The best teammates in the NBA

Chapter 270 Lively Free Market (9000 words chapter)

Chapter 270 Lively Free Market (9000 word chapter)
During the offseason of 2012, many players entered the free market. Of course, not only the players, but also the owners of some teams have also changed.

On June 6, former Grizzlies owner Michael Heisley agreed to sell the team to Pera for $11 million. rich man.

There is a high probability that the new boss will bring a new atmosphere to the team. Grizzlies fans are waiting for the final confirmation of the NBA. Everyone can't wait for the team to make a breakthrough. The Western Conference semifinals are not their end.

The Marouf family who is in charge of the king also seems to have plans to sell the team. Vivek Ranadive just became a minority shareholder of the Warriors in 2010. This seems to be very optimistic about the development prospects of the NBA.

The two sides are currently in communication, and it can be expected that it may only be a matter of time before the Kings change their boss.

The owner of the Bucks, Herb Kerr, also intends to sell the team, but he may really like Milwaukee. The condition of the sale is to keep the Bucks in Wisconsin and build a new arena.

Of course, the Clippers have attracted the most attention.

After ESPN disclosed the racially discriminatory recording, NBA Commissioner David Stern imposed a lifetime ban on Sterling, fined him $250 million, prohibited him from participating in all Clippers affairs, and prohibited him from watching NBA games live.

And as the finals ended, the players union continued to appeal, and the NBA asked Sterling to sell the team. Although the Clippers in Los Angeles have been suppressed by the Lakers.

However, due to the advantage of geographical location, once the team is sold to the outside world, there will definitely be no shortage of buyers.

Various sports media have speculated about who will take over the Clippers in the end, and Magic Johnson is very interested in this.

Oracle co-founder Larry Ellison also appeared to be asking for a price, and the tech mogul also seemed interested in owning a Los Angeles team.

Microsoft President Steve Ballmer is the most active. Mr. President is still struggling at Microsoft, preparing to fight against iPhone and Android. Buying a team seems to be more to relieve work pressure
But for everyone in the Thunder team, the most important thing to win the championship again is to enjoy the victory. The above news is just everyone's gossip.

On the morning of the 22nd, the Thunder officially returned to Oklahoma City. After getting off the plane, they were warmly welcomed by the fans. Seeing Li Ze get off the plane with two trophies, the crowd started screaming.

"It's a pity. It would be great if we could win the championship at home. The Oklahoma City fans are so enthusiastic!"

Durant took the trophy and waved enthusiastically to the fans. This guy has been complaining about the lack of atmosphere in the away game since he got off the plane. Compared with the championship, maybe Durant cares more about being noticed.

"Anyway, the day after tomorrow will be the championship parade, and it will be just as lively."

For Durant's complaints, Li Ze doesn't care. It's good to win the away game. Shrimp and pig's heart, Li Ze is extremely happy when he thinks of the depressed expressions of the Miami fans.

His happiness is based on the pain of others!
"We still have to participate in the Olympics this offseason, and we will have a training camp in early July. We have just finished the finals. I want to refuse the call."

Back on the bus, Guigui complained about this year's schedule immediately. This is also true. The impact of the shortened season is comprehensive. Otherwise, the finals will end in early June as usual, and the players will have more rest time.

"I will represent Spain in the Olympics, and I can meet Kayce in the group stage. I think the Olympics is pretty good. There are not many chances to beat Kayce."

As soon as Li Ze heard Ibaka's words, he was immediately depressed. The Olympic Chinese men's basketball team was divided into Group B, and the top 4 qualified. Group B included Spain, Australia, Brazil, Great Britain, and Russia.

The memory in his mind tells him that this year Spain is the runner-up and Russia is the third. These two teams are basically hopeless, and Australia is not good enough. If you want to enter the quarter-finals, you have to pinch the soft persimmons. The game between Britain and Brazil cannot be lost. .

"Haha, maybe we can meet Serge in the final this year, and I'm looking forward to the Olympic Games."

