Legendary Basketball Tycoon

That is to say, Michael Jordan has such privileges. They are both teachers and apprentices and friends. There is something that Michael Jordan will tell himself. So in this matter, Phil Jackson chose to support Michael Jordan’s ideas. .

"Hehe, it's still Phil's majesty, just like what the Chinese language says, oh the prime minister's belly is holding the boat! Well, it seems that's what he said."

I don’t know if I have been with Bruce for a long time. This is not a sign that Michael Jordan has been a bit crooked, especially when I occasionally had nothing to do recently, I learned a few sentences in Chinese and read a few books in Chinese. Show off in front of Phil Jackson.

"What?! The prime minister is holding the boat on his stomach?! What does this mean!"

How could the prime minister's belly hold the boat? !

Isn’t that a monster? !

The oriental culture is really terrible!

Although Phil Jackson visited an Eastern Zen master when he was young, he sought out the true meaning of Zen Buddhism. But he only has a deep research on Eastern Zen and highly praises it, so he definitely doesn't know this Eastern saying.

"It seems to have a lot of meaning to describe a person!" Michael Jordan explained hurriedly.

He didn't want to make Phil Jackson think he was scolding him because of this sentence. The conscience of heaven and earth, I have learned a few sentences in Chinese, which is completely used to show off.

The real explanation of "the prime minister can hold a boat in his belly" is to advocate open-mindedness and kindness in dealing with others.

However, it is not wrong for Michael Jordan to describe Phil Jackson in this way. Phil Jackson is indeed called this name.

"Oh, okay, I'll take it for you to explain it! But what else do you have when you came to see me this time?!"

Phil Jackson is still very satisfied with Michael Jordan’s praise of him. After all, with the gradual expansion of Michael Jordan’s influence, he has a little bit of the Bulls boss Jerry Rainsdorf and general manager Jay. Lee Klaus is in the eye, not to mention his head coach, so Michael Jordan’s praise of him is equivalent to respect for him.

Respect is enough, Phil Jackson is usually nice.

"Oh, it's like this. I'm going to find David Stern in a while and plan to talk to him about something. It's not very convenient to bring this All-Star MVP trophy around. I'm thinking about asking you first. Bring this trophy back to the hotel, and I'll come to pick it up after seeing Stern!"

I can't bring the trophy to see the president of the league. After all, the things to be said later are more important. It is indeed a bit inappropriate to carry this trophy.

"No, what are you looking for David Stern? Are you going to choose to transfer after winning this year's championship?!"

Retiring is definitely not going to retire. Based on Michael Jordan's current physical condition, he can play for at least three more years. Since he is not retiring, it must be a transfer.

It's no wonder that Phil Jackson doesn't think so. In fact, Michael Jordan's contract expired last year, so the league specially gave him a contract, the only one!

In 1996, the contract renewed by Michael Jordan and the Bulls was a one-year contract of $30.14 million.

What was the concept of a contract of more than 30 million US dollars at the time?

In fact, the salary cap of each team at that time was only about 30 million. That is to say, Michael Jordan alone occupies the salary cap of the entire team. The salary cap of the 1996-97 season was 24.363 million. The Bulls The total salary of the others is 29.8 million US dollars, which is really a team for one person, and Michael Jordan is the only player whose salary is higher than the salary cap so far.

But Michael Jordan's salary will not be calculated into the Bulls' total salary, because this is a special condition created by the league for Michael Jordan, which is also publicly approved by the league.

Should the Bulls lose the contract after signing this contract? 30 million is almost the total revenue of a team every season at that time, but in order to be able to keep Michael Jordan, the owner of the Bulls Jerry Rainsdorf could not take into account so much. After all, relying on ticket sales and Michael Jordan's various peripherals can still pay back, and this is also of great benefit to the future development of the Bulls. If it were not for the existence of Michael Jordan, the Bulls might not have been able to get it in history. The next championship. This is the return of the Bulls owner Jerry Reinsdorf to Michael Jordan, and also thanks to Jordan for being able to stay with the Bulls.

It is said that Michael Jordan’s contract with the Bulls is signed once a year, joking about more than 30 million a year, how can anyone with money sign it for a few years? !

In Phil Jackson’s opinion, Michael Jordan is definitely ready to quit to another team. This is not all ready to discuss countermeasures with League President Stern, it is also Michael Jordan’s contract exception that Stern personally drafted. , This matter really has to say hello to Stern in advance, after all, Michael Jordan is now considered a global superstar, and his every move is quite interesting.

There are many teams that buy Michael Jordan at the starting price of the league, such as the New York duo, Los Angeles Lakers, Portland Trail Blazers and other teams, and the owners of these teams are undoubtedly not bad money. Lord, so maybe Michael Jordan really has the possibility of a transfer? !

Transfer?

How is this possible? I haven't thought about leaving Chicago yet, so the transfer certainly doesn't exist, but I can't tell Phil Jackson that I want to buy the team. What if something goes wrong? !

Since Phil Jackson thinks it is a transfer, let him think it is a perfect excuse to stop those troublesome discussions!

Why didn't I expect it? !

Phil does not lose it is Phil, his brain is so smart, yes, use this excuse.

"Well, be it right, I'm going to probe David Stern's tone!"

"Michael if you choose to leave the Bulls, then can you leave next year and continue to renew the contract with the Bulls this year!" Phil Jackson thought for a while and said to Michael Jordan who was about to leave.

what!

Michael Jordan faced Phil Jackson with a puzzled look.

The meaning is obvious, just want Phil Jackson to explain.

"Hey, Jerry never talked to me about the contract renewal."

I paid so much for the bull and helped the bull establish a dynasty! And now he is treated like this, I have to say that he and Michael Jordan are in the sky and the underground!

Michael Jordan is the kind of "chosen son" that everyone is willing to renew with him, and he will soon be replaced by the head coach.

It just so happens that their contract expires in 1998. If Michael Jordan stays for another year, then they can finally cooperate again.

"What, Jerry didn't talk to you about the contract renewal?!"

Michael Jordan is usually very carefree, unless he comes out when there are important players to trade, and basically people who can't see him at other times.

The most important coach of the team, Phil Jackson, was not asked by general manager Jerry Klaus to renew his contract. How could this be possible? !
