Anji's life is not easy now. In addition to being careful in budgeting, he also has to consider whether the players he is going to recruit can be integrated with the team, and the salary requirements of those guys.

Just because Goodwin's agents don't need too much US dollars to pave the way. By the way, players who can get more than 20 million in annual salary will rarely go for money at the end of their career.

They just hope that when they are about to leave the league, they can have a decent ending in addition to getting enough coffin books. Wearing the championship ring is the best ending.

Otherwise, like Malone, Payton, and Barkley, they would rather not have a big contract than tie a few partners with great strength to get a championship before leaving everyone's sight.

However, some people seem to be destined to miss the championship all their lives. For example, Malone finally got the Lakers to get a F4 out, but they were beaten up by the Pistons with an old punch.

Payton's luck would be better. He didn't get into the championship ring in the Lakers and made up for his regret in Miami.

Although Payton has long lost his courage as he used to be, he has obtained a championship ring at the end of his career, which is much better than Ma Long's sad ending.

Now there are only veterans who can attack Anji. After all, few of them are willing to play supporting roles with low wages.

Only veterans can pay their salaries and pay for their lives just for the championship ring. Although Angie doesn't know what Goodwin can talk to his agent, that guy is just a big fish.

Although he is a little older, he can still control his score at 12 points per game and has five or six rebounds.

If an insider of this level can be handled with a veteran clause, Anji definitely thinks it is a very worthwhile deal, and he is confident that he can keep this guy.

He had some news about this great purge at the beginning. After all, the secret of NBA can't be hidden for long. Even though the other party rarely says anything publicly, some rumor can always be leaked out inadvertently.

But Anji didn't expect this guy to fall into his hands. After all, he could understand the thoughts of these veterans. It is said that the Pistons did have contact with the opponent, and there was only one condition, that was the temptation of the championship.

Although the Celtics are gradually recovering and their competitiveness in the Atlantic region is gradually increasing, Anji is still not sure about competing with the Pistons.

After all, the Pistons' record in recent years is obvious to all. His conversation with Goodwin in the cafe is at most a stalemate. In terms of strength, the opponent is indeed stronger than the Celtics.

However, Angie was not all about scenes. Rivers once told him privately that the Pistons are now sliding from the top, which is the truth that prosperity will lead to decline.

Originally, they made it to the finals twice, but if they hadn't met the Spurs who were as tough as them, they might have won another championship, but these guys were indeed a little unlucky.

Moreover, after they changed coaches, Larry Brown's tight tactical system began to gradually collapse, and Sanders was definitely not as rigorous as his predecessor.

The most important thing is the change in the entire lineup. Wallace may be missing, but with that, the Pistons' defensive cornerstone completely disappeared.

If you want Rashid to command everyone to defend, there is basically no hope. He is not "Big Ben" and does not have that strong sense of defense, so the Pistons' style of playing is changing.

However, they have a championship team and can still hold on for one or two seasons, but the hope of entering the finals again or winning the championship is gradually shrinking.

Not only Rivers sees this, but Auerbach's experienced vision has long been seen. The East is playing so chaotic now. Although the Pistons are the top spot, their advantage is not obvious.

Especially when they were fighting against the Western Conference's strong men, the Pistons played in nearly twenty games, and they only got 55. They even lost to the Clippers who were outside the Western Conference's tenth place.

Anji dared to seduce Goodwin's agent so blatantly just now, relying on the energetic spirit of the Celtics, young people are always better than old people.

Moreover, what Goodwin said gave Anji a little more confidence. The other party specifically mentioned Chen Feng, which probably made the old guy a little interested because of that face-to-face confrontation.

If there is such a relationship, Anji at least doesn't think he will lose to other competitors. Apart from the Pistons, he may have to pray to God now. I hope Chen Feng is attractive enough.

However, after temporarily finalizing such a person, Anji's journey was not very smooth. He had just arrived at the downtown of Alhambra in Los Angeles in a miserable way, but was very unlucky and lost.

"Ah? That guy didn't stay in his factory and ran out to play yachts again? What? He went to Lake Michigan? God! Did you let this guy get so idle after resting for a year at home!"

