Chapter 302 Formal Signing
The time gradually entered mid-July, and after Kidd and Marbury exchanged teams broke out in early July, a lot of rumors suddenly flooded the league!
When all the team managers were busy, Bruce did not show the slightest intention to trade. Instead, he spent every day in his office, constantly studying some more reliable trades and research on the subordinate teams. !
"Bang bang bang!!"
With a knock on the door, Mu Lin pushed the door and walked in with a tired look!
"Chris, what's the matter?" Bruce asked curiously.
"This team has almost been built. If we can recruit some players to join in the next one to two months, we will basically complete all the team affairs!" Mullin went to the small school on his own. I poured myself a glass of cool and refreshing ice water at the bar counter, and drank it all in one gulp!
"Chris, you did a great job!" Bruce stood up with joy on his face.
Even though this team is much simpler than the Warriors, a series of problems still take up a lot of Mullin's time!
If it wasn't for the participation of the Warriors' own professional team, I'm afraid Mullin would regret taking this job!
"Fortunately, this is just a team like a training camp. If I want to reach a more professional level, I'm afraid I will be exhausted!" Mullin rubbed his cheeks vigorously, and poured himself another glass of ice Water, just walked over slowly!
"Chris, you really should take a good rest!" Seeing Mullin's exhausted appearance, Bruce really felt a little guilty!
Mu Lin came to the seat, put the water glass on the table, and then sat down: "Although this job is very hard, I really enjoy this fulfilling feeling!"
"Well, since you want this!" Bruce shrugged helplessly, and sat down slowly: "Do you have any good suggestions for the team's coaching candidates?"
After hearing this, Mu Lin couldn't help but fell into deep thought!
After a while, in Bruce's anticipation, Mullin said hesitantly: "If possible, I would like to try this challenging job!"
"Uh." Even if Bruce thought that Mullin would propose Carlesimo, it wouldn't surprise him, but now that he said he wanted to try, to be honest, he was really not sure!
Seeing Bruce's expression, Mullin was a little apprehensive: "Well, I just want to experience another charm of the coach, if you have a better candidate."
Before he finished speaking, Bruce shook his hands again and again: "No, no, no, Chris, listen to me!"
"If you want to try it, it's a very good idea, but isn't your energy a bit too overloaded?"
After hearing this, Mullin's expression was shocked, and he hurriedly expressed his opinion: "Don't worry, now that you have left the stadium, the previous vigorous energy can just come in handy!"
Seeing Mullin's earnest expression and not wanting to miss it, Bruce couldn't help laughing and said, "Chris, I know you're very energetic, otherwise Mrs. Chris wouldn't be so charming!"
"Uh..." Mullin looked at Bruce in surprise at first, and then laughed and scolded: "Little guy, didn't Charlize get nourished by you?"
Speaking of this, the two of them showed expressions of "you understand", and then burst out laughing!
After sending Mullin away, Bruce was really surprised and pleasantly surprised!
In his previous life, although Mullin was the general manager of the Warriors, he really showed a good level of coaching!
In addition, he just happened to be the special shooting assistant coach of the Warriors in his previous life. Bruce agreed with 1 things that Mullin wanted to coach!
"This guy..." Bruce shook his head amusedly, and then threw himself into his work again!
On July 7, according to the league and the players union held a small labor negotiation, and finally reached a date on the signing and trading of free agents.
According to the agreement reached by the two parties, starting from the 01-02 season, the two parties will shorten the previously long freezing period by two weeks!
According to the detailed negotiation between the two parties, this agreement will further shorten the date by one day for three years after this season.
With the emergence of this new agreement, not only did a large number of players respond and be excited, but some teams also firmly supported the conclusion of this agreement!
Just after the league announced the news, Bruce stood in the Warriors' press room in a very comfortable mood, looking at the excited Gilbert Arenas, Gerald Wallace and Brian Scarabrian, a burst of excitement suddenly filled his heart!
"Mr. Bruce, do you have any expectations for these three rookies?"
Bruce first looked at the reporter who asked the question with a smile, then looked at the people on both sides who looked forward to looking at him, and said in a very optimistic tone: "You know what an exciting team the Warriors are. , There are a large number of excellent players here, the joining of Gerrard and others will inject exciting fresh blood into this team, with their joining, we will make great progress in the substitute lineup!"
"Thank you very much for your answer. Do you have any exciting plans for the Warriors next season?"
