Johnson didn't speak, his first instinct was to look at Nelson Jr.

"I think Sun's value is higher than Kobe."

Nelson Jr. replied.

Compared to Nelson Sr., Nelson Jr. is clearly a calmer person.

Although the old Nelson had never told him about this before, and he was strongly opposed to it after hearing it, he still picked the most useful thing to say.

"Sun's market value, as well as his court performance stability, are higher than Kobe's, and even in terms of personal image, Sun is more like a 'calf'."

Nelson Jr.'s next words are all about the main points.

Cuban nodded, but didn't speak.

He knew that Little Nelson and Sun Hao had a good relationship, and this answer was basically what he expected.

He then looked at Johnson.

Johnson's point of view is what he cares more about.

In terms of personal relationships, Johnson and Sun Hao have almost none;

In terms of the court, Johnson and Sun Hao are not bad partners, but they are not as close as the old Nelson;

"I think there are pros and cons."

Johnson saw that Cuban was looking at him, and then he also said his opinion.

"Sun is more familiar with the team and his ability is not weak, but he is worse than Kobe Bryant in terms of physical talent, and the ceiling will be lower, but there may be a bad run-in in the trade Kobe, and Kobe's character is a hidden danger."

What Johnson said sounds more objective.

Kuban also nodded after listening.

"I see."

Cuban didn't say anything further, and after listening to the opinions of the two, he then motioned for the two to go.

After the two of them were gone, Cuban then picked up the phone and called back to Bass Jr.

……

After Nelson Jr. left the office, he said hello to Johnson and left.

Looking at little Nelson leaving, Johnson sighed.

There are too many people in this Mavericks team who have a good relationship with Sun Hao, and only he can speak fairly.

……

When Nelson Jr. returned to his office, he called Nelson Sr. and told him about Cuban's approach.

"I can feel that Mark is ready to trade."

Nelson Jr. spoke his judgment.

Although Cuban didn't say it, after all, he also worked in the management for a lot of time, and he still knows how to look at words.

Cuban obviously ignored his opinion, which shows that Cuban actually has a decision in mind.

Looking for them, it's more of a formality.

In other words, the only person who can stop the deal from happening right now is Nelson Sr.

After about half an hour, the elder Nelson arrived at the arena.

He greeted Nelson Jr. and headed straight to Cuban's office.

"Mark, you still want to trade Sun?!"

Old Nelson didn't knock on the door, he pushed the door in and asked angrily.

A year of Swiss escort has made his temper temper a lot less, but as the saying goes, the country is easy to change and its nature is difficult to change.

Kuban directly ignored his opinion, and this time he made a decision without even consulting him, which made him unable to control his temper anymore.

Kuban's brow furrowed.

If it had been before, he thought that old Nelson's behavior of pushing the door in so directly would be fine.

After all, the whole of Dallas knew about Nelson's temper severant, and he certainly knew it.

No one is perfect, and if you want to employ people, you have to learn to accept some small faults of the other party.

But after listening to what Bass Jr. said, Cuban felt that the old Nelson in front of him was too much to see.

Except for the Mavericks, what other team manager would dare to talk to the team owner like this?

Kuban grimaced and didn't speak.

The atmosphere was a little dreary.

Old Nelson also seemed to realize that he had been impulsive just now.

He coughed twice and moistened his throat, then walked over to the Kuban and sat down.

"Mark, the fans in Dallas don't think that the team sent Sun away, if they really send him away, our ball market will go down."

Old Nelson softened his tone.

He knew that Cuban would not be interested in hearing any more of the rhetoric he had said before, so he changed to something new.

"I don't think so, it's just the Chinese market that we're going to lose, but that doesn't actually help us much, and Kobe Bryant can bring us an improvement in the local market, which is visible."

There are too many conditions for Yao Ming's success in Houston in history, and there are requirements for the city.

The city of Dallas is hard to describe, even with Sun Hao's years of accumulation and efforts, the Chinese market is still limited.

"Sun is the guard who fits the team's tactical system the most, and Kobe Bryant's personal offensive desire is too strong."

Nelson Sr. continued.

