Legendary Basketball Tycoon

Wang Zhizhi is because he only has the strength as a substitute, so he really can't play in the starting lineup!

Of course, if Nelson had to arrange for one of Wang Zhizhi or Hu Weidong to start the match with Dayao's partner, then there would be no way. In a word, Bruce didn't want to see three Chinese players play together.

At this point, Bruce not only had a showdown with Nelson, but he even had to reassure Stern.

In fact, after Bruce assured Stern, Stern's face gradually calmed down a lot.

The three Huaguo players can't play together. He is afraid that Bruce will break the rules and regard the NBA as the Huaguo men's basketball team.

"In addition, Mark and Don Nelson are deadlocked. Mark means that he wants to add Don Nelson's coaching contract to this deal. Of course, I also need to come up with matching chips on my side!"

"Mr. President, you also know that since Coach Chuck Daley completely retired, the coaching position of the Hans has been vacant, and with Kobe leaving, the Hans now have no stars except Dayao, and If Coach Don Nelson comes to New York, he will definitely deliver results as soon as possible."

Bruce was calm on the surface, but he was actually quite nervous. Because he didn't know Stern would allow such a deal to happen.

Such a bizarre thing as trading a head coach has never happened in the history of the NBA.

Of course, there are still many strange transactions in NBA history, such as services in exchange for All-Star players.

In the 1981-1982 season, Don Booth was an All-Star player of the Pacers and had a good performance on the field. In 1983 the Blazers general manager wanted Don Booth. You must know that the then Pacers owner Sam Nassi was racking his brains to sell the team. At this time, the Blazers owner came up with a very strange solution. He traded himself to the Pacers for Dombos for the Blazers. The price of the trade was that he helped the Pacers sell the team. In the end, the Pacers were bought by the Simon Brothers for $4.5 million, which became one of the most bizarre deals in the NBA.

Of course, in the past life, there was still a case of changing coaches with first-round picks. (It just hasn't happened yet)

In 2013, the Celtics reached a deal with the Clippers, in which the Clippers traded their 2015 first-round pick for the Celtics' Jagged coach Doc Rivers.

Considering that it was the first time to change the coach, Bruce couldn't guarantee that Stern would pass. After all, it's too weird, and it's really unreliable to change coaches!

And Stern also went through the Han lineup in his mind after listening to Bruce's explanation.

Because he is in New York, Stern can still know which players are available on both teams in New York.

For a while, Stern could only smile helplessly.

Indeed, as Bruce said, after Kobe left, the Han people have no valuable players except Dayao. Mourning has already prepared for surgery due to kidney disease. He will definitely not be able to catch up in the new season. It's a problem. As for the other players of the Han Chinese team, it's really hard to get into his eyes!

If Dayao alone is supported, the new season of the Han Chinese is expected to be cold!

And if Old Nelson coaches the Han Chinese team, he might really be effective. You must know that Old Nelson's coaching ability is still relatively recognized. At least Old Nelson belongs to the kind of first-class head coach.

"Okay, I agree to this deal, but let's say it first, I don't allow you to let three Chinese players appear on the court at the same time, even if it's garbage time, as long as something like this happens, you'll be fine. Wait for the league's punishment!"

The ugly words should be said ahead, or else maybe Bruce will do something for him!

When Bruce heard Stern agreed, he was very happy. Bai won a famous coach from Cuban. Wouldn't he be happy to come back!

The rest is to consider whether the old Nelson can be compatible with Dayao.

"If you don't have anything else to do, get out of here, I'll be annoyed when I see you!" Stern ordered Bruce to evict him like a rat!

God knows how many hairs he gets white every time he "talks" to Bruce, even this little kid is so worried!

Bruce said indifferently, "seeyou, goodbye" and left happily!

…

The time has come to the eve of the draft.

On this day, a "special" guest came to the general manager's office of the New York Hans.

Who is it? !

Who else but old Nelson!

The reason for being a "special" guest is because the deal hasn't happened yet, so Nelson Sr. is still the head coach of the Mavericks.

This is very embarrassing. Old Nelson flew to New York for this point, so he definitely wasn't there to eat, chat, and entertain with you, right?

Bruce just stared at old Nelson in the office.

He was also very confused. He didn't know what the old Nelson was doing before the draft began. Was he preparing to accept the "nomination certificate"? !

The truth is exactly as Bruce thought. Old Nelson was furious when he learned that he was actually "traded" at Cuban, and after a roar, he was also stunned when he learned that he was "traded" to the Han Chinese team, you didn't watch it. To the expression of old Nelson at that time, it is really too classic!

To be honest, Old Nelson still "appreciates" Bruce, although he was tricked by Bruce once in the Warriors, and then again in the Mavericks. For this, Old Nelson admired Bruce very much, knowing that he can be so "playing" in the league. "He doesn't play many people, and it's interesting that Bruce managed to pull it off twice!

So the main purpose of coming to New York this time is to see what the little guy who cheated on him is thinking now.

Old Nelson knew that Bruce was particularly disgusted with the right of the team's head coach to intervene in the draft trade, but once he came over, it would be a problem for Bruce to let down these rights.

Everyone knows very well that the famous coaches in the NBA don't want rights, especially the rights to trade and draft.

Old Nelson has absolute rights in both the previous Warriors and the Mavericks. Although these transactions were made by the general manager of the team, in the opinion of Old Nelson, the general manager of the team is just a puppet display, and finally nodded. It's still him.

The Han Chinese team is different. To be precise, Bruce is different from any boss he has played for in the past. This is a "dictator" who likes to control everything.

This is not beautiful. Only the head coach knows what kind of player is in the team's position. It is not a good thing for you to be "dictatorial" by Bruce.

It can be said that old Nelson still pays close attention to Bruce's team in recent years. Bruce didn't say that when selecting candidates, his vision is indeed "unique", but trading is completely scumbag. Since the Han Chinese have never played in the knockout games over the years, it is very clear. .
