The Whip of the God of Basketball

Chapter 151: Far more complex transactions

Joe Johnson's departure cannot be changed after all, and he will leave the place where his dream began tomorrow. . For more new chapters visit: ШЩЩ.⑦⑨XS.сОМ. A person's ‘sex’ is closely related to his growth experience. Johnson, who grew up in a close family, was not used to such parting. He held Leon and shed tears at the ‘door’ of his apartment.

This somewhat surprised Leon, because Johnson is always the indifferent and withdrawn guy in the team. He doesn't talk much, is a tepid sex, has no leadership on the court, and always plays silently. . It seems that he does not have such rich emotions, nor does he have any special attachments to the Celtics, and he has said more than once that he does not like the city of'Boston,' compared to his hometown of Little Rock. The cold is too small.

So when Leon drove to Paljuka’s house, he was still a little frustrated. In the past three years, he has seen the arrival and departure of many players, and has personally promoted some'transactions', but he watched his draft. The little guy who was personally valued, inspected and trained just left like this. No one can be indifferent, neither can Leon.

It's just that the beautiful atmosphere on the table in Palliuka's home quickly made him feel better. As the eldest daughter of the family, this was the first time Khomeinis returned to her father's home to participate in a more formal dinner in her adult life. Paliuka’s second wife, Jindi, was a tolerant and virtuous ‘female’. She gave birth to two ‘females’ and two sons for Paliuka. As a wealthy man, Paljuka’s life style has always been relatively simple. His family is not a mansion, but an ordinary single-family house. The family eats dinner made by Jindi in the living room, just like an ordinary American middle-class family. Life is the same.

This feeling made Leon feel strange and heartwarming. Whether it was in his previous life or in this life, he couldn't remember how long he hadn't had a meal with a family like this. Therefore, the inner boredom and distress caused by Joe Johnson was slowly resolved by the laughter at the table.

Leon and Paljuka did not talk about basketball in a tacit understanding. From their point of view, basketball is no longer a kind of entertainment but a job. They left more time and topics to Khomeinis to tell her experiences in Australia. Those "Mao" tribes who are still in primitive society. Those strange customs and unimaginable social system habits. Obviously this was a perfect family gathering. When the dinner was over, there were lively elements in the living room. Paliuka handed over the remnants of the table to the nanny to deal with, and Jindy took Khomeinis and his younger brother. The younger sister played cards and watched TV together, while he threw a cigarette to Leon and signaled to go to the balcony on the second floor to breathe.

"Thank you Leon, I thought I would never be able to eat at the table with Khomeinis in this life. You changed her a lot. I like to see her like this, just like when I met her mother. ... But I hope you don't follow the same path in the future." At this time, Paliuka, like an ordinary father, hopes that his'daughter' can live a happy and stable life.

Leon nodded. He didn't know what happened to Palliuca and Khomeinis' mother. In short, it was a bad memory. The two of them were smoking cigarettes in the evening breeze on the balcony on the second floor. . At the end of December, it was very cold in Boston. The cold current from Canada began to sweep the northeastern United States. So the two people returned to the house after smoking their cigarettes. In the study on the second floor, Paliu Card began to talk to Leon about some serious things related to the team.

"Just before dinner. I received a text message from Anji. He told me that the league office has approved this'transaction', as long as the player's physical examination is not problematic. The official will announce the news tomorrow, this' The trade is complete." Paljuka made a cup of coffee for Leon and talked about the trade that just happened today.

Leon nodded, thinking that Angie's hands and eyes were indeed well-rounded, and the ‘Trade’ message had just been delivered to the office, and there was news in a long time. However, Leon is not blind. He also has special connections in New York. He also received a short message when he had just eaten. He learned that the ‘Trade’ had been approved and he was waiting to post tomorrow. But Leon did not speak. He knew that Paljuka had something to do.

Sure enough, Paliuca sat down and said to Leon: "This'transaction' has been brewing since this summer. Since the'transaction' with the sun was blocked by you, Angie has begun to prepare for this'transaction'. He also targeted pj-Brown early...I have seen his scout report, which is very exciting, but it is also very difficult. He is the backbone of the Hornets, and if there is not enough chips, the Hornets can’t and don’t. Need to move him."

