Chapter 297 NBDL! !
Back in Oakland, Bruce and Mullin rushed to the office non-stop.
In order to better deepen the depth of the Warriors' lineup, they have to use all the time to further evaluate and inquire!
"There are a large number of center players in this year's draft. Even if they are immature, who can say that there is no Shaquille among them?" Mullin said with great emotion.
Bruce brought coffee to everyone, passed them in turn, and said, "Gentlemen, even if there's a next Shaquille among them, it doesn't belong to us!"
"Hahaha!" Wilkens took the coffee, placed it on the table, and looked at Mu Lin with a big laugh!
"Except for these center players, I'm afraid the players on the back line don't have any young people with great talent and potential!" Regardless of Wilkens' laughter, Mullin blew on the hot coffee in his hand and still analyzed.
"Don't you have no hope for Gilbert and Girard at all?" Bruce said with a look of surprise.
"Okay, okay!" Mullin shrugged helplessly, "Bruce, you know the value of these two rookies, so I'm sorry I won't comment!"
He didn't dare to question Bruce's vision. With the precedent of trading for Carter, Nowitzki and others, he could only patiently wait for these guys to grow or degenerate!
"Gentlemen, the joke is over, shall we study the team's affairs?" Bruce looked at the two with a smile, then took out a document, and slowly pushed it over!
After thinking about it on the plane, Bruce still wants to proceed according to the previous transaction plan!
Not only want to trade Dampier, but also put Marshall's potential deal in it!
As the old man of the Warriors, Marshall gained a lot of playing time by virtue of his high shooting percentage and good rebounding ability.
If it weren't for Nowitzki's joining, he would definitely become the team's starter!
Now, although his contract seems to be very cost-effective, his ability is slightly inferior to before because of changing positions back and forth!
"Uh... Tangyell??" Seeing the name on the information, Mullin looked up at Bruce in astonishment first.
"That's right, if Donyell can accept the role of the first substitute, then we will be more than happy to keep him, but once he is confused and irritated by his role, then there is only one way to trade." Bruce looked at Mullin seriously , said very solemnly.
"Tangyell's contract is about to expire next year. If it is traded, it will be an extremely cost-effective bargaining chip. However, my opinion is that it is not the best time to trade him, and his destination is in the mid-term! "Wilkens pushed his glasses and analyzed slowly.
If the Bruce still uses the same method as when he traded Starks and Danny Fortson before, Marshall and Dampier will definitely get more and show their trade value to other team managers.
Coupled with the lack of centers in the league today, Dampier will definitely return a very good return.
Of course, Marshall can also use his super cost performance to attract managers of other teams who pay enough attention to him.
"If we lose Eric and Tangyell at the same time, it will bring some trouble to our bench. If we can get enough chips, it will be another matter!" Wilkens watched Looking at Bruce, he took off his glasses and wiped them, and said seriously.
Hearing Wilkens' analysis, Bruce immediately fell into deep thought!
Just as Bruce said, last season it was the performance of the bench that was able to win the final victory in some difficult games!
Once Marshall and Dampier are traded away, let alone the center position, at least there will be certain loopholes in the power forward position.
After a while, an inexplicable light flashed in Bruce's eyes, and he said, "Then just wait!"
With the end of an anticipated draft, all teams are betting on the free agent market and potential trades!
At the New York headquarters, Stern hummed an inexplicable tune in a very good mood, and looked at all the procedures that were about to be completed in his hands, with a happy smile on his face!
"Why not do this??" Stern stroked the document in his hand that could send a large number of talents to the NBA, feeling unspeakably proud in his heart!
Oakland, inside the Warriors practice facility.
Bruce sat in the office, quickly flipping through the list of some players that appeared in the free agent market.
Looking at the names that I have some impressions, or have basically never heard of, coupled with their poor data, I can't help but shake my head!
"Jingling!~"
Hearing the ringing of the phone, Bruce breathed a sigh of relief as if he had escaped from something: "Hi, I'm Bruce Young!"
Hearing the other party's voice, Stern couldn't help asking with a smile: "Little guy, how is this year's draft?"
Hearing Stern's voice, Bruce couldn't help being taken aback, and subconsciously said: "Very good, hello, David!"
"Aha, I hope you guys can be more exciting next season!"
Bruce listened with some doubts, and then said with a formulaic smile: "Thank you for your concern, I don't know you."
