...

In the training arena in Miami, in the general manager's office, Pat Riley carefully looked at the stack of data reports in his hand.

His eyes are naturally not only about the data of this season, but also about the preparations for next season.

Except Pat Riley, the one sitting opposite Pat Riley was Spolscola.

As the team's scout manager, he is naturally indispensable for team building and trading.

"Eric, how is it going on when I asked you to find out?"

"There are few point guards, especially excellent point guards, and there are not many who may leave the team.

From the moment it seems that Steve Nash may leave the team. This year is his contract year, but Texas has no intention of renewing the contract in advance.

And Sam Kassel, whose contract expires this year, may not renew his contract if the Timberwolves fail to break through the West.

Byron Davis just signed a contract with the Hornets, but next year the Hornets will conquer the West, and they are likely to rebuild directly.”

"And Eric Snow, and Gary Payton, the contract will expire next year."

...

Spoelscola was naturally doing the tasks ordered by the boss.

"Who do you think is the most likely and suitable for us?"

"Of course it's Steve Nash, I think he should be very good with our lineup.

Chen was used to running and bombing when he was in UCL, and our current tactics are somewhat striking.

But, both UCL and we are missing an engine now, and I think Steve is exactly this person.”

Spoelscola is worthy of being the head coach in the future. He is still very insightful in tactics.

Pat Riley nodded and shook his head again.

Although he didn't say anything, Spolscola had received the message and he was not optimistic about Nash.

Nash is indeed very suitable for running and bombing tactics, but he also has a corresponding weakness, that is, defense.

Although the Heat are playing very happily in offense and defense conversions, in fact, the Heat's defense is not bad either.

Especially the quick turn to switch defense, it can be said that the Heat are the best person in the entire league.

After all, Pat Riley is also an old coach and believes in this sentence very much: win the championship when defending.

Although Chen Mo's poor defense is actually just the past, Chen Mo's defense has grown a lot now.

What's more, Chen Mo's poor defense is just one-on-one defense, and he did a good job in assisting defense.

Otherwise, Pat Riley would not have built him as the core of the team.

In fact, Pat Riley thinks that Gary Payton and Eric Snow are more suitable for the Heat in comparison.

"Where are there on the front guard?"

Yes, Pat Riley's focus is not only on point guards, but also on the forward guards.

He wants to trade Chen Mo?

Of course it is impossible. After all, Chen Mo is the core he has established and is in a period of rapid growth.

In addition to Chen Mo, the one with the most transactional value is naturally Eddie Jones.

There is also the last two years of contract, which is very attractive for teams that are planning to clear up the cap space and rebuild.

Even, compared to Grant, who has a three-year contract, has a transaction value that is not even as valuable as Eddie Jones.

"Vincecart's agent has made moves and is probably disappointed with Toronto, but next season, the Raptors may not be willing to let him go.

And Tracy McGrady, who probably won't want to waste time on the Magic again.

But I don't think these two are suitable for us."

Pat Riley nodded. The two positions overlapped with Chen Mo, which may not be a good thing for the team.

Moreover, if you want to get these two top stars through trade, it is estimated that the Heat will have to pay Chen Mo.

This is something that everyone in the Heat, including the boss and the fans, cannot accept.

"There are also Mike Finley, Jamal Mashburn... These people may leave the team.

But I think the one that suits us the most is Stephen Jackson. If he can focus on defense, he will definitely be the best wing defensive player."

Pat Riley nodded, looking very interested, and the Heat's defense really needs to be strengthened.

Spolscola saw Pat Riley in a good mood, so he asked boldly.

"Mr. Coach, do we really want to trade Eddie?"

Eddie Jones has been playing for the Heat for four years. In the previous few years, he was the one who led the team through the difficulties.

This year, as the boss of the team, he took the initiative to give up his core position.

It can be said that Eddie Jones has definitely contributed to the Heat.

Pat Riley smiled and said, "Eric, now we're just talking about the possibility, and it's too early to make a decision.

You know, if that shark is going to leave next year, that's what everyone needs to fight for."

Pat Riley said it very clearly that all team transactions next year will wait for O'Neal to make a decision before continuing.

The Heat are no exception. If it is possible to get O'Neal, they will never let go.

Other options will only be made if you don't get O'Neal.

Spolscola nodded, and he also understood that the greatest value of Eddie Jones to the Heat is now trade.

Pat Riley was generally satisfied with this disciple, compared to Stan Van Gundy.

So Pat Riley planned to educate his disciples: "Eric, do you think NBA is a place for human feelings?"

Spoelscola woke up Spoelscola, who thought for a while and said.

"Maybe there is?"

“Yes, maybe there are, but very few.

For the NBA, human relationships are far from winning or winning.

In this league, you will only hear others praise the championship, not the runner-up.

Even, for some, the runner-up is even a shame.

NBA is just a business, and this sentence is correct at all.

If it is possible to win the championship, I will trade Chen without hesitation. Similarly, if it is possible to win the championship, the boss will kick me away without hesitation."

Spolscola was stunned and immediately realized that it was Pat Riley who was educating him.

Without such a decisive mentality, it is not suitable to become a head coach or even manage a team.
