Legendary Basketball Tycoon

After chatting with Kobe for a while, Bruce hung up the phone, because the sound of someone calling on his phone came when he was talking to Kobe.

"Mickey, go ahead, what happened?"

Bruce is a bit confused at the moment. It is reasonable that the head coach Paul Westphal takes the team to participate in the regular season all over the United States, and the general manager Mitch Kupchak needs to be in New York!

Not long after the game between the New York Hans and the Los Angeles Lakers ended, Mitch Kupchak called. Did something happen?

"Prince, it's like this..."

Mickey Kupchak is also more helpless, but this matter is too big to let the team boss know that he can't be the master.

It turned out that Kobe "performed" various "movements" in the game against the Los Angeles Lakers and impressed the management of other teams in the league.

No, general manager Mickey Kupchak "won the lottery" again. These uniforms can't wait to make Mickey Kupchak's phone calls, just to inquire about the possibility of trading Kobe.

The uniforms of these teams are all "human spirits", and they rushed over as soon as they found the "target"...

Everyone may say that the highlight performance of a game is as good as it is. Here, I want to say that it is, and it is very good.

You must know that Kobe is by no means a small rookie.

There are many auras given to him, such as "Jordan's successor", "Youngest Mr. 50+", "Rookie King with many scoring methods" and so on...

There are a lot of people who can get 50+ in the rookie season. These people are undoubtedly not superstars with a high status in the league. Kobe can achieve such an achievement in the second game of his rookie season. It is undoubtedly that many teams have seen him become The shadow of a superstar.

Needless to say the value of a superstar in the team!

Superstars = tickets, jerseys, other income + traffic. Who does not go to the arena to watch the game without a star? They are not so stupid if they really want them to watch a group of ordinary players. They spend so much money on the tickets to watch this?

I might as well go to the stadium on the street to watch for free.

The stars are treated like this, the superstars, the treatment is not greater, these team owners are not idiots, they all want to have such a superstar to join their team, thereby increasing their income.

That's all money!

Anyway, in one sentence, they all fell in love with Kobe, and they wanted Kobe.

"Oh, want Kobe?"

"Talk about which teams are there?"

Bruce didn't care about it on the phone. If, according to the previous life, Kobe is still on the bench for Eddie Jones in the Lakers, it would still be so popular now!

"Los Angeles Lakers, Los Angeles Clippers, Boston Celtics, Philadelphia 76ers..."

General manager Mitch Kupchak reported the teams that wanted to trade to the Bruce one by one.

"So many, when has Kobe been so popular?"

When Bruce heard that so many teams wanted Kobe, he was stunned. It's not that two or three teams want to trade Kobe, but that nearly half of the teams in the league are asking about the possibility of a trade...

That's right, even the general manager Mitch Kupchak, who was watching the game at his home in New York, was surprised.

It's really people sitting at home, and the pot comes from the sky.

As early as the fourth quarter of the Hans and Lakers game, his phone began to ring non-stop.

With the calls coming one by one, Mitch Kupchak himself went from shock to crazy, showing how much influence the uniforms of these teams have brought to him...

"Yeah, I didn't expect it to be that Kobe performed so well in this game, which attracted the attention of other teams in the league..."

Sometimes acting too well is also a kind of "crime", not a crime of war!

"If only a team is looking for a deal, you shouldn't make this call, right?"

Bruce also nodded, to be honest, as the team's general manager Mitch Kupchak is indeed more serious and responsible, and he resolutely followed his instructions.

Shouldn't Bruce tell Mitch Kupchak that Kobe is the team's "not for sale"?

It must be impossible.

Otherwise, in the commercial-oriented NBA league, it is difficult for a team to have that kind of one-man, one-city players.

These players are not unwilling to stay, but the team’s bosses have to pay a high "luxury tax" because of their annual salary increase. Some bosses are unwilling to pay such a high price, which is normal.

You must know that this is not a small amount of money, but a large amount of money. With this money, it is better to go through the draft or "Taobao" on the free market!

And don’t people like Mourning, Kidd, and Sam Perkins, captain of the New York Hans, care about it?

How could this be possible, just because Bruce said "not for sale", Mickey Kupchak hung up all the possibilities of wanting to trade them.

It’s just that Kobe’s "trade" is really tempting. Even Mitch Kupchak himself admits that he was moved. If he is really in charge, he can guarantee that he can play for the New York Hans from Kobe’s trade again. "Robbery" to 2-3 unprotected first-round picks, and they are still lottery picks, not to mention that there are other players involved in this transaction.

(After all, Kobe will definitely play for the Hans for a full year. By next year's draft, the lottery draw has already been determined, and then the team in the lottery area will be selected for a deal)

It can be said that if Mickey Kupchak is really operated like this, the New York Hans will be able to win the league championship in advance before the new century.

It's just that Kobe requires Bruce to nod himself in this transaction.

Even if he is making the deal privately and hiding Bruce from the deal.

If Bruce knew that after the Kobe trade, he wouldn't be able to stay in the position of general manager of the New York Hans, even if he left New York to become general manager of other teams.

The reason is simple. You are the boss. Do you want a senior manager who will stabbing you in the back at any time to be the general manager of the team?

Even if this person is capable, he can't ask for it. These bosses just want to find the kind of capable and obedient person to be the general manager.

And Kobe’s deal will definitely be stopped by the league. Stern is not an idiot. Now Kobe’s traffic is so large, which in itself meets his requirements for Kobe to increase traffic in metropolises to expand the NBA’s influence. Now you will Kobe traded, Stern will definitely call Bruce himself.

When Bruce knew that Mickey Kupchak secretly traded Kobe out, that would be when his doomsday came, how could he not know what kind of "urine sex" his prince had been serving for so long!

That was a "big yin person", and extremely "spicy".

Mickey Kupchak might be able to get the title of "Best General Manager" after trading for Kobe, while faintly sweating, the prince is really terrible, he dare not mess around!

"The prince is still wise, this time there are really a few teams that are offering too much price. Honestly, even I am in awe..."

Mickey Kupchak continued to slap the prince's flattery, it was still very fragrant, hehe...

"All talk, let me see what they can come up with to trade Kobe?"

When Bruce heard the price given by the other party that made Mickey Kupchak so excited, he was also interested right now. He wanted to know what you could pay for a Kobe...

It is of course impossible to trade Kobe, even if the price offered by the other party is so attractive, he will not take this set.

The reason why I'm still here to talk about this topic with Mickey Kupchak is that Bruce is full and has nothing to do, just listen to the gossip to pass the time, anyway, I don't have to go to school if I ask for leave in the morning.