"As the owner and manager of a team, the championship is our only goal and plan, and all work will serve our ultimate goal!" Bruce looked at the reporters in the audience and said confidently The Warriors' plan!
"Wow!!"
In the audience, after Bruce's speech ended, there was a lot of noise!
Bruce's words are not like those team owners and managers, just an illusory goal.
Based on the performance of the Warriors last season and the experience of playing against various strong teams, everyone is looking forward to the performance of the Warriors next season!
"Mr. Lanney, can you tell us about your requirements for these rookies?"
A reporter from a local TV station seemed to want to bring back today's topic. When everyone was discussing the feasibility of the Warriors' championship, he asked Wilkens, who was silent on the side, loudly!
As the reporter asked the question, the rest of the reporters stopped discussing and looked at Wilkens who was smiling on the stage and was about to answer!
"You should be very clear about the tactical system of the Warriors. In order to make the players and the team achieve great success, we have always pursued the concept of team basketball. Therefore, with the joining of these three little guys, my request is that we must Put the team first, and only when you fight as a team can you have a great hope of winning the game!"
Hearing Wilkens' request to several people, the reporters in the audience all looked at Arenas and others!
Bruce, who was sitting on the other side, expressed great agreement with Wilkens' words with applause after listening to it.
Just like what most people think, no matter how strong the individual ability of the player is, basketball alone will not achieve great success after all!
The appearance of stars is only prepared for the last and critical moments of the game, but the entire game lasted as long as 48 minutes.
Therefore, if you want to win the championship, defense is indispensable, and the team can bring that golden trophy!
Even though Arenas and the others were a little awkward, the team owners and coaches expressed their opinions one after another, but no matter how awkward and uncomfortable they were, they had to abide by the team's rules after all!
According to the concept of American basketball, even though the NCAA plays "real basketball" that is familiar to all Americans, but now that they worship individual heroism, players basically want to be "Superman" on the court.
After the applause ended, Bruce subconsciously glanced at Arenas, who was much more awkward than the other two, and couldn't help feeling worried!
In his previous life, his perception of Arenas determined that he would not be a team player, and once he gave up singles and crazy scoring, then he would not be that weird Arenas!
"I hope you can become the same "Crawford" that existed in the Clippers in the previous life!" With a secret sigh, Bruce immediately thought of the guy who was very similar to Arenas in the previous life!
"Gilbert, you were considered a first-round player before the draft, but why did you fall to the second round??"
A reporter's question caused the atmosphere in the media room to stagnate in an instant, and everyone looked at Arenas on the stage with an ugly face!
Although Arenas shockingly led the University of Arizona to the NCAA finals last season, his dual-guard advantage is very good from the current point of view. In this era, all managers basically regard it as "" Four unlike" general bad evaluation!
Arenas, who is 1 meters tall, was very exciting even in college, but after all, the managers of each team use some more professional eyes to evaluate rookies.
Of course, if these guys are allowed to return to the 01 draft, everyone will be scrambling to win Arenas!
"Sorry, since I am honored to be selected by the Warriors, it is my honor, so I will not answer the questions before!" A trace of disappointment flashed in Arenas' eyes, and he glanced at Bruce, who was giving him encouragement. nodded.
After the press conference, Bruce signed Gerald Wallace with a four-year regular rookie contract, Arenas and Scalabrian as second-round picks, even if Bruce wanted to sign a four-year contract, but now Now that he basically signs a two-year contract with the second-round pick, he doesn't want to break the unspoken rules of the league!
On July 7, when a news broke by a person close to the senior management of the Washington Wizards, except for Bruce who felt sorry for the Wizards and Jordan, everyone else sent some cynicism to the Grizzlies!
As the Wizards and Kwame Brown completed the signing, the Grizzlies suddenly put forward the proposal of exchanging Mike Bibby for Kwame Brown!
Jordan, who had great expectations for Brown, basically chose to ignore this trade application!
Watching the delusional remarks about the Grizzlies on TV, Bruce couldn't help but smiled disdainfully at these so-called brick beasts!
"If this deal goes through, will Jordan recover the reputation he lost later?" Bruce fantasized about guys like Bibby, Jordan, Brandon Haywood, Larry Hughes and Richard Hamilton , I couldn't help but sigh with regret!
Afterwards, as each team won some players in the free agent market, the busiest period of this offseason slowly began!
