Chapter 320: The Empty Boss Position

However, a lot of things can't be done exactly according to anyone's script. There is a good saying, life is unsatisfactory in ten **, so now Chen Jiyuan thinks very well, and he can join forces with Iguodala in three years, but no one knows whether this will be the case.

Perhaps, Iguodala and Chen Jiyuan will join forces in three years, or maybe they will join forces in five years, or even one year later, two years later, it is possible, the world is full of unknown changes. Officially because of this, the world will be more exciting.

There are also all kinds of situations in the free market, not to mention piles of small news, but also big news. Just the other day, the Washington Wizards signed a four-year, $50 million contract extension with their All-Star power forward Antoine Jamison.

The Washington Wizards' re-signing of Antoine Jamison was all in preparation for the renewal of Arenas. Because before that, Arenas turned down the 6 years that the Washington Wizards had prepared for Arenas1. With a $2.7 billion contract, Arenas later chose to take a pay cut in order not to put too much salary pressure on the team, but the premise was to ensure that the team was competitive. In order to keep the team competitive for the championship, it is clear that Antoine Jamison is indispensable. So, the conditions for Arenas' contract renewal can basically be interpreted as saying that you have to renew Antoine Jamison first, and then I'm renewing your contract. This is the aftermath of Arenas' actions.

After that, the Washington Wizards did just that, spending a lot of money to basically keep the roster from last season, and then the core players were all retained. With the return of Arenas, Washington Wizards fans will indeed be looking forward to a championship, as Arenas was at his peak before his injury, averaging 28 per game for the season. 4 points 6. 0 assists, 4. 6 rebounds. In the previous season, Arenas also averaged 29 per game. 3 points 6. 1 assist, 3. 5 rebounds. Such a superstar, let's ask, shouldn't expectations be too high for him? Is it too much to expect a championship?

After Chen Jiyuan knew Arenas' contract, he was thinking about it, if Arenas really signed that 6-year 1. With a contract of 2.7 billion US dollars, it should be able to set two records. One is the biggest contract in the NBA, and the other is the worst contract in the NBA.

Chen Jiyuan knows that Arenas's state after that is completely bad, after signing this contract, Arenas has been injured, and he has not succeeded in showing a wonderful game for the Washington people.

Arenas was very sad after signing his contract, and in those seasons in Washington, Arenas played only 32 games in the most appearances, and in those 32 games, Arenas played quite well, averaging 22 per game. 6 points 7. 2 assists, 4. 2 rebounds. This continued to give Washingtonians the hope they had waited, and finally the Washingtonians had their last despair, and finally, the Washington Wizards, who had lost their patience, traded Arenas to the Orlando Magic in the 2010-11 season.

However, even if Arenas signs the current contract, it is one of the worst contracts in the NBA. After all, such a large amount. However, I didn't expect Arenas to do this. That's exactly what I said. The world is unpredictable. Who would have thought that Gilbert Arenas, a strong regular season MVP contender who could compete with James in the East, would be ruined by injury and never got up again.

After learning about Arenas, Chen received a call from Latin, who said that Van Gundy had rejected the Knicks' invitation to be head coach.

The reason or something, Latin didn't say, but, Chen Jiyuan may be able to guess a little bit, although it is just a guess, but it is not unfounded, Van Gundy is a standard defensive head coach, and the players he likes are also defensive players, and Chen Jiyuan is a very obvious offensive player, and Chen Jiyuan seems to have not made much progress in offense since he entered the league, and the improvement in defense is not particularly large. It seems that Chen Jiyuan did not seem to have made any progress in the first year, such a player who should have improved the most, but did not improve, then it is equivalent to him regressing.

What's more, Chen Jiyuan is obviously the kind of super privileged player, on and off the court, Chen Jiyuan can be cared for by the Knicks management, and Jeff Van Gundy's concept is a group against the average defensive team, which is also the reason why Jeff Van Gundy is reluctant to go to the Knicks to coach, and it is obviously very difficult to smooth out Chen Jiyuan's "thorn".

Although Chen Jiyuan has long known that this will be the result, Chen Jiyuan still hopes that Jeff Van Gundy will agree to come to the Knicks to try, after all, the Knicks soared last season, a large group of superstars, such a team is still more attractive to the head coach. Because such a team is easy to produce results, there is no psychological pressure, and I don't want to have a previous life, at that time, no matter who holds the combination of Howard, Kobe, Gasol and Nash, their hearts will tremble. Such a combination is originally full of superstars, and it is really difficult for them to cooperate with each other, not to mention that Howard at that time did not want to go to the Lakers, and then after arriving at the Lakers, he had a strict discord with Kobe, whether it was his style of play or personality. Howard and Kobe Bryant are at odds. It can be said that Howard's departure is absolutely inseparable from Kobe.

I'm by no means a black, and I'm never Warcraft honey. I'm just saying something fair, when Howard was scolded by the fans in Los Angeles and "educated" by Kobe: "I'll teach you how to win a championship." One sentence exposed Kobe's character.

Kobe Bryant never wanted to hand over the Lakers' big spot. As long as he's on the Lakers for one day, he won't hand over this position. This is because Kobe Bryant's character is like this, you can't say that he is wrong with such a character, all that can be said is that Kobe and Howard don't get along anyway. That's why Howard will put the high contract offered by the Lakers and choose the Rockets whose contract is a little smaller. However, compared to the money, it is clear that it is more important for Howard to be able to play happily.

Speaking of the current Knicks, the current Knicks are relatively young guys in all positions, and they are all unlimited guys in the future, such a team, if there are results, it is very suitable for the head coach who wants to be famous. However, Jeff Van Gundy still turned down the Knicks' invitation, and only rejected the Knicks' general manager, Radin Dolan. Then there is no way, the Knicks can invite the No. 2 alternate coach in their minds - Tom Thibodeau.

For this head coach, Chen Jiyuan didn't want to miss it, Chen Jiyuan knew that if Tom Thibodeau also refused, then the Knicks' head coach candidate may have to invite Lionel Hollins. For Hollins, Chen Jiyuan really doesn't want to play under his guidance.
