Chapter 443 Retrograde History

After reaching a contract renewal agreement with Mo Mengchen, Osgus finally got through a lot of thoughts. The process went smoothly. The two sides solved the matter on the same day without many negotiations.

Afterwards, Parton left for something, and Momonchen went to Osgus' home that night for dinner.

“If you are really sincere, you should find a better restaurant.”

Momonchen believed that Osgus was a clean person, but he always felt unsafe to eat at other people's houses.

Everyone who has a cleanliness obsessiveness thinks that they are the most hygienic person in the world. Others are pathogens, and the houses where others live are heavily polluted areas.

Now, Mo Mengchen is not strictly considered a cleanliness obsessed with it, because playing basketball on the court inevitably requires contact with people. Over time, he no longer regards hygiene as a big deal unless it is at his own home.

"Sarah's cooking skills are the best of women I've ever met, you'll know if you try it."

Sarah is his wife, and looks five or six years younger than him, and according to Osgus, Sarah is actually older than him.

"Are you kidding?"

Osgus is in his early 30s this year. Sarah is a pure white man. With the usual short shelf life of a white girl, can she still maintain such a good age in her thirty-five or six?

"It's amazing, right?" Osgus was also very proud.

It is indeed magical. Momonchen sincerely hopes that Ephraim and Siphus can have such a long shelf life.

Ephraim is currently at the most beautiful age. Because European and American women's peak appearance is very early, Mo Mengchen must maintain a pessimistic mind, for example, Ephraim will change from Monica Beluch to Papi Jam one day in the future.

If Seaphus said, she will be 30 years old next year, and it will be clear at that time.

As for Medela...Mo Mengchen deliberately ignored this matter.

He still can't believe that he and Medela had sex.

"Mo, why do you want to add so many player options?"

Before Sarah prepares her dinner, Osgus takes the initiative to talk about today's contract renewal with Momonchen.

Osgus is not a professional sports management person, and he doesn't understand Momonchen's approach very much: "Is your future not in Detroit?"

"Why do you say that?" Mo Mengchen asked.

Osgus believes this is obvious. He doesn't deliberately add those terms to enjoy the first two years of the decreasing contract. If he is to make a lot of money, the team can satisfy him and there is no need to give them more terms.

Generally, player options will be set in the year before the end of the contract, while Mo Mengchen's contract starts from the second year, and there are player options every year.

This is very free, and the freedom makes everyone in the management uncomfortable. Who knows when he will break out of the contract?

What if the team didn’t have enough space at that time? What if the team couldn’t meet his requirements?

"You will make my successor nervous all day," Osgus said.

"In my opinion, your existence is even more critical than Grant Hill. We can lose Grant, but we can't lose you. It took you three years to turn the Pistons into your team. You brought a whole new culture that let us get rid of the bad boy label and everyone is grateful to you."

"That's why we must keep you."

Osgus was sincere. If he hadn't worked in other parts before, Mo Mengchen would have believed that this was his truth.

"Thank you, I'm very grateful."

Mo Mengchen politely said, picked up the cup, which contained a whole glass of wine. He drank half a cup and replied, "So far, my future is in Detroit."

“Then why…”

"Time will give you the answer, Dean," Mo Mengchen said. "Why let's talk about other things. You know, I'm not the only one who needs to renew the contract."

This offseason, the Pistons have seven people who need to renew their contracts, one of whom has expired, and one needs to consider whether to continue executing the last-year contract.

These seven are Momonchen, Ben Wallace, Don Reed, Ratliff, Louis M. Lore, Chris Robinson and Joe Dumas facing the player option.

"This is why I invited you to my house, it is airtight."

"Who do you think we need to stay?" Osgers said.

Mo Mengchen recalled the names of the other six people besides himself. To be more cruel, Dumas and Robinson don’t need to stay anymore. A veteran and a pure shooter can only play in garbage time.

Be rational, the team needs a locker room leader and an awesome person to lead a rookie.

No matter how you look at it, it is appropriate to let Dumas finish his last year.

"Ben and Theo," Momonchen said.

Osgus was surprised that Mo Mengchen did not let him keep all the others from the 1995th class.

"Where is Louis and Don?"

These people joined the team with Mo Mengchen, and they had the best relationship with each other. Leaving them is beneficial or harmless to Mo Mengchen.

"You can decide for yourself," Mo Mengchen said.

Osgus smiled. Until now, Mo Mengchen is still giving him face.

If he could make a decision, he wouldn't have to invite Mo Mengchen to his home. It was precisely because this matter was very private and he couldn't make a decision alone that he needed someone who wouldn't come up with bad ideas and was consistent with his goals to provide advice.

