Chapter 1632 I Want Jordan!

Or else, in a country like the United States, rich people are the boss?

5 days!

Just five days later, the US CNN television news network announced that the North American branch of Kirin Group had fully acquired the New York Knicks of the NBA Eastern Conference for US$32 million.

Since then, the New York Knicks have had the surname Yin.

On this day, the North American branch of the Kirin Group announced that in the new season, the New York Knicks will be renamed the New York Kirin.

Although many fans objected, saying that the New York Knicks have never changed their name in so many years, and now they are changing their name as soon as the new owner comes, which goes against the tradition of the team.

They called on Yin Jun to respect tradition and not change the name of the team, otherwise they would unite with fan organizations to refuse to watch the game.

Yin Jun scoffed at this.

Am I going to be threatened by you guys?

More than one NBA team has changed its name.

Wouldn’t the Washington Bullets be changed to the Washington Wizards?

Wasn't the Kings also called the Rochester Royals at first, and then changed their names several times before becoming the current Kings?

The Charlotte Hornets were called the Bobcats before 2014 - the Bobcats also appeared in "Speed". The heroine wore a T-shirt from the Bobcats, so the villain called her the Pussycat Wildcats, and finally Biji Nurivis noticed and learned that he was monitored by a camera on the bus, and made great contributions to the final successful escape.

Moreover, whether the team has spectators to watch or not will always only be related to the stars the team has and the results it has achieved.

All these trivial matters have to be entangled, Yin Jun can only say, you Americans are really full and have nothing to do, why should I care about you?

Therefore, the New York Kylins issued a firm statement that this is the will of the team owner, and no one can interfere with the sacred power of private property conferred by this law.

Well, seeing Yin Jun all on the line, these people were speechless.

Originally, the New York Kylins are his private property. Does what he does have anything to do with you?

But some stubborn people felt that Yin Jun was too barbaric and arrogant, so they started to gang up on each other, wanting to really boycott the New York Kirins and let them see how powerful the fans were, so that they would respect them more in the future.

Yin Jun can't control so much.

He immediately called the team's manager Andy Nowitzki over.

Nowitzki is definitely not the best manager in the NBA, but he has done a pretty good job in the past two years, especially after the meritorious coach retired, he can still maintain the situation, and he can be regarded as an above-average talent. Yin Jun I don't want to replace him yet.

Otherwise, the best choice should be the Celtics' president, manager and head coach - the "red leader" Auerbach.

It's just that Auerbach has unparalleled power in the Celtics and has built such a Celtic team with huge advantages. He will not leave hastily just when it is ready to achieve results.

The second founder of the Bulls dynasty, the talented draft manager Krause who selected superstars such as Jordan, Pippen, and Rodman, is actually the one Yin Jun wants to poach.

But after his previous contact with Yin Jun's people, he was not optimistic about the New York Kirin team, so he rejected Yin Jun's invitation.

Jerry West of the Lakers is also very good, but he is doing well in the Lakers and has great power. He is not interested in a rash change of environment, so he also refused.

With no other choice, Yin Jun could only make do with Nowitzki first.

Anyway, what Yin Jun needs now is just a manager who can sort out the internal structure and take care of ordinary affairs, not someone with too many ideas.

Being summoned by a new boss for the first time, and a powerful super genius like Yin Jun, Nowitzki felt a little panicked.

On the first day he came here, Yin Jun changed the name of the team directly without consulting anyone. This approach really showed the strength of super geniuses and super rich people.

This is also a warning given by Yin Jun to everyone. If you want to confront him, there may not be a good ending.

Americans care more about their jobs than Chinese people.

Especially those at middle and senior levels are under great pressure all day long because they are afraid of losing their jobs.

Nowitzki's annual salary exceeds 100,000 US dollars, which is the highest-paid mid-level salary in the United States in this era. He does not want the boss to take action on him first after taking over the team.

"Go and get these three players for me. No matter what the cost, I must see them in the training camp of the new season." This is what Yin Jun said in the first sentence of the meeting.

Holding the information in his hand, Nowitzki frowned when he saw the first copy.

After reading the second and third copies, he said: "Barkley is a little more difficult, but we can still get a top-five draft pick with next year's pick. Stockton, a small man, although he controls There is a lot of potential at guard, but it is estimated that the ranking is not high, and we can get it with our own draft picks.

