Chapter 195 Nelson's Electric Chapter!
Chapter 195 Nelson's Phone Call!
On the stage, Billups held his No. 11 jersey, Wallace held his No. [-], and Starks chose the No. [-] jersey after weighing because of Wallace.
When Chris Mullin picked up the No. 17 jersey that had been worn for many years and witnessed his most glorious moment, all the reporters and media in the media hall burst into a burst of applause!
Bruce looked at this player who had made great contributions to the Warriors, and unconsciously he was moved!
The fans sitting in front of the TV watched the TV with tears in their eyes, and still looked at Mullin around with his friendly smile. Everyone couldn't help but fell into the passionate years of the Warriors!
When the press conference was over, the moment Bruce walked out of the hall one after another, a large number of fans on the arena square outside the window suddenly burst into huge cheers, which were mixed with the joy of the old fans who had returned to Mullin. tears!
At this moment, seeing the excited look of the fans outside the window, the tears in Mullin's eyes could no longer hold back.
Bruce watched this touching scene quietly. Even though he had never really watched Mullin play, he was deeply shocked by this scene!
After finishing the press conference about Mullin joining the Warriors, Bruce immediately threw himself into the evaluation of free agents and some potential transactions!
On August 8, when Bruce was frowning and thinking about Mark Jackson, the phone placed on the table suddenly rang!
"Hello, this is Bruce Young!"
Nelson looked at the trade application placed on the table and said with a smile, "Hello, Bruce, I'm Downey!"
Hearing this familiar voice, Bruce subconsciously showed a playful smile: "It seems that this old fox has something good to do!"
"Aha, Donny, do you feel very refreshed recently?" Bruce said with a smile.
In this summer that made all the managers excited, Nelson frantically asked other teams in the league about the feasibility of the trade because of the transformation of the Mavericks.
After his unremitting efforts and his excellent personnel, he completed some deals with the Pistons and Rockets before Bruce held a press conference!
But now that he suddenly received a call from this unusually active old fox, Bruce couldn't help secretly looking forward to it!
"Haha, aren't you the same?" Thinking of Bruce's contract extension and the signing of Starks and Mullin, who are very popular in the free agent market, Nelson shook his head regretfully!
"Donnie, you've become the headlines of the media recently!" Bruce thought of the previous transactions of Nelson, and the two days of continuous bombardment in the newspapers, so he couldn't help but want to tease this old fox!
"It's not comfortable at all!" Thinking of the powerful ability of the media to entangle, Nelson said with a wry smile: "I hate those guys who are like flies!"
"Hahaha!!" Bruce seemed to see Nelson, laughed twice, then changed his tone, and said seriously: "Donnie, you didn't call me because you wanted to invite me to join you Go ride a horse at a horse farm in Dallas?"
"Hehe, little guy, can't you talk about life with me?" Nelson shrugged helplessly when he heard Bruce's words, then took a serious look at the documents on the table, and asked tentatively after a while: "Is there any Interested in participating in a large-scale transaction?"
"Oh? A large-scale transaction??" Bruce said in surprise.
Since the end of the freeze period this summer, although some teams have completed some transactions one after another, the big deal mentioned to Nelson has not happened. Now I suddenly heard the other party mention this matter, and the curiosity in my heart was raised for a while. Get up!
"That's right, this will be a very wide-ranging transaction!" Nelson said with certainty, then he closed the documents on the table with force, and said seriously: "The person who initiated the transaction this time is the one from Boston who lived and Unsatisfactory guy!"
"Rick Pitino?" Hearing Nelson's words, Bruce's face suddenly revealed a strange look!
Rick Pitino's previous achievements in the NCAA were amazing. When he led the University of Kentucky to the final national championship of the year in 1996, he got an invitation from the Boston Celtics.
He came to this once extremely brilliant team with a solemn promise, and the Celtics gave him extremely powerful rights. He not only served as the team coach in this team, but also served as the The duties of the team general manager, executive president and team president.
The rights in this team can be said to be strong, but as the team has been tepid and even somewhat depraved, Pitino has gradually been questioned by local fans and the team!
Under this invisible pressure and fans' doubts, Pitino is eager to use one or several transactions to reverse his impression and the team's doubts!
