Godfather of basketball: coach Dayao to win the championship

Thomas returned from the phone call soon after.

With Clarence Weatherspoon as a bargaining chip, a trade was made with the Boston Celtics.

The No.20 seventh pick in the second round was traded back.

This pick is basically at the end of the second round.

The Boston Celtics want to trade this pick for a player back at the forward position.

The rookie player Brandon Hunter was originally going to be selected.

Now I heard from the Knicks that they wanted to exchange this draft pick with Clarence Weatherspoon, and they were very happy to agree.

Brandon Hunter can be ranked last in the second round, which means that this player is not favored by the public.

And Clarence Weatherspoon, no matter what, was also a substitute player for the Knicks last season, making more than 70 appearances.

So the Celtics have no reason to say no.

On stage, Stern read out one name after another.

Finally, with the 27th overall pick in the second round, the Knicks chose Jose Calderon without hesitation.

The rest is waiting for the trading day to start

Jose Calderon, who was standing beside Han Ning, looked at Han Ning with gratitude in his eyes.

I muttered to myself: "We must train hard! Repay the boss for his kindness!"

.............

Finally, the draft is over.

Some are happy and some are sad.

The selected rookies are looking forward to becoming stars in the league in the future.

Of course, a player like LeBron James must be considered a star before he enters the league.

And those rookies who were not selected, lowered their heads and left in despair.

They also know very well that it is very difficult for them to enter the NBA again.

After the draft came to an end, Han Ning began to cast his target on the next target.

The current Knicks team has only [-] people.

Among them, there are Lee Nairon, Michael Doriak and others, who are not in Han Ning's plan for next season.

After removing this group of people, there are only 9 people left.

Can't even make up two lineups!

It can be said that the Knicks' lineup has been disabled by Han Ning in order to trade Dayao and Allen Iverson.

And Han Ning's first goal is Dikembe Mutombo.

In the original historical process, Uncle Mu once served as Dayao's substitute.

Even though he is in his 30s, he can still make great contributions to the interior defense.

Most importantly, he is not a key player for the Nets.

In the original historical process, Dikembe Mutombo will be bought out by the Nets in October this year.

So now is the best time to trade.

Han Ning can not only trade some unplanned players in the team, but also bring back Dikembe Mutombo to enhance the team's bench thickness.

He casually sent a list to Thomas, then came outside Thomas' new office, knocked on the door and walked in directly.

When Thomas saw Han Ning who had come uninvited, the corners of Thomas' mouth twitched slightly.

He just moved into this new office today, and Han Ning came here.

Looking at Han Ning who walked in directly after knocking on the door, Thomas thought of his previous office and felt a little uncomfortable.

And Han Ning also looked at Thomas' new office.

I have to say that it is much smaller than the previous one.

He actually had some doubts in his heart.

He didn't say last time that he would use Thomas's office for himself.

But Thomas didn't know that the string wasn't right.

Tell the Knicks office manager directly and give him his office.

Bai got a luxurious office, so Han Ning naturally had no reason to refuse.

It was accepted directly.

And now he turned his head to look at the actions in the new office, which made Thomas even more upset.

I gave you the previous office, so you want to grab this one too? !

"Cough." After coughing lightly, Thomas said in a deep voice, "Coach Han Ning, what's the matter with you coming to my new office?!"

Thomas said the words "new office" very forcefully.

It seemed to be reminding Han Ning of something.

Han Ning didn't pay much attention to Thomas' abnormality, and said softly, "I just sent you a list."

"On this list are players who are not in the team's plan for next season."

"I will send you another list in a while. It is the players I want in the new season. You try to trade them back as much as possible."

After hearing Han Ning's words, Thomas looked much better.

It's not as if someone came to grab my office.

He nodded and said, "I see."

Han Ning also nodded, and then said: "The first target is Dikembe Mutombo of the Nets. I hope to see him appear on the training ground tomorrow."

After speaking, Han Ning turned and left.

Thomas turned on the computer and looked through the list Han Ning sent him.

With just one glance, his eyes widened.

so many people!

Although these players did not play very well in the team.

But if so many people are cleared away at once, can the team still have enough people to play games? !

Thomas felt more and more that Han Ning was messing around.

But thinking of his boss's favoritism towards Han Ning before, Thomas frowned even more.

After a long time, he suddenly sneered and said, "Hehe, I'll just do what he says. I want to see what tricks he can play in the new season!"

Then he picked up the phone and dialed out.

"Jingle Bell."

"Hello?! I'm Thomas, the general manager of the Knicks, and I'm from the Nets......"

After about two or three hours, Thomas sent a message to Han Ning.

The Dikembe Mutombo deal has been sealed.

Han Ning didn't care too much.

Dikembe Mutombo's status in the Nets is not high.

The contract will be bought out in a few months.

It will not be difficult to trade directly now.

Moreover, although Dikembe Mutombo is very good defensively now, he is too old to play the role of a substitute on the offensive end.

It is necessary to find another qualified backup center forward.

Dayao's physical strength is not that sufficient. On the bench, at least a backup center who can bear a certain amount of offensive firepower is needed.

While Han Ning was staring at the rosters of other teams and the free agent market, a piece of news was suddenly exposed.

"The Trail Blazers cause infighting!"

"Violence in the Trail Blazers!"

"Violence at Trail Blazers prison team again!"

When Han Ning saw the news, he couldn't help raising his eyebrows, and his expression suddenly became excited.

Isn't this the opportunity to pick up the missed opportunity? !
