The next morning, Lin Yu appeared in Unseld's office. He was going to find a way to sell Campbell to Unseld.
"It's difficult. I definitely don't have to think about it here in the East. No team will want Campbell."
"There is a slight chance in the Western Conference. After all, there are too many powerful insiders in the Western Conference. A meat shield center like Campbell can still play a role."
Unseld said with a sigh.
He doesn't want to get rid of Campbell's contract, but it's too difficult. It doesn't mean he can succeed by showing off his old face.
"Okay, you wait here, I'll make a few calls and ask those old guys in the west to see if they are interested."
Lin Yu nodded and sat aside patiently, waiting patiently.
"Hey, dear Rudy, I'm here to bring you some warmth."
"What? The combined annual salary of Barkley and Willis is only four million? Can that be the same? Campbell is young after all."
"Don't hang up the phone, Rudy, let's talk it over."
Unseld first called Tang Shuai from the Rockets, but he didn't expect that Tang Shuai would not be fooled by him.
"Hey, dear Donnie, there's a good deal here, do you want to hear about it?"
"What? Bradley, the highest-paid player on your team, only has an annual salary of 5 million?"
Unseld's second call to Mavericks was obviously to no avail.
"Kevin, do you want Elden Campbell? If so, I will send it to you now."
Unseld turned his attention to Kevin McHale, the man at the helm of the Forest.
This time he chatted with McHale for a long time, and hope rose in Lin Yu's heart.
"Damn, this Gibbon wants to trade Roberts and Mitchell Williams for Campbell, why doesn't he grab it?"
Roberts and Williams, as Unseld said, both have junk contracts in the Timberwolves, and their combined annual salary is almost 7 million.
However, although they are all cancer contracts, Campbell is still capable. If he can start, he will be able to average about 13 points and 8 rebounds per game.
And Roberts, with an annual salary of four million, is not as good as Harvey before he woke up last season.
As for Mitchell Williams, it's even more outrageous. His annual salary of three million US dollars is higher than Pippen, and he averages 2 points and 0.6 rebounds per game.
Lin Yu couldn't wait to agree to the Timberwolves immediately, no matter what players he got in exchange, as long as he could sell Campbell.
Anyway, Campbell is in the Wizards, and he doesn't need it. No matter how rubbish the players are, it will not have any impact on the Wizards' combat effectiveness.
"You don't really want to trade with that Gibbon, do you? I advise you to give up."
"Believe me, as long as you agree to him, he will immediately make new demands, and at least he will steal another draft pick from us."
"I know this white ape all too well."
Unseld complained crazily about McHale, because McHale's wingspan is extremely amazing, so he does have the nickname Gibbon.
But usually no one yells at him. McHale's status is quite high. If someone hears someone scolding him like this, he will definitely not let it go.
And offending McHale is equivalent to offending a lot of people in the Green Kai Gang, including Bird, Chief Parish, Chris Ford, McAdoo, JOJO White...
"Just wait, I'll ask each team in the Western Conference one by one."
After that, Unseld continued to pick up the phone and get busy.
Lin Yu shrugged. If no other player is willing to take over for Campbell, it seems that he can only trade with Gibbons.
Anyway, Lin Yu will definitely get Campbell's charm value.
After waiting for about an hour, finally a second team was willing to talk to Unseld, at least they didn't hang up the phone on him.
After waiting for another ten minutes, Unseld hung up the phone and cursed angrily.
"Damn pretty boy, that's why I hate pretty boys!"
Lin Yu was speechless. Kings general manager Jeff Petrie is indeed handsome, but he can't be called a pretty boy, right?
Petrie's career was very short, he only played for five or six years. However, his popularity at the time was frightening. His height of 193 centimeters was not too tall, and his handsome face attracted countless female fans to the game.
Even without Petrie, there might not be a Nike company. The most popular sneakers of that era were Converse, and it was Petrie who led the Nike trend.
"So what price did he offer?" Lin Yu asked curiously.
"He wanted Stephen Jackson and Campbell, and then sent Lionel Simmons, Bobby Hurley and the Serbian kid they drafted in 1996."
"Of course I support the replacement of Simmons and Hurley. After all, the contracts of these two goods are only for this year. We have taken a big advantage."
"But Stephen replaces that Serbian kid? Only fools do it. The coach of any team in the league knows that as long as Stephen is given enough playing time, he can average at least 25 points per game."
