NBA: Start with 20 billion, buy the Knicks

So if Yao, as a player himself, listens to Jiang Chao, will he go further?

This is actually something that the Dayao team has been struggling with recently. In fact, he has all the honors. Maybe his only purpose of joining the Knicks is to touch the floor of the conference finals?

But the current Knicks obviously can't satisfy this point, right? ?

So they still decided to talk with the Rockets until the end of the contract period. It is not Dayao's style to exchange and trade with other teams during the non-free agent period.

Until the next second, Jiang Chao sent the two recording files.

After Dayao listened to it, Jiang Chao half-truthfully said:

"Even if you are not traded by the Rockets, your next contract with the Rockets will definitely be a veteran's basic salary, and it is impossible to give you 500 million a year."

This is to let Dayao have a sense of crisis in advance. The Chinese people have always had the idea of ​​being prepared for danger in times of peace. This year is not the year of Dayao’s contract, but next year will be. As long as Dayao does not have outstanding data support, the next contract cannot be topped again. Salary, almost [-] years old, the career of a center has not been so long.

After listening to the recording, Dayao really believed it, because McGrady also called him to persuade him to leave together and start anew with a weak team, but he didn't listen, believing that Morey would not betray them.

However, the general manager of the Rockets said clearly in the recording that both McGrady and Yao can be traded, McGrady made an offer, and he still wanted Curry, which made Dayao shaken.

He is not stupid, McGrady is much more important than him in the hearts of Americans. The four major shooting guards, white horse spears, and local McGrady fans are much more than him. His Reebok sneakers sell for less than one percent of McGrady's sneakers.

And this recording clearly let Dayao know Morey's thoughts and another important thing.

That's what Jiang Chao said as a joke when he pressed the price. He said that Alexander would definitely sell the team after Dayao left. If you make money and run away, you can also make money.

This statement actually happened in later generations. After Yao Mai left, Alexander found that the profit was not enough, so he decisively sold the team at the peak, and once the cash cow was gone, his money withdrew.

This is so ingenious. Everyone knows that Alexander is a stingy boss. If he can't make money from the Chinese market and the McGrady market, he may really withdraw his capital.

And once the emperor and courtiers, Morey can't guarantee whether the next boss will like him!

Is it okay to separate the boss and the general manager?

This recording has completely moved Dayao, and with Jiang Chao's help to him earlier, he directly asked:

"What do I need to do? Boss Jiang?"

Jiang Chao said solemnly:

"Call Morey and take the initiative to apply for a deal."

2 Chapter Twenty: Yao Ming + Howard, Jiang Chao's Ultimate Blueprint!

Originally, Dayao was very happy to hear that Curry Harden and the others wanted him to come. Even if he paid nothing this season, the Knicks players would agree, which made his impression of the Knicks players better.

In his career, Knicks players are almost all the kind who play rough and reckless and don't pass the ball. Jiang Chao is improving his impression of the Knicks team step by step.

However, Jiang Chao's last sentence of voluntary application for a deal surprised him and his manager Zhang Mingji.

This is too "rebellious". You must know that in this era, if the team actively applies for a trade, it means betrayal.

But in fact, Jiang Chao has seen too much in later generations, and he didn't let Dayao go the easiest and easiest way to leave for later generations, that is, publicly expressing his desire to trade on Twitter without notifying the management, and even appointing his next home.

That is to say, Xiao Hua is weak, and David Stern really won't be used to it.

What Jiang Chao asked Dayao to do was much gentler, that is, he expressed a peaceful breakup to the Rockets in private, and put him on the price during the contract period, and he didn't want to affect the future of other young people in the Rockets.

But this is a nice way of saying it. In the commercial league of the nba, only the management can say they want to break up with you. If your players propose to break up, that will only lead to fire in the management's backyard.

Jiang Chao knew that Morey still wanted to hold on to this cash cow. Now that Dayao suddenly proposed that he wanted to be traded, it was no wonder he didn't panic.

In fact, Jiang Chao can be more ruthless. Like most players in the previous life, he said that he was injured and had an indefinite truce. If the team wanted a record, they couldn't afford it.

But Jiang Chao will not really let Dayao do this, it is too greedy, and it will also affect Dayao's image in his career.

"Let's keep things simple. Both you and McGrady are injured. The value of the transaction has plummeted in the market. I will settle everything with a normal transaction."

In fact, before making this call, Jiang Chao, Mustache, Sean Marks and others had thought of countless ways to trade, and they would even pull three parties to complete the deal.

Although he intended to take advantage of your illness to kill you, Yao Maiquan directly let you go, but he gave you a lot of things. If you really want to take advantage of the deal, it is still not good, because the positive value assets of the Knicks are these rookies and draft picks. Right, these are things that the boss can't touch by name.

