NBA Ten Thousand Worlds Bishop

Chapter 11 General Manager Willis Reed
Early the next morning, Davidson went to Daly's house for breakfast as usual.

Papa Chuck asked Davidson to pack up these days, and they were going to return to New Jersey in three days.

Davidson nodded and readily agreed, making Papa Chuck laugh heartily.

He was worried that Davidson would resist going to New Jersey with him. After all, he didn't ask Davidson when he went to New Jersey last season.

As a result, Davidson said nothing at that time...

A year later, Papa Chuck didn't know why Davidson had changed his mind, but he was only happy that he would no longer have to worry about how the kid was doing in Detroit.

……

Three days later, Davidson carried simple luggage and followed the Dalys on a plane to New Jersey.

During these three days, Davidson also entered the club every day.

However, he never saw the sledgehammer again.

This guy is with his Italian supermodel girlfriend, so he probably doesn't need to sleep...

Without the company of the sledgehammer, Davidson could only hang out in the club. Without the evolution coins, Davidson could only look around.

Some details that Sledgehammer Anderson had overlooked before, Davidson also learned some by listening to the exchanges of other buyers.

For example, in addition to being able to evolve, natal players have other benefits.

The natal player has 100% loyalty to the buyer, and can accept a 10% salary cut to stay on the team. If the buyer leaves the team, if the natal player’s contract also expires, or has a player option, he will also leave the team under the buyer’s “suggestion”.

In three days, Davidson's understanding of the club has deepened a lot.

During these three days, Davidson also opened the player manual obtained at the previous trade fair.

Fifteen player profiles made Davidson a little speechless, only one of which was valuable to him.

The remaining [-] documents are all brief introductions of fringe players.

The reason why Davidson knew these players were fringe players was because their introductions were too simple.

For example, there is a profile named Michael McDonald.

“迈克尔-麦克唐纳德：95年55顺位被夏洛特黄蜂选中，97-98赛季为夏洛特黄蜂出战一场，拿到0分1篮板2失误1犯规。”

Then there is no more, this player named Michael has so little information.

Davidson can be sure that this player probably only played one game in the NBA, and then was completely eliminated.

Isn't this a fringe player?
What's more, there are several documents that are even more crude.

"Thomas Hill: Selected 1993th overall by the Indiana Pacers in 39."

And then it's gone...

This player probably has never played a game in the NBA, otherwise, the introduction would not be so deceiving.

Of the [-] files, [-] were all about such fringe players, which made Davidson sigh.

Proportionally, with these 90 profiles, I could still get two or three profiles of strong players, but now I only have one profile of [-]-year champion Derek Coleman.

"Derek Coleman: He was selected by the New Jersey Nets with the first pick in 90. His career was ruined by injuries, alcohol and laziness. He was transferred to the Philadelphia 95ers in 76. His weight soared and his competitive state declined rapidly."

Coleman's profile was similarly simple, but the information contained it was quite surprising to Davidson.

Now the Nets coached by Chuck Daly, the ace player in the team is Coleman.

As the No. 90 pick in the draft in [-], known as a player at the same level as Karl Malone and Barkley, Coleman is now absolutely brilliant. He was selected to the best third team this season that just ended.

Average 20+10 data per game, standard top power forward data.

Will the Nets sell Coleman's signature in two years?What happened in the past two years? !

During the chat with Papa Chuck, Davidson knew something about Coleman. He is still very popular with Papa Chuck, but he is a little lazy and often slackens in training, which makes Papa Chuck disliked.

Although Coleman's information is extremely simple, some of the information in it is still valuable to Davidson.

It is a pity that there is no information about Muresan in this player's handbook.

……

After arriving in New Jersey, Davidson lived directly in the suburban villa rented by the old couple.

The old couple did not buy real estate in New Jersey, and now they are renting a house.

Although the Nets are called the New Jersey Nets, their home court is not in downtown New Jersey, but in a small town called East Rutherford...

How small is this town?The resident population is probably only tens of thousands, and the home court of the New Jersey Nets may be the most shabby home court in the NBA.

This is why the Nets had to relocate to Brooklyn later.

……

On the second day of arriving in New Jersey, after Chuck Daly had breakfast with Davidson early in the morning, he drove to the arena.

Although it is an offseason for the Nets, Chuck Daly, the head coach, still has some affairs to deal with.

Two days later is the NBA's official joint trial training, and the Nets must send someone over to inspect the rookies.

Of course, it is definitely impossible for Chuck Daly to do this kind of work himself. Either the team assistant coach or the team scout will do it. He came to the arena today mainly because he wanted to bring Davidson to go through the entry procedures.

"Willis, old man." Papa Chuck walked to an office door, pushed open the door, and shouted with a characteristic loud voice with a smile.

Davidson knew this was the office of Willis Reed, the current general manager of the Nets.

Willis Reed is definitely a well-known name for fans of Davidson's era.

Playing for the New York Knicks in his career, the first player in NBA history to win the All-Star, regular season and Finals MVP in the same season, this alone is enough to see his terrifying strength.

As early as 1981, Reid was successfully selected into the Hall of Fame.

The greatest basketball player in the world's biggest city, Redd remains a hero at Madison Gardens today.

Then, like many players, he entered the coaching industry.

Reid has only worked as the head coach for four seasons in total, coaching the Knicks in the first two seasons, and coaching the Nets in the next two seasons...

The two seasons of coaching the Nets happened to be the heyday of the Pistons.

This is why Reid tried his best to recruit Chuck Daly after he took the position of general manager of the team.

……

After Papa Chuck entered the office, he said straight to the point why he came, that is, he wanted the team to hire Davidson as his personal special assistant.

Willis Reed was naturally surprised. The head coach asked the team to hire an assistant. This is not a rare thing, but it is extremely rare to hire a young boy who looks so young.

If it weren't for Davidson's Asian face, Reed would even wonder if Davidson was Chuck Daly's illegitimate son.