Only this Jordan has been hailed as the most promising shooting guard. He has been the brightest star in the university for several consecutive years, dazzling more than many others. So as early as last year, before he decided to participate in the draft, many team managers approached him, including me. But Jordan himself had not decided yet.

Besides, given our current conditions, it is still very difficult to get Jordan! Because he is either the No. 1 pick, the No. 2 pick, or the No. 3 pick... it's hard to get third place. And even if we take out next year's draft picks, I'm afraid we won't be able to get a top-three pick. "

"Then what solution do you have?" Yin Jun asked.

Nowitzki knows that this is the time when he must show his true skills.

He pondered for a moment and said: "If you really want Jordan, then one of the Trail Blazers and Bulls must be able to select him. After all, the Houston Rockets, who selected the first pick in the first round, are already firmly prepared. We need Olajuwon. If we want to be safer, we can choose to trade with the Trail Blazers and let them come up with the second pick, and we will definitely get Jordan."

The current NBA rules are not like they will be in the future. The lottery will be based on performance to determine who gets the No. 1 pick. It will not be implemented until next year.

Now that the lottery method has determined the selection order for this year, Yin Jun does not need to worry about the specific matters.

Yin Jun didn't know who was ranked second in 1984, but Jordan, the third-ranked prospect, remembered it clearly.

But the teenager didn't try to correct Nowitzki. If he could get Jordan with the second pick, what's wrong with that?

It doesn't matter if you spend more money, the most important thing is to get Jordan in your hands.

Yin Jun nodded slightly and asked, "How to trade?"

Nowitzki's face was sweating, but he finally gritted his teeth and said, "The Trail Blazers lack shooting guards and excellent small forwards... Our team's Bernard King is the strongest small forward in the league. One, who was traded last year, averaged 26.3 points in the regular season, and now averages more than 40 points per game in the playoffs. He is definitely a strong contender for the small forward of this year's best team. If we come up with If Bernard King exchanged the second pick with them, the Blazers would definitely be willing."

Small forward?

Yin Jun frowned.

Among the lineups I designed, before Pippen came, there was a lack of a good small forward.

Now that we have such an outstanding small forward in our team, wouldn't it be a pity to trade him out?

"Are there no other candidates?" Yin Jun asked thoughtfully.

Seeing Yin Jun's appearance, Nowitzki breathed a sigh of relief.

As long as the boss doesn't have his own way.

"We can offer one of Marvin Webster or Bill Cartwright, and on the condition that we bear their three-year contract salary, the Trail Blazers will agree," Nowitzki said. , "It's just that we need to pay an extra amount of money to the players to get them to agree to the transfer. Then the three-year salary plus taxes exceeds 1.5 million US dollars, which is not a small burden."

The salaries of current NBA players are not high.

In the 1950s, their annual salary was only US$2,000-5,000.

In the 1960s, superstars like the x god Chamberlain only had an annual salary of 100,000.

The two New York Knicks stars earn more than 200,000 yuan a year, which is already very good.

There is no one in the entire league with an annual salary of 1 million.

After Jordan came back for the second time, his income of 34.5 million US dollars now sounds like a fantasy.

However, Jordan's salary is also the highest in the NBA, and it will not be broken until after 2010.

"Money is not an issue." Yin Jun said, "That's it!"

"good!"

A smile appeared on Nowitzki's face.

Although the boss is a little more forceful, he can spend money easily, which is a big advantage. It seems that the team will have an easier time in the future.

Having money may not necessarily lead the team well, but having no money certainly cannot lead the team well.

"As for Jordan's own wishes, have you thought of any ideas?" Yin Jun asked.

"I don't know about this yet," Nowitzki said. "I went to see him twice, but he and his family were very cautious and polite to everyone, but they didn't make any promises. I think He’s looking for a price.”

"Awaiting price?"

Yin Jun laughed.

I'm afraid he himself doesn't know Jordan's character as clearly as Yin Jun.

When he was a player, he could unite the players to negotiate with the league and go on strike without a salary increase.

Then after he acquired an NBA team and became the team owner, he resolutely led the owners to suppress the players' demands for a salary increase without giving in.

Such people don’t like money the most, so what do they like?

When the basketball god is off the court, he is just an ordinary money-loving person.

In fact, it's just like celebrities. If you remove the halo from them, sometimes they are not as good as ordinary people!
