Legendary Basketball Tycoon

The opening game of the regular season of the 97-98 season is October 31. It is still very early before the first game of the Han Chinese. A lot of things can be done in two months.

Besides, after the head coach is changed, will the team change its style of play? Is there any tactical training? Bruce is not very concerned about it. After all, the main task of the team before 2000 was to run a good lineup. , To prepare for the establishment of a dynasty in the new century, so it doesn’t matter that even if the performance of the Han people in recent years is far less than before The improved defensive ability comes, and the performance is really not important.

"By the way Mickey, how about the players?!" Bruce asked indifferently.

In fact, some time ago, Bruce really didn't put much thought on the team. After all, he had to take the TOEFL test some time ago and set up a branch on Hong Kong Island. He really didn't have time to take care of these things.

But now it is different. Now that I have returned to New York, some things have been changed.

Taking advantage of the effort of the Han people to change the management and change the head coach, it is reasonable to dispose of some of the team's players.

"This..." Mickey Kupchak is indeed a bit hard to tell, after all, he hasn't done a good job in the arrangement of the players.

"What's the matter?!" Bruce's expression gradually cooled.

It seems that something has happened to the players, so that Mitch Kupchak hesitated.

"Prince prince, this is the case. Clifford Robinson has left the team this year when his contract expires. Glen Rice wants to go to the league championship team. I tried to chat with Glenn. Glenn he He has a firm attitude and must leave the team."

"The next one is Dell Curry. Through your communication with the prince, Dell Curry is sure to leave the team freely after the new season. The contract with Dell expires after the new season and Buck Williams , Buck also chose to retire after playing this season. As for whether Buck will stay with the team as an inside coach after retiring, he hasn't thought about it yet, so he didn't reply to me."

"In the end, it was Kevin Garnett. I was going to sign with Kevin in advance. Even the contract was ready. A 6-year contract of 71 million yuan, but Kevin refused to renew the contract with the team." Mickey was finished. Kupchak didn't dare to look at Bruce.

The rest of the team is okay, and the deal is traded, but Garnett’s contract renewal issue is the most troublesome. Mickey Kupchak doesn’t know how important Garnett is to the team. It’s actually Garnett. I am very determined and reluctant to renew the contract with the Han people. What do you say? !

"Kevin is still not satisfied with the 6-year 71 million contract?!" Bruce's tone gradually became angry.

From watching the NBA in his previous life, Bruce has hated those stars who forced the management of the palace the most. The ball is not playing well, and there are quite a lot of demands. It is not for the management to trade the role players who can help to win the championship, or to ask for big contracts, etc. .

These are the things that Bruce can't tolerate most, and the fact that Garnett asked the team for a big contract in his rookie season has already made Bruce dissatisfied, but now the team has given Garnett such a big contract and he is still not satisfied. This is a bit unreasonable, even if Bruce knows that Garnett is ranked among the top four in history in power forward position.

In fact, Bruce has already thought about the treatment of the superstars in the team. The renewal is basically based on the salary of the existing stars in the league. For example, Kobe, Kobe’s renewal is a reference. Iverson’s value comes from what kind of contract the SuperSonics gave Iverson, what kind of contract the same Han will give Kobe.

Even at the end of Kobe's career, he will not renew Wade with a shameful offer like Pat Riley, and Super Giant should not be treated like this.

At least on Bruce's side.

And Garnett’s current 6-year contract of 71 million yuan is also quite high, which is equivalent to more than 11 million in one year. He is already a top salary at the position of power forward, and his salary is not as good as those of super centers (four major centers). ) Well, the inside line is also considered to be a grade, and it is absolutely right to Garnett's worth.

But now Garnett is still unwilling to renew the contract, which is a bit unreasonable, and Bruce is also angry about it.

"Prince prince, in fact, he is very satisfied with the team's 6-year 71 million contract with Kevin. The reason why he is unwilling to renew the contract with the team is..." Mitch Kupchak was a little afraid to say.

"Kobe?!"

Since Garnett is not because of the big contract salary given to him by the team, then there is only one problem, and that is Kobe.

It's not that Bruce didn't know the contradiction between Kobe and Garnett, but Bruce didn't expect the relationship between Garnett and Kobe to be so bad. Now it's not pleasing to the other party, right?

"Yes, it's because of Kobe. Kevin means that Kobe is the core of the team, and he also wants to be the core of the team. In Kevin's view, he doesn't lose much of Kobe. From his performance in the playoffs, It can be seen that with him and without him, the team's performance is worlds apart, so Kevin feels that he can also play a central role in the tactics of other teams instead of choosing to be a role player..." Mickey Kupchak replied slowly.

In fact, this is indeed the case. Kobe's dominance in the regular season is indeed very strong, but Kobe was suspended in the playoffs, which led to the Han Chinese in the next game with no chance of winning, but even so, Garnett can still carry the team forward. This is the strength. It can be said that Garnett's performance in the series against the Heat is really surprising. It takes a person to mess with the Heat's inside. How strong is it? Only strength can do it!

And Garnett did it, which led to a skyrocketing confidence in Garnett. Why can Kobe enjoy the team’s unlimited firing power and tactical core position but he can’t do it. He may not be worse than Kobe. These people Didn't you see your performance in the playoffs? !

Someone really saw it. Other teams in this non-league also communicated privately through Garnett's agent. This led to the reason why the Hans opened a big contract and Garnett would rather give up and leave.

The Hans will definitely not trade Kobe, so good, here does not leave the master’s own place, it’s better to change a team, so Garnett forced the team by refusing to renew the contract. He stayed for three years and waited until the fourth year to execute the team option, or he was traded away in advance. Anyway, Garnett won't suffer, and at most he will play for Kobe for a year.
