NBA: Start with 20 billion, buy the Knicks

Ryan raised his head, right, this is the attitude that young people should have.

Sure enough, David saw that Jiang Chao could still make sense, so he talked about it and introduced this year's free agents, but in fact, he also knew that there were no outstanding people this year, so he suggested that he also discuss with other teams. It is guessed that the people Jiang Chao wants to take are almost the same.

Let's see if Iverson can regain his peak?

Or spend a lot of money on Kidd?Maybe he will agree?

But David said something new, that is, the Jazz has many players whose contracts have expired, such as Mehmet Okur and Boozer.

The president is indeed the president!

He said that if Jiang Chao has the heart, he can help Yao Ming, a native of the west. These two are Dayao's nemesis. If Dayao comes to the east, Dayao will be more comfortable in the west.

There is still something, old fox!

This was something that Jiang Chao didn't even think about. Jiang Chao himself should be too busy to care about Dayao now, but it's more because he, an open-eyed traveler like him, feels that the Rockets are not good enough for Dayao.

If there is a chance, he will come to Dayao directly, and it doesn't matter whether he is an opponent or not.

However, Mehmet Okur and Boozer are indeed good quasi-star players. Both of them have one characteristic, that is, a mobile shooting center with strong defensive ability, which is very suitable for the later era of defense switching.

At that time, you can raise the price or something, and if the right price can come, it is also a good player who can plug and play.

Vice President Ryan is also a 30-year-old backbone.

He directly suggested that if Jiang Chao brought in Kobe as a player option, then everything would be a cloud, and Jiang Chao would instantly become the happiest boss in the United States.

League No.1, comers come to New York again, Jiang Chao can have a good record and a double harvest.

Both Jiang Chao and Stern laughed.

Stern seemed to be half-joking, and squinted his eyes in anticipation: "Yes, if you have the ability, you can create an all-star insider in your space. The new version is OK, and the Eastern Conference will be king."

"If Nao Ke is really willing to come, I will not be stingy to give him a blank check (meaning to fill in the numbers for him casually.)" Jiang Chao smiled.

Ha ha ha ha!The three laughed, and the atmosphere eased a lot.

But obviously Stern is not going to let Jiang Chao go.

Because, the chances of the Bass family giving up the Black Mamba are almost zero.

He immediately changed into a big boss expression, and asked in a deep voice:

"Boss Jiang, tell me the truth, who will you choose to be your general manager and head coach, don't worry, I will keep it absolutely secret."

……

I really can't hold back anymore, what kind of planes are you young, you should tell us a little bit about it!

Chapter 33: Digging Bird Bird?Call Genius General Manager

"If you really have no choice, I can suggest some reliable candidates for you."

David Stern hid the knife with a smile, but in fact, he was also under a lot of pressure.

The bosses and the players union are all putting pressure on him. Damn it, how strict you were with us, and Jiang Chao under your nose didn't care?

Is it possible that the foreign boss will give preferential treatment?

The fine traditions of the United States are gone?

So he also has to give an explanation to the NBA team under him, whether the Knicks will find management.

"Soon, but you can talk about it, Mr. Stern."

Then Stern introduced a few unemployed general managers. In fact, they were the ones who contacted the Knicks. powerful.

There are even retired officials and referees from the NBA league, who are suitable for people who have never eaten pork but have seen too many pigs running?

As someone who has experienced it, he doesn't want to slowly train a manager or general manager that he can't even predict.

Seeing Jiang Chao's casual and distracted appearance, Ryan reminded him:

"Hey, boss, what do you think of the president's suggestion? Although these few people are not as experienced as Old Downey and D'Antoni's resume, they all have potential."

Jiang Chao remained expressionless: "I'll figure it out, thank you all."

Who do you recommend and who do I use?

This kind of threat to let him choose is not useful.

"We are also kind, and we don't want you to go to the point of selling the team." Among the people introduced by President David is Ryan's brother. He also thinks that his brother is a Knicks executive, so he will also have free seasons in the future. voted.

"As long as I don't go bankrupt and shut down the team without operating, you can't intervene in my operation, haha, I'm still too early to reach that point."

Jiang Chao handles the law very well.

Did Ryan sell the team?

This must be the opinion of most people in the alliance, can't the fox's tail hide?This means looking down on Jiang Chao.

Pity.

The league has no power to force an owner to sell the team, unless it is a global sensation, such as the Clippers owner Sterling incident and the magical case of Chelsea.

Unless the league itself acts (as) the team owner.

A deal that almost changed the league structure in 2011 was not realized because the league itself represented a team owner.

At that time, the Hornets went bankrupt and the league bought them. The kind old man in front of him is equivalent to the owner of the Hornets. At this time, the star Paul is looking for a deal.

At that time, Stern did not allow the league's No. 1 controller to be on the same team as the league's No. [-] under the balance of interests, otherwise other teams would not be able to play.

Of course, if the Hornets were still their own boss at that time, the deal might have been reached.

"Ryan, you go out first."

Ryan looked more immature in front of Jiang Chao. David Stern signaled the vice president to leave the office quickly, which was almost killed by Jiang Chao. David wanted to eat Ryan.

Can't hold back, no matter how young they are, they are still employers, and they want to share the profits with the alliance.

If the Knicks continue to rot and are really sold, the league's profits will also decrease.

Ryan didn't expect Jiang Chao to know his professional field so clearly, so he went out in disgrace, cursing:

"I want to see what you can do next season!"

……

Now there are still two of them in the office.

Jiang Chao raised his glass: "A clean environment seems to be more suitable for drinking tea."

If it wasn't for Stern, he might have said rubbish like flies are noisy.

David Stern held back his irritability and smiled:

"Well, you can consider my suggestion. Find the management as soon as possible, which is good for both of us."

