Don't talk trash to him.

Chapter 47 Don’t let me down, Danny!

Sometimes trading is difficult.

Take Suwan now for example. Even with the pressure from LeBron's team, Danny Ferry couldn't be persuaded to trade him.
But sometimes, trading is a very easy thing;
For example, at this moment, Danny Ferry received a call from the big boss.

Trading Su Wan became inevitable.

Out of respect for Suwan, Danny Ferry called Suwan before officially starting the transaction.

Su Wan was not surprised by this result. He was curious: "Danny, I really want to know what made you change your mind overnight and take the blame for LeBron's team..."

Could it be that LeBron's team threatened to leave Cleveland?
impossible!

If such a threat were to get out, it would have a huge impact on LeBron's image as the "Son of Cleveland."

This is just like "nuclear weapons", which can only pose the greatest threat when not used.

Apart from this reason, Su Wan really couldn't think of any other reason that could make Danny Ferry compromise so quickly.

It was not until Danny Ferry opened his mouth and said the name of the big boss that Su Wan suddenly understood and no longer had any doubts.

Come to think of it, with such a big pot...except for the big boss, who else could make Danny Ferry willingly take it on?
Su Wan was quite satisfied.

The big boss doesn't even bother to care about general team struggles. Do you really think that the big bosses of other teams in the league are like Mark Cuban, who regards running the team as his main business?
Just look at old Bass.

The last time he intervened in the team's player transaction was the issue of whether the "OK" combination would stay or go.

This shows how thorny Su Wan is. The LeBron team can only ask the big boss to solve the problem. And Su Wan is sure that the LeBron team must have promised Gilbert something to achieve this goal. Otherwise, Gilbert would not intervene at all.

"Uncle, I'm sorry, I didn't expect this day to come so soon!"

"Don't be like this, Danny, you should know that I won't feel bad about this."

For Su Wan, he had just signed a rookie contract with the Cavaliers when he came here, and he had no right to choose at all.

If he really had to choose, he would never come to the Cavaliers.

Right now, Suwan is in Cleveland and LeBron is in such a mess. If it were somewhere else, maybe it would be LeBron who left. Even if he was traded, he could leave with his head held high. How could he feel sad?

It’s too late to be happy!
"I believe that you will become one of the best players in the NBA in the future!"

Again, Suwan is Danny Ferry's choice and a testament to his vision. Even if he wants to trade Suwan himself now and this deal becomes a laughing stock in the league in the future, he still hopes that Suwan can live a good life.

"Thank you for your kindness, Danny, and thank you for selecting me with the tenth pick in the first round!"

After the call ended, Danny Ferry flipped the switch to start the deal.

There is no wall in the world that is completely airtight, not to mention that someone with ulterior motives deliberately dug a hole in the wall.

That afternoon, to be exact, just two hours later, news that the Cavaliers were preparing to trade Suwan spread in the media.

The phone on Danny Ferry's desk was ringing off the hook.

Damn you Goodwin brothers!

Ferry couldn't think of any other possibility except that they would do so.

The Goodman brothers were a little confused. They didn't intend to push Danny to this extent. After all, skipping the general manager and going to the big boss was already too much. They needed to ease the tension with Danny Ferry.

How dare you be so aggressive.

When Su Wan saw these reports, he smiled like a fox.

Yes, he asked Bill Duffy to spread the news, but he didn't say much, just revealed that the Cavaliers wanted to trade him.

Just kidding, if he said it was the boss's idea, wouldn't that be equivalent to telling everyone that he was the one who spread the news? Only such ambiguous news could make Danny Ferry suspicious of LeBron's team.

This was done to deepen the conflict between Danny Ferry and LeBron's team.

It's also to give LeBron some eye drops.

Don't forget, he is now the "third best rookie in history".

If Danny Ferry is allowed to take his time to choose, who knows what good bargaining chips he might be traded for in the end!

He has no intention of using his departure to strengthen the team for LeBron.

