Chapter 479: Simple, Direct and Rough
No matter what the outside world is, Arthur Boling's global popularity has risen to a higher level, and people have paid more attention to this young Earl of England.
However, for the existing Nets management, the day at the end of April was undoubtedly at a loss and panic, because they had never seen their new boss so far...
Step on the pedal-
The Newark Nets, New Jersey, were wearing a black suit, and the tall and burly Bob Myers looked indifferent. Surrounded by a group of subordinates in suits and ties, they walked into the spacious and bright hall with their heads raised.
"Sir, please ask you..."
Originally, everyone in the hall looked at Bob and his group with confusion and thoughtful eyes. A blond hair, blue eyes, pretty facial features, and a front desk wearing a professional skirt, immediately smiled and asked.
"I am Bob Myers, the new general manager of the Nets. Please inform Mr. Rodthorne and all the team management. I'm waiting for them in the conference room and a meeting will be held in ten minutes!"
Myers said with a calm and sharp look to the already faded front desk, his tone was full of unquestionable. Then, surrounded by several former Nets management teams who were smiling and smiling, stride towards the elevator.
Looking at the backs of the group of people, everyone in the hall looked at each other with trepidation and worry, and gathered together and whispered. The beauty at the front desk who received the task was wearing high heels and trotting on the workbench with an anxious look on her face. She picked up the phone in a hurry and began to notify Mr. Rodthorne.
"...Well, I get it, thank you, Hannah."
In the general manager's office, Rodthorne, who had a look of loss and a little depressed in his heart, smiled bitterly, hung up the phone after saying that, and then sighed helplessly.
Everything came too suddenly, especially for him, the general manager.
It is no longer a secret that the Nets are going to be traded. I originally thought it would be the rich man from the Bear Country to take over, so Rhodesun also joined the opponent early and surrendered early, hoping to keep his throne. Even if he couldn't keep it, he hoped that he could be kicked out in a less embarrassing manner.
However, the situation suddenly changed, the rich man from Xiong Guo was kicked out of the game, and the British Earl took over.
To be honest, the management, who was originally ready to welcome the rich man from Xiong, was completely confused and lost his inch. While people were panicked, they were also full of resentment towards the original Nets boss, and they did not even reveal the news to them...
Rodthorne stood up from the boss's chair with some difficulty, walked heavily to the cloak mirror, spread his palms to gently smooth out the hair on his temples on his back, looked at himself in the mirror, smiled bitterly, tied the buttons of his suit, turned around and looked around the office with reluctance, and then walked out of the office without hesitation.
He knew that there was no stage for him to show!
Leaving the stage sadly!
The conference room was open, and Miles and the team he brought were sitting in the chief seat of the conference table. Miles looked indifferently as he walked in quickly, and nodded to him to greet the former Nets executives. Miles did not get up, but just smiled and pointed his hand at the empty seat.
"Please sit down, the meeting will begin soon."
The former executives did not seem to care about the arrogance of the new general manager Miles. They all nodded and smiled, then sat in the seat with their eyes and nose and hearts, keeping silent.
As more and more people arrived, the atmosphere in the conference room became more and more depressing.
"Sorry, I'm late-" Rodthorne walked into the conference room and saw the tall young Miles who was looking at his master's seat, and said calmly with a smile.
Myers stood up with a smile, ignored the others who followed him, and took two steps towards Rod Thorne who was walking towards him, shook hands and smiled, "Hello, Mr. Thorne, I am Bob Myers."
"Hello, Mr. Myers."
"Please sit—" Bob Myers smiled and pointed at the first seat on the right hand side of the main seat where he was sitting.
"Thank you." Rodthorne sat down at the lower seat without hesitation.
While walking to the main seat, Miles looked around sharply, raised his wrist, looked at the watch, and then said in a indifferent tone: "Close the door and have a meeting!"
No one asked life and death, and what should anyone else do if they had not arrived. Everyone remained silent. They knew that the people who were locked outside the door had been unemployed.
"I think you all should know that Mr. Arthur Bolin is the new boss of the Nets. Thank you for your trust and let me be the general manager of the Nets. Unfortunately, Mr. Thorne, thank you for everything you have done to the Nets in the past..."
When he heard the final decision Miles said, even Rhode Thorne, who had known that this would be the result, still felt a little uncomfortable and forced himself to squeeze out a hint of ugly bitter smile, and nodded at Miles.
