Chapter 122 The Buck and Sir Charles
Chapter 122 The Buck and Sir Charles
On December 12, Bruce walked back and forth in the office with increasing agitation.
After a night of contact, and after calling nearly half of the league's managers, none of them had the idea of selling the draft picks. Instead, they kept testing whether Bruce wanted to trade some players in the team!
"This is really... Alas!" Bruce walked to the office chair with a helpless face, and sat down weakly, feeling very angry and helpless when he thought of the trading plan of other managers Lion's big mouth!
Although he didn't close his eyes all night, Bruce couldn't sleep at all. As the new millennium is coming soon, the fact of not having a draft pick is like a mountain pressing on Bruce!
"Jingle Bell!!"
Bruce was awakened by a pleasant ringtone, and he hurriedly picked up the phone: "Hi, I'm Bruce Young!"
"Hello, Bruce, I'm Larry Harris, assistant general manager of the Bucks!"
"Hello, Larry, how are you thinking?" Bruce asked a little anxiously. After contacting those team managers last night, most of them basically looked like lions, and only the Bucks had some Trading Ideas!
Because of their own draft picks in the past few seasons, they have as many as two second-round picks in 2000 alone, which is why they want to trade!
Although Bruce failed to provide a good bargaining chip, the second-round pick is not so completely untradeable for the Bucks.
"Hmm.. After our morning's research and discussions, we've made a waiverable decision on the 2000 second-round pick!"
The sudden news made Bruce extremely excited, and it seemed that some difficult waiting was not useless at all!
"Really? That would be great!"
Hearing Bruce's excited tone, Larry Harris couldn't help showing a smile on his face: "Mr. Bruce, although we can come up with draft picks, you must come up with a trading plan that satisfies us to get the approval of the management!"
"Of course!" Hearing what Harris said, Bruce's excited mood suddenly calmed down. After all, this is a deal. Excessive emotions will add a lot of uncertainties to the deal negotiations. Because of their own reasons, as long as the Bucks Thank God for not deliberately lowering the price!
"Okay, we'll take out Tony Farmar in exchange for the pick!" Bruce said solemnly. If it wasn't for a night of research, he wouldn't have put this substitute player on the negotiating table!
With Caffey and Terry Cummings recovering from injury one after another, Bruce will never come up with an unequal plan for Tony Farmar to trade only a second-round pick!
Although Caffey and Caffey will rest for at least 2 games, the combination of Marshall and Nowitzki still makes the Warriors not so nervous in the power forward position. If Caffey and Caffey are still placed on the injured list However, Bruce did not dare to trade Tony Farmer out!
"Mr. Bruce, judging from the chips you provided, we are very satisfied with your sincerity!" Harris said with some surprise, under the research of him and the team management, even though it was a second-round pick, But the fact that they had seen Bruce's ability with their own eyes made them a little entangled in whether it was a deal or a veto!
If it weren't for the awkward position the Warriors are currently in, they really don't want to make a wedding dress for Bruce again!
"For the sake of equal salary, we will use Ralph Alston to make this deal. Do you have any other ideas?" Harris' tone was a little urgent, wanting to make this deal.
Harris has this kind of thinking, which is also the reason for the team's current lineup. With Manning's old age and Scott Williams having some water and injury problems, they have some urgent needs for Tony Farmar. With the joining of the latter, at least Manning and Glenn Robinson can take a break!
"This." Although he was very pleasantly surprised and eager to make a deal, Bruce, as the general manager and owner of a team, could only resist the desire to immediately agree and want to get back some better bargaining chips!
Originally, Harris thought that Bruce would be very happy to make this deal, but when he suddenly heard the hesitant tone of the other party, he couldn't help showing a hint of displeasure on his face: "Mr. Bruce, do you have any questions about this deal?"
Bruce suddenly heard Harris' blunt tone, thought about the immature "jump your soul", gritted his teeth, and said, "I need your priority for the second round!!"
"What??" Harris said incredulously. In his opinion, this is a deal that both teams will benefit from. If it is done, the Warriors will be forgiven by the league, and the Bucks will also be in The inside line has been further supplemented, and now I suddenly hear Bruce's request, and I can't help but feel difficult to understand his approach!
"MD, let's fight!!" Bruce's expression suddenly became serious, and he said again seriously: "I need the priority of your two draft picks!!"
Silence, the phone was suddenly quiet after Bruce's words, only the sound of double breathing could be heard, Bruce felt this sudden silence, and felt a little regret for his decision for the first time!
After a while, just when Bruce no longer had any hope for this deal, and I wonder if the Bucks did some backhands, Harris' slightly stiff voice came over!
"Okay! Mr. Bruce, I hope Love, the "Streetball Emperor", will get the performance he deserves in the Warriors!"
