The price of 4 million U.S. dollars also broke the current record high for an NBA team to change hands.
A year ago, the historic Boston Celtics changed hands for only 3.6 million.
After Savo took over the team, he soon chatted with the general manager of the team, Brian Colangelo, the son of Jerry Colangelo, the spokesperson of the Ugly National Basketball Association, about making the team bigger and stronger. plan.
When new bosses enter the team, they are generally very ambitious.
After all, there are still three fires for a new official to take office.
Savo bought the team because he wanted to make some money.Secondly, I also want to realize my childhood dream of being a champion.
As an expert in banking and real estate, Robert Savo analyzed the current situation in a very pragmatic way:
"We don't have big stars, Marbury is unpopular, and Penny Hardaway is basically useless now. He can't even play half of the games a year. In this way, the team's record is not good, and the team can't sell the ball. ticket.
If you can't sell tickets, the team's performance is not good, and you have to lose money.
When the team loses money, the boss will find someone like me to take advantage of it, take off his gloves and find out, and then run away.
Do you think I'm being taken advantage of?Colangelo. "
Colangelo, the worker, of course shook his head: "No, no, how can you be taken advantage of, Mr. Sa? You are obviously very smart if you can spend 4 million to buy the sun!"
"Yeah, I'm not being taken for a ride. I'm in Phoenix for three things. Make money, make money, and fuck...championship!
How can you make money without championships and achievements?right?Just like doing business, if you don't make some achievements, will the father of the funder invest in you?
Fans are our patrons and fathers, if we want to enjoy the knife music in their pockets, we will get results. "
Colangelo gave a thumbs up: "What the boss said is very true, don't say anything, I will find you the best players in the league tomorrow!"
Colangelo was so excited, he thought he had met a kryptonite tycoon like Paul Allen.
What the hell, if you can really have endless checks to spend, then you can't take off!
I can finally experience the thrill of playing a full-level account!
As a result, Savo stopped Colangelo at this time:
"Hey, young people are impulsive. To make money, you have to learn to control costs. Like Cuban and Dolan, spending a lot of money to build a lineup will increase the cost, and you will earn less. You want Find me all the best players in the league, and I can't spend [-] million a year?"
Colangelo's mood fell to the bottom in an instant. After talking for a long time, aren't you still a jerk!
"This money, we have to spend it wisely. Let's put it this way, I see a lot of big fish in the free agent market this year. Look, can you catch me two more. Stars are the guarantee of box office and performance. The Arizona team has to have stars, and our fans have to watch stars and watch others cough.
But for football stars, you have to look for those who are popular and not particularly expensive.And ah, you have to find something topical like that.I think Li Ang is not bad, he is the center of public opinion wherever he goes, and he is sitting on the Chinese market.What's more, he is still highly entertaining in playing.This summer, your task is to rebuild the team.
Get me Marbury and Hardaway, get me Leon, and make the team better! "
Savo is a person who is superstitious about short-term investment. He summons stars, builds lineups, and wins championships.
If not, withdraw.
Fast investment, fast return.
And Marbury and Hardaway have proved that they can't succeed in Phoenix.
Therefore, Savo now asks Colangelo to create a new lineup.
With the order of the new boss, Colangelo also brainstormed countless days and nights this summer.
In this way, the Suns became the most amazing team in the summer of 2003!
They took both Leon and O'Neal in free agency, and got Nash from the Mavericks.
These three people were all carefully selected by Colangelo.
It can be said that all of them meet the requirements of the new boss Savo.
Although Li Ang has a maximum salary, because he has only been in the league for less than five years, according to the rules of the labor agreement, the maximum salary he signed is the lowest price among the maximum salary, which only accounts for 25% of the salary cap.
For example, with the same maximum salary, Li Ang's starting salary in the first year is only 1096 million.O'Neal's starting salary in the first year was as high as 1315 million.
This is the difference between top salary and top salary.
