Chapter 178 Garnett sits firmly on the Diaoyutai and seeks the moon
Knicks general manager Scott Layden is not easy to deal with. He is the son of former Utah Jazz coach and general manager Frank Layden. Because of this relationship, Scott Layden also worked for the Jazz.
The same coaching job. In the 1981-82 season, he served as a talent scout and assistant coach. Before the start of the 1982-83 season, he was promoted to the team's assistant coach until 1988. During this period, Scott Redden was the most
What everyone knows is that he selected the then unknown Gonzaga University point guard: John Stockton in the 1984 draft. The next year, he was selected with the 13th pick in the draft.
Karl Malone. Since the 1988-90 season, he has served as the team's director of player personnel and assistant coach, but he only served as an assistant for a short time before fully immersing himself in the work of the player personnel director.
As mentioned above, the Jazz are the mortal enemy of the Han Chinese team, and Scott Layden’s father, Frank Layden, is the meritorious bishop of the Jazz. It can be said that if Jerry Sloan does not retire, then the Jazz will undoubtedly be the number one.
That person is Frank Layden.
Frank Layden has done so much for the Jazz, and both father and son also have deep feelings for the Jazz. How Bruce dealt with the Jazz this year, both father and son remember it in their hearts, but they don't just seize the opportunity to do it.
The Han people team is here, firstly, to show off their business capabilities in front of the little fat man, and secondly, to avenge the Jazz and disgust the Han people team, that's for sure.
Of course, this is all Scott Layden can do. In fact, his so-called business ability is very poor. How bad is it?
So bad that during Scott Layden's tenure, the Knicks he ran were dubbed "the worst team in sports" by ESPN.
Scott Layden's "miraculous" transactions back then were all about Bruce Ray. Anyway, whoever asked him to be the general manager would be unlucky. The thing that Bruce couldn't accept the most about this guy was that he made a four-way deal.
In the trade, Scott Layden traded the aging Patrick Ewing to the Seattle SuperSonics. When fans asked why Ewing was traded, he replied: In the past few seasons, Ewing has aged.
With his injury status plummeting, the team management believes that this transaction is most beneficial to the team's future.
Cold-blooded, selfish, and ruthless are all words that can be used to describe Scott Layden. Especially because of how much he has paid for the Knicks, he should be able to play in the Knicks until he retires, as can "Admiral" Robinson.
I don't think it's possible that his situation will be much better than Ewing's when he retires. Why didn't the Spurs management trade him when he was aging and his injury status plummeted? This explains the problem.
In fact, this is quite good. The combination of a fat guy and poor business ability is indeed a good match. At least Bruce is very relieved about the current situation of the Knicks.
And when Kobe found out that the Knicks actually sent someone to ignore him and go directly to his family, to be honest Kobe was very disappointed.
What he was disappointed about was why his father didn't tell him. Shouldn't he be allowed to know all this? Maybe it was because of other reasons.
Kobe is not stupid, he still understands his father, and he also understands him. As long as the price is right, he can ask him to go to any team, but now Kobe wants to say NO...
Not to mention how happy I am now to stay in the Hanren team, even if he is in the Taizi Ye, he can't just leave at any time, so who am I as an undergraduate? Isn't that a wolf-hearted thing?
He definitely couldn't do it, so that's why his father never told him. His father must have wanted to wait for an opportunity, when Kobe's rookie contract ended or when he wanted to compete for the championship and ask for someone from the team to fall out...
…
These are all things that may happen, but Kobe has also thought about it. As long as the prince does not take the initiative to trade him, then he will not take the initiative to leave the Han team. The prince has paid too much for him. A scholar will die for his confidant.
As an undergraduate, I will definitely devote myself to the Han people until my death! (This word came from a book called "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" that the prince sent him last time. In this book, his favorite was Zhuge Liang.
person of great wisdom)
Have you seen so much?
Guaguai Longdi Dong! It seems that what I sent him is the English translation. No wonder he can read it so fast. Sure enough, the letters are read much faster than the Chinese characters!
…
Kobe doesn't want to leave, but there is no guarantee for others. At least some people's minds have already wandered to other places.
Of course, this is talking about Garnett. He definitely doesn’t want to wear the title of third player on the team. He is still convinced when Mourning is on top of him. Who knows that Mourning has stayed a few more years than him?
In addition, he is the first player to be selected in the history of the team since its establishment, and everyone knows the meaning of this.
But if there is another person on his head who is smaller than him and even more powerful than himself, he will not be able to bear it. Kobe is so virtuous and capable. Just because he is the No. 4 pick, I am still the No. 5 pick.
Xiu, how much more Kobe do you have than me?
Could it be that just because Kobe was trained by Jordan, I didn’t see how well he was trained. He wasn’t the same player!
Just because Kobe is taller and more handsome than everyone else on the team, I don’t think I’m any worse than him. What’s more, there’s another handsome guy in the team, Steve Nash, who’s even more handsome than Kobe.
That went.
All in all, I am dissatisfied with Kobe being the captain. Not only am I dissatisfied, but Kidd's bald head was also dissatisfied and was traded by the team.
So the Knicks sent someone to persuade him to join. Garnett was basically tempted, but the Knicks already had Christian Laettner at the power forward position. Didn't he serve as a substitute in the past? That would definitely not work.
, it’s already unreasonable enough for him to jump to his rival in the same city. If he still hasn’t got the starting position, then it’s not Tang Jiatuo’s fault...
My heart is beating, but I still have to distinguish the priorities clearly. Even if I want to leave the Hanren team, I will definitely be the boss or the second child. The starting position is the minimum standard.
Of course, there are many teams now seeking to trade him. Garnett and his agent are also waiting and watching. After all, it is not too late to talk after the season is over.
Next year will be Garnett's third year, and there can be team options. Player options used to be a way to give players more money. In a long-term contract, the player often gets the Bird Rights.
Set a player option every year. Once the player obtains the Bird rights, he activates the option, becomes a free agent, and then signs a new contract with a higher salary with the team using the Bird clause.
The team option means the team has the right to choose. Like a 5+1 player option contract, in the 6th year after 5 years, the player has the right to choose whether to play for the team again. If the player does not choose to stay with the team
, he can opt out of the contract and become a free agent: the same is true for the team option.
This also means that next year the Hanren team will decide whether to continue to negotiate a contract extension with him with a big contract or whether a team will match him and trade him away.
No matter what the situation is, it is a win-win result for Garnett. This is also the main reason why he has not taken the initiative to negotiate with the team. He is sitting on the Diaoyutai. Besides, he is a system player. I don’t know how many teams want to
To get him, it is impossible for the Han team not to know this, and when he first joined the team, he was "hidden in the snow" and he suffered a lot. How can he treat himself if he doesn't come back with revenge next year?
…
Haha! Next year I want to see how the arrogant prince begs him to renew his contract, it makes me happy just thinking about it!