Standing next to the iconic black Hummer H3 off-road vehicle at the factory entrance, Anji was really a little sad.

"Louise Michigan, uh, would I tell the team, go rent a yacht now and chase the crazy man who is not very reliable at all? Yes, I'm really asking for trouble myself!"

Anji never expected that he would be idle because he had already greeted the other party's agent before coming, but he forgot that guy was never a good person who followed the rules.

Fortunately, it was in Los Angeles after all. In addition to this goal, Angie also had a place to go, the Celtics' mortal enemy has an opportunity to poach.

But the price was a little too high. At least Anji hadn't figured out how many chips he could take out to talk to the other party. He was also a cunning guy, but the price was not cheap.

As for the guy who drove around in a yacht when he was fine, Angie had to wait for him to come back now. I hope this guy won't have too much fun in Lake Michigan.

If all these three transactions can be settled, Angie can have an explanation to Rivers, but if he gets three old guys, I don’t know if it can meet his requirements.

Generally, teams focus on the direction of investment in the future, but now Anji has to focus on the present. The Celtics are not short of novices like Rondo and Chen Feng, but they have some shortcomings in their experience.

Rivers also said that when it comes to the opponent, the Celtics often cannot hold back their positions. This is because of lack of experience. They have a sense of motivation, but lack players who can stabilize the situation.

Ratliff and Ogvokandy are old ball gangsters, but they are not particularly successful in the NBA, and they are not very motivated now. It is basically impossible to rely on them to pass on and lead.

Apart from these two old guys, the rest of the group did not have any rich playoff experience. Perhaps Pierce was a little bit a bit, such as West, Jefferson, and Tony Allen.

Not to mention Chen Feng and Rondo, the Celtics are not short of talent now, but the shortcomings in experience cannot be honed in a day or two. There must be a few old guys who have to bring them.

There is an old man in the family, like a treasure, but now the Celtics don't have this treasure. Angie dares to focus on the veterans in order to find a few such experienced old monsters for Rivers.

But then again, the few he found are really at the level of the old demon. In terms of experience, several people have been struggling in the playoffs for more than ten years, and there is an old guy with two championship rings.

Anyway, these three old monsters are considered long-standing figures. It is indeed a bit difficult for ordinary people to curb them, and Anji doesn't need them to play a 48-minute game.

If it were a charge, there would naturally be Chen Feng's small animals to complete it. However, when the team needed to stabilize the situation, these old monsters had to stand up and guide the little guys on the court for Rivers.

This is to find a Dinghai Shenjian, and it is also to find a master for the younger generation in the team. The experience of the court has to be taught by example by example from the game.

However, in addition to these three, Angie first arranged one in Houston before coming to Los Angeles.

"The pitcher outside the three-point line has been settled for the time being, but that guy is still a novice. I hope he can perform normally in college shooting accuracy. If he can have that touch, the deal will be worth it."

Angie doesn't think he will lose much if he uses a small forward who is on the bench on the Celtics to get a rookie in Houston who is ready to be transferred to the Development League.

Moreover, Houston does think that he is not satisfied with his draft results. Instead of being transferred to the Development League, it is better to change a successful player who can play on the court.

Ryan Gomez is average at the same level, but it is much better than a novice who has not experienced the NBA training. The two sides hit it off. Two days later, the Celtics returned to Boston and they will see a novice report.

"Houston may not give you enough phones, but Boston can do it. Here we need a shooter who can find space on the perimeter and has a certain range of firepower."

Anji used a promise without any credibility on the phone to fool the little guy who had just entered the NBA.

The managers of both teams have already finalized things, and if the players nodded themselves, no one would object.

If you can hook up with three old people and then play such a small person, if you can handle it, Anji's attack this time will be accomplished.

While the Celtics were still struggling on their away trip, Anji, who was busy, had already thrown his big net around. As for how many he could get in the end, he was really unsure.

If all these old guys were brought to the tent, Ah Ji found that Boston, a place that has always been disciplined, was really going to develop into a bandit den.

If you meet such a few old monsters, you can't help but be so stingy when you meet Chen Feng, God, the North Bank Garden Arena in the future may be a smoky scene...

(The hospital is a little busy today, so I will make up for one more chapter tomorrow...)
