Chapter 11: I'm Your Father!

Traded on the day of the draft!

If there is anything more humiliating about the rookies participating in the NBA draft than not being selected, it is basically this thing. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

Sometimes, some teams make live trades for rookies in exchange for superstars, or some salary space, personnel space, and so on, and that's understandable.

But sometimes, the team simply doesn't like the rookie, and uses it to add some additive, cash or something, and trade a young player who is more in the upper ranks. In that case, the player being traded is a pawn, a dispensable existence, and the reason why the trade is only entered into the trade is to balance the principle of personnel and salary.

For this part of the rookies who were traded, it was very, very embarrassing to be notified that they had been traded just after the draft was over and before they had time to celebrate with relatives and friends.

And Gu Yu's situation is even more exaggerated.

"What ......??!"

The live broadcast here has just been halfway through, and Gu Yu himself has not been notified, and the media has already gotten information from the news announced on the spot. This made Gu Yu and Yu Chenyi stunned in place, and they were almost unable to do half of the interview.

This......

You look at me, I look at you, and I don't know what to say all of a sudden.

I was selected, and the team didn't notify me.

He was traded, and the team still didn't notify him.

From beginning to end, Gu Yu didn't have any contact with the Timberwolves, and inexplicably, he was kicked around like a ball.

This is too unscrupulous to treat people as human beings, right......??

"Gu Yu ......!"

Seeing that Gu Yu's face was getting more and more ugly, Yu Chenyi, who knew that Gu Yu had a hot temperament, was a little anxious. It's a live broadcast at this time, if Gu Yu says something inappropriate in front of the camera, this good interview will become a farce!

Although the Timberwolves did this too much, Gu Yu was only a player who was selected at the end of the draft, and the fact of "being selected" was already an unexpected happy event. In Gu Yu's opinion, the whole thing was the timber wolf Chi Guoguo's contempt for himself. But in the eyes of fans and the public, it is just an ordinary "garbage player trade".

Gu Yu, you must be calm!

"Timberwolves ......"

Gu Yu gritted his teeth and whispered the name of the Timberwolves, his eyes became heavier and heavier, and a raging fire almost broke out on his big back.

"Hmm...... That's, that's the interview on the spot, the host ......"

"Karn is out! Timberwolves team manager David Kahn is out!! ”

Here, Yu Chenyi was about to end the interview very bluntly, when near the exit of Madison Square, there was a sudden commotion.

"David! David! This way, this way! We're on the runway, can you take the time to do an interview?? ”

"David! Gu, who has just selected the mysterious Chinese player, has made a deal with the Kings on the spot, can you reveal the details of the deal? ”

"Since you have chosen, why do you want to trade Gu away? David, explain it a little......! ”

In the crowd, David Kahn walked out slowly with his small eyes open and a rich face, and while greeting the media reporters, he walked to the car that had already stopped not far away.

Although people habitually refer to Kahn as the "manager of the Timberwolves", in fact, he is already the president of basketball operations for the Timberwolves, and he has a lot of power in his hands. From player selection to coach appointments, from trade direction to team building ideas, Kahn's ideas basically represent the future direction of the Timberwolves.

Over the past few years, Kahn's overall approach to building the team has been a chaotic one, with a constant hoarding of young players, but there has been a lot of overlap in the players' positions. Every year's free agent market and trade market, "which team does David Kahn send warmth" and "which brain-dead player does David Kahn sign" are all one of the topics after dinner.

Kahn's level of draft and trade, in the words of famous basketball experts Chatford and John Hollinger, is one word:

"It's confusing."

Or to use the familiar emoji of readers, that is, Nick Young's "black question mark face".

"Wait a minute, everyone, I will be interviewed after a phone call, give me a little personal space, thank you!"

Kahn was an old fritter, and he didn't panic too much in the face of the media, obviously didn't take the series of operations he had just done seriously, waved his hand and smiled, walked quickly to the side of the car and sat in, picked up the phone and said, leaving the media reporter to stare dryly by the car door.