Jiang Chao: "Today I will look for a head coach candidate."

"Yeah, I heard you're going on a business trip?" David was also a little surprised, it was almost the draft, and Jiang Chao was on a business trip now.

Crouching in the NBA doesn't work, but it's okay to grind your guns before the battle. All kinds of tricks will appear in the draft.

"Yes, I will go to Indiana in the afternoon, and the ticket is ready."

"Oh~~ not bad." Stern finally felt relieved.

"You want to dig Bird Bird, a good choice, he is very strong as a head coach and general manager."

There are not many people who can make Stern say this, and forcing the king is one of them.

When it comes to Indiana, in his opinion, it must be to poach Bird. Larry Bird is the only player in NBA history who has achieved regular season MVP, finals MVP (FMVP), best coach of the year and best general manager of the year. Manager awards slam man.

"I checked, his contract with the Pacers' general manager has indeed expired, yes!"

This kind of legend, coming to the Knicks, will be more worth looking forward to than players.

"Ahaha, yes."

Jiang Chao didn't explain too much, Stern thought it was okay, anyway, he did what he wanted to do.

A person like Bird is a match for him, and Wang Wang is a super pretender that the boss doesn't pay attention to. How could Jiang Chao allow someone to pretend to be under him? ?If it really comes, he has to completely delegate power, which is obviously not something Jiang Chao would do.

And Bird's family lives in Indiana, he will not move unless the Knicks move to Indiana.

"That's fine."

David Stern was too relieved. If he really wanted Bird to come over, although the effect was not as good as Kobe's coming to the Knicks, it would definitely make everyone look at Jiang Chao with admiration.

To poach Bird, no matter whether he continues to be the general manager or resumes coaching, compared with him, Old Downey and D'Antoni are indeed birds, and what fans look at is their historical status!The highest-status player in white basketball player history!

"Hey, old man, don't be impatient, don't be led astray by public opinion, I'm not really crazy, I'm also poaching people with the Spurs, the process is a bit slow, trust the process!"

In order to make Stern more at ease, Jiang Chao moved out of the Spurs system, which is very stable at first sight.

Sure enough, when Stern heard about the Spurs, um, it was okay.

The Spurs are the only top team in the small ball market that didn't want to push hard but could win the championship during his tenure. He admires the Spurs management very much.

And the people of the Spurs really have to grind slowly, there is no way, the experience of the playoffs with the Spurs is too good, in the management of other weak teams, it is a novice village experience, and with the management and coaching staff of the Spurs, it is difficult to play The copy has been leveled up.

David Stern suddenly thought who it was, maybe Cole?

After all, now that the Suns general manager Stephen Cole is in crisis, it is not surprising that Jiang Chao is looking for Cole.

It’s just that Cole is still too young compared to RC Buford and Larry Bird. It may be that he was criticized in another place (Last year, the ninth Suns in the Western Conference did not make the playoffs, and the general manager Cole was also scolded for his inability to operate. .)

Thinking of this, David Stern slapped his head. He thought of a very powerful young general manager in the past two years:

"Hey, boss JIANG, why don't you go to Sam Presti, his three-year contract with the Thunder expires this summer, he is a talent in the draft!"

David thought that Jiang Chao had never heard of this kid, but Jiang Chao had already heard of the president of YYDS in the eyes of this fan.

Jiang Chao is very generous:

"Do you have his phone number, sir? I'll talk to Mr. Pu now."

"Naturally."

"Am I becoming your 'accomplice'?"

David Stern found out the Thunderbolt management phone number in his notebook, and blinked, he turned out to be Jiang Chao's tool man.

"I'm in a hurry."

Jiang Chao originally wanted to contact Mr. Pu, but not for the general manager's affairs.

But now I just have this opportunity to say hello to Mr. Pu and reassure David Stern, so we can kill two birds with one stone.

Before Stern could react, Jiang Chao called the legendary general manager face to face.

Sam Presti!

Before Jiang Chao crossed over, Mr. Pu let the Thunder have 7 first rounds and 17 draft picks in the next 34 years!

Then the rookies he fancy are basically not good at water. In 0708 and even this year's 09, he didn't miss it. He directly selected 3 MVP-level super giants. The current Thunder fans haven't felt it yet. Jiang Chao often regrets the three young days Thunder.

He is a super general manager with draft ability at the TO level, and he has already begun to emerge, and everyone except Ibaka has played it.

So David Stern now said that President Pu is always a genius, and everyone understood it later. He suggested that Jiang Chao vigorously smash President Pu just for the future of New York.

But in fact, Jiang Chao just gave it a try, if it didn't work, forget it.

Sure enough, after making the call, Mr. Pu was stunned for a moment, thinking that Jiang Chao was going to negotiate a deal, but it turned out that he wanted to poach himself?

Don't even think about it.

He said that he played well, and this year's draft has not come yet, so he can't give up the Thunder fans.

This sentence made Jiang Chao see his tragic general manager career.

The reason why President Pu has a soft spot for draft picks is because he saw the sadness of the small ball market early, and Durant's departure made him realize the reality.

If another Durant is selected, he will still leave, so his operating strategy is rookie Taobao + stud big fish depending on the situation, if it doesn't work, it will be completely bad and continue.

No one knows whether his strategy is right or not, anyway, Jiang Chao would not play like this.

This has to talk about Mr. Pu's weakness. His draft ability is to, but his operation ability is t2.

Thinking about how difficult it is to choose the Four Young Masters at the same time, it will be even more difficult to use it if you choose it.

One of the top 3 stupid trades in NBA history came from President Trump.

Harden's contract extension that year was $6000 million for four years, but the Thunder offered $5400 million for four years, and only gave Harden an hour to think about it.
