Legendary Basketball Tycoon

Bruce finally put the file back in the drawer. It’s not that he doesn’t want to retaliate, but now he really doesn’t have so much energy to deal with this matter. Well, he is about to graduate from the exam. Although the exam for elementary school students will not be too difficult, but The content of the exam for studying abroad in the United States is still relatively difficult, and he must also seize all the time to review it. These two are the kind that he currently lacks money, which is extremely lacking, if it is not borrowed from Paul Allen. He has no funds to gamble.

So now he can only endure not to retaliate against the Bath family for the time being. Of course, those who come out will always have to pay it back. This matter is not so easy to end. Now it is just to paralyze the opponent, waiting for him. After the money was made, it was when he started to exert his strength.

As for the party concerned, if Kobe sees this information, it is not what Bruce cares about. Bruce can imagine that if he sees it, he will definitely hate the Lakers. He will definitely not play for the Lakers in his life, even if he wants to go. Los Angeles will also join the Clippers, a city rival to fight the Lakers.

...

Bruce thought for a while and decided to tell Mitch Kupchak first, or if the Toronto Raptors sent someone to contact Nash, then Mitch Kupchak might open the door to convenience!

Find the rich man and call Mickey Kupchak.

"Mickey, what are you doing?!"

Without directly talking about Nash first, Bruce now wants to know whether Mickey Kupchak did his duty during his absence.

"Oh, good evening, the prince, I am still here in the team office to confirm the eight-person protection list. Is there anything you need to tell you when you call?!"

Mitch Kupchak is really busy with the Hans. He must confirm the list of eight people as soon as possible, and then report it to Bruce, because the establishment of the Toronto Raptors makes the Hans have to report the list. Go up, so that the Toronto Raptors can choose the remaining players based on the eight-man roster that the Hans have determined to protect.

He didn't expect Bruce to call at this time, thinking that Bruce called him because of something to tell him!

"Oh, are you sure which ones are you?! I hear if it is the same as I expected!"

There are not many good employees who are conscientious. Bruce also wants to know if his good employee is the same as his eight-person protection list.

"Prince prince, I think so. This eight-man roster is related to the future of the team. First of all, the five starters must be included in this roster. In addition, I am also planning to select three players from the bench. They are Sam Perkins, Dale Curry, and Mark Jackson."

In fact, this kind of 8-man protection list is basically a starter plus three substitutes, unless there is a situation where the team leaves a seemingly appealing player outside the protection list, and the team hopes Use the player’s age, high wages and other factors to scare off the new team. In this way, you can protect a player you think is more likely to lose but you don't want to lose. Sometimes, the team puts on a high-priced player, hoping to get rid of in the expansion draft.

Of course, such a situation is still rare, after all, there is no reason for such a high-quality player to be cheap to the new team, right?

Another situation is that in order to prevent the new team from selecting their own players, the first way for some old teams is to give high-paid players or junk contract players. Whether it is a high-paid player or a junk contract player, they will have an impact on the salary space of the new team. Of course, it is not ruled out that the old team wants to take the opportunity to get rid of the big contracts of these players to clear up the salary space.

The second way is to give older players. For new teams, they need potential newcomers. If they choose older players, it will not help much in the future growth of their record. So new teams tend to avoid teams with older players.

Of course, the Hans actually did the same in the expansion draft of the year. They chose the kind of young players to join the team. Anyway, it was impossible to achieve good results in the previous few seasons, so they can only slowly get high through the poor. Select high-quality rookies to supplement the team's strength.

Therefore, this expansion draft is more demanding of the brains of the team's management personnel. These high-levels must make the kind of choice that not only fulfills the predetermined goal but not harms the interests of the team.

"Mickey, so you chose three veterans, right?!"

In fact, Mickey Kupchak's choice can be said to coincide with Bruce, because Bruce also thinks so, but he will not tell Mickey Kupchak about his eight-man protection list now.

Bruce doesn’t want a puppet to sit in the position of the Han Chinese general manager. If this is the case, then no matter who it is, even if the opponent doesn’t understand the NBA, they just need to listen to Bruce’s words, but they can actually make the ball. The general manager of the team is not stupid. They are all very shrewd and ambitious. Bruce likes such a person. It’s better to be shrewd and ambitious. It’s easier to master, isn’t it? If he arranges a fool to come over, Bruce doesn’t find it very challenging. !

But I still have to congratulate Mickey Kupchak, congratulations to him for passing the test of Bruce, Mickey Kupchak, the general manager of the Han people, is very competent in this position, Mickey Kupchak did not let Bruce down, not in vain. Bruce brought him back to New York from Los Angeles.

"Yes, the prince, I think so..."

Next, Mitch Kupchak told the Bruce some of his suggestions for the future of the Han Chinese team. It was nothing more than taking the old to bring the new and using the experience of the veteran to help the team strive for good results. Mickey Ku Pucek was talking bluntly, but he could only roll his eyes in Bruce.

In fact, Bruce's idea of ​​adding these three veterans is very simple. It is not worth it. There is no need to give these players who have contributed to the team to the Canadians in vain!

Sam Perkins will not say anything. It can be said that he is a player who has accompanied the team's growth since the establishment of the Han. It is not an exaggeration to say that he is the big brother in the dressing room. He has a relationship with everyone in the team. They are all very good. If such a player who has been following the team and contributing to the team is placed outside the 8-man protection list, Bruce himself can't forgive himself!

Then there is Mark Jackson. Bruce also just thought of Mark Jackson. If Larry Tanebaum wants to bring Nash back to Canada, then Mark Jackson must stay, because according to Bruce's understanding, it is a past life. The reason why Chauncey Billups was traded to the Toronto Raptors by the Celtics in the new season is because he performed so badly that he did not match the strength of the prospective lottery. This made the Celtics head coach at the time. K. Pitino was kicked away, but those who are familiar with Chauncey Billups know that he is the kind of late bloomer, so keeping Mark Jackson at this time is to let him teach Chauncey Billups. Yes, I believe that Chauncey Billups taught by Mark Jackson will get rid of the title of "Small-Fashion Searching" in the previous life!
