When Larry Brown heard that Rasheed Wallace had been traded to the Hawks, he was so excited that he had a senior disco in the living room at home.

On the Trail Blazers side, Paul Allen, the big money maker, did not give Larry Brown face. But on the Atlanta Hawks side, the Hawks' new general manager, Billy Knight, was an old acquaintance of Larry Brown.

When Billy Knight was still a player, he played under Larry Brown, and the two had a good relationship.

Let's put it this way, Billy didn't invite Larry Brown when he got married. Think about the relationship.

Therefore, Larry Brown decided to officially launch the pursuit of Rasheed Wallace.

There was nothing Billy Knight could say that wouldn't make things easier for his old friend.

Having been waiting for more than half a season, Larry Brown has already gone crazy thinking about Rasheed Wallace.

He longed for Rasheed like an old pervert longed for his twin sisters.

That's almost like a dream.

The day after Rasheed Wallace was traded to the Hawks, Larry Brown went to Dumars' office.

He shared his next plans with Dumas.

"Next, I will take the lead in organizing a three-party transaction to chase Rasheed Wallace!"

When he heard Larry Brown say this, Dumas was not interested at all.

Why are you painting cakes for me? From the summer of 2003 to the spring of 2004!

This is not the spring for the cattle herding class, this is the spring for the old pigeons.

Just ask directly whether you can bring Rasheed Wallace over.

If not, we will dispatch the police directly and treat it as a fraud.

Seeing that Dumas didn't believe it, Larry Brown explained his plan in detail.

He planned to send Bob Sura and a first-round pick traded from the Bucks to the Hawks, while also sending Lynch Hunter, Atkins and a first-round pick of the Pistons to the Kays.

Celtic people.

Finally, the Pistons will acquire Rasheed Wallace from the Hawks.

Moreover, Larry Brown has already made an agreement with the Celtics. After Lynch Hunter, a defender with extremely strong defensive ability, leaves, the Celtics will immediately waive him.

When the time comes, the Pistons will immediately re-sign him.

This amount is equivalent to the Pistons being able to acquire an All-Star forward at a very low cost without moving the main rotation!

Dumas was delighted when he heard this.

Whoring Rasheed Wallace for free? You are so serious about your plan.

You are like Kenny sitting in a convertible, you are so imaginative!

Why don't you get O'Neal for free?

It's said to be free prostitution, but in fact, in addition to Larry Brown's personal relationship, the Eagles also received a lot of benefits.

Over the years, the Hawks have formed a combination of free throw king Raheem and shot blocking king Ratliff.

I originally thought that this inside combination of getting one cover for free would just complement each other and achieve the effect of great harmony between heaven and earth.

As a result, harmony came and went, and the Hawks couldn't even make the playoffs.

Forget about the poor record, Ratliff and Raheem are not cheap.

This season, Raheem will get 13.5 million, and Ratliff will get 10.16 million.

Although the Hawks are not even close to the playoffs, their salary is in the top half of the league.

The Pistons won the championship last season and didn't spend as much money as the Hawks.

Therefore, the original intention of the Hawks' series of operations is to get rid of these high-paid players while rebuilding.

In the first step, the Hawks have basically achieved their goal by trading Rasheed Wallace from the Trail Blazers.

Because Rasheed Wallace's contract expires in the summer of 2004, the Hawks will be relieved by then.

In this second step, the Hawks are draining the last bit of value out of Rasheed Wallace.

The Trail Blazers couldn't sell Rasheed for a long time this season, and it's not without reason.

Because Rashid's contract will expire in the summer of 2004, the longer it is delayed, the lower Rashid's transaction value will be.

Because if you trade him, you will only have the right to use Rashid for half a season at most.

Many teams would rather not trade and wait for naked signings in the summer.

Therefore, after the Eagles got Rashid, they didn't expect Rasheed to be able to take action at first.

No one would fight for Rasheed's half-season rights.

Unless that person is mentally ill.

But Eagles general manager Billy Knight would never have imagined that someone is really mentally ill!

He had just traded Tianzun over when he received a call from Larry Brown.

"Brother Billy, do you think you can sell Rasheed to me based on our relationship?"

Billy Knight was dumbfounded at the time. Rasheed's contract only had half a season left, and someone actually made an inquiry?

So he agreed as soon as he slapped his thigh. Don't care what price the Pistons could offer. Even if he only offered a draft pick, the Hawks would still make money.

Because if there is no transaction, the Eagles will get nothing by the time Tianzun slaps his butt and leaves this summer.

Now you can sell it for one point.

So, on the phone, when Larry Brown was still telling Billy Knight about their friendship back then, Billy Knight agreed very readily:

"Don't say anything about this big injustice, ah no, I mean, don't say anything, big brother. With your intelligence, ah no, I mean just the relationship between the two of us, I can't afford to lose my pants."

Yes, Rashid, I must trade it to you too!

Which of us is cheating the other!"

However, perhaps because of his conscience, Billy Knight reminded Larry Brown: "But Rasheed Wallace's contract only has half a season left."

Larry Brown smiled slightly: "It's okay, the length of time for this kind of colored transaction depends on the individual's ability. It's okay, brother, I'm sure of it!"

Billy Knight was grinning from ear to ear. You can't stop the evildoer from coming to your door!

After it was over, Larry Brown showed off to Dumars: "Did you see it? I've said it before, if you want to be successful in the NBA, you have to be smart about the world! Oh, forget it, you can't tell me this kind of thing.

don't know."

This is typical: after being sold, you still count the money for others.

Billy Knight regarded him as his enemy, and he thought he was relying on face.

Of course, Larry Brown also knows that Rasheed Wallace only has half a season left on his contract. He also knows that if he spends a lot of time to trade Rasheed, he may just leave in the summer.

Already.

But there's nothing he can do about it.

Now the Pistons only lack one person, so they have to try even if they lose money.

Let's put it this way, Larry Brown has never thought about the Pistons' future.

He just wants to use the Pistons' foundation of having already won a championship to win a championship for himself.

If it doesn't work, he will run away.

Larry Brown has been very close to the Knicks recently. The Knicks have just experienced the glory of the 1990s and are not as flat as they will be in the future. Therefore, they very much hope to get back on their feet.

Since there is nothing more that can be done about the players, let’s start with the coaches.

The Knicks have prepared a contract for Larry Brown with a total value of about 50 million.

This kind of salary is already considered a sky-high contract for coaches.

How could Larry Brown refuse this temptation?

Therefore, he is now leading the Pistons to the championship while having private meetings with the Knicks.

Larry Brown does this kind of thing with ease.

In short, Brown is definitely not the kind of person who would consider the future of the Pistons.

All he cares about is the present.

In other words, only myself.

If it weren't for defeating Leon, he wouldn't have come to Detroit.

Ever since, the transaction happened.

After Rasheed Wallace was traded to the Hawks, he only played one game and scored 20 points, 6 rebounds and 5 blocks. Then he was sent to the Detroit Pistons in a three-party trade.

In the Hawks, he left an abnormal data of 5 blocks per game.

At that moment, the whole world was shocked.

Rasheed Wallace joining the Pistons is undoubtedly a great addition to the Pistons.
