Chapter 194 Barkley's Deal(1/3)

"Have you seen The Lion King?" Wang Tiejun asked as he came to the nearest large cinema and looked at some posters.

"I've seen it, but it's good to see it again." Yu Feihong said.

"Okay, just look at this." He said.

At this time, the pager in Yu Feihong's bag suddenly rang. When he took it out, he saw a message: "Please call me back soon, Teacher Cui Xinxin."

"Teacher Cui?"

She was a little confused. This was her Nortel class teacher. Did he suddenly come to her with something urgent?

"Yeah." Lao Wang handed over the phone.

She took it and dialed it. The phone only rang twice before she was connected. She should be waiting next to the phone.

"Hello, Feihong?"

"Teacher Cui, do you have something urgent to do with me?"

"Feihong, you, I won't beat around the bush, you won't be filming anymore. You asked for leave and rushed back to the capital. Are you in love?"

Yu Feihong was stunned, glanced at Lao Wang who was looking at the poster, shook his head and said: "No, I'm with a friend, he just came back from the United States, and I'm going back to Hong Kong tomorrow, so I'm taking two days off.

.”

"real?"

"real."

"Teacher is not stopping you from falling in love. It's time for you to fall in love now, but you have to be more discerning."

"Thank you, teacher. By the way, teacher, who told you?"

"Uncle Wang, the doorman."

After hanging up the phone, Wang Tiejun had already bought two tickets for The Lion King, and bought some cold drinks, ice cream, and snacks before the two of them entered the cinema.

"I heard that Li Lianjie has lived in Los Angeles for several years, and his wife and daughter are still there."

"Did he go to Hollywood to develop his career? No wonder there haven't been any movies of his for several years. But why haven't I seen the movies he made there?"

"No, I want to open a martial arts gym. There is no market for us Chinese in Hollywood. I went there once in Chenglong a few years ago but failed."

"Oh, if you sign with a company like CAA, you should still have the opportunity to make movies, right?"

"Do you think anyone can sign into CAA?"

"CAA is also a liar. He said he was using money to promote me in China, but he ended up spending a lot of money to no avail. Fortunately, I played well in the playoffs, so they were willing to give me some resources.

Sign them for free."

"Will you make movies in the future?"

"Movies? Barkley and Ceballos of our team have participated in movie shooting in the past two years. I don't know if I will try it someday."

The two of them were watching a movie and chatting at the same time. In order not to disturb the viewing of the people next to them, they both lowered their voices and put their heads together.

After the movie, both of them had their necks crooked, but they seemed to have a closer relationship and a better brotherly relationship.

But that's all, the height gap has always hindered the two of them.



USA, Phoenix.

Colangelo has received a third offer from the Mosaic team and is looking carefully at the deal.

David Frank has talked to him again and expressed Barkley's thoughts and wishes to go to Houston. He needs to be respected if it is feasible.

Of course, he definitely didn't want Barkley to stay in the West, let alone Mosaic. He wanted Barkley to go to the East and compete with the Bulls.

In fact, at this time last season, Barkley wanted to go to the Lakers, but was traded to the Suns. Even if he was a superstar at that time, he was not qualified to decide where he would go, and had very little influence on the management.

But today, a year later, the situation is different. He won the championship as a core player and won four major honors in a single season. His status in the league has risen significantly. Colangelo must respect him. This is

It's an unspoken rule, otherwise no superstar will be willing to join the Suns in the future.

To put it simply, if someone helped you win the championship, then you would not only deprive them of their core position, but also disrespect their wishes during the transaction, that would be too much.

His goal for next season is mainly to train old K, which is the most important. Therefore, after repeated consideration, he is not so repulsive about Barkley wanting to go to Houston.

However, none of the three offers from the Mosaic team satisfied him.

The core bargaining chip is Otis Thorpe and Rob Dehori. Both are forwards. The former can substitute for the fifth position, but both are only 206 centimeters tall and are light in weight.

Thorpe is 29 years old this year. He was Mosaic's main power forward last season, averaging 33 minutes, 12.8 points, 8.2 rebounds and 2.6 assists per game.

Horry is just a rookie, the 11th lottery pick in the first round of 1992, but he played the main third position in Mosaic last season, averaging 30 minutes per game, 10 points, 5 rebounds, 2.4 assists, 1 steal and 1 block. He is good at both offense and defense.

Some nurturing values.

But if these two want to replace Barkley, they are still a little far behind.

In addition to these two core bargaining chips, the first two offers also included some role players and fringe players, but he was not interested.

