บท 171: Chapter 171: Both Sides Agree
"From the perspective of the team's future development, I think this trade is feasible."
Kidd also said, "The only thing that makes me hesitate is that our current roster is very mature. This year, we have a chance to win back-to-back championships. The end-of-season roster adjustment might not be a good thing."
The Warriors' request included two starting players from the Suns, Tucker and Bynum. Even Dragic, who plays about 20 minutes per game, has the ability to start. The only reason Dragic is a substitute on the Suns is because of Nash.
Nash said, "The Warriors' Lee is injured, so they need a big man. This trade revolves around Bynum and Dragic."
In essence, Tucker, Frye, and Morris are just add-ons. The Warriors really want Bynum and Dragic.
Wade Dong smiled and said, "If Bynum goes to the Warriors, he'll be the real leader. All tactics will revolve around him. I wonder if he'll be happy."
Although he was smiling, Wade Dong felt a bit sad. If Bynum was really traded, the big man who was always scolded by him would be gone. Who would he scold when he's in a bad mood?
The four discussed for a while longer.
Sarver said, "Wade Dong, you're the only one who hasn't expressed an opinion yet."
"Old Kidd just said that our roster is very mature."
Wade Dong paused and said, "But if the Warriors really want to package Curry and Thompson, we can only offer Bynum, Dragic, Morris, and Brooks. I don't know if they'll accept it."
"This..."
Kidd hesitated. Wade Dong wanted to keep Tucker and Frye, and Brooks is a benchwarmer for the Suns, averaging 2.1 points and 1.7 rebounds per game.
To get these stats, credit goes to the Suns for having many games enter garbage time in the third quarter.
Sarver lit a cigar and said, "Wade Dong, you're even more ruthless than me. This is like trading Bynum and Dragic for Curry and Thompson."
"What's wrong with that?"
Wade Dong raised an eyebrow. Based on this season's performance, trading Bynum and Dragic for Curry and Thompson is an even trade.
The Warriors' management proposed this trade because they were out of their minds, but they won't realize the depth of their mistake for another year or two. After all, only Wade Dong has the Heavenly Eye.
Sarver compromised, "Then we'll do it your way. I'll call the Warriors' management now."
At this time, those awake included the Warriors' management, the Suns' owner and coach, and perhaps Bynum, Dragic, Curry, and Thompson, who were all having sweet dreams.
"Hello, Myers, this is Sarver..."
Sarver didn't avoid Wade Dong and the others, sitting on the living room sofa to call the Warriors' management.
"Mr. Sarver, I've been waiting for your call."
"Regarding your trade proposal, after careful consideration, I find some issues."
"What issues?"
"You know, we won the championship last season, and our record this season is the best in the league. Our mature roster doesn't need to be changed."
After hearing this, Myers understood that Sarver hadn't directly refused, which meant there was a disagreement on the trade terms. To make this trade happen, he needed to offer more.
After a moment of silence, Myers said, "In addition to Curry and Thompson, we can also offer Bogut."
"Bogut?"
Sarver scoffed, "You mean the center who Wade Dong dunked on?"
Myers corrected, "Mr. Sarver, it was Wade Dong who jumped over Bogut's head, not Bogut who crawled under Wade Dong's crotch."
"What's the difference?"
Sarver said, "We don't need such a player on the Suns."
At this point, Myers got straight to the point, "Mr. Sarver, you can directly tell me what you can offer."
"We can offer Bynum, Dragic, Morris, and Brooks at most."
Sarver said, "If you agree, I will notify the players and ask for their opinions. If they are willing to be traded, then this trade can be completed."
Myers hesitated, "We still need Tucker."
"The Warriors want to add Tucker."
Sarver covered the phone and quietly told Wade Dong and the others.
Wade Dong shook his head.
Kidd also shook his head and spoke for Wade Dong, "Tucker is a defensive stalwart. If we face the Heat in the playoffs again this year, we need him to defend Wade or James."
In short, Tucker's presence is to share Wade Dong's defensive burden, so he cannot be traded.
As for the Warriors, they are eager to complete this trade because the current Warriors have a good chance of making the playoffs, but Lee's injury prevents them from going further. Therefore, they need Bynum to fill the center position.
"No."
Sarver refused Myers.
Before Myers could respond to Sarver, Wade Dong said, "Frye is also not an option. If we trade both Bynum and Frye, the team will only have Gortat to play the center position. We can't have me playing center."
Just as Wade Dong finished speaking, Myers asked again, "What about Frye?"
Sarver directly refused.
After another silence, Myers continued, "Bynum, Dragic, Morris, and Dudley for Curry and Thompson. If you agree, we can complete this trade."
Dudley?
Trade Dudley?
Wade Dong and the others also heard this. They were silent for a moment. In fact, the player with the best relationship with Wade Dong on the Suns is not Nash or Kidd, but the young Dudley. If he were traded, Wade Dong would truly miss him.
However, the Suns currently have many usable players, and Dudley has become increasingly marginalized. This year is Dudley's contract year. If he performs well with the Warriors, he can get a good contract at the end of the season. Staying with the Suns would not be beneficial for Dudley's development.
Wade Dong was silent because he was reluctant, but he also knew that going to the Warriors would be better for Dudley than staying with the Suns.
"Okay!"
This time, Sarver agreed, "I will notify the players tonight. Whether the trade can be completed depends on the players' consent."
Apart from the star players, many ordinary players are only notified after the trade is completed. However, out of consideration for the players, Sarver will communicate with them first.
