I am so Accurate

Chapter 342 Intrigue

Cuban froze for a moment.

He didn't expect old Nelson's reaction to be so strong.

This attitude is much tougher than when he said he wanted to trade Nash.

But he didn't quarrel with Old Nelson directly.

Today is different.

After the old Nelson led the Mavericks to win the first championship in team history, both the team's low position and his status in his heart are very different from those in history.

He still wanted to listen to old Nelson's opinion.

However, he didn't intend to just give up.

In fact, in addition to his true love for Nowitzki, he also admires Kobe very much, and it can even be said that he is a little enthusiastic.

Especially in the regular season that year, he watched Kobe complete a three-pointer with his left hand in front of his eyes from the sidelines.

At that moment, he felt that the greatest athlete in the world was nothing more than that!

Although Jordan intentionally or unintentionally put Sun Hao at the top of the top five shooting guards before, Kobe is closer to Jordan in his eyes, no matter in terms of size, style of play, or even personality.

Of course, there is another very important point, Kobe is an American.

This might sound weird, but it's completely normal when you think about it.

Imagine if the CBA completely liberalized the foreign aid policy and let you choose the core of the team.

JR Smith and Yi Jianlian, or Tracy McGrady and Yao Ming, who do you prefer to choose as the signboard of your own team, the answer is obvious.

When there is no choice, the steamed buns are delicious, but when there is a choice, people will definitely choose what they want to eat.

"Don, we traded Steve before, and you didn't agree with it at the time, but we won the championship after that, and now we trade Sun, we still have a chance to win the championship back. We have to look forward to many things."

Cuban drew an analogy with Nash.

"That's different!"

Old Nelson had a violent temper, but Zhuge Nelson, you can tell from the game between him and Popovich that his brain is active.

Compared with Nash, Sun Hao does not have the fatal flaw of defense, and Sun Hao has already proved himself in the playoffs and finals!

Cuban's statement is a sneaky change of concept, which is equivalent to throwing all the responsibility for the Mavericks' failure to defend their title last season to Sun Hao in disguise.

"Mark, we can't win that championship without Sun. He is the FMVP. If you send him away, what do Dallas fans think?"

After old Nelson restrained his temper, he looked at Cuban earnestly and said.

Having been with Anne in Switzerland for a year, his violent temper has subsided a lot.

This time it was Cuban's turn to be silent.

What Old Nelson said is indeed a problem.

"And you don't know how Kobe and Dirk will get along. They get along well and say, what if they don't get along well? Are you wronging Dirk?"

Old Nelson is also smart, grasping the point that Cuban cares about the most.

"Let me think about it again."

Cuban doesn't think so about this sentence. Nowitzki belongs to the kind that can get along well with anyone, and he will definitely have no problem with Kobe.

But old Nelson's attitude and the fans' thoughts are what he cares about.

He knows that the football market that the team has painstakingly managed over the past few years is not easy, so more consideration must be given to this aspect.

Seeing that Cuban had changed his mind, Nelson didn't continue to press.

There is no need to talk too much about this kind of thing, an attitude is actually enough.

"I'm back and we're going to get the title back."

Old Nelson spoke before leaving.

Cuban froze for a moment, nodded with a smile.

...

Little Buss didn't wait for Cuban's call and was a little anxious.

Over there, Kobe began to press again.

According to media reports, Kobe has already completed the meeting with the Bulls, and both sides feel very good after the meeting.

According to sources familiar with the Bulls, Bryant has a strong tendency to go to Chicago.

You must know that it can be seen from Kobe's actions that he is the number one Jordan honey.

Under this premise, there is nothing more meaningful than going to Chicago to inherit No. 23.

He chewed his gum, hesitating whether to call West.

But in the end he still didn't fight.

It would appear that he was incompetent if he turned to West for everything.

And he knows West's character, if he keeps asking, what he hears may not be the truth.

After thinking about it, he came up with another idea.

"You say, how about we tell Michael the news?"

Little Bass looked straight at Kupchak and said.

