NBA: Start with 20 billion, buy the Knicks

"Please the Pacers make the playoffs next season, let's have a matchup, please kick the Knicks' ass in front of me."

"Okay, let's see whether I am better than your general manager. There is no better basketball president than me on this earth."

The distance between the two telephones seemed to smell of gunpowder, and Hayward's master and apprentice trembled across the distance.

Is this the Civil War of the Hoosiers?

Bragging, don't take me with you.

You are the boss, you can be the shopkeeper, the pressure is all on me.

"However, can you make it to the playoffs?"

Byrd narrowed his eyes with a look of disdain.

cough cough....

The students at Butler University couldn't hold back their laughter. Indeed, the Knicks are so bad in the 21st century, can they immediately enter the playoffs with a new boss?

Who wouldn't brag?And don't have to be responsible.

But Jiang Chao's next words made Bird's face change instantly, and he took his mobile phone directly to the sports car to make a call.

Hayward: Meow meow, this is my phone...

"Well then, let's make a bet."

I go?

Familiar feeling.

The young marshal was stunned for a moment, this scene seemed familiar!

Bet again? ? ?

Jiang Chao blinked.

At this moment, he turned into a card master, and his gambling addiction relapsed.

Last night was still the master of crossfire between Carlisle and the young marshal.

Going off in person today.

"Bet? I like it. What are you betting on?"

"Compare who will be ranked higher in the Eastern Conference next season."

"No problem, I'll make the bet."

"It's up to you." Every word the two of them said was like fighting with gods, and every word they said was a trap.

Jiang Chao felt that he would win, and Bird, an old fox, was already preparing to trick Jiang Chao.

"Let's make a recording together."

Bird seemed to be afraid of Jiang Chao's repentance, so he picked up his mobile phone to record first.

Jiang Chao signaled Stevens to press the recording button as well.

Play for real!

Stevens himself made a bet last night, but Jiang Chao made a similar bet, and the bet between them must be huge.

"Just bet on the right to swap the first round of next season, how about it?"

Bird lit a cigar in the car and smoked it leisurely.

Ha ha.

guessed.

Jiang Chao knew Bird, the old fox, was going to say this.

The right to swap in the first round is actually a literal meaning. In the second year, a team with a good record can choose to exchange a first-round pick with a team with a poor record. Then it is very likely to switch from a late first-round pick to a lottery pick.

This is generally incidental to player transactions, and it can also be regarded as a gambling transaction between teams, which generally does not appear.

But this kind of pure exchange is unheard of.

It's like betting on their own fate before the next season starts.

And Bird Bird naturally felt that the Knicks were the deputy squad leader of the Eastern Conference last season. This signing is a surefire top 8 pick for the season, and the Pacers will definitely have a better record than them next season.

Both of them were very confident, and Jiang Chao replied in seconds:

"Deal, the Knicks and the Pacers, whoever has a better record will have the first-round swap rights. If the Knicks have a better record, I will get your Pacers' first-round swap rights."

"Well, but this won't happen." Byrd took a deep breath, old gambler.

Only Stevens was in a daze by the side, and he played too much. Although the draft is not particularly important now, the lottery pick is very important, and each team hardly issues its own lottery.

And unless the two teams are very close in ranking, this first-round swap right will definitely be used.

This is a gamble on the future!

Stevens is under a lot of pressure. If you say that he personally bet with Carlisle yesterday, it’s fine. He just resigned. If his record is not good, he needs to be blamed. Then he is also willing to be the blame for Jiang Chao, a benefactor who knows how to meet.

But Jiang Chao took the team's first-round pick and exchanged the rights so easily, isn't it too casual?

But he can't say much, he can only work hard to have a better record than the Pacers.

"It's awesome, enough for myself, remember what you said, I also recorded it, and when my general manager finds it, let him submit a record to the league, and wait for the next season's draft."

"No problem, it's fine to file after the start of next season. Just remember what you said, little boss, you're too young."

Byrd looked like he was doing the math.

If this news spreads now, it will definitely make Knicks fans explode. After finding the general manager, Jiang Chao will be able to share the pressure.

"If there is red wine now, I would like to have a drink with you."

"I will ask you to have this drink at the draft meeting a year later."

Both of them set the flag, and we will know what the result will be in a year.

Byrd hung up the phone rudely.

If he can't get it, he will give up decisively, and this time, he got the Knicks' high pick next year, not to mention how comfortable it is.

