"System?"
"With the system, this job can still be done.”
Wang Ran heaved a sigh of relief.
Otherwise, it would be difficult for the Nets to make it into the playoffs.
"Alright, I have to go back to the country first. I'll leave this place to you.”
The boss, Prokhorov, got up and left the office.
From that moment on, the team was completely in Wang Ran's hands.
After Prokhorov left, Wang Ran came to the door.
"Hello, please gather the team's management. I need a meeting.”
Wang Ran said to the blond secretary outside the door.
Before long, the team's operations director, training director, media director, scouting director, and other high-level executives were all gathered in the conference room.
When they saw Wang Ran, the new general manager of the team, they looked at each other in silence.
They had heard that the manager had just been kicked out. Under such circumstances, no one was stupid enough to deliberately jump out and cause trouble.
"Today is my first day in office.”
"Let me set our goal for the Nets this season.”
Wang Ran walked to the whiteboard and wrote a line of words on it with an oily pen:
The championship!
"What?! The championship!"
"There must be something wrong with this general manager's brain!”
"Doesn't he know what's going on with our team?”
"What a whimsical idea!"
"Forget about the championship, I don't believe we can make it to the playoffs this season!”
"If I can really win the championship, I'll eat this whiteboard!”
"I'll eat with you!"
The group of managers could not help but mutter.
In their opinion, this was simply impossible!
That's right, without any draft picks, no salary space, and no room for maneuver, let alone winning the championship, they really couldn't even make it into the playoffs.
These executives frowned and then saw the flames burning in Wang Ran's eyes.
the confident
That fighting spirit
He didn't look like he was bragging!
"General Manager, I believe in your enthusiasm.”
"But passion alone is not enough!”
"Everything still has to be put on the field.”
said Finley, the team's operations director.
Old Finley, who was in charge of the day-to-day operations of the team and the stadium, had a lot of affection for the team.
He had been on the team during Martin and Kidd's time.
At that time, they were only one step away from the championship.
After that, the team was getting worse and worse, getting further and further away from the championship. Old Finley could only sigh silently.
"I know, so the first step is to make a deal.”
Wang Ran placed his hands on the table and said seriously.
"Deal?"
Everyone present looked at each other.
They also knew that a trade was a way to rejuvenate the team, but
The Nets did not have much room for maneuver now!
In the team, John Johnson occupied about 25 million in salary space, the highest salary in the team!
One had to know that LeBlanc James 'salary this year was only 23 million.
The 35-year-old Joe Johnson received the highest salary on the team, with an average of 11.8 points, 4.1 assists, and 3.9 rebounded per game.
This number was not bad for an average team's starting lineup.
But this was Joe Johnson, who took up the majority of the team's salary!
Which team would be willing to take him down with this number and salary?
The second highest paid player on the team was Brook Lopes, who would be paid 21 million next season.
On the other hand, the numbers that came out of the game were in line with his value.
Averaged 20.6 points, 7.8 rebounded, 1.7 blocked shots, and 2 assists per game.
With this number, he would be considered an excellent core player in any team.
Moreover, he was still young and had unlimited potential.
It was impossible for him to trade for Lopes.
As for the rest of the team
Bogdanovic and Shaunki both performed well, but they were cost-effective!
If they were traded, the team would be empty!
This new general manager said that he wanted to trade as soon as he arrived.
If they could make a deal, the previous general manager would have done so long ago!
Why wait until now?
"That's right, it's a deal!"
"The first thing I want to do is to trade for Rodriguez.”
Wang Ran said with a smile.
" What?!"
"Trade for Lobez!"
"Are you crazy?!"
"General Manager, don't give up on yourself!”
"He's one of the few high-quality assets our team has!”
"If we trade for Rodriguez, where are we going to find such a good center forward?”
"The center forward is the hardest piece of the puzzle to find for a team!”
Everyone couldn't help but persuade him.
Could it be that this general manager doesn't know anything about football?
One had to know that there were very few high-quality centers in the Alliance!
He was an excellent center that the Nets had chosen and nurtured themselves!
Not long ago, he had also played 35 points, five blocks, seven blocks, and three assists. He was elected as the best player of the Eastern Conference.
Moreover, he signed a three-year,$60 million contract with the team last year.
It could be said that in the next two seasons, Lápez would be the core pillar of the team!
Wang Ran actually wanted to trade him away?
If this wasn't madness, then what was?!
