43. Seeking a Championship Lineup

"You mean you want the team to bring in Dwight Howard?"

Dan Ferry looked at Wu Dawei and said. His expression was a little surprised. Obviously he didn't expect Wu Dawei to mention such a person to him. Dwight Howard was the heart of the Orlando Magic. The senior executives of the Cavaliers had not previously set the target of signing on him.

But when Wu Dawei mentioned this, the Cleveland Cavaliers naturally had to consider this aspect.

"If possible!" Wu Dawei nodded. He really hoped to join forces with a powerful teammate.

Upon hearing this, Dan Ferry nodded, and understood what Wu Dawei was thinking. Of course, he could understand Wu Dawei's desire to have a strong teammate, but he was a little curious about why Wu Dawei named the person Dwight Howard.

Is he a good relationship with Howard?

This was the first thought that came to Dan Ferry's mind. This thought made Dan Ferry a little happy, because if this was the case, it was very likely that Wu Dawei's proposal was not just a simple proposal, nor was his wishful unrequited love. Perhaps... Dwight Howard also had this idea.

After saying goodbye to Wu Dawei, Dan Ferry thought about it alone, and suddenly thought that this summer, Wu Dawei and Dwight Howard were both trained under Eaton Lavender, and it is said that their relationship is extremely good!?

If this is true, then perhaps introducing Dwight Howard is not a foolish thing.

Could it be that Dwight Howard is already dissatisfied with the Orlando Magic?

This is the only reason why Howard left the Orlando Magic, which only since he entered the finals in 2009, has been getting worse in the past two years. Dwight Howard is obviously not the kind of person who is willing to participate in the finals only once and make a living.

Judging from his actions of turning to the team to strengthen after he finished the sanitation of LeBron James last season, he also had his own desire for the championship. The team introduced Vince Carter last season obviously could not satisfy Howard. Because the old UFO is no longer the UFO when he was with the Raptors and even the Nets.

Carter's average of 17 points per game last season does show the reality of Lian Po's old age.

However, although I only thought about it, the actual situation was not so smooth.

In mid-December, the league's trading and transfer market had already started, and at this time, the training camps of various teams in the league were also opened. This is a sign that the new season is coming. However, at this time, the league is still in turmoil, because Orlando media revealed that the team asked the Orlando Magic about Dwight Howard's trading plan.

Only since LeBron James left Miami last summer, many teams that have been in charge of superstars but have not had a good record have begun to worry about their future relationship with their own team's superstars.

Grouping seems to have become the mainstream choice nowadays. Although LeBron James encountered a lot of criticism and confrontation last summer, at the same time, this can be regarded as a starting point for other stars.

Although there have been many examples of stars gathering in the league before, it was not until LeBron James had such a stir this time that he really set a precedent.

However, although the Orlando media exposed this news and was quarreled for a while, the report did not explain which team was coming to contact the Magic.

And this news came extremely suddenly, because although many people had already revealed that Dwight Howard was not satisfied with the team's operation and had tactical conflicts with the team's head coach Stan Van Gundy. However, there has never been any news that Dwight Howard wanted to leave the Orlando Magic.

In addition, after the news was revealed, the Magic Team did not respond accordingly. So after people discussed for a while, no one mentioned it again.

This is somewhat of an internal news. After asking Wu Dawei for his opinion, the Cavaliers general manager Dan Ferry thought about it and repeatedly called the team boss Gilbert to discuss it. He called the Orlando Magic to ask whether they had the intention to sell the leading star Dwight Howard.

Wu Dawei never expected Dan Ferry to move so quickly. Because soon after, Wu Dawei received a call from Dwight Howard.

He came to ask Wu Dawei if Wu Dawei asked the Cavaliers to ask for the price.

"What!? You mean the Cavaliers have already contacted the Magic?"

Wu Dawei didn't expect Dan Ferry to move so quickly, although local media in Orlando reported that other teams in the league tried to contact the Magic, hoping to get Howard. But after all, Wu Dawei was in Cleveland, so he would not care about what happened in Orlando.

However, Wu Dawei agreed with this matter. If Dwight Howard could come to the Cleveland Cavaliers, it would definitely be a very good thing for Wu Dawei.

Howard's deterrence in the inside can give the Cavaliers a lot of help. Last season, the scene of Carman's influx in the Miami Heat had already made the Cavaliers benefit a lot.

"What do you think?"

Wu Dawei didn't ask the Magic's opinion because he didn't have to think about it, because he knew that the Magic would definitely not be willing to trade Dwight Howard. Not to mention that he is the number one star in the Magic. As the league's current center, Dwight Howard will go to, which team he will surely be able to become a strong team in the playoffs. With some good lineups, he can transform into a strong contender for the championship.

"To be honest, man, I haven't thought about it yet!" Howard was obviously still waiting and watching. In the past two months of getting along, Wu Dawei still knew that Dwight. Howard had a gap with the Magic.

Just as it is rumored outside, he is not satisfied with the way the team operates because the team has not brought him ideal help in the past two seasons, and the team's performance has become worse and worse with the Heat and Bulls. Now, even in the assessment of the new season, many people believe that the young Pacers have the capital to fight the Magic...

"Okay...but what I have to tell you is that I hope you can come to Cleveland! You are welcome here too!"

Since Howard does not have this intention for the time being, Wu Dawei will not force others to do anything. Although the training together over the past two months has further improved the relationship between the two. Moreover, Howard has also talked with Wu Dawei about playing basketball together many times, but if others give up everything they have and come to Cleveland alone to join him, it is obviously not a decision that can be made very easily.

Wu Dawei asked himself that it was impossible to go from Cleveland to Orlando, joining the Magic and Dwight Howard to compete in the new season...

Howard was still watching, but obviously the Cavaliers would not give up so easily. Because Dan Ferry felt that in his first contact with the Magic seniors, the other party did not refuse at all, and obviously there was room for maneuvering the deal. The most important thing was Dwight Howard's thoughts.

If a superstar takes the initiative to apply for leaving the team, it will be difficult for the team to refuse coldly. So Dan Ferry decided to talk to Wu Dawei. Since this is the candidate proposed by Wu Dawei, he must be able to help this transaction at this point.

At least he can go and talk to Howard and convince him to take the initiative to submit his application to leave the team...

The Cavaliers and Magic's proposal on Howard was not progressed for a while, so it was put on hold. However, this will not be a reason for the Cavaliers to stagnate in the free market. When signing Wu Dawei, the Cavaliers' senior executives had already promised Wu Dawei that they would create a championship lineup for him, so naturally they would not just say it.

And for the past few years, they have been pursuing a lineup that can win the championship, and they are very familiar with operating it.

As Christmas approaches, the 20112 season, which has experienced a storm of suspension, is about to kick off. The teams are still making final preparations for the new season. The Cavaliers have turned their attention even if they can't catch up with "Warcraft" Dwight Howard.

Before the season was about to kick off, they signed free agent Jason Capono in the free market, an outside shooter who was outstanding in the number three position and even won the All-Star three-pointer championship.

Capono finally chose the Cleveland Cavaliers in the pursuit of two teams, the Los Angeles Lakers and the Cleveland Cavaliers. The Lakers provided Capono with a veteran salary of $1.2 million a year, while the Cleveland Cavaliers seemed more sincere. They provided Capono with a two-year, $3.4 million mini middle-class contract.

Obviously, the Cavaliers, with more abundant salary space, will be more at ease in operation than the Lakers, which have already exceeded the luxury tax. Obviously, signing Capono will not be the Cavaliers' last deal this season
Chapter completed!
