The NBA started with helping Iverson win the championship

Chapter 259

Parsons' press conference not only did not have the effect of clarifying, but even made people feel that they were covering up.

It seems that the strife in the Pistons locker room is not groundless, otherwise Parsons would not have jumped out in such a hurry.

Just as the outside world was turning upside down, Li Xun was drinking tea in Dumas's office.

When Yao Ming was in the Pistons before, he gave Dumars some good tea, which made Dumars fall in love with the taste.

It is absolutely reasonable to say that Yao Ming really knows how to behave.

"That's right, Li, I have a deep research on tea now."

"Black tea, green tea, oolong tea and scented tea have opened the door to a new world. I have never felt that tea is so wonderful before."

"Especially green tea, every time I drink a cup, it will make me forget a lot of troubles."

Dumas took a sip of his tea and praised him.

Li Xun shook his head, this big old black actually also understands tea.

"Mr. Dumas, what else can you worry about now?"

Li Xun asked with a smile.

Dumas also smiled, "Of course I don't have any troubles at work. After all, with you here, I can't have any troubles."

"But life is not just about work, it's about family."

"Let's not talk about it, let's talk about the price you want to sell Parsons for."

"I really admire you, you are even older than an old fox."

The news of the infighting between Parsons and Li Xun was exactly what Li Xun asked Dumas to release. Of course, the purpose was to strike while the iron was hot and sell Parsons.

Based on Parsons' performance in the first four games, there will definitely be a large wave of teams interested in him.

We must know that Parsons is not only strong, he also has a very good ability to sell tickets.

Not every team dreams of winning the championship, and the goal of some teams is just to make more money, or to say that they lose less.

If Parsons joins, the ticket sales will definitely increase a lot.

It is estimated that most of this part of the improvement has to be contributed by female fans.

The key is that Parsons' strength is indeed not bad. If he can focus on the basketball court instead of those model stars, he actually has the strength of an All-Star.

So in this transaction, Li Xun is actually not cheating others.

If the chips are right, buying Parsons will definitely not lose money.

The reason for such a lot of hype and infighting is that Parsons has played too few games after all. If he is sold now, other teams may wonder if there is something wrong with Parsons.

After the infighting broke out now, it is only natural to sell Parsons again.

Next came the home court of the Pistons. What surprised Parsons was that he was pressed on the bench tonight.

That's right, he played as a supernova in four consecutive games, let alone start the fifth game, he didn't even have a minute of playing time on the bench.

Even when it was garbage time, Tang Shuai didn't let him play, preferring to let Jiba go up to collect data.

This directly made Parsons feel cold.

He didn't know what went wrong, he was obviously very respectful to Li Xun, so what kind of unconscionable tongue-twister was it?

It's all right now, probably because Li Xun felt that his majesty had been challenged, so he simply hid Parsons in the snow.

In the Pistons team, except for Li Xun and Howard, in fact, anyone can turn away from it.

Even without Howard, it's not like Li Xun can't play center forward.

So it's not a big deal for the Pistons to hide a rookie, even if the rookie's performance is very dazzling.

After the game, Cousins ​​replaced Parsons in the starting game tonight, and Li Xun played the shooting guard position.

As a result, Cousins ​​and Warcraft Howard combined their swords tonight, and together they scored 51 points and 31 rebounds.

Looking at it this way, there is no difference between having Parsons and not having Parsons.

Countless people were shocked by the terrifying lineup background of the Pistons. If it were placed on other teams, the team would lose a scorer who averaged 20+ per game, not to mention the collapse of the overall strength, at least it would be greatly affected.

But in the Pistons, it didn't seem to have any influence at all. They were still the terrifying Pistons.

That night, Dumars released news that the team put Parsons on the shelves.

This also confirmed the rumors of internal strife in the Pistons, and many people began to laugh at it for a while.

How dare there be a rookie in this alliance who contradicts Li Xun?The key is that this guy is still Li Xun's teammate.

More importantly, it seems that Li Xun didn't do anything to him, and just made a deal.

Could it be that Li Xun has already started Buddhism?Has your temper softened?