When Durant thought that it might be difficult for Li Ze to qualify for the group stage, he immediately burst into joy. In this year's Olympics, he is America's golden thigh, the real top card!
After winning the championship, according to the usual practice, the team still has to give back to the community. Throughout the afternoon, Li Ze followed the Thunder to carry out activities, and the city hall also sent people, which also shows that the connection between the team and the city is getting deeper and deeper.

After returning to his home in Ercheng at night, Li Ze let out a sigh of relief, his cheeks were sore from laughing during the day, it was not good because he was too popular, and there were too many people taking pictures.

I took a comfortable bath, first liked the girls on INS, and then found out on Twitter that Nike announced the sales data of LeBron James' sneakers in the first half of the year - 1.5 million dollars!

Li Ze curled his lips. It was the same last year. Whenever the Chosen One lost a game, Nike would stand up and show off his muscles. By the way, he would like to show his status as a big brother. But it has to be said that such sales are indeed enviable.

Since he practiced ball control last night, after taking a bath, Li Ze lay down on the bed early to rest. At the end of the season, he was completely relieved, and it was time to check the final results.

At midnight, in the dream training space, Li Ze was in a good mood when he saw the prompt on the control panel. When he came to the achievement room, he immediately saw the colorful badge floating in front of him, and stepped forward to touch it lightly:
Achievement Badge [NBA Championship]: (can be merged)

The glory of the champion, the player's overall attribute is increased by 1%, and the game experience is added.

Li Ze noticed that another championship badge was also flashing, and immediately pulled it in front of him. After searching for a long time, he didn't see the fusion prompt. He couldn't help scratching his head. combine.

The two badges merged into one, and at the same time, the light was brilliant. After the fusion was completed, a multicolored badge that was slightly larger than before appeared in front of Li Ze's eyes, and he quickly stepped forward and touched it lightly:
Achievement Badge [NBA Championship]: Level 2 (Fusionable)
The glory of the champion, the player's overall attribute is increased by 2.25%, and the game experience is added.

Basic attribute after fusion: champion gene - will have a keen intuition in the face of high-intensity defense.

Additional attributes after fusion:
Experience bonus: 2 times

Compared with the two separate badges, the attributes are 0.25% more. As for the basic attributes after fusion, it is quite metaphysical intuition.

Li Ze had a weird expression. He had a basketball instinct of course, but the specific effect of the badge may only be experienced after the Olympics. However, seeing that the most important experience bonus has been quadrupled, he couldn't help but smile.

However, when I checked the basic attributes, I found that the entire panel was blank. After integrating the badge, the attributes seemed to have been upgraded. If you want to check the specific values, you may have to wait until the energy drink is upgraded to A+.

After carefully checking the experience of all the badges again, Li Ze made a rough calculation. If everything goes well next season, a few key badges will be upgraded to purple.

Li Ze, who was in a good mood, decided to play the simulated Durant a few more times tonight. Thinking about the problems during the offseason, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart:
"Maybe there will be no chance to use the simulated Durant for training in the future. Thinking about it this way, I always feel like a blood loss!"

The 24th happened to be the weekend, and the Thunder's championship parade was held as scheduled, and Oklahoma City once again turned into a blue ocean.

Although the weather was a bit hot, the enthusiastic Oklahoma City fans didn't care about the impact of the temperature at all. They kept screaming excitedly throughout the process. Like last year's parade route, the end point was still in front of the city hall.

Nearly 5 fans participated in this year's parade, and the whole city cheered loudly for the team's second consecutive championship.

However, compared to last year, many fans this year are carrying a whiteboard with only one word "Stay" on it. Oklahoma City fans don't want the team to disintegrate during the offseason, so they took advantage of the parade to express their opinions.

Team owner Bennett was a little embarrassed. After all, he still failed to persuade shareholders to throw money.

