Chapter 230 Depressed Jordan
Bruce rubbed his brows with a wry smile, and subconsciously glanced at the phone receiver that had been put back, feeling depressed for a while!
Since the Wizards had Jordan joining, the team originally thought that there would be some turning points when the "Basketball Emperor" joined, but as the team was still a little lifeless, Jordan, who had great ambitions, couldn't stand it anymore. Kind of bland!
"Lanny, I need your help!" Bruce called Wilkens with a wry smile, feeling unspeakably depressed about Jordan's matter!
Wilkens hung up the phone curiously, he couldn't tell what Bruce said by surprise!
After saying goodbye to his wife, Wilkens quickly came to the Warriors' arena with some doubts!
"Bang bang!~"
After a knock on the door, Bruce cheered up and secretly said expectantly, "Come in!"
Wilkens walked in curiously, looked behind the desk, Bruce looked a little depressed, and couldn't help but said, "Did you encounter any difficulties?"
"Okay, you should sit down first!" Bruce stood up helplessly, poured a cup of coffee for Wilkens, and then spoke slowly!
After returning to Oakland, Bruce originally planned to end his phone call with Charlize Theron and prepare to go home, but with a call from Jordan, he couldn't help thinking hard!
During the phone call, Jordan was as strong as ever. Although Bruce could refuse his request, he was not interested in the current Wizards lineup!
"Mike wants Larry (Hughes)!" Bruce looked at the astonished Wilkens with a wry smile, and shrugged before he asked, "This strong guy only prepared two Players who are on the downhill road, they are not ready to take out high-quality chips in exchange for it!"
"Then you can refuse!" Wilkens looked at Bruce speechlessly. Although Jordan's influence is extraordinary, this alliance is after all a business-oriented one. of!
"Of course I want to simply refuse, but Mike's draft pick is one of the bargaining chips that I can't refuse!" Bruce shook his head in distress, picked up his coffee and took a big sip!
"Draft picks??" Wilkens said in surprise, then thought of Bruce's operations in the past few years, and asked eagerly, "How many draft picks will he trade for Larry?"
"Sorry, they are only willing to take out the second round of 02 and the top eight protected picks of the first round of 03!" Bruce said a little depressed. It is not impossible for Hughes to trade now, but in order to make the Warriors In the following seasons, he will gain more room to operate, but he does not want to take over these two bad contracts that still have two years left!
Coupled with the fact that the Warriors have a large number of small forwards and point guards, Bruce absolutely does not want to waste two spots in vain to support one of these two players!
Chris Whitney and Michael Smith, the former is a guard with a height of 1 meters, and the latter is a veteran small forward who entered the league in 83!
Although the two had good statistics and performances in the past, with the sharp decline in their competitive status, they have gradually become bad contracts for the Wizards. Therefore, considering the future operation, Bruce said nothing. Willing to take over the two!
"Mike is indeed a little surprising!" After hearing Bruce's analysis and retelling, Wilkens couldn't help frowning and said unhappily.
"If Mike shows his sincerity, I don't mind closing the deal with him, but when he said the chip, I just feel that this guy is taking us for a fool!" Bruce drank his coffee depressed After that, he stood up and walked towards the small bar, and said unhappily: "The Wizards already have a lot of bad contracts. Judging from Mike's actions, they will definitely make huge adjustments this season. This is the best possible outcome!"
"Mitch (Richmond), Rod (Strickland) and Juwan (Howard), the three of them have become a huge salary burden for the Wizards, although Juwan and Rich's competitive status is still maintained. That’s right, but it’s obvious that it’s hard for the team to win a single victory!” Returning to the desk, Bruce recalled the information he had seen before, and couldn’t help secretly admiring the manager who signed these people back then!
"The injuries of Mickey and Rhodes have always been the most troublesome problem for the Wizards. Even if they still maintain a good competitive state, the frequent injuries really make them feel a little inadequate in this era of star explosion!" Will Kens said with some regret, thinking that Richmond had reached his best growth period in the Warriors before, he couldn't help shaking his head helplessly!
"So, Mike's eagerness to clear the salary space is a must move!" Bruce looked at Wilkens seriously, and made the final guess with absolute certainty!
