Buford was stunned when he heard the chips Dawson was willing to pay.

Exchanging a top star like Mobley for a rookie, even if this rookie has achieved very good results in European and international competitions, is somewhat unexpected.

Buford couldn't help but fell silent.

In his heart, he is very optimistic about Ginobili. Otherwise, he would not have tried to bring Ginobili back to the team when he took office this year.

But the chip price given by Dawson is really exciting.

A star who has already proven his ability is replaced by a rookie who has just entered the NBA and played less than ten games.

No matter how you think about it, the Spurs made money from this deal!

"Mr. Dawson, are you sure you want to trade Mobley for Ginobili?!" Buford asked in disbelief.

"Of course." Dawson replied without hesitation.

Such a certain attitude made Buford a little confused.

Could it be that there was something wrong with Mobley?!

Buford thought about it carefully, and after confirming that he had not heard any news about Mobley's injuries recently, he secretly made a guess in his mind.

Maybe there was something wrong within the Rockets team, so Mobley had to be transferred?!

"Mr. Dawson, I need to think about this again." Buford did not agree to the transfer deal.

Although he was already shaken when he heard that the Rockets were willing to trade Mobley for Ginobili.

But he, who has always behaved cautiously, felt that he still needed to inquire more before making a decision.

Although he is very optimistic about Ginobili, compared with players who have averaged 20+ points per game in the NBA, Buford is not so determined.

At this time, Han Ning had just been talking to several players on the team one by one.

Kevin Cato, the Rockets' starting center last season, lost his starting position this season after Yao arrived, and he was somewhat dissatisfied.

In Han Ning's mind, Kevin Cato can only be said to be barely qualified as the starting center, and the best choice is to serve as a substitute for Dayao.

"Cato, you know the team's goal this season. We want to win the championship." Han Ning said with a serious expression.

"But if you want to win a championship, you need to pay a price. This is not an easy goal. Each of us needs to make sacrifices, do you understand what I mean?!"

After Cato heard Han Ning's words, his expression was a little unnatural.

He could understand what Han Ning meant, which was to make him feel at ease as a substitute.

For a player who has already played in the starting position, it is difficult to overcome the psychological difficulty of letting him continue to play as a substitute in his prime.

Han Ning saw the expression on Cato's face and understood what he was thinking.

However, Cato did not refuse as decisively as Mobley did before, which shows that the championship is still very attractive to him, and things are still turning around.

"Cato, Dayao's physical strength is not enough to support him playing more than thirty minutes on the court. 25 minutes is Dayao's best playing time limit, so although you are a substitute, your playing time in each game

It’s not a lot, and you can still produce good data and contribute to the pursuit of the championship.”

"As long as we win the championship, everything will be worth it, right?!"

Han Ning's words completely moved Cato.

Dayao's physical strength is indeed a problem. Only with 25 minutes of playing time in each game can he ensure maximum efficiency.

If Han Ning really compresses Dayao's playing time to about 25 minutes, then he will definitely get a lot of playing time!

And, as long as we can win the championship, it will all be worth it!

Cato lowered his head and thought for a moment, then raised his head and said with a smile: "Boss, I want a championship, whether as a substitute or a starter. I want that ring!"

When Han Ning heard this, a smile appeared on his face.

As long as Kevin Cato is convinced, everything will be easy for the rest of the players.

Maurice Taylor is the team's backup power forward and will not compete for the starting position.

Backup small forward Glen Rice has entered the end of his career. Another backup small forward, Posjan Nakba, and backup shooting guard Juaquin Hawkins are still rookies, so there will be no problems.

As for the other substitute players, Han Ning didn't want to keep any of them.

After talking to the players one by one, the sky was already darkening.

Han Ning picked up the phone and frowned slightly when she found that she had not received any message from Dawson.

It stands to reason that one day is enough time to discuss transfer matters with the Spurs, and there is no news at all.

Ginobili is crucial to the Rockets.

Not only can it weaken the Spurs, but it can also improve the Rockets' bench lineup to a higher level.

After thinking about it carefully, Han Ning couldn't help but call Dawson.

"Mr. Dawson, how is Ginobili's transfer going?" Han Ning asked straight to the point.

Dawson seemed a little unhappy and said in a deep voice: "The Spurs are still considering it."

Seemingly feeling that Han Ning was questioning his ability, Dawson continued: "Han, I am the general manager of the Rockets. There will definitely be no problem with the transfer. Especially if Mobley is exchanged for a rookie, there will be no problem."

If any problem arises, your focus should be on the team's skills and tactics."

After Han Ning heard Dawson's expression of dissatisfaction, he didn't say much. He just followed Dawson and said a few nice words before hanging up the phone.

From what Dawson just said, he could already hear the current problem.

It stands to reason that the Spurs should not hesitate to trade old Cat Mobley for Ginobili.

But now the Spurs have not given a clear answer.

This actually made Han Ning figure out the problem.

The Spurs cannot see the purpose and benefits of the Rockets' transaction this time! Therefore, the Spurs are somewhat afraid to agree to the transfer, fearing that there may be some problems.

In this case, we need to find a way to let the Spurs find the Rockets' purpose of doing this, right?

Generally, there are only two possibilities for a team to proactively trade away its stars.

Either they want to exchange this player for a player who is more suitable for the team or a better player.

Mobley and Ginobili occupy the same position on the court, and Mobley's ability is obvious to all.

So starting from this aspect is not very convincing.

Another possibility is that there is a conflict between the star and the team, and the team has to transfer him!

Thinking of this, a smile appeared on Han Ning's face.

Picked up the phone and sent a text message.

Who said you can only use the media and public opinion to influence other teams during transfer operations?!
