Legendary Basketball Tycoon

Long Island Villa

It's 8 o'clock in the morning.

"Ring Ling Ling..."

Bruce, who was still in a lazy bed, was woken up by the annoying phone ringing early in the morning.

Who, so annoying, bother labor and management to sleep!

Yesterday, I spent a whole night in New York City with the old gangsters. I dragged my tired body back to the villa to rest in the early hours of the morning.

In other words, Bruce hasn't slept long since the early hours of the morning.

For this reason, Bruce, who is more angry about getting up, will be upset for a while.

I am afraid that anyone who appears will be scolded bitterly by him.

Isn't it a bad day to sleep until you wake up naturally, and count money until you get cramps?

Why is there always someone to bother Lao Tzu?

If you want to sleep well for a while, it won't work!

"Hello, are you?"

Depressedly, he picked up his personal mobile phone and said impatiently after the call was connected.

"Bruce is me, I'm Mark, Mark Cuban."

Mark, Mark Cuban, who?

Bruce was still confused for a while. Not long after hearing the excited voice from the other side, Bruce would also remember who disturbed him to sleep.

What is this guy looking for?

Hasn't he successfully bought the Dallas Mavericks!

Is it because I don’t have enough money and I want to continue to slaughter Laozi?

"Oh, Mark, did something happen to you calling me early in the morning?"

It is better to ask clearly first, so as not to be trapped by him.

"Bruce, it's like this. See if there are any well-known head coach and general manager candidates that you can introduce to me."

Wow, Cuban actually asked me to help him introduce the head coach and general manager?

Did you make a mistake?

Isn't Cuban an investment wizard? He doesn't even have this insight.

You actually asked me, a primary school student, to introduce you to you. Who can I introduce?

Besides, there are a large number of general managers and head coaches in the league. You can ask other people to ask yourself!

In fact, this is really not to blame Cuban himself, he has no way to come to Bruce.

Speaking of which, Cuban is really unlucky. When Donald Carter, the previous owner of the Dallas Mavericks, left, the Mavericks had a ruin.

To put it bluntly, there are some clowns in the management who are acting as monsters. As the direct line of former boss Donald Carter, they don't buy Cuban himself, so they treat Cuban as if they are not.

This led to Cuban, who was angered by the status quo of the team, slaughtered him as soon as he came up, expelling many of the direct lines of former boss Donald Carter, and leaving behind the longest staying in the Mavericks several old employees.

The entire management was fired by him seven or eighty eight, so what should be done, of course, is to find someone to pull it.

Once the emperor and the courtier, while the east wind is still blowing, Cuban now naturally wants to train his own line of troops to pull.

With Cuban's genius mind, you can definitely find someone.

After adding most of the management back, only the two most important positions, the general manager and the head coach, were left with no suitable candidates.

Everyone will definitely want to say, this is not easy, the league has a lot of catches, and there are many in the wild, as long as you put money out of Cuban.

Don't tell me, Cuban was looking for someone with this mentality from the beginning. Anyway, he is not short of money (most of the money is provided by Bruce), so it is enough to find someone to transition.

What he didn't expect was that the general manager and head coach hadn't been found yet. The team's head star Grant Hill, who was also born in Dallas, found him and said that he wanted to leave the team and pursue the championship.

The reason given is very good, and it also leaves Cuban unable to fault it.

As the team's head star, Grant Hill, who has always been an obedient card, has been with the Mavericks for two seasons. In addition to being a bad player, the team is still bad. He can't see any future at all.

In terms of how to say, I can be regarded as an All-Star player, and also a super new star that the league has tried hard to create. If I have been in the Mavericks for such a waste of time, that would be my biggest crime.

Although he doesn't want to leave, he is also a native Dallas player after all, but for his own ideals and for the championship, he must be cruel to force the management.

If you are willing to increase your investment, I will continue to stay in the team. If you continue to play like this next season, then I'm sorry, I won't take care of you.

Grant Hill forced Cuban out.

Just kidding, if Grant Hill is traded out, then he can still live in Dallas. I'm afraid that every day when he goes out, he will be afraid that someone will shoot him.

Besides, Cuban himself still prefers Grant Hill. After all, Grant Hill is a kind of obedient player, who is generally not noisy. This time Grant Hill is coming to force the management of the team to watch. He came out for the sake of the Mavericks.

