Legendary Basketball Tycoon

"Just say what you have to say!"

As soon as he walked into the room, Bruce asked straight to the point.

"This, this..." Cuban hesitated for a long time.

He didn't know how to say this, after all, anything he could say would definitely surprise Bruce.

"What's wrong?! Hesitantly, Mark, this doesn't seem like your shrewd businessman's style?!"

The more Cuban is like this, the more his heart beats. At this moment, Bruce is still very empty. After all, because he is familiar with the history of Cuban's fortune, he dug some from him. Although the money is not too much, but because this is a scam , so Bruce has no confidence. As long as Cuban doesn't talk about his previous video site, he's not afraid.

"That's it, I want to talk to you about a deal!" Cuban finally said his purpose.

trade? !

Bruce looked confused, but fortunately, it's not about the video website. It can be traded. Who is it to trade? !

Did Cuban like Nowitzki like he did in his previous life? !

Not to mention, it really is!

"I want Dirk Nowitzki and your team's chief assistant, Rick Carlisle!" Cuban replied with a serious look.

What the hell? !

Bruce stood up excitedly after listening to Cuban's answer.

Cuban is not crazy, he wants Rick Carlisle in addition to Nowitzki? !

This surprised Bruce completely.

that...that...

Cuban wants Nowitzki It's not that Bruce is shocked. What really shocks Bruce is that Cuban wants Rick Carlisle.

You must know that although Rick Carlisle is still holding the position of assistant coach of the New York Han people (the assistant coach contract has expired), in fact, Bruce has already prepared to help Rick Carlisle to the position of head coach, just waiting for the new season It was announced before the start.

On the other hand, on the Mavericks side, there is a famous handsome old Nelson coaching the team! What did you get Rick Carlisle to Dallas and make him head coach? !

The head coach and the chief assistant coach, all fools know how to choose not to pull!

"No, Mark, why is this?! You want Dirk, I know, the deal between players, some will send the owner to negotiate, but what do you want our team's chief assistant coach Rick Carlisle to do? what?!"

"Being the chief assistant for old Nelson?!" Bruce asked suspiciously what was in his heart.

After Cuban listened to Bruce, he also knew that Bruce had misunderstood him.

At this moment, Cuban is ready to tell Bruce about the crazy thoughts in his heart.

Next, Cuban explained to Bruce why he wanted Nowitzki and Rick Carlisle.

It turns out that Cuban and the old Nelson got along very happily when they first partnered. After all, old Nelson's qualifications are there. If you really want to change other head coaches, it may not be effective for Old Nelson. This is one thing.

But in 1999, Cuban and Nelson had a big conflict. The Mavericks made it to the knockout stages of the Western Conference playoffs under the leadership of Nelson Sr. Hu Weidong was injured in the knockout G3 and missed G4. When it came to G5, the Mavericks were 1-3 behind. The Mavericks' team doctor thought that Hu Weidong could play, but Nelson firmly refused. Even Hu Weidong took the initiative to ask to play. Cuban went to Nelson's office to ask him to let Hu Weidong play, but Nelson refused directly. Cuban also slammed out of the door in anger. At that time, the old Nelson said that he dug Hu Weidong from China to the Mavericks, so he was responsible for Hu Weidong's entire career. In the end, Hu Weidong never played again in the following games, and the Mavericks were eliminated by their opponents with a big score of 2-4.

I have to say that fate is so wonderful. In the previous life, Cuban and old Nelson had a bad relationship because of Nowitzki's injury, and this life has become Hu Weidong. It seems that some things can't be avoided!

Of course, Cuban did it right. Since Hu Weidong entered the Mavericks in 1998, he immediately showed his All-Star strength and quickly settled into the starting position.

The "Big Three" combination of Kidd + Hu Weidong + Hill shocked the entire West. It can be said that there was no such crazy "Big Three" in the Western team at that time. This is like the Warriors coached by old Nelson. There has been a "Big Three" combination, Chris Mullin + Tim Hardaway + Mitch Richmond. The three formed the most powerful combination in the 1990s, and it was also the strongest attack among the Big Three in history. Yes, and the Mavericks are still matched like this.

So it's no wonder that Cuban insisted on letting Hu Weidong play. Just imagine if Hu Weidong played with an injury, what if he won the knockout match, wouldn't he have made it to the Western Conference Finals? Cuban, as a shrewd businessman, could not have Knowing what kind of benefits the team can get when they reach the Western Conference Finals.

And the old Nelson did this, well, not to mention a whole season in vain, and made many of Cuban's plans have to be put on hold. Is this Cuban acceptable? !

Now it seems that Cuban is very dissatisfied with Nelson. He believes that Nelson is simply relying on the old and selling the old. The team is his own. He will let whoever he wants to play in the game. When is your head coach still giving orders in front of the boss Ah!

In a word, my team does not allow such awesome people to exist!

And the arrogant old Nelson is obviously a tragedy!

The reason why Cuban wants Rick Carlisle is because he has been serving as the team's chief assistant coach in the Hans, and he has a long time, so he can be the head coach of the Mavericks in the new season, plus he wants to. Nowitzki, since they are all made by Han people, it is better to kill them and ask Bruce to come over.

No, Cuban specifically inquired about Rick Carlisle's contract. After learning that Rick Carlisle's assistant coach contract expired, he immediately met and chatted privately. The results are good and bad. The good thing is that Rick Carlisle has no objection to coming to the Mavericks to coach, and the bad thing is that Cuban has to discuss it with Bruce himself, because the Bruce will also let Rick Carlisle be the head coach in the new season. And in Dallas, you said how people would choose, and besides, Rick Carlisle is a native of New York, and he has stayed in the Hans for so long, whether to go to a strange team or stay in the original team to coach, any fool knows what to do. select!

So this time Cuban just took advantage of Stern's opportunity to hold an industry committee to come to New York to discuss with Bruce in person.

Bruce was also stunned when he learned what happened. He didn't expect that Cuban and old Nelson would still have this trouble, which is a bit interesting!
