Chapter 161 Leaving the Grizzlies(1/2)

Since you want to make a deal, you should say hello to Stewart. Although Jiang Dongbing holds the power to trade the Grizzlies, Stewart is the team's general manager after all, and it will definitely be unreasonable if he doesn't say hello.

"Jiang, this..." Stewart looked embarrassed, not knowing how to answer Jiang Dongbing.

Because the boss Hasley is very determined, that is, he will never sell Ginobili. To be precise, it is impossible to give it to the Spurs for free. If the Spurs can take out decent chips, this transaction is not impossible.

But everyone knows that the Spurs have no bargaining chips. Even if they really want to sell Ginobili, Hesley tends to sell them to other teams and make a profit from them. It is best to help alleviate the Grizzlies' salary pressure.

Stewart didn't know how to speak to Jiang Dongbing for a moment.

"Jing, should you consider this matter again?" Stewart said softly.

Jiang Dongbing shook his head, "There is nothing to consider. This is something that has been decided by the Spurs long ago. If I regret it now, where will I put my face? How can I survive in this league in the future?"

"this……"

"Why don't you go and discuss with Mr. Hasley? Cough, I can't settle this matter." Stewart coughed to relieve his embarrassment.

Jiang Dongbing frowned and asked Hasley to discuss it. Could it be that Hasley wants to interfere in the team's operations?

Generally speaking, NBA bosses rarely participate in team operations. After all, they are all laymen. Even some bosses who like basketball are not enough to compare with professionals.

"What does it mean? Didn't Hesley also say that I was in charge of the team's trading power? Did he regret it?" Jiang Dongbing asked dissatisfied.

Stewart didn't know how to answer this question, so the trading power was naturally Jiang Dongbing, but Hesley certainly didn't want to do this kind of obvious free deal.

Seeing Stewart's face in a dilemma, Jiang Dongbing stopped pestering Stewart and called Haysley directly.

"Mr. Haysley, I believe Stewart has told you about the deal between Manu Ginobili?" Jiang Dongbing asked straight to the point.

"Yes, Stewart did tell me, but I don't agree with the deal. Ginger, you should know that the Spurs didn't help us. Ron was banned in an astonishing number of games."

"I can't agree to this deal for free." Hesley on the other end of the phone did not beat around the bush? Hesley directly expressed his attitude.

"Mr. Haysley, when McCau had the Grizzlies? I had absolute rights in trading? You bought the Grizzlies and gave me the same promise."

"What? Is this promise not counting now?" Jiang Dongbing said with a grudge.

Jiang Dongbing naturally knew that the deal was losing money? But this was his promise to others, not just the Spurs? Even if it was other teams? Jiang Dongbing would definitely not break his promise as long as he made a promise.

"Jing, sorry, I can't agree to this deal." Hesley reiterated his attitude.

Jiang Dongbing continued to ask, "Is there no possibility at all?"

"No..." Heisley just said no? Jiang Dongbing didn't wait for him to continue talking? He hung up the phone directly.

...

Stewart was a little scared. Although he didn't know what the boss Heisley on the other end of the phone said, looking at Jiang Dongbing's expression, you can tell that Jiang Dongbing is extremely unhappy now.

After two minutes of silence, Jiang Dongbing made an extremely important decision.

"Stuart? It's time to say goodbye."

When Stewart heard this, he was stunned. It was time to say goodbye? What does it mean? Jiang Dongbing is about to run away? The thing he was most worried about finally happened.

In an instant, Stewart wanted to kneel down and hug Jiang Dongbing's thighs, trying to keep him and not leave.

Because once Jiang Dongbing leaves, his own abilities may allow the Grizzlies to be strong for a year or two, and wait for a long time? The Grizzlies' overall strength is likely to plummet? Not to mention winning the championship at that time? Maybe they can't even enter the Western Conference Finals.

"Jiang, don't joke, this joke is not funny. You and the Grizzlies still have a contract..." Stewart forced a smile.

Jiang Dongbing waved his hand, "I'm not a player, I'm just an employee of the Grizzlies. Their nature is no different from the cleaners who cleaned the training ground."

"There are no team options and no player options. I can leave at any time. Of course, you can also fire my squid at any time."

Stewart's expression changed drastically. He knew that Jiang Dongbing was going to make a decision to leave the Grizzlies.

As Jiang Dongbing said, the constraints of the head coach contract are not very high, but generally the team fires coaches, and few head coaches voluntarily resign, let alone Jiang Dongbing, who has not even found a next home, and he will resign if he has a disagreement.

"Jiang, think about it again. We are only one championship left before we build a dynasty." Stewart begged.

"There is nothing to consider. I have decided to go there. As for the dynasty, to be honest, Stewart, do you think I can't build a dynasty if I go to other teams? I'm not an old coach who is about to retire. I have more time!"

"Okay, I will hold a press conference in the afternoon to announce this news."

"Stuart, I have been working with you in the past two years. I hope I will have opportunities to cooperate in the future, but it won't be in the Grizzlies."

After saying that, Jiang Dongbing turned around and left.

Stewart stood there with a tangled expression, sighing in his heart. The cooperation with Jiang Dongbing in the past two years has been really pleasant. He doesn't have to worry about anything. He earned two championships in vain and won the league's best manager of the year once.

I just don’t know if there is any chance to cooperate with Jiang Dongbing in the future...

Jiang Dongbing's intention to leave was decided. With Stewart's understanding of Jiang Dongbing, he knew very well that this matter was almost a foregone conclusion and he was absolutely unable to change it.

Instead of doing this, it is better to use brain cells to think about what the grizzly bears should do next.

