Chapter 251 The alliance has no items not for sale!

"Steve, how many offers have we had so far?"

"A total of 29 teams have made offers to us."

After Cole answered the team owner's question, he looked at D'Antoni sitting opposite him with a somewhat gloomy look, and he also felt an indescribable feeling in his heart.

Everyone knows how much Gao Tian means to the Suns. The miraculous victories he brought to the Suns, the classic lore after another he left in the American West Arena, and his In the end, the first championship in team history was brought to the Suns. Originally, they thought that they would accept this reality with peace of mind after the bet with Gao Tian was realized, but almost everyone was silent at this point.

No one is a fool. The offers from all the teams in the league have proved Gao Tian's value. It can be said that if it weren't for those things in the middle of the season, the Suns would never choose the last way of trading. As long as Gao Tian stays here, the Sun Dynasty The establishment of the company is almost just around the corner, but the reality they have to accept is that they have fallen out with Gao Tian.

There was no room for detente between them.

Steve Kerr suddenly remembered the confident look on that rookie's face a few months ago. He told them that he hoped that he would leave here when the Suns won the championship. This was a bet between them.

Originally, they all thought that the misunderstanding between him and Stoudemire would gradually disappear with the passage of time, and the championship is not so easy to get. Although they shouted the slogan to win the championship this year, what they actually thought But as long as Gao Tian got the Central Management Bureau at the end of Gao Tian's rookie contract, they would make money. No one thought that they would really win the championship this year, when Gao Tian just entered the league.

The reality made a big joke with them, but anyway, their most important goal has been achieved, and it is useless to regret the matter so far, it is better to stop the loss in time and use the most favorable way to help the ball team defending!

"What kind of offer is this? The Spurs traded Michael Finley, Bruce Bowen and the picks for the next three years in exchange for Gao Tian. Is Popovich crazy? An old point guard in his 30s, their It’s better to keep the draft picks on Taobao, except for Bowen’s value for money, but it’s not a dream to change Gao Tian, ​​unless they send Duncan, otherwise, how can the Spurs have players who can exchange with Gao Tian at an equivalent value!”

"The Cavaliers are willing to send all the players except James, including the draft picks for the next three years. Hehe, unless they trade James for it, let's go and dream!"

The boss of the Suns couldn’t help muttering after seeing a lot of offers on the table, no one is a fool, the offers from the Cavaliers and the Spurs obviously treat them as fools, the Spurs will definitely not trade Duncan, and at the same time Reasonably, the Cavaliers will definitely not trade James. Their offer is more of a tentative offer. Of course, there is also an element of luck. After all, some teams are really stupid. What if Gao Tian is traded over? ?Wouldn't that be flattering?

"Is there no sincere offer?"

Hearing this, Steve Kerr pushed away most of the quotations on the table, and then picked out a few of them and handed them to the Sun boss with an unhappy face.

"I know the Heat's offer. It's really sincere. Let me see who else is here. This is... the offer from the Celtics?"

He immediately became interested. The ones selected by Cole showed that they were offers with real transaction value, and the Celtics, who were sitting on the Big Three, obviously had the capital to make a deal with the Suns!

"Ray Allen, Pierce choose one."

"Mike, what do you think of this offer?"

The boss of the Suns, who fell silent after watching this offer, suddenly asked D'Antoni, who had not expressed his opinion. To be honest, he was a little moved. The Celtics are also very sincere. Ray Allen and Pierce are both available. Immediate combat power, and they are all players at the peak All-Star level. For the Suns, any of them is very suitable. Pierce can replace Gao Tian's offensive ability after leaving, and Ray Allen is what the Suns dream of. Player, his three-point ability is incomparable with the Suns' tactics, he will definitely make the Suns' three-point ability to a higher level!

"I think they can both, both Pierce and Ray Allen are the players we need, but I personally prefer Pierce, Ray Allen's three-point ability is replaceable in the Suns, and Pierce's key ball ability It's what our players lack."

Thinking of this, D'Antoni said again: "But the wage gap between Gao Tian and them is too great. If we want A and B, we have to get a third party to make a deal."

The boss of the Suns didn't react when he heard this. He gently put the offer from the Celtics next to the offer from the Heat, and picked up another offer on the table.

"The Mavs are Josh Howard plus Jason Terry and a 2008 first-round pick?"

He chuckled, and said to Cole, who had a somewhat helpless expression: "Unless it's Dirk Nowitzki, there are other Western teams too, unless they show their stars, otherwise we can't compete with anyone in the Western Conference." Playoff teams make the deal."

"Okay, so basically you don't need to look at the offers from the western teams. Either they are not sincere enough, or they want to change but they can't get a decent bargaining chip. Although the Blazers took out their No. [-] pick and the Supersonics took it Their No. [-] pick, but obviously, what we need is immediate production, so ... there are only three offers to look at."

"The Bulls' Luol Deng plus Ben Wallace, this offer is not bad. Ben Wallace's defense is scarce for us. He can defend inside players like Duncan and Nowitzki."

Watching the boss look at himself, D'Antoni expressed his opinion.

"It's not bad, but I always feel... almost mean, Steve, you can ask them if they are willing to take out the first-round pick for next year. If you want to, you can continue to talk about it. If you don't want to spend it, forget it."

Seeing Cole nodded, he picked up the offer, "The Magic took Hedo Turkoglu, Darko Milicic, JJ Redick, this offer is okay but the salary gap is a bit big, I think It will be a bit troublesome to complete the transaction!"

He didn't mention the matter of asking the Magic to take out Dwight Howard. Without thinking about it, he knew that the management of the Magic couldn't agree to the deal. The old system was simply unacceptable.

Seeing the tangled expression on the boss's face, Cole was silent for a while and said: "The Magic are very sincere. It is obvious from their general manager Weisbrod's words that we can continue the conversation. If it comes to the end Getting their future picks isn't a big deal either."

"Okay, let me see the last offer."

"This is... a lynx?"

He looked at Cole with some doubts. In his impression, what good bargaining chips can the Bobcats have to go so far? You must know that even if the players in the New York Knicks are randomly selected, the wage gap is so big that they can find ways to make up for it. Cole was not tempted, although the main reason is that the Knicks players are all bad contracts, but now the Bobcats can tempt Cole is enough to show that their offer is not low.

"The 2008, 2009 first-round picks plus Gerald Wallace and Emeka Okafor, this chip is good, but it's not very good?"

"It's my opinion,"

D'Antoni hurriedly said: "Gerald Wallace is a perfect fit for our system. He has outside shooting and inside offense and defense are very good. With him, the strength of the team after we lost Gao Tian is almost the same. It won't change much, and our defense will be better."

"This... Let's take a look again, we still need to discuss it again."

He hesitated and finally put the offer on the table.
