You'd better wrap me

Chapter 91

a moment of ecstasy,

Su Yang came back to his senses, and said to Bran Pelinka: "Call me Sterling, and tell Rob by the way, if you are free, come to me, I want to ask him something. "There are still Varejao and Ariza in the second round, which can be grabbed.

Rob hurriedly dialed the phone, then ran to the scene of the draft, wondering what Su Yang was happy about.

A deep, hoarse and eager voice sounded from the other end of the phone, as if speaking with a red-hot iron in its mouth.

"Who? Tell me something!"

"I, Su Yang."

"Oh, My precious!"

Sterling's voice suddenly became excited, "I don't know if you have heard that Dunleavy and Baylor opposed the trade to get you. In order to express their protest, they submitted their resignation reports. I agree with them all. I will leave after the process is completed. ..."

Su Yang said in his heart that that is also normal. Indeed, only a lunatic like Sterling can do the thing of using the second pick + four first rounds + four second rounds + three-year big contract to go to stud trading. Favorable, but it is normal for others to resign.

I'm too lazy to listen to bragging, so I interrupted the question directly: "Who is in charge of the transaction-related affairs now, I want to contact him."

"Who do you want to handle?"

Sterling smiled and asked, "As you asked DeVos before, you can participate in the team's draft, trade and free market recruitment, and you can also designate someone to be in charge. I can introduce you first..." Xin said this Can save the salary of the general manager.

Su Yang patiently listened to the introduction. Rob Pelinka just came in a hurry, and immediately asked with his hands on the phone: "Is there anyone you know in the current Clippers management?" mutual benefit,
The key is that Rob Pelinka is the agent of Clippers player Chris Kaman, and he should know several Clippers management.

"let me see…"

Rob Pelinka quickly turned his head to think, and suddenly said: "Neil O'Shea, he just started as the Clippers' player personnel director last year, and he is my colleague at SFX. A first-round pick, he also served as an assistant coach at a well-known high school Adishia, where he coached Jason Kapono, so he knows the ball."

Su Yang nodded upon hearing this,
I've heard of Neil Olshey's name, he's quite a strong manager, threatening his employees is a masterpiece, but I didn't expect that he was Pelinka's colleague, and he also coached Harden's high school, it really makes people remember his name The guys have a lot of experience.

After making up his mind, Su Yang let go of his hand covering the microphone, and said to Sterling: "I want Neil Orshe, the director of player personnel, to take charge of the transaction-related affairs temporarily, and let him contact me as soon as possible. I have to figure out whether to send him away." Those picks."

"As you wish, you have the final say!"

Sterling readily agreed, and then he heard a continuous and clear roar far away from the microphone, "Let Neil call Su Yang quickly and ask him to do things according to Su Yang's request. If he doesn't want anything, let him come along Go through the resignation formalities."

After the roar was over, Sterling resumed his kind tone, approaching the microphone and said: "He will call you soon, and he will meet all the requirements that can be done. Don't be misled by those circulating articles. I am not a Pensive boss."

"Okay, I see."

Su Yang said in his heart that your routine is very clear, if you make money, you are a master, if you don't make money, let people go, it is quite pure.

The ringtone of Rob Pelinka's cell phone came to mind, and when it was connected, it was Olshey, and Su Yang immediately answered the call.

"Hi, Mr. Olshey, I'm Su Yang, a rookie that the team just traded, and now I have some..."

"If you have any requirements, just ask. I have heard Rob praise you many times. I trust his judgment and trust you."

"Then let's say we are sending away those draft picks." Su Yang is no longer polite, anyway, he will become familiar sooner or later.

"In the first round of 05/07/09/11 and the second round of 05/07/09/11, we only have the 4th pick in the second round, which is the 34th pick available. The original plan was Choose point guard Lionel Chalmers from Xavier University, or center Jackson Varman from the University of Iowa, or Anderson Varejao from the Spanish club..."

"The goal is to target Anderson Varejao. If he is selected, he will find a way to trade, whether it is cash or a certain player in the team. Anyway, Varejao's priority is relatively high. By the way, I would like to inquire about the As for Rand's matter, does he have to be traded now? Or is it some kind of method? Is there any special request?" Su Yang said in his heart that he should ask clearly first,
Mainly Elton Brand, as a short and long-armed monster, averaged close to 20+10 per game last season. He worked very hard on the defensive end. There are also two famous scenes, one is Yao Ming's singles blocking shots at the basket, and the other is blocking shots from the front Kobe's dunk, including the one that blocked Kobe's dunk, is often used by Kohei to mock Kobe's short wingspan, but it is actually because of the angle problem, Kobe's wingspan is considered normal.