After Jiang Dongbing left, the impact on the Grizzlies will not be very big in the short term, but the Grizzlies must prepare for the future and prepare for the future.

If a person has no long-term thinking, he will have immediate worries. This is what Jiang Dongbing said to Stewart before. Stewart deeply agrees with it. Now he is about to start thinking about it.

But after thinking for a while, Stewart didn't know how to start.

If you want to maintain the strength of a team leader, you either pass the draft or trade.

But Stewart knew very well that he did not have the talent show vision like Jiang Dongbing. To be precise, no one in this world could compete with Jiang Dongbing in draft. In addition, Jiang Dongbing said that the next year's talent show is the Little New Year, so naturally there is no need to count on it.

As for the transaction, Stewart is even more helpless. The Grizzlies now have too many powerful players, so how should they trade? He doesn't know whether the players he trades are valuable.

If the players traded are fairly good, the Grizzlies' strength is likely to decline instead of rising.

...

At two o'clock in the afternoon, Jiang Dongbing contacted some local Vancouver media. Since he was sure to leave the Grizzlies, he naturally wanted to tell the world.

In fact, Jiang Dongbing is extremely dissatisfied with the Grizzlies now, or to be precise, he is extremely dissatisfied with Haysley.

Who is the Grizzlies able to be today? It’s the one who depends on yourself!

Not to mention that the Grizzlies' two championships have all their credit, they must have at least 50%, and the remaining 50% are players they get through draft or trade.

Jiang Dong's military achievements are indispensable for the Grizzlies to be able to do today.

But now, just because of Ginobili's affairs, the team boss doesn't care about his feelings at all.

After refusing this deal, Jiang Dongbing's face will be put on, and how can he stay in this alliance? So it is not surprising that Jiang Dongbing makes the decision to leave the Grizzlies in anger.

This is like those companies. The sales champion in the company accounts for 80% of the company's sales. As a result, if you want to reimburse the travel expenses for the spread, the boss will not reimburse it. It would be strange if the sales champion does not leave. Anyway, some of them are waiting for him.

...

In the afternoon, in the conference room of a local hotel in Vancouver, Jiang Dongbing's press conference officially began.

The reporters were actually confused and didn't understand that the Grizzlies had just won the championship, and Jiang Dongbing came to hold a press conference. Could it be that the Grizzlies had any big moves?

Based on these reporters' understanding of the Grizzlies, Jiang Dongbing may announce the team's maximum salary renewal of Jermaine O'Neal? After all, O's performance this season is definitely worth a maximum salary contract.

As the top four power forward in the league, if you can't get the maximum salary, this is too unreasonable.

...

"Guys, today, there is only one thing to announce, it's very important," said Jiang Dongbing.

The reporter raised his hand and asked: "Coach Jiang, what you said is the important thing is that the Grizzlies want to renew Jermaine O'Neal for a maximum salary?"

Unexpectedly, Jiang Dongbing shook his head, "No, in fact, these things have nothing to do with me."

"What I want to announce is that I have officially resigned from the Grizzlies and are now a free agent."

The reporters in the audience were silent. What a joke? Resignation? How is this possible? You know, Jiang Dongbing just led the Grizzlies to win the second championship trophy!

They really don’t understand why Jiang Dongbing resigned, because this matter really makes sense!

Zen Master Jackson resigned as soon as possible after the Bulls won the championship, but after all, there is a reason for him. All his core players left the team, and his head coach almost became a bare commander, so it was no point to stay.

If you stay, with such a lineup, the Zen master will definitely not be able to achieve any decent record, which may become a stain on his coaching career. Naturally, the tall, rich and handsome Zen master will not allow such a thing to happen.

But now Jiang Dongbing's situation is completely different from that of Zen masters. The Grizzlies' lineup has not changed at all, and they only have one championship left before building a dynasty. There is no reason for Jiang Dongbing to leave at this point in time.

Even if I have to leave, the reporters in the audience feel that they will have to wait until they win the championship next year. Wouldn’t it be better to leave the team with the bishop of the dynasty?

"Coach Jiang, is there something wrong with you and the Grizzlies management or players?" the reporter asked curiously.

Jiang Dongbing shook his head and denied, "There is no problem between me and the players, and there is no problem. As for the team's management, there is no problem either."

The reporters were stunned. If that's what Jiang Dongbing meant is that there was a problem with the team boss?

Just as I was about to ask if there was a friction with my boss Hesley, Jiang Dongbing had already announced the end of the press conference. The entire press conference lasted only less than ten minutes in total.

The reporters were all local reporters in Vancouver, so they were naturally Grizzlies fans. They were reluctant to leave when they learned that Jiang Dongbing was leaving. However, they had to leave because they received such explosive news from Jiang Dongbing and hurried to hurry up the manuscript.

It was useless to wait until the evening. Just an hour later, the news of Jiang Dongbing resigning from the Grizzlies had spread throughout the league!

Jackson took David directly to Jiang Dongbing's residence. The phone number they called Jiang Dongbing was not connected.

"Coach Jiang, is it true that you resigned from the Grizzlies?" Jackson was anxious, and David on the side looked anxious.

Jiang Dongbing nodded sadly. If you really want to say that there is something to be reluctant to leave the Grizzly Bear, it is definitely not the dynasty that is about to succeed, but the old disciples in front of you.

In the blink of an eye, Jackson and David have been with him for many years, and now they are about to separate, Jiang Dongbing is very reluctant to leave.

Jackson was anxious, "What? Coach, why did you leave the Grizzlies?"

"Is it Stewart who is asking you for trouble? Is he going to rebel?"
