NBA: Legendary coach signs with league for 10 years

"Michael, like I said before, I'm going to make some decisions that may seem strange to you."

"But believe me, I won't joke about my own career."

Wang Chen didn't plan to continue to explain this issue.

There was no way to explain it.

Anyway, he had confronted Jordan now, and this was his bottom line.

If you don't believe him, you can fire him now and let him join a ready-made strong team.

And you can get a lot of money for nothing.

But Wang Chen didn't want to do that.

With Nash leading a group of potential newcomers, what kind of effect can be achieved, Wang Chen is also very much looking forward to it.

Mullin couldn't get involved in this matter, so he could only watch Jordan.

"No discussion at all?"

Jordan said slowly.

"No, I must have these people."

Wang Chen directly expressed his thoughts.

Jordan suddenly laughed.

And he kept laughing, so Wang Chen didn't know what Jordan was laughing at.

"Wang, you are a bit like Phil. He also has to have players he wants to coach before he chooses to coach. Otherwise, he would rather retire to the mountains."

After Jordan finished laughing, he felt a little helpless.

In fact, Jordan had known that Phil Jackson was going to retire, and he had talked to Phil to see if he wanted to try to come to the Bobcats.

But Phil decisively refused.

"There are no players I want to coach, and I want to take a good rest for a while.

This was Phil's answer to Jordan at the time.

How similar are Wang Chen and Phil's answers now?

"Forget it, Wang, go ahead and do whatever you want. I just have one request."

"I can pay for you to pursue Nash, but don't force yourself to ask for a price like O'Neal or Garnett."

Jordan said this, which was a compromise.

O'Neal and Garnett both had contracts of more than 20 million per season. Jordan really couldn't afford to spend so much money.

"That's no problem."

Wang Chen smiled and agreed after hearing what Jordan said.

In fact, the price the Suns offered to Nash was not high, 66 million for 6 years.

Only 11 million a year, Wang Chen estimated that even if the Suns wanted to raise the price, it would not exceed 16 million. If the Suns' salary space exceeded that price to sign Nash, there would be basically no room for recruiting players. In addition, Nash's achievements at the age of 30 are not worth 20 million at all.

Jordan said this because he was afraid that if Wang Chen got too excited, he would treat his money as if it were not money.

"Mullin is the new general manager. If you need anything done, just tell Mullin."

Jordan said this and walked out of the office.

He really couldn't stay any longer, fearing that he would regret it if he stayed for a second longer.

Wang Chen understood what Jordan meant.

Mullin was Jordan's assistant, and he was also an electronic eye that Jordan installed for him, fearing that he would do something outrageous.

However, Wang Chen still held the power in his hands, without any doubt.

After Jordan walked out of the door, he couldn't help but sigh.

"I don’t know if this is the right thing to do." (To read exciting novels, go to Faloo Novel Network!)

Jordan knew that once Wang Chen took the first step, there would be basically no room for regrets, and he would be dragged into the pirate ship by Wang Chen.

But think about it.

When he agreed to Wang Chen at the beginning, wasn’t he already on the pirate ship?

"I hope Wang Chen doesn't lose too much money.......Don't make me a joke in the league."

Jordan shook his head and left.

In the following days.

Jordan didn't ask any more questions. Mullin was indeed quite capable. After all, Mullin really became the general manager of the Bobcats.

It's just that he couldn't compare with Wang Chen, who knew the future, in terms of the general direction.

Now the direction of the Bobcats' management is relatively clear. Wang Chen is mainly responsible for the general direction, and all trivial matters are left to Mullin to discuss.

Wang Chen was quite satisfied with the first deal that Mullin negotiated for him.

Mullin contacted several teams and conducted a multi-party transaction in accordance with Wang Chen's requirements.

In the end, Mullin used: the second pick in the first round + the unprotected first-round pick in the first round of next season + the 16th pick in the first round, and traded for the 8th pick in the first round, the 13th pick in the first round, the 25th pick in the first round, and the 9th pick in the second round.

He ate a garbage contract of Jerome Williams, which is 6.19 million next season. He averaged 5.3 points per game in the season that just ended.

"I didn’t get the first pick in the second round, but it’s okay. I can accept this rubbish contract.

Wang Chen was quite satisfied with the final result of Mullin.

However, the media was not impressed by the deal and even laughed at it.

《The God of Basketball + Emperor Left Hand + Trace Right Hand lost the second pick in vain》

《The league vigorously supports new teams, but three of them are unable to support them》

《The Bobcats may be entering a dark moment. Even if they play badly next season, there is no hope for an unprotected first-round pick.》

《The Raptors may become a strong team in the East, with Katie + Sh + Cafu or Howard, and the Bobcats will help build a strong team in the same division.》

《The new champion coach may become the culprit of the Bobcats, Jordan trusted the wrong person. 》

No media outlet is optimistic about the Bobcats' recent trade.