"Michael? The Wizards?"

Kupchak stared blankly at little Bass, a little confused.

"You think, Michael has quoted prices to us more than once. He is the person who wants to get Sun the most. If he also joins, then Cuban will definitely compare prices, and we will have an advantage at that time."

The angle of thinking of Bass Jr. is very novel.

However, this is a common method in sales.

It’s like, when you go shopping, you don’t intend to buy clothes, but if the same product is sold in two neighbors, and both of them sell to you at the same time, you will instinctively buy the cheap one.

If the Wizards also join Sun Hao's pursuit, then Cuban will definitely compare prices.

"What if the Wizards have better chips than us?"

Kupchak couldn't help asking.

"No, Mark Cuban loves Kobe more than T-mac."

On this point, Bass Jr. is very confident.

If the Wizards haven't traded with the Magic, then the Wizards' bargaining chip will have some temptation for Cuban.

"Little Sun Hao" Arenas, plus Mobley or Hamilton, Cuban may prefer that.

But now the Wizards have traded their chips for McGrady.

No matter what other additions are added, the main body is the comparison between McGrady and Kobe.

In this comparison, Cuban will definitely choose Kobe.

Kupchak nodded, and sometimes Bass's ideas really made him admire.

After explaining to Kupchak, Buzz Jr. put two more pieces of chewing gum into his mouth.

This is actually a gamble.

More teams entering the field also means that Sun Hao's value will increase.

It is even possible that after Cuban found out that Sun Hao's transaction value was so high, he did not want to trade.

But this is the NBA's trading market, and it's a psychological game.

...

washington.

Jordan was resting at home, smoking a cigar with his arms around the girl, when suddenly he received a call.

It was an insider on the phone who revealed to him that the Lakers were talking to the Mavericks about Sun Hao's trade.

After hearing this, Jordan pushed the girl away, put the cigar in the ashtray, and picked up the phone.

He called Cuban.

...

Cuban, who was struggling, was puzzled when he saw that it was Jordan's call, but after he picked it up, he heard such a passage.

"Mark, except for Yao, you can choose the rest of my team."

Come again! !

Cuban felt a little crazy after hearing this sentence.

First is Bass, then Jordan, Sun Hao is so popular?

Could it be that in their eyes, Sun Hao is worth so much more than Kobe or McGrady?

For a moment, Cuban didn't want to trade Sun Hao out.

Isn't it delicious to give it to others and keep it for yourself?

But soon, another voice sounded in his mind.

The reason why the sweet pastry becomes the sweet pastry is because it is at this time node.

McGrady doesn't want that much. Leading the team to a 19-game losing streak is unreasonable for a super giant.

But Kobe, when he really went to the Bulls, the Mavericks just wanted to trade Sun Hao, and they probably wouldn't be able to.

It's the same as you play 2K snatch free agent.

Chance, maybe just once.

Slowly, Cuban's idea of ​​changing overwhelmed the idea of ​​not changing.

What the old Nelson said does need to be considered, but it is all solvable.

Kobe + Nowitzki, this combination sounds very exciting.

The problem now is how to convince old Nelson.

He knew old Nelson's temper, and it was possible for old Nelson to give up if he was really upset.

So in the end, his reply to Jordan was the same as his reply to Bass Jr. before.

"I need to think about it."

Jordan didn't ask any more questions.

Thinking about it, and directly refusing, are two completely different meanings.

If Sun Hao can really be exchanged, everything will be worth it.

On the one hand, he has a lot of contact with Sun Hao and knows Sun Hao's talent and potential, otherwise he would not put Sun Hao at the top of the top five shooting guards.

Of course, there is also Sun Hao's vision of seeing people, which can give the Wizards a big advantage in future drafts.

On the other hand, the combination of Sun Hao and Yao Ming has been proved to be feasible in the World Championships. With a lineup like the Chinese team, they both won the third place in the World Championships. If they lead the Wizards, the probability of winning the championship is even greater!

As for other role players, the most indispensable thing in this league is role players.

