Basketball: The Chosen Victim

Chapter 62 One Step Two Steps
"Any questions?"

Wu Di was a little surprised and said, Gilbert's tone just now was pretty good.

"It might be a little troublesome for two Chinese people to stay on the same team... The unspoken rules of the league may take a lot of effort to break, and it may not be possible this season."

Gilbert explained.

"Oh, there is such a thing..."

Wu Di suddenly realized that Gilbert was worthy of being the owner of the team, and he knew a lot.

But is it going to be postponed to the next season? That's a big problem...

Davis has a big problem with his physical fitness. He can only play for one and a half quarters. Even if he can train for another half a year, and wait until the playoffs to increase his strength, it would be ideal if this data does not shrink.

Sessions is just a rotation player, Jeremy Lin is needed to make up for the shortcomings of the point guard...

"I'm going to try to get it done this season."

Gilbert comforted him, and continued:
"Do you know all the offers from other teams to Williams?"

Wu Di quietly stated the offers from the Clippers, Wizards, and Magic, and omitted the offer from the Nuggets just to be on the safe side.

If I didn't take the opportunity to give Grant some eye drops, I'd be sorry for his arrogant attitude before!
Sure enough, Gilbert frowned again after hearing this, and he immediately called Grant and called him over.

……

"Grant, I found out that you are doing bad things behind my back!"

Gilbert looked serious.

"How dare I, boss, I write a work log to you every day, are you too busy to miss it?"

Grant sneered.

"Damn it, you just dare!"

Gilbert pushed him away from moving the chair, and then cursed:

"I said before that Wu will be our leading star in the future. We need to strengthen the lineup around him. It's good for you to strengthen around him, but he doesn't even show the quotation! How do you become a manager?"

Grant stood there blankly, he couldn't believe Gilbert's attitude.

Although Wu Di played brilliantly, he is the general manager of the team. Is it necessary to scold him like this in front of Wu Di...

Gilbert was also speechless. He felt that Grant was really lacking. Didn't he just play it for Wu Di? If you say a few words about being busy with work recently, will Wu Di let you down?
Why has the level of general manager been getting worse and worse after being a general manager for a few months?

It's so muddy that it can't support the wall!

"Sorry boss, I will let Wu continue to participate in the transaction later..."

Grant lowered his head and said.

"You better do this!"

Gilbert was getting sick of it, but in the end he stayed with him for dinner.

"Wu, recently we received an offer from the Bucks. Williams added a first-round pick for Andrew Bogut. Bogut was selected to the third team last season. I think it's quite suitable for us..."

Grant's mood changed quite quickly, and he started discussing the latest offer shortly after sitting down.

"Absolutely not!"

Wu Di almost spit out a mouthful of water, what the hell, he will come here with this kind of spicy chicken in a few days?

It is simply the plate of baked lobster in front of Grant——

Nonsense!
"Bogut's skills are too rough, and his free throw percentage is less than 50%. We already have Jordan, and now we need to exchange for a power forward or center with delicate skills."

Wu Di retorted, of course, there was another very important reason why he didn't speak, because Bogoute hadn't shown any bad qualities at this time.

Gilbert nodded in approval.

He has heard about Bogut, but what he thinks is that this kind of bad guy will bring bad luck to the team!
"Then who do you think should be replaced?"

Grant curled his lips and said, this shouldn't be changed, that can't be selected, basically all the teams that can make an offer have made it, and they have used all the means that should be done and shouldn't be done. Do you want to rot Williams in your hands?
"Lamarcus Aldridge of the Trail Blazers, Kevin Love of the Timberwolves, and Al Horford of the Eagles, if one of these three wins, the championship will have great hope..."

Wu Di mused, since he saw Jordan in the Clippers game last time, he took the time to scan the rosters of each team, and finally selected these three candidates.

"Why don't you add Howard!"

Grant rolled his eyes skyward. Of these three, which team would be willing to trade for Williams?
Not to mention Adelaide, the mainstay of the Blazers, Love, and the Timberwolves have been the potential stocks that have been cultivated as the core. Although Horford has a little hope, the new general manager of the Eagles is Danny Ferry.

This unlucky guy is the former general manager of the Cavaliers who was fired by Gilbert after "That Decision"...

"Let's rule out Horford first, and you can try the first two."

Gilbert wiped his forehead and said, he couldn't imagine Danny Ferry's reaction when they heard their request to trade Williams for Horford.

I'm afraid there will be at least ten episodes of Tucao Conference.

"All right……"

Grant said helplessly.

Suddenly, three mobile phones rang at the same time, it was their respective mobile phones.

Wu Di saw that it belonged to Si Lin?
Hang up first.

Gilbert hung up too, only Grant answered.

"What, some media attacked Wu for using banned drugs..."

Grant hung up the phone in a hurry, looked at Wu Di and asked:

"You...you didn't use contraband, did you?"

Wu Di shook his head, he was already on the hook, what contraband did he use, and Ariana had tested him before, and he was very innocent.

"Things are not that simple. The general media dare not do this kind of thing that damages the reputation of the alliance. Who published the article?"

Gilbert frowned.

"ABC's resident reporter in Miami, damn it, it must be that Riley guy!"

Grant frowned and said that although he had a conflict with Wu Di just now, he can still understand the current foreign enemy.

Gilbert is also a little anxious. Even if Wu Di is innocent, once this kind of news gets on him, it may not be erased, and it will seriously affect Wu Di's stardom:
"Let the legal department send a lawyer's letter to that reporter. Send it tonight. The public relations department will keep up with it. We must minimize the impact of this matter!"

Wu Di waved his hand:

"No, this will only make them more orgasm!"

"You think, the outside world doesn't know what's going on with me now. If we react violently, they will seize this big fuss and say that we don't have 300 taels of silver here, trying to cover it up. If it becomes so popular, it will be counterproductive."

"At that time, even if the drug testing team of the alliance has no problem after the test, they can use the alliance to focus on training me, and even help me cover up this conspiracy theory and make the topic go away!"

Gilbert also reacted after hearing it, and couldn't help but curse out:
"FXXK!"

Grant was also dazed by the pros and cons. His IQ could no longer keep up with Wu Di's thinking, so he had to ask:

"Then what do you say?"

Wu Di took out his mobile phone, read the article in detail, and quickly came up with a countermeasure:

"Take two steps, the first step..."

The two heaved a sigh of relief after hearing this, and both gave him a thumbs up.

The three chatted for a while about tomorrow night's home game against the Raptors, and then ended today's meal.
