Legendary Basketball Tycoon

In fact, this is the norm in the NBA. Few bosses have full ownership of a team. They sell part of the equity. On the one hand, they want to make some money to make a profit. You must know that selling equity is quite profitable. The other aspect is to attract the rich to share the risks of the team. After all, if the team has only one shareholder, it would be too single. If there are a few more, then although the team’s revenue may be reduced, other shareholders also have private. The industry, they will also do publicity for the team, this is definitely not a loss.

Of course, this matter will have different problems in different teams, but as far as the Lakers are concerned, as long as Buss does not die and sell more shares, there is basically no problem, even if his sons and daughters are competing for the Lakers. The control is the same. As long as the Bath family has a controlling stake, there is basically nothing to worry about.

What worries most is Jerry West, who is the general manager of the Lakers. Not only does he have to face the repeated targeting of Jenny Buss and Jim Buss, there may be Philip Anschutz coming later. It is indeed a bit stressful to point fingers at him.

"All right, you talk to Philip Anschutz, I can manage the Lakers well." Jerry West replied helplessly.

These things are not something he can intervene, as long as the Lakers are not messed up, he believes that no one can force him to leave.

"Oh, by the way, how are you looking for the team's head coach?!" Old Buss asked suddenly.

Also, this year the Lakers often change head coaches. It's not that they can’t find famous coaches, but those famous coaches have been regarded as treasures by other teams in the league. Even the Lakers pay a penalty for not going back to Los Angeles. The problem is those balls. The management of the team wouldn't let it. Why give you the Lakers? There are only so few famous coaches who treat you as a Chinese cabbage!

This is also the reason why the Lakers often change head coaches. If you can't find a famous coach or don't want to be a rookie, you can only drag like this!

The head coach of the Lakers is still Bill Berteka. The difference from his previous life is that the Bruce abducted Del Harris to China in advance. Otherwise, the Lakers would still have the lead in the hands of Del Harris.

But Bill Berteka's coaching ability is really not good. It is obviously unworthy to let him continue to coach on a giant team like the Lakers!

"I have been in contact with Rick Adelman again, and he said to consider it again." Jerry West replied calmly.

At present, only the famous coach Rick Adelman is still unemployed, and the Warriors closest to Los Angeles have been fired, so the Lakers contact Rick Adelman without any effort. Oakland moved to Los Angeles, and it’s not that far in 1-2 hours!

Old Buss continued to smoke a cigar and slowly said, "How about we dug out Paul Westphal of the Han Chinese?!"

In fact, this is also the intention of the old Bass. After all, this season Paul Westphal has just brought the Hans this young team to the knockout stage. This is enough to show that Paul Westphal's coaching ability is still very good. Yes, if it weren't for Alonzo Mourning and Kobe Bryant who were suspended from the league, it would be really hard to say that the Hans will play the Heat in this series.

So Paul Westphal’s coaching ability is really no problem. In addition, he is free after this season. With his performance in coaching the Hans this season, I believe that some teams in the league are still very optimistic about this rookie. Turned into the head coach of the veteran.

Of course, Old Buss didn’t say one thing, that is that Kobe Bryant’s affairs made him really angry. Bruce’s robbing of Kobe Bryant in the 96th NBA Draft has made him angry so far. Well, now that the Hans have let the coach who led the team to achieve the best results by themselves, then I am embarrassed to scatter it. The Lakers can also dig and scatter it. The most important thing is to disgust Bruce.

"What, dig Paul Westphal?!"

Jerry West looked very surprised and speechless. He didn't expect the old Buss to actually fall in love with Paul Westphal, the head coach of the Han people. This must be a lot of hatred and resentment. He just I just discussed with him about digging out the Hans’ All-Star players, but now they’ve come up with a plan to dig out the Han’s head coach together. Obviously, Buzz wants to meet with Bruce. Hey...

But what Old Buss said is not unreasonable, and Rick Adelman's family is willing to come to Los Angeles or not, it is not necessarily. It is better for the Lakers to have alternative candidates. To be honest, Paul Westphal It's really good. At least at this stage, it is outstanding among other candidates. First of all, the results are placed there. Then the character is not good. It is a gentleman. Such a head coach is still Jerry West moved a little.

"Ahem, this, let me think about it first."

As the general manager of the Lakers, Jerry West is in charge of all the affairs of the team. He has to be responsible for the team. Therefore, he is particularly fancy about the selection of the head coach. After all, he does not want to take time to sign up every year. Head coach. It can be said that Jerry West is going to let the new head coach stay in Los Angeles for a few more years.

But here comes the problem, no one can guarantee that the head coach will be able to stay for a long time, right, what if he doesn't agree with the team.

Jerry West knows that Paul Westphal, the head coach, is relatively dull and is basically good at bombardment tactics. If he is in other teams, he can’t guarantee Paul Westphal’s guns. Boom tactics must be suitable, but if it is the Lakers, then it must be inappropriate, why, because of Shaquille O’Neal, can you imagine fat guys flying all over the court to slam the opponent’s basket? Can’t imagine, right? Let’s talk about it. If Shaquille O’Neal is really bombarded, you can definitely see people suggesting that either Paul Westphal will go or he will come out before the start of next season.

When the time comes, it is up to you to solve the trouble. This is definitely not enough!

"I don't agree with digging Paul Westphal to the Lakers. Of course, if Rick Adelman refuses, he can dig him over!"

In fact, when the old Bass proposed to dig Paul Westphal, Jerry West was actually opposed to it in his heart. Of course, if Rick Adelman was not coming, it would really be nothing to say. , After all, Paul Westphal's coaching ability is still good, nothing more!

"Oh, why?!" Old Buss asked suspiciously.

He didn't expect Jerry West to oppose it. Didn’t he see Paul Westphal’s coaching ability this season? No, obviously Jerry West saw it, but he still opposes it. , Then this is a bit curious.

The only reason I like Paul Westphal is that it's more or less disgusting Bruce!

Didn't Jerry West notice it? !
