My teammate in the NBA is Nash

Chapter 65 Fans know a hammer! (seeking tickets)
Regarding the reason why Jordan rejected the blank check from the New York Knicks, there are N different opinions among the American media.

Some media said:
The Knicks are just a tool for Jordan to put pressure on the Bulls' management.

Michael Jordan wasn't going to play under a new owner.

Especially since the rookie owner just traded away Patrick Ewing.

Jordan cannot accept this crazy operation of James Dolan.

Some media also believe that:
Jordan has only one goal right now, and that is the ultimate championship.

If the Knicks still keep Ewing, maybe Jordan will consider writing his name and the salary he likes on the blank check.

However, the Knicks not only did not keep Ewing, but also traded for a rookie.

MJ at this juncture is not interested in growing up with a rookie player.

Don't tell Jordan that this newcomer is called Su Han.

In Qiao Shen's career, he has seen too many super rookies.

If you are not interested, you are not interested.

Regardless of the reasons for Jordan's ultimate rejection of the Knicks.

In short, Dolan and his team became a stepping stone for Jordan and the Bulls to sign the largest annual salary extension in NBA history.

A one-year contract of $[-] million allowed Jordan to return to Chicago.

And his salary also created the highest salary in the history of the NBA at that time.

Even after ten years, the annual salary of [-] million dollars is still the highest salary in the history of the league.

Jordan's highest salary in history will not be surpassed until the NBA's salary cap is completely opened.

But don't forget.

This was in [-].

[-] million now and [-] million [-] years later are totally different concepts.

So, what I have to say is:

The NBA may no longer be the current NBA in the future.

But your uncle will always be your uncle.

After Jordan finally finalized his next home.

The management of the New York Knicks began to launch the Steve Nash plan.

After gaining experience in trading Ewing, the general manager of the team, Glenn Field, has gradually become proficient.

Brother even dared to send the King of New York away, so what if some of the core players of the former team were exchanged for rookies?

Grunfeld, who has completely released himself, used the team's core rotation player John Starks + the team's first-round pick in [-] to trade Timberwolves' rookie Steve Nash into the team in [-].

Although John Starks can only play the sixth man in the Knicks, his ability is absolutely nothing to say.

More importantly, the Timberwolves took a fancy to the Knicks' [-] first-round pick.

After sending away the absolute core of the team in a row: Patrick Ewing, the four major centers, the king of New York, and sending away the team's main rotation.

The Knicks' record in the new season is likely to suffer a decline.

Just a slippery season?
nonexistent.

The Timberwolves management feels that the Knicks will slip for at least three seasons.

Su Han + Nash's core team needs at least three seasons to grow.

Of course.

The future of the Knicks is temporarily unknown.

From the perspective of the Timberwolves management:
Anyway, the Knicks' first-round pick in [-] must be very valuable.

When his favorite point guard has no choice.

Wouldn't it be too bad to exchange Nash for another bottle in [-]~

even.

The Timberwolves management began to have a spring and autumn dream.

Ning said, if the Knicks, the [-] pick, win the No. [-] pick.

Then let the point guards die! !

Tim Duncan + Kevin Garnett, find out! ! !
at the same time.

This transaction made it even more difficult for many media to understand.

In order to get together the inside and outside combination of the Santa Ke Broncos.

Has the Knicks completely dismantled the team's core lineup for many seasons?

And it doesn't stop there.

Grunfeld's moves in the trading market are not small.

He used part of the team's chips to complete the deal with the Charlotte Hornets.

Larry Johnson, nicknamed "Auntie", was traded to the New York Knicks.

Don't look at the fact that Larry Johnson averaged [-]+[-] per game at the All-Star level last season.

But the Knicks continued to dismantle the team's multi-year roster, causing the anger of New York fans to surge.

News bombarding James Dolan is not uncommon in local newspapers and magazines in New York.

Outside Madison Square Garden, many New York fans even pulled up banners.

They are resisting this crazy behavior of James Dolan.

"Boss, the fans think you made the Knicks suck."

In the Madison Gardens high-level office, team general manager Ernie Grunfeld pinned the blame on team owner Dolan:
"They want you to sell the Knicks."

While the deals are all self-made, Grunfeld said:
Don't stick to the pan yourself!
It's all Dolan's meaning!
"What do the fans know?"

James Dolan didn't pay much attention to this group of fans in New York:

"Will their support allow the Knicks to win the championship?"

For Dolan, the fans in New York are the funniest group.

Resist this and that every day, look down on this, and look down on that.

The results of it?
The last Knicks owner who listened to what New York fans wanted has already left the game at a discount of [-] million~

in other words.

Working in New York, you have to work against these NT fans in New York.

That would be the correct answer instead.

"But..."

"Nothing to be desired!"

James Dolan took a sip of his cigar:

"Ernie, you did a good job with this matter in Sue, and I am very satisfied with Steve's deal."

Ok. ． ．
Although Ewing + Starks + the team's first-round pick were sent away, Dolan didn't care about the chips at all.

He only looks at the results.

Winning Su Han + Nash can satisfy my desire to watch the shouting combination play in Madison in the new season, that's enough!

As for the others?
Who cares?

Dolan didn't care anyway.

but.

Ernie Grunfeld still tried his best to help the team owner restore a little bit of word of mouth.

In the free agent market, he grabbed the CIC king Alan Houston.

Such a high-quality signing made the furious New York fans feel a little better.

However, it is not enough to just sign high-quality Alan Houston.

"The New York Knicks need to prove themselves in the new season, and it won't be easy."

On ESPN's Nightly Basketball Show, some pundits made their case:

"They took the whole team apart and put together a whole new roster."

Check out the Knicks' projected starting lineup for the new season.

Nash + Alan Houston + Larry Johnson + Charles Oakley and Su Han.

In the entire lineup, only Oakley was the Knicks starter last season.

The remaining [-] are all team rookies reported by the new team!

The chemistry of this team must have exploded.

It takes a lot of time just to get in between the players!
It is also not just these media who realize that if the team continues to operate like this, big problems will erupt in the new season.

July [-], US time.

The "New York Times" published a world-renowned Knicks team news:
Team coach Jeff Van Gundy and general manager Ernie Grunfeld had a heated argument about the team's various behaviors in the summer trade.

Team owner James Dolan may fire the team's coach for many years before the arrival of August!

"I need the team to give me a reasonable explanation. Their behavior in the summer made me very dissatisfied."

In an interview with the media, Van Gundy Jr. spoke fiercely:
"If they can't convince me, maybe I will choose to resign!"

Without waiting for Dolan to fire him, Xiao Fan is going to resign and leave by himself!

He really can't stand the crazy new owner of the team.

"A reasonable explanation?"

James Dolan, who was also interviewed by the media, looked disdainful after hearing the report from the reporter:
"My explanation is no explanation."

I, James Dolan, have acted all my life, and I still need to explain it to you, the head coach of an NBA team?

Do what you love, get out if you don't!
Dolan had long disliked Van Gundy Jr.

He felt that Xiao Fan's tactics were not suitable for the free and unrestrained combination of Su Han and Nash.

Even though Dolan doesn't understand football, he has a little understanding of Xiaofan's various coaching shortcomings.

In terms of candidates for the team's new coach, James Dolan always feels:
Don Nelson, who once coached the Knicks briefly, is a good candidate!
