Chapter Seventy-Nine: The Stupidest Coach of All Time, Doug Rivers
From Popovich's account, Larry Brown knows in general what happened!
"Greg, trust me!"
"That kid is a villain, there must be something wrong with this weird offer!"
"Never promise him!"
Larry Brown has a lot of hatred for Richard, and he definitely doesn't want Richard to get his wish, and even if he is not Richard, as a neutral person, there must be a demon when things go wrong, and this matter is definitely not that simple!
"But his offer is so tempting, especially Clifford Robinson, if we can get it, it can greatly enhance our forward line!" Popovich naturally knows that when things go wrong, there must be a demon!
It's the chips given by Richard that have a certain temptation for him!
"Greg, it's up to you to make up your own mind......
"I'm suggesting you don't have any deal with that madman anyway, he's really crazy......" Larry Brown gave Popovich his idea.
Popovich laughed, and it seemed that Larry Brown also knew that this trade was a real blessing for the Spurs......
And their Spurs were second in the West last season, and this season's roster will be even further strengthened!
What do you want first-round picks for? Can they Spurs get the top few signings?!
It's impossible to think about!
Although it seems extremely weird, Popovich decided to give it a try, and there is no money to be cheap......
When Richard learned from Bob Hill that the Spurs were willing to buy a first-round pick from another team and sell their first-round pick to Richard!
Richard was dumbfounded, this ......
It's a little fucking embarrassing......
Trading is impossible to trade, it is impossible to trade in a lifetime.
If he really wants to trade, then Richard is a fool......
……
Richard is sad now, really sad......
Duncan, who has been thinking about it, not only didn't get it, but now he is also in trouble, the Spurs agreed to the trade, but his side changed his mind......
"Bob, let's do it......"
"Actually, I just wanted to get acquainted with Spurs, especially Greg, who I admire......"
"You're not really going to tell Greg about this deal......"
"If you think about it, you know it's impossible!"
"I don't have to be crazy to make this kind of trade to ......"
Richard could only push the pot in pain, which made Bob Hill on the other end of the phone stunned......
How many meanings?! Are you Richard playing tricks!
Trick Me Bob Hill......
Good guy, you said you won't trade now, then Popovich asked, what did Lao Tzu say?!
Say that you Richard wanted to establish a deep friendship with the Spurs, and then came to trick us?!
"Lee, this joke isn't funny at all...... Bob Hill suppressed the anger in his heart......
"I don't think Greg will be satisfied with this result!"
"You will never get the friendship of the Spurs for doing this!"
This last sentence, Bob Hill is already roaring out......
Richard is embarrassed, good fellow, he really offended the spurs to death!
gave hope to others, but it turned out that his side changed his mind again, and it is strange that the management of Spurs is not angry......
What kind of sin have you created......
It's all Duncan's fault! It's all to blame on this nerd......
So you are offending the Spurs?!
So you might become enemies with one-third of the league's coaches in the future?!
It's embarrassing......
The grudge with Larry Brown led to Richard's lack of contact with the Spurs, and now it is even more over, after this matter has passed, it is estimated that there is no room for relaxation in his relationship with the Spurs!
"Whew, I'm really anxious, Duncan's temptation is too great!"
"There's no hope of getting Duncan at all!"
The disappointment in Richard's heart is indescribable!
I've been thinking about how to get Duncan, but I didn't expect it to be so unrealistic!
Judging from this matter, Duncan is really a player of the Spurs, and no one can snatch it away, even if it is Richard, a bug who opens God's perspective, there is no way.
Duncan, as the best cornerstone player since the 90s, is afraid that any head coach will wake up laughing if he gets the opportunity to coach him......
Don't look at Popovich who has been praising Kobe and James, but if he really wants to exchange Kobe or James for Duncan, Popovich will definitely be a hundred unwilling......
Of course, this refers to being at the top of their game......
"Since there is no chance at all this time, try to catch it next time!" Richard comforted himself in his heart......
Duncan has dedicated his entire career to the Spurs, but in fact, Duncan has also had the idea of leaving the team, and it does not mean that he has made up his mind to retire from the Spurs from the beginning!
In the summer of 2000, Duncan's three-year, $10.2 million rookie contract expired......
It is conceivable that a player like Duncan became a free agent without renewing his contract with the Spurs in advance, setting off a huge storm in the player market!
And the Orlando Magic is the team that attracts Duncan the most!
Duncan's good friend Grant Hill is on the Magic team, and with the Magic bringing in Raptors supernova Maddy, if Duncan joins, it will be the prototype of a dynasty team!
And Duncan really became interested in Magic, and flew to Orlando in person to talk to Magic management about joining!
However, because of one person's stupidity, Duncan's plan to join the Magic went bankrupt!
This person is Doug Rivers, the same Doug Rivers who took his son Prince Rivers to play in the NBA......
How stupid can this person be?! It's so stupid that it makes people desperate!
Duncan proposed an inconsequential condition to join, which is not even a condition, it is basically equivalent to giving the Magic and himself a step, making others feel that they are not so casual to join the Magic......
That condition is that Duncan wants the Magic to allow him to take his friends and family to the game......
is such a simple condition, maybe nine out of nine head coaches, will say yes with a smile without saying a word!
That's FMVP, the second-youngest MVP in NBA history, a fool would refuse!
But there are really fools, and Doug Rivers directly rejected Duncan's conditions......
And then......
And then there is no more......
Duncan received a call from Popovich, and after some bitter persuasion, Duncan renewed his contract with the Spurs!
In his previous life, when Richard knew about this, he was stupid......
He couldn't figure out why an NBA head coach could be so stupid, it was definitely a brain in the water, otherwise, there was really no way to explain it!
You can give your stupid son an annual salary of more than 10 million, so you can't watch away games for Duncan's relatives and friends? That's a few bucks......
But looking at Doug Rivers' reputation among the fan base later, it seems that this product has a bad reputation, and it is not for nothing......
If Richard were to pick one of the stupidest head coaches in NBA history, Richard would definitely vote for Doug Rivers without hesitation......
History is the stupidest!
Not one of them!
