before, and then replied.
"Uh... how about Robert (Traylor) and JR (Red)?" Harris cautiously probed with some hope.
Hearing the names of these two people, coupled with their performance in the past few years, Bruce couldn't help but secretly frowned: "Larry, are you sure I need them?"
"Aha!" Harris smiled embarrassedly, thinking that he was already trading Jason Caffey, and he had to foolishly take out two power forward players. After a haha, he said: "Then, What kind of players do you need? As long as Glen and Ray are excluded, you can propose trades for other players!"
Hearing this sentence, Bruce finally showed a smile on his face: "Larry, you are a very sincere guy, I like a straightforward person like you!"
"Haha!" Harris touched his nose in embarrassment, he knew exactly what Bruce meant.
"You also know that there are some problems in our center position. The injury problems of Eric (Dampier) and Adonal (Foyle) make us a little bit stretched in the selection of center players..." Bruce He didn't finish his words, and he just clicked to stop. After being in the alliance for a while, he thought that this kind of low-level hint was still very useful!
"What do you mean?" Harris heard Bruce's words, recalled the situation of the Warriors, and it was indeed the case. After thinking about the center players in the Bucks, Harris couldn't help but said a little nervously: "Bruce, Our center player is a perfect fit for George (Karl)'s system, so if you're willing to take Joel (Pritzbilla) in, we'd be happy with the deal!"
After hearing what Harris said, Bruce couldn't help showing a satisfied smile on his face, and then said embarrassingly: "Larry, Poole is just a rookie, and his offense is really embarrassing, this."
Harris was completely helpless. Elvin Johnson and Scott Williams, these two center forwards played a much better role on both ends of the offense and defense than Pritzker, who was only much better on defense. Considering that the Bucks have not won some centers similar to the two in the future needs and the free agent market, Harris can't help being embarrassed by Bruce's hint!
Bruce quietly waited for Harris to increase the price. Although Prizbila was the player he must win, it was obviously impossible for the two parties to complete this deal because of the parity in salary.
If the Bucks insist on adding Robert Traylor and JR Reed to the deal, Bruce can only choose to compromise!
For a moment, when Harris thought of the negotiations between the Bucks manager and Pistons manager Joe Dumars a few days ago, his eyes lit up, and he said happily: "Mr. Bruce, do you mind completing a three-way deal?" ??"
"Oh? A three-party deal??" Harris' words couldn't help arousing Bruce's strong interest. His favorite thing to do is a three-party deal!
Immediately, Harris outlined the deal between the Bucks and the Pistons with some excitement, and then waited for Bruce's final decision!
"Lynch Hunter?" Bruce said in a low voice, thinking of some of the veteran's achievements in his previous life and the irony of being traded twice by the Pistons, while feeling regretful in his heart, he said in a low voice: "Sorry, Larry, you know I don't want to take on Lynch's contract for the next few years, so..."
Harris was completely depressed. He thought he had shown his sincerity in this deal, but when he heard Bruce's rejection again, he almost wanted to say goodbye to Bruce.
But thinking of his own future, Harris struggled and said helplessly: "We will pay Vinny Del Negro's expiring contract, Joel Prisbilla and $100 million in cash compensation. In exchange for Jason Caffey and a fringe player, this is our last chip!"
Hearing that Harris finally chose to compromise, Bruce immediately became excited: "Larry, I see your sincerity, this deal is very beneficial to both of us!!"
Just as the Mavericks in the draft venue were about to complete the last pick in the second round, a trade message suddenly appeared on the big screen, which finally caused another commotion in the venue that gradually returned to calm!
"God, did the Warriors finally make a move?"
"Bruce still can't hold back his loneliness!!"
"My God, this year's draft is so exciting!"
The news on the big screen was exactly the deal Bruce and Harris reached at the end of the draft!
The Bucks paid this year's No. 9 pick Joel Prisbilla, Vinny Del Negro and 100 million cash compensation, and got the Warriors' Jason Caffey and marginal player Drew Barry.
After the heated discussion of the trade between the two teams among all the fans in the venue, as the Mavericks finally selected an unknown Pat Meeker, this wonderful draft like a movie finally came to an end !
Let me say sorry first!
I originally thought that I would give you the third update yesterday, but around 10, with the thunder and rain outside, suddenly the power was cut off at home.
I just received a call until now. This chapter was coded on my mobile phone at work. Is there any place in the county where there is a power outage? This is the second time Lao Lang has come to the Internet cafe. After passing this chapter, I hope to call as soon as possible.
In the past two days, it seems that the old wolf is not going well. First, the old man built a house to help run errands, sweating and wearing little clothes, and caught a cold in a gust of wind.
After finally getting better and catching up with this incident, it is really depressing!
If the call is early today, the old wolf will definitely give you the fourth update tomorrow, making up the chapter owed yesterday, even if you stay up late, friends, the old wolf doesn't want to shirk and shame with various reasons again and again!
Finally say sorry!