That's why Yao Ming heard it. If he really wanted to trade him, the Knicks would have to bleed.

In the end, it depends on Dayao's own attitude. If Yao himself doesn't want to come, it won't work if the Knicks force a trade. Now that the Rockets are so close to the Chinese market, they won't make such a decision.

Then Dayao also expressed his opinion, which was something he had never told Morey.

That is, the Rockets team doctor said that if he continued to play like this, his legs would be useless after playing for another season at most, but the medical team in New York said that as long as he controlled his playing time, he could play for at least 1-3 years after he recovered. And the burden on the knees after retirement will not be too great.

This was beyond Jiang Chao's expectations. Was the doctor who co-authored the later generations tricked Dayao into wanting him to retire early so that both parties could be better off?

Later generations Dayao announced his retirement after the end of this long-term contract with the maximum salary. At that time, many fans were reluctant to give up. He was only 30 years old and had no honors. However, Dayao himself said that he did not want to spend the rest of his life in a wheelchair. However, his short career ended.

Looking at it now, it's extremely frightening. Maybe this is Morey's excuse for not wanting to give Dayao another tens of millions of annual salary?

We must know that if Dayao does not choose to retire at the end of the contract next year, he will definitely be worth more than 1000 million annual salary, and there will be a lot of teams competing. If the Rockets do not renew the contract or match the offer at this time, they will definitely be sprayed to death by Chinese fans.

Who doesn't want a center who averages 20+10 per game?

And Morey asked the medical team to say this, because everyone loves his body, okay?

Anyway, I gave the Rockets sophistication, and promised you to retire your jersey or something. Just don’t take up my salary space to hinder the reconstruction? ? ?

Is this kid so thoughtful?

But Jiang Chao didn't bother to find out if it was true. He also sent the New York medical team. He believed in the diagnosis here. What he has to do now is to help Dayao out of the sea of ​​suffering.

Gonghuo also arched, and he helped Dayao if he could.

Jiang Chao's ultimate goal is not to disgust Mogou, this kind of dog is tortured by wicked people, he just wants Dayao's career to have a perfect ending, just like what he said in the call to Dayao at the beginning, even if Fight for the championship one last time!

The Rockets actually know that the combination of Yao and McGrady is not good enough. How many times have they lost the game because of McGrady's crotch in key games? The shooters work together, and it's not like they haven't made it to the conference finals in their careers.

You know, he is the man named the league's No. [-] center by ESPN! ! !

Just like Paul, the league's number one point guard, hasn't made it to the conference finals, this is going to be nailed to the pillar of shame.

Every basketball fan is a Dayao fan, it must be a pity.

Therefore, Jiang Chao directly gave the best chicken soup and even promised:

"You can take the initiative to apply for a trade or let the athletes buy you out. I will give you the honor you want. As long as you come here, I promise you to reach the finals before the end of the next contract."

"What if it fails?? Don't you like to bet?"

Dayao has already been completely moved. The big ball market like New York is not particularly attractive to international players like him, but what is attractive to him is that Yi Jianlian and Sun Yue are both in New York, or Jiang Chao Also, there are many delicacies in the magic city...

Just saying that he and Yi Jianlian achieved the Great Wall connection in the NBA is enough to make him excited.

"Haha, Brother Yao, make a bet."

Jiang Chao also knows that this kind of promise is not convincing, but there is no way, he is not betting with the management, there is nothing to bet on.

It's just that Dayao is also a loyal fan of Card Master.

"If you don't fulfill your promise to me, when I leave the Knicks, you also buy a CBA team to drive the CBA market, how about it?"

"Uh... let's do it."

When Jiang Chao heard that it was CBA again, he frowned subconsciously, "Dayao, Dayao, why are you doing this? Do you know how much trouble the later generations of CBA have caused you?"This league has been rotten to the root, and the only way out is to build another root.

However, he was absolutely confident in himself and nodded in agreement.

"Then I promise you."

"Okay, with your words, I feel relieved. You go and talk to the management about your thoughts on leaving, and then call me. We, the Knicks, will handle it."

"Ah."

Speaking of Morey, Dayao now feels a little disgusted, but he will never see him again soon.

……

It was late at night.

As Morey was about to fall asleep, he was woken up by a phone call from Houston.

Dayao really interpreted what Tai Chi is called, and he neither cursed nor impulsively expressed his thoughts on the end of his fate with the Rockets, and expressed his desire to leave the Rockets and let the Rockets start building a team again as soon as possible. .

Morey, who has been bombarded by the outside media and has been forced by McGrady's team to renew his contract in advance, was devastated, and directly yelled:

"Who do you think you are? Trade if you want to trade?? Do you believe that I bought you out so that you have no ball to play??"

Seeing him break the defense, Dayao said directly:

"It's all right. Anyway, I'm about to retire soon, and I'm useless. If we buy it out, we can discuss it and won't ask you too much money."

