Chapter 582 Kidnapping and extortion

The Orlando Magic aren't the first buyer to contact the Houston Rockets.

But definitely the most sincere one.

In order to get Yao Bi, they are willing to send Emeka Okafor, who averaged 13.8 points, 10.7 rebounds, and 1.7 blocks per game last season!

Although he is not as good as Yao Bi, he can barely be regarded as a first-class center forward, which is much better than the bargaining chips given by other teams.

What's even more rare is that Emeka Okafor's salary next season is only $543 million. In order to balance the transaction, the Rockets can still get something out of the Magic's pocket!
Since Yao Bi can't keep it, then try to maximize the benefits, and the two hit it off!
On August 8, the Houston Rockets and the Orlando Magic held a press conference to announce the deal:
The Orlando Magic sent Emeka Okafor, Tony Batty, Carlos Arroyo, and got All-Star center Yao Bi from the Houston Rockets.

On August 8, the Orlando Magic successfully renewed the contract with Tracy McGrady——

5 million U.S. dollars in [-] years, I am also Mr. [-] million yuan!

Subsequently, the Magic dug up the rebounding idiot Reggie Evans from the Denver Nuggets. With the MM combination, the Magic's lineup in the new season has also become terrifying:
Point Guard: Jameer Nelson

Shooting Guard: Tracy McGrady

Small Forward: Hedo Turkoglu
Power Forward: Reggie Evans

Center forward: Yao Bi

The Magic got Yao Bi, which triggered another butterfly effect——

Famous billionaire Mr. Rashard Lewis smashed his hand...

Rashard Lewis reached the peak of his career last season, averaging 22.4 points and 6.6 rebounds per game.

However, when his agent called out $6 million in six years, the Orlando Magic, Houston Rockets, Denver Nuggets and other teams that had been eyeing Lewis before fell silent.

Rengui has self-knowledge, and McGrady only signed [-] million yuan!

However, the Seattle SuperSonics desperately want to send him away so that the new core Yi Jianlian can move!

After difficult negotiations, the Seattle SuperSonics first signed Rashad Lewis for a five-year contract extension of $5 million in a sign-and-trade approach, and then sent him to the Houston Rockets with Earl Watson.

The Houston Rockets are the only team willing to be the receiver.

Because of the big contracts of Yao Bi and McGrady, the Magic can only be greedy for Lewis.

But the stingy Alexander was unwilling to pay the 8000 million yuan contract, and [-] million yuan was his bottom line. This kind of negotiation took a long time. In the end, Lewis was afraid that he would really die, so he gritted his teeth and agreed.

The Seattle SuperSonics got Steve Francis.

Just after helping Yao Bi onto the horse, Boss Fu is going to take care of another baby from Huaxia, this is fate——

A good friend of the Chinese people!

In addition, the Seattle SuperSonics also sent Delonte West, who had just been scooped from the Boston Celtics, to the Cleveland Cavaliers to add to the emperor.

It has been a month and a half since the draft, and there is still no movement from Pat Riley.

His only action was to quickly sign a contract with Mike Conley (2 years, 343 million US dollars) after the draft, and first make raw rice into cooked rice!
This bad old man is very bad...

Alan Houston urged several times, and Pat Riley always said wait, wait.

Waiting for the Miami Heat to trade with the Suns.

Yao Bi, who was waiting, all went to the Magic, and all the bosses went to the Sonics. Pat Riley still didn't let go, saying that he was studying the Grizzlies' roster.

This soul is weak!

The list of the Memphis Grizzlies is actually not complicated at all. According to the next season's salary from high to low, they are:
Kwame Brown ($908 million).

Shane Battier ($588 million).

Brian Cardinal ($585 million).

Stromile Swift ($580 million).

Damon Stoudemire ($435 million).

Chucky Atkins ($324 million).

Chris Meme ($250 million).

Rudy Gay ($241 million).

Dengtay Jones ($189 million).

Hakeem Warrick ($138 million).

There are actually four more, Scott Padgett, Lawrence Roberts, Alexander Johnson, and Junior Harrington.

It's just that their contracts are non-guaranteed, and Alan Houston notified them to find a job as soon as the season ended.

In this way, the Memphis Grizzlies only have these 10 players on their books, Battier is not for sale, and the remaining 9 people can be picked.

Kwame Brown is worth the most, but he's worth it.

After the Washington Wizards became famous, they were sent to Los Angeles because of conflicts with the "Trident". As a result, the atmosphere here was not as good as Washington, causing the data to plummet.

That's probably where Pat Riley struggled.

He wants Kwame Brown, but doesn't have enough chips.

This is cleverness being mistaken by cleverness. He has cleaned up the Heat so cleanly over the years, and there is no garbage contract of more than 500 million at all.

Gather people to pack?

Pat Riley was reluctant again. The Heat's lineup was made by him with a lot of gray hair and careful calculation. How could it be cheaper for the Memphis Grizzlies?
After thinking about it, Pat Riley asked Alan Houston again, why don't you give me Kwame Brown first, and count the rest as a special case of the transaction?
Alan Houston turned it down, and he wanted the Miami Heat's draft pick.

Think beautiful!
The "magic operator" hung up the phone directly.

The Miami Heat are preparing to play badly next season, with the goal of being the No. [-] pick and taking away Derrick Rose.

This is a strategic goal, unshakable!
There is no other choice but to replace people.

Pat Riley looked at the Memphis Grizzlies roster and turned back to his own team.

Finally, he circled Alonzo Mourning's name.

"Kidney Fighter" is old, really.

Although he has played 77 games this season and started 43 games, he can only play 20 minutes, and the data has dropped sharply.

The reason why he is still holding on is because he hasn't got the ring yet.

Hearing that the team was going to be poor next season, Mourning came to Pat Riley once. He felt that he might not survive the day when the Heat won the championship and wanted to retire.

Riley told him to think about it and let him wait.

At this time, the role of Alonzo Mourning came!

The "magic fortune teller" called Mourning's phone number, and persuaded him to accept a big gift——

The Miami Heat will give Alonzo Mourning a big contract in a sign-and-trade manner!

When Alan Houston got the fax from the Miami Heat, he really felt that he didn't fuck the dog, but was fucked by the dog...

On the fax, it was clearly written in black and white:

The Miami Heat signed with Alonzo Mourning first and then traded, signing a one-year contract with $1 million, and then packaged it with Mike Conley and sent it to the Memphis Grizzlies along with 800 million cash.

They'll get Kwame Brown and Rudy Gay from the Memphis Grizzlies.

Brazen kidnapping and extortion!

And it's the kind that will tear up the ticket if you refuse or call the police!

Anyway, Pat Riley has already signed with Mike Conley, so let's say you want it or not?
　PS: Ask for a recommendation ticket, ask for a monthly ticket^_^
