Basketball starts with breathing

Chapter 85 Negotiations and Negotiations
Donors and brokers are different.

Donors are also called "intermediaries" and "connectors".

A broker refers to a person who makes a commission for brokering transactions for others.

The focus of the two is different. Donors do not focus on monetary gains, while brokers aim at monetary gains.

Zhou Erfu's "Morning in Shanghai", the first eleven has a sentence: "Zhu Yannian became a donor of western medicine."

There is another sentence in Mao Dun's "Exercise" [-]: "Yuan Shikai's treason has to be done by himself, and the person who acts as a broker for him will be bitten back by him, saying he is a traitor."

Here you can see the difference between a donor and a broker.

And Wang Fei came this time to be a donor.

Lu Yu followed Mark Foyo to the office, walked into the office, and found that the windows of the whole room were all tightly closed, and the dim light from the roof illuminated the whole room.

There were two people sitting in the room, both of whom Lu Yu knew. One was Wang Fei, the head coach of the National Youth Team, and the other was the current head coach of the Dallas Mavericks, Don Nelson, with white hair and a frown.

"Come on, Lu Yu." Wang Fei beckoned to Lu Yu, pointed to the sofa next to him, and said, "I'll introduce to you. Next to me is the general manager and head coach of the Dallas Mavericks, Mr. Don Nelson. Tang, this is the Lu Yu I mentioned to you."

Wang Fei has been studying with the Mavericks since 1999, so he has a good relationship with head coach Don Nelson. When Don Nelson proposed to see Lu Yu, he knew Lu Yu, so he brought him with him first. Nelson came to Gonzaga University.

Don Nelson stood up and shook hands with Lu Yu: "I'm sorry to meet you in this environment, I hope you can understand."

Lu Yu nodded.

The NBA stipulates that teams cannot contact prospective draft players in advance, otherwise they will be severely punished.

He remembers Tunneling head coach George Carr simply because he attended a basketball camp at Mack University to teach the young players.

The reason why George Carr visited was that the camp was hosted by Carr's friend Rick Marshallwins, and Carr's son also attended.There, Karl had a good impression of point guard Deron Williams, who can score and handle the ball, and the two naturally chatted.

It's hard to believe that Karl was doing this to get anything out of Williams or Mack -- the Nuggets were 20th overall in that draft and Williams was considered a top-five candidate rookie.

But here's the problem. According to regulations, team coaches or club officials are not allowed to contact undrafted players.

George Carr was fined $20 for this.

This is just something Lu Yu remembers, and it happened in 2005.

George Carr is not the first coach to be punished.

In 2002, Cleveland Cavaliers head coach John Lucas was fined $15 and suspended for two games for allowing high school student James to participate in a practice game for the team, although it was no secret that the Cavaliers wanted James. , but this is still against the rules until the little emperor is determined to participate in the draft.

And Don Nelson's meeting with Lu Yu this time made it clear that he was here for the draft.

So they have to be careful, if they are discovered by the NBA, it will be a very heavy punishment.

"Tang, I brought you guys, you can talk about the rest." Mark Foyou sat down with a smile, and Lu Yu sat beside him.

Don Nelson said with a smile: "Lu, you must understand why we are here. To be honest, I want to know if you will participate in this year's NBA draft?"

This is especially important for Don Nelson. If Lu Yu participates in the draft, he needs to discuss with boss Mark Cuban to make arrangements in advance.

Lu Yu hesitated for a while, and his eyes turned to Mark Foyo next to him.

Mark Foyo sighed and said: "I understand what you mean, the team will definitely be less strong next year without you, but I asked Dan Dickau and Blake Stepp, and they both Decided to stay, you are different from them, your strength has no room for improvement in the NCAA, and our training system is not enough to allow you to grow more, although I would like you to stay, but I personally think that the NBA It's your stage."

Lu Yu nodded, admitting that Mark Foyou was right.

It can be seen from the stagnation of breathing method learning progress that NCAA is really no longer suitable for me.

"I decided to participate in this year's NBA draft." Lu Yu said solemnly, "But Mr. Nelson, I have a question for you?"

"You said."

Don Nelson breathed a sigh of relief.

"You came to me this time, definitely wanting to choose me to join the Dallas Mavericks, but if I participate in the draft, with the Mavericks' record, I'm afraid it will be difficult to draw a top-ranked lottery. I wonder what your plans are?" Lu Yu asked. road.

Even if Lu Yu promises Don Nelson now, if the Mavericks don't have a feasible plan, they'll still be in vain in the end. After all, the draft is not about buying cabbage. Transactions are also in vain.

What's more, this year is not a big year for the draft, which means that there will not be many outstanding players, so Lu Yu, as the best among them, will not give up easily.

The draft pick won't come out until May, and it's not a complete guarantee for Don Nelson to figure out how to arrange it now.

Sure enough, after listening to Lu Yu's words, Don Nelson sighed slightly: "I can't promise you about the draft, but we are already communicating with a few teams that are likely to get lottery picks. There are a few teams that are willing to talk to us."

"Which teams are there?" Lu Yu asked.

"The Clippers, the Warriors and the Celtics." Don Nelson replied without concealment: "The Clippers have completed their lineup this year, Chris Maggette was brought to Staples, and the two they selected last year. A rookie, Darius Myers and Quentin Richardson, two rookies with excellent jumping skills, provoked the backbone of the team at the 35 position, and a series of changes have also made the Clippers a veritable name. The powerful youth guards, although this season is still only 37% of the fuck, but the bench is averaging [-] points per game, and the team's performance of averaging over [-] points per game shows the madness of young people in the whole league, so no matter who the Clippers choose Players will choose to trade out."

"The Warriors are because I have coaching experience in the Warriors, and I am relatively familiar with them. They lack a shooting guard. If you can be selected by the Warriors, I will congratulate you, because it is really suitable there. You, of course, if they pick you, we'll find a way to trade with them as well."

"The Celtics also need a shooting guard, so they'll have a high probability of picking you, but I predict they won't be too high, and they'll have the lowest probability of picking you."

Don Nelson analyzed the specific situation with Lu Yu, and he knew that this was the basis for gaining trust.