Parsons was put on the shelf and immediately gained the attention of half the league's teams.

Although Parsons is not like a proven star like DeRozan, Parsons is more popular than him.

The Knicks contacted Dumars that night, and their interest in this kind of player is too great.

This team has always liked to collect these stars with gimmicks.

Although Parsons was traded, this may not be a bad thing for his career.

Because of the internal strife with Li Xun, he is now getting a lot of attention. As long as he performs better, he will not have a big problem entering the All-Star.

After Dumars hung up the Knicks, he immediately called Li Xun.

"Lee, the Knicks are very interested in Chandler."

"Nicks? Are they worthy too?" Li Xun couldn't help complaining.

It's not that Li Xun looks down on the Knicks, but that they really don't have any bargaining chips in their hands now.

When Anthony was traded with the Nuggets before, the Knicks had completely emptied their potential.

They have no draft picks now, and there are not many decent rookies in the team.

In this case, why should the Knicks trade Parsons?
Even if they traded Stoudemire, Li Xun would never agree.

Stoudemire's salary is so high, and now he is completely high salary and low ability, and the price/performance ratio is too low.

And Li Xun also knows that this season is the time when Stoudemire's career is going downhill.

Due to injuries, Stoudemire only averaged 17+7 per game this season, and in the next few seasons, it will be even worse year after year.

The Pistons are now sitting on Cousins ​​and Vucevic, and Stoudemire is the only one who is full.

Speaking of which, these three players actually have somewhat similar styles of play.

Especially Cousins ​​and Vucevic, the two entered the league front and back, both in terms of style of play and statistics are somewhat similar, but unfortunately their fates are very different.

After Cousins ​​suffered a serious injury, he was reduced to the middle class, while Vucevic had a maximum salary of [-] million yuan.

"They want to trade Stoudemire for Parsons, Cousins ​​and Ray Allen."

Dumars told Li Xun the Knicks offer.

Li Xun was speechless, as expected, the Knicks really had a good plan.

Because the season has just started a few games, Dumars is not very clear about Stoudemire's situation.

But Stoudemire last season was a top insider who averaged 25 points per game.

According to Dumars's thinking, it seems that they can accept this deal. With Howard and Stoudemire, this combination of insiders is simply invincible.

But how did Dumars know that Stoudemire has disappeared this season.

"Let them stop dreaming, or else just add me to the offer and let Stoudemire exchange for four."

"I really haven't woken up. He thinks Stoudemire is the peak Jordan?"

Li Xun's direct offer to the Knicks has completely broken the defense. What are you kidding, a Stoudemire wants to trade Parsons, Cousins, and Ray Allen?

Not to mention the current Stoudemire who is in a downward spiral, even at the peak of Stoudemire, it is impossible for Li Xun to agree.

Cousins ​​is in the second grade this year, and after another half of the season, it is estimated that he will almost grow up.

Will the grown-up Cousins ​​be worse than Stoudemire?

Dumas laughed, although he was still very excited about the deal, but since Li Xun refused to agree, let it go.

Facts have proved that it is always right to listen to Li Xun's words. Over the years, Dumas has never confronted Li Xun, and the effect is quite obvious. The Pistons are thriving, and now they have become a truly invincible team.

"Okay, then I will reject the Knicks."

"If there is an offer from another team here, I will call you at any time."

Dumars is not in a hurry, and Parsons is in his hands, and he will not fly away. Now that he is up for sale, he can always find a good buyer.

What kind of buyers applaud buyers?In Dumas's view, those who can get Li Xun's approval are good buyers.

Early the next morning, it was only five o'clock, and the sky was still dark.

Li Xun's cell phone kept ringing.

This kind of behavior that disturbs people's lucid dreams is really annoying.

"Hey?"

"Whoever you are, better give me a good reason to call at five o'clock in the morning."

Li Xun answered the phone in a daze, and said angrily.

Jordan's voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Li, as a professional player, sleeping late is not a good habit."

"Kobe, what time is the moon in Los Angeles?"

"It's almost six o'clock, and you didn't go to the training ground?"

Li Xun was completely helpless, this old guy really likes to make sarcastic remarks.

