When he saw Thorne, Bruce said depressedly: "I think the team needs to trade. It's better to change stars as soon as possible. We must make the playoffs this season. Do you have any good ideas?"

Thorne was stunned for a moment and sighed: "Boss, I have studied the situation in the free market and there are no strong players. Lewen Novels | If we don't trade Jefferson, Wang Jun and Kid, we don't have attractive chips and it's impossible to get a big brand."

Bruce did not give up and covered his head and said, "Are there not one? If there is no trade, how can this lineup win next?"

Thorne really wanted to tell him, of course he couldn't win.

The core players were injured, and the team's first attack point was Eric Williams. It is hard to imagine that this is the lineup of the defending champions. The team's defense is hopelessly bad, and it usually enters garbage time in the fourth quarter.

The media mentioned the Nets and regarded them as laughing stocks.

Fortunately, Kenyon Martin played very badly with the Nuggets, averaging only 14 points and 7 rebounds per game. The Nuggets' luxury lineup started with 8 wins and 6 losses.

If Martin played well at the Nuggets and the data from the MVP in the finals, the management of the Nets would cry.

Another player who was sent away, Kittles played as a substitute in the Clippers, averaging only 6.7 points per game, which is also a scam, with an annual salary of tens of millions of yuan to play as a marginal person.

The Clippers are different from the Nets, because Brand does not arrange three-point tactics and is not suitable for Kittels at all. He himself has been resting for a summer vacation and has not practiced his football, and his condition is no longer good.

Because the Nets avoided bad contracts, Bruce was not abused and injured.

Thorne thought for a while and said seriously: "Boss, I think there are two people who may trade to the Nets, and it doesn't cost much."

"who?"

"First of all, Chris Carman of the Clippers. This big man is not valued in the Clippers, but he partnered with Wang Jun in college, can shoot mid-range shots, defend, and is a good meat shield. If he trades him to the Nets, the inside can better open up space. Kidd is good at cooperating with such players."

In Thorne's idea, Kaman partnered with Kostic. Both big men can shoot, and if Wang Jun, Jefferson and Kidd are all there, they will be like a tiger with wings, and the attacks of the five people are not bad.

With such a starting lineup, the Nets are still very competitive in the playoffs.

Kaman is unstable in the starting position of the Clippers. He averages only 8 points and 6 rebounds per game, and it doesn't cost much to exchange for it. He is very young and has great potential.

But Bruce denied it with just one sentence, and was still very angry. "Do you want Wang Jun to form a clique earlier and seize Kidd's core position? Are you still used to him enough? Or do you want to turn the Nets into a gangster? Kaman is not a calm person when he sees his appearance."

Kaman sneezed wildly and fell to his appearance again. If it weren't for his long flowing hair, sighing stubbornness, and evil facial features, he might have become the first player.

Not many fans like to watch lunatics play. Ben Wallace is an exception, but Da Ben is a defensive player, and Carman just looks like a defensive player, but in fact he has strong offense and weak defense.

Bruce asked: "Who is the other?"

"Vince Carter." Thorne explained: "In 2001, Carter renewed his 6-year, $88 million contract with the Raptors. In 2002, he underwent left knee surgery and then declined. The Raptors' record this season is not good and want to trade him, but we don't lack swingers. As long as both Wang and Richard are there, he is not needed."

Bruce pondered for a moment and slapped the table and said, "Just let him negotiate with the Raptors and try to trade him without any damage."

Thorne felt that this was the worst. "But there are already three excellent swingers in our team. Carter is here, how can Korver have a chance to play?"

Bruce shook his head and smiled, "Then I'll send away two swingers. The Raptors can't just be inside, right? Our team has enough salary space, and Carter doesn't have to pay luxury tax when he comes."

"But the ball rights are not easy to allocate. Who is the main attacker of Jefferson, Wang Jun and Carter?" Thorne still felt that it was inappropriate.

If other teams recruit Carter into the team, it is a bargain, and the Nets have great hidden dangers.

Bruce knocked on the table twice and said angrily: "Jefferson is seriously injured now. He will not be able to play in April as soon as possible. Can he recover immediately? Should we make it to the playoffs?"

Thorne sighed: "Just just to make the playoffs, I don't think it's worth doing this. If you renew your contract with Wang Jun in the summer, three high-paying swingers, plus Kidd, there will be four out of tens of millions of dollars in annual salary and are all outside."

Bruce was confident: "Isn't it a Arenas clause? Wang Jun's salary in the first two years is not high, so we can trade him for two years. Then there is no need to change anyone, you have to draft picks and cash, and you don't have to pay luxury taxes."

Thorne sighed and said nothing.

The boss knows money in his mind, so he doesn't talk about feelings. With such a boss, it will be difficult for the online team to win the championship again.

Jefferson and Carter obviously overlap in positions, and they can only exert their power by taking fast breaks and holding the ball. Could they take turns to attack with the ball?

Wang Jun is good at playing without ball, but he makes a lot of moves.

When Carter comes, he will be distracted. Wang Jun will definitely be unhappy. If Wang Jun suppresses Carter, as a few All-Stars, Carter will definitely not be happy. It would be great if they didn't fight.

From the perspective of the team's lineup, this is a very sb plan. But from the perspective of making money, Carter can indeed attract fans and may also help the team to enter the playoffs, which is excellent in combat.

When Jefferson returns, he might have to play a guest role as a power forward, otherwise the three major swingers will only play for about 30 minutes. At the latest next season, Thorne feels that they will have to be separated.

Thorne had to listen to the boss and immediately started negotiations with Raptors manager Babcock.

The two sides immediately reached a preliminary intention, but it was not certain who to exchange for it. The Raptors have no strong men in the interior except Bosh. They hope that the Nets will give out three inside players and two first-round draft picks.

In this way, no one in the nets' inside line will be available, so of course they cannot agree. Thorne's proposal is to send out two inside lines, two outside lines and one draft pick.

The two sides began to bargain. Carter's current transaction value is not very high. Other teams have contacted the Raptors and the bargaining chips given are not as good as those of the Nets.

Before the 2004-05 season started, Carter said in an interview with the Toronto Star: "It's time to announce the truth, and I hope to be exchanged and leave the team."

At the same time, he posted an open letter to fans on his personal official website, saying that he could no longer wait for the Raptors to carry out reconstruction work.

Recently, fans booed Carter at home. Everyone knew that he and the Raptors had changed from a passionate love affair that had become gritted in teeth.

The conflict between the two sides is like a barrel shot through, and no longer can be compensated or blocked. In the eyes of the fans who booed Carter, the cold data is there. So far in the new season, Carter has only averaged 15.6 points, 3.3 rebounds and 3.1 assists per game. Where did the former Flying Man go? Is he okay?

The Raptors management is afraid that when Carter's contract expires, they can't wait any longer, and they will prove that no one can't be traded.
