Build a Dream Dynasty

Chapter 10: Honest and Trustworthy Boozer

It was another sunny morning. Jiang Ming woke up early, ate a Chinese-style breakfast at the Chinese restaurant downstairs, and walked into the club's office building with a smile on his face.

As soon as he entered the office, Jiang Mingliang immediately felt a different atmosphere. The staff gathered around in twos and threes to discuss something.

"What happened to the war?" Jiang Mingliang asked suspiciously.

"Something's happened!" As soon as he saw Jiang Mingliang, Wil Craig shouted anxiously holding the newspaper.

"What's the big deal!" Jiang Mingliang wondered at the end of the newspaper.

"Boozer: Go buy a Bulls jersey"

Seeing the title, Jiang Mingliang knew that it was broken. The Nets were put together by Boozer, and the Bulls still succeeded in cutting off Hu in the end.

The text wrote: "The Bulls officially announced the signing of All-Star power forward Carlos Boozer last night. The specific contract amount and tactics were not disclosed. However, according to sources, Boozer and the Bulls signed a five-year 9500 contract. The $10,000 contract! This is much higher than the previous contract offered by the Nets, which prompted Boozer to abandon the Nets and choose to sign with the Bulls."

95 million in 5 years! A full 30 million more than the offer given by the Nets. And from the perspective of team strength, when Boozer joined the Nets, the team was just a fringe team in the playoffs, but going to the Bulls to join forces with Rose, the team's book strength is enough to hit the second place in the East, making This decision came naturally.

Of course, it is understandable that this kind of perfidious behavior deserves to be forgiven. Boozer had been scolded by Cavaliers fans for several years with the Cavaliers owner Gund. This time, he repeated his old tricks, and it has become the target of public criticism on social media, not only Nets fans, but almost everyone. NBA fans and even Bulls fans denounced his behavior.

"Fuck!" Jiang Mingliang couldn't help but swear, and immediately began to make plans to make up for the loss.

"Will, inform Coach Stevens that we need to make an urgent plan for this matter."

It has to be said that Boozer's breach of contract was a great blow to the operation of the Nets. At this stage, the predicament Jiang Mingliang is facing is that all the big fish in the free agency market have their own masters, and the team itself does not have enough chips to trade players.

Using draft picks to trade? Jiang Mingliang was reluctant to do such a thing of drinking poison to quench his thirst. The quality of the 2011 draft is very high, absolutely not to be missed.

In the conference room, compared to Jiang Mingliang and Will Craig, Stevens' mood was a little more stable: "Will, regarding the Ariza trade, does the Rockets have any response?"

"I talked to Darryl, and the other side is very demanding. They want our Courtney Lee and draft picks for next season." Will Craig Reports.

"That's impossible." Jiang Mingliang directly vetoed, "Ariza has no role in the Rockets, and his remaining four-year, 28 million contract is a **** contract for the Rockets, you can continue to talk about it, and talk about other aspects. , the pick is absolutely impossible."

"In the power forward position, my first requirement is to have the ability to shoot in space, and the second is to have the ability to defend above the standard. The breach of contract by Boozer has a great impact." Stevens was also a little distressed. , and several favorite candidates are not operational.

"I have a candidate that I can recommend." Both Jiang Mingliang and Stevens were a little distressed, and Wil Craig suddenly said, "He used to be on our team, but he was sent by the team because of Carter's trade. Magic. Ryan Anderson, his shooting ability, was recognized when he was on the team."

"I'm not very familiar with this player, I need to see his video." Stevens said.

"OK. I'll have someone bring it to you later."

Stevens is not very familiar with it, but Jiang Mingliang is too familiar with the name. Three points, defense, these two skills alone, Anderson is really good.

Reaching out and patted his face, Jiang Mingliang asked, "Will the Magic trade Anderson?"

"As far as I know, Ryan has performed well as a substitute for the Magic. But the Magic's starting power forward is Lewis. If the chips are right, they should be able to get it."

Mr. Billion Lewis, who is also a well-known figure, is not going to let him be a substitute for this big contract.

"In this way, coach, look at the video first to make sure that Anderson meets your tactical requirements. Will, you try to connect with the Magic and see their asking price, and we will make a decision."

. . . . . . . .

A year ago, the Nets, aiming to rebuild around Devin Harris, traded away Carter, who had two years left on his contract, and Anderson, in exchange for Raf Alston, Tony Batty, Courtney Lee and pick. The deal proved to be a lose-lose for both parties. The five players involved in the transaction failed to play their previous role in the new owner. So, when Will Craig asked the Magic for Ryan Anderson this time, the Magic general manager Otis Smith asked for the same chip from the previous deal, Courtney Lee.

For Courtney Lee, a player who can play well as a starter or a substitute, Jiang Mingliang also wants to keep him in the team. But whether it's Ariza's deal or the current negotiation to switch back to Anderson, Courtney Lee has become a bargaining chip for the opponent's call. Considering Stevens' needs for these two players, it seems that Courtney Lee is leaving. The team is a foregone conclusion. Out of respect for the players, Jiang Mingliang also called Courtney Lee and asked him to prepare in advance.

A day later, the Nets reached an agreement with the Magic. The Nets sent Courtney Lee to the Magic for Ryan Anderson, plus the Magic's 2011 second-round pick.

Although it is not a big deal, it is a timely remedy for the Nets. UU reading www.uukanshu. com

Courtney Lee was sent away, and the team's originally poor flank immediately appeared in a positional vacuum. Considering Bobby Simmons, there are doubts about whether Pavlovic will be able to top it next season. Jiang Mingliang also needs Find new wing players to fill out the roster.

7 million for 2 years. The second year is a team option. The Nets signed Livingston, who can serve as a point guard and can also swing to the No. 3 position. This is the first step.

On the third day after the Cleveland Cavaliers announced they were cutting Danny Green, the Nets hired the second-year rookie for a minimum salary.

As a second-round pick in the 2009-10 season, Danny Green played in 20 games for the Cavaliers in the past season, averaging 5.8 minutes per game, with little performance. Such a signing does not seem to be of great significance to the team.

Jiang Mingliang certainly understands that the current Danny Green is not the emperor who will be known as the 3D template in the future, but after being put together by Boozer, the operation of the team has indeed encountered some difficulties. Jiang Mingliang can only use his own advantages. Do some more remedies.

Even if the player Danny Green cannot be reused for the time being in terms of strength, at least in terms of attitude, he is extremely hardworking, without this effort. He also won't be seen by Popovich in the future. Anyway, it's a water dispenser, isn't it better to use such a player who can swing the towel harder?

With the Nets 10-11 season lineup:

PG: Bledsoe, Livingston, Jeremy Lin

SG: Korver, Danny Green, Terrence Williams

SF: George, Pavlovich, Bobby Simmons

PF: Ryan Anderson, Yi Jianlian, Najera
