"All here?"

In the conference room, several shareholders were present, although not all of them were present, but the players rarely saw these so-called "big shots".

Old players such as Iguodala and others are not enough, the team bosses have also seen many times on various occasions, and at this time they met in the conference room, and even found a few who were quite familiar with each other, and stepped forward to say hello.

Chen Mu is also okay, as the future super core of the team, the team shareholders have all seen it.

And as the cash cow of the team and the "gold mine" of the future, the attitude of the team shareholders towards Chen Mu is much more enthusiastic than that of other players. At this time, as soon as Chen Mu entered the conference room, several shareholders even stood up and took the initiative to greet Chen Mu.

This kind of treatment is only available to the absolute core of the team.

For the other players, there are far fewer opportunities to see the big guys. Especially the rookies who have only entered the league in the past two years, their eyes are even darker, and they can't recognize any of the people in front of them.

“DAMN！ Sure enough, it's going to be traded......! ”

Willie Green shook his head slightly, the uneasiness in his heart became more and more intense, and when he looked up, he only felt that the shareholders in the conference room seemed to be deliberately avoiding him, and his eyes did not stay on him, and his eyes and attitude seemed to be treating a transparent person.

In the team, there is no place for me anymore......

The more Willie Green thought about it, the more depressed he felt, and he simply didn't greet any of the shareholders, Gu Zi found a corner and sat down, and then looked around. I saw what was in front of me, but I didn't see it in my head.

“…… Hi Willie. ”

Suddenly, a voice sounded beside Willy Green, and Willy Green responded casually, and he couldn't tell whose voice it was.

It doesn't seem to be the voice of a shareholder, it's a little unfamiliar.

Wait a minute...... When I entered the conference room just now, I seemed to see a stranger coming......

"Huh. What's wrong Willy? Not in the good mood? ”

The voice in his ears was still talking, and Willy Green was also startled, as if he was a little aware of what was going to be announced in today's emergency meeting.

"You are ......"

"Stefansky, Ed Stefansky, we seem to have met in New Jersey."

In front of Willy Green, a white man who looked quite honest was smiling at him and said in a friendly manner, "Just call me Ed." ”

"Stefansky ......?!!" Willy Green's exclamation caused the players in the room to be stunned, and then they all turned to look at this side. After seeing Stefansky, the face of those who recognized it immediately changed and began to whisper to the people around him, and those who didn't recognize him asked around about who this white fat man was.

"Uh...... Mr. And Willy Green didn't react until about five seconds after shouting in this voice, knowing that he was rude, and hurriedly added a "sir".

"Hehe, it's okay, just call me Ed, just call me Ed." Stefansky didn't care, smiled and nodded. Then he reached out and patted Willy Green on the shoulder, and turned back to the other end of the conference table.

Stefansky??

Ed Stefansky?!

Why did the general manager of the Nets suddenly come to Philadelphia?!!

Willie Green only felt his head buzz, almost exploding.

Although there is a hearing about it. The Nets' shareholders seem to have a lot of criticism about Stefansky's team-building strategy, believing that too much money is being spent on keeping the original roster competitive. But even if there is a slight disagreement in philosophy, it won't suddenly change owners in the middle of the season, right?

Stefansky is a veteran of the Nets. Management has been with the Nets since the last century. As a man with incredible connections in the league and a lot of personnel skills, Stefansky played a big role in the Nets' success at the beginning of the 21st century.

With his old partner Rod Thorne. Stefansky brought in a number of useful players for the Nets and built a roster with Jason Kidd at his peak, which was a brilliant success, reaching the Finals twice.

And after officially becoming the team manager in 2004, Stefansky has shown his extraordinary talent. In the 2004 playoffs, due to Kidd's injury, the Nets were defeated by the Pistons, who formed a defensive luxury lineup, and just when everyone thought that the Nets would make a comeback in the coming year, the progress of Martin, Jefferson and others, coupled with the team's recruitment, might create a new Eastern dynasty in the future, Stefansky made a surprising move.

Sent Martin away and removed Kidd's left arm. In return, it was just three draft picks.

Send Kittels away and destroy Kidd's right arm. The reward was a second-round pick and a little cash.

Although there are also reinforcements, when Kidd was injured at the beginning of the season and the basketball team played on the court, everyone was surprised to find that the most powerful starting lineup in the former Eastern Conference was Jefferson, who was still in the rookie period......