Unseld was very angry. In his opinion, Petrie was making a fool of himself by making this request.
The white Serbian kid with the 14th overall pick in 1996 was not even a lottery pick. The key is that he didn't know when he would be able to report to the NBA. How could Unseld be happy?
Lin Yu's pupils dilated, he grabbed Unseld's hand and asked quickly: "Serbian boy, is this Peja?"
"Peja Stojakovic, is that him?"
Unseld nodded, "How can I remember such a strange name, but it should be him. There are no other Serb players in the King."
Lin Yu directly slapped the table and said happily: "Promise them, you must promise them!"
"We made a lot of money from this deal, Wes, and I'm not exaggerating to tell you that this deal is enough for you to win the honor of General Manager of the Year in the future."
I don't blame Lin Yu for losing his temper, but being able to trade Wu Sheng to Peja is really a good deal.
Wu Sheng is very strong, but he is a quasi-All-Star after all, but Peja is different. He is a real All-Star player, and was even selected as the best second-team forward in 2004!
The first-team forwards that year were Duncan and Garnett, the second-team forwards were O'Brien and Peja, and the third-team forwards were Nowitzki and Artest.
It is equivalent to saying that Peja can even beat Nowitzki in his peak period!
In addition, Peja is definitely more suitable for the Wizards' lineup system. Wu Sheng and Rose are simply carved from the same mold. Their attributes are very different, their playing styles are also very similar, and their combat power is similar. At most, Wu Sheng can More passing and control ability than Rose.
And Peja is a historical marksman. No matter which historical marksman ranking, Peja's name will definitely be found in it.
He is different from a marksman like the leg brother. Peja has the ability to attack alone. With his height of 206 centimeters in the fourth position, he can play in the third position or even the second position.
Lin Yu has been targeting the Bulls' lineup. In his opinion, Peja can match the Bulls' Europa magician Kukoc.
Even much better than Kukoc, after all, Peja's offensive firepower is stronger and more stable.
Very few marksmen would use the word "stable" to describe them. Most marksmen are miraculous. To put it bluntly, they are a bit of a mental knife. But Peja is different. He is a scalpel in the hands of a miracle doctor, extremely stable. Stable again.
Unseld was startled, "Is this white boy really that good?"
"Last time you said Nash was very strong, but what next? He's so strong that he's so weak that you can't even see it."
Lin Yu shook his head repeatedly, "No, Peja is different. As soon as he enters the league, he will immediately become a member of the 180 Club!"
"And Nash isn't weak, he just needs a little time to grow."
Unseld was even more puzzled and asked with confusion: "Have you been to Serbia? How do you know this guy is so good?"
"And what is the 180 Club? This guy is only 180 centimeters tall?"
No wonder Unseld is wondering, there are actually only three members of the 180 Club right now, namely Larry Bird and Mark Price in the 1980s, and Reggie Miller in the early decades.
With such a small number of people, naturally it cannot be called a club.
There are actually two opinions on the 180 club. One is that they must average 50 field goal percentage per game, 40 three-point field goal percentage, and 90 free throw shooting percentage, which adds up to exactly 180.
The other is that the three hit rates are added together to reach 180, which can also be regarded as a member of the 180 club, but the second type is not highly recognized.
Nash is a member of the 180 club, and he has achieved this kind of data in four seasons, ranking first in history. The second-ranked player is Bird, who only played twice.
In Peja's peak season, he averaged 48 field goals per game, 43.3% from three-point range, and 92.7% from free throws. According to the second algorithm, he is actually a member of the 180 Club.
In addition, although Peja participated in the draft in 1996, the player's rookie season is not based on the draft year, but based on his formal contract signing.
To be precise, the trade between the Wizards and the Kings was not about Peja, but Peja's signing rights. Now the Kings have not signed a contract with Peja.
This means that as long as Peja can enter the league, the peak halo will be effective on him, and Lin Yu will be able to get a 180 club member who averages 24 points per game!
Isn’t this the martial arts holy incense?
"I'm really afraid that you kid can always find my destiny, so why don't you make a deal with the king?"
Unseld already won the Manager of the Year award last season, and he wants another one.
Moreover, during this period of time, Lin Yu made every large-scale transaction a profit, and Unseld really had no reason to reject Lin Yu.
Last season, under the instigation of Lin Yu, Unseld traded Chaney for Mashburn, and used Muresan to trade Jaylen Rose and Antonio Davis. These two transactions made him the annual Best manager.
