Legendary Basketball Tycoon

Stern said this to Bruce on the surface, but in fact he was already privately considering the effect of this operation.

Suffice it to say, as long as George Sheen sells the team to a New Orleans native, the Hornets will definitely move to New Orleans.

So the question is, if Jordan wants to build a team, then the time will be delayed.

There is no way that as soon as the Hornets withdraw, Jordan will immediately join the Charlotte team to build the team, and he did not do that. It is necessary to give the fans some buffer time.

Stern's mind has been thinking about how to operate it safely.

And Bruce on the other side doesn't care whether Stern is in outer space or not. He took the initiative to join him this time, and he still has something to tell Stern, lest the dictator feel that he is cheating on him.

"Mr. President, I have a few things to tell you in advance. Have you brought a quick-acting heart-saving pill?!" Bruce said with a slight smile.

"What's the matter?!" Stern became serious immediately.

Every time he sees Bruce showing such an expression, he knows that nothing good will happen. Either he will cheat himself or he will cheat others. In a word, Bruce is laughing too sinisterly!

It's boring, Bruce was thinking about asking Stern, for example, Mr. President, there is good news and bad news on my side, you have to listen to that first. But no, because it's impossible to explain it clearly with just one or two things.

"That's right, I'm ready to trade Kobe, and it will involve several teams. I estimate the nature of the deal to be very big. Let me tell you in advance." Bruce shrugged and said.

There is no way, Bruce has to say, because the transaction needs to be approved by the alliance, if Stern is not allowed, then how embarrassing it will be!

Although Stern also rejected the case of Paul being traded to the Lakers in his previous life, Bruce believes that Stern will definitely hate himself if he doesn't say hello to Stern.

Because the nature of this transaction involving Kobe is too big, it mainly involves not ordinary players, many of them are former All-Star players and many high-quality potential stocks.

If this deal comes out, I believe it will shock the United States, and I am afraid it can be ranked No. 1 in NBA transaction history!

Think about how shocking it would be to have both Kobe and Iverson traded, including former All-Stars like Payton, Eddie Jones, and Glen Rice.

Wouldn't it be possible without telling Stern ahead of time, it's obviously impossible.

Stern will definitely allow the trade, but he can't allow so many stars to be traded together, so it's still necessary for Bruce to put things up front.

"What, you want to trade Kobe?! Why?!" Stern was shocked.

You must know that Kobe is equivalent to the role of the king in New York. You Bruce did not get squeezed by the door and actually wanted to trade Kobe. What is this? !

"No way, I don't want to trade Kobe, but Kobe's heart is no longer in New York..."

In the next time, Bruce copied the rhetoric given to him by Kobe's agent. Anyway, I am not active, everything is passive. If you always blame the Lakers, I will not bear the blame.

As soon as Stern heard Bruce's rhetoric, he knew it was pure nonsense. Kobe is so rich now, wouldn't it be the same to arrange his wife to New York? Why did he have to go to the West Coast? !

Of course, Stern can't say this explicitly, because he knows that Bruce is not stupid. As long as he says that he wants to trade Kobe, it means that Kobe has absolutely no way out in New York, and he has to leave if he doesn't. Bruce told him that it was just an advance notice.

"Are more players involved?!" Stern asked the question in his heart.

"Well, there are quite a few. There are probably a few former All-Stars in there!" Bruce replied indifferently.

Iverson is also in the deal. Bruce won't say it. If he does, he will completely show off to Stern that he is secretly manipulating the Sonics. Bruce is not so stupid!

So he only said that he included a few former All-Stars, so Stern would definitely be relieved. It would not be too much of a loss to trade a future superstar for a few former All-Stars or even a draft pick. .

As long as the price of the deal matches, Stern will never veto it.

He believes that this deal will definitely shock the whole nation when it comes out, because everyone is watching the deal involving so many players!

"Okay, I see, do you have anything else to do?!" Stern asked, rubbing his head.

"Oh, and, just after the meeting, Mark Cuban found me. He wants to make a deal with Chinese players Hu Weidong and Wang Zhizhi and replace German Dirk Nowitzki!" Bruce is still so dissatisfied replied hastily.

"What?! No, I won't agree to this deal. Just kidding, Yao has already been chosen by you. If Mark sends Hu and Wangdu to the Han national team again, won't this become the Huaguo national team?! No, I am determined. Disagree!" Stern directly rejected without thinking.

Just playing the piano, he knew that Bruce is not a good bird. Look at the so many things he did when he came back to New York. First send Kobe away, and then turn the NBA team into the Huaguo national team. What is this? , this is an American professional team, you can't let you play like this Bruce.

If we do this, it is inevitable that players from other countries will not be together in the same team to form the national team lineup in the future. Bruce is provoking himself and the entire alliance!

Stern's idea at this meeting was that Bruce sent Kobe Bryant away to gather Chinese players to form the national team.

Now Stern is more and more suspicious of the possibility of Bruce doing this!

Heaven and earth conscience, there is no such thing!

Bruce knows the reason for Stern's excitement. It is indeed a bit outrageous. A team actually has three overseas players from one country. If Hu Weidong and Wang Zhizhi both start, wouldn't it become the Huaguo Men's Basketball Team? !

Not only Stern will object, I believe that all the owners of the league are against such an operation.

These Bruce already knew this ending after reaching an agreement with Cuban, but well, there are policies above and countermeasures below.

"Mr. President, calm down first and trade Hu Weidong and Wang Zhizhi. I'm not going to let them start. I can promise that only Dayao will be the starter for the Han people this season. Hu Weidong and Wang Zhizhi will not play with Dayao... "Bruce explained.

He really didn't plan to make Hu Weidong and Wang Zhizhi starters, because Hu Weidong has entered the end of his career. In addition, there was an injury last season, and it is still unknown if he can last in the NBA for a few years. It would be too embarrassing for Hu Weidong to start .
