Chapter 589 All parties are surging three
"As for Kobe Bryant, everyone is quite clear. New York's new favorite, Bruce will only take Kobe Bryant out for trading at this time unless he is an idiot. Anyone in the Han Chinese can take out for trading, but only Kobe Bryant is not that Bruce will not take out. Moreover, Kobe Bryant has a close relationship with Bruce. In addition, after the 1996 draft, Bruce immediately helped Kobe Bryant become the captain of the team. You should know that the boss of the team was Alonzo Mooning in the past, and Bruce dared to make him the captain when Kobe Bryant entered the league, which shows how much he valued him. On the other hand, who can do it, can Patrick Ewing give up the boss of the team to Stephen Marbury. I think you don't dare to have so many, including the boss."
"Take the saying of Bruce and his country. Bruce has a favor to Kobe Bryant, so Kobe Bryant is currently no trader for any team in the league. Unless the Han people really do not have the ability to help Kobe Bryant win the championship in the future, I believe Kobe Bryant will not leave the Han people easily."
Jeff Van Gundy has been in New York for so long and has almost understood the internal situation of the Han people in the city. It can be said that since the Han people announced the reconstruction next season, he has used his brain to study the Han people from the inside to the outside, from the management to the players, and is waiting to see if he can dig out the players he wants from the Han people.
Glen Rice is the player Jeff Van Gundy needs most at the moment. Small forwards have always been the biggest problem for the Knicks. He must find a way to strengthen this position with general manager Scott Rayden, otherwise the team will still not go much further next season.
Of course, Jeff Van Gundy had another favorite player in his heart who did not tell the people present, that was the Han substitute point guard Mark Jackson. Mark Jackson was chosen by the Knicks himself, and he had played for five years. It can be said that Mark Jackson still has feelings for the Knicks, and his strength is still very good, so he is completely a powerful supplement.
But the problem is that there are many point guards on the Knicks. Not to mention Stephen Marbury, who is from New York, there are three substitutes, Greg Anthony, Chris Chiles, and Charlie Ward, who are on the bench, can be said to have no Mark Jackson's position. In fact, the most important thing is that the Knicks have many players with big contracts. If Mark Jackson is traded, then the boss James Dolan will have to pay even higher. The sum of the three substitutes is not as much as Mark Jackson alone, so Jeff Van Gundy dared not easily say the idea of trading Mark Jackson back.
The Knicks executives in the conference room were silent after hearing what Jeff Van Gundy said. They didn't know what to say. The team's boss is James Dolan after all. This angry little fat man is not a good master. Recently, the Knicks senior management, including the head coach team, has been scolded by the little fat man, so they dare not express any opinions to refute. After all, no one wants to be scolded by the little fat man.
The people below didn't say anything, and James Dolan, who was sitting in the main seat, kept knocking his fingers, gloomy and seemed to be thinking about something.
"Boss, if this is the case, we should still propose a deal to the Han people, even if it only reaches Glen Rice! As for Kobe Bryant, let's go and ask. Even if the Han people don't agree to the deal, it's okay." Scott Raden raised his glasses and said.
He had to say something, and everyone below didn't speak out, but if his team general manager didn't say anything, he would give the little fat man a chance to scold him again, and he didn't want to be scolded again.
James Dolan nodded after listening to Scott Rayden's suggestion, and it seemed that this was the only way to go now.
"I repeat again. Now I'm taking out all the unnecessary players here to trade. Next season, don't not trade just because of the local New York background. Now the Knicks have passed the stage where they need local New York backgrounds the most. It's okay to trade. New York is a metropolis and there is no shortage of stars here. The Knicks' goal in the next stage is that as long as they have the strength, they can join the Knicks. I will refuse everyone, so even if they trade with other teams, they have to clean up some useless players for me?!"
"As for the Han people, I will trade as much as they can from them. I will refuse everyone. In short, I don't want the Han people to be able to play a role in the Madison Garden Arena next season. It is your biggest task to consume their overall strength. There can only be one NBA team in New York, that is, our Knicks!"
After saying that, James Dolan got up and left. He handed over the follow-up matters to the team general manager Scott Rayden. If Scott Rayden can't do this well, he doesn't mind changing the general manager, he has the money!
...
The Knicks are thinking about how to trade good players from their city opponent Han Ren to supplement themselves, while on the other hand, what are the Lakers planning?!
The Lakers are actually similar to the Knicks, but they have a big idea. Jerry West not only favored Kobe Bryant and Glen Rice, but also favored the Han head coach Paul Westfal. As for the Han inside double tower combination Alonzo Mooning and Kevin Garnett, because the Lakers have Shaquille O'Neal and Veratti Divac, the power-type inside combination is not urgently needed.
Look, Jerry West deliberately ran to Old Bath's villa and plotted something.
"Jerry, what medicine do you think Bruce is selling? The Han people have four All-Star players in their hands. He is still thinking about rebuilding next season. Will there be any conspiracy here?!" Old Bass asked slowly after taking a cigar.
In Old Bass's opinion, Bruce must have had some conspiracy, otherwise would he have made such a decision because he was squeezed by the door? Unless 1998 was a year of draft, it would be difficult for Bruce to do this.
Old Bass believes that Bruce definitely wants to put all the valuable players on the team on the shelves through reconstruction to trade with other teams in the league, and prepare to make a big splash in the 1998 draft?!
This is possible. After all, the Han people have been very awesome in their drafts over the years. They either choose high-quality players or all-star players. This really surprised many people, including himself.
And if Bruce really takes his current player out to trade the signing position, it means that he must be planning a rookie in 1998, which is definitely big news.