There is no broadcast contract, no large advertising sponsorship, and the league's subsistence allowances even after winning two championships. The shareholders are very satisfied with this, spending money?nonexistent!

When Li Ze took the host's microphone and was about to thank the fans, the Oklahoma City fans shouted:
"Stay! Stay! Stay!"

Such a scene made the team's management feel a little bit embarrassed. Li Ze smiled slightly, and then said loudly:
"Thank you to the fans who are here today, you are the best, as I said before, the future belongs to us"

The simple speech failed to interrupt the cheers of the fans. Since the beginning of the season, the team has been shrouded in trading news. Everyone knows that Li Ze failed to reach an early contract renewal agreement with the team, so it is also a good idea to come to the scene. To put pressure on management.

Fortunately, during the subsequent parade, the Oklahoma City fans stopped messing around and cheered with the team. Presti already felt his head was getting bigger. If the trio really broke up, he felt that he would be scolded by the fans. For many years.

After the parade was completed, the players officially entered the holiday. Everyone said goodbye to each other and went back to their respective homes. After Durant returned home, agent Kleiman immediately sent a good news:

"Congratulations, Kevin! 1750 million US dollars in sneaker sales, all the additional terms between us and Nike have been activated!"

Durant didn't feel too excited when he heard this number. As a Twitter expert, he certainly saw the sales of LeBron James sneakers announced by Nike. Fraction.

"I said a long time ago that the style of sneakers must be updated. Even with the second generation of sneakers, Nike didn't care. Who else is ahead of me?"

Kleiman certainly knew what Durant was after. Seeing that the big employer was in a bad mood, he shrugged helplessly and said again:
"The second place is Kobe Bryant. Kobe's 2th-generation signature sneakers are selling very well in Asia. In the first half of the year, the sales in the United States were about 8 million. The third place is Carmelo Anthony. New York gave him It brought huge exposure and 2500 million sales."

When Durant heard the news, his mood became even more unbeautiful. Those in front of him were all defeated players!Even if his second-generation sneakers are a bit ugly, they shouldn't be ranked fourth!

"Shet! This offseason, we must have a good talk with Nike. I am Nike's top brand! By the way, how is the sales of Kayce's signature shoes?"

Seeing Durant's serious face, Kleiman could only smile wryly and said:

"Keds no longer relies on sneakers to make a profit. In the past few months, running shoes made of new materials have almost swept America. Counting the sales of the Flow 1 generation, it should be close to 8000 million. This is what I went to New York and checked. The news I got while chatting with Pullman."

"."

Jealousy separates hostage walls!

Durant was instantly possessed by lemon essence, and thinking that he had hardly won too many honors in the past two years, he started to think of lemons crazily.

Is there any reason?They are also all-star players, why is Li Ze so good?

Seeing Durant returning to the study without saying a word, Kleiman felt a little helpless. He has also been involved in the music industry, and he also helped Jay-Z's agency establish a sports department before.

For the operation of Big Machine Records, he only has envy in his heart. In America, the music industry has always been linked to sports. It's a pity that Durant's image is not good, otherwise he would have arranged for the big employer to release records to cut leeks.

Although Durant's mansion in Oklahoma City is equipped with a luxurious recording studio, Durant will sing a few songs when he is free, but manager Kleiman has to think of his employer's indescribable temperament and his voice beaten by an angel. Making money still depends on endorsements and sneakers.

"It's really an all-round gap. I hope Kevin can calm down."

In New York at the end of June, the weather is pleasant. After the championship parade, Li Ze flew here. There is a lot of work to do in this offseason.

The oversized duplex apartment at 155 Franklin Street has become Li Ze's temporary residence, but Li Ze feels a little heartbroken when he thinks that the money printing machine girl spent nearly 100 million dollars to renovate the decoration style of this house.

He doesn't have the mentality of an artist. Instead of spending a lot of money on renovations, it's better to buy a modern mansion directly. Fortunately, the money printing machine chick has really good taste, and it doesn't make the house nondescript. The overall style is still nostalgic.

