After hanging up the phone with Xu Yi, Ke Yan fell into deep thought. After a while, he made the first call to Larry Sander, wanting to know the management's thoughts.

"Coincidentally, I was just about to call you to find out about the situation!" Before Ke Yan could speak, Larry Sand said first, "Did Kobe tell you anything?"

"..." Ke Yan was speechless for a while, "If I had contacted Kobe, would this happen?"

Ke Yan has always been well-planned and methodical in his work; for example, he made full preparations for Garnett's deal, so the deal negotiations were very fast, and it took almost no time to enter the substantive discussion stage.

If you put it on someone who likes to take advantage of it, you won't be able to negotiate without it for five or six rounds.Earning an extra three walnuts and two dates is a waste of time and affects efficiency.

The transaction led by him must be cut quickly, and it is absolutely impossible to delay until late July, let alone such rumors.

"OK, now we also want to hear your opinion, do we want to participate in the transaction offer?" Larry Sand asked.

"You guys mean..." Ke Yan asked.

"It's Anthony, he respects your opinion 100% on the trade." Larry Sander said, "If you want to get Kobe, we will start trade negotiations;... If you think our current lineup is strong enough If so, I'll call Paul and Joe Johnson right now and promise them I won't trade them."

He said that he 100% respected Ke Yan's opinion, but from Larry Sander's tone, Ke Yan still heard what the other party meant. The team hoped to discuss a deal with the Lakers.

That TM is Kobe, the No. 1 weapon, who doesn't want him?

"To be honest, if the news broke before the draft, or even before July 7, I should consider advancing this deal. If we form a combination of Kobe and KG, with the right role players, we may play our own This will be the most glorious period in the history of the Eagles." Ke Yan said, "But now, we don't have enough spare power to restructure the lineup around them."

"Also, from the perspective of interests, I am not optimistic about the Lakers trading Kobe to us." Ke Yan said, "It's too embarrassing for them!"

Ke Yan was forced to leave because of Phil Jackson, but his own Kobe ran away with Keyan. Could there be anything more embarrassing than this?

"But the chips we can provide should be the best." Larry Sand said, "If the Lakers want to maximize their interests, we are the most suitable choice."

A point guard who was selected to the second team of the All-NBA team in his rookie season, and a shooting guard who can provide first-class singles ability, the bargaining chips that the Eagles can provide are very competitive.

"It's ten o'clock in the evening Beijing time, and I've already rested. I don't know about this matter. Ten hours to operate this transaction, either complete the transaction or terminate the negotiation." After a moment of silence, Ke Yan said.

This is a "best of both worlds" approach.The deal is done, the boss' goal is achieved, the team has a core lineup formed by Garnett at the end of his peak and Kobe at his peak, Ke Yan can continue to build the team around the two superstars; the deal fails, Ke Yan gives Paul and Joe the first time Johnson made a phone call to calm people's hearts, and at the same time released information to Xu Yi, "rejecting" Kobe's overtures.

"Ten hours? It's hard~" Larry Sand hesitated.

"Just ten hours! I won't rest tonight, you can tell me the progress of the negotiation at any time. If there is no way to complete all the procedures within ten hours, the negotiation will be terminated immediately."

In his previous life, there was a rumor about Kobe Bryant, "Go buy a Bulls jersey." As a result, this trade rumor directly destroyed the Bulls' "Youth Guards" spirit, and last season he scored in the top four in the Eastern Conference. The lineup fell to No. 12 in the Eastern Conference that season.

Although he won the No. [-] lottery and Rose was selected as "compensation", this situation is still what Ke Yan does not want to see.

The Eagles are different from the Bulls. The Eagles are a championship team and have no time to toss with the Lakers.

"OK, listen to you!" I was a little dissatisfied with Ke Yan's attitude, but Larry Sander probably could understand Ke Yan's good intentions.

In this matter, he chose himself, not to win over the players to fight against the management, but to protect his prestige to the greatest extent, so that he can control the team in case of accidents.

After hanging up the phone, Ke Yan rubbed his temples, then took the hotel room phone, called room service, and delivered a bunch of food.

Tonight is destined to be restless!

After taking a shower, Wang Lifan came out wrapped in a bathrobe. Seeing Ke Yan sitting in the living room with a computer in his hand, he knew it was the team's business again, so he asked softly, "Has something happened to the team again?"

"Well, Kobe suddenly wanted to come to the Eagles. Anthony has moved his mind, and the team is working." Keyan reached out and handed over a strawberry, "The next ten hours are the key."

"Kobe actually plans to follow you, my God~" Wang Lifan couldn't help shaking his head, feeling incredible.

Even if you don't pay much attention to basketball, you know what Kobe means to the Lakers.

"Where is following me, it's nothing more than O'Neal won the fourth championship ring, and the Lakers management doesn't do anything, he can't see the hope of the championship." He has a clear understanding of himself, Kobe, and Ke Yan. The change of jersey from "Bulls" to "Eagle" may be one of the reasons, but it is definitely not all.