Cuban suddenly smiled at this time.

"Tang, a good coach is to teach according to his aptitude, choose different tactics for different players, rather than using tactics to pick players, I think you have done a good job in this regard in the past, why did you suddenly make a mistake in Sun's affairs?"

What Cuban didn't say was that he actually felt that if he was in Johnson's system, Kobe Bryant would be more like a fish in water.

Misplaced singles, who in this league can do better than Kobe Bryant now?

"Don, I know you love Sun as much as you did with Steve, but you have to know that you're not just the manager, you're the general manager."

Seeing that old Nelson still wanted to say, Cuban directly blocked his mouth with words this time.

This sentence is to make old Nelson take care of the big picture, and at the same time to knock him.

After all, Cuban has not been the boss for a long time, and Bass Jr.'s reminder is very timely, he can be good to the people below, but at the same time, he must also establish good prestige.

Otherwise, after Nelson Sr., Nelson Jr. would be like this, then he would really lose face as a boss.

Old Nelson, naturally, also heard it.

He was visibly stunned.

He knew that something, without he even noticing, had changed, and had become different from what he had been before he left for Europe.

The two men looked at each other for a while, and there was silence in the office for a while.

Finally, Old Nelson took a deep breath, as if he had made a decision.

"I think Sun's role now is irreplaceable by Kobe, and if you want to do that, then I resign."

Nash finally chose to back down, but Sun Hao didn't do it this time.

It's his personal emotional aspect.

There is also a tactical level, and Kobe Bryant does not fit into his system.

Even if he doesn't say so now, Kobe Bryant will work with him for a while, and he will end up in a bad mood.

So he chose to gamble.

He bet on his contributions to the team that could make Cuban change his mind.

It's also the biggest bet he can give.

Kuban's face was very bad.

Old Nelson, this is threatening him.

After he was teased by Bass Jr., he couldn't accept Nelson Sr.'s attitude at all.

"I'll trade with the Lakers."

Kuban voiced his answer.

Although it is not explicitly stated, the meaning is actually clear enough.

If old Nelson is really going to resign, resign!

After listening to this, the elder Nelson stood up, took one last look at Cuban, and turned to leave Cuban's office.

When he got out, he couldn't help but laugh out loud in the hallway.

He joined the Mavericks in 1996 and became the team's head coach after a season as general manager.

Although the first few years were not good, since Sun Hao was drafted in 2000, he led the team one step at a time, and eventually helped the Mavericks win the first championship trophy in history.

Eight years have passed in a flash, but now, Cuban has ignored his threat to resign.

It's a business alliance after all.

Little Nelson was frightened when he heard the laughter, and he was under the impression that Nelson Sr. had never reacted like this.

He walked briskly up to his father, and after a moment of conversation, he was shocked.

He had the impression that Cuban was not such a ruthless boss.

It must have been the same as in the past, and there was another quarrel between his father and Kuban.

"I'm going to talk to Mark!"

Little Nelson was leaving.

"No, I'm tired."

Nelson Sr. grabbed his son.

"Then I'll go home too!"

Nelson Jr. saw Nelson Sr.'s reaction and continued.

If Nelson Sr. was forced to leave, there was no need for him to stay.

"No, I'm me, you're you, you have your own business."

Nelson Sr. immediately rejected Nelson Jr.'s offer.

He didn't feel that his son was just attached to his own existence.

In his absence this past year, Nelson Jr. has proven himself to be a general manager who can take matters into his own.

"Okay, I'll go back and rest first, I guess Mark will let you go to the negotiation later."

Nelson Sr. patted his son on the shoulder, then turned and walked out of the arena.

Little Nelson looked at the back of old Nelson, and he suddenly noticed that the big-bellied, incomparably tall father was also a little hunched at this time.

……

Old Nelson walked to the door of the stadium, he didn't go home as he said, but took a taxi and went to Sun Hao's "Evolution House".

Sun Hao is in a heads-up with a child.

If the kid remembers correctly, it should be the son of old Curry.

"Stephen, you'd better work on your strength with Bell."

After pressing Curry to the ground and blasting the hammer, Sun Hao couldn't help but speak.