Seeing that Li Ze didn't say much, Chapman also helped the money printing machine girl to say good things:

"Taylor just likes to fiddle with the house. Compared with some stars, this hobby is not too much. Buying a house in New York is considered an investment. Where do you want to play next season?"

Li Ze leaned on the sofa, heard the other party's question, and replied casually:
"Team option, even if it is really traded, there is not much room for us to choose. Even if Presti continues to squeeze the contract, I am not surprised. After all, the league's rookie contract itself is biased towards the team."

Chapman also did his homework, and then immediately expressed his prediction:
"In the past few years, we have also established a sports department. Let alone a multi-party transaction, I think it is a win-win situation. It is a pity that the Thunder do not seem to want to swallow a big contract, otherwise it would be easier to operate."

"Of course, I still hope that the Thunder can trade you to New York or Los Angeles. This will bring us huge exposure. The Lakers seem to be ready to make an offer. The situation with the Clippers is unclear."

"As for New York, the Nets have been throwing money away since they changed their Russian owners. Unfortunately, the NBA circle doesn't seem to like him very much, and the Knicks seem to be satisfied with the status quo. In New York, tickets have always been worry-free. Sell."

Seeing the other party's full of motivation, Li Ze immediately smiled slightly, and said jokingly:

"It seems that you are about to become a professional sports agent. Professional things are left to professional people. Don't worry too much about the transaction. As for the Lakers, it is impossible, unless the other party pays a lot of draft picks."

"Many of the Thunder's management came from the Spurs, and Presti stayed in the Spurs for a few years. You know, these two teams rarely do business, and the deal also depends on the relationship."

Chapman could only shrug his shoulders when he heard what Li Ze said. The team options are really helpless, but he will not let Li Ze go to Milwaukee to play. Benefit.

"By August, the dust will basically settle. We will also lobby some teams. American knife can always solve some problems. Let this matter be handed over to our new department. The new album in the past two months is the most important thing. the most important."

Li Ze followed suit and nodded, making money, not shivering, he still has to continue to "create". After the Olympics, he will devote himself to music. Thinking of the sales of sneakers in the first half of the year, Li Ze said with a smile:

"Let Rick take a break. The production capacity and factory issues will not be resolved in a short while. He almost spent the first half of the year on the plane."

"This is the power of American knife. We need to seize the opportunity and look at the data at the end of the year. Believe me, we really made a fortune this time!"

Li Ze almost laughed out loud when he saw Chapman's eyes shining with a beautiful knife. As long as he has enough money, 996 is not a problem.
On June 6, the 29 NBA Draft was held at Madison Square in New York.

This year's No. [-] pick was won by the New Orleans Hornets. After Chris Paul and David West left, the Hornets completely collapsed. In this case, it is imperative to compensate for a No. [-] pick of.

The NBA's picks are always given to teams that are on the verge of disintegration in time. Of course, it is declared to the outside world that this is God's will and it is just luck, but in fact, this is the balance of the league.

Draft picks have always been an important asset of the team. Amid the boos of envy and hatred from New York fans, the Hornets chose the son of Amelika without any suspense—Anthony Davis from the University of Kentucky.

There is nothing wrong with such a choice. After all, Anthony Davis led the University of Kentucky to the NCAA championship this year, averaging 4.65 blocks per game, ranking first in the United States, and 186 blocks in a single season created a new record for the University of Kentucky, the Southeastern Conference and the NCAA freshmen.

Basically, the son of America has won all the honors that can be obtained in college.
The memory in my mind actually does not have accurate draft information, but Li Ze saw on his mobile phone that the Trail Blazers chose Damian Lillard with the sixth overall pick, and the Warriors chose Harris with the seventh overall pick. -After Barnes, he couldn't help but smile knowingly.

Little Butterfly did not change much history, "cousin" still went to the Trail Blazers, and the Warriors also received important puzzle pieces.