The maximum salary is only a broad concept, but the specific amount is very different.
Winning Li Ang satisfies the three conditions of being good-looking, topical and relatively cheap.
After choosing Nash, he was actually trying to save money.After all, Nash's contract this year is only more than 500 million.After the contract expires next year, Colangelo expects to be able to renew his contract with 800 million a year.
Moreover, Nash's popularity in Phoenix is not bad, which can drive a wave of box office revenue.
It is cheap and topical, and the conditions are very suitable.
Only Jermaine O'Neill came here in a serious way.
But Savo can't afford to support such a top-salary player.With a star, there is always a need.
Even the owner of the Spurs who sells tractors has two max-salary players, and you only have one max-salary player. When the time comes, you don’t feel like eating at the table, so you can only go to the child’s table.
Savo looked at the three stars that Colangelo got after a series of tricks, and nodded with satisfaction: "No need to change, I like this batch!"
Colangelo asked again: "Then the introduction of role players..."
"Role players? I already have people with stars, how many more role players do I need? Role players can just make do with what they have in the team."
"Uh..." Colangelo was convinced too, he really deserves to be in the banking industry.
You are an expert in financial management.
It's really time to save money.
Facing the stars, you punch hard, and facing the role players, you are obsequious.
But it doesn't matter, the Suns still have Joe Jordan and I will. Johnson.
He's also a good role player.
Who cares, pass to Joe to cast the natural value!
There is also the Brazilian Lightning Barbosa who was just picked in this year's draft. That small guard should also be a good attacker.
The most urgent task now is to find a few cheap forward substitutes and inside substitutes.
But these are not big problems. As long as the team's main framework is in place, other things can be easily solved.
I don't know if the Phoenix Suns will succeed next season, but the enthusiasm is indeed full.
After a crazy night, the Suns, Savo, Colangelo, Nash, O'Neal and Leon swiped almost all the sports channels across the Ugly.
Savo saw that the whole of the United States was reporting on the sun, and he felt very happy.
Do you understand traffic cashing?After my operation, the Suns are now as hot as teams like the Lakers and Spurs!
Otherwise, it is said that people made a fortune at the age of 25? In 2003, I started cashing out with traffic.
Everyone is discussing the prospects of the Suns next season, and some people are calling Dumars this wave of Shi Lezhi.
Let go of FMVP?There is no such precedent in history!
Dumas is about to be scolded for being autistic, do you think I'm thinking about it! ?
A head coach on the left is madly fighting here, and the boss on the right is so fucking unwilling to pay.
what can I do?I can't even breathe right now!
Larry Brown also comforted Dumars: "It's okay, when I get Rashid's deal done, we are a championship team again, you have to believe in my ability as a famous basketball coach! Even the Basketball Association You all believe in me and let me lead the team to the Olympics, but you still don't believe me?"
Although Leon's situation is better than he imagined, Brown doesn't think the Suns are a threat next season.
O'Neal, to put it bluntly, has no playoff test.Even though he has been in the league for six years, even though he has played many times in the playoffs, but when he played in the playoffs during the Trail Blazers, his playing time was in single digits, and he was a bastard.
And because he was too young when he joined the league, Xiao Ao is just a 25-year-old recruit now.In Brown's eyes, Ao's ability to fight tough battles is not as good as Rasheed's.When he was in Portland that year, didn't Ao just stand behind Rasheed like a minion.
If it weren't for his youth, who would be willing to give him a maximum salary.
Not to mention Nash, in the eyes of most people, the current Nash is a waste snack.
After being beaten by Fisher in the playoffs, he couldn't take care of himself. Many people ridiculed him as the weakest All-Star of the year.
But if Van Nash gets it right, he won't be sold like this this summer.
The Sun's exchange of Marion for Nash was also considered a loss-making deal, a wave of divine assists for the Mavericks.
After all, Marion averaged 21.2 points + 9.5 rebounds + 2.3 steals and 1.2 blocks per game last season. The statistics are luxurious.