"Long live!!" Bruce suppressed the cry in his heart, and said slowly with a somewhat excited expression: "Thank you and the Bucks for your help, and I hope you can treat Tony well!"
On the afternoon of December 12th, when Tony Farmer received a call from Bruce at home, a trace of disappointment flashed across his face. He loved this young team very much, but isn’t this league just a huge “supermarket”? "What?
After solving the hidden danger of losing the team, Bruce's mood suddenly relaxed, and his body finally felt the fatigue caused by not sleeping all night and being in a state of tension all the time!
After tidying up the materials and documents on the desk, Bruce returned to his villa with deep exhaustion!
"The Warriors completed a small transaction. They sent Tony Farmar, who performed well, and got the Bucks' 2000 second-round pick and "Streetball King" Ralph Alston!!"
"Judging from the deals made by the two teams, both sides got the players and draft picks they wanted. Bruce Young also escaped the possible heavy penalty of the league. We are very much looking forward to Love's showing in Oakland. Strong attainments in streetball!"
After confirmation by the league, the deal between the Warriors and the Bucks appeared on the official website and some well-informed paper media. Since then, Bruce can finally have a good sleep with peace of mind!
On the evening of December 12th, Bruce did not immediately appear at the match against the Houston Rockets at home. When the two teams entered the second half of the second quarter, Bruce felt tired in the Oakland Arena!
The Rockets don't know if it is because of the big deal in the summer and Barkley's retirement that this former championship team has gradually declined!
Barkley announced his retirement due to a serious injury caused by a torn femoral head when the Rockets played against the 12ers on December 8!
Although he has never won a championship ring that symbolizes the highest honor in his entire career, his influence is still impressive!
Bruce sat quietly in the back row of the Warriors, watching the players from both sides walking off the court one after another, and couldn't help but look at Charles Barkley, who was dressed casually behind the Rockets' bench!
"What a tough guy!" Carter, who returned to the field, said with some emotion after seeing the direction Bruce was looking at!
Hearing Carter's words, Bruce turned his head with some regret: "He's a great guy!"
As the players all entered the player tunnel, Bruce thought for a while but walked towards the Rockets locker room!
"Guys, you guys are playing like pussies to make people happy, you should fight back hard!" Barkley said to the Rockets players with a big mouth, afraid that his voice was still not loud enough, and Once shouted loudly: "You are a bunch of pussies, the beatings make me feel sick!"
Accompanied by Barkley's vicious words, the Rockets players seemed to have been familiar with it for a long time. No one expressed their opinions. It's a good thing they didn't answer the words. Otherwise, Sir Charles would definitely give them an unforgettable memory!
Bruce looked at Barkley who was rubbing his big bald head in a funny way. He wondered if it was because of the hospital food. It has been less than a month since this guy retired, and he has obviously gained a lot of weight.
Glancing at the bulky rehabilitation brace tied to Barkley's left knee, Bruce walked over with a smile!
"Hi! Sir Charles!" Bruce resisted the urge to laugh, and looked at the surprised Buckley with a serious expression!
"F...K! Please call me Mr. Charles!" As if seeing Bruce's joke, Buckley shook his head heavily, his eyes suddenly opened wide, and he looked at him fiercely!
"God, aren't you the great Sir Charles? I'm very honored to hear your trash talk!" Bruce looked surprised, and pointed at the passageway that had disappeared with exaggerated gestures!
"Hahaha! Young man, you sure don't mind Sir Charles giving you a good lesson, right?" Buckley laughed and walked towards Bruce. Although it looked a little funny under the influence of the crutches, he didn't feel it at all. What's wrong!
"Okay! Mr. Charles, I'm sure I'd be more than happy to let you be my mentor!" Bruce took two steps forward with a smile, and conceded to Buckley. He didn't want to be thought of as such a stupid existence by the other party!
"Bruce, I like your operation very much. Really, I swear, I have never seen a person who can do so well to you!" Barkley looked at Bruce seriously, thinking of the game that was hyped by the United States last season , after a trace of loss flashed in his eyes, he lightly patted Bulusui on the shoulder!
"Thank you for your compliment!" Bruce saw the disappointment flashing in Barkley's eyes, and said very indifferently: "It's just a game, don't worry about it!"
"Can you talk to me?" Buckley said so, but he slowly walked towards the elevator door at the other side of the passage!
"Still so "dominant"!" Bruce felt a little emotional when he thought of this funny guy in his previous life!
Second more!
There is something wrong with my brother and I have to go to the hospital. If I come back early, the old wolf will send you the third update before 12 o'clock. If not, the old wolf will try my best to send you the fourth update tomorrow. Please forgive me !