"Take a picture! Kayce, don't look at your phone! Come and take a photo!"

Hearing Britney's chirping voice, Li Ze immediately put down his phone. Today is the day when the blond sweet girl graduated from UCLA. Seeing that she was wearing a blue master's uniform, Li Ze immediately went over to tease:
"I didn't expect that the scum in elementary school could get a master's degree. I'm so proud of you!"

"Someone didn't even have enough undergraduate credits!"

Which pot is not open and which pot is lifted, Li Ze patted the blonde sweet girl's butt covertly, causing the other party to give him a coquettish stare. Annie saw the small movements of the two, and immediately said helplessly:

"Pose! Are you kids? We still have a lot of places to take pictures, hurry up!"

"."

On campus, Li Ze can always meet his fans, but compared to other places, everyone just gossips and asks questions about the offseason, and doesn't gather around to ask for autographs and group photos.

After all, Li Ze took classes at school for three months last year, and UCLA students have gotten used to Li Ze's presence.

The three of them walked around the school and took a lot of photos. The blond sweet girl looked at the photos in the camera and nodded happily. Seeing Li Ze lying on the lawn like a salted fish, she asked gossipingly :
"Will I be able to see you in New York next year? Instead of living in the little singer's house, I'll give you my apartment in New York!"

Annie glanced at the blonde sweet girl, and said meaningfully:

"Why not in Los Angeles, Kayce's friends are here, and it is convenient to go back to school. We have discussed this issue a long time ago."

Seeing that the forest was about to catch fire, Li Ze quickly stood up, changed the subject and said:

"It's rare that everyone has time, so don't discuss these boring issues. After that, Alex will come to play for a few days. There is not much time in the three-person world!"

"Scumbag! I'll sleep with Annie tonight, don't think I don't know your little thoughts!"

The blond sweet girl immediately ran to Annie with a smile, hugged him, and looked at Li Ze demonstratively. Annie slapped off the salty pig's hand angrily, and immediately quarreled with the blond sweet girl.

Seeing the two beautiful girls fighting, Li Ze felt that this was the life he liked, but the thought of private messages from the blond sister gave him a headache. After all, he was still young, so he didn't want to be a father so early.
On July 7st, the 1-2012 season free agency officially started. In the afternoon, Presti had just signed the contract with the agent of the rookie Perry Jones, who was selected with the 2013th overall pick this year, and the staff immediately handed over the contract. Gave him a document.

Seeing the document in his hand, Presti was a little surprised, Los Angeles Lakers?
"A first-round pick in 2013, a second-round pick in 2013, a second-round pick in 2014, and a first-round pick in 2018. Except for Kobe, all Lakers players can negotiate. with honesty!"

Presti didn't expect the Lakers to send out 4 draft picks, two first rounds and two second rounds, but it's understandable after thinking about it. Kobe is 34 years old. If he wants to hit the championship next season, the team must To make reinforcements.

Obviously the Lakers didn't give up, Kobe was still chasing the sixth championship, but thinking of the boss Bennett's instructions, Presti put down the file after a little thought.

Four draft picks are not enough for any one of the trio, let alone the opponent who is chasing the 4-time MVP Li Ze. In the end, Presti just shook his head and said softly:
"Keep waiting, everyone knows what we want."

The staff in the office didn't make a sound, two consecutive championships!Everyone doesn't want to see the trio disintegrate, but it's a pity that the arms can't twist the thighs, and the shareholders are about to sell at the highest point.
It was already noon when Li Ze woke up at Annie's house. He felt that he had difficulty breathing, so he quickly pulled away the arm of the blond sweet girl, and then patted the black-haired Yujie on his body. He said in a hoarse voice:
"Wake up, girls! I have to pick up Alex this afternoon, and you don't want to go hungry!"

Perhaps it was because the two-day confrontation was too intense, the two hugged him in a daze and did not respond. They glanced at the time on the phone and had to use the method of lifting the quilt again:

"Ah! Don't eat, let me sleep for a while!"