“According to Mr. Bolin’s comprehensive considerations, the team will make changes and personnel adjustments will be made. The decision is as follows: Bob Myers will serve as general manager and director of operations will be…”
Bob Myers began to read out the personnel appointments in a cold tone. As the list continued to be released, many of the original management team in the conference room looked pale, shook their heads and sighed and laughed bitterly. Some people who had not read the name were nervous and uneasy.
No one expected that the new general manager would be so eager to act decisively and start to take the lead in the personnel operation regardless of the situation. Wouldn't he be afraid of putting the team into chaos?
Scared, of course!
But Miles had no choice. When the press conference ended, in the car after leaving the NBA headquarters building, the boss Mr. Bolin looked at him with sharp eyes and said to him in an unquestionable tone: "You only have two days. In two days, I will inspect my Nets. Remember, it's mine!"
To be honest, when he didn't become the general manager of the team, Miles was excited and excited, feeling that his fate had taken a new turn. However, now, he has all the pressure, especially in the face of overwhelming doubts, ridicule, and ridicule from the whole world. For the first time, he felt what it means to be overwhelmed with breathless pressure!
Young, inexperienced, the mad Earl's gamble, and the Nets, which welcomed the new boss, had already perished before it even started...
Stress and expectations come from both people themselves and from the outside world. Everyone hopes to achieve a balance in life, and put aside these things when they get home, but those remarks have been lingering in Miles' minds, and every minute is like this. It's difficult.
If these pressures from the outside are just mirages, then the Nets' team is just a bottom-skinned team that cannot be real.
To be honest, Miles was selected as the five teams with the worst NBA culture. The New Jersey Nets were definitely among them in the past, and both the team culture and the team building ideas were amazingly bad.
What else do you expect for a team that doesn’t even have the fighting spirit and pursues a bad game? You should know that blindly playing and waiting means that the team will build a building on the swamp. This is obviously an extremely dangerous thing.
Therefore, in addition to making good use of the three precious draft picks this year, the most important thing is to ask the team to pursue victory. Even if they don’t enter the playoffs in the end, they must create a culture of winning before the core grows up!
It is hard for anyone to imagine how young a team can go, but in Miles's view, at least their performances in the season should be amazing enough to make fans sigh at their great progress. At least in Miles' view, we must firmly draw a clear relationship with the bad team!
Fortunately, the Nets are not useless garbage. Not only has three draft picks this year, but more importantly, the team has a lot of salary space, which undoubtedly has the foundation for long-term prosperity for a strong team.
"...Boss, in this year's draft, we have two draft picks in the first round, and one draft pick in the second round, one of which was the draft pick in the first round was the draft pick on February 19, 2008. Jason Kidd traded for the Mavericks' 2010 draft pick.
There is also a Marcus Williams traded to win the Warriors' first-round draft pick in 2011 on July 22, 2008.
Four good signs in two years are enough for us to rebuild the team. Of course, young teams need enough time to grow..."
When Bob Myers held a reform meeting, the gifts that should be given away, and the ones that should be cut were cut, and the managers of several key departments were replaced by people from his team. After checking some important documents and information about the Nets, Myers rushed to the boss's mansion to conduct a systematic report.
Arthur was still very satisfied with Bob Myers being able to complete the task assigned to him so vigorously. He was not afraid of his subordinates being young, but most afraid of not having talent. As long as he has talent, he dared to gamble. Now the whole United States is saying that he is a British gambler with a lot of money and stupidity?
"Haha, I will give you plenty of time to grow. The championship is our goal, but it is not a force to force you to achieve it immediately. To be honest, I can't say that the future of the Nets is promising. After all, we do not have a core player with great potential in the true sense. However, I will wait patiently and wait for you to give me a big surprise." Even Arthur is a pseudo-fan, he knows the role of a super core on the team, such as the Black Mamba.
"Boss, we may not be able to obtain a core player with great potential!" Bob Miles' eyes were extremely bright, and he looked at his boss with a burning look, and said something that Arthur was very interested in.
"Tell me!" Although Arthur was very interested, he also prepared in advance. He didn't want to spend a lot of money to buy the All-Stars back.
"Boss, this is the thing. I just took over the Nets and received a call from the General Manager of the Golden State Warriors. In order to retain a 2011 Lotto protecting first-round draft pick that had already been traded to us, the Warriors were willing to give us two future second-round draft picks, and turn the draft pick that I owed us before to the 2012 Lotto protecting first-round draft pick, and postpone it for one year before giving it to us..."
"Hmm?" Arthur couldn't help frowning when he heard about the draft picks, and then asked, "Speak from the beginning, what's going on?"
