Legendary Basketball Tycoon

Bruce, who was drinking Coke, almost squirted Coke after hearing this so-called "Bruce Law"...

Bruce was also dumbfounded.

"The Law of Bruce", good guy, you can also make a name in the history of the NBA!

Name a rule after the boss, and Bruce is also second.

In the history of the NBA, most of them are named after the players' names...

Such as the Byrd Clause, Payton Clause, Barkley's Law and so on.

Here everyone wants to ask who is the first big immortal who rules by the name of the boss?

In the 1980s, the owner of the Cleveland Cavaliers, Ted Stepin, was the first person to go down in the history of the NBA under the name of the owner.

It was this "Taiping" brother who sold out his Cavaliers' future draft picks through a series of actions, but a decent player has not been traded back. This is not a fool!

As a result, the league forced the "Peace" brother to sell the Cavaliers, and he was considered the predecessor of the Clippers "wonderful" Donald Sterling. They were all forced to sell the team by the league.

Seeing this, everyone will definitely ask, what does the Stepping Law mean?

Simply, it can be summed up in one sentence: the team cannot sell the first-round picks for two consecutive years.

This is why we can often see that transactions are made every other year, and the team must have one year of draft picks in these two years, and never see a team participating in the draft for two consecutive years.

What a wonderful thing, this "Taiping" brother made NBA history, and Bruce also made history.

It's just that the former was forced out of the alliance, while the latter is still at large in the alliance!

...

After a while, Bruce couldn't help laughing bitterly. He really didn't know whether he should be proud or ashamed. Although it was a matter of history, why did he always feel disgusting?

Use him to educate future generations?

As soon as this rule comes out, those bosses, coaches and fans in the future will think that Bruce is a fool like "Stepin's Law"!

"There is nothing else? Is there just such a rule?"

Obviously, this rule is also coming to Bruce. With the current level of supervision of the league, Bruce will never get so many unprotected picks next time.

Mitch Kupchak nodded helplessly.

Nima, the big deal is that I trade players, anyway, no one prevents me from having the fun of draft picks.

Mickey Kupchak is still more worried about Bruce's impulsiveness when he is young, and fighting the league.

"Don't talk about it, Mickey, come to us to discuss the list of players for this season."

"That old guy Riley didn't think I just let it go, did he?"

"It's time to find him out."

When Mitch Kupchak heard that Bruce was planning to retaliate against Pat Riley, his face was ashamed, and he thought to himself.

"Prince prince, you can always relax, Riley can't deal with it."

Bruce took the list of players on the table and carefully discussed it with Mitch Kupchak.

Today, the New York Hans have basically changed their lineup, and their strength has improved significantly.

It can be seen from the configuration of each position:

Center forward: Alonzo Mourning, Sam Perkins, Bisson Deler

Because Mourning is still recovering from his injury, Perkins can stand up during Mourning's absence, and Dele's words may be traded.

Power forward: Chris Gatling, Terry Mills

The two players may only be able to keep one, of course, if there are suitable players, both can also be traded out.

Small forwards: Anfenni Hardaway, Robert Horry, Bruce Bowen

Hardaway can play both forward guard and point guard, but he is tentatively set as a small forward for the new season, Horry and Bowen are fully qualified for the bench.

Shooting guards: Hu Weidong, Marek Siri

Because Hu Weidong needs to participate in the 1993 Asian Championships, he will be temporarily absent. At that time, Hardaway will return to a familiar position and Xili will continue to be a good substitute.

Point guards: Avery Johnson, Robert Parker

Needless to say, Johnson will definitely stay on the team and Parker will be traded away.

...

After Bruce finally got this list, he thought about it and decided to call Paul Westphal. After all, the commanding team is the head coach, and some players need more playing time.

As soon as Paul Westphal arrived, the three immediately began to rebuild the team.

"Prince, I don't think there is any need to trade. With regard to the players on this list, I am confident to build the team into the playoffs!"

Mickey Kupchak also nodded aside more approvingly.

Yes, judging from this list, I'm really sorry for Bruce's operation if he doesn't make the playoffs.

But if he really wants to make the playoffs, Bruce will definitely miss Grant Hill.

Although Hill was a quasi-"glass man" in his previous life, like Hardaway, the geniuses of the Suns were brought back by Bruce. This can increase their athletic careers!

But seeing that Paul Westphal is so ambitious, Bruce also sighed, let's get Grant Hill through a trade at that time!

But the deal is still a deal, and it's impossible for Bruce not to report Riley's hatred.

"Coach Paul, I need Oakley to come to the team. The current team is too young and needs a veteran. Oakley can play on the bench like Perkins."

Paul Westphal knows that team deals shouldn’t be the masters, but he still has to say something in advance: “Okley still has the strength, but he has a hot temper. It’s easy to fight on the court. I’m afraid I can’t control it.” .

This is not Paul Westphal's arrogant self-defeating, is it true that this kind of thing will happen, is it rare that NBA players play coaches or contradict them?

Of course Bruce knew that Oakley was not easy to discipline, but he had never heard of him causing conflicts in the locker room in his previous life.

Bruce still gave Paul Westphal the privilege, that is, no one in the team can provoke the authority of the coach on the court. When necessary, Paul Westphal can directly put the player into injury. On the list, Mitch Kupchak will be traded.

With Bruce's assurance, Paul Westphal feels much more comfortable, at least no one dares to challenge his majesty.

"Mickey, call Riley and I want Oakley."

After hearing this, Mitch Kupchak also started calling Riley.

Riley was still on vacation and frowned when he heard the phone rang.

There must be a team that wants to trade.

After receiving the call, the brow frowned even more, because the team that is least likely to trade with the Knicks actually wants to trade with the Knicks?

Is the sun coming out from the west?

What the **** is Bruce doing?

After listening patiently to Mitch Kupchak's transaction, Riley thought for a while and refused. He didn't want to get Bruce now.

Especially he still has the lingering memory of what Bruce said in the All-Star Game, this little **** will not be so out of nothing, he will definitely do something, or even if this trade has begun...

Riley didn't dare to bet, and didn't want to get too involved with Bruce.

After Mitch Kupchak put down the phone, he shook his head to Bruce and said, "He refused."

"Oh, hehe, interesting, really interesting."

Bruce gave a sinister smile, and the "two generals" next to him looked straight.

It's kind of daring to refuse Lao Tzu, but the show has just begun.
