Legendary Basketball Tycoon

Chapter 697: What happened in the past three years? (Eight)

Unlike Ron Artest’s "sorry operation", the New York Hans selected the Argentine "Demon Knife" Manu Ginobili with the 40th pick in the second round.

Ginobili is also a problem boy, and the golf dealer is online. Of course, Manu Ginobili is still in Italy at this moment. He has already joined the Bologna Vitus Basketball Club. Ginobili's enthusiasm for the NBA is not as enthusiastic as he thought, and the reason why Manu wants to enter the NBA is very simple. He hopes that he can be stronger and his chest muscles become a little bigger (it is said that this is the case).

If there is no "accident", Ginobili should continue to stay in the Italian league. After the previous life was selected in 1999, Manu did not immediately sign a contract with the Spurs, but returned to play in the European League. In the subsequent 2001 and 2002, he led the Italian team to the league championship and was selected as the MVP player. At the invitation of Popovich, Manu officially joined the NBA to play games.

This is still the case in this life, but the protagonist has changed. Popovich has become Mickey Kupchak. Mickey Kupchak will communicate with Ginobili in person, and let him be like his previous life. In 02 Only entered the NBA in the year.

No way, at the shooting guard position, Kobe is definitely the starting candidate to do my part. If Ginobili enters the NBA now, he will still be Kobe's substitute. In fact, this is the case at all times. The reason for delaying a little time, It is undoubtedly to make Bruce more fully prepared. The main reason is that there is no shortage of shooting guards on the bench. Whether it is the offensive Michael Finley or the defensive defender Stephen Jackson, they are all capable of taking the position as a substitute. , So Ginobili really doesn't have any huge advantages now.

It is also good to let him come back after a few years of experience in Europe.

Of course, the Bruce is not afraid of Ginobili and staying in Europe to play. This is okay. As long as the New York Hans have the right to sign Ginobili and do not trade, there is no problem. Other NBA teams are not eligible. Get Ginobili.

For example, the Spurs are one of them. Since the New York Hans intercepted Ginobili in the second round, Popovich personally called Mickey Kupchak, the general manager of the New York Hans, just to trade for Gino. Billy's right to sign, whether it is a player deal or paying for the first round of next year's signing.

But after wisely Mitch Kupchak reported the news and Bruce, Bruce directly said a very beautiful note, that is "Guen". Mickey Kupchak also relayed this sentence to Popovich, and Popovich flew into a rage after hearing this, vowing that if he stays in position, the Spurs will never have any dealings with the New York Hans in the future.

Bruce just counseled his shoulders about this. Without him, Bruce didn't care, he just wanted to play Popovich's "Autumn Wind".

If the Lakers are the team that the Blues hates the most, then Popovich is the head coach he hates the most. Without him, he is totally upset. After spending so many years with the Spurs, who knows the owner of the Spurs? The outside world basically believes that the Spurs belonged to Popovich alone, so that those who have a high level of skill still hold the team firmly for so long, that is, the reason that the Spurs owner Pete Hall is too soft. If you change to the position of Jenny Buss, you can see if Popovich can not leave. Jenny Buss can leave behind a "legendary" general manager like Jerry West to drive away. Popovich? It's obviously impossible.

Jenny Buss is the same, Bruce is the same, no matter the ancient emperor did not like people like Popovich, because he is so dazzling, so that the emperor is overshadowed, he is immortal who will die!

So Bruce has a reason to hate Popovich.

Isn’t it just not trading with the Spurs? In recent years, apart from the Jazz not trading with the Hans in New York, another Spurs have been added. The so-called so-called lice do not bite and debts are plentiful. What if there are more, Bruce is still the same. It can still be traded with other teams. Besides, what can a strong team like the Spurs Jazz trade for? No matter whether it is a draft pick or a player, it has no value. It is better not to trade!

After figuring this out, Bruce also looked at it.

Of course, although the New York Hans have joined Artest, the team still has a big problem. The new season is still not favored. The team's backup power forward Jermaine O'Neal and point guard Damon Jones Leave freely.

The loss of the former to the team is indeed a bit big, mainly because Nowitzki lacks a suitable substitute, which is fatal, and now it is hoped that Austin Crosill will be a substitute power forward.

Originally, the Hans wanted to keep Jermaine O’Neal and also gave Jermaine O’Neal a good contract extension, but Jermaine O’Neal himself is very young. High school students participated in the draft. Under the age of 20, you let him keep on the bench for Nowitzki. How can this be said in the past? In addition, Jermaine O’Neal has not only improved his strength in the past few years, but also has his heart. Haughty and arrogant wanting to start, you said how could Bruce be willing, so Bruce pointed directly to the door and said: You can go now.

Jermaine O'Neal left freely. I believe he can still find a suitable job even after leaving the New York Hans. We wish him a smooth journey.

As for Damon Jones, there is nothing to say, except for his speed, neither scoring nor defense is not suitable for the New York Hans, especially his defense is simply terrible. Now the head coach of the New York Hans is Chuck Daly. This is a head coach who started off on defense. You said that you should let a player with a poor defense stay on the team. Don't you think it should be a man!

The reason why the team let Damon Jones leave like this is because there are still people at the point guard position. Both the starting Sam Cassell and the substitute Tyronn Lue are better defensively than Damon Jones. Besides, Damon Jones is just a loser. It’s OK to find a point guard from the free market. It doesn’t matter.

Of course, the most difficult thing for the Han people now is not the departure of Jermaine O’Neal and Damon Jones, but Chris Mullin, whose one-year contract expires, and Mourning, who is about to undergo surgery, that matter most. .

Chris Mullin has long announced that he will not continue to renew his contract. He wants to return to the Golden State Warriors. After all, that is his home. Bruce is also very emotional about this. He feels like a nostalgic player like Chris Mullin. Running out.
