Legendary basketball manager

"Manager, I've thought about something for a long time, and I feel I have to confess it to you."

Martin said straight to the point.

"Oh?"

Shen Fei looked puzzled.

But in his heart, he roughly guessed Martin's intentions as early as Martin walked into the door.

"I feel like...there's no room for me on the team right now."

"The head coach no longer believes in me. Even if I have a lot of enthusiasm, there is no place to display it."

"So... I want to leave!"

Martin looked at Shen Fei and said seriously.

"I can probably understand what you're thinking."

"After Roy joined, I can feel the change in your mentality."

"You're still young, you want playing time and team status, I can understand that."

Shen Fei followed Martin's words and continued.

In his heart, he did not reject the possibility of trading it.

The reason is mainly that Shen Fei does not agree with Martin's playing style.

Martin is a good player.

When your team needs a scorer who can stably output around 20 points, then he is a very good choice.

But if you want to build a championship team, Martin may not be able to do it.

He is a good shooter, but his shooting posture (crooked machine gun) is destined to make him unable to take three-pointers calmly under high-pressure defense.

And another skill that Martin relies on for survival-drawing fouls, under the principle of encouraging confrontation in the playoffs, it is even more difficult to exert its effect!

This means that Martin may shine in the regular season and even perform well in the first round of the playoffs, but the further he plays, the worse his performance will be.

It's hard to imagine how desperate Martin's expression would be when the Rockets met the Heat in the finals and Martin met Janeway.

His thin body, once encountering severe physical confrontation...

Just thinking about that picture makes me feel unbearable to look at.

But these shortcomings do not mean that Martin has no transaction value.

On the contrary, there are not many teams that want him.

Moreover, Martin's transaction value is not low.

In the original time and space, he became the main bargaining chip for the Rockets to trade Harden in 12.

At that time, the young Harden was already a super sixth man who averaged 16.8 points, 4.1 rebounds and 3.7 assists per game!

This also reflects Martin's transaction value from the side!

Moreover, he is just 27 years old this year, at the golden age of athletes.

A salary of around 1100 million is also considered a conscience price.

On the whole, if Martin enters the market, he will definitely attract the attention of many teams!

Thinking of this, Shen Fei suddenly had a bold idea!

Previously, he had been thinking about making Lawson the main bargaining chip in the trade library.

But there is a problem with this-Lawson's style of play actually overlaps with Ellis's to a certain extent!

Both of them are good at breakthroughs, need to have the ball in hand, and both outside shooting are average.

This means that the general manager of the Warriors, Larry Riley, is likely to reject the Rockets' trade proposal because of suitability issues.

But if you switch the main chip to Kevin Martin and let Lawson become the secondary chip, the deal becomes reasonable.

After all, although Curry is only in the second grade, the talent he has shown has already made people have infinite reverie.

With Lawson alone, it is really difficult to get such a talented player.

"Can I choose which team I want to go to?"

Seeing that Fei Shen didn't refuse, Martin said a little aggressively.

"Ok?"

Shen Fei was taken aback when he heard the words, and couldn't believe his ears.

"I want to go to a team that is competitive and can give me the main position!"

Martin didn't hear the displeasure in the Asian youth's tone, and continued.

"You are now in the second year of a four-year contract."

"So... where your next home is, I have the final say."

Shen Fei was too lazy to argue with the other party, and said directly.

"you..."

Martin didn't expect the usually gentle manager to say such domineering words suddenly.

As soon as these words came out, it could be said that there was no room left.

Martin was momentarily at a loss for words, not knowing how to continue the conversation.

"You want to be traded, I already understand."

"In the next period of time, you should train and train, play well when you are supposed to play, and then just wait for my notice."

"Also, before the transaction happens, don't reveal your thoughts to any media, otherwise I will let you sit on the bench in Houston for four years."

Shen Fei said seriously.

If his own players want to leave, he will forcefully keep them.

But the premise is that both parties respect each other.

Although Shen Fei's words were a bit ruthless, they were also to prevent Martin from disclosing unnecessary information to the outside world, resulting in a decrease in the value of the transaction.

"..."

Martin was a little frightened by Shen Fei's words.

Before coming here, he never expected to hear such words.

"Okay, I understand."

Martin was stunned for a long time, then came back to his senses, left a word angrily, and left the office without looking back.

Shen Fei smiled slightly, picked up the coffee on the table, and continued to drink it.

............

About half an hour later, in Shen Fei's mind, he had roughly constructed a plan for the transaction library——

With Kevin Martin and Lawson as the core, Curry, a first-round pick, and a garbage contract were obtained from the Warriors.

The rubbish contract is to balance the salaries of both parties. Who is this person, Shen Fei hasn't thought about it yet.

The first-round pick is to prepare for Klay Thompson in next year's draft.

[If all goes well, the Splash Brothers of "Cosmic Brave" will settle in Houston. ]

Shen Fei thought in his heart.

Thinking of this, the corners of his mouth can't help but rise slightly.

Of course, this is only Shen Fei's preliminary idea.

The specific transaction still needs to go through lengthy negotiations.

Just as Shen Fei was indulging in his trading fantasies, his cell phone rang suddenly.

When I took it out, it turned out to be the boss - Alexander's phone call.

"Hey boss, what can you do?"

Shen Fei was in a good mood, and greeted him in a joking tone.

"Shen, go to the headquarters immediately. I have something important to announce, and all executives will be there."

Alexander's tone was anxious.

"Okay, I'll go right away."

After finishing speaking, Shen Fei hung up the phone and drove off.

............

Half an hour later, Fei Shen arrived at the meeting room.

At this time, all the executives of the Rockets, as well as the shareholders who usually see each other in the dragon, came to the scene one after another.

"Everyone is here."

"The situation is more urgent, so I won't beat around the bush, just say it straight!"

"I've decided...to sell the Houston Rockets."

Alexander announced with a heavy tone.

As soon as his words fell, there was an uproar at the scene.

"What, Alexander, the Rockets are now on the rise, you want to give it up now?!"

An executive slapped the table and asked.