Paljuka began to talk about some of the details of this ‘transaction’, which Leon did not know. He has been busy training and building the team, but he is rather blocked from these things. Until now, he was wondering why the Hornets agreed to send Pj-Brown away. He is in his prime and the Hornets are not in the rebuilding period.

"This is the first time I have really come into contact with the NBA's'transactions'. I know almost nothing about it. This time I saw it really. Aside from the technical details, I think you are sure I understand better than I am that there are two key people and one key thing that can be accomplished in this'transaction'." As Paliuka took out a book from the shelf, he flipped it through and placed it in front of Leon. Leon stepped forward and found that this was a photo album of Celtics history, containing old photos of various stadiums from the 1950s to the 80s. There are both well-known superstars and some important but less well-known figures in Celtic history. For example, Leon saw Siegfried, who was resting on the bench with his knee broken. photo.

Paljuka turned to a page of color photos from the 1970s, including Havlicek and Dave Cowens, all of whom Leon knew. However, when Paliuca pointed to a photo of a black player hooking at the basket, Leon shook his head, saying that it was too clear who he was, the photo was not clear, his face was dark and the background was dark. . But the defender Leon did recognize it. It was Phil Jackson, with his signature ‘sex’ shaggy hair and a name on his back.

"It seems that our memory genius also doesn't know something, take a closer look, his face, this guy is Paul Silas." Paliuka smiled and said to Leon. After hearing this name, Leon suddenly realized that Paul Silas, now the head coach of the New Orleans Hornets, was also a Celtic player in the past!

"Yes, Silas is also an old Celtic. Moreover, his head coach is inherited from Dave Cowens. He used to be an assistant to Cowens. Now Cowens is back in 'Stone is here. You know, with Cowens and Silas, this'transaction' is difficult, but it is possible to negotiate, because the feelings and relationships are there, there is room for return." As a mature and experienced businessman, Paljuka still has a good way of doing business.

"With two key people, there is one other key thing. The Hornets’ previous general manager was Bob Buss from the Spurs, but this year it’s changed to Jeff Bauer. According to Angie's information, the Hornets The main task assigned to Bauer by his boss... is to control his salary and avoid the luxury tax. Pj-Brown’s contract is big or small, but it does hinder the Hornets’ further “operation” space. This time they One of the considerations of the trade is that by splitting the contract through the trade, the contract between Batty and Tapanko will expire, and Joe is a rookie contract, plus the pick, which makes the Hornets The space is more flexible. "In the NBA's trading market, the transmission of information is very important.

But even so, Leon still couldn't understand. He asked: "Just to save money, did you trade such a good player like Pj-Brown?"

Paljuka smiled and said: "Nba is still a'door' business after all. And don't you think the Hornets are losing. Joe is a very potential player. His future value is not smaller than Brown. The Hornets have missed it. A Kobe, maybe they also want to make up for it. I think you know the best about Joe's ability."

Paljuka’s words silenced Leon~www.readwn.com~ Tomorrow, Joe Johnson will really leave Boston.

The two then talked about the team’s salary and the future. Paljuka specifically mentioned that Angie’s deal is likely to cause the Celtics to get Garnett's plan to be stranded, because Angie believes that the Canadian It is impossible for Garnett to get Garnett for his salary and Leon's skills, so he'trades' to Brown to reinforce him, and also wants Leon to die and introduce Garnett.

Leon just smiled at this and did not respond.

But when the conversation was about to end, Leon remembered a question and asked: "You said Angie started planning this'transaction' in the summer. I remember...Cowens hadn't come yet. It was Auerbach who recalled Cowens. Could it be that Arnold had already begun to help the'transaction' at that time?"

Paljuka shook his head and said: "I did hear that Auerbach wanted to recall Cowens, but the two had a deep grievance, and Cowens didn't want to come back. In the end, Danny Angie came forward and the two talked. It was a long time before Cowens agreed to return to be an assistant coach."

"Really..." Leon realized at this time that not all the resources he got had been inherited from Auerbach. Q