Although the playoffs were a mess, it seemed as if Nash would not play in the playoffs.
People wonder whether Colangelo and Cuban have a kind of deal where you know my depth and I know your length.
Marion's wave of assists directly turned the Mavericks into a galaxy battleship.
Before that, the Mavericks had acquired Jamison, who averaged 22 points per game in the Mavericks last season, through a trade.Now here comes Marion again, man, the Mavericks start is a bit scary.
Nowitzki averaged 25.1 points per game, Finley averaged 19.3 points per game, Jamison averaged 22 points per game, and Marion averaged 21.2 points per game.
Mavericks fans ridiculed that this is one person playing one quarter, and the Mavericks can also win 82 consecutive games in the regular season.
Compared with the Mavericks, the Suns' lineup seems less scary.
A waste snack + an inexperienced young man + a false superstar dunk.
Who are you scaring!
Brown laughed, Li Ang, Li Ang, it seems that you are destined to be unable to stop Lao Tzu.
Of course, there are also those who think that solar energy will become a big deal.For example, Sir Charles Buckley, Leon's loyal fan.
"Leon champion!"
In the evening TNT program, Barkley yelled in the studio.
Kenny Smith and Ernie Johnson both had smirks on their faces. You were mistaken for the Pistons championship last time. This time the Suns championship must be overturned!
"If the Suns can't win the championship... No, this is too harsh. If the Suns can reach the Western Conference Finals, I'm willing to take off my pants to explain the game!" Kenny Smith crazily told Fliggy Digging.
The West will be a veritable monster house next season.
Lakers F4, Mavericks Galacticos, Spurs Kidd Duncan...
Don't forget that there are also two western powerhouses, the Timberwolves and the Kings. These two teams have the toughest and most gorgeous power forwards in the league.
Really, let alone the Suns championship, it is difficult for the Suns to enter the Western Conference Finals.
This is a stubble for everyone in the playoffs.
Sure enough, Fliggy jumped whenever he saw a pit.
"Okay, then let's gamble! If the Suns don't make it to the Western Conference Finals, I'll take off my pants and comment the entire game!"
When you bet against Barkley, Barkley's IQ is 0.
Do you know why Danzi likes Barkley?Because betting with Barkley can win with eyes closed.
It's like a draft.
However, after leaving the bet, Barkley's IQ has recovered.
He continued to add: "I know that the Suns still have a lot of problems. Their bench lineup is still unclear, and more importantly, the head coach has not been found yet, and they have not found a team that can connect Nash, Leon and Jermaine. Someone. If the Suns can find that role, believe me, they're going to take off."
Kenny Smith and Ernie Johnson both laughed and said, "You don't mean to recommend yourself, do you?"
Sir Ba waved his hand, knowing that he didn't have that ability.
If Barkley were to become the head coach, he might say to the players: "Hit him with your butt, wouldn't you have a chance to score if you pushed him away? Why can't you do such a simple thing!? "
Besides, being a head coach is so tiring.On TNT, tell jokes about shit and fart every day, and when talking about cross talk, by the way, you can make millions a year, isn't it good?
Barkley's words are indeed reasonable. The choice of the Suns' head coach will determine how they will perform next season.
Li Ang has always been curious about the candidate for the head coach, after all, a good team cannot live without a good head coach.
Just as Westerners cannot live without Jerusalem, the 3D Zone cannot live without Tifa.
Seeing this, Li Ang also turned off the TV and prepared to go out.
"Where are you going?" Carolina stretched on the sofa.
"Go say goodbye to old friends."
Detroit at night is dangerous. Under normal circumstances, Li Ang would not choose to run out at night.
But today, Li Ang was uncharacteristically, and drove to the Palace of Auburn Hills Stadium in the middle of the night.
Although the season is over, the stadium has not been shut down.
Seeing Li Ang coming, the security guard in the parking lot hurried up to him.
