Chapter 249: The Transaction Behind Davidson's Back
In the season just ended, Nelson did not continue to serve as the head coach of a certain team, but joined the Dallas Mavericks as general manager of the Mavericks.
Tonight he came to the draft on behalf of the Mavericks.
"Mr. Nelson, I haven't seen each other some days." Davidson gave Old Nelson a hug enthusiastically.
Rockets head coach Tang Shuai, not far away, came over.
"Wilson, thank you, I wish us a happy deal." Tang Shuai said to Davidson with a smile on his face.
Davidson was confused. What medicine did Tang Shuai take wrong? Why did he thank himself for his good things?
trade?!
In an instant, Davidson felt an ominous premonition.
Could it be that Petri had traded with the Rockets without telling him?
It seems that Petri can really do this kind of thing.
The team general manager has the right to be fully responsible for the transaction. Now, if you don’t know about Davidson, it is quite possible to finalize the transaction in just over a day.
Davidson was extremely angry, but it was difficult to ask Tang Shuai carefully.
If you ask, wouldn’t you tell everyone here that you are completely unaware of this transaction?!
You should know that Davidson was the meritorious head coach who just led the team to win the championship. As a result, the team did not notify him of such a big deal.
If this is known, Davidson's face would be left without a place, which is really embarrassing.
Davidson is naturally at his current age and cannot be discussed in public.
However, Davidson still wants to figure out what the deal is.
"Rudy, we haven't seen each other for some days. You've made a lot of money in this deal!" Davidson calmed down, squeezed a smile on his face, and said to Tang Shuai.
Shuai Tang was also very happy because Davidson was right. If this deal broke out, most people in the circle would definitely think that the Rockets were the winners.
But in front of Davidson, Tang Shuai still waved his hand with a smile, "How can you know whether it is a profit or a loss in trading now?"
"You have to know that it is quite risky to trade Murraysan. After all, he was injured in the finals before. Whether he can return to the peak in the new season is still a matter of two things."
Davidson's heart tightened, and he couldn't help but burst into anger. Petri had indeed sold Murray Sang.
The key is to sell it to the Rockets. Davidson really can't figure out what chips the Rockets can take out.
"Rudy, George's injury is not serious. In fact, it is much more valuable than the chips you give." Davidson continued to talk.
"This is not necessarily true. Sam, Robert and Clyde, you will not lose at all." The smile on Tang Shuai betrayed him. Obviously, he felt that the king must have lost this wave.
Davidson frowned, and the three people Tang Shuai said, Davidson immediately guessed the main content of the transaction.
The Kings took out Murraysan, while the Rockets took out Drexler, Robert Hori and Sam Kassel to reach a deal.
Judging from this trading plan, it is very likely that the Kings will have to post a draft pick.
After all, looking at Tang Shuai's expression, he was obviously quite satisfied with the deal. If it were just three to one, he would probably not be so happy to laugh.
Davidson almost couldn't control his anger. At first glance, the deal seemed to be completely unrealized and made a profit.
After all, there is a Drexler in the transaction. You should know that this is a big player that the Rockets only exchanged for half of the team.
But Davidson is so angry that Drexler is the point.
Last season, Drexler signed a two-year, $11 million contract with the Rockets, which happened to expire next season.
And after the later stage, everyone knew that Drexler would definitely retire...
Drexler is now 35 years old, and in terms of value, he is even far inferior to Barkley.
With the help of this deal, the Kings can indeed free up more than 5 million in salary space after the end of next season, but it also means that they will send Murraysan out in vain and have nothing to get.
The two players Horry and Kassel sent by the Rockets are actually pretty good, but Davidson must look down on him...
If fans in later generations look at this deal, they will definitely see that the Kings made a big profit, especially the alien Kassel, who is a very valuable player.
But Davidson is not aware of all future events at the moment, so naturally it is impossible for him to know Kassel's future achievements.
So Davidson was very angry. Perhaps in Petri's opinion, the essence of this deal was extremely important.
At the end of next season, we can clear out more than 5 million in salary space, get ready-to-play combat power like Drexler and Horry, as well as potential young players like Kassel...
No matter how you look at it, it is a very cost-effective deal, but Davidson cannot accept the deal because it is inconsistent with his philosophy.
What's more, this time, Peterley kept himself completely in the dark, which made Davidson even more unhappy.
... Computer::/
"It seems that the next season will be the last season for him to coach the Kings." Davidson thought to himself.
When he met a general manager like Petri, Davidson had completely lost his interest in continuing to coach the King.
...
After a bitter smile at Shuai Tang, Davidson sat down and waited for the start of tonight's draft.
Coincidentally, next to the seat assigned by the King tonight is the Vancouver Grizzlies, who are also Western teams.
This time the Grizzlies are the boss John McCaw personally, and it is obvious that he attaches great importance to the Grizzlies' draft.
The Grizzlies have only joined the league in 1995 for such a short time, but they have actually changed their bosses.
John McCaw is the second boss of the Grizzlies...
In March 1995, before the Grizzlies played a game, their former boss Griffith transferred the team's main ownership to John McCaw.
When Davidson left the Nets and the Grizzlies contacted Davidson, it was John McCaw who was in charge of the Grizzlies.
Seeing Davidson beside him, McCaw sighed...
If the Grizzlies had invited Davidson, it might have been another scene now, right?
Perhaps it is not Saramanto who has reached the finals in the past two years, but their Grizzlies.
Perhaps the team that will hit the championship podium this year is their Vancouver Grizzlies!
Murraysan, Bus and Nash are all players selected by Davidson. With three of them joining the Grizzlies, even if the Grizzlies find ten supporting players from the summer league, their record will definitely not be much worse. It is quite possible to even reach the division final.
