Chapter 345 Trading target! !
After entering December, the Warriors' record has finally stabilized. If they have maintained a strong focus and a tight sense of the game, one day they will be crushed by the pressure!
Since the start of this season, except for Carter's data which is still exciting, the data of everyone else has declined!
Of course, the decline is not only not a bad thing, but the players have done very well the team basketball required by Wilkens.
Because of Olajuwon and Dampier, Ben Wallace averaged 12 rebounds per game before. After they got a lot of playing time, his rebounds gradually slipped down!
Until the beginning of this month, Wallace's rebounding average gradually dropped to 8 rebounds.
If it weren't for his still efficient performance on the defensive end, Wilkens would definitely go crazy!
For the rest of the positions, because there are too many players to play, they all have different degrees of data decline!
On December 12, after a big defeat, the Warriors finally returned to their previous stable state!
On this day, when Bruce was sitting in the office chair and looking at some documents, a phone call suddenly made him excited!
Scott Layden walked back and forth in his office with some irritability. In order for the Knicks to make adjustments as soon as possible, he had to try to trade with Bruce's Warriors!
As we all know, the Warriors have a large number of high-quality chips. If Bruce really releases the news of the trade, I am afraid that all the teams in the league will take action!
Now, under the pressure of James Dolan and many fans, Scott Layden has to make some changes to the team as soon as possible, otherwise getting out of class will be his final outcome!
"Damn it, are we going to lose the pick?" Scott Layden stopped suddenly, and said in a daze with some reluctance.
Bruce's trading principles in the league are already well known. If there is no draft pick involved in the transaction, I am afraid that some transactions will not happen!
Judging from the current performance of the Knicks, it is obvious that they have a lot of difficulty entering the playoffs!
Even though there is still a lot of time before the playoffs, the chaotic situation of the team makes him feel very pessimistic!
Before, because of Jeff Van Gundy's resignation, a series of scandals broke out among the players, between the management and the boss.
Thinking of the team's recent terrible situation, especially with Bruce's ambiguous reply before, this can't help but make Scott Layden very depressed!
After being stunned for a moment, a hesitation flashed across Scott Layden's face, then he gritted his teeth and picked up the phone placed on the desk!
In Auckland, Bruce enjoyed sitting on the lawn outside the villa, admiring the surrounding green scenery, and under the sea breeze, he gradually entered an ethereal state!
"It's been a long time since I've felt this kind of tranquil beauty!" Bruce closed his eyes slightly, and took a deep breath with great enjoyment!
"Toot!~"
Somewhat half asleep, Bruce was suddenly awakened by the ringing of the mobile phone placed on the small table beside him!
"It's really annoying!" Bruce picked up the phone with some displeasure: "Who is it?"
"Aha, Bruce, it sounds like you're in a very good mood!" Hearing the displeasure in Bruce's words, Scott Layden gave a small compliment without blushing!
"Mr. Scott, what's the matter with you?" Although he was in a slightly better mood, Bruce's tone was still a bit stiff!
For the Knicks manager, Bruce had a conversation with him before, although his feelings made Bruce feel pretty good, but now is a very comfortable moment, suddenly awakened by a phone call, presumably no one Don't want to get angry!
"Uh... Regarding the previous transaction, I wonder what you think about it?" A trace of displeasure flashed across Scott Layden's face, and he still suppressed his anger and said.
"A deal?" Hearing what the other party said, Bruce's eyes narrowed slightly!
According to the simple conversation between the two before, Scott Layden's request is obviously a bit excessive!
Because of Billups' rapid growth, his talent has attracted the attention of a large number of teams.
However, for Bruce, he will not be traded, which will also block the temptations of other teams.
And the previous Scott Layden didn't know that the string was wrong, and he wanted to use a lot of tricks and his own two first-round picks to win, which obviously didn't suit Bruce's taste!
"Sorry, Scott, I don't think there is any need for us to continue talking. I said before that Chauncey will not trade!" Bruce said very seriously.
Hearing Bruce's words, Scott Layden couldn't help being a little embarrassed.
After several days of consideration and research, he had come to Bruce's very resolute attitude, and looking at the chips he had put out, it was obviously not so reciprocal!
Scott Layden was silent for a moment, and then he said helplessly: "Bruce, you know the situation of our team, if you will accept Ratwell (Sprewell), we will not hesitate at all. He gave it to you!"
"God, Scott, are you joking?" Bruce was almost annoyed by his words. Sprewell was traded in his hands, even though his competitive state remained very good, but Before Sprewell vowed to say "I will never play for the Warriors in this life", it still made Bruce a little upset!
