The NBA started with helping Iverson win the championship

Chapter 268 Li Xun's plan to leave the team

Since Li Xun traveled through time, apart from the former head coach Michael Curry, Dumars is the one he is most grateful for.

Dumas has given Li Xun a lot of authority over the years, and many transactions are often made by Li Xun alone.

If it were any other general manager, it might be difficult to give Li Xun such great power.

And Dumars is a super star of the Pistons, and all the championships in the history of the Pistons have his shadow.

The previous champion of the Bad Boys, he was the core shooting guard in the team, and his role was actually greater than that of Hamilton in the later grassroots five tigers.

Dumars contributed a lot to the later Grassroots Five Tigers champions, and even the Pistons dynasty that is about to be established now.

Under such circumstances, it is disheartening that Gers dared to fire him at the risk of the world.

Although the NBA is a commercial league and everything is a business, Li Xun still cannot accept such impersonality.

Seeing Li Xun's pale face, the other players stopped talking. Of course, they also knew the relationship between Li Xun and Dumas.

The new boss Gers may want to establish his own authority in the team, so he directly took the high-ranking Dumars as the knife.

Of course, he can't take Li Xun as a knife, because the Pistons are still counting on Li Xun to build a dynasty this season.

It may be because of the conversation two days ago, Li Xun's attitude made Geers do this kind of thing.

Under normal circumstances, Dumars did step down as the general manager of the Pistons shortly after Gers bought the Pistons.

It is said that he resigned voluntarily, but everyone knows that he was fired.

He has worked in the Pistons all his life, how could he be willing to leave.

If he really wanted to retire, he couldn't have gone to the Kings as a special advisor to the general manager.

"Damn it!"

Li Xun had no choice but to curse secretly.

Gers is the boss, he has personnel rights, what can I do with him?
Fortunately, this is my last year in the Pistons. When this season is over, I really have to think carefully about whether to continue to stay in the Pistons.

Originally, Li Xun really wanted to die in the Pistons and become a model of one person, one city.

It's a pity that the current boss is a real dog. If Li Xun doesn't want to be angry later, leaving the Pistons is the only choice.

Choosing a team is actually choosing an owner.

If the upper beam is not straight and the lower beam is crooked, and the boss is not good, how can the players work hard.

The more Li Xun thought about it, the more angry he became, and he even began to think about which team to join after leaving the team.

The eastern team will not consider it. Li Xun has played in the eastern region for three years, and he wants to conquer the wild west.

Even if he wants to stay in the East, the Bulls or the Nets are Li Xun's most likely choices.

The Bulls were chosen because Li Xun felt that he owed Rose and wanted to give Rose a championship.

If you choose the Nets, of course you want to play with the UAE, and by the way, mention the historical status of the UAE.

The current Nets are in a half-dead state, and their strength is not bad, and they can almost reach the fourth or fifth position in the Eastern Conference.

But there is still a long way to go before winning the championship.

If you want to go to the west, in fact, there are not many choices.

The Lakers definitely can't go. This team has been branded with exclusive marks by too many super giants. If Li Xun goes, it can only be regarded as icing on the cake.

The Spurs disagree with Li Xun's ideas, and Li Xun doesn't want Parker to cuckold himself in the future, even though he doesn't have a woman yet.

Parker is a cuckold, and the Spurs don't bring him to many team gatherings. In the words of his fellow countryman Dior, they don't want their wives or girlfriends to be targeted by Parker.

The Kings owner is an Indian, the Thunder has Durant, and the Clippers owner Sterling has not been exposed to racial discrimination.

After counting, the only teams in the west that can interest Li Xun are the Mavericks, Timberwolves and three or four teams.

Thinking of the five old monsters who kindly invited him to join the Mavericks just now, and Cuban is indeed a good boss, Li Xun was a little moved.

But this season still has to go on, not for Gers, but for himself, Tang Shuai and other teammates.

The significance of the dynasty is too great.

Once the dynasty is established, Li Xun and his group will forever be recorded in the annals of history.

It is difficult for fans to tell who the championship champion is each year. They may be able to tell in the past 20 years, but they will not know it any further.

You don't even know the championship team, let alone the championship lineup.

But if a dynasty is established, the situation is completely different. Every dynasty team in history has a lineup that is remembered by countless fans.

