NBA: Start with 20 billion, buy the Knicks

Will the Knicks day be bright?

Jiang Chao also had the same idea. Six years later, Sean Marks helped the Nets, who are also in New York, open up a world.

And next season, will the Knicks' sky light up because of him?

Wait and see!

(PS: Thank you Yuanliang for the 500 point reward!)

Chapter 52: Alliance with the Spurs?Iron triangle!

Several people went to Sean Marks' dormitory to sign a contract.

The 30-square-meter dormitory is simple, with a bed and a work desk. The table is full of data sheets and scouting reports, as well as a small fax machine.

Even the walls are covered with data and basketball posters, and there are many photos of Dayao.

It can be seen that Sean loves basketball.

Unexpectedly, except for these A4 papers, other daily necessities were neat and clean. This can be regarded as a "surprise inspection" by Jiang Chao and the others. I didn't expect Zhang Fei to be able to embroider.

This really has a manager's inner flavor. To be a general manager, you have to be orderly in everything, be able to deal with everything at any time, and not be chaotic. If the general manager is chaotic, can the people below not be chaotic?

Jiang Chao called and asked Lao Lu to fax the contract.

Lao Lu was startled: "Boss, have you found the general manager?"

"Well, it's time to sign."

"OK, I'll pass it on now!"

In the past two days, the Knicks headquarters, which has been in a state of turmoil, is all guessing Jiang Chao's movements after he is on business.

In addition to Bird's news today, everyone just wanted to wait for a call from Jiang Chao.

After Lao Lu received the call, they all gathered and asked about this and that.

After Lao Lu said that he would send a fax to the address in San Antonio, everyone just thought about it.

Downey Jr. cared the most. To be honest, he also wanted to see who would be better than his father. If it was RC Buford, he didn't say anything.

The top management of the Spurs is indeed not at the same level as other managements. The founder of overseas Taobao, just kidding!

Sean Max poured water for Jiang Chao and the two, and then said that he would make a few phone calls to resign and say goodbye between faxes.

"Please feel free to~"

Jiang Chao also respected such a well-mannered man, sat in his seat and looked at the data reports he made of Jeremy Lin, John Wall and others, and motioned him to please.

The Spurs are now preparing for next year's draft. This sense of advancement is worthy of the league's management benchmark.

Sean Marks respectfully stepped aside and made 3 phone calls to the three people he respected most in his career.

First, he called his immediate boss, RC Buford, and told him that he was going to resign.

The Spurs have always been a Buddhist team, but RC was taken aback when he heard that it was the general manager of the Knicks.

He asked Max to answer the phone for Jiang Chao, and he made a request, not to let the boss arbitrarily rule.

Jiang Chao: "Don't worry, I'm not Dolan."

This is similar to the scene when Sean Marks went to the Nets in later generations. RC also asked the Nets to give Sean Marks enough respect.

The Spurs released Cai Chongxin after he promised not to interfere with the work of the general manager.

But it’s different now. Now Max is not the successor of RC, he’s just an assistant, so it’s okay.

And he didn't do anything to the Knicks, unlike the richest man in the fighting country in later generations who messed up the Nets.

"Go ahead, Sean, let me tell you wherever it is useful in the future, we are not in the same district, and we are still friends."

Sean Marks thanked in a low voice: "Thank you!"

The eye sockets are already moist.

The second call was to Gregg Popovich, his mentor. Popovich said that everything is going well in the future, and then congratulated him.

To Sean Marks' surprise, the league's most reluctant head coach to talk to outsiders.

I really want to talk to the youngest boss in this league:

"Hey, Mr. JIANG, grab our assistant, don't grab our player!"

Jiang Chao: "Friendly cooperation, Mr. Bobo."

"I have a chance to buy you red wine." Jiang Chao, who is well versed in Popovich's hobbies, said with a smile.

"Of course, Sean is a good manager. With him around, New York will get better."

Sean Marks and Stevens looked at each other, wow, is Jiang Chao naturally friendly?

It is rare for Popovich to talk to him so gently. Popovich is a ruthless ESPN reporter who can pass a sentence in a sideline interview.

The last call was to Tim Duncan, who had been backing him up.

Duncan had anticipated the call: "Well, do it well, and I'll keep an eye on you."

Jiang Chao shouted beside him:

"Shi Buddha, don't forget to come to New York to repair the car."

Duncan at the Black Jack Garage over there has black lines all over his face:

"Don't fix it, just buy a new one if it breaks, boss."

Sean Marks answered the call:

"I've become the general manager, and New York is quite suitable for you to retire."

"I'm still a rookie!" Duncan hung up the phone.

Really old comedians.

The Spurs are so fun, they are like a family, just like the river in San Antonio, always calm.