Not to mention how much return the Wizards can get from the Chinese market with two Chinese players, Sun Hao and Yao Ming, at the same time.

Now he wished that he was the owner of the Wizards. In that case, he could earn much more money than he endorsed sneakers.

Jordan is waiting in yy.

On the other side, Little Buss was also waiting.

They all waited for a day, and Cuban didn't reply.

Little Bass couldn't sit still at first.

Kobe has already completed the meeting with the Clippers.

Judging from the information disclosed by informed sources, Kobe's tendency to go to the Clippers is even stronger than the Bulls before.

The main reason for this result is naturally because the Clippers are in Los Angeles.

Kobe can still be the king of his Los Angeles.

This is much more than the threat of going to the Bulls before.

Because the Lakers' ball market and status in Los Angeles may be affected.

Just like Iverson, the more unique the player's personality, the more fans like it.

Under heavy pressure, Bass was ready to give up the idea of ​​replacing Sun Hao.

Cuban has not responded, and if we wait any longer, the Lakers may not only have to consider the issue of stop loss.

If Kobe really patted his ass and slipped away, the Lakers would really be doomed.

However, before making this decision, Bass Jr. was still a little unwilling.

Well, from a certain point of view, Bass Jr. and Sun Hao are the same kind of people.

Before I have an idea, I may feel nothing, but after I really start doing it, I am not the kind of person who is willing to give up halfway.

He called Cuban one last time.

Cuban, take it.

At the beginning, Buss didn't ask Cuban what he was thinking, but chatted about some trivial matters related to Kobe.

For example, he once went to the arena to pick up things at 1:00 in the morning and saw Kobe training;

For example, he always sees Kobe in the team training hall during the offseason every year;

Cuban was quite helpless when he heard the end.

"Jim, to be honest, I also admire Kobe, but Don strongly opposes this deal. You know how important Don is to the team. I can't ignore his opinions."

Cuban is a real person, and at the end of the chat, he also expressed his own difficulties.

"Well, that's a pity. It seems that we can only find a chance to cooperate next time."

Bass Jr. seems ready to give up.

"But Mark, also as a team manager, I have a little suggestion."

Before hanging up the phone, Little Buss suddenly said something more.

"I know Don's contribution to the Mavericks, but if it's me, I won't let him make decisions, just like Phil has absolute say in the team's coaching, but I won't let him participate in the management. If one person's power is too concentrated, it will eventually lead to a question: who is the boss?"

When Bass spoke, Cuban was silent for a while.

In history, Phil Jackson has a great reputation as a coach, but the Lakers have always refused to let him participate in the management.

Then he went to New York to become a general manager, but he got a bad nose.

As Bass Jr. said, everyone has their own field of expertise. If they step out of that field, no matter how good they are, they are just ordinary people.

Few of the players are as versatile as Popovich.

Cuban just smiled and said nothing.

But when he hung up the phone, the words that Bass said couldn't help appearing in his mind.

Although he invested a lot after buying the team, to be honest, since the team won the championship, the person with the most say in this team is Old Nelson.

It was the old Nelson who shaped the championship team step by step. From the management, to the players, and even the doorman, they all respected the old Nelson extremely.

This is indeed an abnormal phenomenon.

Even though old Nelson has a lot of experience in the league, he is only a coach after all.

The result of a coach with so much power, just like this time, whether to make a deal is not decided by his boss, but by old Nelson.

This may also be the reason why old Nelson dared to quarrel with his boss frequently in the past.

Have nothing to fear.

The more Cuban thought about it, the more he felt wrong.

There are a lot of things, nothing happens when you don't think about it, but once you are aroused a little bit, it will be out of control.

By the end, Cuban seemed to have finally made up his mind.

He didn't call old Nelson, but called Nelson Jr. and Johnson to his office.

Although it is the offseason now, the free market has just started, and these key players of the team are all in Dallas.

"I plan to trade Kobe Bryant for Sun, and Los Angeles will give two first-rounders and eat our garbage contract. What do you think?"

After calling the two of them, he spoke directly.