So in any case, Li Xun will definitely have to play in the Pistons this season.

If Gers finds his way back, Li Xun actually doesn't want to leave the Pistons at all.

Even Detroit is getting worse and worse and less livable.

But Li Xun is also very clear in his heart, how can these super rich people change their ideas at will, so it is almost a foregone conclusion that he will leave the team.

Now that Li Xun hasn't renewed his contract, Gers dares to do so.

If Li Xun renews his contract with the Pistons for another five years, Gers doesn't know what absurd things he will do.

After returning to the hotel, Li Xun thought about it and decided to call Nuo Tianwang of Mavericks.

It is definitely impossible for Li Xun to make any promises to the Mavericks now.

However, some preparatory work can be done.

For example, let the Mavericks start the season poorly.

These 12 years of draft picks are actually very precious, especially the No. [-] pick. Even if Li Xun does not join the Mavericks next season, as long as the Mavericks get the No. [-] pick, they can rebuild perfectly.

Even if they can't get the No. [-] pick and have a high pick, Li Xun can help them get some high-quality rookies.

Such as Bradley Beal, such as Lillard and Zhuang Shen.

Then in the second round, with Dream Chasing Green and Middleton, the Mavericks can directly rebuild in situ.

So no matter whether Li Xun goes to the Mavericks or not, they can get unimaginable benefits.

For the Mavericks team, Li Xun is full of goodwill.

Besides, he owed Nuo Tianwang a championship in the first place, and this could be regarded as a kind of compensation for him.

"Dirk, are you still asleep?"

Li Xun lay on the bed and called Nuo Tianwang.

When Nowitzki heard Li Xun's voice, the excitement in his heart reached an unbearable level.

Calling myself at this time, could it be that Li Xun has figured it out?Does he really want to join the Mavericks?
But it seems unrealistic to join the Mavericks this season, but what about next season?
Anyway, I don't want to retire at the end of this season, I can wait!
"Li, please tell me the good news. This season is over, do you want to join our Mavericks?"

Li Xun quickly denied it, "No, Dirk, don't think too much about it."

"Sometimes the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment."

At this point in time, Li Xun certainly couldn't give King Nuo any guarantee.

And if there is any guarantee, this will involve illegal recruitment, and the fines issued by the alliance will start at least one million dollars.

Of course, I am afraid that all teams in the league are willing to pay this fine.

If they could get Li Xun, let alone a million fine, even a fine of tens of millions, they would never bat an eyelid.

Hearing Li Xun's words, people like Nowitzki immediately saw some clues.

Li Xun did not strongly deny it, that is to say, does he really have the intention of joining the Mavericks?
Hey guys, what the hell happened to the Pistons?Li Xun actually thought about leaving the team?

Outsiders still don't know the news about Dumas being fired. If King Nuo Tian knew the news, he might be able to guess Li Xun's thoughts.

"Li, don't care if you come or not, our Mavericks."

"Our doors are always open for you."

"As long as you come, I'd rather go directly to the bench and make room for you."

What Nowitzki said was really not a scene. If Li Xun really came, he would really be willing to play as a substitute if necessary.

The attraction of the championship to him is too great.

Of course, he also knew that it was impossible for Li Xun to let him play as a substitute, even though Li Xun most often played the fourth position that overlapped with him.

"Dirk, I'll say it again, I'm a perimeter player!"

"I'm a small forward!"

"So how can I grab your starter."

Li Xun said angrily.

I am really a small forward, why does no one believe it?

"Ah, yes, yes, you are a small forward."

"That's more perfect. We will form the most powerful offensive striker combination in NBA history."

Nowitzki said happily.

He is now sure that Li Xun must have the idea of ​​joining the Mavericks, so he wants to strike while the iron is hot and finalize the matter.

"Dirk, stop talking about this."

"Can I give you a suggestion?"

Li Xun quickly changed the subject.

"A recommendation?"

"One hundred, 1 suggestions are fine!"

"I'm even sure that Cuban can change the team name for you."

"Also, I can guarantee that even if the team name is changed, the fans will never have any complaints when they know you are here."

"Don't doubt, you just have such a charm."

Li Xun was completely speechless, good guy, how much King Nuo Tian wanted him.

As for changing the team name, the Mavericks did, but it was not an English team name, but a Chinese translation.