Karn didn't break his promise, and the call was crisp and clean, and it was over in two or three minutes. Putting down his phone, Kahn got out of the car, tidied up his suit, and smiled in front of countless media cameras: "Let me inform you first, the deal has been completed, I have just been in contact with Kings manager Petri, the details have been finalized, and the contract is signed and it is over!" Thank you all for your concern, I'll go first, goodbye! ”

With that, Karn opened the car door and was about to leave.

"Oh? Who did Gu get in exchange?? ”

The reporters hurriedly asked.

"Huh? In exchange for whom? ”

Karn paused, looked back at the reporters in confusion and said, "No one in exchange!" ”

"No, who didn't get ......??"

The reporters at the scene were all stunned.

The so-called transaction, isn't it that there are comings and goings, you make a player, I make a player, and so on?

Didn't get in exchange for whom? So Gu Yu was given to the Kings for nothing? When is Lei Feng alive?

Even if the Timberwolves agree, the alliance will not agree! Completely ignore the rules of trading!

“…… Oh I see, haha, you guys misunderstood! ”

Kahn reacted at this time, and laughed: "That's right, our trade with the Kings only involves one player, that is, ...... Well, what's his name? ”

"Gu, Gu Yu!" The reporters were also speechless and hurriedly reminded.

"Oh, yes, Gu Yu." Kahn slapped his head and laughed, "He's the only player in the trade, and we got a little cash from the Kings." ”

…… What?!!

This sentence was answered, and the scene exploded directly.

Use the rookie players you just drafted in exchange for a little cash??

In terms of trading rules, it is true that this can be operated, but this ...... It's no different from giving it away for nothing, right?!

"Hmm...... You still seem to have a bit of a misunderstanding, so let me explain it briefly. ”

"As you know, we have a couple of draft picks on hand this year through trades. Among them, Wesley Johnson was selected with the high pick. The remaining picks are ...... Not so good. ”

"It's a draft year, and to be honest, we did a lot of preparation, but we didn't really find any low-pick gems to look forward to. Originally, our player list was almost full, and it was impossible to sign all the selected players, so there was a contradiction here. ”

In front of the camera, Karn did not shy away from it, and said with a smile: "I originally chose this ......"

"Gu."

"Ah yes, we chose Gu, we took a fancy to his projection ability. However, we believe that the current strength is not enough to compete in the professional league. ”

Kahn continued: "Our ideal position is to be able to use this draft and keep the priority to sign Gu in the future. It is best for Gu to temper for a period of time in his own country's league, even if it is a minor league. When he has the strength in place, we will naturally sign him. ”

After saying that, Karn looked at the stunned faces in front of him, and his small eyes widened, "Is this understandable?" ”

This......

The reporters on the scene really didn't know what to say.

Understand? Of course I did.

No matter how nice Karn says, to put it bluntly, you just want the white wolf with empty gloves, no matter what the future development is, put on a tight spell first. If it comes out, then you Kahn and the Timberwolves have the foresight to sign it right away. If he couldn't get out, he wouldn't have paid Gu Yu half a dime anyway, so he wouldn't lose anything at all.

Such a low-ranking draft is dispensable, and I selected you, but I don't like you, so it's always okay not to sign with you!

I'll tell you straight now: You can't, I don't want you. If you want to be in the future, I'll talk about it later!

What is this? Is business a business?

No.

It's "teasing you"!

"If there are no more problems, I'll go first, goodbye!"

Seeing that the reporters were still stunned, apparently not recovering from his ruthlessness, Kahn got into the car, showed a sunny smile to the camera, and then reached out to close the car door.

"Smack!"

On the side of the door, a hand reached over and blocked the door.

"Huh......?"

Karn pulled the door hard, but he didn't pull it a few times, not like a reporter should have, and looked up suspiciously.

This man......

"Who are you?"

A retro oily head flashed in front of him, Karn asked, puzzled.

"Gu Yu......! Oh no! ”

Yu Chenyi, who was also stunned in place, only to find that Gu Yu had long since disappeared, and was standing by the car door to prevent Kahn from leaving, secretly screaming in her heart that something was wrong, and hurriedly ran to the car.

“…… Who am I? ”

Gu Yu's face was clouded, staring at Karn's white face, his left hand clutched the car door and did not let go, he took a deep breath, and his right hand slowly clenched into a fist.

“…… I'm your dad! ”

"Bang!"