"Hehe, Mike must want to try to prevent the Wizards from becoming a huge joke after the league implements the "luxury tax" next season!" Wilkens nodded in agreement, referring to the luxury tax stipulated by the league next season. Tax execution plan, he felt Jordan's current depression and helplessness more and more!
Washington.
Mike Jordan looked at the team's player composition and coaching staff list in his hand, frowning and closed it depressed: "I hope Bruce will sell me a favor!"
Since Jordan joined the Wizards, nothing exciting has happened on this team. Although there are three high-paid stars in the team, these three guys really make him so depressed that he wants to curse!
Since Juwan Howard won the jaw-dropping [-] million yuan contract that year, in the following years, his state has declined like an elevator.
From the average of 19 points, 1 assists and 3 rebounds per game when he first signed the contract, this season, the data suddenly dropped significantly. His scoring decreased by a little more than two points, and his rebounds were only 8. 8, plus the dispensable 1 assists, Howard suddenly held a huge contract of up to 6 million US dollars, but played a contract of at most 8 million!
Coupled with the continuous injury and truce of Richmond and Strickland, this made Jordan, who wanted to do something, feel helpless and disappointed.
This has to be said about the Wizards. At that time, the manager was severely clamped in the head by the gate.
如果再加上99年，给里奇蒙德和斯特里克兰相继在他们高达33岁和34岁的年龄开出一份4年4000万的全额保障合同，这简直令奇才队蓦然成为整个联盟的笑柄！
"Damn it!" Thinking of the dismal record of the Wizards, Jordan couldn't help but regret buying a stake in this capital team!
Since he was invited by Wizards owner Abby Pollin, and he was very interested in owning a team, he agreed to Pauline's invitation!
But who knows, with the performance of the Wizards gradually struggling, he almost wants to kill the anger!
Failure is something in his dictionary that makes him absolutely want to go crazy. Whether it is when he was a player or as the current president of basketball affairs for the Wizards, he absolutely does not want to see failures appearing constantly!
With the development of the 2000-2001 season, despite many attempts in the summer to trade out the famous "high salary and low ability" guys in the team, due to various reasons, no team in the league is willing to take over!
In this way, with unwillingness and anger, Jordan couldn't help contacting potential sellers again one month after the start of the new season!
Oakland.
Bruce and Wilkens both frowned and thought about the feasibility of this deal, and couldn't help but get entangled with Jordan's bargaining chips for a while.
"Lanny, how much do you think Larry is worth?" Bruce couldn't help but feel this irritating emotion.
"Larry's value is very valuable in the eyes of other teams, but it is not the same thing in our eyes!" Wilkens frowned and thought for a while, then combined his understanding and observation, seriously Said: "Larry is now a little redundant in the Warriors. Although he can still score 16 points and 6 rebounds per game, but because of the slack on the defensive end, he has not made a real contribution to the team. Instead, it appears to be a bit troublesome at some critical junctures!"
To be honest, when Bruce was considering a trade, the first thing Bruce thought of was Marshall, not Larry Hughes, who performed well on the offensive end. What happened!
If there is no Posey and the crazy Bowen on the defensive end, there must be a huge hole in the position of the small forward. It is because of the good performance of the two that they can cover up Hughes' disadvantages very tightly, which makes Hughes It was difficult for Bruce to put this guy with a strong offensive performance on the trading list for a while!
"So, do you think it is possible for us to launch a targeted three-party transaction?" Bruce said slowly, frowning at Wilkens.
"This way is the best choice, and Mike will definitely want to participate!" Wilkens suddenly showed a smile on his face. Thinking of this kind of suggestion that may get good returns for all three parties, he very much agrees with Bruce's proposal !
"Well, I will evaluate some possible existences as soon as possible!" With Wilkens' confirmation, Bruce finally has his own goal!
With the imminent imposition of the "luxury tax" next season, all teams in the league will further reduce their salary space. In this situation, it is not difficult to imagine the madness that will be staged in the mid-term trade and next summer!
Then, as the Warriors exploded with energy, they surprised everyone with a 11-10 record as November drew to a close!
My son's diarrhea has finally improved a little bit, and I will try to restore the third shift tomorrow!
