Chapter 6 Confirmed (Asking for a Commuter Pass)
"Brett, this guy is too ......!" Mike Budenholzer was a little excited, but Anxi could see that he was just jokingly excited, because Brett Brown had a very good relationship with him, after all, he was from the same school, and Brett Brown had just taken office with the 76ers, and he was also one of the assistant coaches of the Spurs before, but he was just an ordinary assistant coach, not the chief assistant coach.

"He jumped out at the critical moment!"
Now Mike Budenholzer senses the crisis, and he thinks that maybe Brett Brown will come up with better conditions for Anxi.
Brett Brown arrived soon, and he didn't come alone, as Samsinki, the new general manager of the 76ers, came with him.
Then as soon as he entered the door and saw Mike Budenholzer, he gave Mike Budenholzer a big hug, and it seemed that he was much more confident than Mike Budenholzer.
"Mike, I didn't expect you to be there." Brett Brown looked at Mike Budenholzer and said with a smile.
"yes, why can't you be here with me?" Mike Budenholzer replied lukewarmly, apparently very unhappy with Bret Brown's sudden appearance, seeing that he was about to succeed.
Brett Brown ignored An Xi, he looked resolute, and turned his head directly to look at An Xi: "An, I sincerely invite you to come to Philadelphia to continue your career, I will give you the greatest help." ”
An Xi nodded, wanting to say something, but Brett Brown continued, leaving no time for An Xi to speak.
"I know, Anxi, you want the right to fire, I can promise the right to fire without limits!"
Unlimited right to fire!? Mike Budenholzer's mouth opened wide.
"And tactical freedom, I'll give you the maximum tactical freedom!"
"Maximum tactical freedom!? Mike Budenholzer felt like he was finished.
"Also, we've already negotiated with Popovich in advance, and we can use a deal to sign and trade from San Antonio."
Well, it's really over...... Mike Budenholzer felt that he had no chance at all, and Brett Brown almost unconditionally agreed to all of Anxi's requests, how could this compete?
Mike Budenholzer also wanted to shout: "I also give you unlimited right to fire, and I also give you maximum tactical freedom......"
But he really can't call it out, the Hawks are different from the 76ers, the 76ers have officially entered a rebuilding period, Brett Brown has no pressure on the record, and he Mike Budenholzer is different, although the Hawks have taken Joe Johnson and Josh Smith in a row, but there are also Jeff Teague, Al Horford, and Paul Millsap, who is close to signing, in terms of overall strength, the Hawks are aiming for the playoffs.
Therefore, Mike Budenholzer will not give Anxi unlimited firing rights, because he feels that Anxi is not Kobe Bryant, and he can't guarantee the team's record with unlimited firing rights.
So, at this moment, Mike Budenholzer can only give Brett Brown a thumbs up and say, "You won." ”
Brett Brown did win, An Xi hesitated, and said that he should think about it, and sent away two groups of people, Mike Budenholzer knew that in fact, An Xi just gave them a step down, and the final result was self-evident.
……
Sending away Mike Budenholzer and Brett Brown, Anxi was actually still thinking about it, he didn't make a choice directly as Mike Budenholzer thought, and chose the 76ers, he felt that whether it was an unlimited right to fire, or a certain degree of right to fire, they all had their own advantages.
The advantage of the 76ers is that they have unlimited firing rights and no pressure on their records, and Anxi can brush data and upgrade the system without pressure.
The advantage of the eagles is that the record will be offline, but Anxi's data will not be too enjoyable, and the upgrade of the system will be more difficult, so ......
Anxi slowly leaned towards the 76ers, after all, his top priority is the system.
So An Xi picked up the phone with a wry smile and dialed Donnie Nelson first to express his apologies.
Next, dial Mike Budenholzer, who had just left.
No sooner had Mike Budenholzer arrived at his hotel in Los Angeles when his cell phone rang, like a talisman, making Mike Budenholzer nervous, and his instinct told him that it must be a rejection call.
"Coach Mike, it's me, Ann."
"Ann, you know, you're ready to make the final decision?" Mike Budenholzer felt his voice tremble a little, and he didn't know if it was an illusion.
"Yes, I'm sorry, Coach Mike."
"Okay, Ann, I see, it's okay, good luck."
Hanging up the phone, An Xi suddenly felt a little cruel, but fortunately, there were only two such calls, and the next phone call would have no such psychological pressure at all.
Dial Brett Brown's number, which he just saved
"Coach Brett." An Xi just said hello, and Brett Brown on the other side of the phone directly interrupted An Xi's words.
"Ann, I know, you're welcome."
An Xi listened to this very confident sentence, he thought about it for a while and made a joke: "No, Coach Brett, I'm here to apologize." ”
Brett Brown smiled on the other end of the phone: "No, no kidding, Ann, I'm serious, you're welcome." ”
An Xi also laughed: "Okay, Coach Brett, please give me more advice in the future." ”
The other end of the phone laughed, everything, in the summer of 2013, was confirmed......
Abby walked downstairs, and when Anxi talked about these things, she didn't participate in it, but Anxi finally decided that she still had to ask.
"Ann, have you decided?"
An Xi nodded: "Well, it's decided, Philadelphia." ”
"Why Philadelphia?"
"Unlimited right to fire, I need that."
"Okay, I'm rooting for you, now I'm going to look for real estate information in Philadelphia online." Abby smiled and kissed An Xi on the face, and then went back upstairs, An Xi smiled, there is a good wife at home.
……
Anxi confirmed that he was going to the 76ers, so he made a phone call to Yvoclark to inform him of his final decision, and the transfer process began.
First, the Spurs and the 76ers held talks and decided on a sign-and-trade plan, with the 76ers sending out Lavoy Allen in exchange for the Spurs' Anxi plus a future second-round pick. In this deal, Popovich also took a step, and in fact, this deal is equivalent to the 76ers trading Lavoy Allen for the Spurs' second-round pick, which is basically an equivalent trade.
Anxi's contract was agreed on in the three-way talks, and Anxi, Ivoclark and the agency's lawyers were all in attendance, and in the end, Anxi was given a big five-year contract of $58.4 million, with a player option for the final year.
So, the deal was confirmed, and Anxi was about to transfer to the 76ers! (To be continued.) )