Annie has come to her senses at this time, she doesn't want her friends to see her in a state of confusion, the three of them haven't seen each other for a long time, they've been too excited these two days, the black-haired Yujie thinks that if she continues like this, her life will definitely change got a mess
"Come on, Kayce! Help me make lunch."

When the three of them had lunch, the blond sweet girl chose the TV channel in a daze, but when she switched to ESPN, she immediately woke up a lot when she heard the voice from the TV:

"The Lakers will still be a strong contender for the championship next season, and we will bring the best players back to Los Angeles!"

Magic Johnson started to stand for the Lakers on ESPN's show, and Sterling was punished, which made the big guy in a good mood recently.

"Oh! Maggie, can you reveal the Lakers' plan? We all want to know who the Lakers are targeting."

Hearing the host's question, Magic Johnson showed his signature smile, and after a laugh, he immediately said:
"I believe you all know that there will be results soon, and I guarantee that everyone will be surprised!"

When the blond sweet girl saw the program on TV, she immediately turned to look at Li Ze who was eating pasta, and asked curiously:
"Kayce, are you going back to Los Angeles next season? In fact, the New York team is very good, and it happens that the record company is also in New York."

Before he finished speaking, he was knocked on the head by Li Ze. Seeing the other party's angry appearance, he said a little funny:
"Why do you think so much? The team option, I can't control the transaction, the rare vacation, I want to play for a few more days. After Alex comes, we rent a yacht and go directly to the sea for a few days."

"Don't talk about work, there are several beaches that are good! Hurry up and eat, and we can set off after receiving Alex in the afternoon."

Of course Annie likes Li Ze back in Los Angeles, so that she can spend more time together, she wanted to secretly step on Li Ze twice to express her encouragement, but ended up stepping on the feet of the blond sweet girl.
"Why step on me!"

"."

The birth of Twitter has given birth to many sports reporters who specialize in gossip. Of course, for some great reporters, their sources are very reliable.

Yahoo Sports' Woj Wogou immediately exposed the Lakers' trading chips. Of course, no one knew the source of the information, but 4 draft picks + any player other than Kobe offered Li Ze, which still surprised many people.

The most important thing is that after the news was exposed, the Thunder did not refute it. Although the deal failed to be reached, everyone understands the signal that Presti sent:
"If you want to trade, you have to add chips!"

The Thunder's attitude of being up for grabs has completely ignited the interest of all teams. Draft picks plus suitable contracts or role players can relieve salary pressure. This is what the Thunder needs.

On July 7, another New York media broke the news that the Nets were also making tentative offers:
Jordan Farmar, Anthony Morrow, John Petro, Deshaun Stevenson, Jordan Williams, 2013 first-round pick and 2015 second-round pick for Li Ze.
It's just that as soon as this news came out, fans of the Nets scolded the team for being stingy, and quickly gave away all the draft picks in their hands. Everyone in the team can choose whatever they want. As long as Li Ze comes to New York, the season tickets will be booked directly!

Obviously, the big football market is eager for Li Ze to join. The youngest MVP in history is too easy to use. Whether it is selling tickets or strength, it is bloody money to exchange half of the team for Li Ze.

However, TNT just likes to make things happen, and immediately followed the market to sing against it, questioning the value of Li Ze's transaction:
"Youth represents potential, but youth also represents risk. In September, Kayce will be 9 years old. Of course, I will not question his strength, but if the team pays too much for draft picks, it will definitely There are huge risks."

O'Neill expressed his point of view in a low tone facing the camera, and Charles Barkley immediately followed suit and said:

"I mean, if, guys! If Kayce had an injury like Derrick Rose, would he still have the strength he has now? What's more, we don't know Kayce's ability to lead the team alone. Durant is definitely underestimated. Already!"

"Once there is an injury or the team's performance is not satisfactory, then after losing a large number of draft picks, the team will completely enter a dark period."

