Chapter 185: [Necessary transaction, 2 goals]

When Glenn called, Boykins was working out in the gym, preparing for the summer league.
The height disadvantage makes him have enough strength and balance to stand in the NBA, otherwise a guard can knock him down, how to defend?
He held dumbbells in one hand to practice biceps, and took the call in one hand. "Hello."
"Hello, Earl Boykins? I'm Glenn Gruward, the Raptors manager. I want to invite you to join. I'll first ask about your contract."
"Raptors?" Boykins was taken aback, throwing dumbbells on the ground and nearly smashing his foot into a crushing fracture.
Many people in the gym watched it. He didn't care about dumbbells and said excitedly: "Hello manager, I'm a free man."
Glenn sighed, of course I know that you are a free agent. I changed the temporary workers of two teams in one season, and I didn't even have an agent. Why did Jerry look at you?
"Come to Toronto to do a body side. If there is no problem, we plan to sign a contract with you. The first year is definitely full coverage. You can think about it."
"Ah?" Boykins was stunned. Pies fell from the sky.
Actually, instead of participating in the preseason, he signed directly. What did the Raptors look at me? Do I have any unknown advantages?
Last season, Boykins played a total of 22 games on behalf of the two teams, averaging 3 points and 1.5 rebounds, shooting 38% from the field and 16.7% from the 3-point range. This data doesn’t look like a contract, he thought Participate in the summer league only to get a chance to play a preseason on behalf of a team.
It is a luxury for him to sign a contract for a whole year and have a guaranteed base salary.
"Hello, are you listening?" Glenn asked.
"Listening, I'm fine, I can go to Toronto tomorrow." Boykins said excitedly.
"Okay, you will be at the stadium tomorrow afternoon at three o'clock. I will send you a number and contact the staff..."
After receiving the text message, Boykins immediately left the gym with his sports bag and shouted in excitement.
He loves basketball more than anyone. Despite suffering countless discrimination and white eyes on the court, he persisted and never thought of giving up.
His family and friends hardly support him to play basketball. He thinks that his height is an illusion to become an NBA player. He should see a psychologist.
In the four-year NCAA, he averaged 18.1 points per game, and he was still uninterested on draft night. No matter which team you go to for an interview, the opponent will dislike his height and doubt his ability.
Now, he can finally raise his eyebrows and exhale, or join his favorite Raptors. Coincidentally, before graduating from college, he used the example of "Little Flying Squirrel" Stardamer.
Stadamer 178CM, played 20.2 points and 8.8 assists in the Raptors, although Boykins is shorter, but confident that he can help the team with excellent technology.
Glenn called Yang Rui immediately, and the time had passed only 10 minutes. "Jerry, get it, he is willing, and he will be on his side tomorrow. Do you have any candidates for trading Di Brown and Thomas?"
Di Brown and Billups must be separated, and it is a good thing for both parties. It's no secret that management wants to break them up during the season.
Otherwise, in Toronto's famous nightclubs, fans can often see them fluttering and flying, and the red dust will always follow, and then they will be soft on the next day.
"Contact Jazz and try to change Jeff Hornacek. He and Curry will provide the team with a stable three-point firepower, which we are missing now."
Hornacek is about to retire, and his partner in the Jazz and Stockton has insufficient external defense strength. During the playoffs, the Jazz's outside line has been exploded year after year. Many media analysis, the Jazz must rebuild and strengthen the second position.
The two summits failed, and the Jazz suffered a serious injury. Since then, the team has started to decline. Malone and Stockton are gradually getting older. The team's restructuring problem has been put on the table.
The management of the Jazz will definitely consider that although trading Hornacek is a bit impersonal, it is good for both parties. Hornacek can go to a strong team and pursue the championship ring at the end of his career. The Jazz can complete the reconstruction as soon as possible.
If Honasek retires next year, only 5.2 million in salary space will be vacated and people will have to go to the free market to dig. In his current state, his salary is too high.
Glen was nonsense and immediately contacted Kevin O'Connor, the new manager of the Jazz.
The original Jazz manager Scott Redden was just poached by the Knicks. The old manager Ernie Grunfeld left, Van Gundy has not finished classes, and the Knicks have not found a better replacement for the time being.
O'Connor is ready to play a big game. He is very clear that the Jazz can not win the championship with the original lineup, and trading with the Raptors is a win-win.
Di Brown is 31 years old, has outstanding physical fitness, can shoot three points, can break through, joining the Jazz as the sixth man is not small, he looks like he can still play for many years.
It's just that O'Connor has no interest in John Thomas. "Glen, there is no shortage of flesh shield inside our team. Even if Thomas is cheap, he is only a marginal man in the Raptors. If you are willing to send Alvin Williams, the transaction can be considered.
"I want to discuss."
Glenn called Yang Rui. Alvin Williams is a combo guard. He is very fast. He participated in the rookie game in 1998. He averaged 6 points and 2 assists per game that season. It seems to have some potential.
Yang Rui smiled and said: "Trade, I admit that Alvin is of good quality, but the mid-range shooting is unstable, and the help for the team is limited in my system. He is poorly organized in the first position, poorly opposed in the second position, Hornace Ke has no place after joining."
"Okay." Glenn agreed readily, without consulting other people in the management.
Yang Rui asked: "Thomas still has a contract of 830,000 a year, and he doesn't have many opportunities to play. Let's trade him. I have a personal choice. I can ask."
"Speak."
"Looking for the Kings to replace last year's second-round rookie Jerome James. UU reading www.uukanshu.com should be easy to exchange. He had no chance to play and played 16 games, each with only 2.6 minutes and a pure blue collar."
"Then what do you want him to do? Thomas is anyway a 25 rookie in the first round in 1997 and can attack low."
Yang Rui laughed: "I don't need Thomas to attack, I need Jerome to deal with O'Neal. This is related to whether we can win the championship next year. It is right to do what I say."
Kevin Cato alone is not enough to prevent O'Neal. Jerome is 213cm tall and weighs 136kg. He is a big brother, but he is absolutely okay to compete with Austrian Fat.
In Yang Rui’s previous life, Jerome averaged 5 points and 4 rebounds in 4 years at the supersonic speed. Because he was good at defending the restricted area, he signed a 5 year 30 million amazing contract with the Knicks in 2005.
Glenn can now be sure that Yang Rui really intends to lead the Raptors to the championship and is already preparing for the Western Conference. He was just a little puzzled, why should he deal with O'Neill? Haven’t the Lakers been swept away every year?
Yang Rui knows that the Lakers are willing to spend money, and the lineup will be stronger next season. O'Neill has reached the peak. In his previous life, he will win three consecutive championships. To beat the Lakers, he must resist the fat!
