Chapter 134 Surprised Pat Riley
Gatsby's speculation on James Dolan made James Dolan and Donny Walsh mess up. The best place to go is Miami, where cap space is huge.
James Dolan waited for Gatsby and Donny Walsh to call and make an appointment with Isaiah Thomas as soon as they left. Thomas arrived at Dolan's office within half an hour of James Dolan's call, because he felt that it was very likely that he would revisit. The opportunity to return to the Knicks has come.
When Dolan saw Thomas, he immediately told Isaiah Thomas about Gatsby's speculation. Thomas thought for a while and said, "Our ultimate goal is to recruit LeBron, and what they want is the championship. Bosh wants Big cities, and apart from Miami, New York and the Big Apple city meet this requirement, is there anything more attractive than this?"
"So your opinion is?" James Dolan exhaled smoke.
"It's not as good as us. We traded Bosh or Wade to the team first. In this case, LeBron is likely to come later. In terms of commercial potential, it is impossible for CAA not to know about our Big Apple city." Isaiah Thomas cut The package of the cigar was baked with a match and lit, took a deep breath, and then said with a smile.
James Dolan was stunned: "Can Pat Riley agree?" He didn't ask Bosh. In his eyes, Bosh must not be as attractive as Wade.
"We sent Gatsby plus Gallinari and David Lee. I don't believe two players averaging 15+8 plus a super rookie. I don't believe Pat Riley would agree." Isaiah Thomas smiled smugly.
James Dolan was a little hesitant. He took a deep breath of his cigar and his eyes flickered: "...Is it worth it? You know Gatsby's performance. God knows how far he can grow."
Seeing James Dolan hesitate, Isaiah Thomas was very anxious, but he didn't understand his expressions, and said in a calm manner: "In your opinion, can Gatsby be as dominant as Wade?"
The background of Isaiah Thomas' words is that last season, Wade averaged 30.2 points, 7.5 assists, 5 rebounds, 2.1 steals and 1.3 blocks per game. After the hit, he turned around and was proficient in everything. Except for the three-pointer and the organization, he was not as good as Gatsby, and he crushed Gatsby in everything else.
A struggling look appeared on James Dolan's face: "Let me think about it."
Isaiah Thomas added a fire: "You get three superstars who are probably Wade, LeBron and Bosh!"
James Dolan poked the cigar into the ashtray, choked it out, and said, "Isaiah, can I trust you?"
Isaiah Thomas looked at James Dolan affectionately: "Jim, we have known each other for many years, have I ever betrayed you!"
James Dolan stared at Isaiah Thomas, his eyes gradually became gentle, and he said softly: "I believe in you, you can help me talk about this matter, and trade Wade over."
Miami.
Pat Riley sat alone in his office, looking at the bright sunshine outside, but his heart was not happy. The competition in the Eastern Conference was getting more and more intense:
Although the Big Three in Boston are old, no one dares to ignore them;
Cleveland Cavaliers keep going strong;
Under the leadership of Warcraft, the Orlando Magic conquered all over the world, and they were so majestic;
The Chicago Bulls have begun to recover, under the leadership of the young champion Rose;
The Hawks have shown great potential under No. [-] overall pick Al Horford;
The Charlotte Hornets played a smooth offense under the leadership of the little man.
The Heat's record since the beginning of this season is not bad, but it is not very good either. Pat Riley has found relatively suitable people for the Heat in various positions. There is no problem for such a team to enter the playoffs, but I want to It's hard to make it to the second round, and Pat Riley knows that.
What bothered him even more was that Wade's state had declined this season. He didn't know if this was the beginning of Wade's decline. , will soon lose its dominance.
This year is Wade's contract year. Generally speaking, players will play a year beyond their own state in the contract year, but Wade's state has declined instead, which has to make Pat Riley a little worried.
This summer Pat Riley wants to get a big ticket in the free market. The Heat have a lot of salary space. The big fish in the free market has never been seen in recent years. This article, not to mention the best general manager, I am afraid that it is possible to enter the ranks of the winning team!
"Beep! Beep!" Pat Riley was startled by the sudden ringing of the phone.
Pat Riley answered the phone: "Please."
"Pat, how are you doing?" came a cynical voice on the other end of the phone.Pat Riley frowned, why was this guy calling?
"Wow, Isaiah, you actually called me, what advice do you have?" Pat Riley's voice was lukewarm, he didn't have much affection for Isaiah Thomas, this guy is a good player, But as a coach and as a general manager, he is a piece of shit, and Pat Riley looks down on him.
"Haha, there is something I want to discuss with you, you should be interested." Isaiah Thomas laughed,
"Oh, tell me." Pat Riley said.
"New York wants Wade," Isaiah Thomas said.
Pat Riley was shocked: "Wow, that's a big deal, but Wade is not for sale."
Isaiah Thomas sneered: "There is nothing for sale, it's just not enough chips."
Pat Riley mused: "Oh, isn't this supposed to be Donnie Walsh coming to talk to me?"
Isaiah Thomas said a little displeased: "I was directly authorized by James Dolan."
Pat Riley made a calculation in his mind. If it was James Dolan and Isaiah Thomas who were cheating, he might actually be able to get some benefits. He smiled and said: "Then let me hear your chips. .”
Isaiah Thomas smiled: "We can trade Larry Hughes, Gallinari and Wilson Chandler to Wade."
Pat Riley sneered: "Is this your sincerity?"
Isaiah Thomas smiled and said, "I knew you wouldn't agree, what if Gatsby was added?"
Pat Riley was taken aback. "Gatsby?"
Isaiah Thomas said proudly: "It's Gatsby. How about it? Do you want to change it?"
There was a huge wave in Pat Riley's heart. Gatsby, a super rookie who could score 50+ triple-doubles. He had scored 30+ triple-doubles in many games before. The Knicks actually traded for such a rookie. ?
Pat Riley was lost in thought.
