Jim Bass Ambition

Chapter 157

Chris Anderson hasn't been in a good mood lately.

As soon as he was released from the police station, he got the news that the Lakers will not renew his contract, which means that he will become a completely free agent after the free market door opens.

For an undrafted player, no one cares after the first contract expires, which basically declares the end of his NBA career.

Chris Anderson felt that he should save it, so he came to Jim's office.

"Boss, I want to play basketball."

Anderson is still grateful for the team that has given him some guidance and made him have a skill in the league. Whenever he goes on the court to complete a passionate block or a slam dunk, the vice president who often sits on the sidelines And never begrudge your cheers.

"Chris, I once hoped that you would grow into an indispensable member of the team. Your passion, vitality and fighting spirit are all needed by the team, but there are only certain hobbies that I don't want to appear in the team. ’ said Jim solemnly.

"But I can't play without the ball, I need this job..." In desperation, Anderson was a little incoherent.

"Chris, if you really want to play, I can give you a suggestion." Jim raised his head and stared at Anderson.

"The Development League?" Anderson was very frustrated. The salary of the Development League was not worth mentioning. Even if the NBA players had a basic salary, it was not comparable to the salary of the Development League.

"No, you will only waste your talent if you go to the Development League. Do you know the big man in the Houston Rockets?"

"Yao? He's not bad, what's wrong?"

"I suggest you go to his home country. The league there will be very suitable for you to show your talents. I believe that after the end of a contract period, there will be many NBA teams who want you to join." Jim has another deep-seated reason that he did not say. Well, the management and control over there is stricter than in the United States. I hope Anderson can correct his evil ways.

After sending away the skeptical Anderson, Jim took a deep breath.

If someone who is familiar with him is present, he will know that another unlucky ghost is being targeted.

"Bonnie!"

Laughlin heard the sound and knocked down a photo frame placed on the corner of the table by the way.

Jim hurriedly picked up the photo frame. The photo was the moment when he held up the O'Brien trophy at the awards ceremony a few days ago.

"Goddess, can you be a little more careful... About the little gift for Joe Dumars, ready?" Jim asked as he rearranged the frame.

Laughlin magically pulls out a videotape and hands it to Jim.Said: "Although the photographer's technology is not very good, at least he can recognize who is in the video. In fact, there is no need to edit it at all. Just take any video of that child and it will have this effect."

"Clipping it can give Joe Dumas a more intuitive impression. We are helping him and preventing him from going further and further down the path of the stupidest general manager in history." Jim took the video tape and thought for a while. Decided to appreciate it first.

Half an hour later, with a contented smile, Jim turned off the VCR.

"So, from here to Detroit, how many days does the courier take? We have to pinch the time. Or, just to be on the safe side, who wants to go to Detroit?"

Laughlin and the others immediately turned and left, just as Stevens opened the door and came in.

"gentlemen……"

"Very well, Brad, here is an honorable and arduous task for you..." Jim said involuntarily, holding Stevens was an arrangement.

An hour later, a ticket to Detroit was delivered to Stevens.

The league powers are not idle either, first of all the runner-up Indiana Pacers, team soul Reggie Miller announced that they will fight for the championship for another year.

But not everyone has the ambition of Miller. Anthony Mason believes that he is no longer suitable for confrontation with the beast forwards in the league when he is nearly [-] years old, so he chooses to retire. He has been in the All-Star and won the championship. Mason No more regrets.

And Terry Brandon was a little sad. He was able to play in order to play in the finals tiebreaker, and even chose to play closed. After the game, he was immediately sent to the UCLA Medical Center. After examination, his ankle injury was extremely serious. , needs surgery, and judging by his age, the recovery period is about 8-10 months, and it is basically announced that he will be reimbursed for next season.

The Dallas Mavericks, the runner-up in the West, moved even more swiftly. After Mark Cuban was ravaged by the Lakers in his small forward position, he finally killed him. The State Warriors exchanged for the Warriors' swingman at the third and fourth positions, Nowitzki's peers, the low-key and gorgeous scorer Antawn Jamison, and the rebounding madman Danny Fortson.

A Jamison can't satisfy Mark Cuban's ambitions. What he needs is a striker who can hold the ball, attack, and organize. So the inside cannon fodder Lavrentz became the next victim.

"Lavrentz is second only to Dirk, but we had to make sacrifices, and when you have the opportunity to get an All-Star player, it's worth the sacrifice." Mark Cuban made the deal Explaining himself, the Mavericks traded Lavrentz and top-up Yerry Walshko from the Warriors for Celtics All-Star forward Antoine Walker and 53-point general Tony Dell. gram.

Now the Mavericks, who have formed a 5-star contingent, are full of ambition and announced that they will not renew their contract with guard Raja Bell.

On the other hand, the Philadelphia 76ers were very disappointed with Van Horn. They needed to find a reliable helper for Iverson, so the New York Knicks, who were ambitious and talented, became the receivers. The Hawks traded Latrell Sprewell for Van Horn, while the Eagles traded Glenn Robinson to Philadelphia, only to get Rod Strickland's expiring contract and career from the Timberwolves. Anthony Peeler in his final years.

The Timberwolves who got Sprewell may become the biggest winner. Arenas, Sprewell, Szczerbiak, Jermaine O'Neal and Nesterovic's starting five are both offensive and defensive. underestimate.

"Danny Ainge traded Lavlenz, did he want to keep Paul Pierce through his alumni relationship, but he finally understood that Antoine Walker is not the future of the team, so he made a decisive decision." The deals went on and on, but Jim stayed put.

"Dallas and Minnesota have both made major reinforcements. You really don't need to make adjustments to the established plan?" Kupchak was a little impatient. The Mavericks filled the weakest small forward position, and Sprewell was A ruthless character with both offense and defense, it is obvious that the Timberwolves are preparing for Kobe.

"These are all within the plan. Waiting for tomorrow, the good show will be staged."
