Chapter 384 One Big Vote Comes

Chapter 384 A big ticket

To say that the most stupid team owner in NBA history, James Dolan recognized the second, absolutely no one would dare to recognize the first.

But to say the most stupid general manager in NBA history, there are many candidates.

However, on the timeline that Zhao Ke is familiar with, this is not a difficult multiple-choice question:

Before 2013, pick Isaiah Thomas:

After 2013, choose Billy King!

Isaiah Thomas' brilliant (nao) brilliant (can) record in the New York Knicks, needless to say, people on earth have known it for a long time!

Billy King hides it deeper, at least when he was in the Philadelphia 76ers, he was not scolded to death.

For example, pretending to have krypton eyes in the draft, and selected Thaddeus Young and Andre Iguodala, Kyle Korver, Louis Williams and Willie Green, these good guys!

However, in terms of trading operations, Billy King's IQ flawed fox tail was exposed.

He seems to be particularly fond of stars in their twilight years, such as trading Theo Ratliff for Dikembe Mutombo, getting Keith Van Horn, signing back Derek Coleman, trading for Chris Webber...

This special hobby was brought to the extreme when he was the president of basketball affairs of the Nets:

In the summer of 2013, Billy King learned that the Boston Celtics, who had been playing the league for several consecutive seasons, was about to start rebuilding. He was immediately elated and planned to trade Kevin Garnett, Paul Pierce and others to the Brooklyn Nets.

In fact, at that time, both Garnett and Pierce had passed their peak years, and the former was already 37 years old.

But even so, Billy King still very much hopes to bring them to Brooklyn. In his opinion, Garnett and Pierce can bring the Celtics championship temperament. They are paired with Deron Williams, Joe Johnson and Brook Lopez. This is a lineup that can beat the entire league.

Therefore, even though Danny Angie opened his mouth and wanted to take away the Nets' four draft picks at once, Billy King still generously agreed to the deal.

We know what happened later, the Nets failed to achieve the expected record, and the two veterans of the Celtics are aging rapidly. Not only that, but the Brooklyn Nets also lost their future.

In sharp contrast to this is the rise of the Celtics. Danny Ainge's wisdom reflects Billy King's stupidity. He also became the biggest laughing stock in the entire NBA a few years later.

In today's time and space, Billy King's performance with the Philadelphia 76ers is even worse:

First, after winning the championship, Zhao Ke, who later held four championship rings, two scoring champions, two blocked shots champions, and finals MVP, was swept away, causing Philadelphia to lose the best time for the rise of the dynasty.

Then he dismantled the championship team represented by Dikembe Mutombo and threw it out like garbage, without getting anything back.

Later, he got the old Chris Webber who couldn't get a chemical reaction with Iverson at all.

Later, Kyle Korver was let go for nothing, and Andre Iguodala was missed in the draft.

The operation is more and more brainless, and the team is getting weaker every year...

As early as the summer of 2001, Philadelphia fans hung up the big-character poster "Billy King Gets Out of Class", and insisted on petitioning every season...

However, the owner of the Philadelphia 76ers is not one person, but the Comcast Group.

For a behemoth like Comcast, it often takes countless meetings to make a decision, and the guys in the meeting often don't understand basketball.  …

Moreover, Billy King can go to defend in the meeting.

With his three-inch tongue, it is not too easy to fool these ball blinds!

The removal of Billy King has been delayed again and again. To this day, he still has to do his best in the Wachovia Center Arena.

Iverson has nothing to do, he can threaten the general manager:

"I, Iverson, are at odds with XX coaches and XX players. Without him, without me!"

Relying on his huge reputation in Philadelphia to force away XX coaches, or XX players.

But such a method is not suitable for the general manager.

Due to the particularity of Comcast, in the 76ers, the general manager is the largest in a certain period of time, and he can act arbitrarily.

If Iverson went to Billy King:

"Big Sabi, I have nothing to do with you!"

Then, Iverson will definitely be traded, and he will go to a team he least wants to go to.

Zhao Ke approached Iverson furtively, and said in a low voice:

"Alan, I have a way to force Billy King away, but you need to take a big risk!"

"any solution?"

"Alan, you announce your retirement!"

"Fart, I'm only 30 years old! What kind of Schett's solution is this?" Iverson scolded.

Zhao Ke made a calm gesture and explained:

"You didn't really retire, I mean, you forced Comcast's pigs to use retirement to help them make up their minds to get rid of Billy King!"

"I can't force you, Billy King was fine that season when I let you go." Iverson said, "You're too young!"

"I'm not like you, you're a Philadelphia hero!"

"Heroes are useless!"

"What if the 30-year-old Philly hero leads scoring and steals again?"

Zhao Ke let out a devilish smile.

"hiss……"

"You kid want to exhaust me to death?"

"The 30-year-old answer is too old to score and steal?" Zhao Ke continued to challenge Iverson.

"You fart..."

On November 2005, 11, Allen Iverson held a press conference in Philadelphia and officially announced that he would end his wonderful basketball career after this season.

At the press conference, Iverson brought his family to witness his declaration.

"I want to say that I will always be a member of the 76ers until I die. I thank all the fans who have always supported me."

"When Philly fans talk about basketball, they think of Dr. J and Iverson. That's enough for me."

"I have dedicated everything to basketball. Until now, my passion for basketball is still there, but the team no longer needs a high-paying Iverson."

"Choosing to retire is a mutually agreeable decision. They don't need to send me to another team because I don't want to go."

"Life is short, I will happily play the remaining 80 games, and in the remaining time, I will spend more time with my children and give them enough fatherly love."

Iverson did not mention Billy King, it seems that all this has nothing to do with the team, it is his own decision.

But attentive fans still heard something unusual from his words:

high salary?

Both happy?

To another team?

How could there be no tricks of that fat guy Billy King in it?

I have to say that Iverson is really an orator.