You said that if you really traded Grant Hill, Cuban could not forgive himself.

Then again, who will be the general manager and head coach, and it must be of the kind with prestige and ability.

At least you have to suppress the players of your team, but also the kind that can lead the team to get good results as soon as possible.

Rookie coaches and ordinary coaches are definitely not good, and most well-known coaches are famous. They are either coaches or assistants for other teams, or the kind that did not arrive during the contract period.

Why is it so difficult to find the right person?

While Cuban had been struggling with the future of the team, he suddenly remembered the story of Bruce's "three visits to the cottage" at the beginning of the establishment of the team.

Yes, Bruce must know who is suitable as a coach.

...

That's why the aforementioned Cuban phoned Bruce to tell him to introduce the coach.

The family doesn't talk about two things, and Bruce himself is now tied to Cuban. In the mentality that you don't help me or who helps me, Cuban is very comfortable with Bruce.

After all, the two belong to a cooperative relationship. Besides, when Bruce speaks in the Alliance, don’t you want allies? Will you not help? See if I will stumble you, huh...

Listening to Cuban talking on the phone about his tragic experience after becoming the owner of the Dallas Mavericks, Bruce also had a tear of sympathy.

It's really miserable, being pitted by subordinates, forced by players, and the most miserable boss in history, you Cuban deserves your name.

Well, let this prince come to rescue you from this deep and fiery quagmire.

"I have a good candidate. It depends on whether you can invite it."

"Who?"

Cuban was overjoyed when he heard that Bruce had a trick.

He had known that Bruce could find a suitable candidate for a long time. No, it was not what he expected. Look, I'm still smart.

"Don Nelson, he is a good coach, and there is no doubt about his coaching ability, that is, he has been at home for two years now. If you come to the door in person, you will be fine."

Hey, the old Nelson is finally coming out. Originally, Bruce wanted to introduce him to the Seattle SuperSonics, but this old man must be the kind who wants to fully control the operation of the entire team, including the draft.

This completely violates the original intention of himself and Paul Allen, coaching is no problem, provided that you cannot interfere with the team's trading and draft.

So Bruce can only miss old Nelson again and again.

"It's him. I know that Tang is indeed a good head coach. Don't worry, I will definitely invite him, just like you did in the past."

Cuban would finally remember who Old Tang was, **** it, why didn't he think of it all morning.

Hey, it looks like your Cuban jumped a bit, dare to laugh at me.

"What about the general manager candidate?"

A good coach needs an assistant general manager to cooperate, and Cuban must also want to find an old dough stick who has been in the league for many years as the general manager.

After all, all the operations of the team (draft including trades), it is really impossible to have no connections.

"Well, I'll give you Bob Buss, the vice president of my team."

Bob Buss has not been with the New York Hans for a long time, has little loyalty, and is not too young, so giving him to Cuban can be regarded as an indirect support for the Mavericks' construction.

"Bob Buss? Who? Is it capable?"

Cuban really doesn't know who Bob Buss is. It's no wonder that he is not as famous as Old Tang.

To be precise, during the entire 1990s, there were only a few well-known general managers of the alliance, all of whom worked as general managers in the rich, so I won't go into details here.

Although Bob Buss does not have much reputation in the eyes of most people, he is really capable. He is the first head coach in the history of the Denver Nuggets after entering the NBA. Buss was still in the 1989-90 season. He won the NBA Best Executive Award.

The Best Executive Award is the predecessor of the NBA Professional Basketball League Manager of the Year Award. The best executive award can confirm its ability. Not every general manager can get this award.

Bruce gave a detailed introduction to Bob Buss’ resume. After listening carefully, Cuban found it good. This person has also served as the general manager of the Spurs. He is indeed suitable for his team. He will make supplementary transactions for the team. , Coupled with the old Nelson's coaching ability, this is the rhythm of the Mavericks next season.

...

After hanging up Cuban's call, Bruce was also lost in thought.

After Cuban got "Wolong" and "Phoenix", the Mavericks are irritable, and the West will definitely be more exciting next season.

I didn't expect that the chaos in the west was provoked by myself!

Bruce smiled sinisterly, and then called the team's vice president Bob Buss to comfort him to change the door.
