Legendary Basketball Tycoon

Bruce's meaning is very clear, while all the teams in the league are busy with draft matters during this time, then quickly set things up. If this year's draft picks are involved, they must be determined before the draft begins. That's it, so that nothing happens again.

Mitch Kupchak nodded. Of course, he also knew that this year's Han Chinese team's draft was not too high. How to make good use of this must be discussed with the general managers of those teams. In case they want to. What about this year's rookies, this is also easy to deal with this year's team's draft picks! If it is really delayed until the end of the draft, the cucumber dishes will be cold, and the value of this will be greatly reduced.

Just then, the bell...Bruce's phone rang again!

Mitch Kupchak's relaxed nerves suddenly became tense, and he was deeply afraid that something bad would happen to his prince after receiving the call. Not long ago, the prince received a call from the Supersonic boss Paul Allen, and the result was to send Iverson away. Now that the call is coming, he will not send others away.

Now Mitch Kupchak is starting to be curious, waiting for the prince to announce the final result after listening to the call.

And Bruce, who didn't know Mitch Kupchak's brain hole, saw that the caller ID on the phone was actually Stern, which stunned him.

It should be noted that not long ago he made a special trip to the league headquarters because of Stern's "saucy operation" to draw the No. 1 pick to the Nets. It was definitely the happiest day for him to go to the league headquarters.

The two sides had a friendly meeting. He and Stern, the two cunning foxes, discussed for a long time in the office, and finally reached an agreement. Both of them were satisfied with what they wanted.

But what does Stern mean by calling him now? ! Do you want to go back or change something? !

Now Bruce is not calm. It's like the students have already discussed with the teacher. We don't ask the parents if the score is poor this time. It's ok to wait for the next time to pass the test, and the teacher called home. What does it mean? !

To be honest, Bruce is afraid that Stern will call to inform him now, because Dayao's entry into the team has not been finalized, and he also needs to see Stern's face. If Stern does something at this time, he will be miserable.

No way, hiding is not a thing, Bruce can only answer the phone.

Fortunately, the call from Stern was not from Dayao, but to inform him to participate in the owners' committee three days later.

Bruce asked what was going on on the phone, and he needed to participate in person. As a result, Stern said that you will know when you come, and ordered Bruce to go in person. Of course, all the bigwigs in the entire league must also attend this owners committee.

It's really the second monk who can't figure it out. Forget it, since all the members are participating, then it's time to go.

…

Three days later, Bruce attended the owners' committee with his special assistant, Bob Myers.

Mitch Kupchak won't be able to play with the Blues because of the trades with those three teams these days.

Oh, it's really all here!

Look at all these big guys, they are really gathered here!

Sitting there are SuperSonics owner Paul Allen, Lakers owner Jerry Buss, Knicks owner James Dolan, Spurs owner Pete Holt, Heat owner Mickey Arison, Mavericks owner Mark Cuban, Celtics owner Paul Gaston, Rockets owner Tilman Fertitta, Magic owner Richard DeVos, Warriors Team owner Chris Cohan, 76ers owner Leslie Alexander, Suns owner Jerry Colangelo, Bulls owner Jerry Michael Reinsdorf, Clippers owner Donald Sterling, Pacers, Simon Brothers, Kings, Maloof Brothers, Pistons, Bill Davidson, Timberwolves, Glen Taylor, Cavaliers, Gordon Gander, Jazz Team owner Larry Miller, Bucks owner Herb Kool, Blazers owner Barry Akeley, Raptors owner Larry Tanenbaum, Wizards owner Abbey Pauline, the Eagles are owned by Bruce Levenson, the Hornets are owned by George Shinn, the Nets are owned by...etc

Of course, Stan Kroenke, who just bought the Nuggets this year, is also among them.

Speaking of which, Stan Kroenke is considered to be the representative of the strongest king in the "door-to-door son-in-law". His wife, Wal-Mart heiress Ann Walton Kroenke, also provided him with a good start on the road to wealth.

Kroenke's business philosophy for investing in sports: for him to enter a sports club, it is not how much he loves the club, but the investment behavior based on business considerations. Kroenke already knew that stadiums were more profitable than team records.

So in 2000, Kroenke's company bought the Nuggets, Avalanche and the Pepsi Center, the home stadium of the two teams, from Aisheng Entertainment for $404 million. In this transaction, the Pepsi Center Stadium officially opened in 1999, and Kroenke bought it for 180 million without hesitation. With a modern stadium and two professional teams, the stadium's box office revenue can be guaranteed, which is why Kroenke chose to invest in these two professional teams.

(Stan Kroenke's family history is available on the Internet. Anyone who is interested can check it out. What the author wants to say here is that it seems that having a good wife with money, beauty and beauty is something to be praised. After all, the sentence in the previous life It is not nonsense to say that you can save 30 years of struggle)

Of course, Bruce, as the owner of the New York Hans, must also be involved. Although Bruce, who was just 15 years old and less than 16 years old, is still a minor, but a few years ago, Comrade Liu Guangrong announced his flag in front of the United States and the world. In addition to the need for an excessive amount of money to be authorized by him, all other matters were handled by Bruce, who was still in elementary school at the time, which really caused a sensation at the time, but after Bruce won a lot of land in the United States, The doubts slowly subsided.

So it's not a problem for Bruce to participate in the owners' committee this time. After all, the New York Hans have now been assigned to his name. Coupled with the fact that he is escorted by a top-level boss like Paul Allen behind him, no one in the league dares to underestimate the underage Bruce.

Of course, they can't underestimate it. Even without Paul Allen's help, Bruce's own worth is enough for those who dispute him to have nothing to say!
