Tom was direct, and the sentence 'completely unbeatable' briefly and forcefully described the strength comparison between Zhang Feng and Peak Rondo.

"The Kings are lucky, they always pick good players, from Terreic Evans, to Cousins, to Zhang Feng, why do we only pick one Anthony Davis?".

Tom said to himself, Dale listened to the panic, reasonable, the selection of Anthony Davis is not a credit to the management at all, even if people who know a little bit of basketball common sense, Anthony Davis will be selected with the first pick in the draft year.

Now that Tom is saying this, after Dale boasted that he did a good job last summer, he can't stop speculating about what Tom is trying to say, accusing him of bad drafts in recent years. Or do you want to bring up some other topics?

The best thing to do before I don't understand is not to speak, Dale pretended not to hear, and waited for Tom's next sentence with his head down.

"Fortunately, the Kings don't develop players very well, from Hassan Whiteside to Thomas Jr., they have missed a lot of superstars, and they won't sign free agents, if they still have Cousins, Rondo, Whiteside, plus Zhang Feng, wouldn't it be against the sky?" Tom's tone was full of exclamation.

This is reasonable, and it is understandable that the Kings management let go of Whiteside and Thomas Jr., but spending 20 million to sign George Hill is really a bit incomprehensible.

"But they are still lucky, like winning 5 million, and they actually selected Zhang Feng with the No. 5 pick," Dale echoed.

"The first 4 teams are okay, after all, they have already made promises to the players to be selected, and they have not tried out Zhang Feng, but the Knicks have tried out Zhang Feng and not selected, it's incredible" Tom shook his head.

"Well, I heard that Phil Jackson wanted to trade the No. 2 pick with the Lakers with the No. 8 pick of Porgi Zinsplus, and then use the No. 2 pick to select Zhang Feng, but Dolan didn't agree," Dale couldn't help but laugh.

"Dolan is not aiming to win the championship, the Knicks are big ball market, they can make money by any operation, if a peak can't be played, then they will lose a lot, and there is another reason, maybe Dolan didn't trust Phil Jackson at that time"

Phil Jackson was fired by the Knicks within days of last year's draft, and Tom's inference is basically valid if you look at the time node.

"With that said, I really appreciate your support of the management," Dale said.

However, Tom did not respond, but instead changed the subject, "What do you think we should do if we sign Terek Evans back?" He's played well with the Grizzlies this season, and a lot of teams want him."

"It's good, but there's no place for him, he should want to seek a starting point guard role, we have Holiday and Rondo, he can only play off the bench" Dale shook his head helplessly.

"Oh? Will management continue to sign Rondo in the summer of the election? ”

Tom's question seemed a little casual, but Dale almost broke out in a cold sweat when he heard it, Tom said this, obviously not very satisfied with Rondo, it seems that after the confrontation with Zhang Feng, Rondo can no longer meet Tom's requirements.

"No, no, no, I mean, Rondo has a good chemistry with the team, especially with Cousins and Davis, and the stats show that when Rondo is on the floor, it's ......"

"I know what you mean, but chemistry can be cultivated, Evans has proven his quality, we have worked with him, there are certain advantages to talking to him about signing in the summer" Dell has not finished speaking, Tom directly intends to give the order.

"Uh...... Well, that's a good point, but we're afraid we won't be able to offer him a salary that's satisfactory."

Dale said this, not to disobey Tom's orders, the Pelicans' current roster has Holiday and Davis, two players with contracts of more than 100 million, plus the priority to renew Cousins in the summer, at least an average of 25 million a year, the three of them together account for $75 million, and then consider Evans' words, the salary space will definitely explode at that time.

However, Dale reminded Tom, and after he reacted, he immediately frowned, "I think it's time for the team to consider a trade, we can't delay Anthony's peak, and the team's playing style is not very reasonable, and it is not a long-term solution to keep being the main player."

With that, Tom got up and left the table, and Dale sat stupidly in place, his mind blank. He was frightened, but he didn't expect that the owner Tom suddenly changed his temperament today, and he actually took the initiative to ask the management to trade and change the team's playing style.

Who can be traded? Anthony Davis naturally can't move, Cousins is a free agent in the summer, and he will have to compete with the Lakers at that time, so he can only deal with Holiday Holiday's contract, but Holiday has a five-year contract of $131 million, and it will only be executed for one year after this season, and it is not easy to exchange it to anyone.

What's even more terrifying is that the owner Tom is clearly dissatisfied with the team's manager, but is Tom asking for a change in his style of play or just firing Kim Terry?

Dale pondered for a long time, sitting in the audience sweating like rain, he suddenly began to hate Zhang Feng in his heart.

Why hate? Because Zhang Feng came in, he played Rondo in his true form, which led to the failure of his plan to continue to sign Rondo in the summer, and Zhang Feng said "playing too long" when checking Cousins' injury, which caused owner Tom to be dissatisfied with Kim Terry, and finally brought him a lot of work.

Hate is hate, he is not a player, he can neither play to block Zhang Feng, nor steal Zhang Feng, he can only hold his hatred in his heart.

"Let's have a meeting with the management first," Dale made up his mind, got up to wipe the sweat from his forehead, and left. At this moment, his mobile phone rang, and when he took it out, it was actually a text message from the boss Tom.

The boss just left and texted, what can't be said in person? Unless it's important, but not suitable for public content.

It's over, it's over, it's all the, Dale could almost guess what Tom was going to say, and when he opened the text, he sat down again in shock.

"There's no hope for the season, make a bad deal, look for a new manager".

It's a short sentence, but the information content is very large, Tom directly announced that Dale must work overtime tonight, and he had to inform all departments of the team that he would communicate; Seeking a deal, he must come up with a plan as soon as possible, otherwise Tom will be dissatisfied; Finding a new head coach will have to be prepared to deal with the media and how to negotiate with Kim Terry about the subsequent salary payment.

Zhang Feng is like a storm in New Orleans, bringing so many things and so many troubles.

"Zhang Feng, I hate you!" Dale had 10,000 grass and mud horses in his heart.

Dale hates Zhang Feng, and the Pelicans players on the court also hate Zhang Feng, especially Rondo, who just finished the first quarter of the game, and he actually only got one assist.