……

Max successfully resigned without writing a resignation letter.

It can be seen that the Spurs actually don't matter.

Just like a non-core employee who works hard is poached by a company of the same type across a province, it will be uncomfortable for a while, but it will not hurt the foundation.

Except for the championship-level teams in the East and West, basically there is not much enmity.

And now the big center is sitting upright studying the contract printed out by the fax machine.

"Boss Jiang, congratulations, the management team has been formed!"

Stevens didn't look much, either.

In fact, this contract is the same as his, which is 5 million for 935 years. Jiang Chao is a master of Duanshui.

"This is just the beginning. What do you think of Max? He will be with you in the future." Jiang Chao's typical practice of finishing first and then asking how he felt made Stevens as dull as a sage.

Your sister's autograph is signed, what can I say.

Of course, he didn't think there was anything bad about it. People of the same age are more talkative, and everyone is new. It would be great to discuss the future of the team together. It is unlikely that the two sides will disagree:

"Sean should be very aggressive. Although he has never been a manager, I think his learning ability and character will definitely do well in the management team. The people trained by the Spurs will not be bad."

"Well, it's over when the youth storm blows, and you get along well with him, it's fine."

Jiang Chao exhaled.

joke!

The man who made the Nets shine.

Although he came to New York a few years earlier, I believe it will achieve the desired effect.

He is the only one in the whole world who knows how awesome Sean Marks is.

Jiang Chao actually has a better chance of choosing him now than when he becomes the deputy general manager of the Spurs in a few years.

Parker guessed right, he really needed a puppet talker.

But it is not the fault, and it is likely to share the credit for the future, but there must be someone in this position.

Originally, Jiang Chao still wanted Downey Jr., but he just thought about it. If he really used it, he would be criticized even more. Doesn't the master father need to use his son?Do you think it's a son doll?

Little Downey can indeed run errands, and he has inherited his father's advantages, which will save money!

So Jiang Chao wanted to keep him as Sean Marks' deputy.

You can tell by looking at his recent performance. He is good at running errands and negotiating. He is indeed a young man who was born as a scout.

And Sean Marks is the one who listens to him the most because he has not yet become the deputy general manager. You must know that Cai Chongxin can't even talk about it later, and Max has too much power.

In Jiang Chao's view, it will explode sooner or later.

So, his Knicks.

The power will still be in his hands.

Now becoming the benefactor of Sean Marks who is still unknown in advance will make Jiang Chao's power firmly grasped.

Youth storm?

Ginger Super Storm!

The role of the general manager for later bosses like Jordan was a pawn, the person who gave the scout information to the boss, and the person who conveyed the decision for the boss and communicated with the players.

That's all the work written in Sean Marks' contract for the time being, and he fully accepts it.

Even if he gave him a hundred guts, he wouldn't dare to deal with the trade and the draft alone. The boss saw that he was so thoughtful, and Max was ready to become Jiang Chao's shadow in the upcoming draft.

There are also bonus rules at the end of the contract. The general manager's reward is similar to that of the head coach. In addition to the record reward, there is also the best general manager reward.

If the best general manager is awarded in a single season, a single reward of 100 million US dollars will be awarded.

Just think about it, the league now has too many powerful general managers.

Max puts down his pen, and Stevens takes pictures.

"Signed!" Sean Marks smiled, picked up the contract and gave a thumbs up to Stevens' camera.

"Congratulations!"

"Welcome to join us!"

"Heavenly Man! If the lineup is not good, you can go into battle yourself!" Stevens thumped his shoulder.

Jiang Chao breathed a sigh of relief.

I'm coming.

This future best general manager who turned decay into magic has become his man!

in later generations.

In order to form the so-called Big Five, the Nets owner Mikhail Prokhorov traded the aging Pierce and Garnett from the Celtics.

In this deal, the Nets got three draft picks in 14, 16, and 18.

The plot after that was the failure of the Big Five plan of the Nets, and the Nets quickly became a big team.

Pierce and Garnett therefore became the real heroes of the Celtics.

The Celtics, who hold the pick of the Nets, got two super rookies Brown and Tatum through the draft.

Here, Jiang Chao thought of the most embarrassing thing. After Mikhail Prokhorov sold the team to Tsai Chongxin for 35 billion, he made back all the money he lost before, which shows how profitable the New York team is.

And it was just such a mess, but when he came to take over Max, he revived it step by step.

Former general manager Billy King was an idiot who only paid sky-high luxury taxes, but Sean Marks has the characteristics of RC Buford and likes to settle down to find good players.

Why did Jiang Chao fall in love with him, because he has never missed a deal in just a few years of operation.

No, maybe the only miss was Owen Shengxian?