In fact, he wanted to change to this year's team at first, but considering that Jiang Chao wasn't so stupid, and he didn't think of anyone on the team for the time being, forget it.

But in fact, Jiang Chao was the one who laughed from the bottom of his heart.

He only went from serious to laughing after Byrd hung up.

Marshal:

"Boss...you can still laugh, isn't the stake too high? How will you explain to the fans then?"

Jiang Chao laughed:

"Be confident, you should worry about how he will explain to the Pacers fans."

in his memory.

Guess correctly.

In 2010, the Pacers won the 10th pick in the first round, and the player they got was the star of the Pacers.

One of the four forwards——

General Joe!

hiss……

If they can really win Pickled Peppers by then, how strong will this Knicks team be? ?Pickled Pepper is the single-core man who tied the tiebreaker with James, the only man in the East who can compete with Mousse.

The main reason is that the style of play is very smooth, which can definitely attract a group of fans.

Jiang Chao couldn't help applauding himself.

And according to the script of the previous life, the Knicks are actually behind the Pacers, because Dolan is very unlucky. After drawing the 10th pick, he traded for another player + 2 second-round picks, which is equivalent to waiting for a year to get it. Air.

The Knicks' lineup for next season is pretty much the same, coupled with a few great tactics, Jiang Chao is still confident in the top 5 in the East, not to mention the top 8.

In fact, according to the current lineup of the Knicks, even if it is only matched with Curry, a guard who averaged 17.5 points, 5.9 assists and 4.5 rebounds per game in his rookie season, he can still have a place in the Eastern Conference.

so.

Forcing the king is bound to pay the price for his expansion!

I knew it would be a bigger game.

Bird probably thought the same as he thought, and he didn't want to swap. Whoever has the better record will get the pick of the other party. This is the real gamble!

But in this case, David Stern was the first to chop them off.

"I can't help but look at the face of the king after next season."

"Boss, I found out, you are the king of bullying..."

Chapter 49: General Joe reservation?Duncan's Auto Repair

Standing on the first floor, Stevens felt that Jiang Chao was too careless and was fooled by the old fox.

Not worth it!

Byrd stood on the second floor.

After he finished the call, he threw the mobile phone to Hayward, didn't even say thank you, and gave Hayward a look of sports car exhaust.

Hayward raised his middle finger behind: "fxxk-you!"

In the car, he called Pacers owner Melvin Simon and said pretentiously:

"Boss, next year we can enter the playoffs and get the first-round pick. Are you happy? Give me a raise."

"Who said that?"

"I said!"

After Melvin Simon learned about it, he gave Big Bird a thumbs up. It is indeed his Big Bird!

Next year, the Pacers will be famous in the rhythm of the basketball world!

What Bird thought was very clear, Jiang Chao is a young team, how can he win?Moreover, he had already researched that Jiang Chao had no contacts in the circle, that is, experts would not help him, and Carlisle seemed to be rejected by him who wanted to help him.

You are a 20-year-old boy, what do you use to fight these old birds?

Wouldn't it be possible to play around with him!

So he felt that he had successfully teased the child.

Stevens may also be on the third floor. He feels that Jiang Chao is teaching him the way the NBA boss does things. The people who choose him should support him without thinking!Maybe it will kill the big bird.

But they didn't expect Jiang Chao to be a man of the atmosphere.

How about the old mille-feuille?

Just wait for the big bird to turn into a small bird next year, and by then, he will not be merciful.

Your attitude towards me today will make you unable to climb next year!

As for Bird to be the Knicks president that the media advocated?

True fans know that this kind of person is completely uncontrollable, suitable for a boss who is like a shopkeeper.

Except for his basketball talent and shooting teaching, other aspects will not bring much help, but will cause a bunch of stinky problems.

If such a person gives power, the sky will be turned upside down.

It doesn't matter as an opponent, you were still in disarray before the Pacer George came, how about the Knicks fuck you!

More than self-confidence, Jiang Chao is worthy of any boss!

......

"Wow, this car is kinda cool."

When approaching the AT&T Center, the Spurs' home arena, Jiang Chao noticed a domineering Ford pickup parked in front of a garage on the side of the road.

He had wanted to buy a new car for a long time, but he had been thinking about what kind of car he wanted to buy.

Young, luxury cars and beauties are indispensable.

"Indeed, it's quite suitable for you, boss."