As for this third offer, Mosaic exchanged it for a future draft pick, an unprotected first-round pick in 1994.

However, considering that Mosaic has Barkley and his strength must be at the championship level, how valuable is this pick? If Mosaic wins the championship, the late pick in the first round will be worthless.

"Barkley and Dream are both 30 years old. If there are no major injuries, they should be able to maintain their peak for two or three years. In other words, the signings in 1994, 95, or even 1996 are of little value."

After thinking about it, he felt that he couldn't get the draft pick next year, but the draft pick in 1996 should be OK. These two people may not be able to maintain their peak performance until 1996. At least Barkley, who has a lot of injuries, is in danger.

At the same time, 1996 should be a good draft year, a draft year that cannot be missed.

All NBA teams have established very detailed files for potential college students and high school students. Under normal circumstances, the time when they participate in the draft can be estimated. There are many potential players who should be in 1996.

Participate in the talent show.

After thinking it over carefully, he rejected the third offer, wrote down the chips he needed, and sent it back to Houston.

The chips he wants are an unprotected first-round pick in 1996 and an unprotected first-round pick in 1997.

Half an hour later, Houston sent in its fourth offer sheet, agreeing to an unprotected first-round pick in 1996, but not in 1997.

The Mosaic team has also considered it very clearly. If Dameng and Barkley join forces, they should be able to put the team at the championship level within three years. Therefore, although 1996 is a big year for the draft, its value is not great.

In 1997, the team's strength should have declined, and the team would probably need to be rebuilt at that time, so this pick could not be given.

Of course, the Mosaics didn't even want to give him the 1996 draft pick, but if they didn't want to give it, they couldn't get Barkley, so they had to give it.

"Unprotected first-round picks in '94, '95, '96?"

Of the three first-round picks, the first two were of little value. Colangelo made a good deal and finally agreed.

But he added a second-round pick in 1996, and the other side agreed.

The Suns paid Barkley for interior replacement Jarrod Mustaf, and Mosaic paid for Otis Thorpe's unprotected first-round pick in 1994, 1995, and 1996 and Robert Horry's second-round pick in 1996.

He then notified David Frank and submitted the transaction application to the league, which will take effect only after approval.

After receiving the news, Barkley was very happy. This transaction did not cause any damage to the Mosaic team's lineup. He took Thorpe's power forward position. In fact, he was only missing the No. 3 position left by the rookie Horry. So Mosaic.

The team will have a strong ability to compete for the championship next season, and he has a chance to win the second championship.

As for the 1996 draft pick, he doesn't care at all. That's a matter for the future. What does it have to do with him?

An hour later, the alliance officially approved the deal.

The Suns and Mosaics announced the trade at the same time, causing media shock.

"Damn Suns, damn Barkley!"

After Jordan found out, he was very angry. He immediately called David Frank and asked dissatisfiedly: "David, why didn't you tell me that Barkley was going to Houston?"

David Frank is also very embarrassed. Although Jordan is his most important player, Barkley is not what he used to be and his value is also great. This time he earned a share of 2 million US dollars in commercial sponsorship from Barkley, so he cannot

Totally on Jordan's side.

In fact, he was just operating Barkley's transactions normally.

He said: "Michael, I can't help it. Barkley wants to go to Houston, and I can't stop it. I can't stop it. I can't say it out loud."

Do you want me to say to him, Hey, Charles, you can't go to Houston, that would be a threat to the Bulls."

"Shet!"

Jordan swore at his agent without any scruples and then hung up the phone.

He knows very well that when Barkley and Dameng join forces, not to mention their offensive strength, their defensive strength is stronger than the combination of Barkley and Old K. If the Bulls want to win the championship next season, even if they strengthen the inside line, there will be many difficulties. He and the outside line will

It will be very difficult for Pippen to get into the paint.

Now he is thirty years old and has only won two championships. Who knows how many more years of his peak period he will have. If he cannot complete a three-peat dynasty in the next few years, his historical status will definitely be seriously affected.

Thinking of this, he became anxious and hated Wang Tiejun and Buckley even more, the two culprits who destroyed his establishment of a dynasty.

At this time, Bulls general manager Jerry Krause certainly saw the deal.

Rodman's trade failed, and Oliver Miller's trade was rejected by the Suns, which made him very disappointed. Now he just wants to get a center, which is what the Bulls urgently need. As for the power forward, there is Grant, not

Very needed.

And in this draft, he selected Toni Kukic at the second pick in the second round. This practical player known as the Magician of Europa has a great tactical effect and can be used as soon as he picks it up. He is a good match for the fourth position.
