……
In Miami's training arena, in the general manager's office, Pat Riley carefully looked at the stack of data reports in his hand.
Naturally, his eyes are not only on the statistics of this season, but also on the preparations for next season.
In addition to Pat Riley, sitting opposite Pat Riley is Spoelscola.
As the team's head of scouting, he is naturally indispensable for team building and trading.
"Eric, what happened to the situation I asked you to investigate?"
"Currently there are very few point guards, especially good point guards, and there are not too many who may leave the team.
From the current look, Steve Nash may leave the team. This year is his contract year, but Texas has no plans to renew the contract in advance.
There is also Sam Cassell, whose contract expires this year. If the Timberwolves fail to break through the West, he may not renew his contract.
Baron Davis has just signed a contract with the Hornets. However, the Hornets will play in the West next year, and they are likely to rebuild directly. "
"And Eric Snow, and Gary Payton, whose contracts expire next year."
……
Naturally, Spoelscola also performed the tasks assigned by the boss with dignity and professionalism.
"Then who do you think is the most likely and most suitable for us?"
"Of course it's Steve Nash, I think he's going to be a great addition to our lineup.
When Chen was at UCLA, he was used to fighting, running and bombing. Our current tactics are somewhat shadowy.
It's just that, whether it's UCLA, or we are now, there is a missing engine, and I think Steve is this person. "
As expected of someone who can be the head coach in the future, Spoelscola is still very discerning in terms of tactics.
Pat Riley nodded, then shook her head again.
Although he didn't speak, Spoelscola had already received the message, and he was not optimistic about Nash.
Nash is indeed very suitable for running and bombing tactics, but he also has a corresponding shortcoming, that is, defense.
Don't look at the Heat's offensive and defensive transitions are very happy, but in fact, the Heat's defense is not bad.
Especially for fast rotation defenses, it can be boldly said that the Heat are the best in the entire league.
After all, Pat Riley is also a veteran coach who believes in this sentence very much: defense wins championships.
Don't look at Chen Mo's poor defense. In fact, it was just the past. Now Chen Mo's defense has grown a lot.
What's more, Chen Mo's defense was poor, it was only one-on-one defense, and he did a good job in assisting defense.
Otherwise, Pat Riley would not have made him the core of the team.
In fact, Pat Riley feels that, in comparison, Gary Payton and Eric Snow are more suitable for the Heat.
"And what about the front line?"
That's right, Pat Riley is not only focusing on point guards, but also players on the front line.
He wants to trade Chen Mo?
Of course it is impossible, after all, Chen Mo is the core of his establishment, and he is in the period of rapid growth.
Apart from Chen Mo, the one with the most trading value was naturally Eddie Jones.
There are also the last two years of the contract, which is very attractive for teams that intend to clear cap space and rebuild.
Even, in comparison, Grant, who still has a three-year contract, has a transaction value that is not even as good as Eddie Jones.
"Vince Carter's agent has made a move, and he is probably disappointed with Toronto, but next season, the Raptors may not be willing to let him go.
And Tracy McGrady, he probably won't want to waste time with the Magic.
However, I don't think these two people are suitable for us. "
Pat Riley nodded. The positions of the two overlap with Chen Mo, which may not be a good thing for the team.
Moreover, if they want to get these two top stars through trade, it is estimated that the Heat will have to pay Chen Mo.
This is unacceptable to everyone in the Heat, including the owners and fans.
"And then there's Mike Finley, Jamal Mashburn ... those guys could all go.
But I think Stephen Jackson is the most suitable for us. If he can focus on defense, he is definitely the best wing defender. "
Pat Riley nodded, looking very interested. The Heat's defense really needs to be strengthened.
Seeing that Pat Riley was in a good mood, Spoelscola asked boldly.
"Mr. Coach, are we really going to trade Eddie?"
Eddie Jones has played for the Heat for four years. When the team was most difficult in the past few years, it was he who led the team through the difficulties.
This year, as the boss of the team, he even took the initiative to give up his core position.
It can be said that Eddie Jones has definitely contributed to the Heat.
Pat Riley smiled and said, "Eric, we're just discussing possibilities now, as for making a decision, it's still too early.
You know, if that Shark is going to go away next year, that's what everybody's fighting for. "
Pat Riley made it very clear that all team deals next year will wait for O'Neal to make a decision before proceeding.
The Heat are no exception. If it is possible to get O'Neal, they will never let go.
Other options will only be made if O'Neal is not available.
Spoelscola nodded, and he also understood that the greatest value of Eddie Jones to the Heat now is the transaction.
Pat Riley is generally satisfied with this disciple, compared to Stan Van Gundy.
So, Pat Riley planned to educate his disciples: "Eric, do you think the NBA is a place for human feelings?"
One sentence woke up Spolskola, Spolskola thought for a while, and said.
"Maybe there is?"
"Yes, maybe, but very, very rarely.
For the NBA, favors are far less than victories and championships.
In this league, you only hear about champions, not runners-up.
Even, for some people, the overall runner-up is even a shame.
NBA is just a business, this sentence is absolutely true.
If it is possible to win the championship, I will trade Chen without hesitation. Similarly, if it is possible to win the championship, the boss will kick me out without hesitation. "
Spoelscola was taken aback, and immediately realized that it was Pat Riley who was educating him.
Without such a decisive mentality, it is not suitable to be a head coach or even manage a team.
"I see, Mr. Coach."
