Rockets draft pick
With Li Muchen's constant actions, Mokosa, the deputy general manager of the 76ers, suddenly became busy. He followed Li Muchen's request and placed all the players of the 76ers on the trading shelf except for Iverson, Raja Bale, and Samuel Dalembort.
These players were all very good players. Mokosa did not want to trade them at all. However, he was only a deputy general manager. What right did he have to speak?
After hanging the player's trade sign, Mokosa immediately contacted the Rockets. His first task was to get the Rockets 'first round draft pick.
..............................
Houston, America.
As the general manager of the Rockets, Carol Dawson naturally had his own office. At this moment, he was sitting in his office, constantly flipping through the rookie and free agent reports.
The NBA Finals were in progress, but none of this had anything to do with the Rockets. The Rockets 'record this year was garbage, third from the bottom in the league. If the Rockets did nothing, he would probably be reprimanded by his boss, Alexander.
Just as Carol Dawson was thinking about how to strengthen the Rockets, a phone call interrupted his thoughts.
"Moksa?"
Looking at the caller ID, Carol Dawson couldn't help but frown. Moksa was the deputy general manager of the 76ers. Did he call him at this time to make a deal with the Rockets?
At the thought of this, Carol Dawson quickly picked up the phone.
"Long time no see, Mr. Carlo!”
"Long time no see, Mr. Moksa.”
After greeting him, Moksa smiled and asked,""Mr. Carlo, are you watching the finals?”
"Of course, this is another opportunity to witness the birth of a dynasty after Jordan. Mr. Moksa, such an opportunity is rare, isn't it?”
"Indeed, OK is a great combination. If you want to win against the Los Angeles team, you have to beat them head-on. However, O'Neal's dominance was too strong. There was a second Kobe in the league, but there was no second O'Neal.”
"Yes, O'Neal is definitely unique in the Alliance. I don't think there will be a second O'Neal in the Alliance.”
Carlo Dawson sighed. Moksa immediately followed his words and cut to the main topic." So, Mr. Carlo, that's why I'm looking for you today.
I want to make a deal with you, a win-win deal.”
"What deal? Tell me."
"I want your team's Steve Francis. As a show of sincerity, we are willing to give you Dikambe Mutumbo and our draft pick this year!”
"What, Steve Francis?”
Carol Dawson shook his head like a rattle-drum."No, no way. Francis is not for sale. He will never trade with you!”
Carol Dawson decisively rejected the trade. Francis was an All-Star player who had an average of 20 points per game. He was the star player of the Rockets. How could he trade a 36-year-old Dikambe Mutumbo for Francis?
"Steve Francis can't do it, but so can Mr. Catino Mobley.”
"Mr. Moksa, I think there is no need for us to talk.”
Carlo Dawson said in a deep voice. If Mokosa was trying to get these two players who had an average of 20 points per game, then there was nothing to talk about between them.
"Oh, Mr. Carlo, can we trade next year's draft pick? We can use Derek Coleman to exchange for next year's draft pick. Of course, you'll have to give us some cash!”
"Moksa, everyone knows that next year is the year of the draft. LeBlanc James, Cameron Anthony, and the others will be participating in the draft next year!”
"Indeed, no one can refuse Lebrang James.”
Mokosa sighed." If next year's draft pick isn't enough, then what about this year's? Mr. Carroll, Derek Coleman is a talented All-Star player. He has an average of 15 8 per game this season. Are you willing to use this year's first-round draft pick in exchange for him?”
After going around in a big circle, Moksa finally revealed his true colors. After he finished speaking, his heart started to beat rapidly. He was afraid that the guy opposite him would reject his proposal.
Mokosa's heart beat faster, and Carlo's heart could not help but beat faster. Just as Mokosa had said, Derek Coleman was a talented All-Star player. He could average 15 8 points per game beside Iverson and Dikembe Mutumbo, which was enough to show his strength.
If the tactics were slightly biased towards Derek Coleman, this player would definitely be able to achieve 20 10!
And most importantly, Derek Coleman was a power forward. He could match up perfectly with the Rockets 'backcourt players, Steve Francis and Cuttino Mobley!
Three 20 players on a team?？？
This scene was simply too beautiful!!!
And most importantly, the rocket didn't cost anything.
This year's draft pick?
Oh, who knew what the Rockets would get this year? And so what if they got the top pick? Did they have to trade Jay Williams?
(Note: Jay Williams was the favorite for the top pick in 2002. Only the Rockets, who had no lack of players in the backcourt, chose Yao under great pressure.）
For a moment, Carol Dawson couldn't help but want to agree to the deal.
But Carroll suppressed the urge in his heart. He began to speculate why the 76ers wanted to trade Derrick Coleman. Could it be that Derrick Coleman had started drinking again?
"Buddy, this is a deal that's hard to refuse, if Derek Coleman doesn't drink too much!”
Carlo probed. Moksa immediately laughed and said,"Drinking too much? No, Derek Coleman was not the same person he was a few years ago.
Buddy, I can guarantee that he has no problems. If the tactics were focused on him, he would still be that 20 10 All-Star.”
"Mr. Carlo, please seize this rare opportunity. I think the Bulls, Warriors, and Grizzlies will all be interested in him!”
"Please give me time. I'll fly to Philadelphia immediately and meet Mr. Derek in person.”" One day," Carlo said decisively." After one day, I'll give you a bargaining chip you're satisfied with!"”
Facing Moksa's provocation, Carlo Dawson couldn't take it anymore. After he hung up the phone, he immediately flew to Philadelphia with his professional team.
A day later, the Rockets and the Sixers completed a deal. The Rockets used the 2002 first-round draft pick, Kevin Cato, and 1.5 million dollars to trade for Derek Coleman.
