Chapter 148: Bruce who is afraid of being punished (seeking monthly pass) (seeking subscription)

Players with their own systems are often more popular, because if such players are on the team, it will definitely enrich the team’s play style, such as this Supersonic team, if the Supersonic team also has a similar to Gane With such a "organizing center" player, then the Sonics will not be so passive in this game.

Although "pick-and-roll tactics" are not outdated in today’s basketball trends, and their weaknesses have not even been found, once this tactic is targeted by opponents, it will be uncomfortable to fight, so this must be developed. The third "tactical system" is.

Last season, perhaps Garnett was still a representative of the "blasting" power forwards. Such a player league has caught a lot of them, but now that the "organizing center" comes out, who can compete with each other, you know that not everyone can do it. Competent for this "organization center"...

If it is really a well-known "organization center", it has to be traced back to the 1979 Supersonic champion lineup leaders Jack Hickma and Zhang Shuai. In the 1967-1968 season, Chamberlain averaged 8.6 assists per game and succeeded. Elected the season's assists king. He has also become the only center player in history who has won both the scoring leader and the assists leader. He is also the originator of all organized interiors and is a real monument.

Now there are almost no candidates for such an "organization center", so can Garnett not be popular...

Especially now the head coach of the Golden State Warriors, Rick Adelman, has long been unable to sit still. He now wants Garnett to come to the Warriors with all his heart, and even threatens the general manager of the team with his head coach position. Al Artels asked for a trade with the New York Hans and wanted to trade Garnett.

It’s not difficult to understand. If there is such an absolute candidate for the “organization center”, Rick Adelman can bring out results no matter which team he goes to, but the premise is that the player must be with him. Just go...

As we all know, Rick Adelman's famous work is the "Princeton System", of course it can also be called the "Adelman System", and this guy will only play the "Princeton System" and nothing else.

So Garnett definitely has room to "play" in his hands, but...

Is Garnett such a good deal? Obviously not. He is one of the "not for sale" of the Blues, even if the Warriors general manager Al Atels beat the Hans general manager Mitch Kupchak The phone is useless, Mickey Kupchak can't be the master of Garnett...

In fact, general manager Mitch Kupchak’s job for the Hans is easier and easier, and difficult is also more difficult.

The easy thing is that you don't have to worry about the draft. This is completely the responsibility of the boss, Bruce, who is only responsible for daily transactions and internal affairs of the team.

The difficulty is that the team's trading rights have never been in their own hands, but the boss Bruce has ordered him to execute it.

This makes it so that even some senior insiders think that the general manager of Mitch Kupchak is dispensable, and it is better for Bruce to be the general manager directly, and everyone thinks that Mickey Kupchak also thinks of him. It is Bruce's "horse", like an obedient "machine", without any personal thoughts.

Can you have an idea? I don't know who is paying the salary office!

It stands to reason whether such a general manager is very shabby. If I were in the position of Mickey Kupchak, I would have no face to stay.

But Mickey Kupchak has a thick skin, what can you do?

Did you drive him away? He didn't do anything to miss, so he was fired for any reason...

Doesn't he Mickey Kupchak want to leave?

No, Mickey Kupchak also wants to leave, but now it’s hard to find a job, especially since Bruce has never felt sorry for him in terms of annual salary, and there are even a lot of benefits he should have. If you change the team as general manager, you will Will there still be these treatments? Can the boss give you such benefits?

Certainly not, besides, many general managers are also fired by the boss for bad trading players, but this will not happen in the Hans. As long as the players designated by Bruce do not move, the rest of the players can be traded as you wish. transaction.

Take the issue of trading Garnett as an example. Because Garnett is a "not for sale" designated by Bruce, Mitch Kupchak can only ask Bruce on the phone about his question. As for whether to trade or not, it all depends on it. For Bruce himself, he Mickey Kupchak does not carry this pot...

So Mickey Kupchak got into a dilemma after receiving the call.

Call and tell the prince by yourself, this is not necessary. After all, Garnett didn't ask to leave. Based on the principle of "not for sale", he must be reluctant to make this call.

But it's not appropriate not to call, after all, the other party's bargaining chip is really good, and even he is moved.

In the end Mitch Kupchak decided to make this call, not mentioning Garnett’s matter, such a big thing as the "rotation order", Mickey Kupchak must also report the “Bruce No. 2 Rotation Rule” to the prince. a bit.

...

Huaguo Mountain City

"...That's the situation!" Mitch Kupchak reported to Bruce about the "rotation order" in the past few days.

It's okay for Bruce not to listen. When he heard that Stern really named this rule by his name, the tooth rooted with hatred...

It's so deceiving. Bruce thought Stern was making a joke, but he didn't expect this old man to be playing a real joke. He was really a terrible old man who couldn't make a joke at all...

Well, yes, when you study in the United States next year, you must find a chance to get this place back!

(Bruce's true temperament is the must-reported one)

Forget it, don't worry about these little things, let's talk about the important things quickly.

"What punishment does the league have on me or the team..." This is what Bruce cares about.

To know why the Timberwolves were penalized as draft picks in the past life, and a penalty is a five-year draft qualification, wouldn't this really happen to Bruce?

Of course it’s impossible. Bruce still knows the specifics of the Timberwolves’ penalty picks. After all, there was a lot of trouble at the time. It is said that Joe Smith became a free agent in the summer of 1998. In order to evade the luxury tax sanctions, the Timberwolves reached an agreement with Joe Smith. A "yin and yang contract". The original of this contract is a written text for the league office. It was signed 3 times, with an annual salary of US$1.75 million in the 1998-99 season, US$2.17 million in the 1999-2000 season, and US$2.25 million in the 2000-01 season. The copy of the contract has not been announced. The Timberwolves boss McHale conspired with Joe Smith. As long as Smith is willing to join at a low salary in the first 3 seasons, he will get a 7-year long-term contract with a contract amount of not less than 40 million US dollars, the highest It can reach $86 million, and the copy of the contract has the autographs of the Timberwolves boss Glen Taylor, Joe Smith and his agent.

In October 2000, the black-box operation scandal broke out. The Timberwolves were severely sanctioned by the league office and deprived of their first-round picks for the next five years (then the 2003 and 2005 draft picks were returned to the Timberwolves by the league) plus $3.5 million. Joe Smith was forced to transition to a free agent and signed with the Pistons for one year after one month.

It can be said that the free agent was signed because of the contract, but this is a matter of drafting rights. Why does Stern punish the free agent for the drafting by signing a contract? Isn't this a bull's-eye?

Anyway, your Uncle Si can play this kind of "universal shift", but Bruce is scared. According to Stern's characteristic of "wearing a crown", he is also afraid that his Han Chinese team will be deprived of the first round of the next five years. right.