"I'll leave Louis and Big Ben," Osgus said.

Mo Mengchen suddenly felt that this conversation was not simple. Osgus might be talking about a big deal, but maybe he was just a short shot.

"I think you should be more than that." Mo Mengchen's eyes were like stars in the sky, as if they could illuminate the night.

"Yes, I'm about to tell you."

At this time, Sarah brought two plates of pasta, which looked like seafood.

"This is Sarah's specialty, try it." Osgus said with a smile.

Mo Mengchen picked up the fork and rolled up the noodles, saying, "I'm a little curious, don't suck my appetite."

"Yesterday, the Wizards' general manager called me."

"They want to join forces with us and Portland to talk about a big deal that will be beneficial to the three teams."

Mo Mengchen's mind was turning and he said, "I think this deal should involve Theo and Don?"

"Yes, Washington ordered the two of them." Osgus looked really delicious while eating the noodles.

For Mo Mengchen, the fishy smell was a bit heavy and he didn't like it.

Momonchen is ready to leave Ratliff and Reed, and he wants to know what the reward is.

"What can we get?" Mo Mengchen asked.

Osgus rolled up the noodles like Momon Dun and said softly: "Rashid Wallace."

Rashid Wallace, who roared at the Heavenly Lord, forced the four forwards, and spoke for basketball, could be called him no matter what he called him.

At the Trail Blazers, he started to play as a starting player. Compared to his teammate Starkhouse, his performance was quite mediocre. The reporters had no excuses to cheer him because he would not score 40 points and 20 rebounds or something.

He has the personality of a University of North Carolina: typical team style of a prestigious university, solid skills, genius, and - negatively speaking - he seems lazy when he needs to be selfish. He is a perfect team member, and everyone says that, not even like a sophomore.

The Trail Blazers fans who have never lost a game can occasionally see his excitement - for example, he is willing to dunk on the top center in the league, shoot one or two three-pointers against Reggie Miller. At this moment, he will smile for a while with his big mouth, but then focus his energy on the defensive end.

This personality was obvious as early as the rookie season.

The clues and trajectories of his career can be obtained from his rookie season - not eye-catching data, the team's rapid progress, off-court troubles, and youthful recklessness: he made 82 three-pointers unwillingly in 65 games.

Washington obviously did not realize the value of this teenager, or Weber's injury made them feel that they did not need to be extravagant on the bench.

In the summer of 1996, Rashid was sent to the Trail Blazers.

(To avoid repeated with Ben Wallace, from here, the name of Tianzun in the text is changed to Rashid)

In the history that Mo Mengchen is familiar with, Rashid has been playing with the Trail Blazers for many years, and even caused great trouble to the Lakers in 2000 because he is a power forward who can shoot from outside the three-point line.

Wait, if the Trail Blazers take action against Rashid at this time, who will they get?

Momonchen took a deep breath: "What did Portland get?"

"Mo, this is not in line with the rules." Osgus wanted to keep it in the dark.

"It's not in accordance with the rules for you and I to talk about this here." Mo Mengchen was too lazy to fight with him, "Who is it?"

Osgus continued to smile, but the answer he gave storm storm in Mo Mengchen's heart: "Chris Webber."

"Is this all the bargaining chips?"

"Yes."

That is to say:

The Pistons paid Theo Ratliff, Don Reed, and got Rashid Wallace.

The Trail Blazers paid Rashid Wallace draft pick and added a head start, and got Chris Webber.

The Wizards paid Chris Webber, got Theo Ratliff, Don Reed, draft picks and top-ups.

Judging from the players' later development, the Pistons definitely made a profit, but now it is a win-win deal.

Although the loss of Ratliff and Reed damaged the depth of the Pistons, they gained a power forward with both talent and combat power. The Wizards dealt with Weber, who almost became a cancer, and obtained good combat power and began to rebuild. What about the Trail Blazers? After getting Weber, they were officially upgraded to the top team in the league.

From now on, veteran teams such as Lakers, Jazz and Supersonics will be restless because of the rise of the Trail Blazers.

What would Weber Sabonis' combination look like? God knows.

We just need to know that Webber and Sabonis are basically the best passers ever at the same position.

In this way, it can basically be concluded that the most gorgeous Kings team in history will no longer exist, and history has been changed again.

"I heard that Rashid was a bit difficult to deal with." Mo Mengchen said with a smile.

Osgus asked with a smile: "Is this a problem for you?"

"Of course not."

Mo Mengchen answered decisively.
