Chapter 168 Hookup

Vic Grossbeck, the owner of the Celtics, is not the richest in the NBA. His wealth is only more than 300 million, but the big consortium behind this guy has more than 10 billion assets at the bottom.

When they bought the Celtics, they also defeated many competitors in order to earn this old strong team. Although they have not been able to win the championship since then, Vic, as the boss, has always been very confident, and this guy's stead of Auerbach's banner also makes himself in the wave. Ston has gained a firm foothold. Now many Boston fans have begun to accept such an outside boss.

But Vic Grossbeck is not James Dolan. He is not the second-generation loser in New York. At least in terms of team investment, what he pursues is pragmatism and does not spend money easily.

Although Vic is also willing to spend money on team investment, he has never done anything to compete with luxury taxes. Er, the whole NBA may be as crazy as Dolan and Kuban.

So when Angie considers the cost and trading possibilities of the team, she is like a little daughter-in-law. She doesn't dare to throw a lot of money out easily, which triggers the upper limit of luxury tax, which is the trading bottom line of the Celtics.

He is careful, but he needs to think about spending money. This is Angie's state now. He doesn't want people to say that he is a terrible team manager. After all, he is not as thick-skinned as Thomas.

At present, Angie's salary space is only about 3.5 million yuan. At this price, it is basically impossible to get a few practical players.

Especially the insider, it is even more impossible. Originally, the insider is missing now. Ordinary blue-collar workers can get a salary of three or five million yuan. Who can automatically lower their value to Boston?

Even if there is a glorious past here, compared with the green dollar, the attraction of honor has faded, and Angie is not sure what suitable player she can recruit.

The salary space is not very attractive to those players who are still free. It can be recruited, and there are not many eye-catching roles. This gap in the inside line makes Angie the most headache.

After all, Rivers has made it clear to him that the insider now has a certain offensive firepower between Jefferson and Chen Feng.

Once these two guys foul too much or are absent because of injury, he can only rely on Ogvokandi to stand up. Perkins is very desperate, but this guy's offensive ability is really not good.

Perkins' defense is not bad, but if it is offensive, you have to add another point, otherwise the other side will defend Jefferson and Chen Feng. In case of an accident, Rivers will have no player who can top it.

And Ratliff and Ogwokandy are already characters that are about to be forgotten by Rivers. It's better to expect them to have a magical performance than to expect an extra million dollars when they wake up tomorrow morning.

Anyway, Rivers has put down these words. Now we can only see what kind of goods Angie can exchange for him and whether it can be used. This depends on his ability as a team manager.

The salary space in your hand is not large enough, which is not attractive to players. The only way out may be to trade. No one knows what the players in their hands may be exchanged for.

The problem that makes Angie a headache is that the Celtics can go out to talk about trading now, and there are really few.

Needless to say, Latlief's kind of goods. Generally, no one in the team dares to take over the big contract.

Unless it's for the salary space next summer to buy out the contract and recruit big-name players, Latlev usually can't do it. If you want to change a few drafts with others, no one will talk to you.

This is a completely bad asset. At the beginning, it was easy to throw out LaFrenz's contract with an annual salary of more than 10 million yuan. In exchange for such a great god, the result is good. There is no difference between here and outside.

I expected Ratliff to play the rest of the heat from the inside, but who would have thought that this guy's old injury has affected his mental state. If he wants him to regain the demeanor of the block king, it is probably hopeless.

In fact, it's not that no one has contacted Angie, but they want to fight against Rondo and Chen Feng. Angie can't stand this condition. Now, except for Pierce, these two little guys are determined not to move.

Angie has even considered that he can even put Jefferson on the trading list before signing the next contract, but Chen Feng and Ron Do, these two boy represent the future of the team.

What's more, Chen Feng or Auerbach picked it out in person. If this is released, the old man must wear a crutch to blow his head? Anji's scalp is numb just thinking about it. How dare he agree?

However, there are several potential deals that may be reached next summer, including a team that is about to change home. Their star has begun to prepare to go to Boston through their agents.

That's a real all-star, not fake, not fake, it's just that the team has decided to rebuild. The core of a leader over the age of 30 is definitely not the reconstruction foundation they want to leave.

Angie smelled the wind at the beginning and took action early enough. When the other party first had that intention, he had already come to the door. Anyway, both sides were ready to get along, waiting for the arrival of next summer.

Although it is a deal that will not appear until next summer, Angie has been bound in advance to a fierce role that can satisfy the fans' wishes to watch stars and can also make Rivers very satisfied.

But that's next season's matter. We have to find a way to solve the troubles in front of us, so now Angie is in a relatively remote and quiet cafe in Boston, and a black man is sitting in front of him.

A celebrity who could be said to be proud of spring breeze two years ago. Two years ago, there were countless people who envied this guy's luck. Many people were like him, but genius was not so easy to touch.

At least at that time, this guy is definitely a new force emerging in the agent circle. He may not have many players, but he has one of them, which is enough to show off.

Falk originally owned the gold signboard of Master Joe, so he could become a super crocodile in the agent circle, and the one in front of Angie also had a gold signboard, LeBron James.

From 03-05, it was the guy sitting opposite Angie, who got a sponsorship contract worth $135 million for the little emperor. This is not the NBA's income. It's all from outside the field. It's completely the commercial contracts of those sponsors. It's no wonder that there is such a big fish in his hand. He will become the number one celebrity.

Even this guy's original partner Bill Duffy said, "Brother Goodwin, with the luck envied by others, the little emperor James in his hand can create at least a billion dollars."