Although Curry is still young, the confrontation is really too bad.

Historically, he was so prone to injury after entering the NBA, in addition to the way he exerted his strength, confrontation was also a major factor.

Curry nodded, he still listened to what Uncle Sun Hao said.

At this moment, Durant whistled, and then made a color to Sun Hao.

Sun Hao turned his head and found that it was Old Nelson who came.

He suddenly had a hunch.

In the past few days, he has also communicated with Fu Paul.

Naturally, Fu Paul also told him about the negotiations between the Lakers and the Wizards with the Mavericks.

"Are you free? Going out for a drink or two? ”

Old Nelson squeezed out a smile.

Sun Hao paused.

When he went out to drink in the middle of the day, old Nelson was either addicted to alcohol, or he was really in trouble.

"Kevin, wait until I get back."

Sun Hao turned his head and shouted to Durant again.

Enough one-on-one with Bell has been played, and his current entertainment is to ravage Curry and Durant.

Duran nodded.

Although they were all ravaged, he could feel his progress after being ravaged.

……

Sun Hao and Nelson Sr. took a taxi to the nearest western restaurant nearby.

The two of them ordered some snacks casually, and the main thing, of course, was wine, but also beer.

And the special one is the dark beer.

He really doesn't like the bitterness of dark beer.

But old Nelson wanted to drink it, and he drank it too.

The elder Nelson and he chatted over a drink, and the conversation was basically about some experiences in Switzerland.

For example, Swiss chocolate is really delicious, better than anything he has ever eaten in the United States.

For example, it is really cheap to buy a watch in Switzerland, but unfortunately it is not enough to bring it there, otherwise he is also going to buy one for Sun Hao.

"The scenery of that country is really good, you must go there with Scarlett when you have the opportunity in the future."

Old Nelson this is automated as a tour guide.

Sun Hao nodded with a smile after listening.

"Scarlett, she's from Los Angeles, right?"

At this moment, after taking a big sip of his temper, old Nelson looked at him and asked.

Sun Hao nodded, he was curious why Old Nelson suddenly asked about this.

Don't......

"You're going to send me to Los Angeles?"

Sun Hao asked with a smile.

Old Nelson didn't expect Sun Hao to ask such a question, and he laughed after being stunned for a while.

"Sun, I've resigned."

After laughing, he suddenly spoke.

This time it was Sun Hao's turn to be caught off guard, and the wine glass that came to his mouth was put down again.

"Resign? Why? ”

The news came too suddenly.

"It's nothing, I'm tired, you know I'm almost 70 years old!"

Old Nelson said with a laugh.

Of course, Sun Hao could see that the old Nelson had something to say, but since the old Nelson chose not to say it, there must be a reason not to say it.

"Is it related to me?"

Sun Hao then asked.

"What do you think, it's mainly Anne, I've seen it in the past year, family is more important than anything else."

Old Nelson said something very touching.

Sun Hao nodded.

Indeed, the old Nelson is no longer the same as in history, the championship has also been won, and the focus of attention is naturally different.

"So I want to say it's good to be able to spend more time with Scarlett."

Old Nelson, after all, still didn't say anything about the transaction.

Because he felt that Sun Hao knew about this matter earlier, and there was not much difference between knowing it later.

"Come on, keep drinking, now that I'm retired, don't use the alliance to block me, I still have to drink with you."

Old Nelson figured it out and felt that the whole person was more relaxed than ever.

People are like this sometimes, the more they care about something, the more pressure they feel.

But once you choose to let go, you'll find it easier than ever.

……

Just when the old Nelson and Sun Hao were drinking, little Nelson had been called to the office by Cuban to discuss the transaction.

The Lakers and Kobe Bryant were the top picks.

However, it is by no means limited to the Lakers, or even limited to the Lakers and Wizards.

What Cuban wants Nelson Jr. to do is go to all the teams where they are possible and ask around.

Trading, naturally, is about price comparison.

As for the leakage of news, there is no need to worry, because Cuban has already made up his mind, no matter which company he deals with, he is ready to make a decision today. (Recommended reading: Reading Files 2013)
