Legendary Basketball Tycoon

The general manager of the Knicks, Scott Layden, is not good. He is the son of Frank Layden, the former coach and general manager of the Utah Jazz. Because of this relationship, Scott Layden has also played a role in the Jazz. The same coaching job. In the 1981-82 season, he served as a talent scout and assistant coach. Before the start of the 1982-83 season, he was promoted to the team's assistant coach until 1988. During this period, Scott Leyden was best known for his appearance in the 1984 NBA Draft for the Gonzaga University point guard who was still unknown at the time: John Stockton. The following year, he picked Karl Malone with the 13th pick in the draft. Since the 1988-90 season, he began to serve as the team's player personnel director and assistant coach, but he only worked as an assistant for a short time before he devoted himself to the work of player personnel director.

As mentioned above, the Jazz is the deadly enemy of the Hans, and the father of Scott Layden, Frank Layden, is the meritorious bishop of the Jazz. It can be said that if Jerry Sloan does not retire, then the Jazz will take the first place. That person is Frank Layden.

Frank Layden has done too much for the Jazz, and the two father and son also have a deep affection for the Jazz. How Bruce dealt with the Jazz this year, these two father and son both keep in mind, but they don’t take the opportunity to fix it. The Hans, firstly, to show off their business ability in the face of the little fat man, secondly, to avenge the Jazz, and disgust the Hans, that's for sure.

Of course, Scott Leyden has just this trick. In fact, his so-called business ability is very poor. How bad is it?

So bad that during Scott Raiden's reign, the Knicks he ran were dubbed the "Worst Team in Sports" by ESPN.

Scott Layden’s "magic" deal in those days was a misfortune for Bruce Ray. Anyway, whoever makes him the general manager is unlucky. The thing that this guy can't accept the most is that Bruce can't accept it. In the transaction, Scott Layden traded the rather old Patrick Ewing to the Seattle Supersonics. When fans asked why he wanted to trade Ewing, he replied: Ewing has been aging in the past few seasons. And the injury status plummeted, the team management believes that this transaction is most beneficial to the future of the team.

Cold-blooded, selfish, and ruthless words can all be used to describe Scott Raiden, especially because of how much the Knicks have paid, he should be able to retire in the Knicks, others "Admiral" Robinson can do. By the time he retires, his condition is much better than Ewing. I don't think it is necessarily. Why didn't the Spurs management trade him when they were aging and the injury state plummeted? This explains the problem.

In fact, this is also quite good. The combination of Fatty + Poor Business Capability is indeed very good. At least Bruce is at ease about the current situation of the Knicks.

And when Kobe knew that the Knicks actually sent someone to skip him and go directly to his family, to be honest, Kobe was very disappointed.

What he was disappointed was why his father didn't tell him, shouldn't this be let him know, maybe it was because of other reasons.

Kobe is not stupid, he still knows him well, and he also knows him, as long as the price is in place, he can ask him to go to any team, but now Kobe wants to say NO...

Not to mention how happy it is to be in the Hans team now, even if he is in the prince, he can't just leave and leave. Then I am a undergraduate. Isn't that a horrible thing?

I definitely can't do it myself, so this is why his father hasn't told him. His father definitely wants to wait for a chance to wait for Kobe's rookie contract to end or when he wants to fight for the championship and the team will fall out... …

These are all likely to happen, but Kobe has also thought about it. As long as the prince does not take the initiative to trade him, then he will not voluntarily leave the Han team. The prince has paid too much for him, and the confidant will die. My undergraduate course must have done my best for the Han people. (This term is from the last time the prince sent him a book called "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms". In this book his favorite is Zhuge Liang, who is a man of great wisdom)

Have you seen so much?

Obediently burrow into the hole! It seems that what I sent him was the English translation, no wonder I read it so fast, and indeed, the alphabet can be read much faster than Chinese characters!

...

Kobe doesn't want to leave, but other people can't guarantee it. At least some people's minds have drifted to other places.

This of course means Garnett. He definitely doesn't want to wear the title of the team's third-best. If Mourning is on his head, he is still convinced. Who told Mourning to stay for a few years longer than him? Coupled with being the first player selected in the history of the team since its establishment, everyone knows the meaning of this.

But if there is another one on his head who is smaller than himself and crushed on his head later than himself, then he can't bear it. How can Kobe, this kid, He De? Is it because he is the No. 4 pick, I am still No. 5. Show, how much more Kobe do you have than Lao Tzu?

Is it because Kobe got Jordan's training, I didn't see how good the training is, it's not that kind of ball!

Is it because Kobe is more handsome than everyone in the team, I don’t think he is much worse than him? What's more, now there is another handsome guy Steve Nash in the team, who is more handsome than Kobe. Go there.

All in all, Kobe is not satisfied when he is the captain of the team. It is not only that I am not satisfied. Even Kidd's bald head is not dissatisfied and was traded by the team.

So the Knicks sent someone to persuade him to join. Garnett was basically a little tempted, but the Knicks already had Christian Lightner at the power forward position. Wouldn't he be a substitute in the past? That would definitely not work. , It’s not enough to jump to the side of the enemy in the same city. If you haven’t got the starting position, then it’s not a loss to Tang Jiatuo...

The heart is moved back to the heart, but it is still necessary to clearly distinguish the priority. Even if I want to leave the Hans, I must go to be the boss or the second. The starting line is the lowest standard.

Of course, there are still many teams seeking to trade himself, and Garnett and his agent are also watching. After all, it is not too late to wait for the end of the season to discuss.

Next year will be Garnett's third year, and there can be team options. Player options used to be a way to give players more money. In a long-term contract, a player option is often set in the year when the player gets the right to Bird. Once the player has the right to Bird, he will enable the option, become a free agent, and then sign a new contract with a higher salary with the team using the Bird clause.

The team has the option of choosing the team, like a 5+1 player option contract. In the sixth year after 5 years, the player has the right to choose whether to play for the team again. If the player does not choose to stay on the team , He can jump out of his contract and become a free agent: the same goes for team options.

This also means that next year the Hans will look at whether they will continue to use the big contract to discuss the renewal issue or have a team to match him and trade him away.

Regardless of the situation, it is a win-win result for Garnett. This is also the main reason why he has not taken the initiative to negotiate with the team. He sits firmly on the Diaoyutai. Besides, he is a system player. I don’t know how many teams want. If you want to get him, the Han Chinese team can't help but know this, and when I first joined the team, I was "snow-kept" during the period when I felt angry. If I don't retaliate next year, how can I be right? ...

Haha! Next year, I want to see how the imposing prince begs him to renew his contract. It makes me happy to think about it!

Even if the prince traded him, he didn't lose! In any case, his previous tone is definitely going to come out!
