"If you have anything to say, just say it!"

As soon as he entered 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, if he said it later, he would definitely shock Bruce.

"What's wrong?! Hesitant, Mark, this doesn't look like the shrewd businessman like you?!"

The more Cuban behaves like this, the more frustrated Bruce feels. At this moment, Bruce still feels guilty. After all, because he is familiar with Cuban’s family history, he has taken some money from him. Although the money is not too much, it is because this is a scam.

, so Bruce doesn’t have much confidence. As long as Cuban doesn’t use his previous video website as an issue, he won’t be afraid.

"That's it, I want to negotiate a deal with you!" Cuban finally stated his purpose.

trade?!

Bruce looked confused. Fortunately, it was not a matter of the video website. It could be traded. Who should be traded?!

Could it be that Cuban took a fancy to Nowitzki like he did in his previous life?!

Don’t tell me, it’s really the case!

"I want Dirk Nowitzki and your team's chief assistant Rick Carlisle!" Cuban replied seriously.

What the hell?!

Bruce stood up excitedly after hearing Cuban's answer.

Is Cuban not crazy? In addition to Nowitzki, he also wants Rick Carlisle?!

This completely shocked Bruce.

That...that...

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

You must know that although Rick Carlisle is still an assistant coach in New York (the assistant coach contract has expired), Bruce has actually been preparing to move Rick Carlisle to the position of head coach, waiting for the new season.

It was officially announced before the start.

On the other hand, the Mavericks have the famous coach Nelson coaching the team! Why did they bring Rick Carlisle to Dallas and let him be the chief assistant?!

Head coach and chief assistant coach, fools all know how to choose!

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

ah?!"

"Being the chief assistant coach to Old Nelson?!" Bruce asked doubtfully what he was thinking.

After hearing what Bruce said, Cuban also knew that Bruce had misunderstood him.

At this moment, Cuban was 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 Nelson got along very well when they first started working together. After all, Nelson's qualifications were there, and if they really wanted to change to another head coach, Nelson might not be the one who would be effective. That's a point.

But in 1999, a big conflict broke out between Cuban and Nelson. At that time, the Mavericks, under the leadership of Nelson, reached the knockout stage of the Western Conference playoffs. Hu Weidong was injured in G3 of the knockout round and was absent from G4.

In G5, the Mavericks were trailing 1-3. The Mavericks' team doctor believed that Hu Weidong could play, but Nelson firmly refused. Hu Weidong even took the initiative to ask to play. Cuban went to Nelson's office to ask him to let him go.

When Hu Weidong came on the court, Nelson immediately refused. Cuban was so angry that he slammed the door and walked out. At that time, Nelson said that he was the one who hired Hu Weidong from China to the Mavericks, so he had the responsibility to be responsible for Hu Weidong's entire career. In the end, Hu Weidong

He never played again in the following games, and the Mavericks were eliminated by their opponents with a score of 2-4.

I have to say that fate is so wonderful. In the previous life, Cuban and Nelson had a bad relationship because of Dirk Nowitzki's injury, but in this life, he became Hu Weidong. It seems that some things cannot be avoided!

Of course, Cuban was right to do this. From the moment Hu Weidong entered the Mavericks in 1998, he immediately showed his All-Star level strength and quickly secured his starting position.

The "Big Three" combination of Kidd + Hu Weidong + Hill shocked the entire Western Conference. It can be said that there had never been such a crazy "Big Three" among the Western Conference teams at that time. This is like the Warriors coached by Nelson.

There has been a combination of the "Big Three", Chris Mullin + Tim Hardaway + Mitch Richmond. The three formed the most powerful combination in the 1990s and were also the strongest offensively among the Big Three in history.

, and the Mavericks still match it like this.

So I really don’t blame Cuban for insisting on letting Hu Weidong play. Just imagine what if Hu Weidong played with an injury and defeated his opponent in the knockout round. Wouldn’t it mean that he would reach the Western Conference Finals? As a shrewd businessman, Cuban couldn’t help but

Know what kind of benefits the team can get after reaching the Western Conference Finals.

And when Nelson did this, he wasted a whole season and put many of Cuban's plans on hold. Can Cuban accept this?!

Now it seems that Cuban is very dissatisfied with Nelson. He thinks that Nelson is simply relying on his elders. The team belongs to him and he can let whoever he wants to play. When did you, a head coach, still give orders in front of the boss?

Yes!

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

And the awesome 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 Hanren team for a relatively long time, and he can definitely serve as the head coach of the Mavericks in the new season. In addition, he wants to

Nowitzki, since they are all produced by Han people, he might as well be familiar with them and just ask Bruce to come over.

No, Cuban specifically inquired about Rick Carlisle's contract. After learning that Rick Carlisle's assistant coaching contract expired, he immediately met in private and had a chat. The result was good and bad. The good thing is that

Rick Carlisle is not opposed to coming to coach the Mavericks, but the bad thing is that Cuban must discuss it with Bruce in person, because the Blues also want Rick Carlisle to be the head coach in the new season. In New York and in Dallas, you

Let’s talk about what other people would choose. Besides, Rick Carlisle is a native of New York and has been with the Han Chinese team for so long. Whether he goes to a strange team or stays in the original team to coach, any fool knows how to choose!

So this time Cuban took advantage of Stern's owners' committee meeting and came to New York to discuss it with Bruce in person.

Bruce was also stunned after learning what happened. He didn't expect that there would be such a quarrel between Cuban and Nelson. This is a bit interesting!