At that time, many Nets fans criticized Stefansky, believing that he single-handedly dismantled the super lineup that could dominate the East and ruined the possibility of the Nets winning the championship.

In the face of this questioning, Stefansky turned a deaf ear and did his own work, while the president of the team and Stefansky's old partner Rod Thorne came forward to support his friend, saying that no matter what decision Stefansky makes, it must be for the better development of the team.

What happened later may not be remembered and paid attention to by many people, but now that I think about it, the series of operations that Stefansky did in the summer of 2004 can be said to be "extremely scary".

Kenyon Martin, in the Nets' 4 years, the data has jumped one step after another, and has the potential of the playoff explosive attributes, after being sent to the Nuggets by Stefansky, the data began to dive sharply year after year.

And due to a knee injury, Martin, who had played an average of more than 70 games in the Nets in the past four years, saw his attendance plummet after coming to the Denver Plateau, and two years later he only played 2 games due to injuries, and the playoff statistics were also terrible. After being selected as an All-Star in the Nets from 2003 to 2004, Martin never reached the height of the All-Star level in his entire career, and became one of the injured Zhongyong.

The sending away of Kittels was even more surprising, the player known as a mosquito by fans has amazing one-handed stealing ability, a very good three-point crosshair, and at his peak he was an outside fast-hand defender similar to King Christie, a typical 3-and-D player, and also had certain strategy and assist attributes.

And few people noticed that Kittels was a top-10 rookie in the 1996 Golden Generation, and his talent was quite good.

Before being sent away by Stefansky, Kittels' stats for the Nets over the past few seasons were almost identical: about 13 points per game, 3.8 to 4 rebounds, 2.5 assists, and 1.7 steals.

Although the data is not very eye-catching, combined with his annual salary of about 800W, this data is still worthy of his salary stub.

Incidentally, Kittels' rookie season was actually quite impressive, averaging fourth-best points per game among the horrific rookies, and setting a record for the number of three-pointers made in his rookie season, which was later broken by Rudy Fernandez.

Even the basketball god Old Man Joe once said, "Only Kitels' defense can limit my three-point shot." Of course, Jordan, who does not use three-point shooting as a conventional means of scoring, said this sentence somewhat with some ridicule. But it also reflects how difficult Kittels' defense is.

is such a meritorious player who has played for the Nets for ten years, and Stefansky sent him away without blinking an eye, which made many people puzzled at the time.

However, the following year, Kittels, who played 82 games last season, made only 11 appearances for the Clippers and was plagued by serious injuries. The following year, Kittels simply didn't play for an entire season and left the NBA stage in disgrace.

Is Stefanski really just a brainless manager who will only follow the orders of the new owner to "save money" and tear the team into pieces?

Further on, the famous Carter deal, the UFO parachuted into New Jersey, and together with the comeback Kidd and Jefferson, they formed the most erotic outside basketball storm of the 21st century, which is a great testament to Stefansky's extraordinary skills.

Now, Stefansky's style of constantly hammering and patching the Nets' outside three-headed monster makes the Nets owners quite disdainful. In the middle of the season, Stefansky parted ways with the Nets and was targeted by Philadelphia shareholders to join the 76ers, who became Billikin's successor.

What changes will the arrival of Stefansky bring to the 76ers?

Will his extraordinary judgment, his ability to anticipate a player's future, and his unhesitating style when making trade options bring new development to the 76ers?

Philadelphia players, it's all looking forward to it.

"The main reason for bringing everyone here today is to welcome our team's new manager, Mr. Ed Stefansky!"

The deputy general manager of the 76ers made an opening remark, and the players and shareholders all found their seats to sit down, looking at Stefansky, who was standing in the corner of the conference table, waiting for his action.

"It's a pleasure, it's a pleasure to be with the 76ers, hello everyone, my name is Stefansky, some of you have been in contact with me before, and more of you are not familiar with me. In the future, you can call me Ed, and I hope I can bring something different to everyone. ”

Chen Mu and the others applauded, Stefansky nodded in gratitude, and then motioned to his assistant to distribute a stack of materials to everyone, and continued: "First of all, I want to announce a piece of news, although it sounds a little cruel, but Mr. Cheeks, according to the agreement made by Billy King when he left the team, you will also leave the team after this season. ”

In a word, except for Chen Mu and others, the rest of the players were stunned in place, unable to say a word for a long time. (To be continued......)

PS: Although there are frequent faint moves in the later stage, Thorne and Stefansky keel porridge are still more appreciative personally.
