Chapter 116

Kevin Pritchard, the general manager of Portland Celtic team, is waiting for a person to come in front of trailblazers' training hall.

He is in a good mood today. It should be said that he is in a good mood during this period after he traded Greg Oden.

He didn't expect the deal to be so watched by his boss, Paul Allen, the sixth richest man on the Forbes list.

He was even told. We must give Wang Dachun enough shot right and appearance time. This has never happened before.

It seems that his operation of this transaction is very successful, at least his boss is very satisfied.

Since the beginning of 2006, he came to Portland to work as assistant GM. in the off-season of 2006, boss Paul Allen fired former general manager John Nash and let team chairman Steve Patterson become part-time general manager. He was promoted to deputy general manager. Mainly responsible for team management and draft.

Before the 2006 NBA draft conference, he traded Sebastian telfield and Theo Ratliff from Boston Celtic team for the first round No. 7 draft right and Reeve LaFrenz.

On draft day, he sent No. 4 rookies Tyrus Thomas and Victor kayapa to Chicago Bulls for No. 2 rookie LaMarcus Aldrich.

In the second deal on draft day, No. 7 rookie Randy foyaga traded cash from Minnesota Timberwolves for No. 6 rookie Brandon Roy.

Roy has also become the best rookie of the season, this year is directly included in the NBA all star team.

His two deals also brought a star of hope to Portland and were praised by the media for his unique vision.

In 2007, after Steve Patterson announced his resignation, he officially became the general manager of Portland Trail Blazers.

In 2007, he won the number one draft, but he hesitated in the draft. He didn't know whether to choose Greg Oden or Kevin Durant.

In the end, he chose Greg Oden, who was regarded as the last hope of the National Center by most people.

But with Greg Oden, his nightmare began.

After signing a rookie contract with Oden. Auden in vacation, suddenly feel knee pain after swelling, inspection found cartilage damage, can only choose surgical treatment. After the operation, he needed to recuperate for 6 to 12 months, and Oden was absent for a whole season.

In 2008, Auden finally came back. As a result, Oden didn't adapt to NBA games at all. I sprained my foot in the game.

Two weeks later, Oden returned to the field. Barely able to play two pairs.

However, in less than a month, he collided with maggaidi's knee again, his knee bone was damaged and he lay back in the hospital bed.

It's a series of injuries. And it's so easy to get hurt. He's scared! Every time he sees Oden on the court, he's always on tenterhooks. I'm afraid Auden will be "broken" when he collides with people.

And the media is changing direction. Take Durant and Oden's performance, attack his draft vision.

Even his boss, Paul Allen, is constantly questioning his ability to operate.

He knows his boss too well. The Blazers are definitely not the best team in the league. But the Blazers are all the most general managers in the league. The boss is disappointed in him and may fire him at any time.

He is just 40 years old. When you're officially showing off your talent. He brought Aldrich and Roy to Portland. It proves that he is capable.

It's because he chose Greg Oden, who is favored by most people. And it's in this dilemma.

A deep sense of uneasiness and crisis continued to spread in his heart.

Even last year, he brought 25 rookies Nicholas bartum and 11 rookies Jerry Bayles to the Trail Blazers in the complicated draft day trading operation. The progress of these two rookies is very stable.

But Greg Oden's constant injuries. It still makes him feel that his position as general manager may not be guaranteed.

The first thing he thought of was Wang Dachun. He's interested in the rookie of 2008. It's too impressive.

He can't figure out how to miss such a good defender. I didn't pay any attention to him before the draft.

Especially in the first match between Oden and Wang Dachun, when Oden was pressed by Wang Dachun for no points in the whole match. He had a plan to get Wang Dachun.

With Wang Dachun in the league game. Performance in continuous progress. And Auden's performance of constant injury in the game. He felt that he could not wait any longer.

It's like Nelson Jr., general manager of the Mavericks. I made the first call.

"You want Wang? Are you kidding? That's impossible. Wang is not for sale. He is the main target of our training. Don't think about it! " Little Nelson's voice was unusually firm on the phone.

Not for sale? There is no non-sale product in the alliance. If you refuse to trade, you can only say that the chips you give are not high enough."Listen to me first, man, and then decide! We all know that Wang is a good guy, but good doesn't mean suitable.

Don't you see how lonely Nowitzki was when you were approaching the Western Conference semi-finals last season? You don't see your outside line, just like it is made of paper. It's broken when someone pokes it?

You have the best seats in the league now! The best power forward! Only forward defense and interior scoring assistance!

Let's go on, Wang. Do you think he's fit for the Mavericks now? He is not suitable. He only has defensive ability, but he has no offensive ability. Even if you say now that you can cultivate him and give him time to improve, how long can you give him?

Kidd is about to pass his peak. Dirk is at the peak. You can't afford to wait and train. What you need now is timely fighting power, so that you can win the championship.

We pioneers belong to the reconstruction team, and we cultivate rookies. We have Roy, we have Adelaide, they are all just entering the league, and they are still young. If we add Wang Dachun, we have enough time to cultivate it slowly, and we don't need Wang Dachun's offensive ability.

I can tell you a news, Roy and we have signed a five-year 84 million contract, but it has not been announced, attack Roy and Adelaide can, they only need an excellent defender, so Wang Dachun is very suitable for our team

Kevin Pritchard helped Nelson analyze the current situation and needs of the Mavericks. Deny that there is a part of the degree of deception, but this is also the general situation encountered by the Mavericks.

Little Nelson was silent for a long time. He said.

"What do you have? You have no chips

"Man, of course we have chips. We have number one Greg Oden."

Kevin Pritchard is very confident.

"You're kidding. Who doesn't know that Oden is a glass man. We'll trade him and keep him there?" Little Nelson laughed.

"I don't deny that Auden is a little brittle! But his rookie season can still get an average of 9 points and 7 rebounds, which is still in the case of his injury, and the Mavericks do not rely on him to score, they just need to use it as Dirk's help in the interior. As long as it's a healthy Oden, his talent and ability can definitely help the Mavericks.

And we can add a Sean Marion? "

Kevin Pritchard said seductively.

"You want to bring another party in?" Little Nelson is really interested. He asked.

"As long as you get Sean Marion and Oden, and exchange a stable scoring point in the sub position, the Mavericks will become the most powerful favorite in the league, which can be achieved only if you send Wang Dachun and a little extra from the Mavericks." Kevin Pritchard continued.

Little Nelson was moved. Champion! It doesn't seem so far away from me!
