Jim Bass Ambition

Chapter 264 List of New Coaches
"Does my opinion matter in such a big event? The great and wise Mr. Jim Bass never needed advice! I know you've planned everything! I can't even remember how many times this has happened. What kind of thing?" Kupchak was sullen, as the general manager of the team, he has been reduced to a machine that executes orders, and any action of the team does not require him to have any subjective initiative. In Kupchak's heart, he has nothing to do There is a lot of ability but no room to display it, and he is still staying in the team. It is entirely due to the favor of Dr. Jerry Buss and Jerry West, and his feelings for the Lakers for so many years.

Jim shook his head and sighed, "It's not my brother, I don't believe you, it's because you are so weak.

In the original timeline, Mr. Ku's first big show of his talents was to trade O'Neal for Lamar Odom, Caron Butler, Brian Grant and the Heat's first-round pick.

Then, Butler became Kwame Brown, and Grant took a salary of $2700 million from the Lakers, played only 69 games, averaged 16.5 points and 3.8 rebounds in 3.7 minutes of playing time, and sent 2.5 fouls.

The Heat's first-round pick became championship guard Jordan Farmar.

If Jerry West hadn't shown mercy and helped the Lakers turn Kwame Brown into Pau Gasol, perhaps Kobe would have gone to Chicago long ago to inherit that man's mantle.

In those few years, the Lakers' draft picks were all wasted, the low-post Taobao did nothing, the selected Tony Douglas and Patrick Beverley were all sent away, and they missed Danny Green, Etwain Moore and other good role players. , the selected Darius Morris, Goodlock, Ebanks, Karakort, Thackeray and others are all bad artifacts.

All the first-round picks and capital studs Dwight Howard and the 40-year-old Nash, and as a result, D'Antoni, the deadly main coach, was assigned to the aging lineup.

Later, he signed Mo Guanfeng and Deng Yingqiao with a big wave of his hand, blocking the space with a self-destructive style.

Until Kupchak was kicked out, he didn't see any brilliant operations. Of course, the original Jim Bass who killed a thousand knives was even more sinful.

"Okay, then I will draw up a draft first and report it to the league. Our protection list is Kobe, Kevin, Chauncey, Ron, Carl... no, there is no Carl, Dwyane, David, Sean And Nene, what do you think?" Jim quickly circled eight people, and he would definitely not implement Ostertag's $800 million team option. It would be best if he could keep the basic salary. Let him go for a big contract.Eldon Campbell will choose to retire. For the rest, Haslem and Korver didn’t have much chance to play last season. Deng Tai Jones has basically been fighting monsters and leveling in the Development League for a season. I believe the Bobcats I won't take a fancy to them either, the only thing I'm worried about is Raja Bell.

"Do we have any other options?" Kupchak muffled.

"Then it's a happy decision." Jim called the league officials and reported the protection list.

The general manager and head coach of the Charlotte Bobcats is the famous Bernie Bickerstaff.

In another timeline, Bernie Bickerstaff is the head coach with the highest winning percentage in the history of the Lakers. After Mike Brown packed up and left, he took over the Lakers and achieved a record of 4 wins and 1 loss.

And his son, John Blair Bickerstaff, is well known to fans in the Houston Rockets.

Bickerstaff personally handled the Bobcats' expansion draft and selected players from other teams. Unfortunately, because of Gerald Wallace's outstanding performance, Jazz coach Jerry Sloan included him in the protection list. roster, while the Bobcats lost their first Elvis.

With Brezek, Pachulia, Kapono, Pavlovich, Baxter and other resounding names being picked away, the Bobcats' new lineup is gradually taking shape.

Unsurprisingly, from the Lakers, the Bobcats picked out the 3D titan Raja Bell, because they got a similar type of Shane Battier in the middle of the season, and the Lakers didn't do much bargaining.

The expansion draft is just a small episode. No one thinks that the Charlotte Bobcats can cause much trouble with this group of motley crew. According to the experience of the last rookie Grizzlies, at least five years, the Charlotte Bobcats will be Strong contender for the No. [-] pick.

The soap opera of the Lakers is even more eye-catching. The meritorious coach Phil Jackson left. In the eyes of the outside world, Jim's first task is to find a head coach who can lead the team to continue to hit the championship. After all, the lineup has not changed much. , basically retaining the core of winning the championship last season.

"Jim Buss made a stupid mistake. He underestimated the influence of the head coach. This kind of arrogant performance will let them be punished." A Western Conference coach who did not want to be named published view.

In the Lakers war room, Kupchak made a list of the head coaches who are currently unemployed. If he is dissatisfied, he is dissatisfied. Jim appreciates his meticulous work attitude.

Byron Scott, the former coach of the Nets and a famous Lakers star, can lead the team to the finals, and can play badly for the No. [-] pick.

Pat Riley, the general manager of the Heat and the founder of the Lakers Showtime, has been disconnected from the Lakers for many years.

Rudy Tomjanovich, the Rockets' former championship coach, has a broken face and a champion's heart.

Eric Musselman, the son of veteran coach Bill Musselman, is known for his defense and is not happy with the Warriors.

George Karl, the new contract with the Nuggets has not been negotiated, and the Lakers can take action at any time.

Mike Krzyzewski, the head coach of Duke University, the legendary old K, every year, the team invites him out of the mountain with US dollars, but he always refuses. No one knows how good he is.

"Byron is a good man, but we don't need to compete for the No. [-] pick, let alone a coach who can't lead the team to the Western Conference Finals to lead the team." Jim threw Byron Scott's resume aside.

"Muselman? I haven't heard of it...George Karl, I have heard that every time he goes to a team, he will have trouble with the team's number one star, so let's let him harm the Denver Nuggets, I'm looking forward to the chemistry between him and Carmelo Anthony...Pat Riley, Are you kidding me? Do you think he will leave a good general manager and come to the Lakers to continue to help us? He and Phil Jackson is all the way! As for this Tom Janovich..."

"It's Rudy Tomjanovich!" Kupchak corrected sternly.

"Well, Tom's body is no longer strong enough to support him to continue coaching. For his health, let's not consider him as the head coach. As for this g...Krisjewski? I won't read this The name...he's definitely not going to leave his Duke and Legendary name behind and come to the NBA and try to make a name for himself."

University and NBA are two different concepts. A college coach like Billy Donovan is not all smooth sailing in the NBA.

In short, Jim rejected all of Kupchak's list.
