Jeff Petrie, the No. 8 show in 1971, retired because of a knee injury after playing for 8 years. After retiring, he worked in the enterprise and then entered the Trail Blazers management team. From 9o to 1994, he led the team two He made it to the finals and has been the president and general manager of the team since 94. He has gained power and won the title of best general manager twice in 1999 and o1.

Just looking at this resume, you know that this is not a bad general manager. You must know that the Kings team that swept the league in the early 21st century was created by him.

But it was him who replaced Chris Webb and Bibby with a bunch of junk contracts, Peja replaced Artest, and Artest changed hands to the Rockets.

As a person grows older, judgments about certain things will go awry, making him one of the most spammy spokespersons.

"Jj Hickson and Marcus Thornton, how about your draft pick next year?"

"No, I won't do that."

What Tang Tian didn't expect was that Petri directly rejected his proposal.

Although he said a lot later, Petrie also seems to be trying to rot and train young players, and he is not willing to send next year's round sign.

Hanging up the phone, Tang Tian frowned.

This start is not good. After four games, it seems that even people like Petrie have some knowledge of the team's strength and basically set the tone for the season.

But it shouldn't.

If he remembered correctly, the previous Cavaliers traded Hickson for the Kings' protected round in 11 years, and now he has added an additional Thornton.

And if you look at the chips alone, the chips obtained by trading Artest last year are far worse than what he now offers.

Just as he considered turning his attention to the Sun management, Case Jones knocked in.

"This is Dante's proposal to increase sales of peripheral products. This guy is very motivated." Jones holds a report in his hand.

In addition to the player trade contract signing, the nba manager group is also responsible for some sales of peripheral products and so on.

Tang Tian took a look and saw that in addition to some conventional sales methods, there are even custom products like Tang Tian shaking his head dolls for hungry marketing.

"This boy, I have to charge him." Tang Tian grumbled.

Jones talked a few words and was about to go out. Tang Tian remembered something and called out to him.

"Case, you were with the Rockets last season. How did the deal from Morey come to Artest when I traded it? I contacted their general manager Petri, and it didn't seem to be so easy to communicate."

"Yes, Petrie is an old fox. He has been doing this for a long time. He didn't agree, but the Kings really did not make the decision, but the team owner Gavin Maruff, who is now the power of the Maruff family. "

"This way ..." Tang Tian realized.

In the same way, the NBA boss has several types. One is completely indifferent to the team. For example, the Heat team owner Mickey Allison, the Heat team basically covers Pat Riley's hands; there are occasional affairs. For example, Alexander of the Rockets, this is also the practice of most bosses; the last one is basically the exercise of the president's rights, will often interfere with the management of the team, the representative is the Lakers' Bath family.

Now it seems that the Maruff family is the same.

"You help me make an appointment with Gavin Maruff and say that I want to have a meal with him."

The next day, Tang Tianfei made a trip to Sacramento and met the Kings boss at Gavin Maruff's home.

After a brief greeting, Tang Tian went straight to the subject.

"No, no, Jeff just talked to me recently. The main goal of the Kings this season is to train Tyreke. We will not send out the draft pick for next year." Maruff waved and refused immediately after listening.

"I think Terek is a very capable rookie. He played five games, averaging 22 points, 5 rebounds and 5 assists. Although the sample size is not large, he is likely to become Oscar Robertson, Michael · Jordan and LeBron James, the fourth man to complete the rookie season 2o + 5 + 5. "

"Yes, we have a great draft this year." Maruff laughed when he heard Tang Tian say this.

"So I think that a rookie with such a strong combat force will have a big blow to his mood if he doesn't have a sufficient record." Tang Tian went on to say that his words were not flickering. Actually, Evans in the previous life The reason why he became the representative of the rookie is the peak. In addition to the team's training and injuries, missed the playoffs year after year, but also consumed his fighting spirit a little bit.

Maluff lowered his head and didn't speak, he was thinking.

Seeing Maruff's response, he was far less determined than Petrie. Tang Tian knew he was looking for the right person this time.

"So now the team has Terek, Kevin Martin, Benno Udri, Jason Thompson, Omi Cassby, a bunch of young and motivated young players. Season. "

Maluff remained silent, but looked up at Tang Tian.

"Jj Hickson was last year's No. 19 show. He is talented, but what we need is a three-pointer, like Ryan Anderson. Carl Landry has a limited height and is more than enough to replace, but he plays a bit. Mian * j will shine when he arrives at the Kings. Marcus Thornton has also recently shown explosive scoring power. When he arrives at the Kings, it will be the greatest guarantee for the bench fire. "

Maruff nodded thoughtfully, he felt a little moved by Tang Tian.

"Look at us again, you should see my regular season hiring, we are not interested in this season, so we need a round, even if it is a lottery round," Tang Tian continued.

After listening to this, Maruff was happy, the implication of this sentence is that the Kings will make the playoffs next season.

"If you're really uneasy, you can add a top three pick to the draft, so that if you have a cornerstone player, you can also make choices." Tang Tian finally said, this is his bottom line.

Maruff was silent.

When Tang Tian thought he was going to call Petri, he finally looked up.

"You add another second round."

"Happy cooperation ~ lightnovelpub.net ~ Tang Tian got up and reached out.

Sure enough, the deal still has to find the right talent.

Shortly after returning to Cleveland, Tang Tian received a call from Petrie.

Although reluctant, he still had to listen to Maruff.

After making the call, the two sides negotiated the details of the transaction. The next day, the alliance official announced the transaction.

The Cavaliers sent JJ ​​Hickson, Marcus Thornton and the 2o11 second-round pick to get a 2o1o round pick from the Kings.
