In the slump of last season, Min often felt isolated.

The Los Angeles Clippers have more than 100 employees, team players, and more than 20 coaching staff, and none of them have reassured him.

If you don't feel at ease and cooperate with him, just forget it, come out and backstab him from time to time, so that his previous efforts are all wasted.

Fortunately, Min Congda is optimistic by nature, and he has carried everything by himself and faced the bleak status quo with an optimistic spirit.

After a happy November, seeing that the team was about to recover again, Min Congda suppressed the whole team with a big move.

Not only that, but he also gained an important assistant for his bad work, and he put Wolong on the road, Steve Cole!

After Kerr joined the Clippers, Min Congda carefully observed for a period of time and found that this person was simply his mouthpiece.

In training, we don't draw tactics, we don't design new training routines, and we just talk about "sharing", "more participation", and "sharing spirit" all day long.

The more Min Congda hears these words, the more familiar he becomes, isn't this the big fool of those who engage in the Internet sharing economy circle to cheat money and invest in the future?

When the time comes, they will deceive many investors and ordinary people enough, and in the end, they will leave a lot of chicken feathers when they run away with money.

However, Min Congda needs such a talent, and he values Cole more and more, and regards him as his right-hand man.

Kerr is not only a substitute for Min Congda in offensive tactical design, but also because he has experience working as a team manager.

Therefore, in terms of team transactions, signings and other matters, he can also share the pressure on Min Congda and give opinions and suggestions.

In mid-January, the Phoenix Suns, eager to improve their roster, wanted to close a trade with the Rockets, trading protected first-round pick and point guard Dragic for the Rockets' most improved player, Aaron Brooks.

However, after the deal was learned by Steve Kerr, he immediately suggested that Min congda trade Bledsoe for the Suns' chips.

Kerr believes Dragic is a point guard who is better suited to the pass-and-cut system and could also get a first-round pick.

Although Bledsoe has good talent, his role in the Clippers' passing system is a bit out of place.

The height is not enough, the vision is average, the assault ability is strong, the projection is relatively poor, and it is more suitable for the growth of the sun to be rebuilt.

Min Congda asked Cole if he wanted to help his old club Sun, and Cole replied cheerfully, "Yes." ”

The NBA is a personal net, where teams compete with each other and cooperate with each other.

Some teams will trade with each other a lot, and they will pick each other's wool, sometimes you will pick mine, sometimes I will pull yours.

For example, why did Angie get Kevin Garnett from the Timberwolves in '07?

It's not because Timberwolves operating chairman McHale is a Green Army celebrity and is willing to accept the Celtics' chips.

Assuming that the management leadership of the Timberwolves is a Lakers celebrity, then Garnett will definitely be sent to the Los Angeles Lakers to partner with Kobe.

The NBA in those years must have been a different story.

In the face of Cole's straightforwardness, Min Congda appreciated it very much, and he liked this kind of sophistication.

In his opinion, engaging in human sophistication in the business field is the only way to put it badly.

Today he traded the potential Bledsoe for the sake of the world, and tomorrow he got Gasol Jr. for the sake of the world.

The day after tomorrow for the sake of human sophistication to accept a certain garbage contract, isn't the Clippers' bad road getting more and more right?

Bledsoe is a potential stock, Min Congda has long looked at him unpleasantly.

After Curry had surgery on an injury, the Clippers would have lost five more games if it hadn't been for Bledsoe's outstanding performance in some games.

Bledsoe was originally wanted by the Clippers scouting team in the draft, and was taken away by the Thunder to blackmail the Clippers into trading.

Min Congda was not interested in Bledsoe, and the deal was completed mainly to send Gordon away.

I didn't expect this little thing to play very neatly, the little guard is talented and very hard, and he is like playing chicken blood all day long.

There is no lazy energy of Harden and Paul George at all, and Min Congda is very unhappy to watch.

You play like this every day, training and playing desperately, do you want to improve the results of the Clippers?

This kind of player who struggles all day long and rolls up is not in line with the Clippers' concept of sustainable development.

In order to get rid of the traditional model of other teams first and then struggle, Min Congda put forward a new type of team building idea of putting it in the way first and not struggling.

Of course, this idea is only known to him, and seeing that Cole can accurately find his own thinking, Min Congda is very satisfied.

He immediately agreed to the trade request and asked Olchea to do it.

Olser immediately consulted with the Suns' general manager and cut off the deal between the Suns and the Rockets.

And, through some bargaining, Olchea changed the Suns' first-round lottery protection pick to a first-round top-10 protection pick.

Because the chip given by the Rockets is Brooks, although Brooks was the most improved player last season, he has begun to regress visibly this season.

He averaged 19.6 points per game last season, but he can only score 11 points in the Rockets this season, and it is not a problem to win the fastest regression after winning the Most Improved Player Award.

And Brooks is small and obviously has no potential to dig into, so the chips given by the Suns are a first-round lotto protection.

With the strength and situation of the Suns this season, they will definitely not be able to enter the playoffs, so this first round is basically equivalent to not giving it.

But Bledsoe is different, a real potential stock, who has proven to be very impactful in the Clippers, and his defense is also good.

Coupled with the matchmaking of an old acquaintance like Cole, one Dragic is definitely not enough, so the first round was changed to a top-10 pick.

After getting Dragic, the Clippers have one more European player, and the former Yugoslav has two.

The Clippers' already lacking athleticism in the backcourt was further weakened, and the trade naturally received a lot of criticism.

The Los Angeles Times pointed out that "Smart has a tendency to be too obsessed with so-called team basketball, and he is reusing a lot of those 'team' players, but unlike FIBA basketball, the most important thing here is superstar, talent, and physical fitness, and team basketball is never the way out." ”

Obviously, the stubborn image of the old times still lingers in many people's minds.

Min Congda was of course very satisfied with such a report, and praised Cole.

He finally felt that he had found the right helper, and the two of them really had a good understanding and cooperated seamlessly!

The only person who was unhappy was Mike Dunleavy, not that he didn't think the trade was doing well.

Instead, the day after the deal was completed, he received a call from Rockets general manager Darryl Morey!

As soon as the phone was connected, Morey said, "I'm Morey ...... Team Rocket."

Dunleavy was furious and yelled into the phone: "I'm the head coach of the Clippers!" Not the general manager! I have no right of advice on trading! Don't TM come to me! ”

After saying that, Dunleavy hung up Morey's phone, and he was so angry that he couldn't do this job.

Morey was even more confused, old Deng, I wanted to ask you if you are interested in coming to the Rockets as head coach when your contract expires next season, why are you so angry with me?

Morey, who was scolded inexplicably, had no choice but to set his sights on other head coaches, the Clippers team, it's really weird, it's better not to deal with their people.

You robbed me of my deal, and the manager scolded me, who should I go to reason?
