I was determined to be bad, but I went straight to the Basketball Hall of Fame

Chapter 184 The third position who can't defend (first update)
Min Congda and Shengfan sighed all night long, and also told Fan Chen their identities.

Fan Chen wasn't too surprised. In fact, he could think of it from Min Congda's ID of "Clippers General Manager mcd".

There were also various gossips that were one step ahead, and this person was obviously an insider.

He just wondered why Min Congda, who can't use written English fluently and has no basketball background, became the general manager of the Clippers.

Not only is he weird, it's one of the NBA's great mysteries.

And whether Chamberlain has fucked 1985 women, whether Kevin Garnett has touched the top of the backboard, whether the envelope containing the No. [-] pick in [-] has been frozen in the refrigerator, and they are called the four major mysteries of the NBA.

Regarding the purpose of creating NBA-Batman, Min Congda only said that it is to establish a public opinion system that is out of the control of traditional media.

"Provide better public opinion weapons for the Clippers' future transactions and signings."

As for the work of the foundation, Min Congda asked Fan Chen if he had the confidence to take over.

Fan Chen thought for a while, then said bluntly in a calm tone, you can give it a try.

Min Congda was surprised by Fan Chen's calmness, and felt that this person was indeed reliable.

Fan Chen didn't ask any extra questions, and Min Congda said that the staff would contact him when the time came.

The two ended their conversation.

Fan Chen closed the laptop, feeling like a dream.

It turns out that this M god is the general manager of the Clippers, Smart Min.

And he also wants to pull himself into the China Basketball Talent Development Fund.

Fan Chen thinks there is no problem with this job.

He just felt a little strange: "How does he know that my family is in fund management? He knows that I have experience."

Fan Chen's father is a manager of a public fund, engaged in investment business.

His mother is the vice president of the Youth Development Assistance Foundation and is engaged in related public welfare undertakings.

Fan Chen never told Min Congda about this matter.

He thought to himself that the people in his family might be suitable for fund work.

And it's still a basketball-related fund, so I'm very excited to think about it.

This is much more interesting than working as an actuary for an insurance company.

"I don't know if my parents will agree with me to do this job? It should be fine."

Fan Chen thought about it lightly, no matter what he wants to do, no one can control him.

Finding what you like is the most important thing.

.........

After Min Congda took care of Fan Chen, he went to the office to find Olshey early the next morning.

Ask how things are going with the Olshey Basketball Talent Development Fund.

Olshey said that a group of people has been assembled and is ready to leave for China at any time.

Min Congda thought about it, and there is no need to worry too much for the time being, there is plenty of time during the offseason.

He told Ol'Shea: "Ol'Shea, the trade deadline is coming soon. I want you to collect the trade information of each team as soon as possible. If there is any movement, please notify me as soon as possible!"

As soon as Olshey heard it, our manager Smart is finally going to make a move to sign and trade!

"No problem, we will all work overtime tonight until the early hours of tomorrow!"

Min Congda nodded, signaling Olshey to hurry up and work.

Then, he opened the phone's address book and dialed a number.

It's a small clerk in the office area of ​​​​the NBA's New York headquarters-Arnold Lanci.

It was a coincidence that Min Congda knew him at the charity fundraising dinner in New York.

At that time, in addition to celebrities from all walks of life, there were also some small employees from the NBA headquarters who came to cheer.

Arnold Lanci is one of them, he is unremarkable among the crowd.

He is just an ordinary clerk in the NBA office. He has a little background at home and likes basketball.

So I was recommended to work at the NBA headquarters and do some ordinary writing work.

He was invited to a dinner party that day to make up for it, and not many people responded to him, it was indeed too ordinary.

In comparison, Min Congda was the shining star that night.

Arnold Lanqi took the initiative to chat with Min Congda, hoping to get acquainted with him.

Unexpectedly, Min Congda was very polite and chatted with Lan Qi a lot.

The two hit it off quite well, so they exchanged contact information.

Lan Qi felt that it was very lucky for a dick like himself to meet a big man like Smart-Min.

But they didn't know that it was because Lan Qi was a dick that Min Congda felt sympathetic with him.