Tracy McGrady, who was acquired in the Davis trade this season, is simply invincible. The outside world would not even say that he is Jordan's successor. He is just another Jordan.
And Kobe, who was acquired through the trade with Uncle Huo, currently leads the league in assists. His offense is also extremely sharp and his key popularity is extremely high. He has boosted the basketball market in Washington and is absolutely making huge profits.
Unseld simply ignored the two small transactions between O'Neill and Nash, and he didn't pay any decent chips anyway.
Now another blockbuster deal has come. Lin Yu said it can be done. Unseld had a hunch that he might make money again this time.
…
Unseld immediately called back the pretty boy Petrie. He wanted to complete the transaction as soon as possible before Lin Yu led the team to play away.
Both teams felt like they were getting rich, so the deal was sealed immediately without any ink.
The Kings are very happy. Campbell is not without any fighting ability. The Kings lack everything except salary space.
Richmond's contract was very cheap, only three million US dollars a year, and then the contracts of Simmons and Hurley were cleared, and the Kings easily acquired Campbell.
This is not the most important thing. What Petrie really values is Wu Sheng Jackson. It may be a bit exaggerated to say that he averages 25 points per game, but he averages 20 points, 5 rebounds and 5 assists per game. With Wu Sheng's performance so far this season, he can definitely do it. .
Even on the bench now, Wu Sheng averages 13 points, 3 rebounds and 3 assists per game.
The key is that he is still a rookie, and not yet an older rookie. He is just 19 years old and has only attended Butler Community College for one year.
This is so delicious, young and ready to fight.
Naturally, Lin Yu felt that he had gained blood. That was Peja, the forward of the second team. Under normal circumstances, not to mention one martial saint, two martial saints might not be able to replace him.
As soon as the transaction between the two parties was finalized, it was reported to the league that afternoon, and then the league issued a transaction announcement.
The moment the transaction was announced, Lin Yu's special favorability task for Campbell was also completed.
The original charm value of 25 points has increased to 26 points.
Originally, Lin Yu thought that the matter was over, but the system prompts did not stop at all.
"Congratulations to the host, for gathering the five strongest players in each position of the 96 Golden Generation and receiving the permanent halo "Golden Five"."
""Golden Five": The five strongest players in each position of the 1996 golden generation. When training on the same court, the training effect will be increased by 10 times!"
Lin Yu was stunned, is this okay?
There was never even a concept like the Five Elites of 1996 in his memory. The strongest players in the five positions of the 1996 generation?
As for the center position, the powerful centers of the 1996 generation include Big Z Ilgauskas, Camby, Dampier, the second center in the West, and Ben!
In such a comparison, Ben is indeed the strongest center of the 1996 generation.
At the power forward position, the standouts include Raheem, Fatty Walker and O'Brien.
Many people think of Walker as a small forward. In fact, he is a serious power forward, but he prefers to float outside and shoot.
Raheem is a poor man's Webb, and he's also a power forward.
Obviously O'Brien is the most accomplished of the three, and the second-team forward is no joke.
Then for the small forward position, there is no competition, and there is only one Peja who can succeed.
There are many talented players at the shooting guard position, but Kobe is definitely the strongest shooting guard in this class, and there cannot be any controversy.
Finally, there is the point guard position, which Lin Yu did not expect.
In terms of historical status, Iverson has one less regular season MVP than Nash, but he has many more other honors than Nash. He has four scoring titles and three steals titles. Those are not for nothing.
And Iverson led the team to the finals, but Nash has never played in the finals in his career.
Therefore, when generally evaluating the historical status of these two people, Iverson is higher.
Now the system says that Lin Yu has assembled the strongest players in each position, which obviously counts Iverson as a shooting guard. After all, Iverson is indeed a shooting guard in the eyes of most fans.
As a shooting guard, compared with Kobe, Iverson's historical status is definitely not as good.
Lin Yu couldn't laugh or cry, what is this? He had accomplished such a feat unknowingly. This was the golden generation of 1996, and all the strongest players in the five positions were under his command.
What an unexpected surprise!
An absolute surprise!
The effect of "The Golden Five" is also extremely amazing. It can actually increase the training effect ten times. Doesn't it mean that Xiao Ao and Nash can also become talented quickly?
Lin Yu was very excited. If these two people became talented, and then the Wizards added Peja, a sharpshooter, Lin Yu wouldn't even know how to lose!
