Chapter 86: The world becomes too fast

　　 Danny Ainge is perhaps the Celtics least like the Celtics. Like those outstanding Celtics players in history, he has the toughness, toughness,
　　 is cunning and eager for victory. At the same time, as a member of the green shirt family, he is more businessman temperament. If Auerbach is a patriarch, then
　　 Danny Angie is the president of the commercial team in the true sense, and everything is in line with interests. So when Arenas showed enough talent, Angie immediately asked Leon
　　 expressed his mistakes in the draft, and agreed to Leon's plan to obtain a deal to get Anderson.
　　 If you change to Auerbach, you will not easily change some of the principles he adheres to. This is why the Celtics have not played at home until today
　　 The cheerleaders exist because the serious bishop dislikes the appearance of teenage girls showing off their thighs on the parquet floor in Boston.
　　 Therefore, the stubborn Auerbach handed over all transaction matters to Angie, Wallace and Leon. He knew that some of the things he was good at and insisted on in the past have been
　　 There is no way to adapt to the new era. In the history of the Celtics, the best player they can get through trade or free signing is Robert Parrish, and he
　　 is not even the top ten in the Celtics star-studded star book. Their brilliance all comes from the draft, and the cardinals before the draft were either insidious or clever
　　 Various means.
　　 These things are no longer useful now. The rapid development of the media and the pervasiveness of scouts have made those black-box operations invisible methods of robbery, and the alliance has introduced various exchanges.
　　Easy, draft rules make the once champions get the top pick, second place, five cents for five dollars and other unfair trades are getting lower and lower. The appearance of the salary cap makes the rich family alone
The possibility of 　　 being big and prosperous is getting smaller and smaller, although Auerbach, who was in full swing in the 1980s, turned the NBA’s salary cap into a soft salary cap through his influence.
　　 created the Byrd clause, an influential transaction signing rule, but then there were more and more restrictions on the team’s wages and transactions until the major shutdown in 1999.
　　The labor and management parties re-negotiated the wage agreement, and only then has the current new Collective-Bargaining-Agreement, also known as CBA for short. This agreement is extremely complicated
　　, and it will be revised and changed every year to add new rules. Any team member who wants to make a deal must first face the 435 pages.
　　 There are nearly 100 pages of CBA terms manual with additional terms.
　　 But for Leon, this thick manual, as early as when he entered the NBA draft for the first time, looked at his general content. Now stayed in the NBA for two
　　He has been involved in many transactions in the year, and he has already thoroughly understood every clause in this book, as well as the source of the clauses and the operational content, so when Danny-Ange was in the office
　　 When discussing the content of the transaction with Leon, there is no need to read the detailed rules or player contracts. There is a living dictionary in front of them.
　　"I don’t think the salary cap will rise next year. This is different from previous years, and there will be no big fish in the free market next year. The salary cap will fall and there will be no outstanding.
　　 free agents, this trend will be seen sooner or later. Therefore, to focus on the next year, that is the most important node. This is more profitable than trading,
　　 is to wait longer. "At this time, Leon has been in Angie’s office to negotiate with him for more than an hour. His trading plan is to use the team’s two contracts.
　　 A junk contract for the Nuggets. The Nuggets contract expired in 2004, but there will be a team option in 2003, which can free up salary space for the Celtics.
　　 And as a bargaining chip to eat the contract and balance the transaction, Chris Wallace will join this transaction. Of course, the Celtics still need to pay
　　 A future second-round pick.
　　 Regarding such a trading method, Angie is a little bit hesitant. What he hesitates is not the operability of the transaction. He believes that Leon and Morey’s calculations will not be biased.
of. He is just weighing whether the salary of his comeback and the price of a draft pick are worth it. After all, as the president of the team, he needs to consider more aspects, including public opinion and the ball.
　　 The support of others in the team. What Leon wants to send is Walter McCarty, Randy Brown, and the French forward who gets the Nuggets, Tariq Abdul-Wahad.
　　 Regarding the replacement of Randy Brown and McCas, Angie has no opinion from the perspective of team strength. Brown is already at the end of his career, and his contribution to the team has become less and less. But what Angie was worried about was that he had just instigated Brown to take the lead in the action to force O'Brien, and now that the operation is over, he will be traded to kill the donkey. Angie has to hesitate.
　　 Walter McCarty is more troublesome. As early as 1997, he came to the Celtics and worked hard for 5 years here. Although the data has been declining year by year, he is still an old man of the team. And as a 6-10 inside, he is also an important rotation for the team's power forward position, but averaging two or three rebounds per game is really not enough. This is why Carol would rather use the 40-year-old Rodman than him. s reason.
　　 The balance of Angie's inner feelings and interests is vacillating. Leon has given very good reasons, especially his prediction of the salary cap for the next season, but Angie still needs a little reason to make up his mind. He looked at the general manager Chris Wallace, who was sitting on the sidelines. He had been filing his nails and did not comment. He did not comment on Leon’s opinions. In fact, Wallace is already a hard-core supporter of Leon. , But did not show it concretely. As long as Angie agrees, he will call Vandeweghe to apply for a deal and immediately report it to the NBA office. Seeing Angie looking at him, he greeted Morey next to him, "Darryl, tell Danny what you think."
Morey cleared his throat, and there were not many opportunities to express a decisive opinion in front of the president. He said: "You should know that the impact of 9/11 is all-round. Not only our stock market and real estate are affected, but the sports consumer market is also affected. A recession is ushered in. Part of the reason for Michael Jordan’s comeback is that the league hopes that his return can withstand the impact of terrorist attacks on the football market, but at present, the Wizards have a poor record and the overall market is in a state of decline. So, Lai Mr. Ang said that the possibility of a decline in the salary cap is very great. As the season progresses, more and more teams will realize this. By then, the expiring contracts of Brown and McCarty will not have that much value. Up."
The decline in the salary cap and the lack of big-name free agents will make the free market in 2002 a backwater, so it is better to focus on 2003 when the free market will be turbulent, when the free market will not only have many big fish, but also the draft of that year. The conference is expected to have a large influx of talented players, it is a good opportunity for the Celtics to show their talents and stand up in one fell swoop. After all, Morey graduated from Massachusetts Institute of Technology and was born in a street gang in Leon. Obviously, these words are more convincing, although Angie also knows that Leon, a street boxer, doesn’t know where he learned a good financial accountancy. Knowledge often makes him ashamed as a professional team manager.
　　 Finally Angie nodded, which not only means that he agreed to the deal, but also means that he accepted Leon’s strategy and set his sights on 2003.

　　 On the morning of December 5th, Chris Anderson, who was staying in a hotel in Indianapolis, woke up early. He felt that everything in life was good because he was a real NBA player.
