Legendary Basketball Tycoon

In fact, Thomas really made sense. He expected Larry Tanebaum not to open him.

Larry Tanebaum was originally dissatisfied with Thomas’ private operation. He wanted Thomas to get out of Toronto. But think about it. Canada doesn’t really love basketball. They like ice hockey a lot. , If Thomas is forced away, then who should be the general manager of the team? !

You must know that Thomas was also the personal business team of Larry Tanebaum that took a lot of time and effort to fool around (it’s so inconvenient to not build a team in the United States), if the regular season has not started It’s hard to imagine the consequences if they are fired. At least the Raptors’ home attendance is one of the problems. There is no one who can take the shot. Who will go to the scene to watch it, but if Thomas is left, then As long as Thomas can sit at home so much, even as a vase, it can increase passenger flow!

Dissatisfaction goes to dissatisfaction. As a successful "M&A king" Larry Tanebaum also knows that at this point it is impossible to drive Thomas for the little boy Bruce far away on the other side of the ocean, at least to build a team in the Raptors. In the early days, such things could not be allowed to happen.

Larry Tanebaum can still handle which is lighter and heavier, so in order to temporarily stabilize Thomas, Larry Tanebaum chose to compromise this time.

Of course, if you choose Thomas, you will definitely offend Bruce, the master of "retribution". In order to avoid being "hate" by Bruce, it is not necessary for Larry Tanebaum to call in the first time to "please"!

And Bruce also felt speechless after listening to Larry Tanebaum's explanation.

Why do you say that? !

Do you think you can blame Larry Tanebaum on this matter? Obviously, most of the responsibility is definitely not on him, but on Thomas.

To be honest, if you change a position, Bruce would choose to be in the position of Larry Tanebaum. There is no way. Thomas has just retired from the league. In Canada, where the basketball atmosphere is not very strong, it is necessary to have such a position. A "super-giant" star is in the lineup, and the "All-Stars" who are currently active in the league are not willing to go to Toronto to watch the snow, and even the "All-Stars" are not willing to go, let alone rookies. It is not easy to be able to fool a "super giant" to support the scene. Larry Tanebaum is indeed very "hard."

But this incident can be regarded as "flicking" Bruce once, so someone must come to the back of this incident. Poor Thomas is undoubtedly an excellent "back-up man"!

Of course, the Lakers' "shot" did make Bruce quite angry. So this time the Bruce rarely blamed Larry Tanebaum, why, because it involves the Lakers, and as Bruce’s most hated NBA team, the Lakers are definitely the target of Bruce’s attack, so Bruce has already put this The account was also counted on the Lakers.

It is true that if there is no such thing as the Lakers, wouldn't McGrady belong to him Han? !

After thinking about it carefully, Bruce said calmly: "This is the end of the matter. There will be no problems with the Raptors expansion draft pick Scott Brooks?!"

"Of course, of course, Scott Brooks is indeed on the Raptors' expansion roster, and I promise that this will not change."

"As for this time I broke my trust with your Bruce, I will arrange for the Raptors to perform a bad deal in 2002 and trade the first round of the 2003 draft to the Hans. This is my gift of apology to you Bruce. I hope you can forgive me. !"

"In the future, the Raptors will still be willing to communicate more with the Han people..." Larry Tanebaum hurriedly replied.

After all, his team has just entered the league, and it must be unwilling to offend a "heavyweight" enemy! (Mainly because Bruce and the background behind Bruce are too hard, he can't resist himself, so he must admit it when he should admit it)

Since Bruce values ​​the 2003 draft pick so much, then it's not a good deal to give him, and it's a big deal for another year, better than offending Bruce, who is the "canthus" master!

"I'll talk about it then!" Bruce replied roughly.

The 2003 draft is very important. This is the most important thing to get the "social melon" to your team. As for how to bring me back to New York, you need to think about it. a bit.

It’s still a long time since 2003. How can things be said accurately in the future? Just as Larry Tanebaum said not long ago, if he changes his mind now, he will change his mind. Then who knows if he will go back again? !

Anyway, Bruce's current mood is absolutely "fear of being bitten by a snake for ten years, afraid of well ropes", and his credibility with Larry Tanebaum is greatly reduced.

"Larry, this time you were put up by the general manager of Isiah, so next time, you still listen to him?! Are you the owner of the team or he?!" Bruce asked sinisterly.

Thomas helped Johnson cut Tracy McGrady. There must be no end to it. Bruce is also preparing to put on little shoes for Thomas. Who makes Thomas upset him? Although Tracy McGrady is not of much value in Bruce's mind, he is a "retributable" man. Lord, this resentment must be made by Bruce.

And he also believes that successful business owners like Larry Tanebaum do not allow anyone to dominate their heads. In the NBA, only stars can force the team owner to give the general manager or the head coach to the team. Fired, when did I hear that the general manager forced the palace boss? At least the Bulls were on Jordan’s issue. Their general manager Jerry Klaus couldn’t force the palace to get up. It was not because Jordan led him by the nose, so Bruce It is expected that Larry Tanebaum will not allow such things to happen again and again, and now to add a little fire to Larry Tanebaum, then I believe Larry Tanebaum must be Will remember it, and Bruce will see how long Thomas can stay in Toronto.

Fight with me? !

Hehe, you Thomas is still a little tender!

"I know this, so be it!" Larry Tannenbaum hung up after speaking.

Obviously Larry Tanebaum's absolute authority has been provoked, and this is absolutely unacceptable in people's hearts.

Bruce didn't take it seriously either. After everything was done, he had to watch. He wanted to see how these people "targeted" him died!

Of course, compared with these, who is the most important pick in the first round of the '97 draft? The 18th pick is really not easy to pick.

No way, Bruce had to find out the rookie registration list that the team general manager Mitch Kupchak faxed to him a few days ago.