Min Congda, who donated the 5 yuan, was heartbroken. If he hadn't chatted with Lan Qi and bragged, he might not be able to bear it.

After learning about Lankey's work and his mentality of not being reconciled to dawdling in the NBA headquarters.

Min Congda decided to take advantage of each other and asked Lan Qi if he wanted to work for the Clippers in the future.

Lan Qi immediately expressed his willingness and hinted that he could do something for Min Congda.

Today is February 2, the last day of the trade deadline, and it's time for Min Congda to make good use of this pawn.

"Hey, Lan Qi, there must be a lot of trade proposals being handed over to the alliance trade office today. You can find a way for me to send me photos of every deal. Is there a problem?"

The trade proposals of all NBA teams must be submitted to the league trade office for review and approval before they can be officially announced.

Most of the transaction content has been repeatedly negotiated by professionals from both parties, and there will be no problems in the contract and terms.

The approval of the league office is just a formality, and there are only rare cases where it will be rejected unexpectedly.

Therefore, the alliance office does not need to take strict confidentiality measures for these transaction applications.

Not long after it was submitted, and even before it was officially approved, some teams couldn't wait to announce the transaction results to the media.

Today is the last day of deals, and many deals are left until the last minute.

On this day, the management personnel of each team will work overtime until the early morning, and it will end on February 2th the next day.

After Min Congda took charge of the Clippers, he has been asking the whole team not to work overtime.

This time was the only time he asked the uniform team to work overtime, and he wanted to pay everyone for overtime.

Everyone is very excited, and the energy accumulated for half a season can finally be vented.

Min Congda temporarily returned the general manager's office to Olshey and asked him to answer the phone.

Olshey communicated with the managers of each team non-stop in the office, and the phone was non-stop.

It was other teams who called and made trade applications to Olshey.

At the same time, I also keep inquiring about news with other teams to know the trends of each team.

Min Congda was sitting quietly in the corner playing with his mobile phone, actually receiving the picture of the transaction application sent by Arnold Lanci.

He sent these pictures to Fan Chen in the dormitory, and Fan Chen released them through NBA-Batman.

If there is any important news from Olshey, Min Congda will also send it to Fan Chen.

After working until the early hours of the morning, all kinds of real and fake transaction information flooded in instantly.

Olshey suddenly said to Min Congda: "Mr. Smart, the Cleveland Cavaliers and the Washington Wizards want to complete a deal that requires us to be a third party. Can this deal be done?"

Min Congda asked, "Say."

"Washington sent Antawn Jamison, the Cavaliers sent Ilgauskas and Emile Preljic, they need salary parity, and they need to send a player and get a player."

Wizards to trade Antawn - Jamison, it seems they have to rebuild.

They will get draft picks from the Cavaliers, but need a third team to balance.

"Who is Washington's bargaining chip?"

"Andrew Gooden. Power forward."

Power Forward?Find a replacement for Randolph?don't want.

"No Gooden, I want the third position, and it's best not to defend."

"Position three, can't defend... huh? Mr. Smart? This..."

"Whether you give me love or not, I won't trade if you don't give me."

Min Congda didn't have any willingness to make a deal, he just saw everyone working so hard and kept making phone calls in and out of the office.

If there is no gain at all, I feel sorry for everyone, so I decided to trade for a third position who can't defend.

Olshey immediately communicated with the Wizards and Cavaliers by phone.

There is not much time left for them to think, anyway, the Cavaliers are focused on getting Jamison.

The Wizards want to rebuild and want to get rid of Jamison's big contract and get a first-round pick.

Finally, the Wizards compromised, and Olshey said: "The Wizards are willing to play Nick Young, and the bargaining chip we want to give is Thornton."

"Nick Young?"

Min Congda has the impression that he is a young man with poor defense and likes to throw three-pointers.

Min Congda likes these two characteristics, so he agrees immediately.

"Okay, Nick Young."

While talking, Min Congda sent a message to Fan Chen.

"Clippers, Cavaliers, Wizards three-way trade, Jamison came to Cleveland."