Kenny Smith watched the two of them open their eyes and talk nonsense, a little funny in his heart, but on the surface he said seriously:

"No one can refuse the youngest MVP in history. What's more, Kayce's contract next season is very small. The team that wants to pursue the championship will not care about the issue of draft picks. After getting Kayce, they can continue to strengthen. is the most important."

Host Ernie Johnson continued to fan the flames:

"Even if it is to dismantle the Thunder, I believe that the respective teams will make a move. The average age of the core players is 23, which is terrible. If this team is not dismantled, maybe they will dominate the next ten years."

"."

Most of the sports media are also waiting for the results of the offseason trade. The headlines are reserved for Li Ze. As long as the deal is completed, the interview will be arranged directly. This should be the biggest melon of this offseason. The fans will definitely Will buy it!
On Reddit, the Thunder team has been blown up. The team has won two consecutive championships, and they are going to send away their core players. Is this too much?
"Fack! Bennett lied to us. The management is destroying a dynastic team. After losing Kayce, can we still reach the finals?"

"The team should pay the luxury tax, we have a fantasy lineup, we can dominate the league for the next ten years."

"Kayce belongs to Los Angeles, and UCLA fans support him to go home."

"Shet! Stop pretending here, you're a Lakers fan, Fuck, Kayce won't go to the Lakers, we won't trade with the Lakers, Kayce will stay in Oklahoma City."

"Cleveland welcomes Kayce, he will form the most gorgeous backcourt in the league with Kyrie Irving, beat LeBron James by the way, save Cleveland sports, he will be the hero here!"

"Minnesota needs Kayce, Kevin Love is his college teammate, they are good brothers, come to the Timberwolves to play real brother basketball."

"Why not choose the Warriors, Klay Thompson is Kayce's childhood friend, we can send away the glass man Stephen Curry, let Kayce be the core of the team, God! This is wonderful, I believe the management will do it Make wise decisions."

"Fack squid! Get off the Thunder board!"

Until July 7th, all kinds of tentative trade information kept breaking out. MVP was still too attractive, and all teams slowed down the pace of trade.

There are a lot of players in the free market this year. If Li Ze is traded and enjoys the last year of the child labor contract, and then makes targeted reinforcements, he may be able to reach the finals. No one wants to miss this opportunity.

What's more, Russell Westbrook and Kevin Durant are also worth trading. Although the contract is a bit big, for some teams, paying some ball picks in exchange for All-Star players is also a good deal .

Among the turbulent news, the NBA announced that Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer won the battle for the ownership of the Los Angeles Clippers with a $20 billion offer.

Clippers owner Sterling's wife Shirley and 29 other owners have agreed to the offer, and the team is about to change ownership, pending final confirmation from the league.

The offer of 20 billion US dollars also created the highest record for the acquisition of an NBA team!
As soon as this news came out, the small number of Clippers fans rejoiced, and the team finally changed to a rich owner!And this old man is not ordinary rich, but very rich
56-year-old Steve Ballmer is indeed a person who likes basketball, and this can be regarded as a fan of the Seattle SuperSonics.

Perhaps he was unhappy at Microsoft, and the board of directors thought he was too old, so Ballmer already had some thoughts of retirement. As for buying the Clippers, it can be regarded as finding some fun in his future life.

During an interview in Los Angeles, the passionate Microsoft president yelled at the fans in front of the camera:

"I will start a new era for the Clippers, and at the same time, I promise the Clippers fans that I will bring the best players in the league back to the team!"

Steve Ballmer faced the camera and began to give a passionate speech. He seemed to have regained the feeling of selling computers in the past, and the surrounding reporters were stunned.

Good guy, the colorful pancake has already been drawn before the team is in hand, the president of Microsoft does have two brushes.
On July 7th, Amelia's media reporters have completely celebrated the Chinese New Year, and the news is endless!And Li Ze also returned to the Celestial Dynasty on this day:
"Olympic time is up, it's time to experience the new badge!"
