Chapter 4 James Dolan's Order!
The Knicks easily defeated the Bulls, but did not attract others' attention. Speaking of which, the Knicks are really the most miserable defending champion in NBA history. Other defending champions will be the most concerned weather vane for other teams, but the Knicks were ignored.
The reason is what Van Gundy Jr. said--Donny Walsh is all blamed.
But this is true. Donny Walsh has to take the blame even if he doesn't take the blame. Does he have to take Zhou Mubai?
Could it be that he wants to say to the public that the reason why I don’t sign up is not because I’m not capable, but because Zhou Mubai is too strong, so they are unwilling to come to the Knicks?
This is a bit nonsense.
James Dolan was also very angry. He called Donny Walsh to his house and scolded him fiercely, and then gave Donny Walsh a death order - no matter what, he had to find a good helper for Zhou Mubai!
James Dolan thinks so. Although Zhou Mubai said that the current lineup is pretty good, who knows if he just talks. If he plays well this year, it would be fine. If he misses the front, what can Zhou Mubai be upset then?
At that time, should we say to Zhou Mubai - now, these are the people you want, no matter what our business is?
Stop being funny.
The ideas of superstars have always been difficult to speculate. What they don’t say is just waiting for you to take the initiative to do it.
Look at what lineup of the Celtics - Pierce, Garnett, Sir Jr., Ray Allen, Rondo, O'Neal Jr., Perkins...it sounds scary;
Let’s take a look at the Heat’s lineup - James (the strongest small forward in the league, the top three players in the league), Wade (second only to Kobe’s shooting guard and the top ten players in the league), Bosh (Boss’ personal data averaged 22.6 points and 10.7 rebounds per game in the 2006-07 season, ranking seventh in the MVP ranking at the end of the season, and he is also considered the top ten players in the league). A team has three top ten players in the league. How terrible is such a lineup?
Let’s take a look at the Lakers’ lineup - Kobe (the strongest point guard in the league, the top three players in the league), Howard (the first center in the league, who can replace James alone), Gasol (one of the top power forwards in the league), Odom (the left-hand magician), Artest (a tough defender who can carry James alone);
Even the Spurs have the three big GDP players that are still strong.
Looking back at the Knicks, tsk, except for Zhou Mubai who can take action, the others are really sad.
Chandler was a sigh-worthy glass man before last season. He performed well last season, but in the end he was just a functional center without independent attack;
Kevin Martin can only be regarded as a player with congenital shortcomings and a player who is easily forgotten. If a few friends chat together and suddenly mention the name Kevin Martin, the atmosphere on the spot may cool down - who is this person?
Yes, Kevin Martin may be a good player, but he is too low-key, so low-key that his score is second in the team. But when people mention the Knicks, they can vaguely remember such a player next to Zhou Mubai;
Antoine Jamison is already old. He was born in 1976 and is 34 years old. In two months, he will be 35 years old. A 35-year-old player, in addition to those prides of the emperor, how much oil is there in the fuel tank at this age, and how much influence can the team play?
Garinari, Korver, Fry... These are all role players.
After all, the Knicks are still a single-core team today!
In the summer, the Heat were formed, the Celtics were introduced, the Lakers exchanged a Bynum for the first center, and the Spurs' GDP three. These super teams are all the Big Three, and only the Knicks are single-core teams.
Come on!
The Knicks are the largest football market in the league and the champion of last season. This summer, they lost a lot of money in the signing market, which made many people laugh at it. If the Knicks fail at that time, will Zhou Mubai blame the Knicks' management then?
James Dolan doesn’t need to guess. He just judges others by himself. If he were Zhou Mubai, he would definitely blame the Knicks. How rubbish is that he can’t find a star who is willing to join while he is rich and powerful?
James Dolan didn't want to see this happen. He also wanted Zhou Mubai to sign a big contract with him for ten or eight years. Although the NBA won't sign for so long, he will sign a contract for at least five years and tie Zhou Mubai to the Knicks' chariot. In this way, Zhou Mubai can at least bring a championship to the Knicks!
As long as Zhou Mubai is here, the Knicks will be very relaxed and comfortable for ten years.
With James Dolan's death order, Donny Walsh was depressed. He knew that his work in the summer was indeed unsatisfactory, and in fact he himself was not satisfied either.
Last season, he traded Zhou Mubai, Tyson, Chandler, Kevin Martin and others, and he became the best general manager last season, but in the summer he was beaten into the original form. The Knicks had a great situation, and they didn't lack money or exposure. They didn't even sign a superstar, and they were useless!
How can this satisfy him?
But where to find someone to trade now?
Even if you find someone who can trade, to be honest, the Knicks don’t have many chips now. The free market was the best opportunity for the Knicks, but they lost the opportunity in the free market. The Knicks draft pick has been overdrawn until 2014. There are not many existing players with great trading value. If you want to trade these players to a superstar, such as Cameron Anthony, you may have to use several starters to exchange them.
This may be the combination of Garlinari Chandler Kevin Martin, which allows the Nuggets to release the players, but after such a deal, the Knicks' lineup becomes incomplete. The key issue is Zhou Mubai's opinion.
Donny Walsh found Zhou Mubai and explained James Dolan's orders and his plan to Zhou Mubai.
After hearing this, Zhou Mubai shook his head and said, "Trading players was originally your power, and I shouldn't have argued, but I don't think such a trade will have any promotion or even counterproductive effect on the team.
Whether it is Garlinari, Chandler, or Kevin Martin, they are the best teammates in my eyes. We went through the Eastern Conference Finals and the Finals, and they are my most trusted teammates.
If they are traded, it will be a long process to re-engage with the new teammates."
Donny Walsh said: "Even if Cameron Anthony is in exchange for it?"