Only when the outside world knows that his departure is a foregone conclusion, will those "old foxes" lower the price even more frantically.

Suwan is just a rookie with an annual salary of 187 million, but his performance is worth tens of millions. It is difficult to trade for a player of equal value. Now, there is a "countdown" bomb on his head, which makes the operation even more difficult. Moreover, Danny Ferry has always performed "well" in this kind of "quick and decisive" trade.

In the summer of 02, he traded Andre Miller, who had just won the "assist king". He eventually traded for Darius Miles, the "victim of Kevin Garnett's template", and Harold Jamison, whose "contract expired".

As soon as the 02-03 season ended, they immediately announced that they would "no longer renew Jamison's contract."

In the 03-04 season, they traded Ricky Davis for Eric Williams, Tony Battie and Kedrick Brown from the Celtics.

Like Jamison, these three people all have "expired contracts."

In the summer of 04, the fate of these three players was the same as Jamison's, and they were abandoned by the Cavaliers. At the same time, Miles was also abandoned by the Cavaliers this summer.

In other words, the Cavaliers sent Miller and Davis away for nothing and got nothing in return.

Now it is a similar moment again. As long as Danny performs normally, the Cavaliers will still gain nothing from this Suwan deal!
"Don't let me down, Danny!"

Suwan was looking forward to seeing the final result, but what he didn't know was that his situation was much better than Andre Miller and Ricky Davis.

At least half of the teams in the league called to inquire about the Suwan trade and also took the initiative to submit their offer sheets.

Even though there were "old foxes" who wanted to lower the price, there were also "old foxes" who wanted to take advantage of the situation when others were lowering the price and fish in troubled waters and directly go all in on the "big fish" Suwan. In the end, Danny Ferry still received several good quotations.

For example, Mark Cuban, who had shown interest in Suwan at the first opportunity, called again. This time, they even added Devin Harris, the fifth overall pick in this year's first round, to the tradable list.

Devin Harris is a talented rookie at the point guard position.

In this year's draft, he was the first "number one" to be selected, except for Shaun Livingston.

He is very fast and can dribble the ball like flying.

Rumor has it that Mark Cuban let Steve Nash go because he chose him.

Now in order to get Suwan, he actually added Harris to the trading list.

It can be seen how attractive Su Wan is to him!
Ferry is inclined to send Suwan to the Mavericks.

Mark Cuban is so interested in him and he is the owner of the Mavericks. If Suwan goes there, he will definitely have the soil to thrive.

As I said, he hopes Su Wan lives a good life.

And getting Devin Harris can be regarded as compensating for Suwan's departure to a certain extent.

However, LeBron's team got the news from somewhere, and the Goodwin brothers called him and said, "I don't agree to trade Devin Harris with a Chinese rookie!"

We finally got rid of Suwan, and now we have to replace him with a ball-handling guard to continue competing with LeBron for the ball, right?

No, no, absolutely not!

They also don't want to see Suwan go to a big city like Dallas, especially since Mark Cuban likes Suwan so much.

"So, what do you mean?"

"Didn't the Pacers also make an offer? I don't understand what other offer could be more tempting than theirs!"

A bunch of bitches, afraid that they can’t destroy Su Wan!

Danny Ferry cursed viciously in his heart.

Everyone knows what happened to the Pacers. In a city with unstable people and full of uncertainties, no one knows where their future will lie. If Su Wan leaves, he will probably rot there and no one will care about him.

But Danny Ferry couldn't find a reason to refute. Larry Bird's offer was indeed very good:

He directly gave out the first-round pick in 05, the first-round pick in 07, and the second-round pick in 06!

Two first rounds, plus one second round...

The average All-Star starter only costs this much!

Or how about replacing the main players in their prime years from other teams?

Several teams have made similar offers.

But thinking about the fact that LeBron's team couldn't even accommodate a rookie like Devin Harris, he gave up the idea.

The matter has come to this, the die is cast!
