Chen Jie also knew that he was just a player, and no matter how high his position in the team was, he could not intervene in the team's operations. The reason why he gave Skiles such a suggestion was just to make the team better.
The final decision must be made jointly by Paxson and Scales.
Seeing that Scales issued an eviction order, Chen Jie was not disappointed and walked out of Scales' office after saying goodbye.
As for Scales, looking at Chen Jie's back, his eyes were deep in thought.
How sure are Jie's words? Many of the suggestions he gave before seemed to be very successful. So this time, are his suggestions still correct?
Kwame Brown…
Scales murmured the name.
Suddenly, as if he remembered something, Skiles sat up suddenly, turned on his computer, and searched the website for videos of Kwame Brown's previous games.
He entered the NBA as a high school student. When he was in high school, he had some connections with Eddy Curry and Tyson Chandler. At that time, the three of them were equally famous in the United States, and together they were known as "the best."
High School Students".
Moreover, he entered the league in the same year as Chandler and Eddy Curry, and he was also the top pick of that generation.
Judging from their fame and status, it seems that the Bulls really made a profit by trading Eddy Curry and Kwame Brown.
However, Skiles frowned when he thought of Kwame Brown's well-known performance in his first season with the Wizards.
The pick does not represent the strength. No matter how high the pick is, you can't produce good statistics. You can't contribute to the team. That's useless.
This is a real basketball game. It is not a manager game where you buy whoever is famous to build a dynasty team.
Skiles found a video of Kwame Brown's first season with the Wizards, and it can be seen that Kwame Brown's performance was very positive at the beginning.
This was a game against the Bucks. At that time, the Wizards and Bucks were directly competing for the playoffs. Jordan brought the ball to the frontcourt, and Kwame Brown immediately pulled out and gave Jordan a pick-and-roll. After three consecutive pick-and-rolls, Jordan all
The mid-range shot hit.
But on the fourth ball, Kwame Brown went down after a pick-and-roll. He thought Jordan was going to shoot, but Jordan chose to pass the ball. The unsuspecting Kwame Brown did not receive the pass from His Majesty the Flyer, and the Wizards made a mistake.
Seeing this, Scales clicked pause.
On this ball, Kwame Brown had no problem with his movement and the pass was very timely. The only flaw was his lack of concentration.
But to be honest. It seems that Kwame Brown cannot be blamed for this ball. After all, Jordan shot the first three balls. Who would have thought that he would choose to pass the ball for the fourth ball?
And this ball looks like Jordan has a lot of space.
Kwame Brown was already preparing to rush for the rebound, and Jordan just passed the ball. Objectively speaking, at least half of the responsibility for this ball lies with Jordan.
However, it seems that Skiles continued to watch. Sure enough, Skiles guessed well. Kwame Brown just made such a small mistake and was immediately yelled at by Jordan.
It can be seen that Kwame Brown's face is very confused and depressed.
After a timeout, Kwame Brown was replaced, his face full of anxiety and uneasiness.
A high school student, a rookie, made a mistake in such a game and was immediately reprimanded by the team boss, and then lost the opportunity.
Perhaps, as Jie said, his confidence was worn away bit by bit.
But, what about his strength?
Scales continues to watch Kwame Brown's video.
This season, Kwame Brown switched from the Wizards to the Lakers. Therefore, Kwame Brown's years with the Wizards are still very long. It depends on his strength and his performance with the Wizards.
Skiles found one of Kwame Brown's best games.
In this game, Kwame Brown scored 31 points, which was also the best performance of his career.
Of these 31 points, more than half were mid-range shots, and there were many tip-ins after grabbing offensive rebounds.
It can be seen that Chen Jie is right. Kwame Brown has rebounding ability and mid-range shooting ability. His back is still a bit rough, but in the Bulls, his back is not needed much. The Bulls
Nowadays, the team is still mainly focused on the outside. Chen Jie is the core of the offense. He certainly doesn't have much time to attack with the ball inside. So as long as he has the ability to rebound and mid-range shooting, he is a qualified inside player.
So, what about defense?
This is what Skiles values most, and it is also Eddy Curry's shortest point.
Scales found another game in which Kwame Brown grabbed 19 rebounds.
After watching it, Skiles came to the conclusion that his shot-blocking ability was very poor and he often couldn't find the opportunity, which also caused him to commit a lot of fouls. Of course, what Chen Jie said was also true. His strength
It's really good. Even if he faces O'Neal, he can probably stand up to him.
However, his awareness of protecting defensive rebounds is not strong enough. This must be improved.
After watching these videos, it was already around 6:30 in the evening, and the game was about to start.
Scales finally turned off the computer.
By now, he already has a clear understanding of Kwame Brown.
The summary he gave was this: He is a player with the potential to become a star. Chen Jie did not lie. But he needs the right person and the right environment to guide him.
His speed is very fast, his strength is very good, his flexibility is not bad, and his offensive and defensive abilities can be improved. The biggest problem is his psychology.
But, is the Bulls really the right environment for him?
Can I really carve him out on my own?
Skiles thought so in his mind.
Speaking of which, Kwame Brown and Eddy Curry are somewhat similar. They both have the ability, but cannot show it due to psychological reasons.
But Eddy Curry made two mistakes, he was too lazy to do it, he didn't have professionalism, and he didn't work hard enough.
Kwame Brown, on the other hand, lacks confidence and is worried about his situation, so he occasionally gets distracted and gets scared.
Now, Skiles is very sure that the Bulls' environment is not suitable for Eddy Curry, and he cannot guide Eddy Curry.
So, what about Kwame Brown?
Can you really do it? Can the Bulls really do it?
Trading Eddy Curry for Kwame Brown is like a gamble.
The bet paid off. In the next ten years, as long as the Bulls maintain this lineup, they will be able to compete in the finals and even the championship every year.
But the bet was lost...
Skiles suddenly clenched his fists. If he lost, he would lose. Anyway, Eddy Curry was not in the plan. At worst, he would go to the draft to find an insider, or else he would just let Tyson switch to the fifth position and the whole team would fight.
boom!
At this moment, Scales made a decision in his heart.
Without delay, he took out his cell phone and dialed Paxson.
"Scott, aren't you supposed to be in Denver? What, what's going on? Is there any problem with the team?" Paxson smiled after picking up the phone.
"John, there's something. I want to ask you, do you have any ideas for this winter trading period?" Scales got straight to the point.
"I don't have any idea. Isn't the team very good now? Does it still need surgery?" John Paxson (the previous Paxson was a mistake, hereby corrected) said.
"Surgery is not necessary, but fine-tuning is still possible. I have a suggestion here, do you want to listen to it?" Scales said with a smile.
"What advice?" Paxson asked.
"We need a good inside man. I think Kwame Brown from Los Angeles is good. Is there any way you can get it for me?" Skiles said in a joking tone.
"God, that parallel import? Scott, are you sure today isn't April Fools' Day?" Paxson was obviously surprised.
You know, Kwame Brown just signed a three-year contract of more than 20 million this year. This is not a small amount, and the price to get him is not small. The most important thing is that he is a parallel import!
"I don't. John, I tell you very seriously, our team needs Kwame. He is not a parallel import. I firmly believe that when he arrives in Chicago, he will definitely perform at an All-Star level! Believe me, John!" Skell
At this moment, Si is just like Chen Jie just now. (To be continued...)
