Legendary Basketball Tycoon

The Lakers' bargaining chip to get Bryant is really exciting, but that doesn't include Bruce, because he knows the deal won't pay off. If it is James, then Bruce is a little interested, and McGrady should forget it.

In his previous life, McGrady was the bottom of the four shooting guards. Although he was stronger than the other shooting guards, the injury really hindered his performance. In addition, the hard injury of congenital spinal curvature really made Bruce less cold.

Of course, Kobe's way of "forcing the palace" this time really made Bruce unbearable. Did Kobe feel that he "can do it again" in recent years? ! The old mistakes of the previous life have been committed again, right?

After trading Shaquille O'Neal, Kobe forced the Lakers to ask them to find help. As a result, the Lakers management did have a unique vision to dig Gasol, allowing Kobe to continue to win the championship.

But now in the New York Hans, Bruce's words are absolute authority. No one has "forced" the team without being punished. When Garnett asked for a big contract a few years ago, the management of the palace was "frozen" by Bruce for a while. Now Kobe has appeared again. After playing for a few years, these old and beautiful players are so ambitious that they like to do this kind of coercion!

How come Dirk Nowitzki in his previous life never forced a calf? ! It stands to reason that Nowitzki has played for so many years and has always been the core of the Mavericks. If he wanted to win the championship, he would not have asked Cuban to ask for someone, but as a result, he cut his salary to help the team. Reinforce, just rush to this Bruce and admire this person.

It seems that the international players are still reliable. The players of the old and the United States are not reliable, especially the superstars in the previous life. After playing for a few years, the more they feel that they can control everything.

Kobe was like that, Iverson was like that, and so was the SuperSonics. It's just that Iverson has already won a championship, otherwise I don't know what will happen? !

"Also, Philadelphia 76ers owner Leslie Alexander called me personally and the 76ers were willing to trade Gary Payton + Tony Kukoc + Matt Geiger with us for Kobe and Brad Rice. Le + this year's first-round pick!" Mitch Kupchak then added.

This is also the chip submitted by the two teams that most impressed Mitch Kupchak. The other teams' chips are nothing more than draft picks + some role players. If Mitch Kupchak is not attracted, it will be different. Once told.

"Peton?!" Bruceton was stunned.

A few years ago, Payton couldn't return to Seattle from Philadelphia because of the 76ers' management. I didn't expect Alexander to take Payton out a few years later? !

It really surprised Bruce that Payton wanted to leave Philadelphia and go back to Seattle, and went to Alexander's place to make trouble. The result was a tragedy. Alexander refused to let anyone go. There was no way, Payton could only continue to stay in Philadelphia. The contract He also re-signed with the 76ers after it expired.

So when he heard Peyton's news suddenly, Bruce was also stunned.

At the same time, Bruce was also thinking about whether to make this transaction.

Because Payton can still play now, not at the end of his career, at least he can play for about 5-6 years. Considering his age, it is indeed enough.

And using Kobe to trade Payton is not a loss, at least not secretly.

Why, no matter from that aspect, Kobe Bryant's replacement for Payton is the one who suffers a lot! These are all obvious facts. In fact, it is true, but it’s different in secret. First of all, Kobe’s way of “forcing the palace” this time really annoyed Bruce. Bruce has a grudge in his heart, people. As long as there is a grudge in your heart, then the latter thing is very interesting, isn't it? ! This forced palace made Bruce completely change his mind and decided to no longer use Kobe as the cornerstone of the future; secondly, although the team has dropped a lot in terms of scoring after the exchange of Payton, the defense has been strengthened. Payton's joining at least In the playoffs, I have the confidence to defend, and the offense can be handed over to Dayao and Nowitzki on the inside, and the defense is good on the outside.

In addition, although Payton can still play for 5-6 years, after he retires, he can let Curry take over. What about Curry's different style of play? Come back to play when Dayao Ao retires." "Death to the five small", Curry only entered the league in 2009, if Dayao can stay healthy in this life, it will not be a problem to play until 2012, and Curry only sacrificed the time of the rookie contract, there is no big problem.

This really made Bruce very moved. He sent Kobe away in advance and waited about 10 years to welcome Curry. Curry was more obedient than Kobe.

Mitch Kupchak stood aside. He didn't know what Bruce was thinking, and he didn't dare to ask. It's really impossible to make hasty decisions on issues involving Kobe.

Bruce has been considering whether to send Kobe back to Philadelphia or send Kobe to another team. In short, the Lakers don’t even think about it. No one can cheap the Lakers.

"Mitch, what do you think about your words?!" Bruce was preparing to test Mitch Kupchak.

Without him, I just want to hear what the general manager under him thinks.

Some players have reached the level of "ball master", so that the management has to listen to him, just like Jordan, in the Bulls Jordan is more like a boss than general manager Jerry Krause, do whatever you want .

But this is New York, his own team, and he doesn't want someone like "Jordan" to "control" the team again.

Mitch Kupchak was also helpless after hearing what the prince said. The last thing he wanted was to answer such a "choose one" question. Obviously, this was a trap dug by the prince for him. All in the mind of the prince.

Mitch Kupchak sighed helplessly after thinking about it in his mind and said: "Prince, I think it should be traded, Kobe's heart is no longer on the team, we can put Kobe Send it back to Philly, so our point guard problem is solved, Gary Payton can play for a few more years, and we have a scorer like Michael Finley at the guard to replace, so Kobe Bryant It's not a big problem to leave..."

All in all, Mitch Kupchak wants to send Kobe away. He has long disliked Kobe. If it wasn't for Bruce's backing over the years, he was ready to trade Kobe out in the past few years.

Unfortunately, Kobe was too taken care of by the prince. No, Kobe extended his contract with the team for 6 years in the 1998 season. Okay now, Kobe has already disgusted the prince, this time is the opportunity, the best opportunity to kick Kobe away.
