Legendary Basketball Tycoon

"No, it's the Chinese New Year. Going outside with your family, isn't it a fun!" Bruce replied embarrassedly when he saw the bag being captured.

"Wait a moment, I don't know about you yet, we haven't finished analyzing the problems of the Sonics yet. We will leave after the analysis."

Is there anything else to analyze? Bruce thinks that he has done it clearly enough and how to analyze it before finishing it? !

"I took a look, and probably the problem is not very big. The most important issue is the trade between the Hans and the SuperSonics. It is impossible for David to not know what our relationship is, although no one can say anything about this normal trade. Come, but if David qualifies this matter, it will be difficult to do!"

The NBA may allow two teams to belong to the same family. It’s impossible to justify anywhere. So when Stern knew that Bruce had been adopted by Paul Allen as a "godson", he was very opposed to it at the beginning. What is a "Godson"? The "Godson" is a member of a family in the United States, and Paul Allen's acceptance of Bruce as a "Godson" must be something no one can say. It is in other places. There is no problem with this relationship, but the key point is that these two people are the bosses in the alliance. What if the two people get together? This is Stern's opposition.

But Bruce did a perfect job. From 1992 to 1997, Bruce did not have a deal with the Sonics in the short period of nearly 5 years. This surprised other bosses of the league and Stern. It stands to reason that they should be supported. It should be the Hans team led by Bruce that was just formed, and Paul Allen is the godfather of Bruce. How can he help Bruce gain a foothold in the NBA as soon as possible...

And the result is that these two people don't have a lot of intersection, so the transaction need not be said, usually when the two teams are playing, sitting together and watching the game is the end of the two.

This relieved Stern a lot. He was afraid that if these two people helped each other out, he would be in trouble if they formed a small group with other people to resist him.

"It's okay, he hasn't told me anything about Kobe, and he can't control how I want to trade and whom I want to trade with!" Bruce replied domineeringly.

Stern will be wary of himself. That’s for sure, but Bruce is not afraid. He hasn’t done anything wrong if he is not afraid of the shadow. Even if it is revenge, it’s all obvious, so he doesn’t hush Stern at all. .

If you want him to withdraw from the league, it is estimated that Stern may not be able to deal with it alone. Bruce now has such strength.

"Let's do it, you just have to know it!"

"Oh, by the way I think about the Canadian team's expansion draft. Take out the second round of 1997 and discuss the deal, let them choose Chucky Atkins, Chucky Atkins. Let me take a look at Sri Lanka’s contract, which is just one year away, and it’s just right for the other party to choose."

Bruce certainly knows who the general manager of the Toronto Raptors is now, Isaiah Thomas, nicknamed "Smiling Assassin", although the Toronto Raptors were established a little bit late for two years, but Isaiah Thomas is now in the wild and has A hugely influential retired star.

If Larry Tanebaum wants the Raptors to gain a foothold in Toronto and the NBA, then he needs to be influential and retired star, but Larry Tanebaum wants to invite the more prestigious "Magic" Johnson to come. When this general manager, "Magic" Johnson is obviously a loyal loyal to the Lakers. Let him join other teams, even if he becomes general manager, he will not do it for "Magic" Johnson. That's what Bruce is. I really admire the old Buss, he flicked "Magic" Johnson to the diehard kind.

If possible, Bruce also wants to rebirth to that era in advance to make arrangements to grab "Magic" Johnson, so maybe the ending of "Magic" Johnson will be different, at least Bruce will never allow his players to get in trouble everywhere. Playing with women.

Bruce still knows what kind of person Isiah Thomas is. It can be said that Isiah Thomas is a completely incompetent master as the general manager and head coach, but as a scout in the team, it is Quite competent, at least much better than the old hooligans, he is quite accurate in picking rookies, and it is difficult to compliment him in terms of trading or management.

"Is it just a second round signing in 1997?"

The second-round signing is actually worthless, at least in the 1990s. It was quite worthless. With the rapid development of basketball after the new century, the NBA has produced many high-quality players. Such a first-round signing is definitely not enough. The second-round lottery has only become popular from this time. It is conceivable that in the future, only one second-round lottery can sell for more than 2 million US dollars. What kind of concept is this? More than 2 million dollars can now sign an All-Star level. The player has a one-year contract.

So it was only in the 90s when the second round was not very useful. After a few years, Bruce would have to figure out if he had enough for the next round.

Paul Allen also had no idea. It stands to reason that he read the list of players faxed by Bruce, and he also marked those players who must stay on the team. He also calculated it himself. Obviously he exceeded the league’s 8 protected players. The list is there, so what should I do? Then you can only use the lottery to "buy" the opponent to let them choose the player they specify.

But the main thing is that now Paul Allen feels that a second-round pick will definitely not touch people. You must know that no one who can enter the league is a fool. Who would be willing to choose a second-round pick that is not high. What about the designated players? !

Isn't Toronto popular for its own selection? !

"Father, rest assured, I believe that the other party still wants to sell you a face. You are now the number one in the league. Oh no, you should be the number one in the four major leagues in the United States. You are a rich man like you. It is too late for Larry Tanebaum to agree with him, why would he still oppose it?!"

"Furthermore, it's useless for Larry Tanebaum to choose other people on the team. The league must know that the Canadian team in the past few years may only be able to complete the blood exchange if it wins the top three every year. It's better to buy one of you, after all, one more friend is better than one enemy!"

Paul Allen doesn’t need to worry about it. Bruce is sure that the Toronto Raptors will choose his way. That’s for sure. The reasons are clearly stated above. If you add Bruce and Paul. ·Allen backed him at the owners’ meeting. Larry Tanebaum established a team in Canada. Then the other party would not agree to such a condition out of gratitude. It can be said that Bruce completely decided him on Larry Tower. Nebaum.

"Well, I think so too, haha!"

Bruce's flattery was very successful, especially when he said that the number one in the four major leagues in the United States is completely deserved. It can be said that Paul Allen’s current worth is among the four major leagues in the United States. He can eat any team, and he can even buy more than one. In terms of financial resources, Paul Allen is the first person in the American sports world, and the business world is almost in the top ten in the United States. definitely.
