Chapter 106: The decision has been made
At ten o'clock in the morning, Daddy drove Davidson to Willis's office.
Willis's face was very bad, apparently he had slept quite badly last night.
I don't know if I was excited to win the championship, or I was worried about my dad and Muresan leaving the team.
"Chuck, Wilson, you're finally here." Willis Reed stood up, a smile on his face.
He has been the general manager of the Nets for three years, and the moment he won the championship last night was the most exciting moment in three years, but the next hour is now his most tormenting moment!
Chuck Daley is gone, which is definitely a huge loss for the Nets.
If it weren't for Chuck Daley, the Nets would probably have lost the Magic this year!
And now it's not just Chuck Daley who has resigned, but even the team's Indian center, Muresan, is leaving......
After the press conference last night, Willis Reid went directly to Muresan's residence and talked to Muresan in person, hoping that Muresan would change his mind.
But to his surprise, Muresan's attitude was quite clear, no matter what Willis-Reed promised, he only had one sentence......
"As long as Davidson goes, I will definitely go, and no one can keep me."
Willis Reid is going crazy, he is both soft and hard, promising Murraysan a big contract after he finishes next season, and can even give up this year's team option and sign him directly to a five-year, fifteen-million dollar contract!
It was completely useless, Muresan didn't blink his eyes, and directly refused.
Soft can't do it, Willis Reed came hard again, and warned Murraysan to be so hard with the team, and the last regret must be himself.
As a result, Muresan simply ignored him and pushed him out of the door.
……
After leaving Muresan, he made another call to team owner Cohen.
With such a big matter, he naturally had to report it to Cohen.
As a result, when Cohen heard the news, he was furious.
Davidson's actions are, in Cohen's view, undoubtedly a rebellion......
As a result, Cohen's side directly gave Willis Reed a directive, telling him to leave this matter alone and hold a championship parade.
……
"Wilson, you're too impulsive about this." Willis Reid looked at Davidson with some apprehension.
Davidson shook his head, he didn't feel that he was doing something impulsive.
If you are not impulsive, you can't do it, wait for the Nets to give you the right words, I don't know the Year of the Monkey and the month of the horse, and the daylily will be cold by then.
"Why don't you go and apologize to Cohen, you know, he's angry right now."
"When he is angry, I will help you fight for the position of head coach, with our efforts, the Nets have just won the championship, and no one wants to break up like this."
Listening to Willis Reed's words, Davidson frowned, what kind of joke to make himself apologize?
What did you do wrong, you Nets don't use yourself, isn't it possible that you are not allowed to find another job?
What is wrong with me?
Dad is also a little dissatisfied and makes his children apologize? He didn't approve of that.
It didn't take long for Dad to leave the general manager's office with Davidson.
Because there's really nothing left to talk about.
Willis Reed is caught in the middle, which is actually very difficult, if it weren't for this, Daddy would probably have sprayed at Willis Reed.
At twelve o'clock in the afternoon, as soon as I got home, my father's phone rang.
It turned out to be the New York Knicks, who didn't come to Davidson, but wanted to ask Dad to be the head coach of the Knicks.
Daddy naturally refused, even if he didn't have the idea of retiring now, he didn't want to get involved in the Knicks' mess.
Even a human spirit like Pat Riley couldn't die well in the Knicks, and he left in disgrace, and if he was someone else, it is estimated that he would last for a shorter time.
The Knicks had just hung up the phone, and Boston Green Kai had another call.
As a result, it was another search for a dad, and Green Kai head coach Chris Ford was also fired, and they are now also looking for a new head coach.
Dad, who has just led the team to win the championship, is naturally an excellent candidate for the new head coach.
What made Davidson smile wryly was that several more teams called Daddy, all of whom invited Daddy to be the head coach.
Naturally, Dad refused all of them.
"Toronto Raptors? Looking for Davidson? Dad answered the phone again, and immediately laughed, finally a team came to Davidson.
The Toronto Raptors and Vancouver Grizzlies, two Canadian teams, are the product of this year's NBA expansion.
Starting next season, the two teams will become part of the NBA family, and the total number of teams in the league will increase from 27 to 29.
Davidson took the phone and chatted with them for a while.
The other party can be said to be full of sincerity and promised Davidson the position of head coach.
Of course, Davidson could hear from the other party's tone that the other party really cared about Murraysan the most.
"Wilson, you can really think about the Raptors, this is a completely new team, like a blank slate, just for a newcomer like you to go big." Daddy spoke, and he thought it would be a pretty good choice for Davidson to go to the Raptors.
Davidson shook his head, Canada is too far away, and if you really go to Canada, it will be difficult to meet your father in the future.
It didn't take long for the Vancouver Grizzlies to call Davidson as well.
Like the Raptors, Davidson's position as head coach is also promised, but the Grizzlies are much more straightforward, hoping that Davidson can bring Murraysang to the Grizzlies.
Brand new teams like the Raptors and Grizzlies don't have a single star on the team......
There are two ways to recruit players for a newly formed team like theirs.
One is the expansion draft, which is to select some players from a list of players that other teams don't want.
The second is a normal draft, and they had a good first-round pick in the '95 draft.
The first way is definitely not to choose any decent players, after all, people don't want them.
As for the second way, no one dares to say that they can really pick a star in the draft.
So a Muressan, for them, the temptation is quite great.
Anyway, a team like theirs can't ask for any too good results, and it's different who to use as the head coach?
The Grizzlies are also located in Canada, and Davidson doesn't really want to go.
However, he certainly won't just turn down the Raptors and Grizzlies, and if no team comes to him next, he'll definitely have to pick these two teams.
Davidson clearly underestimated Muresan's appeal to these belly-wrenching teams.
Next, the Philadelphia 76ers and the Timberwolves also called.
Then the Golden State Warriors also called.
The Warriors' call made both Dad and Davidson completely unexpected.
Because the current head coach of the Warriors is Nelson Sr., could it be said that Nelson Sr. was fired by the Warriors?
