Chapter 228: Trading Reed

The morning after winning the championship, Kong Bu was woken up by the phone ringing.

His phone ringing has never stopped since 8 o'clock in the morning.

All of them were acquaintances calling to congratulate Conbu on winning the championship. Of course, they might have some other purposes.

For example, if I want to ask Conbu whether he had the idea of ​​leaving Philadelphia, Conbu left Toronto without anyone noticing, but now he led Philadelphia to win the championship, and it is not impossible for him to run away again.

For example, ask Kongbu if he has any idea of ​​selling the champion players. After all, Kongbu has done such a thing.

Perhaps only Lao Feiqi, who has completely retired, is truly sincere congratulations to Kong Bu.

With the fourth championship, Kongbu's historical status has been improved to a higher level.

So far, the coach with the largest number of championships is Cardinal Auerbach, who has nine rings in his hand.

Then there is the Zen master. He currently holds five rings in his hand, three of the first Bull Dynasty and two of the incomplete Second Dynasty.

Then there were John Kudal, Conbu and Pat Riley, who all held four championship rings.

Riley coached the Lakers and won four championships in nine seasons.

Compared to Riley, Conbu is obviously much greater. He has won four championships in four seasons and led two poor teams to win the championship, which is much more difficult than Riley.

As for John Kudal, his four championships were also won by the Lakers, but the era is too old. The 1950s are almost fifty years away.

At that time, the NBA had just been established, and there were not many teams in total. Some teams might have been disbanded while playing. Therefore, later fans and experts did not recognize the value of Kudal's four championship rings.

It can be said that Kongbu, who holds four crowns, has become the third person in the NBA coaching industry, second only to Auerbach and Zen Master.

And Kongbu is still so young, it is certain that he will surpass Zen masters in the future, and it seems that it is not too difficult to surpass Auerbach.

Speaking of which, Zen master is actually the biggest victim of Kongbu's time travel.

Jordan just won one championship less, and the Zen master was in trouble. Under normal circumstances, he won 11 championships, which was more than Auerbach. Now he only had five, and he might not be able to win more championships in the future.

"Are you wrong? Are you here to make me a fool like this early in the morning?" Conbu received a call from Old Thomas.

He wanted to trade Houston for Ginobili.

"I just want to ask, just let it go if I don't agree."

"By the way, I've done the things you asked me to help you before."

"I tell you, that's the venue for the official rookie joint trial. Apart from Stern, I may be the only one who can book this venue."

"What do you want to rent a training ground? You're very suspicious."

During the Eastern Conference Finals, Thomas, the old man in Conbourt, helped rent a decent field in New York.

The purpose is of course for the next basketball training camp.

As for why I chose New York, it was entirely because New York was of high quality. Kongbu had to take the high-end training camp route and could not go to the countryside to do it.

Anyway, I'm idle during the offseason. I'm making some money. Who would think I have too much money?

Old Thomas is still very good at doing things, so he directly booked the venue for rookies to use for joint trial training, which is quite high-end.

"Okay, I'll go see the venue in a few days. Thank you, old man." Kong Bu said with a smile.

"Don't just say thank you, you have to show it?"

"For example, if you reveal the superstars you can choose from at the lowest pick this year, I don't ask for more, just give me two."

Old Thomas said shamelessly.

"I still have to express it? When Dazhi joined the Knicks, why didn't he see what you gave me?"

"And we are all so familiar with each other, what else do we need to express?" Kong Bu said angrily and hung up the phone directly.

...

After the championship parade three days later, Conbu called Reed to his office.

Next, Kong Bu's plan is to put Reed on the shelves quickly and get at least three first-round picks before the draft begins.

A point guard who was selected as an All-Star in a rookie season is priceless, and it is not a problem to get three first-round picks.

Of course, because this year there are three super talented high school centers and Gasol, a foreign center, the high pick is extremely precious. Even if Kong Bu gets three first-round picks, the pick will definitely not be high.

Fortunately, the players Conbu is interested in don't need to have too high picks, as long as he doesn't care about Gasol and singles Joe.

"Coach, if I guess correctly, will I be traded?"

Reed, who is usually very shy, hardly talks much in the team. After being called to Kong Bu's office today, he actually spoke up.

Reed asked this, which made Kongbu feel a little embarrassed.

Although it may not be a bad thing to be traded, especially the players traded by Kongbu, which can improve their team status and personal data, but not everyone wants to be traded.

Being traded means that you are not the best player in the team at the same position.

"Coach, you don't have to have any psychological burden."

"It is my greatest luck in my life to be able to fight under your hands for a year."

"I am very grateful to you. Even if you trade me, you are the one who is most grateful in my mind. Without you, I will either be out of the election or be deported by a certain team."

"You gave me a chance. No matter which team I go to, I don't think they can let me watch the water dispenser."

Reed spoke to himself, and he might not have said so much in a week.

His personality is a bit similar to Leonard later, and he can't beat a single point with only three sticks.

"Michael, being traded doesn't mean anything, in fact, I admire you very much."

"With your strength, you have the ability to stand alone now, and I look forward to your rise."

Kong Bu said reluctantly.

He really likes players with a personality like Reed. Even if he likes it, if Conbu doesn't want to play so hard in the playoffs next year, he can only use Reed to trade.

There is no way, except Yao Ming and Iverson, Reed has the highest transaction value.

I chatted with Reed for two hours, and maybe Reed had never said so much in his life.

After Reed left the office, Conbu asked Adelman Jr. to make the 76ers in Philadelphia will put Reed on the shelves.

The news immediately swept the entire league on the same day, causing a sensation.

here we go again!

After winning the championship, Kong Bu started to demolish the team again.

Reed, who he took out the deal this time, is really tempting.

He is young and powerful, and he is also a rookie. He does not occupy any salary space. The key is that he is reliable, and he is not the kind of player who likes to cause trouble.

A player doesn't mean that he is strong enough to win the favor of the team's management. No matter how strong his strength or talent is, he will be useless when he reaches the team.

Some teams that were short of points and guards began to take action one after another.

Larry Bird, the Pacers helmsman, called Conbu immediately.

"Kong, do you remember the agreement we made when we played the Eastern Conference semifinals?"

"I heard you are going to take action against Michael Reed. Why not do that? We will trade him with Reggie and give you another 20 pick in the first round of our hands."

"Don't get me wrong. It's not that Reggie is not as strong as Reid. We just don't want Reggie to end his career without a championship."

"We want him to retire with decent decently, just like Payton and Barkley."

Big Bird Bird gave a transaction quote straight to the point.

Unfortunately, this offer cannot impress Kongbu at all.

If it was the Raptors before, they had a strong family background at that time, and Bird Bird had said this, it would be impossible to help Reggie Miller.

But now the 76ers' family background is too thin, so Kong Bu cannot tolerate being a good person.

Miller is 36 years old and averaged about 18 points last season, with a shooting percentage of equal to Reed. Even if he gets a first-round pick, no sensible general manager can agree to this deal.

Besides, Miller's contract is not small. His current annual salary for the contract is 11 million, and the contract ended in 2003.

"Larry, I'm really sorry, I can't agree to this deal."

"Reggie is a great player and he deserves a decent career, but now is not the time, we need to trade some draft picks with Reed."

"Our lineup is still too bad, and we need to add some new players."

Kongbu explained patiently.

Bird Bird smiled bitterly. Why did this sound so wrong? A team that just won the championship actually said that its lineup was too bad?

What a hell!

However, he also knew that compared to the Raptors in the past two years, the 76ers lineup was indeed not good.

"Okay, Kong, then wait two years."