What's going on in Los Angeles?

What about Detroit?

What is certain is that if Li Xun drives to the training ground at five o'clock in the morning.

It may be fine for a day or two, but after a long time, sooner or later someone will have to chug.

Living in Detroit, the first thing to learn is how to protect yourself and save your own life.

"Michael, didn't you call to urge me to train, did you?"

"What? Are you going to sell the Bobcats and buy the Pistons?"

Li Xun said unhappily.

Sleeping soundly early in the morning, how can it be possible to be in a good mood after arguing and preaching.

"That's not true. I'm calling to make a deal with you."

"Lee, what do you think the Bobcats sell you next year's first-round pick for Parsons?"

After Jordan's voice came, Li Xun lost sleepiness immediately.

Good guy, I've been taken advantage of.

Under normal circumstances, the Bobcats only got 7 wins in the season, and they got the second pick in the draft.

Theoretically speaking, as the team with the worst record in the league, they can draw a fourth overall pick even with the worst luck in the lottery.

The upper limit is the No. [-] pick, and the lower limit is the fourth overall pick.

If this draft pick can be exchanged, it seems to be really good.

"Michael, are you sure?" Li Xun asked energetically after he lost his sleepiness.

"Of course I'm sure. The reason why I didn't call you after I got the news last night was because I thought about it all night."

"Instead of taking a risk, it's better to exchange this draft pick for a ready-made one."

"And Parsons' popularity is really good, and I think it can make our bad football market better."

That's exactly what Jordan was thinking about last night.

But he didn't tell Li Xun everything he thought.

After the Bobcats get Parsons, their strength will improve a little. In Jordan's view, the draft pick may not be so high at that time.

In this way, it doesn't seem so distressing to trade Parsons with a first-round pick that is not so high.

The key Parsons does have the ability to boost the Bobcats ball market.

Think about the boss of the Bobcats in recent years, first Elvis Presley Okafor, and later became the second generation of Elvis Presley Gerald Wallace.

Neither of these two players are the kind of popular players, they are both blue-collar players.

Now Jordan is thinking about getting Parsons, training him well, and getting three generations of Elvis Presley, maybe the Bobcats can sell better tickets.

I have to say that Chief Qiao's idea is very good.

After listening to Jordan's words, Li Xun also thought deeply.

Of course, he also knows that the Bobcats will become stronger when they get Parsons, and their record may become better by then.

But after thinking about it, the situation in the East is different from normal.

Under normal circumstances, the Bobcats can get seven wins, but now the Eastern Conference is full of strong players. Among other things, the Raptors and Nets are both top-notch teams.

You must know that these two teams are usually the belly of the Eastern Conference that cannot make the playoffs.

There are so many strong teams, and the Bobcats have to play against Eastern teams many times. They may not get seven wins this season.

Even with Parsons, Li Xun estimates that the Bobcats will not win more than 15 games.

It is still the last record in the league.

It may even be because of these more wins, which led to a butterfly effect, and maybe the Bobcats won the No. [-] lottery.

If the number one lottery is really drawn, Li Xun will definitely choose thick eyebrows.

If it was the second, third and fourth picks, Li Xun would definitely not choose Gilchrist, a parallel importer. He would choose Bradley Beal for the second and third picks. Right, get more newcomers.

If you can choose, of course Li Xun still wants thick eyebrows.

No team can refuse a player like Thick Eyebrow, of course, the premise is that this guy stays healthy.

"Okay, deal!"

Li Xun agreed without saying a word.

Jordan couldn't help but laugh from ear to ear. In his opinion, he definitely made a profit in this wave of transactions.

After all, he was a young man, and he didn't think so long-term. He felt that Li Xun ignored the fact that the Bobcats' performance improved after Parsons joined.

If the Bobcats only get a seventh or eighth pick by then, the Pistons will lose out on this deal.

Li Xun's side is also happy from ear to ear. If there is a chance to get thick eyebrows, even if the chance is only one percent, it must be won.

Besides, this probability is not [-]%, Li Xun feels that there is at least a [-]% chance.

Both felt that they had made a profit, and the two hung up the phone with a smile.
