Legendary Basketball Tycoon

As for letting the Toronto Raptors listen to their own mischief in 2002, it can only be a private verbal promise with Larry Tanebaum, or a verbal promise. If they are known, they must not be provoked. What a big deal!

Of course everyone might think that the draft pick can still be overdrawn for so long? !

The answer is yes!

The healthy development of the NBA is due to its sound mechanism. In order to allow the teams not to overdraw the future too much, the seven-year rule came into being.

The seven-year rule means that the team can only send away draft picks in the next seven years in the transaction involved. This is easier to understand. The transaction involved can be a single transaction or multiple transactions, but the first-round picks after 7 years cannot be traded.

So if you start counting from this year, that is, 1997, then it happens to be stuck in the seven-year rule in 2003.

Of course, Bruce didn't expect it to be such a coincidence. If more than seven years, then he can only change the first round of the Toronto Raptors in 2001.

"As far as these two conditions are, I think this is all the price I can offer! You can think about it!"

If Larry Tannenbaum is unwilling to trade or even violated his private promises after the trade, then Bruce would dare to "block" the Toronto Raptors directly in the league. In addition to the Hans and the Sonics, Bruce They will also join forces with Jordan’s Hornets and Cuban’s Mavericks to stop trading the Toronto Raptors on players and signings. This is just one of them. What's more, Bruce plans to discredit the Toronto Raptors in Canada. Let it smell completely.

Bruce has always been fooling people, and I haven't seen Bruce being fooled. As long as Larry Tanebaum dares to "anti-water", Bruce dares to retaliate. In the league, it is not unreasonable that Bruce will retaliate against him.

"Bruce, can you tell me who are you going to take our Toronto Raptors' 2003 first round pick?! I really want to know!"

In fact, Larry Tanebaum basically agrees with the proposal submitted by Bruce, because he thinks he still made a profit from trading the Toronto Raptors this way. It is a profit to trade 3 for 1. As for Bruce, he wants to sign in the first round of 2003. That must be his ulterior motive. There must be a very good player that Bruce wants. Larry Tanebaum is also very curious about this. He wants to know what year Bruce wants to be. Who to choose.

"I can't comment on this. How could I tell you if this involves confidentiality?! How do you think about it?!"

When it comes to the question of whether Carmelo Anthony can be selected by the Chinese, Bruce dare not disclose it to others.

"In this case, I don't force you to say it. Of course, I need to discuss your trading plan with my team. If the final transaction is not successful, it's not a big deal, but it's still the same sentence. I hope to continue working with you."

Larry Tanebaum did not say anything to death. After all, although he himself is an M&A expert, he is still a lot worse when it comes to understanding the rules of the game in the NBA. The so-called professional people do professional things and trade draft picks. It should be the uniform team of the team to be in charge, so he needs to ask the professionals for their opinions. If they think it is feasible, they will trade. If it doesn't work, they will just refuse. What a simple thing!

"That's okay. I'm waiting for your reply at any time. Oh, yes, even if the business fails, I believe you will not disclose the plan I want you to make a mess in 2002 to your team or others. Right!"

It's better for Bruce to think about it for a while and say hello in advance. In case Larry Tanebaum goes to talk to his team about it, Stern knows that it must be too much to eat!

Of course, Bruce would definitely not admit it then, but a fool would admit it!

"Understand, I will rot in my stomach and I will never say it!"

Bruce’s characteristic of "retribution to the canthus" is known to the entire league. At this time, Larry Tanebaum dare not risk the world. If Bruce retaliates against him, it would be miserable. Although he is in Canada and doesn’t bother him, Bruce It is conceivable that Bruce has a lot of energy in the league to allow Stern to reject them when he first formed a team in Canada.

Besides, Paul Allen, Bruce's "godfather", is not a vegetarian, and the American billionaire would not blink his eyes when he wiped out him.

So Larry Tanebaum didn't dare to offend Bruce even if the cooperation was unsuccessful. At most, he wouldn't have regular contact with Bruce in the future.

"That's good, if it's nothing, then that's it first!"

Bruce is not going to talk nonsense with Larry Tanebaum.

"Okay, let's do that first, Bruce, let's contact later, bye!"

Larry Tanebaum now also wants to immediately go to his team to discuss whether the deal Bruce said is feasible.

"Mr. Larry, goodbye!"

After hanging up the phone, Bruce also completely relaxed. He can't care about the fact that the Han Chinese won in the New York "Derby" in the end. To be honest, he is still in the mind of the kind of person sitting at home with prizes from the sky. , If Larry Tanebaum can really agree to this deal, then the lineup of the Hans in the new century will be incredible.

The combination of Billups + Kobe + Anthony + Gasol + Yao Ming, I rely on, this is going to fly!

Bruce only needs to wait until 2003 to realize his dream of being an all-star. This lineup is invincible. At least in NBA history, there is absolutely no team with this lineup, except for the ranked "Devil King". "Shen Buddha Shark" can't provoke others, the others can be crushed at will. Of course, this refers to the kind that the league team has collected by themselves, not the random row of the media!

It is said that Larry Tanebaum actually wants Nash, and he still uses the second pick to change it. This makes Bruce completely unexpected. If only for the current Nash, he can only be worth one lottery, second place. The pick is indeed a bit of a high regard for him, but if Nash can have the level of his previous life in the future, then the Toronto Raptors' second pick is indeed in line with his worth.

But the most troublesome thing is the relationship between Kobe and Nash. This really makes Bruce a headache. If Kobe didn’t happen, it would make sense to trade for Nash, but because of the incident, Bruce had to consider Kobe. It’s ridiculous, isn’t it ridiculous that the owner of a team still considers the mood of the players? That’s incredible! But Bruce did just that, and that's what Kobe thought about. If you switch to someone else and let him die!

Here Bruce not only greeted all the members of the Bath family silently, if it weren't for them, then why is he here!

Bruce took out a document from the drawer on the desk, opened it for a while, closed it, and threw it on the desk.

This information is exactly what the team general manager Mitch Kupchak faxed to him about Kobe's targeting during the All-Star Rookie Challenge. It can be said that the content inside is shocking, making Bruce extremely angry after reading it!

Wait for the Buss family, I will get this account back sooner or later!
