Chapter 329 Proposing a Deal
The trip to Detroit was very pleasant for the three of them. The people here are also very enthusiastic about them, and the team's heavyweights have a good impression on them. Therefore, Neil is determined to stay in the Motor City.

Therefore, after the boss of the Pistons made a verbal agreement, he hurried back to Minnesota to offer a deal to the Timberwolves, and then signed a paper labor contract with the Pistons as soon as possible, so that his parents and Lavender could move to the Motor City. If the verbal agreement is not implemented, if the Pistons find someone more suitable than him during the offseason, they will really lose their jobs.

For this reason, Neal, Lavender, and the agent returned to Minnesota, asked Lavender to take a taxi back, and they rushed to the Timberwolves headquarters immediately.

Neil came to the headquarters to find the coach and explained his intentions to the coach. After that, the coach didn't say much, because he still understood what Neil was thinking, even though he and the boss had trusted him for half a season. , gave him the playing time he wanted, but the salary and the current Pistons’ offer have reduced by more than 200 million US dollars a year. Playing is not only for dreams, but also for life. Therefore, he supports Neal to leave.

However, when the coach led Neil and his agent to find the owner of the Wolves team, Neil said to the owner of the Wolves team unequivocally: "Boss, I came to you today to propose a deal."

"trade?"

"Yes!"

"Why? The team treats you badly?"

"Boss, you and the team have been very good to me. It has nothing to do with me proposing a trade. For nearly a year, you, the coaches and players have treated me very well, impeccable. Regarding this offer of trade , It has to do with my heart, it has to do with what I have thought about basketball and my dreams over the years."

"What's your idea? Can you talk about it?"

"In this life, you must win at least one MVP, regardless of the regular season or the finals, and you must win at least one championship."

"Then you mean that the Timberwolves can't realize your ideas and wishes?"

"The feeling I got through this playoffs, it should be like this!" Neal replied without hesitation, seeking truth from facts.

"If you are telling the truth, then I will not force you to stay, because if you stay, your mind will be in a trance, you will not be able to concentrate, and you will not be able to concentrate on practicing and playing. Therefore, I struggled to keep you, but it violated the meaning of basketball as a sport——to make the players happy and make the basketball players happier.”

The boss paused, and then continued: "I can let you go, but before you leave, I would like to ask the team members for their opinions. If most of them want you to go, then I have no doubts, but if a few of them agree with you Let's go, then, sorry, just stay with the Timberwolves obediently."

"Boss, there is no need to ask for it. They must all want me to leave."

"why?"

"Because of my existence, their original playing time and possession of the ball have been reduced, making him unworthy. Therefore, they want me to leave."

"Neil, not everyone is what you think. If we make a bet, I firmly believe that all teammates will not let you go."

"What if a player wants me to leave?"

"Then you win."

After hearing this, Neil instantly lost the pressure just now, because he had firmly identified a person in his heart, and he would definitely want him to leave, and that person was——Garnett.

"Then when shall we check with our teammates?"

"They should all go home now, they're all on vacation, when we have the first game of next season!"

When the boss said this, the coach hurriedly intervened to help Neil: "Boss, you tell him to wait until the beginning of next season is confirmed before leaving. Why don't you just say: Neil, I won't let you go, just come down!"

"But now that the players are not here, I can't help it."

"Of course you have a solution to the hole you dug, but you are unwilling. You feel that such a good player who has been cultivated with great difficulty is now going away. Therefore, you deliberately made such a difficult problem. He can't sign with other teams in the offseason, so you can blatantly sign him again."

The coach's words seemed to hit the boss's heart every sentence. The boss didn't know how to answer for a while, and asked the coach in silence: "Then you don't want Neil to stay?"

"Of course I hope. It's just that I can keep his people, but I can't keep his heart. Therefore, it's better to let the ignorant Neil go."

"Can……"

"I understand what you're thinking. It's true that a player as good and cheap as Neal is too hard to find, but he's not happy in the team. You've seen it this season. The top record entered the playoffs, but they were defeated by the Mavericks in the first round, and they were eliminated [-]-[-], and the biggest problem in this, maybe you, as the team owner, can also see it, it's just..."

"Coach, thank you for defending me, but it's okay, if it doesn't work, just listen to the boss!" Afraid that the coach would continue to talk, Neil inadvertently made the conflict between him and the wolf king transparent to the boss If he didn't, he forced a smile and interrupted his words.

"Neil, you have been burdened with too much grievance in the whole matter, and now it is at this juncture, how long do you want to hide it? In fact, as your coach, I have already put you and Kevin together. The problem between the two of you is in my eyes and I have it in my heart, but during the game, I am afraid that if I tell all the players about the problem between the two of you, they will become more absent-minded and have no intention of fighting, so I have never asked, but I know better than anyone else that in the off-season, one of you will definitely go, and one mountain cannot accommodate two tigers."

After hearing what the coach said to Neil, the boss suddenly understood in his heart. It turned out that Kevin was afraid that Neil would compete with him for the title of boss, but in this world, those who can go up and those who can't go down. Why did Neil choose to quit?

"Neil, let me ask you, are you so willing to give up the title and title of Wolf King to Kevin?" the boss asked tentatively.

"Actually, boss, for me, my teammates respect KG as the boss. There is no problem, and I have no doubts. I have always wanted to do what I can for this team and for you who have favored me. But KG However, after listening to the discordant words of fake fans outside, he began to speculate on me, and brought his emotions to the stage of the playoffs, fearing that I would steal his limelight, so he would go it alone with the ball and not pass the ball at all. This is the first place we stopped The biggest reason for the round.” Neil didn’t want to say it at first, but now he offered to make a deal. The boss felt that the reason was not enough to convince him, and the coach also talked about it. If he was hiding it, the boss It will not be released, so I said it without any concealment.

"This Kevin, look back and see how I deal with him."

"Boss, don't... If you do that, I would rather not say it just now, because KG is worthy of the title of Wolf King, and he has been fulfilling his responsibilities and obligations as the boss. Many times, when the team's offense is weak, he will He stepped forward and carried the whole team on his shoulders. It was only five games in the first round of the playoffs. His light was covered by me. In addition to the rumors and rumors from the outside world, he lost himself for a while. Overall, too much At that time, he fulfilled his responsibility as a big brother. I hope you don’t blame him. It’s not his fault. After all, one mountain can’t accommodate two tigers. Therefore, I hope the boss will fulfill me and the wolf king, because even if he and I stay, maybe Not only will it fail to achieve the desired effect, but it will make the team worse and worse. Based on this situation, boss, I beg you, just promise me and let me leave!"

The boss looked at the coach, and the coach nodded, and after thinking frantically for a while, he reached out and patted Neil on the shoulder: "Neil, I suddenly connected, I'd better let you go, because the team executives treat you Good luck to you, I hope you can start a new chapter after leaving the Timberwolves."

"Okay, thank you boss, coach!"

"Neil must live up to the entrustment, and never forget the kindness you have shown me."

Now that everything was settled, Neil and his agent didn't need to stay at the Timberwolves headquarters anymore, so they waved goodbye to the boss and the coach and went home to say goodbye to their parents and Lavender.
