Here, Zhang Weiping picked up the microphone and prepared for an interview.

A familiar figure broke into Li Lei's vision.

Eric Spoelstra, Heat assistant coach and director of scouting.

He held a Heat hat and took the initiative to shake Li Lei's hand: "Stone, Miami welcomes you!"

Li Lei: "…"

Su Qun: "..."

Holy, Alstom's words come true?

The experienced coach Zhang Weiping did not react: "Mr. Eric, have you remembered wrongly? Li Lei was just... "

Over there, Adam Xiaohua stepped onto the rostrum in advance.

“A deal happened.”

"The Mosaics sent out the 15th pick in the second round that he just selected, and the team's inside Kevin Kato."

"Get the Heat forward Lafonso Alice, defender Anthony Carter."

This is not surprising news, it is very common for rookies outside the lottery zone to be traded frequently.

The team management is used to it, and the first thing they began to consider was the gains and losses of the deal.

First of all, Kevin Cato's annual salary is less than $7 million.

Both Ellis and Carter are more than 3 million.

The salary of both parties to the transaction can basically be balanced.

Second.

Mosaic team here.

Kevin Kato was originally the starting center of the Mosaics.

But after the mosaics chose Yao Ming, Kato could only change to the power forward, but the effect was not good.

So he became Yao Ming's substitute again, and averaged 4.5 points, 5.9 rebounds and 1.2 blocks per game last season.

The data is good, but it doesn't match his big contract with an annual salary of $6.7 million.

What's worse is that his big contract has three years left, and his salary is getting higher and higher, which is simply a poison contract.

Li Lei is a second-round rookie who has not had the chance to prove himself yet.

The Heat.

Lafonso Alice, a forward who averaged 5 points and 2.9 rebounds last season.

Anthony Carter, the playback who averaged 4.1 points and 4.1 assists last season.

They are both role players, and the only thing they have in common is that they only have the last year left in the contract.

Then the purpose of both parties to the transaction is very obvious.

The Mosaics are trying to clear Kato's junk contract and save a lot of cap space. By the way, using Elis and Carter to increase the depth of the outside bench.

The Heat are training the bloated outside line to clear out the bloated outside line and concentrate on cultivating the No. 10 pick Caron Butler in 2002 and this year's No. 5 pick Dwyane Wade, and by the way, use Kato, who is still powerful, to strengthen the weak inside line.

As for Li Lei, it is just a trivial addiction to balance the transaction.

The result of the transaction is naturally a win-win situation. At least now it seems that both teams can achieve their goals.

But the mosaics are more profitable.

In the next three years, the Mosaics will have greater salary space to sign satisfied players in the free market.

And the Heat will be stuck in the salary of Kato's big contract.

So, in the near future, this deal is a win-win situation.

In the long run, the mosaic team took advantage.

So, Mosaics general manager Dawson beats Heat general manager Riley?

Then it was revealed that the deal was not negotiated by Dawson and Riley, but by Dawson's assistant Morey and Riley.

Morey seems to be under Dawson, but he is the confidant of his boss Alexander, and his actual voice is not inferior to Dawson.

According to Li Lei’s understanding.

Alexander was the emperor, Dawson was the minister, and Morey was the eunuch.

Ministers have high rank and powerful rank, but they are subject to supervision and constraints by eunuchs.

After all, eunuchs are the closest people to the emperor.

Alexander invited Morey, who had never touched basketball, to use him as a dog to drive away the old minister of the mosaic team, Dawson.

From this point of view, the dog performed well and saved the owner tens of millions of dollars in the first move.

(Cato's total salary for the remaining three years of contract exceeds 20 million.)

Sure enough, after understanding the inside story of the transaction, the management of each team praised Morey very much.

He thought that he had taken a big advantage from the "God's Operation" Pat Riley for the first time, and he was indeed a business genius.

In the mosaics draft office, Morey was smoking a cigar and was quite content.

The leader Carol Dawson on the surface was a little helpless.

He disapproved of the deal, but could not violate the orders of his boss Alexander.

He knew that Morey was a dog from Alexander and would take away his rights like a bone snatching him.

That night, Dawson suddenly had the idea of ​​resigning.

It feels like my wish to work for the mosaic team for the rest of my life is like a joke.

But he has been here for too long. The decades of relationships really don't mean giving up. Dawson still wants to continue to contribute light and heat to the mosaic team.

But head coach Jeff Van Gundy stood up.

"Morey, why? We agreed to choose Li Lei's."

The angry coach Xiaofan called Morey by his name.

He really likes Li Lei and is angry that Morey trades him.

Morey said with a fake smile: "Didn't we choose Li... Are you doing something? You just traded him again. Oh! Jeff, don't be angry, I'm just kidding."

Seeing Xiao Fan's expression of being wanted to eat people, Morey quickly changed his words.

"A second-round rookie who has not proved himself yet is not worth your anger."

"We all lost a second round pick that is worth mentioning for the mosaic team, but we got a salary space of 7 million, or even 8 million, for the next three years. With this money, we can sign ten times and twenty times more players than Li Qiang."

Coach Xiaofan was still very angry, but he also knew that his arm could not twist his thighs and his voice was far less powerful than Morey.

And Morey's statement is indeed reasonable.

But... he also hinted when entering the court that Li Lei would choose his.

Now that such a thing has happened, he doesn’t know how to face Li Lei. Will Li Lei call himself a villain who is untrustworthy?

Morey is a dog, he can be shameless, and coach Xiao Fan is shameless himself.

In addition, where is Yao Ming?

"Morey, what you promised Yao Ming, how do you explain to him now?"

Morey smiled indifferently: "You don't have to worry about it if you wrap it in me."

But I was thinking in my heart: Explanation? Is Yao Ming worthy?

If Alexander hadn't valued the Chinese market behind Yao Ming, I wouldn't have even been willing to deal with him.

Coach Xiao Fan finally surrendered, but he felt uncomfortable all the time. He suddenly remembered what the media often said: NBA is a business.

He didn't agree with it before, but now he has to.

For the sake of profit, Morey is really merciless, does not keep his promises, and has no principles.

The NBA is a business.

Someone also remembered this sentence tonight.

Li Lei!

No matter how mature his mentality is, Li Lei feels a little sad at this moment.

The weather is very hot, but I still feel chill.

It's nothing to be traded after the draft.

But Dawson promised him, Yao Ming also promised Su Qun that Coach Xiaofan had hinted not long ago...

This made Li Lei think that he would definitely become a mosaic person and fight for the mosaic team for four years, or even for a lifetime.

But now... I've been traded, and I'm still a big deal.

It’s like you go to a convenience store to buy cigarettes, the boss doesn’t have change, so he gives a lighter to get the cash.

Li Lei is the lighter.

Spoelstra seemed to feel the thought of the young man in front of him, patted him on the shoulder and said, "The day you tried in Miami, Teacher Riley said he wanted to get you."
Chapter completed!
