Basketball: The Chosen Victim

Chapter 47

Early the next morning, Wu Di came to the Cavaliers training center. He made an appointment with Scott and Grant yesterday to discuss the introduction of Jordan.

"DeAndre Jordan's skills are too rough, and there is no value for training at all..."

Watching the video of Jordan's game, Scott frowned. Jordan's physical talent is very explosive, but he basically has no skills at the basket and no shooting.

Such a player who relies on his body to play, if he has not played out after two years in the league, it basically means that his potential has come to an end.

"Jordan's skills are indeed rough, but his rebounding, blocks and defensive awareness are pretty good, more than enough to replace Varejao."

Wu Di replied, it cannot be denied that Jordan is still far from a perfect big center.

But as long as he is not a vegetarian, it is definitely enough for the Cavaliers.

Jordan's state declined after he became a vegetarian, and his defensive attitude has also deteriorated since then.

But at this stage, Jordan, in the league, can't rank in the top three, but he can definitely rank in the top five.

After all, this is an era when there is a shortage of centers, and even Bogout can be in the third team.

"Well, if Varejao can be replaced, I have no problem, but Williams is our biggest bargaining chip now. If we use Williams to change, it will be a bit of a loss."

Grant thought to himself, after these few preseason games, Williams has really played out the worth of a superstar.

Just yesterday, after Mengchao's article was published, the Nuggets and the Wizards also made an offer.

Grant took out the quotations of the two teams, and Scott's eyes lit up instantly when he saw it.

The Nuggets reported Kenyon Martin and Jr Smith.

As the champion of the century in 00, Martin's state has declined in the past two years, but he is still young. Last season, he averaged 11.5 points and 9.4 rebounds per game, which is still the performance of the inside gate.

Needless to say, Jr Smith, the well-known nerve knife in the league, the existence of Jordan, if he comes to the Cavaliers, he can be directly used as the starting shooting guard.

The Wizards reported their general Arenas and sent their newly traded bench center Hilton Armstrong.

Armstrong is 2 meters tall and weighs only 11 kilograms. He lacks the strength of a center forward, but has the dullness of a center forward.

He was the 06th pick in the first round in 12, but he hasn't realized his talents in these years. He is at the same level as Hollins, and they are all make-up types.

But Arenas is a proper All-Star player, averaging 22.6 points and 7.2 assists last season.

If it weren't for Brother Wall's position and the impact of off-court incidents, the Wizards would never sell Arenas in his prime like this.

Wu Di also couldn't laugh or cry. These two quotations are indeed quite attractive, especially the one from the Nuggets.

On the surface, it is obvious why the Nuggets want to trade. The combined salary of Martin and JR exceeds 2200 million US dollars. This is to make Gilbert a fool.

But Wu Di knows that Martin has been completely out of shape since the beginning of this year, and he may not be comparable to Jamison.

"Ask the Nuggets to see if they can swap Martin for Nene Hilario?"

Wu Di hoped that Hilario had been attacked by Takamaru cancer in 07, but after Takamaru was removed, he still relied on his strong will to return to the game, and his statistics were higher than before, so he was called Takamaru Man.

Hilario defends the pick-and-roll very well, and he can still shoot, but he is not good at rebounding.

And if Hilario can be traded, he can immediately bet with Celine.

"I asked, Hilario is not for sale."

Grant pouted, Hilario was the perfect candidate for them, but Nuggets general manager Masai Ukiri refused very toughly.

Wu Di was a little helpless. After the Nuggets traded away Carmelo Anthony this season, they did play for half a season with Hilario as the core.

So if they want Hilario, they have to wait until next year.

"It's better to trade with the Clippers as soon as possible. Jordan will definitely grow into an inside gate this season, and he..."

Wu Di endorsed Jordan, he is eager to complete reinforcements as soon as possible. Although Jordan has some flaws, overall, he is already the best choice at the moment.

Grant and Scott looked at each other, seeing the impatient look in each other's eyes.

Little Jordan is at best a blue-collar, and he is not necessarily better than Varejao. This is not how reinforcements are made.

Originally, Wu Di was not qualified to intervene in the team's trade. He was called here only because the advice he provided some time ago was very effective.

But Wu Di's request now is a bit overwhelming.

"Stop talking, Wu! I think you haven't figured out the situation, not at all! It's never been you who made the decision, and letting you listen in is the limit!"

Grant stared at Wu Di and said in a bad tone.

Wu Di's face was livid, and Grant was warning him not to interfere too much.

He wants to refute, but refute the team general manager in front of Scott?
Then it really became a stunned...

A cold light flashed in Wu Di's eyes. Perhaps Grant had received an offer about him. After all, Celine's articles had more exposure.

Ma De, it seems that this lineup problem will not be solved for a while...

That being the case, it is not suitable to stay here for a long time, Wu Di got up and walked out, protesting silently!
"Wu is still young, don't you need to scare him like this?"

Scott laughed, if Wu Di is an ordinary rookie, then there is nothing wrong with Grant saying this, but if Wu Di is a star player, then Grant is deliberately creating conflicts by saying this.

Grant glanced at Scott. The speech just now made him feel an unprecedented pleasure. This is the authority of the general manager of the team.

"No, everyone needs to adjust their position, I have the final say in this team!"

Grant leaned back and added:

"Except Gilbert."

Scott's face was livid, is Grant addicted to this show?
He also stood up with a croak, ready to leave.

"Scott, in this game, you need to let Team B start because they lost the last game."

Grant took a sip of water and continued.

"Are you serious?"

Scott frowned. Although Grant is the general manager of the team, he has no right to intervene in matters on the field. He can completely refuse Grant's request!
It's just that when the time comes, the two of them will completely tear each other apart...

"Well, I'm doing this for your own good, Scott. If you lose, you have to pay the price. There is no fairness. How can you convince the public?"

"Grant, that's enough! It's okay for you to bluff Wu, but don't try to bluff me! The game is inherently unfair. If it is fair, why are there still three giants in a group?"

Scott slammed the coach board on the table. Grant had something to say. Although he has a good temper, he is by no means a master.

"This is Gilbert's order."

Grant said sternly, he didn't want to be at a disadvantage in the first confrontation with Scott, so he bit the bullet and moved Gilbert out.

Scott took a deep look at him. He was more than 80% sure that Gilbert would not say such stupid things.

Obviously Grant is just kidding.

But if you take this matter to ask Gilbert for verification, there will be a big trouble.

Even if Gilbert did not say this, but in order to maintain Grant's authority, it is possible to admit it. At that time, it will only be more difficult to step down...

"It's not over!"

boom!
Scott put down a harsh word, slammed the door and left.
