NBA: Back to 97, to be the Jagged Bishop

Chapter 76

"Hi, Mr. Pitino, I'm Combe."

After returning to his office, Combe directly called Rick Pitino, the coach and general manager of the Green Kais.

"hole?"

"Is there something wrong?"

Pitino's tone was very flat, presumably the old Thomas said something unpleasant before.

"I heard that you are going to put Chauncey on the shelves. Let me inquire about the situation."

"What's your favorite price?"

Kong Bu suppressed the excitement in his heart, trying to make himself appear calmer.

Billups is very important. He can improve the Raptors' outside three-point ability to a level. In addition, his organizational ability is at least one level better than Snow's, and the defensive end is not necessarily worse than Snow's.

"Haven't you already rejected us?"

"We want to take Chauncey and a first-round pick next year and trade your Marcus Camby and Snow."

"The answer Mr Thomas gave at the time was to let us go to a mental hospital to see a doctor."

Pitino's tone was tinged with anger.

Kumbu laughed. This is really not enough for old Thomas to say. If he could speak, he would not offend a large group of people.

It may be that old Thomas didn't think much of Pitino, so he was not polite at all.

And Pitino also has his own arrogance. He has very little qualifications in the NBA. He coached the Knicks for two seasons in 87, and his record was rubbish. Then he started coaching the Green Kai this year. The situation is not optimistic.

But his status in the NCAA is quite high. He is the first coach in history to lead three different universities to the semi-finals of the national championship at the same time, and he is also the first coach to lead two different universities to win the championship.

Old Thomas didn't think much of him, and he didn't think much of a vulgar fellow like Old Thomas.

Kong Bu heard the offer from Lvkai, and felt that the other party was not insincere, the transaction should always be negotiated, and it was impossible to quote the highest price as soon as it came up.

"Mr. Pitino, you know this offer is not realistic."

"Actually, Snow is worth more than Chauncey. Can't Camby be worth only a first-round pick with an uncertain pick?"

"If you're really interested, we can have a good chat."

Pitino was overjoyed. Hearing what Comb meant, it seemed like there was something to be said for this deal?

The main reason why he wants Snow and Camby is that Lukay's current two forwards and defenders are neither defensive.

One is Anthony Walker, the fat head Tuo in 96. This season, he can even average 22 points and 10 rebounds per game as a super power forward. Unfortunately, his defense is too hot.

The other is this year's No. 16 pick Ron Mercer, who is currently averaging [-] points per game, and he has no interest in defense.

This has led to Lukai's overall defensive efficiency being ridiculously low, ranking first in the league, worse than the Clippers and Nuggets.

If Camby and Snow can be obtained, the situation will be completely different, and Lukai will undergo a radical change.

This season is Pitino's first season back in the NBA, and he certainly hopes to lead the team to something.

"Kong, Chauncey's talent is terrifying, otherwise I don't think you would want him."

"It's just that he is now full of scandals. I don't want my team to have such a player who can't control his lower body."

Pitino said quite righteously.

Combe laughed out loud. Others can comment that Billups can't control his lower body, but Pitino is not qualified.

When he was coaching at the NCAA ten years later, he and his colleague's daughter-in-law were doing piston exercises under the table in the restaurant in broad daylight, and then they were also jumped by immortals and sued by QJ. They almost lost the position of coach.

Billups can still use being tricked by his teammates as an excuse. He just can't control his lower body completely in this matter.

This product is simply not the best in the basketball world.

"Well, anyway, there are still two months before the trading market closes."

"You can listen to other teams' offers."

"We'll talk about it later."

Comb thinks highly of Billups, but he doesn't want to be taken advantage of.

Under normal circumstances, Green Kai took the flounder and made a three-way deal with the Blazers and the Raptors, and the three replaced the masters of their respective teams.

The Raptors sent Flying Squirrel to the Trail Blazers, Green Kai sent the Flounder to the Raptors, and the Blazers sent Kenny Anderson to the Green Kai.

Anderson's statistics are good. Last season, he scored 17 points and 7 assists, but his shooting percentage was poor. He often averaged less than [-]% per game in the season.

After playing 12 games this season, the data has shrunk even further, with only 5 points and [-] assists.

The statistics are not impressive, the offensive efficiency is not necessarily as high as Snow, and the defense is two grades worse than Snow.

Snow is currently averaging 12 points, 8.6 assists and 2.3 steals per game, which is not a vegetarian.

The key point is that Snow is three years younger than Anderson.

With the opportunity to trade Snow, Pitino would not want Anderson unless his brain got water.

Comb is now going to dry him out and make him realize the reality that Billups' value will decrease by one point with each passing day.

……

In the next game against the Golden State Warriors, Kumbu unexpectedly gave Big Zhi a rest.

After getting such terrifying first show data, many people thought that Big Zhi would even seize the starting position of Jermaine O'Neill and become the Raptors' starting No. [-].

As a result, not only did he not start, he didn't even have to play the game.

Combe has his own reasons for doing so.

Camby only played 6 minutes in the last game. Even if Camby didn't say anything, Combe felt sorry.

Big Zhi and Camby are both players under his command, with fleshy palms and backs. Kumbu can take care of Big Zhi more, but he can't completely ignore Camby's feelings.

So Kumbu also wants to let Camby play more in the past two days to make up for his playing time.

The Warriors are not weak inside, but it is a pity that they ran into the brutal Ben and Camby. The two teamed up to block 11 shots tonight, turning the Warriors' inside caps on their backs.

From time to time, Carlesimo scolded Dampier's roar from the sidelines.

The scolding was very harsh, and the content was extremely high, and some of them were words that had to be silenced on the TV.

Raptors looked at Dampier with sympathetic eyes. They are not perfect, because they are young and inexperienced, and they have made many low-level mistakes this season, but Combe has never been like Carlesimo. scolded them.

Kumbu sighed, maybe this is why Dampier was so eager for others' approval in the future, he was really broken under the hands of Carlesimo.

A week ago, a major event that shook the league happened in the Warriors.

The Warriors' madman Latrell Sprewell choked coach Carlesimo during training. According to Carlesimo, the madman was trying to murder him.

When the madman was interviewed in the future, he said with tears in his eyes that anyone who heard Carlesimo's insulting words would do the same thing as him.

The Madman was traded to the New York Knicks two days ago.

This is exactly the same as the "official history" in Comb's memory, and the Knicks took advantage of it for nothing.

This has just passed a week, and Carlesimo still hasn't learned his lesson. In front of nearly [-] fans, he didn't give Dampier any sympathy.

Fortunately, Dampier does not have mania like a madman, otherwise he will lock his throat, and Carlesimo will definitely see God directly.

最终猛龙以109:92继续保持连胜，拿到了本赛季第22个胜场，22胜8负。

Kumbu was in a great mood after the game.

Not just because they are one game away from the Bulls, but also because they will face Larry Brown in the next game.

Winning Larry Brown, topping the league record list, double happiness.

The outside world is still unclear about the grievances between Combe and Larry Brown. They only know that when Combe and Riley fought in the ring last time, Larry Brown stood up for Riley.

Riley on the last platform was Cali Perry, who was brutally abused by Kong Bu for 39 points.

Everyone knows that Kumbu will definitely not let it go in this game.