"Hehe, it's the middle of the season now. Let me see which team will take over your 1700 million contract?? Don't count on your Chinese boss, they won't want you even if they want Tracy McGrady."

It seems that Morey was deceived by the Knicks executives, and now he thinks that Jiang Chao and the others really want McGrady to play with the Knicks in the playoffs.

And in fact, most people don't think that the Knicks need a traditional big center. Eddie Curry also played 8 minutes, right?

This is too extravagant.

Yes, the Knicks have such a luxury!

So Dayao tried not to change his face and said:

"You can choose for yourself. You can buy me out or put me on the shelf now. I want to trick other teams to get the last big contract."

Hearing Dayao talk about the last big contract, the naturally stingy manager Mo Gou couldn’t calm down immediately. Sure enough, Dayao couldn’t accept the Rockets’ low price offer after the contract ended. It seems that he can only cheat others. The team went.

His injury will recur 100% when the Rockets have Adelman. They also know that Van Gundy will use the center, but Van Gundy is not to mention how comfortable he is in the Magic now.

So Morey has been playing dumb. Everyone knows that Dayao cannot be used frequently at this weight and age, but everyone knows that the only thing the Rockets can rely on is Dayao's inside line.

None of the other outsiders are accurate, and there is no helper for the insiders. It is very bleak.

It is absolutely impossible for him to buy out Dayao.

A buyout requires paying a huge amount of salary right now, so as to free up space in the team. Generally, it is only when no one wants the player that he chooses to buy out, or when he retires a veteran with honor and gives money in the name of justice. .

And Dayao can obviously exchange positive assets with other teams without paying the next salary. Now that he buys out, other teams will frantically snatch up new contracts, which will directly make other teams cheaper.

"Thank you for taking care of me in the past nine years. Our fate should come to an end here. I wish our Rockets better and better and fulfill my dream of a championship."

Dayao still has deep feelings for the Rockets, which cannot be determined by Morey's bad words alone.

"Then where are you going to go next, can you tell me?"

"Let's see which teams want me first. This is my last help to you. I don't care which team I go to. I just want to get a contract and take care of my retirement."

"Okay, then I'll watch it?"

"Well, goodbye, I'll wait for your transaction news."

"Okay, since you have made up your mind to go this way, I will discuss a suitable plan as soon as possible."

To be honest, why Morey is unwilling to put Dayao on the shelf now is not all because of his Chinese market, but because his indefinite truce is very annoying, and he can't play for a while. How could other managers rashly before they don't know Yao's status? trade?

But since he will be traded sooner or later or let him retire naturally when his contract expires, it is not bad now, it is better than not getting anything after retiring.

He used to be afraid that Dayao felt that he would be abandoned by the trade now, so that the Chinese fans of the Rockets would run away at once, and the reputation of the Rockets would not be so good. Now that it is Dayao who wants to break up on his own initiative, it just happened to make him An opportunity to create value with Yao.

The next step was the handover between agent Zhang Mingji and the Rockets management, saying that after the transaction, Dayao would explain that Dayao took the initiative to give the Rockets space and seek new opportunities. The two sides broke up peacefully.

But how about the specifics can be discussed by netizens. Anyway, the Rockets management has a bad reputation recently because of the trade of Tracy McGrady.

It means that Yao Ming betrayed the Rockets, or that the Rockets betrayed Yao Ming, but in fact, there are no real Rockets fans in Chinese fans, are they all personal fans?

And in the eyes of Dayao's team, Jiang Chao has mastered a basketball forum with a level of tens of millions, which can completely lead the direction of public opinion.

So in the end, it is said that the probability of a peaceful breakup is the highest, and the blame will not be on Dayao.

After all, everyone in this day and age likes to live in a city forever, which is why Jiang Chao was so difficult before.

Here, Jiang Chao also quickly handed over this matter to Sean Marks to deal with, and he wanted to create an illusion:

The Knicks just came here to pretend to be taken advantage of, and you want to sell Dayao?Sell ​​Dayao to me first, so that they don't have the risk of additional expenses of buying out.

As for McGrady, let's talk about it later, Dayao and I are also interested in making an offer.

The specific operation is left to professional people like them, and how to trade and sign without violating the rules, these have to be done by professional people.

However, he pointed out not to hurt feelings, how to do it, don't embarrass Dayao because of his relationship with Dayao, breaking up should be decent, and the second marriage should also be decent.

Then it's basically fixed.

Dayao's salary this year is 1638 million US dollars.

The Knicks have two players to balance.

Eddie Curry, 1094 million, this is definitely a high-quality contract, because it is a contract year, it can be signed at a low price or thrown away when it is used up, and it will not affect the Rockets' failure or reconstruction at all.