The temptation to join forces with Garnett, the good living environment in the city of Atlanta, and the thriving prospects of the Eagles may be more important factors; the same situation, if you are in Orlando, Milwaukee or even Portland, it is estimated that Kobe will not consider it. .

As for the negative effects of applying for a transfer, as long as they win the championship, all of this can be wiped out!For a while, Kobe has won a lot of these honors, and he has won two scoring titles, which is nothing new.His current goal is to achieve a higher level of MVP, championship ring and FMVP, surpassing that fat man!

Ke Yan turned into a keyboard warrior, knocking non-stop in front of the computer, integrating all relevant information and information into one document, and performing a neat deduction.

In the previous life, after Kobe revealed that he "hoped to go to the Bulls", there were four deals negotiated with the Lakers, namely the Bulls, Mavericks, Pistons and Cavaliers.Among them, the attitudes of the Mavericks and the Cavaliers are the same. Except for the leading stars (Dirk Nowitzki, James), others can be picked at will, and then they are directly OUT; the only teams that are negotiating in depth are the Pistons and Bulls. Kobe holds the right to veto the transaction , and made it clear that he didn't want to go to the Pistons, the Pistons were OUT; in the end, the Bulls were left, because Kobe asked the Bulls to keep Luol Deng as their "Pippen", and the Lakers insisted on asking for "Luol Deng" and gave up.

Obviously, the "Paul + Joe Johnson" chips that the Eagles can come up with are more attractive than the Bulls. The team will keep Garnett, which is attractive enough for Kobe; No, one is the relationship between Keyan and the Lakers, and the other is the market that was disrupted by Keyan himself.

"Karnett is worth so much chips, isn't Kobe worthy?" Ke Yan could imagine that after Kupchak opened his mouth, he would use such words to attack Larry Sander.

Does this count as shooting yourself in the foot?

"Why don't you go to rest first? I guess I won't sleep today." Ke Yan was busy for a while, and said to Wang Lifan who was sitting across from him to read the materials.

"I'll accompany you~ It's okay." Wang Lifan shook his head.

"Staying up late is bad for your body."

"Don't discuss it with a doctor..." Wang Lifan was halfway through, when Ke Yan's cell phone rang.

"..." Ke Yan gave an apologetic look, and connected the call from Larry Sander.

The Lakers gave the first asking price, Kobe + Kwame Brown for Paul + Joe Johnson + Diaw + Milicic + Eagles two first-round picks in 07 and 09.

While taking away all the chips of the Eagles except Garnett, he also dumped Kwame Brown's rubbish contract to the Eagles. With this bargaining chip, the Eagles are just like the Heat in the 0405 season, except for the core duo. In addition, the role players are full of flaws.To make matters worse, the team's next two draft picks have been poached, making it difficult to use the draft picks to make a fuss.

Considering the salaries of Kobe, Garnett, and Hassel, it may be very difficult for the Eagles to reinforce.

"Diao and Milicic can give at most one; two draft picks can also give at most one." The Lakers asked for a lot of money, and Ke Yan sat down to pay back the money.

"Although I'm not very friendly to you, I still want to say that you are the most handsome at work~" Wang Lifan couldn't help but praise when Ke Yan hung up the phone.

"It's the truth, there's nothing impolite about it." Ke Yan gave Wang Lifan a blank look, and then snarled.

Only gave Larry Sander 10 hours to operate, and Ke Yan was not optimistic that the deal could be made.However, to his surprise, the transaction really moved in the right direction quickly.

"..." Ke Yan thought about it in his mind, and probably guessed the possibility of the deal going through.

It is already a high-level infighting within the Lakers!

After detailed analysis, it should be the transaction promoted by the faction of Jim Bass + Kupchak.

Jenny Buss + Phil Jackson forced Keyan away, and Phil Jackson came out to take charge of the Lakers and got the team's trading rights.However, in the past season, they did not create a competitive lineup, and the team's record did not rise but fell; which led to Kobe's departure.Putting this hat on Jenny Buss is undoubtedly a big blow to her!

In this way, an obstacle has been cleared for Jim Buss to take power for the Lakers in the future!

"The world is so big, there are no surprises~" Ke Yan never expected that Kobe could become a victim of high-level internal fighting, and the siblings were not afraid to kill the Lakers.

When the time came to 07 a.m. Beijing time, Ke Yan, who had not slept all night, got the fastest progress of the transaction from Larry Sander, and the two parties reached an agreement in principle.The Eagles sent Paul, Joe Johnson, Milicic, the first-round pick in 09 and the right to trade in [-], and got Kobe + Kwame Brown from the Lakers.

"Communicate with Kobe immediately and ask him to give up his right to veto the transaction! Then complete all the procedures for the transaction as soon as possible. If there is no way to submit the transaction documents to the league within two hours, I will come out and terminate the transaction!"

