Chapter 259

Guo Xu and agent harpy wattles met with suns owner Jerry cologne at Malibu coast club.

This is a private club that journalists can't get into. It is located in the vibrant Malibu community surrounded by the beach. It is full of sunshine, where you can enjoy eating, gathering, entertainment and relaxation, which is more suitable for business.

After introducing himself, Guo Xu understood why Jerry would find a private place to meet. He was sure to get Guo Xuzhi. If the Suns didn't improve next season, he was ready to sell the team. In 2004, the Suns not only rebuilt the team, but also changed their owners. Robert sawell bought the Suns for $401 million.

The sun in the summer to give the media a bad image, otherwise other teams will not be easy to start the price, even if the team players, it is difficult to exchange for draft rights and expired contracts.

Jerry is a basketball legend. In the Suns, his roles include general manager, coach, chairman and current boss.

It's no joke. In the 1970-71 season, Jerry, as general manager, personally served as the head coach of the suns. He built the team with Connie Hawkins as the core, who averaged 26.4 points per game to lead the Suns into the playoffs for the first time.

At present, sun's general manager, Brian Colangelo, is Jerry's son. Both father and son hope that solar energy will come back from the dead. This key figure is Guo Xu.

Their reconstruction plan is to clear the warehouse, Marbury and hadawi, and dig Guo Xu as the core of the team. He is young, powerful and popular, far from being comparable to "lone wolf" and "pennies".

Without Guo Xu's own request, the two father and son talked about the advantages of joining the sun.

The first is the six-year top salary. In terms of money, they will never treat Guo Xu badly, which is a long-term guarantee.

Phoenix was the sixth largest city in the United States in the official census of 2000. Although it was not as good as Los Angeles, New York, Boston, Chicago and Houston, it was second tier in the NBA, not inferior to Miami, Dallas, Washington and other cities.

The third is the absolute core position, Guo Xu went to be a privileged player, and the sun built the team around him.

The fourth is the right to speak within the team. If he is dissatisfied with the team's lineup, he can make suggestions to the management. If he is reasonable and can persuade everyone, the manager can consider trading players according to his ideas.

In addition to not mentioning the right to veto the transaction, Jerry was so sincere that Guo Xu couldn't think of what else he could ask for.

The sun is gambling on his future. Now he is only 21 years old, and his popularity is higher than Iverson. As long as he doesn't suffer a serious downfall, the Suns won't have to change the core for 10 years, which is attractive to all rebuilding teams.

Guo Xu didn't talk nonsense. He signed a simple agreement with Jerry directly. As long as the sun cleared the salary below the wage cap and could offer him the top salary, he would join immediately. Before that, he would not negotiate with other teams and wait for the sun.

If there was only an oral agreement, everyone was not at ease. Guo Xu was willing to sign a written agreement, and Jerry knew that 80% of the goal had been achieved. He is not afraid that he can't send out the players in the team. He is afraid that the action is too slow. Guo Xu has made a choice.

After finalizing the cooperation intention, Guo Xu waited at his home in Los Angeles, and Jerry returned to Phoenix to work with his son as soon as possible.

These things must be carried out in a state of confidentiality, even if it is a good friend, Guo Xu can not casually disclose.

If he told Shaquille O'Neal and Kobe Bryant that his plan to join the Suns would be ruined in case of two people's mouths spread through the media. As for the question of why he chose the western team afterwards, he would apologize to the fans. At most, his words didn't count. The fans would certainly forgive him.

On July 1, the NBA free market opened, and several big deals appeared immediately.

In Guo Xu's opinion, the Bulls' management was anxious to contact the walkers as if they were worried that the battle would not happen at the palace of Auburn mountain.

The Bulls packed Artest, Brad Miller and Kevin Ollie for the Pacers' Jay Ross, Norman Richardson and a two round draft.

In Guo Xu's previous life, Artest played a career peak performance in the Pacers, averaging 18.3 points, 5.3 rebounds, 3.7 assists, 2.1 steals 0.7 blocks per game in the 2003-04 season. He was selected as the all star and the defensive player of the year.

Miller had a good season with the Pacers and was a qualified starting center.

The Bulls traded in a player who was about to turn 30, had good numbers but didn't lead the team to win.

At the press conference, the Bulls manager was also very happy and thought that the team would rise next season. Jay Williams, Jason Richardson and Ross formed the outer line, and the depth of the lineup could be ranked in the league.

In fact, these three people even the ball right is not easy to distribute, rose needs to hold the ball to play, Jay is not easy to cultivate, Richardson is able to play without the ball, affected a little bit. What's worse, the Bulls' flank defense is going to be bad, and there's no Miller inside who can open up space to shoot.

The clippers and the Cavaliers have made a deal, with Darius miles and last season's assists Andre Miller swapping hosts, and the Clippers now look promising.Green's substitute forward Rodney Rogers joined the nets freely.

He is a 201cm tall power forward weighing 107 kg. He has good defense against pick and roll. His scoring mainly depends on catching and shooting. His range is beyond the three-point line. Last season, he played 27 games for the green army, with 10.7 points, 4 rebounds and 1.5 assists. The shooting percentage was 48.2%, and the three-point shooting rate was 41.1%.

Rogers is not for money, he is optimistic about the nets in the new season. In addition to Kidd and kittens, the core players are very young, the strength has a lot of room for improvement.

The nets also sent out Van Horne in order to rush for the championship, and bought veteran Mutombo from the 76ers, intending to strengthen defense.

Although Mutombo couldn't stop Shaquille O'Neal in the 2001 finals and will be 37 years old in 2003, his defensive ability is still much more reliable than Van Horne.

The management of 76ers team has strengthened the attack of the team and tried to satisfy Iverson. They made it to the finals the previous season, but they stopped in the first round this year. The bleak record of the war has thrown 76 people into chaos.

At the subsequent press conference, Iverson got angry. Later, according to statistics, in the whole interview process, Iverson said the word "training" 22 times. Such frequency is so impressive that the moving part of his expression is forgotten.

"If I get hurt, I'm really hurt. I don't pretend. If your daughter is harassed and threatened, if your family needs you to take care of yourself, will you still go to the training ground? If the injury is too serious and it may affect your career, will you still train? Is it still rare for me to play with injuries? Now I'm not well, and my heart is hurt by my own people

Iverson said the idea of "if Iverson is not absent from training, his teammates will be more awesome" is ridiculous.

Because of this press conference, the management knew that Iverson was dissatisfied with the performance of his teammates and made a big deal as soon as possible. Van Horn was also a player who had played in the finals once. They felt that they had made a lot of money by trading the old for the less.

On July 4, the Suns also clinched a big deal that shocked the league, successfully snatching the spotlight of all the teams, and various media reported in succession, because everyone felt that the sun management was crazy.
