Legendary Basketball Tycoon

Larry Tanebaum’s chances of trying to trade to the top three are too slim, unless the Raptors are bleeding a lot with the first round of the next few years. The first round of the deal is about the same, but looking at the final ranking of the regular season this year, Bruce does not think Who is willing to be taken advantage of.

Bruce still has the confidence to say that. Even if a team is willing to sign the second place in the trade, it will be a big deal for the Hans to trade with the Sonics. Anyway, it is just a rookie that is not a big problem, as long as it does not send all-star players. Tern would also open one eye and close the other.

On the other side, Larry Tanebaum’s face really doesn’t look good. Of course he can hear Bruce’s sarcasm. He just looks down on him. In fact, Larry Tanebaum doesn’t know what to do, because The result he fears most is that the Celtics get the second pick, which means that there is no possibility of trading to the second pick. The relationship between the Raptors and the Celtics is as early as "Cardinal" Arnold O. Erbach’s riot in the league caused the league to take back the second pick that had already belonged to the Raptors. It has become a hostile relationship. The so-called cutting off money is like killing parents. If you change the second pick to the fourth pick, you say he is Larry. Does Tannerbaum have no other thoughts in his mind? There must be some, but "Cardinal" Arnold Auerbach is so famous that he can't fight it by himself, otherwise he must come back with revenge.

"Bruce, or else I will trade with you for the post-2000 lottery?!" Larry Tanebaum asked unwillingly.

The Golden State Warriors' unprotected first-round pick in 1998 is too important for the Raptors. If they don’t get it, it will delay the Raptors’ rise. This is obviously not acceptable. You must know that the Raptors will take three years. If you can’t get results, the future will be really difficult. The Raptors are not a team in American cities. So in terms of the basketball atmosphere, they must be inferior to other teams in the league. As far as the Han people are concerned, so are the Han people. They only entered the league in 1992. They really haven’t achieved much in the past few years. Don’t forget that the Han Chinese are backed by the metropolis of New York. Are you afraid that there will be no chance to attract more stars to join!

But Toronto is different. Canada is dominated by ice hockey, and basketball is not as good as other major leagues. This is also a headache for Larry Tanebaum.

Originally, if the Golden State Warriors had their unprotected sign in the first round of 1998, the Raptors might be able to score as quickly as possible to attract more fans, but now the Bruce is reluctant to take it out, what do you say? !

"Mr. Larry, let me say it again. Don’t think of me as a fool. The Raptors hold three outstanding players: Steve Nash, Michael Olowokandy, and Vince Carter. Tell me after 2000. What's the use for me when the time comes, three of them will have a chance to get the top three picks in the Raptors?!" Bruce replied scornfully.

It’s funny. If these three players are combined, if they are coached by Paul Westphal, their half-selling and half-delivery coach, it will be difficult not to enter the Western Conference playoffs, not to mention that the Raptors have already changed their blood since 2000. It succeeded, and the Raptors at that time definitely did not have any bargaining chips to trade. So Bruce must be reluctant to do it.

Bruce didn’t see Larry Tanebaum’s face. If he saw it, it would be wonderful. At this moment, Larry Tanebaum’s face was red, not the red one of anger, but it was exposed. Kind of embarrassing red.

Larry Tanebaum also knows that Bruce is not so easily fooled, but he is really unwilling to give up!

"Bruce, shall we stop talking?!"

"Forget it, Larry, I don’t want to be entangled with you all the time on this issue. Actually, I said that your brain won’t turn. You won’t take the fourth pick this year to make a fuss and trade with other teams. Change some high-quality players and then trade the lottery with other teams next year. Why don't you just stare at the Golden State Warriors' unprotected first-round pick in 1998?!" Bruce began to lure the opponent into the game.

He wanted to lure Larry Tanebaum into this for a long time. If Chauncey Billups didn’t pick the top three, wouldn’t the Raptors have a chance to pick it? Then the SuperSonics Players can be traded with the Raptors. This is also a win-win situation. The Raptors can get high-quality players for next year's lottery, and the Supersonics have the "brain" Chauncey Billup. S.

Bruce will never let go of such a good opportunity. He must persuade Larry Tanebaum to keep his No. 4 pick, and then he will have the opportunity to pick Chauncey Billups, even Chauncey Billups. It's okay for Billups to become a tango like his previous life. The big deal is that Bruce will let the Sonics find the team that selected Chauncey Billups for a deal, and the Raptors will still not suffer, right? !

Larry Tanebaum nodded after listening. He also thought it was feasible. He didn't have to worry about the Golden State Warriors' unprotected first-round pick in 1998. There is still a year left. The team can trade for some high-quality players to trade with other teams next year, and as long as the price is right, they can still get the lottery lottery they want!

"Well, let's do as you said. The New York Hans took out Steve Nash + Dallas Mavericks' 99 first-round pick and the Toronto Raptors traded the 2003 first-round unprotected pick, so let's go!" Li Tanebaum said helplessly.

He is considered to have served Bruce. This kid is too shrewd and has no chance to get extra things from him. In the future, it is better to keep contact with such people.

"OK, happy cooperation!"

"Happy cooperation!"

"Oh, by the way, I would like to remind you, if you can't trade the lottery next year, I will give you a chance?!" Bruce pretended to be mysterious.

"What opportunity?!" Larry Tanebaum was obviously curious about Bruce.

"I will let my team provide you with the opportunity to choose a quality player in 1999!" Bruce replied with a sinister smile.

In fact, the reason why Bruce gave the Raptors the opportunity to choose a high-quality player was to win over Larry Tanebaum. Before he could get the first three picks in 2003, he had to build a good relationship with the other party. Otherwise, what will Larry Tanebaumyin do? You must know that in the 2003 NBA Draft, he was looking at Carmelo Anthony. With this New York player who has to shake his head, he played in the Han Chinese. It means that Bruce is naturally equipped with a bodyguard-level figure, which will not be dealt with by the local gang for the truth about his going out in New York in the future.

Larry Tanebaum immediately heard that Blues would let his team provide the Raptors with this opportunity to choose a quality player. It should be known that the rookies selected by the Hans over the years are extremely good players, most of them are All-star level, well now, Bruce has said everything for this purpose, which means that the Raptors are likely to have an All-star player joining the team, which is a good thing for the Raptors!