Ke Yan's attitude was very strong, urging Larry Sander to advance the transaction.Larry Sander, who has been busy all day, is also the first two big.

The transaction has been agreed, and it is only a matter of time to complete the remaining procedures. Is there any need for such a rush?

If the NBA has a "power list", Ke Yan's ranking must be ahead of Larry Sander, so he must cooperate with Ke Yan's work.I contacted Kobe immediately to discuss with him about joining the Eagles.

"Sorry, Mr. Sander. Maybe I still need some time to explain this to my wife and daughter." Kobe was fully prepared to leave Los Angeles.

But as a man who has already married and started a business, married a wife and had children, he needs to tell his wife and daughter before making a decision, especially after the "handsome incident" caused Vanessa to miscarry, Kobe feels more guilty towards his wife Affection.

"I know your responsibilities to your family, but we have taken some risks in this transaction. The suggestion I got is that we need to complete the transaction within today." Larry Sand said, "Maybe you need to make a decision as soon as possible." Decide."

"Must be today?" Kobe asked strangely, "I don't think it's urgent."

"This is a joint decision of our management. I hope you will understand."

After hanging up the phone, Larry Sander suddenly understood why Ke Yan set a time limit of ten hours.

The video was exposed, and Kobe's application for a trade to the Eagles was indeed his real idea.But whether it was just a momentary impulse or the result of deliberation, no one else knows.

Ke Yan's decision, one is not to give Kobe time to "deliberate, seek advantages and avoid disadvantages"; second, absolutely not let the atmosphere of the Eagles team be affected by this rumor.

Come and come, don't come and pull down!I want to play fish pond management, sorry, no talk!

Ninety percent of the work has been done, and the next step depends on God's will.

Subjectively, Larry Sander still hopes that Kobe can come.

Starting from his own career, this transaction is enough to be recorded in history, and as the main executor, didn't he make great contributions to the Eagles?

Last season, the Eagles won a bunch of season bests, but he didn't get the best general manager, and everyone attributed the credit to Ke Yan.This season, Garnett and Kobe have been brought in one after another. We must face up to his contribution as a general manager, right?

Of course, he made himself a cup of coffee to refresh himself, and Larry Sander stared at his men to prepare the transaction documents. As long as Kobe agreed to give up the transaction veto right, the Eagles signed the transaction documents with the Lakers as soon as possible. trade.

19:00

19:15

19:20

Time passed by, and there was no news from the Lakers. The ecstasy on Larry Sander's face turned into anxiety.

At this time, Kobe called Ke Yan.Ke Yan didn't answer, and the ringing of the phone woke up Wang Lifan who was in a deep sleep.

"???" Wang Lifan looked at Ke Yan, but Ke Yan shook his head.

In any case, Keyan does not intend to participate in the transaction.

"If I need to convince you to come to the Lakers, then you may not be suitable for the Lakers." This is a very pretentious sentence Kobe said later.

The same sentence, Ke Yan can also be returned to Kobe: "If you want me to persuade you to follow me, then you may not be suitable to play under me."

After the phone rang 16 times and was hung up, Ke Yan went to the refrigerator to get a cup of iced black coffee, gulped down half a cup, and the feeling of ice and bitterness filled Ke Yan's brain, and he became sober in an instant.

When the time came to 8:00, Ke Yan "woke up" and immediately called Paul.

"Hello, Chris. I'm Kimi. Yes, I'm in Huaxia, and I saw the news about Kobe as soon as I woke up. What I want to say is that I have no idea of ​​using you and Joe Johnson as bargaining chips to trade Kobe. In Canada In Nate’s trade, I have explained to him my tactical thinking for the new season in detail, and in my tactical system, you have a very important position! So you don’t need to worry about being traded away.”

In the same way, Ke Yan said it again when he was on the phone with Joe Johnson. Compared with Paul's "fortunate", Joe Johnson is much calmer. Maybe he doesn't care where he plays at all?

It was only the third time that Ke Yan called Kobe: "Hey, Kobe, I just woke up and saw your call and saw the trade rumors."

"Well! I originally planned to ask for your opinion, but now I don't need it anymore." Kobe said, "I still plan to stay with the Lakers."

"Ah! What are you making trouble with?" Ke Yan pretended not to know, and complained.

"You don't need me either, do you?" Kobe said seriously.

"..." Ke Yan paused, and said, "To be honest, if you applied for a trade before and after the draft, I should push for the trade as hard as possible. This is not an appropriate time."

Why didn't Kobe know that this was not the right time?But his original intention was to see what the Lakers could do with Xia Chuang's limited operating space before making a decision.

Facts have proved that Kobe overestimated the operational capabilities of the Lakers management, Jerry Buss is old, and Jenny Buss and Jim Buss can't make any big moves; he also overestimated his own attractiveness.If he missed the best trading opportunity, even he would be rejected by Ke Yan.

"Good luck~"
