Chapter 607: Jordan's Plea (Fifth Shift, Second Shift)
It's been a long time since Jordan has followed Kwame Brown's news.
It was a kind of escape, not wanting to think about the dark experience of Kwame Brown.
Jordan's entire career has been brilliant, but it was during his two years with the Wizards that his career did not seem so 100% perfect.
It's not too much to say that he is not guaranteed to be late in the evening......
At that time, during the dark experience with the Wizards, Jordan had two regrets, one failed to bring the rise of the Wizards, and the second was that he chose Kwame Brown.
If the Odds can rise, even if it is just to make the Eastern Conference playoffs, if Kwame Brown is not a parallel product, even if it is just the level of Bogut, then Jordan will not have any regrets in his career.
This season, Kwame Brown was sold to the Lakers by the Wizards.
Kwame's four-year contract in his rookie season has come to an end, but the Wizards are certainly not willing to keep him, and the Lakers are interested in him.
In this case, the Wizards adopted a sign-and-trade approach for Kwame Brown, signing him to a three-year, $22 million contract, and then selling him to the Lakers in exchange for Caron Butler.
Barrett is good, but the overlap with Kobe Bryant's position, coupled with the Lakers' lack of interior line, this deal is naturally quite easy to achieve.
The current Lakers lineup is simply miserable, and even the Wizards, who are not wanted by a fish-belly team, can sit in the starting center position when they reach the Lakers......
Because he just joined the Lakers, no one knows whether Kwame Brown can be reborn in the Lakers.
If Richard were to be asked this question, his answer would be no.
Kwame Brown is physical, but his performance on the court is awkward, with frequent low-level errors in open positions and dribbling out of bounds.
Thinking about Kobe's temperament, he will definitely not trust such a teammate.
After the Lakers' Bynum rose, Kwame Brown was basically abandoned, and was sent to the Grizzlies by the Lakers in the big Gasol trade, and completely began to wander.
Not to mention, under normal circumstances, the Bobcats, who were in charge of Jordan for 10 years, really signed Kwame Brown......
……
Bogut's words, Jordan's heart is called a hate.
Rushed straight to Richard's office.
"Lee, you know what that Australian kid said, right?"
Richard nodded, this matter was in a uproar, how could he not know.
Although it is not a big deal, but with the word Jordan, it will definitely gain the attention of countless fans.
Richard now actually has the same influence, and his every move could make headlines tomorrow.
"Michael, don't be so excited, a kid who hasn't grown any hair can't be so angry." Richard said with a smile.
"You don't have a backache when you stand and talk, if it were you, you guess the next time you meet him, you can beat him into a pig's head." Jordan said dissatisfied.
Richard smiled awkwardly, as if Jordan was right, if Bogut dared to contradict himself like this, then he could really beat this guy into a pig's head.
"Lee, you have to help me with this."
"Think of a way to see if you can get Kwame and then train him."
"I believe in your ability, even if it's just a piece of shit, in your hands, you can become an all-star ......"
"Besides, Kwamei is not shit, he is still in good shape, you can take him over and train him to be a super blue-collar like Big Ben......"
"I didn't expect much, just to be an All-Star once."
Jordan said to Richard with a bitter face, almost in a pleading tone.
Richard was dumbfounded, Jordan hurriedly ran into his office, and it was for this?
He clearly remembered that in order to prevent Kwamei from being tyrannized by Yao Ming, Jordan called him to intercede.
Now he is begging himself to train Kwame Brown......
It can be seen that Jordan is definitely true love for Kwame Brown.
But now the problem is that Kwame Brown has just joined the Lakers, and even if he wants to cultivate Kwame Brown, there is no chance at all.
Someone just traded Caron Butler and Atkins for a starting center, can you ask for it? Even if Kobe Bryant and Richard have a fairly good relationship, this is completely impossible.
Now the Lakers are still talking about Zen master Jackson.
Although Jackson stepped down from the position of head coach, he now holds the position of president of basketball affairs for the Lakers, and he has another identity.
Jenny Bass's boyfriend ......
led the team to win the championship in the Lakers, and now has the identity of the quasi-son-in-law of the Bass family, and the current Zen master is in the Lakers, and it is conceivable how much power to speak.
The previous deal of Kwame Brown was operated by the Zen master.
Now Jordan said that if he wants Richard to cultivate Kwame Brown, the first difficulty is that the Buccaneers can't get Kwame Brown at all, so how can they train it.
Of course, if the Pirates are willing to pay a hefty price, the deal can still be done.
But with the high price, in exchange for parallel goods like Kwame Brown, Richard has not gone crazy to that point.
……
"Michael, you should know that this is impossible, not in the short term, to be exact."
"Even if you have a good relationship with the Zen master, there is no way he will give Kwame Brown Bai to our pirate team." Richard said solemnly.
Jordan nodded, this is not true at all, at this point in time, if their pirate team applies for a trade to the Lakers, it will be strange if they are not slaughtered by the Zen master.
However, Richard's words also reinvigorated Jordan's hope.
"Li, what you said is impossible in the short term, is it possible that in the short term, you are willing to help me?"
"That's right, if there's a chance of getting Kwame Brown at a low price in the future, I'll grant you that wish and get him an All-Star."
"It's just that this has to wait for the Lakers to give up Kwame Brown, you can rest assured that the Lakers won't give up Kwame in less than two years, and then it's your chance."
Now that the Lakers have gotten Bynum, when Bynum finishes this rookie season, it's time to be reused, and at that time, Kwame Brown will have little value for the Lakers, and the Buccaneers will definitely be able to get Kwame Brown at a very low price.
"Good!"
"In less than two years, I can wait."
"Thank you, my fellow, and honestly, I'm incredibly glad I worked with you right now."
Jordan said with a smile, his words came from the bottom of his heart, if it weren't for cooperating with Richard, he would probably be annoyed by the team's trivial matters right now.
Now because of Richard, he doesn't have to pay too much attention to the trivial affairs of the team, and he happily comes to the team every day to show his face, and he has lived the addiction of the boss......
……
After sending Jordan away, Richard smiled wryly and sighed.
This is not good to cooperate with others to run the team, and the other party may make some more unreasonable demands.
For example, Jordan now wants to develop Kwame Brown, which is quite unreasonable in a normal team......
Fortunately, this matter is not particularly difficult, otherwise, Richard would have had to refuse Jordan.
