Davidson looked at Milicic on the court, spent more than ten seconds to calm down his inner excitement, and then said to Dumas next to him: "Bring the kid over here, I want to talk to the kid. You and Larry
Come here, I want to solve this matter."
After saying that, Davidson left with the help of his assistant. After seeing the boss leave, everyone came over to congratulate Milicic. Billups knocked on Milicic's chest and said, "I told you a long time ago that you are a genius.
I've never seen a lottery pick before you who was put on the court and had no chance to play." Billups' care for Milicic is different from Rasheed's congeniality, but empathizes with his situation. Billups
Billups was born in the No. 3 draft pick, but he had never received the respect he deserved before. Everyone's evaluation of him was just a passable starting point guard. If he hadn't won the Finals MVP, Billups would have
It may continue to be silent. After all, there are so many guards in this league who average more than ten points per game. Moreover, he does not have any star quality, and he does not have the wonderful performance to reach the top five goals. Because of this
With his experience, Billups has never been difficult for any newcomers, and he does not have a big-name temperament.
Milicic felt beyond words to be recognized by everyone. The mountain of McDyess had been weighing on his chest for a long time, but after he met Gasol, Yao Ming, and Duncan, he could look back and see
, McDyess is not that terrible. His performance today also proved that he is a genuine second pick. It is not that Dumars and Carlisle have a problem with their vision, but that Brown suppressed him too fiercely.
Dumas came over and said to Milicic: "Young man, you just have to play like this, just like when I first saw you play."
"Thank you, thank you for your trust in me all the time, I..." Milicic also wanted to explain his thoughts.
How could Dumas not know Milicic's thoughts after being a manager for so many years, but this was not the place to talk, and he didn't want Milicic to cause any trouble if he made a slip of the tongue. He smiled and said: "Our boss Davidson wants to talk to Milicic."
Let’s talk, he’s not in good health lately, don’t keep him waiting.”
Still in Dumas's office, Davidson no longer felt angry, but looked at the big man with admiration and said: "Darko, this is the first time I have face-to-face communication with you. I'm older, and I can't help you."
I don’t have so much energy to manage. But since I bought this team in 1974, my vision has never missed it. I don’t want to talk nonsense anymore. I just want to ask, are you serious about your request for a trade?
I want a chance to play ball."
Upon hearing this, Larry Brown's expression changed. If Milicic was allowed to play, wouldn't it be a slap in the face? Not to mention that the relationship with Milicic would be difficult to handle in the future, just those who support him
Players will also be more inclined to Dumas' management.
Milicic smiled slightly and said: "I want to play ball, I want to become an All-Star. This is the goal I have been striving for so far. Anyone who stops me from achieving my goal is my enemy."
Davidson took a sip of water and nodded: "You will become an All-Star here. I will give you enough opportunities."
"No, it is not accidental that the conflict is like this today. If I stay here any longer, there will be more and more negative information. I don't want to be regarded as a troublemaker, but many people just can't get along with me.
, if you force me to stay, I will not renew the contract after it expires. My role in a championship team is dispensable. Even if you promise me the main position, I don’t want to be an outstanding role.
Player, I'm not Prince." Milicic actually rejected Davidson's promise.
At this time, Larry Brown also added fuel to the fire: "From the perspective of my responsibilities as a coach, the lineup I want to send is the strongest lineup of the team. I cannot allow others to destroy the chemical reaction of the team. If a person cannot integrate
As for my team, even if he is Jordan, I will not let him play. I know you have been talking about my use of Milicic, but I cannot allow players to make mistakes on the court, and he will play as a rookie.
Mistakes are bound to happen.”
Milicic was furious when he heard this, stood up and said: "Just because of your judgment of me, you will always keep me off the court. Do you know that because of your willfulness, you will ruin a player's life? You
Don't you feel a little guilty if you ruin someone's NBA star dream with a self-righteous judgment?"
The conversation eventually broke up. Davidson also understood the conflict between Milicic and Larry Brown. This conflict could not be resolved with a few words of his own. He decided to leave the two parties behind and go to the Duma.
Let's talk alone.
Dumas knew from Davidson's promise to Milicic that he had great expectations for Milicic. At only 18 years old, he is likely to be regarded by Davidson as an important reserve force for the team. Both Ben and Rashid have already
He is 30 years old. If Milicic, Prince and others can grow up quickly, it is possible to continue a Pistons dynasty with Billups and Hamilton. But Dumars has his own thoughts. Since winning the championship, many teams
I contacted Larry Brown privately. Boss Davidson knew these things. The reason why he indulged him was because of the strength of the Pistons team. Otherwise, this decisive old man would not be so forbearing. Brown was a little too presumptuous after winning the championship.
Many times, he doesn't even take himself seriously, and he still wants to be a coach like Sloan who almost controls the power of the team. In this case, you might as well help him and obey his wishes for once. If Milley is
If Cic gets rid of the old man, he will definitely have more resentment towards Larry Brown. If Brown wins the championship, it will be fine. If Brown fails to win the championship, then it is a certainty that he will leave. With a young player fighting for the power of the team, this
No matter how you calculate the score, it's not a loss. If Milicic plays better when he leaves, the more Davidson will recognize his vision, and the better he plays, the deeper Davidson's resentment towards Brown will be, so Milicic must be allowed to leave.
Let him go, and let him go in a glorious way, let him find a team that suits him and perform well, and he can save Milicic. If Milicic becomes famous in the future, he will only need to bring Brown to the team.
A group of people were kicked out, so naturally he still had to give himself a face before coming back here. Only by going in and out did he show his superb skills.
Larry Brown can no longer be allowed to stay. He dares to be so presumptuous after just one year of his five-year contract. If he really stays for five years, I, as the general manager of the team, will have to obey him.
Dumas had planned this move in his mind, but he also inadvertently gave Milicic an excellent opportunity.
