Chapter 408 The acquisition of the Nets was successful(2/2)
"If you continue to coach, then I will send some players over randomly. Even if we don't win the championship, we can still say that we didn't try our best."
"If you don't go, then we have to try our best. I don't even remember the last time we won the World Series."
Stu said with a wry smile.
He is the vice president of the league, and he also holds the job of the old American Basketball Association. Now the old American Basketball Association has almost become the back garden of the NBA.
"It's up to you. I probably won't go this year. I have too much work on my hands."
"It's true that you haven't won a championship for a long time. Maybe this is the lucky year for your dream team."
Kongbu laughed.
"How about the Dream Team? The Nightmare Team is pretty much the same. Now I feel ashamed when I hear the nickname Dream Team."
"Hopefully, I hope this is a good year for us."
"In two years, the 2008 Olympics will be held. That is your home court. I think you will not miss it, and the Tianchao Men's Basketball Team will definitely try its best. Now this World Championships may be our best chance to win the championship."
After being reminded by Stu, Kongbu remembered that 2008, two years later, would indeed be an extremely important moment.
This time I take a vacation and rest, just waiting to play in the 2008 Capital Olympics.
…
After leaving New York, Combe did not return to Charlotte, but came directly to New Jersey.
He first called current coach Lawrence Frank.
Now that he is here, he will definitely coach the team, and Frank will be unemployed.
But Kongbu had already thought of arranging a job for Frank, and he was going to introduce Frank to the Bobcats.
"What? Kong, are you going to introduce me to the Bobcats? Will Michael agree to sign me?"
Although Frank looked horrified, you could still see the surprise in his eyes.
Coaching the Bobcat Dynasty, with a lineup like that, it would be too easy to win. Which coach wouldn't want to coach outstanding players.
"Don't worry, he will agree. You are a very capable coach. I really can't think of a reason for him to refuse."
Frank was able to become the head coach of the league as a salesman at a concession stand. If he was told that he was incompetent, Kongbu was the first to not believe it.
Hearing Kongbu praise his ability, Frank couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth. He regretted not bringing a recorder to record Kongbu's words.
After arranging Frank, Combs found Rod Thorn, the current general manager of the Nets.
This Rod Thorn is actually from the alliance. He was also the vice president of the alliance before...
It's a bit similar to Stu Jackson back then. After Stern bought the Nets, he sent Rod Thorn over.
The difference is that Stu Jackson is not a player, and Combe even doubted whether this guy can play basketball, while Thorne is a serious player and has been selected to the All-Rookie Team.
But this was all a matter of old sesame and rotten millet in the 1960s.
According to Stern's plan, after Combs took over the Nets, he took Rod Thorn back to the league headquarters.
Of course Kongbu agreed with both hands, and he didn't want to spend so much money to support Stern.
The meeting with Rod Thorn this time was just for a chat, and Kongbu had no intention of retaining him.
By the time I finished talking to Rod Thorn, it was already four o'clock in the afternoon.
Just as Combs was about to call it a day and return to Charlotte to pack his belongings and officially move to New Jersey tomorrow, his cell phone rang.
The caller was Lao Deng.
"Kong, I'm unemployed!"
Lao Deng's frustrated voice came from the phone.
"Unemployed? Are you kidding me? The Knicks fired you?"
Combs was very surprised. He said that although the Knicks have not won the championship in so many years, they have always been a strong team. At least the Knicks fans are very satisfied. Lao Deng has contributed a lot. How can you say that you are unemployed when you are unemployed?
"No, I fired James Dolan!"
"When it was time to renew my contract, that evil capitalist was only willing to give me a three-year contract worth $10 million!"
"This is humiliating!"
