The Way of the Center

The experience of losing to James in the East again and again caused Paul George, a guy who yearned for a championship, to almost collapse.

After experiencing a broken leg a few years ago, George's performance still allows him to become one of the best players in the league today. But the Indiana Pacers' failures in the team's construction policy time and time again have disappointed George.

Therefore, he notified the management after the end of the season that he would choose to jump out after the contract expires next season.

The facts are blatant, Paul George made it clear that he would no longer play for the Pacers.

If George jumped out of his contract like this next summer, the Pacers would lose their money. As long as a general manager with a more normal mind knows, the Pacers can still get some rewards by trading George out now. What's more, the Pacers' new general manager Chad Buchanan is not a fool.

In the beginning, things about George's deal went very smoothly. Most teams in the league are eager to get this comprehensive forward swingman, and the many prices they offer also give Buchanan a choice.

However, since Paul George went to Angel's birthday party, everything has changed.

George's team officially notified the league on June 24, the day after Anjie's birthday. No matter which team George is traded to, he will choose to opt out of his contract and not renew his contract next summer, and instead join the Portland Trail Blazers!

As soon as the news was released, the teams were terrified to terminate the negotiations. Since George has said that it will definitely not renew, other teams will definitely not fight for George's one-year use rights.

The newly appointed Buchanan must hate An Jie’s birthday party now. God knows what An Jie ate for George that made him make such a decisive plan. In fact, the fact that An Jie is an idol of George is well known to everyone, and it is no secret that George hopes to cooperate with An Jie. Who wouldn't want to be able to fight side by side with the people they admire and have a chance to win a championship?

Only suffering from the Pacers’ new general manager, Buchanan’s dazzling array of chips disappeared in an instant, and there were very few trading options for him. Only the Thunder, who has lost everything, and the Celtics, who are in desperate need of a rise, are still willing to talk to the Pacers in detail.

Just when Buchanan was overwhelmed by this situation, the second protagonist of the whole thing, the Portland Trail Blazers, called...

In the strength training room, Morris and Westbrook were sweating frantically.

The muscles exposed on the upper body of these two superb physical fitness guys are very enviable, and even though they are so strong, they have not relaxed their training in the slightest.

"Morris." While training, Westbrook suddenly called the "big bull" beside him. In recent days, he always felt that this guy who had been with him for 7 years had something to hide from him.

"what's wrong?"

"How do I feel that something has been wrong since you came back from Portland." Westbrook simply stopped his movements and stared at Morris.

"What's wrong, isn't it good for me?" Morris smiled, but he avoided Westbrook's gaze.

"Just tell Morris if you have anything. We have been working together for seven years and there is nothing we can't say." Westbrook was a little nervous because he had recently heard some rumors that he didn't want to hear.

"Huh..." Morris put down the dumbbells, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and sat next to Westbrook.

"You know, Russell. I love you, and I love this city. But seriously, I'm already...I'm tired of failure." Morliss intends to hide it, but when he sits After being by Westbrook's side, he decided to show it all.

"Did you know? Ann and I graduated from the same university. Whenever I saw him raise the championship trophy again and again, and I can only watch it on TV, my heart will be slammed. Obviously it is a university. The teammates who fought side by side during the period, obviously we also had a happy time in Oklahoma. But why is the gap between us so huge now? I also want to taste the taste of the championship, Russell. In Oklahoma, at least for now, I don’t see any possibility."

"Which team is it? Warriors? Cavaliers? Or Celtics?" Westbrook asked bluntly. He had experienced Durant's sudden departure. Now there is nothing Westbrook can't accept. What about?

"Portland Trail Blazers, I want to play with Ann." Morris answered calmly.

Westbrook froze for a moment, but soon he recovered his calm. Trailblazer? This is indeed a choice he didn't think of. After all, the team led by Anjie has been out of sight for two years.

"when are we leaving?"

"My team is negotiating a contract in Portland, maybe, just these few days."

"The day I leave, I will see you off." Westbrook finished, and continued his training.

