Two golf carts drive side by side on a wide golf course. According to Gillon, it used to be a small hill, and he thought the location was good, so he bought it and converted it into a golf course.

Henson couldn't help but sigh in his heart, he thought that Giron had chartered this stadium at first, but he didn't expect that this stadium was built directly by him. Rich people are really willful. When you're in a good mood, build a golf course and have fun. But it's clear that golf is much cheaper than renewing a player.

It didn't take long for the car to reach the location where the Giron hit. He grabbed his golf club and posed as he chatted with Bird.

"You're for Al. Horford is here, and I'm very curious, Larry. What leverage do you have to think I'm willing to give you an All-Star at the age of 23. With that, Giron pulled out a beautiful shot.

"Roy. Hibbert and Troy. Murphy. Bird had a smile on his face, and he knew that Giron must have been surprised at this point, because he had been in the same mood when he first heard Henson tell him about the plan.

“Excuse me？ Are you serious, Bird. Giron looked at Bird, who was driving a golf course next to him, and perhaps the former legend of the Green Army was very fond of jokes.

"Are you kidding? No, I'm serious, Giron. Halfway through his speech, Bird stopped and played. Henson really wanted to rush out of the car and kick the golf ball away, and the big bosses talked about things so abrasively?

"Roy. Hibbert, you can ask your buddy Tander. He improved significantly last season and is even expected to become an All-Star center this season. Troy. Murphy, an all-around white interior player who averages a double-double per game, can shoot and defend, has a lot of experience, and is taller than Horford. Bird flickered for a moment, causing Giron to turn his head to look at Tander.

Henson clearly saw that Sander nodded slightly at Giron.

"Hopefully an All-Star center, not the same as a full-fledged All-Star center, Larry. Roy. Hibbert, I know him, is well-rounded in the low post, has a one-handed shot, and his height allows the team to rebound and defend inside. But to be honest, he couldn't impress me yet. As for Troy. Murphy, how do you think we're going to eat his $11 million contract for the new season? ”

"Troy. Murphy's contract expires next summer, and as far as I know, you've been trying to get rid of Kirk. See, isn't this an opportunity? Bird stopped again, "It's time for you to swing, Mr. Giron." ”

Giron was stunned for a moment, he obviously didn't expect Bird to involve Hinrich in the trade as well.

Kirk. Hinrich, the No. 7 rookie in 2003. As the first player to record a triple-double in 2003, Hinrich was once expected by everyone. So in 2006, the Bulls signed Hinrich to a five-year contract worth $48.5 million. The following year, Hinrich was named to the All-Defensive Second Team.

But last season, the Bulls traded Hinrich, who didn't grow as expected, to the Washington Wizards. After the Wizards played just 48 games, Hinrich was sold to the Atlanta Hawks.

Hinrich played in 24 games for the Hawks, 22 of them starts, averaging 30 minutes per game while scoring just 8.6 points and 3.3 assists. There's no doubt that his performance has led Giron to think that the white guard isn't worth the nearly $10 million annual salary. The worst thing is that Hinrich has two years left on his contract to expire, and now he doesn't have much trade value, so it's hard to make a move

In recent days, in addition to worrying about Horford's affairs, Giron and Sander have also racked their brains to figure out how to get Hinrich out of the way. But he didn't expect Bird to come to the door.

"It seems that Mr. Bird has been very well prepared for his work beforehand." Giron recovered from his surprise and smiled slightly. Hinrich, I really didn't expect Bird to have such a hand!

"I do want to make a move on Hinrich, but even then your chips aren't attractive enough. There's no way I'm going to send El away just to get rid of Hinrich. Horford. Giron said as he swung hard, and the ball went wide.

"We're all well aware that you don't have much space left for Horford. How much can you offer him? 60 million in 5 years? Kevin. Durant has signed for 5 years and 86 million! By next summer, there will be a large number of teams with five-year, $70 million or more contracts to buy Horford, who is second only to Durant in the class of '07. Do you think you can match such a contract? When the time comes, Mr. Giron, you will get nothing! Now I'm talking to you about a win-win deal, where you still get an All-Star center, a veteran interior player who averages two doubles per game, and a salary structure that's no longer stressful. And me, I can get the players I need. As for Horford, whether it's 70 million in 5 years or 80 million in 5 years, you don't have to worry about it. ”

After Bird finished speaking, Giron didn't speak again for a while. At first he felt that Hibbert and Truy. Murphy's chips were nonsense, but now he doesn't think so anymore.