"That's it, this guy is a bit crazy!" Nelson said with emotion!
After listening to Nelson's narration, Bruce couldn't help being moved.
Although the current lineup of the Celtics does not have many players who can excite him, this team has gathered a large number of high-quality rookies and good role players!
"Who else?" Bruce thought about the pros and cons, and thought that several teams might appear in this transaction, thought for a while and then asked.
"Sir!!" Nelson said suddenly and seriously.
Although the Jazz only have Malone and Stockton left after Hornacek announced his retirement, the strength of this seemingly old team is enough to keep them in a strong team for two to three years. .
Judging from their current performance, it is obvious that they have realized the serious problem of the aging team!
"Has Jerry (Sloan) finally realized this?" Bruce said with a smile. Hearing the news of the Jazz, it reminded him of the "AK-47" Andrei Kirilian who was far away in Russia. Come on!
"Without this tough guy, what kind of adjustments will the Jazz make?" Bruce is looking forward to the Jazz's operation after the loss of Kirilenko, thinking that the Jazz will lose an important cornerstone for rebuilding the team. , but he couldn't tell the awkwardness in his heart!
"Rick invited us to sit in Boston, when do you have time?" Nelson obviously couldn't wait.
With his entry last season, coupled with the huge investment of the new owner Mark Cuban, the desire for the Mavericks to reach the playoffs has become even stronger!
"How about August 8th?" Bruce pondered for a moment, thought about the recent arrangements and itinerary, and then said expectantly.
"Okay, I just want to complete some things recently, so let's set it on the 15th!" Nelson replied happily.
After Nelson's call ended, Bruce couldn't help thinking with his eyes twinkling!
The matter about Foyle is obviously something Bruce is eager to solve. If he doesn't deal with it as soon as possible, I'm afraid this good player will become a member of the other team's lineup without getting anything in return!
From this summer to the present, other teams are constantly strengthening their lineups. This is also a huge opportunity brought about by this summer known as the "big riot"!
And Bruce's removal of the contract renewal of the previous few people and the signing of Mullin this summer caused some waves, but in this summer full of people, he seemed a little calm!
Thinking about the lineup, Bruce thought about it for a while, and then dialed Wilkens' number!
"Lenny, do you think John (Starks) will do something at shooting guard?"
After receiving Bruce's call, especially after hearing the content, Wilkens couldn't help but weigh it secretly, thought about the existence of this possibility, and then solemnly said: "John's style of shooting guard is very suitable, but once In this case, the position of Dell (Curry) and the position of Vinny (Del Negro) will be a bit awkward!"
"This..." Thinking of the large number of shooting guards in the team, Bruce immediately showed a bitter smile!
Since Negro's expiring contract was traded, although the opponent's skill has been greatly inferior to before, he has some similarities with Curry in shooting. It would be a waste to abandon him, but once he is used , the position of the shooting guard is a bit crowded.
If Larry Hughes with vague positioning is added, there will be as many as 4 or 5 players piled up in the shooting guard position, which will cause huge waste and instability in the team !
"Our current lineup has been greatly reinforced. If we add another player on the back line, we will become the most surprising team in the league!" Thinking of the possible hidden dangers and With regard to the lineup, Wilkens couldn't help but have a headache!
"So, what about Mark? Do we still need him?" Bruce asked Wilkens a little unwillingly!
"Well, I'm afraid we won't need this veteran to join for the time being!" Although Wilkens was as unwilling as Bruce, the fact that the back line was bloated was enough to make him make the most correct choice!
After receiving some hesitant answers from Wilkens and the fact that the team lineup does not need Mark Jackson for the time being, Bruce sighed regretfully, and said helplessly: "Sorry, Lanny, you may have to appease Mark. For a moment, I don't want to give this guy the impression of being dishonest!"
"Okay!" Wilkens shook his head with a wry smile, especially thinking of the other party's happy appearance after he sent the invitation before, which made him feel embarrassed for a while!
The call with Wilkens is over. Although the veteran will not be obtained for the time being, as the season progresses and some problems arise, Bruce has great confidence to trade the veteran!
Sorry for being late.