Morris was a little unbearable. After he was gone, the Oklahoma City Thunder really only left Westbrook. This guy is very good to people and dedicated to the team. Last season, he even hit an unprecedented triple-double per game and won the mvp.

Morris could not bear Oklahoma and Westbrook. But his yearning for the championship is far greater than these "reluctant".

"Sorry buddy, I just want to win, nothing more." Morris muttered to himself silently in his heart.

Lonely hero, this label, may continue to follow Westbrook for a while...

"Kyrie Irving: I am eager to be traded."

"Chris Paul officially joined the Rockets. Houston is about to take off?"

"Carmelo Anthony is still in contact with the Rockets, the trading mystery is full!"

Compared with last summer, the news on the trading market this year is even more colorful.

Multiple heavyweight superstars have been involved in trading rumors. It seems that since Durant joined the Warriors, the entire league has been completely messed up.

But today, Anjie is no longer a bystander of these transactions and signings. He arrived in the general manager's office of Moda Center early in the morning. For the pioneers and Anjie, today is a big day.

"I have to thank you, Ann." While waiting in the office, Nell Orsi suddenly said this to An Jie, making An Jie confused.

"Thank me? What's the matter, Mr. Orsi, suddenly so polite."

"I haven't made any substantial actions in the summer market for two consecutive years. The trade to Nurkic in the middle of last season seems to be my best operation in these two years. Without you, this summer I might Do nothing." Orsi had to admire An Jie's personal charm, because the two people who are about to sign with the team today were attracted by An Jie. He has nothing to do with him as the general manager.

"Don't say that about Mr. Orsi, you brought me to Portland back then, that's enough." An Jie blinked at Orsi, although An Jie had not been happy for the past two seasons. When he knew it, it wasn’t Orsi’s fault. There is no rush to reorganize the team.

While Anjie and Orsi were chatting, the door of the general manager's office was knocked suddenly.

"Come!" Orsi tidied his suit, and An Jie smiled and looked at the door.

"Please come in." As Orsi shouted loudly, the door of the general manager's office was gently pushed open by the secretary.

It was no one else standing outside, it was Andrew Morris and Paul George!

"Welcome, gentlemen, Ann and I have been waiting for a long time!" Orsi stood up and shook hands with George and Morris one by one. As long as the contract is completed, the whole world will be waiting for a good show!

After that, Orsi went straight to the subject. He first signed Morris at an incredible low price of 20 million in two years. You know, in this era when even Mozgov can get a big contract, Morris's contract can only be described as extremely cheap.

Although Meslav was unwilling to allow his clients to lower his wages so severely at first, he completely compromised when he thought of his two clients being able to create a legend together.

As for George, the Pacers have agreed to complete the deal with the Blazers.

Nell Orsi sent Alan Crabbe and C.J. McCollum and the 2018 first-round pick to get Paul George from the Pacers. The completely rebuilt Pacers gained potential, and the Trailblazers who were eager to continue to create a dynasty gained George's terrifying immediate combat power. The two teams take what they need and do not owe each other.

An agreement was quickly reached after signing the contract. An Jie walked up to the two people in front of him, opened his arms, and hugged them at the same time.

"Next, let's not have fun!" An Jie patted Morris and George on the back hard, Golden State Warriors? Cleveland Cavaliers? Houston Rockets? Boston Celtics?

It's okay~www.NovelMTL.com~ You all come here!

"Champion, buddy!" Morris responded loudly.

"No! What we need is not just a championship, we need to create another dynasty!" An Jie replied decisively.

"Well, gentlemen, take a break. Three hours later, I will hold a press conference. It's time for the whole world to tremble!" Orsi looked at everything in front of him happily, if it wasn't because of Anjie , God knows how long it will take for the Trail Blazers to recover.

His personal charm always allows him to find a helper that suits him.

After two years of immersion, An Jie has become a 28-year-old no longer young guy. After two years of waiting, the Trail Blazers became an accessory to the Warriors and Cavaliers to rule the league.

An Jie will get all those lost things back soon!

Victory, honor, championship, ring, trophy...The Dark Knight of the Torn City is about to make a comeback!