Bird knows him well, knows the Eagles well, knows the team well right now. So every word he said was right for the case, and it happened to be said in Jilong's heart.

"You know, Mr. Bird. Next summer, the NBA will start a new round of labor negotiations. Geelong was still whirling, and Bird's phrase "You won't get anything then" sparked Geelong's nerves.

"Are you counting on a lower wage cap after collective bargaining? As an old fritter who has been in the league for decades, I can tell you very responsibly, Mr. Giron. After the labor negotiations, the salary cap will only rise wildly, not lowered! It's a big deal that the players go on strike, and it's not like this hasn't happened before. When the time comes, in order to reduce losses, the alliance will have to compromise. Maybe next summer, 70 million in five years won't be a big number anymore, Mr. Giron. Maybe in the NBA world in the future, contracts of 100 million yuan will abound! You also know that Horford has recently changed managers, which is not a good sign for you. Why did he change managers? For larger contracts. And those managers are cunning foxes, Mr. Giron. Now we are doing a win-win business, but the manager only cares about the interests of his clients. ”

Henson nodded reassuringly, this guy Bird can be said to have executed his plan quite perfectly, and every sentence is in place! Money, for the owners of a team like the Eagles, is always very important. After all, not every team is like Los Angeles and New York, where you can throw money like crazy. As long as the star is willing to come, money is not a problem at all!

But for a small club like the Eagles, especially after they have just signed a contract of 100 million yuan, money must be "calculated". And Byrd, from the beginning of the negotiations, has not left the subject of money. His proposal could indeed save the Eagles tens of millions of dollars! And Hibbert and Murphy, who got it, are also players with good strength.

"I could have made another offer to Horford next summer at a price you can't match. But I didn't do it because I think we're long-term partners and we're friends, so I'm bringing my chips and reducing your losses. Bird stepped up his offensive and the other party did not speak, indicating that he could not find a point to refute. The Pacers, who were on the passive, have now taken the initiative in this deal!

"Your proposal is interesting, Mr. Bird, but I don't think it's sincere enough. No one knows if Hibbert can really grow into an All-Star, and it is still unknown if Murphy can play well. And me, all I need to pay is an All-Star, a 23-year-old All-Star! Draft picks, Bird, if you're willing to make a pick, we've got to talk about it. ”

Henson felt that the Atlanta sky was exceptionally beautiful, and it was done!

"The 2012 second-round pick, that's the best chip I can give you." Bird frowned, looking like he was going to be hard to do.

"I wanted the second round in 2011 and the first and second rounds in 2012." The Gilong lion opened his mouth, he couldn't trade at a loss. At the Pacers' state, they have enough draft picks for the Hawks to find their next All-Star. In fact, if it weren't for the league's rule that teams can't trade first-round picks year after year, he would have even added a 2011 first-round pick.

Bird stopped the car and deliberately thought for a long time. In fact, these picks were also a bargaining chip in Henson's plan, and from the beginning, they didn't plan to get things done with just Hibbert and Murphy. It is inevitable to want to get a great present and overdraft a part of the future.

The reason why Bird deliberately thought for a long time was to give the other party an illusion, "Look, we have also paid a great price." ”

In this way, to prevent the other party from continuing to open his mouth. Therefore, the business field of the NBA is full of deception! But this kind of deception made Henson extremely excited! He loves the game and he enjoys it! Looking at Bird's tangled appearance, Henson really wanted to award him an Oscar for Best Actor.

"Like I said, Mr. Giron, I consider you a friend. Even if this price is a bit too heavy for us, for the sake of friends and our long-term cooperation, I can take a step to show my sincerity. As you wish, Mr. Giron. Hibbert, Murphy, the 2011 second-round pick, all the 2012 picks, it's all yours. ”

With that, Bird swung the ball into the hole with one shot.

"You've won, Bird, and it's a good shot." Giron smiled and shook his head.

"No, we won!" Henson secretly rejoiced in the other golf cart.
