What stupid decisions have NBA management made?

Although basketball is the core value of NBA, the operation of the team is also very important. The reliability of management directly determines what height the team can reach! There has never been a shortage of smart management in NBA history, but there has never been a shortage of stupid operations! Next, I will sort out the three most stupid operations of the NBA team in the past 20 years. I wonder if you have it in your heart.

Timberwolves? Yin-yang contract?

Although Garnett has only one championship in his career, this does not hinder his historical position in the NBA. In fact, in the late 1990s, his Timberwolves once showed people the hope of rising, but in the end they were all ruined by the stupid operation of the management! There is no doubt that in what year was that stupid action? Yin-yang contract? Event!

The protagonist of this incident is the top scholar joe smith, who signed a basic salary with the Timberwolves for two consecutive years. In the first year, the league was closed and nobody took care of it. In the second year, it attracted people's attention. As a result, the league soon found out that he had signed a yin-yang contract with the Timberwolves, that is, to renew the contract with the basic salary first, and then the Timberwolves would sign a tens of millions of big contracts with him! After the contract was exposed, the NBA also executed the Timberwolves, and the fine was inevitable. In addition, the team will not get the first round draft pick in the next five years.

In fact, things like Timberwolves are not uncommon in the NBA, but no one but them will make this gray agreement into a contract and sign it! ? Yin-yang contract? Not stupid, stupid is that they were found out by the alliance so easily! If joe smith hadn't happened at that time, maybe Garnett wouldn't have gone to the Celtics to win the championship.

Thunder proudly walked away, Harden.

In the summer of 20 12, Thunder reached the finals under the leadership of Durant, Shao Wei and Harden. Although finally lost to the Heat, but also let people see the hope of the rise of the dynasty. However, in the offseason, they actually traded Harden to the Rockets. Since then, the Thunder has never entered the finals, which eventually led to the disintegration of the Thunder.

In fact, what Thunder was really stupid at the beginning was not meanness, but their arrogance that came from nowhere! In the negotiations with Harden, their differences are only 4 million, and the annual share is only 6.5438+0 million dollars, which is nothing for NBA teams and players. But Thunder only gave Harden an hour to think about it. There is no doubt that this decision is basically consistent with the marching order, so Harden can only leave with tears. If Thunder had put down his posture and had a heart-to-heart talk with Harden, maybe they would have a dynasty then!

The Nets bet their youth on tomorrow.

On 20 14, the Russian boss joined the Nets. At that time, he was eager to do something in the NBA. But obviously he didn't realize the sinister nature of the NBA, so he regarded Angie as a good friend. Under Anji's lobbying, the Nets decisively sent out a large number of draft picks, and then helped the Celtics eat veterans such as Garnett, Pierce and Terry.

Although the Nets seem to have formed a super-luxury lineup of Deron, joe johnson, Pierce, Lopez and Garnett, Garnett and others were old at that time and were no longer superstars! So after only one season, the luxury lineup of the Nets was dissolved, and they lost their draft pick, thus spending several extremely dark seasons. Someone once joked that the Nets' deal was obviously a bet on tomorrow with their youth, but in the end they even lost their underwear!