"Elton Brand is determined to be traded. He doesn't want to play with you, and he doesn't want to stay in the Clippers. This time he is taking the opportunity to make trouble..." During the conversation, Olshey elaborated step by step, referring to the Rand didn't like Su Yang a few years ago,

Now I don't like Su Yang's high profile or arrogance even though Brand used to be a very peaceful person,

Moreover, Brand planned to leave after the free market opened last summer. At that time, the Heat offered him a six-year, $6 million super contract. I thought Sterling, who had always been stingy, would not match it, but Sterling actually did. La,

But the result of the match is that except for Brand and Maggette, the annual salary of the Clippers does not exceed 500 million. Even if the new head coach Mike Dunleavy takes office, the team's record is still a mess. one year,
Now that the opportunity arises, it is natural to go.

"To be honest, I still can't believe that Sterling is willing to take over the remaining three seasons of Granhill's contract in order to get you. At first we thought he was joking. He has never been so bold. move…"

On the other end of the phone, Olshey's tone was full of surprise, "I didn't even expect that he would immediately agree to the resignation application of Elgin Baylor and Mike Dunleavy. In fact, Elgin Baylor and Mike Dunleavy just wanted to express their support for the deal protest.

Anyway, the team is in a mess right now. "

It was just talk, but Sterling really did it!
Su Yang chuckled when he heard the words, "Then your chance has come, as long as you get Varejao and replace Brand and Maggette with ideal players, I will fully recommend you to Sterling as the general manager, so Now let's discuss who the candidates are..."

During the conversation, Su Yang and Pelinka walked into the temporary office, took out paper, pen and calculator and started researching.

The idea is clear. Brand has not yet practiced accurate mid-range shots. Most of his points rely on low-post offense and eating cakes. Originally, I could drive him well, but if it is going to rain, I will leave as soon as I want. I will switch back to the young people. Participate in the reconstruction, this year there will be candidates.

"The 76ers have already chosen Iguodala, but they lack important players at the power forward position. They can try to trade with them. It can be exchanged for Iguodala + multiple picks are the best, and only Iguodala can also be used. , anyway to clear the space..."

After the Clippers took over Hill's contract, they took up 1300 million salary space out of thin air. Even if Brand couldn't exchange for Iguodala + draft picks, he could still get rid of Brand's remaining 5 years of big contract, which is convenient for the future. free market operations.

Finding a trade with the 76ers is a precise positioning. They may trade Kings power forward Chris Webber next year to help Iverson fight for the championship. But compared to Chris Webber, who has declined slightly, Brand, who is close to 20+10 better quality.

"The center position can fully cultivate Chris Kaman. Although he has the most All-Star substitute level, he can be used first. As for Corey Maggette, he is very efficient when there is a superstar to attract firepower. If he is not willing to leave Strong, let him stay for now, I can form a backcourt with him, and we will see the situation later, I believe he doesn't hate me that much."

From Olshey's conversation, Su Yang learned that Quentin Richardson will become a free agent in the summer, and Maggette at the shooting guard position must stay, otherwise the firepower in the backcourt will be worrying, even if Maggette is different from himself. To deal with it, we must first consider the overall situation.

In ten minutes, the main train of thought was cleared up,
Trade Brand, strive to return Iguodala + draft picks, Rob Pelinka, as Iguodala's agent, can join the negotiations with the 76ers, then keep Maggette, and finally target Varejao in the second round And Ariza, try to get it done.

If the transaction goes well, and on the basis of cultivating Kaman, the Clippers' main lineup is only short of a power forward.

After a little research, I found that there will be three well-known power forwards in the free market. One is Kenyon Martin of the Nets. There is little hope of winning the championship, and Okur, the last one being the Pistons, will definitely leave because of the salary cap issue, but with that salary, it is also very difficult for the Clippers to sign.

Su Yang made a concluding speech: "For the position of power forward, try to find new players as much as possible, play youth storm, it is best if it is Varejao..."

Olshey on the other end of the phone and Rob Pelinka in front of him were surprised: Why are you so optimistic about Varejao?
Discussions about the players ended in turn, Olshey went to contact himself, and Su Yang continued to discuss coaching candidates with Pelinka.

"Among the current non-head coaches, there seems to be no coach whose tactical level can meet your standards and is willing to put down his body to discuss with you. How about contacting Stan Van Gundy, who was optimistic about you before, or ask Avery Johnson to airborne?"

Pelinka handed Su Yang a mobile phone, on which there was a list of non-head coaches quickly queried by the assistant, and there were quite a lot of them.

Su Yang took a quick glance, saw Terry Stotts, and suddenly thought of Eric Spoelstra, who came to watch him play the US Olympic qualifiers, and immediately wrote down the names of the two, "Contact these two people first , I prefer Spo..."