One billion dollars, some people are still conservatively estimating that if the potential added value is included, it may exceed 1.5 billion. Anyway, many people have said that the little emperor is definitely a gold mine.

And the one sitting opposite Angie is one of the Goodwin brothers, Alan Goodwin. At the beginning, in addition to the little emperor, there was also a champion who was Howard of the Magic Team.

It's just that no one knows why in 2005, the little emperor James suddenly stopped cooperating with the Goodwin brothers and turned to others. Anyway, there are always a little strange rumors.

Er, anyway, the media intentionally or unintentionally always surround the division between Goodwin and the little emperor to the empress dowager. In fact, what they mean is that Goodwin will go to bed or something if he has nothing to do.

If this matter is put in China, it may be a little shocking. After all, it is the mother of the partner.

But if this thing is placed in open America, it is probably because of the reputation of the little emperor. Otherwise, it's no big deal. After all, there has been such a saying abroad that if you are a nine-to-five white-collar clerk who has never slept with a colleague or colleague's wife, then you are really in vain. .

So although no one can really stand up and prove anything, the little emperor and Goodwin did break up, which also made Goodwin lose a lot of profits.

(In West and the little emperor's mother, those news colleagues, and Goodwin's news also broke out, but it's true or false. Let's judge for yourself. In fact, I sympathize with the little emperor in this matter. There is a mother who is really cheating! If this really happens, the little emperor will be depressed.)

As for why the little emperor was separated from Goodwin, Angie was not interested in knowing. He only cared about the one in front of him and what good news he could bring to himself.

"Hi, Alan, I think you look very busy, so I hope..." Angie is a little straightforward this time. He knows that the opposite is trying to create a second little emperor.

"Well, Danny, I was the first to inform you after receiving the phone call. That's what he meant. As you know, Chris is close to retiring. He hopes to find a combative team."

"The Detroit people contacted me, but I didn't promise them anything. Your team impressed Chris. Maybe he can play for two or three years, so he hopes to hear about the future of the team."

"You know, when players reach this age, they always dream of wearing a championship ring representing honor before leaving the NBA, and Boston is a good choice, at least that's what I think."

Angie didn't hide anything. Alan Goodwin also answered bluntly enough. If this was Howard's contract, maybe Goodwin would have become more cunning, but the one he wants to talk about now is almost his retirement age. If he is lucky, he can still stick to it for two or three years. .

But such a veteran's contract will not involve too many interests. Although Goodwin is a profiteer, in terms of long-term cooperation, he is also a rare benevolent and did not speak out.

"Aaron, how long can the Pistons remain competitive? You should be able to see. Yes, they have won the championship, and the team is still there, but after leaving, the cohesion has been declining."

"What kind of coach Sanders is, you know, and I know that he wants to see offense, but the Pistons have never been a team that wins by offense, so their combination is not solid."

"They were defeated by the Heat last season. This season, if they can't make it to the finals, there is only reconstruction or a big deal waiting for them. Even if they can make it to the finals, the Spurs, the Mavericks and the Suns, no matter who they are, will become their big trouble. The time for the Pistons to win the championship, has After that, Boston is gradually regaining its vitality. Even Chris himself thinks that we really have potential. Instead of taking a big ship that is gradually sinking, why not consider another one?

"Alan, I hope you can bring these words to Chris. If he has a decision, the promise I can make is a veteran contract. Maybe the salary is not much for him, but this represents my sincerity. I believe that if he chooses Boston, the team will definitely not disappoint him in the future. . "

After saying so many words in one breath, Angie slammed her slightly dry lips. He was waiting for the other party's response. Even if it was not the final answer, it was good to have a positive response.

At least Goodwin's agent has the ability to make Angie need to make time to invite each other. That guy may be the best choice without spending a lot of money.

"Danny, I will bring it to you, but the final decision is still up to Chris himself. I can only say that Boston has something that attracts me. I hope he feels the same way. At least he is very interested in your little guy No. 99. If it weren't for that little guy, maybe Chris wouldn't let me come here. . "

Er, Angie didn't expect that there was such a layer in it, Chen Feng? That wild boy? Is there such a trick?

I really don't see it at ordinary times. This little guy can still hook up with people. Damn, is this an extra skill?

Angie and Alan Goodwin don't talk for a long time. After all, this is a very moment. No one wants to be noticed by those reporters. It's better to keep a low profile.

Goodwin has to go back and discuss with his agent how to take the next step. After all, there will be news over there in the next few days. Once everything is finalized, they must contact the team as soon as possible.

And what Angie needs to do is just waiting for news, and in addition to this goal that needs to be hooked up, he has to think about what else to do with the remaining salary space.

If this business is done, then he will have to try to contact the remaining target characters. Compared with the one just now, what he wants to contact next is not a good stubble.

Once the barbarian who is idle at home goes crazy, nothing can stop it. Now Angie doesn't know whether her move is a little too risky.

And whether the other party can agree to the conditions he made doesn't know. In addition, this guy has been idle for almost a year and can recover to what extent. Angie's heart is also a little uncertain.

But compared with the bench players in his team, at least in the outside, scoring and defense, that guy is still good at it, although he is a little wild.

However, there is a wilder little madman in the Celtics. Now Angie is looking forward to it. If these two stingling guys meet together, who can be more ruthless?

Is it the bald-headed wild boy or the one you are about to meet? Er, when Angie thought of that guy, she subconsciously touched his neck...

Angie, with a rippling face, is implementing her own hook-up plan. I hope God can bless this guy.

(Comrades, red ticket support!!! It's not easy for Xiaofeng to push it once. It must be awesome!)