Cuban felt that the Chinese name of Mavericks was too domineering, so he simply changed it to Lone Ranger.

This change is actually better than no change.

After switching to the Lone Ranger, it sounds full of ambiguity, and there is no feeling of vitality like the Mavericks at all.

Well, a bunch of old monsters in the Mavericks are indeed not very energetic.

"I'm suggesting that you perform badly this season."

"If you're lucky, you'll win the No. [-] lottery. Even if you're unlucky, it's easier to have a top-five pick."

"Don't think too much about it, I'm really not preparing to join the Mavericks."

Li Xun said with a smile.

Nowitzki's heart almost jumped out of his chest, dare to say that he doesn't want to come to the Mavericks?Dare to say that you are not preparing for joining the Mavericks?
Isn't this the obvious thing about the lice on the bald man's head?

Nowitzki is at least [-]% sure that Li Xun is really going to come to the Mavericks.

He can't wait to call Cuban immediately and share the good news with him.

Because of the signings, the two of them were a little unhappy. Now that Li Xun is coming, who remembers the shit that happened before.

"Li, don't worry."

"This sucks, our Mavericks have decided."

"Now that we've got five wins, we're definitely not going to win more than nine this season."

"Any other suggestions? For example, which outstanding newcomers to trade?"

"But our Mavericks don't have much bargaining chips, and we can't trade any rookies who are too valuable."

Nowitzki sighed.

"No need, you just need to play badly. It just so happens that you old guys can also take a good rest for a season."

After Li Xun finished speaking, he chatted with Nowitzki a few more times and hung up the phone.

After hanging up the phone here, Li Xun thought about calling Dumas.

As a result, I couldn't get through.

It is expected that Dumars does not want to contact the outside world now.

After playing for the Pistons for half his life, Dumars probably felt ashamed when he ended up like this.

Just when Li Xun was tossing and turning and having trouble falling asleep, Nowitzki had already called Cuban enthusiastically.

"Dirk, this joke isn't funny at all."

"It's not April Fool's Day yet."

"Did you celebrate April Fool's Day so early in Germany?"

Cuban didn't believe it at all, because their Mavericks didn't seem to be attractive to Li Xun at all.

The football market is not big, and there are not many top teammates who are in their prime.

You must know that Garnett, who is also one of the three top power forwards, is no longer good. Duncan is still good, but his state has also declined sharply, and he is no longer as brave as he used to be.

Nowitzki's state has remained good, and he can still easily average 20+ per game this season, but compared to his peak period, it must still be a bit worse.

"What April Fool's Day?"

"It's really not a joke, do you think I'm the kind of person who likes to mess around?"

"If you listen to what Li Xun said to me, you must also think that Li Xun has at least a [-]% possibility of joining the Mavericks."

"Otherwise, why did he call me at this time and tell us to make it bad?"

"You think carefully."

When Cuban said this, he immediately felt that it was really the case.

Immediately, his heart was also beating wildly. Could it be that their Mavericks are really going to get Li Xun?
After getting Li Xun, is the championship still far away?

"Open it, open it!"

"It's bad? Let's make it bad this year!"

"If this requirement is not met, we are not worthy of Li Xun."

"I just don't know what happened in the Pistons team. Could it be that their new boss has a conflict with Li Xun?"

The two began to speculate one after another.

This matter is too mysterious, and they have not received any news yet.

The two were so excited that they didn't fall asleep all night. At eight o'clock the next morning, a message was posted on the Pistons' official website.

Pistons general manager Joe Dumars resigned.

A simple piece of news directly caused the entire NBA league to explode.

Now that Cuban and Nowitzki are 100% sure, Li Xun is not [-]% going to join the Mavericks, but [-]%!

Cuban has a knack for disgusting people.

Although Li Xun has not yet joined the Mavericks, he already regards Li Xun as one of his own.

"quick!"

"Contact me Dumas!"

"Our Mavericks hired him to come to us as president of basketball affairs."

"The salary will be given at 150% of the Pistons' salary!"

Dumars has never been a head coach, so Cuban didn't let him come to the Mavericks as a coach, and directly made him the president of basketball affairs.

The current general manager of the Mavericks is Nelson Jr., the son of the old Nelson. This is the veteran of the Mavericks, and Dumars must not be moved.
