Chapter 207 The Truth
"Joe, you also received a call from Mike." When Ruan Erniu went to Woodson's room, he happened to meet Jiongsen.

Needless to say, he also got a call from Woodson.

"Kraft, didn't Mike tell you the specific transaction partner?" Jon Jonson asked.

Ruan Erniu shook his head and said, "What's the point of guessing now, he will tell us the truth soon."

Afterwards, Ruan Erniu knocked on the door.

Woodson said, "Come in!"

Ruan Erniu and Jiong Jisen walked in together.

Woodson motioned for the two to sit down, and got straight to the point: "Although there have been various false news circulating before, Billy has indeed settled this time. If there are no accidents in the later medical examination, this transaction has been considered a success."

Ruan Erniu also asked directly: "Who is it? What do we need to pay?"

Woodson handed the mobile phone to Ruan Erniu, on which was the relevant information sent to him by Billy Knight, which contained detailed transaction partners and information.

As soon as Ruan Erniu took it over, Jiongjisen also joined him immediately.

"Mike Bibby, it's him!" Ruan Erniu returned the phone to Woodson.

Woodson said: "Do you know anything about this league No. [-]?"

Jon Jonson said: "This is a guy whose strength is greater than his fame. At his peak, he was also a player who could contribute 21+5 per game. Moreover, he was also a member of that Kings team."

Ruan Erniu smiled and said, "I know that too. It is said to be the most gorgeous Princeton in history. I understand that Billy values ​​his scoring ability without the ball, right?"

Egghead nodded and said: "That's right, this is the most important thing. Billy and I have discussed this transaction many times. Both you and Joe need the ball in their hands.

Another strong ball handler is not a good thing for the team, so our selection goal must be more biased towards players who can play off the ball. "

Egghead paused, and continued, "However, our original goal was not Bibby."

囧囧sen asked curiously: "Then who was the first choice?"

Woodson said: "Chauncey Billups of the Pistons, it's a pity that the Detroit people don't want to sell their FMVP at all. The next option, the player is very interested, but the opposing team is not willing to let it go easily. people."

Ruan Erniu thought for a while, and unexpectedly guessed the answer: "You mean Jason Kidd of the Nets, right?"

Egghead smiled and asked, "How did you guess that?"

Ruan Erniu said: "Actually, Kidd called me in private, but when I think of his salary close to 2000 million yuan, I just know that we have no fate with this active triple-double king."

Woodson shook his head and said, "Billy can't be blamed for this. On the one hand, we are not allowed to pay too much in terms of lineup matching. On the other hand, our two bosses will not agree to trade Kidd."

Ruan Erniu rubbed his chin and said to Woodson: "These are not important anymore, let's talk about the price we need to pay for trading Bibby."

Woodson nodded and said: "It's clearly written on the phone, one for four, Anthony (Johnson), Tyronn (Lu), Sheldon (Williams) and Lorenzen (Wright), plus a second round picks."

囧囧sen heaved a long sigh and said: "One for four, and a second-round pick, this price is really not small. However, Bibby's strength is indeed worth the price."

Ruan Erniu blinked, thought for a while and said, "If I remember correctly, next year we won't even have a draft pick?"

Woodson said: "But we got much-needed immediate combat power, which is the most important thing to improve the team's performance."

Ruan Erniu said calmly, "So, what do we need to do now?"

Woodson nodded in relief, and secretly said: "Kraft is indeed a qualified leader. He didn't lose his mind just because he lost his teammates."

"After the deal is announced, let Mike Bibby integrate into the team as soon as possible. You two are the leaders of the team. I hope you can have a chemical reaction with your new teammates as soon as possible." Woodson said, "And , please keep this secret for the time being, for the stability of the team, we need everything to go on as usual, and, in the next few games, I will increase the playing time of the traded players, do you understand?"

Ruan Er Niu Xin said, "This is a chance for the king to inspect the goods."

So Ruan Erniu and Jiongjisen said at the same time: "Understood!"

……

囧囧sen left Woodson's room first, but Ruan Erniu stayed behind.

As a rookie, but also the de facto boss of the team, Woodson still wants to ask him a few more words: "Do you think it is heartless, no matter what, we are human beings, not machines."

Ruan Erniu shook his head with a wry smile and said, "I don't know how to express my feelings, because this is not just my business. This is the survival rule of the entire alliance, and everyone must abide by it."

Woodson said with a smile: "Compared to ordinary company employees, we are a group of people who are more united and cohesive.

But at the end of the day, the team is also a company.As long as it is a company, there will be a normal flow of people.This is something no one can stop.

Even me, even Billy, may not be able to stay in my position for a long time. "

Ruan Erniu pursed his lips and said, "Of course it includes me. If one day, the team feels that my value has dropped, they will probably trade me out immediately."

Woodson said: "So, you have to improve your strength so that no one dares to trade you easily."

Ruan Erniu submissively agreed with Woodson’s suggestion. In fact, he appreciated LeBron James’ opinion even more in his heart—we should not only make ourselves stronger, but also learn to compete with the capital, because we are the ones who The league brings the main body of the ratings.

After finishing the conversation with Woodson, both Ruan Erniu and Jiong Jisen swallowed their words. The momentum of the team is so good, the two of them need to stabilize the morale of the army, and everything should be as if no one left.

The next day, the Eagles took a scheduled flight and flew back to Atlanta.

The moment they got off the plane, they were stunned by a heavyweight trade in the league.

On February 2008, 2, the Los Angeles Lakers and Memphis Grizzlies completed the transaction.

The Lakers sent Kwame Brown, Javaris Corittenton, Aaron McGee, the signing rights to Marc Gasol, two future draft picks and some cash for Pau Gasol and a A future second-round pick.

This is destined to be a big deal that can be compared with the Green Army's formation of BIG3.

Kobe Bryant, a Virgo, has finally found his true love, and he is Pau Gasol, a Cancer.

Hmm, did anyone raise an objection?
Have!
This person is Popovich of the Spurs. This cunning old man said: "This is a robbery, a complete robbery."

Later, Popovich also said angrily: "In the future, the league should set up a trade arbitration committee composed of the head coaches of each team to prevent transactions similar to "dispatch" from happening."

Well, nobody paid him any attention!

Now as long as you are not blind, you will understand what David Stern is doing. The NBA needs nostalgia, and the yellow-green battle is the most classic finals combination.

　Just got the news that Alan Thicke is gone. I miss Dr. Seaver forever, Jason, and have a good journey.