What's more, now that Scott Layden wants to use him to trade, this is simply a big joke!
"This...hehe!" Scott Layden heard Bruce's surprised words, and thinking of the huge conflict between Sprewell and the Warriors before, he couldn't help but said with some embarrassment: "Sorry, I'm just talking to you, I was just kidding!"
"Pfft!~" After drinking the juice in his mouth just now, Bruce spit it out after hearing the other party's words. He has never seen a team manager look like this!
"Good guy, it seems that this guy is under a lot of pressure!" Bruce said with a smile to himself, and then said in a very serious tone: "Scott, if you want to complete a deal with us that is very good for both parties, Please show some sincerity!"
Hearing Bruce's words, Scott Layden couldn't help but fell into depression. After a while, he gritted his teeth and said, "Who will you take out?"
"Here we come!!" Bruce smiled playfully, and his lying body suddenly sat up straight: "You have been hit by injuries at the center position and are about to become a display. I don't mind providing your team with A very good player!!"
Bruce's words suddenly made Scott Leiden feel unbelievable!
As we all know, the insiders of the Warriors are well-known in the entire league. They not only have two defensive champions Dampier and Wallace, but with the joining of Olajuwon and Oakley who can appear in the center position for some time, except The mighty Lakers, the Warriors' interior is definitely among the top three in the league!
And now Bruce suddenly said that, which made Scott Layden unbelievable, and at the same time, a strong surprise appeared in his heart!
Camby has completely exposed his "glass legs" this season. Since the beginning of this season, Camby has been struggling with injuries.
The Knicks, who were going to focus on training Camby, fell into a huge ridicule after he was injured, especially after paying him a huge contract back then!
There is no doubt about Camby's ability, but his excessive injuries and his difficulty in gaining weight make him constantly eroded by injuries!
Coupled with the retirement of the legendary Australian center Luke Longley last season, the Knicks' inside line can be described as barren!
So, now that he suddenly heard Bruce's words, Scott Layden suddenly felt that even though Mark Jackson was not young, he could still control the important organizational tasks of the team!
Scott Layden took a few deep breaths, forcing himself to calm down as soon as possible.
For a moment, when Bruce was a little confused, he finally said with a trembling voice: "We appreciate Ben's ability very much. I think with his joining, we will gradually get on the right track!"
"This." Bruce was dumbfounded for a while, and felt a little baffled by what he said and the firm tone!
"Sorry, Scott, it seems that you failed to collect information on the Warriors before!" Bruce rubbed his head a little depressed, he was almost taken aback by Scott Layden. .Well. .The simple words are scary!
As the manager of a team, even if the chips offered by the opponent are extremely tempting, these people have to maintain the steadiness and calmness they have acquired through years of training!
Kind of like Scott Layden. .Bruce had to secretly admire the simple situation!
"Oh, no, no, no, look at me!" Scott Layden suddenly discovered his abnormality, and he hurriedly remedied: "Uh...I mean...uh!~"
Hearing the other party's hesitation for a long time without being able to say one, two, three, Bruce didn't want to go around with him at all.
"Scott, we will take out Eric Dampier as the main bargaining chip this time, of course, you can refuse!" Bruce said very simply.
Hearing Bruce's words suddenly, Scott Layden couldn't help but fell into deep thought!
Regarding Dampier's matter, I am afraid that the team managers of some years are very clear!
Because of the shortage of centers in the league, an insider with fairly good competitive ability is what all managers are eager to get.
And Dampier, as a well-known center in the league, Scott Layden is also very clear about his ability!
"If it's Eric, we would welcome him very much!" Although Wallace failed to get the rebounding and defensive monster, with the addition of Dampier, the Knicks will have more tactical execution Quite a few changes!
Coupled with Dampier's years of performance in the starting position and stable scoring and rebounding ability, even if there are some injuries, this is much better than the current Camby!
"Since you have accepted my main chip, how about you? Mr. Scott!" Bruce said with some expectation, he already had the players and other things he wanted!
"Well." Scott Layden was silent for a moment, and then said with some dignity: "Except for our starters for the Knicks, you can choose players at will!"
"Hiss!!" Scott Layden's words made Bruce gasp!
Even though the Knicks' players are generally old and have some injury problems, their benches still sit with Charlie Ward, Clarence Witherspoon, Kurt Thomas and others, and Bruce The target is Kurt Thomas, a good backup center!