Hearing what Bruce said, Stern first looked at the document in his hand, and then said rather proudly: "Do you want to have another basketball team?"
"What???" Bruce almost jumped up in shock, he was very aware of the various rules of the league.
If the owner of a team wants to own a stake in another team, it will be a very difficult thing to do!
Even if the shares of some teams are taken over by relatives or pseudonyms, once the league finds out, or finds out after passing the fund review, then the owner and the owner of a certain team that sold the shares will be subject to all league owners and The unanimous impeachment of the top NBA!
But now, hearing Stern say this suddenly, Bruce felt that the other party was crazy!
"Hahaha, aren't you surprised?" Stern flashed a smug smile, as if seeing Bruce's surprise, he said with a big laugh.
As the league is retiring some super giants or dying, Stern is trying his best to save the fans, but he is still thinking of ways elsewhere!
After several years of investigation and consideration of the market and the team, Stern finally, in the upcoming offseason of this season, is about to establish a sub-league belonging to the NBA astonishingly!
After the end of last season, through the review of the American Basketball Association and Stern's super public relations ability, this plan was officially approved by the American Basketball Association!
After listening to Stern's story, Bruce finally showed a dazed expression, and then said excitedly: "As far as I know, isn't your plan to only establish a team in the southeast?"
"Little guy, is it very difficult to set up a western team?" Stern couldn't help saying meaningfully when he heard Bruce's words.
"God, am I so popular in his eyes?" Bruce almost exclaimed in surprise, even if he thought about it, he was shocked by Stern's similar "indulging" behavior!
"Do you need to set up a subordinate team that belongs to you?" Stern paused every word, and asked expectantly.
"I...I... Oh, damn, I'm so excited!!" Bruce stammered, stunned for a moment, and finally said excitedly: "Setting up a reserve talent reserve team, this is simply My dream thing, thank you for your love, thank you so much!"
Listening to Bruce's incoherent words, a soft expression beyond formula finally flashed across Stern's face!
"This league is temporarily called the American Basketball Association Development League!!" Even though the American Basketball Association has passed the review, Stern still couldn't hide his excitement and said loudly.
"NBDL!! This is the predecessor of NBDL!!!" Bruce roared loudly in his heart, thinking of the league that cultivated a large number of outstanding players in his previous life, he was about to jump up excitedly!
In the previous life, only people knew about NBDL, but very few people knew when the league was actually established.
If Bruce hadn't been the assistant manager of a certain provincial team, he would have no idea that this league is the same or more flexible than the ABA, CBA and other leagues!
According to the previous life, NBDL will only build and form teams in cities in the southeastern United States.
Now, suddenly designated by Stern, the Warriors can get a real subordinate team, which will be a very shocking thing!
According to NBDL's original vision, this league is only shared by all NBA teams and assigned by the league!
If you want to officially obtain the subordinate team of the team, you have to wait until 05 when the NBDL officially expanded its army!
After finishing talking with Stern, Bruce stood up excitedly and kept walking back and forth in the office!
"This is so fucking exciting!!" Bruce not only had an extremely excited expression on his face, he even burst out a few swear words from time to time to express his excitement!
"Where do I want to set up the team?" After a while, Bruce finally calmed down. Thinking of setting up the team, he couldn't help thinking for a while!
"Bang bang bang!!"
Mullin stood outside the office, knocked on the door but did not see Bruce open the door, hesitated for a moment, then pushed open the door!
"Uh." Mullin pushed the door open, and he couldn't help being surprised when he saw Bruce with a pensive expression and even a little bit of confusion!
"Hey, Bruce, hey!!" Seeing that Bruce didn't pay attention, Mullin walked forward, subconsciously dangling his right hand twice in front of his eyes.
"Oh...uh..." Bruce was awakened by the hand and the call that suddenly appeared in front of him, and when he saw the person coming, he said with a wry smile, "Sorry, Chris, I was just obsessed with thinking about the problem just now!"
"It's nothing!" Mullin said indifferently, rarely seeing Bruce like this, and then asked curiously: "Did you think of anything?"
"The league is going to set up a subsidiary league under the NBA, and Stern calls it the "National Basketball Association Development League"!"
Following Bruce's narration bit by bit, Mullin, like him, stood up exclaiming: "God, is this true?"
Bruce looked at Mullin amusedly, thinking that he didn't look much better before, smiled, and nodded solemnly!
