Chapter 2038 Picked up a leak! Zach Randolph!
Han Ning looked at the news content in front of him and felt a little confused.
This incident should have happened in April this year.
But I don’t know why it happened now.
Maybe it's because he's a little butterfly.
Originally, in April, a violent incident would occur within the Trail Blazers team.
Zach Randolph got into a fight with Trail Blazers teammate Ruben Patterson in practice.
But now, Zach Randolph got into a fight with Trail Blazers teammate Ruben Patterson in a bar.
Although only time has changed.
However, the consequences are completely different!
The Trail Blazers have just changed managers. Steve Patterson and John Nash are reorganizing the team's image after taking office. They have just compiled and announced the "25 Guarantees" that all Trail Blazers members must abide by.
".
At this juncture, a violent incident occurred between Zach Randolph and Reuben Patterson.
Everyone in the league is waiting to see the Trail Blazers joke!
If you find a way to trade at this time, it is definitely the best opportunity!
If the troublemakers are not traded away, the Trail Blazers will have to punish them.
Once a player is punished, there will be conflicts with the team.
When the player and the team are at odds with each other, the transaction will be much simpler.
Thinking of this, Han Ning stood up again and walked to Thomas' office.
Looking at Han Ning who turned back again, Thomas couldn't help but roll his eyes inwardly.
Han Ning didn't care so much and said directly: "Thomas, I need you to contact the Trail Blazers."
Thomas was stunned for a moment, then came to his senses and asked: "Who are you going to trade?!"
Han Ning smiled and said: "Zach Randolph!"
Just kidding, this is a center who will break out from this season and enter the All-Star lineup twice in the future!
As long as he can be included in the bag now, it will definitely greatly enhance the strength of the Knicks!
The most important thing is that Zach Randolph can play both the 4th and 5th positions.
Han Ning can even let him start as a starter and partner with Dayao!
This is an absolute immediate player.
And he only played as a substitute for the Trail Blazers last season.
And in the playoffs, because the Rockets were ranked second, the Kings, who were originally ranked second, were ranked third.
Defeated the Trail Blazers in the first round.
Therefore, the Trail Blazers did not have a fierce battle with the Mavericks for seven games as in the original historical process.
Therefore, Zach Randolph had no chance to serve as the starter in that series.
In other words, the Trail Blazers' head coach and managers have not discovered that Zach Randolph is strong enough to be the starter!
This is excellent news for Han Ning and the Knicks!
However, Thomas frowned after hearing Han Ning say this name.
Just broke up the team and brought back a bad boy?!
If there was trouble in the locker room later, wouldn't it be even more doomed?!
But Thomas didn't care about this.
It's not like he's responsible anyway.
I picked up the phone directly and dialed the number.
"Jingle bell."
"Hello?! Mr. Steve Patterson, I'm Thomas from the Knicks." Thomas said as he turned on the speakerphone and turned his attention to Han Ning.
Han Ning nodded and motioned for him to continue.
Thomas then said: "I heard that the Trail Blazers have been in some trouble recently and want to make a deal with you."
Steve Patterson frowned after hearing Thomas' words.
Indeed, the team encountered a lot of trouble.
He had just announced the "25 guarantees" when violence broke out.
This is very bad for Steve Patterson, who just took over.
It was a big blow to his authority.
But when Thomas said this, he probably wanted to trade one of the people involved in this violent incident.
"Mr. Thomas, let's be honest, who do you want to trade?!"
"Zach Randolph."
After hearing the name, Steve Patterson's eyes flashed with disgust.
He hates Zach Randolph.
This violent incident actually has little to do with Zach Randolph.
It was Reuben Patterson who got into an argument with teammate Quintel Woods in the bar, and Zach Randolph stepped forward and made a move.
In other words, the two of them were quarreling before he stepped forward and punched them.
This led to Steve Patterson being slapped in the face.
In addition, the current Zach Randolph has not performed particularly well, and his statistics look like he is just a decent substitute player.
This makes it even more unbearable for Steve Patterson.
He immediately said: "What chips are you going to use to trade?!"
After hearing Steve Patterson's answer, Han Ning's eyes suddenly lit up.
He didn't expect that Steve Patterson would agree so simply.
This was somewhat beyond his expectation.
Thomas was looking at him, as if he was asking who he wanted to trade with.
Han Ning stretched out his hand and clicked on the Knicks' roster.
Thomas understood immediately and said, "How about Howard Eisley?!"
After saying the name, Thomas suddenly reacted.
Howard Eisley was the Knicks' starting point guard last season, averaging 9.1 points and 5.4 assists per game!
Take such an experienced player and replace him with a bad boy who is still on the bench?!
Thomas has a new lower limit estimate for the team's performance in the new season.
After Steve Patterson heard this, he began to think.
He had no doubts about the Knicks' proposed trade.
After all, after several transactions, the current Knicks are really short of people in the paint.
As for the guard position, after having Allen Iverson, Howard Eisley does not seem so important.
This deal was doable in his eyes.
But in the eyes of businessmen, buying and selling without negotiating the price is a loss.
What's more, it's a deal with the Knicks, the team that took advantage of them.
If you don’t make more points, wouldn’t it be a waste?!
Steve Patterson pretended to hesitate for a while and then said: "It's not enough, I have to increase the price."
Han Ning thought for a while before writing it down on paper.
"Five million dollars."
After Thomas saw it, he slowly said: "Add up to three million U.S. dollars at most. This is the final offer, Mr. Steve Patterson."
"More."
............
After some wrangling between the two, the deal was quickly finalized.
The Knicks acquired Zach Randolph in exchange for Howard Eisley and $5 million.
The Trail Blazers feel like they've made a huge profit from this deal.
He got rid of a problem and got back an experienced player and five million in cash.
And Han Ning also felt that it was a waste of money.
This little bargaining chip, in exchange for a future All-Star player, is still an immediate fighting force!
Thomas was the only one, looking at Han Ning's back happily leaving, and cursed secretly in his heart.
Chapter completed!
