Chapter 474: Bruce's Insidious Trick Four
If a head coach who leads the team to play to the Eastern Conference Finals is actually ruthlessly fired by the boss, Larry Tanebaum is indeed a bit crazy, of course he only thinks that Bruce is nervous.
However, in Larry Tanebaum's opinion, if Paul Westfal was introduced to the Raptors as Bruce said, he might have really wanted it. Paul Westfal has known him. After all, the team considered Nash when choosing to build the team core. Since Nash is one of the goals of building the team, why wouldn't we look at the overall Han people together? Paul Westfal is one of the highlights. It can be said that the reason why Nash could not play in the Mavericks was undoubtedly that Nelson gave Nash a low playing time, and it did not regard Nash as tactical core like Paul Westfal. It is precisely because Paul Westfal regards Nash as tactical core that he has paid attention to this young man who has just entered the league.
It can be said that Paul Westfal made Nash, and Nash also rewarded Paul Westfal's trust in him.
If Paul Westfal joins the Raptors together, then the strength of the Raptors will increase greatly next season, and the Raptors will gain a foothold in the league. God knows that he has been worried about the Raptors being able to gain a foothold in Toronto as soon as possible recently. If Paul Westfal coaches, at least he will have some guarantees in terms of results. He will enter the playoffs in 5 years and 2 years, so Paul Westfal's coaching results are still very good.
"If it were Paul Westfal, we Raptors would, but there is one thing I hope you can solve my doubts for Bruce?!" Larry Tanebaum asked with a little hesitation.
I don't want a head coach like Paul Westfal. The reason why Larry Tanebaum is hesitant is that he is afraid of being cheated by Bruce. God knows that he has been threatened by Bruce for a short time, and now he is giving benefits again. Why does Larry Tanebaum feel that there are conspiracies everywhere!
"Larry, you want to ask why I introduced my head coach Paul Westfal to you, right?" Bruce said disapprovingly.
He still knows what Larry Tanebaum thinks. After all, it has been more decades of experience. Larry Tanebaum was threatened by him just now and now he is giving him gifts. He must be vigilant, for fear of being cheated by him again.
But the problem is that I don’t plan to cheat Larry Tanebaum anymore. Why is my kind-hearted idea understood by others as having ulterior motives? Bruce couldn’t figure it out, is he doing a good job so well that they all didn’t believe in themselves?!
"Yes!" Larry Tanebaum said bluntly.
After all, he didn't understand Bruce's mind and just gave him a head coach for free. No matter how you look at it, it's a trick. Will there be any conspiracy to drive towards him?
"Actually, it's easy to understand. Paul Westfal's contract period has arrived. I'm not going to renew his contract with him anymore, that's it!" Bruce replied indifferently.
Actually, it is true that Paul Westfal's contract expired after the end of this season. Bruce was unwilling to talk to him about the contract renewal. There was no way to let him leave. He couldn't keep him as the chief assistant coach. The team's chief assistant coach was left to Rick Carlisle. Paul Westfal himself is the former head coach of the Han people. You can't be wronged to be an assistant coach, right? Isn't this a slap in the face? Bruce doesn't want to break the grinding and kill the donkey like this. After all, Paul Westfal has made great contributions to the Han people in the early stage. People have no credit and have worked hard, right? So letting Paul Westfal leave is the best choice.
Of course, Bruce also gave two suggestions for Paul Westfal. One is to join Nash and continue to use his warm-up in the league. The other is to go to China to retire. If Paul Westfal really wants to go to China, then Bruce will no longer replace head coach for Mountain City Fire Dragons, and let Paul Westfal do whatever he wants in China? He won't care.
Larry Tanebaum was completely confused after hearing Bruce's explanation. He didn't expect that the fact was like this. When the contract expired, Bruce did not renew the contract? What is this abnormal operation? You know that Paul Westfal led the team to the playoffs this year and swept the Knicks in the same city? Such a head coach, Bruce, actually chose not to renew the contract. What exactly does Bruce want to do? Are you still planning to change a famous coach to be the head coach?!
No, famous coach?!
At this time, Larry Tanebaum seemed to know something? His eyes were shining.
So that's the case? Bruce will definitely find a famous coach to be the head coach of the Han people next season, so this explains why Bruce no longer renews his contract with Paul Westfal. After all, Paul Westfal is currently considered a pretty good head coach, but if it comes to famous coaches, he is still far from it!
If that's the case, it can explain why Bruce introduced Paul Westfal to himself.
I'm afraid it's because of this that Bruce blamed Paul Westfal for himself. Larry Tanebaum knew that Bruce didn't have such a good heart and gave him so cheaply. It turned out that he was waiting for him here!
"If I guess correctly, will the Han people be in charge next season?!" Larry Tanebaum directly exposed the facts and said.
"Yes, the Han people will indeed have famous coaches in charge next season. This is also the reason why I don't renew my contract with Paul Westfal. How about Larry? I think if Steve and Paul Westfal join the Raptors together, it will be a win-win situation for the Raptors and the Han people, right?!"
Paul Westfal can allow Nash to play a huge role, just like Rick Adelman has "organizational center" Brad Miller. The head coaches who are holding on to one tactics especially like players with a "tactical system". Bruce does not believe that Larry Tanebaum, as the "king of mergers and acquisitions" in Canada, has such a poor vision and cannot see what Paul Westfal plays a role for Nash.
"Win-win, how about a win-win?!" Larry Tanebaum immediately relaxed a lot after knowing that Bruce did not cheat him.
"It's very simple, let's continue to cooperate. I can provide you with high-quality players, but you must be responsible for blocking the team I hate. In fact, that's it." Bruce gradually revealed his sinister intentions.
That's right, the reason why Bruce made this arrangement was to kill the Lakers and the Spurs in the next few years. In fact, if the Spurs didn't get Tim Duncan, they wouldn't have entered the Bruce's eyes at all. Even if they had strong coaching ability, Popovich would still disdain in Bruce's eyes. What Bruce really worried about is the Lakers. With a bustling metropolis like Los Angeles, they can play whatever they want, and they can get what superstars they want, which puts a lot of pressure on Bruce.
