I Am a Nobleman in England

Remember in a second【】

It turned out that in July 2008, the Nets sent point guard Marcus Williams to the Warriors for a 2011 lottery-protected first-round pick. However, since the Warriors believe that this pick will have greater utility this year, it is hoped that the Nets can agree to exchange it for a similar pick in 2012, and as compensation for this extension, they are willing to send two more. A future second-round pick.

To be honest, the lottery protection of the first-round pick in 2011 is not much different from that in 2012. If you agree to the Warriors' plan, you can get two more second-round picks in the future. There is really no reason to refuse.

"So why are the Warriors losing money like this?"

After Miles explained the antecedent clearly, Arthur asked with a slight frown.

"According to what I have learned, this move of the Warriors should be related to the future of forward Stephen Jackson. Earlier, "Captain Jack" once let the media say that he hoped that the Warriors would trade themselves to the Houston Rockets, Dallas Mavericks, San Antonio Spurs , or a team like the New York Knicks, was fined $25,000 by the league.

The Warriors now decide to keep this 2011 lottery-protected first-round pick, probably hoping to package this pick with Jackson to complete a certain deal.

Although previously, the Warriors have solemnly stated that they have no intention of trading Jackson. However, according to insiders, it's not that the Warriors don't want to trade Jackson, but the latter's remaining four-year $35 million contract makes the Warriors unable to find a suitable next home. "

Miles smiled and told his young boss about the tricky relationship, while Arthur's eyes lit up slightly, and he smiled and said to Miles who was showing a sly fox-like smile: "Look at your smile, is there something wrong? idea?"

"Hehe, I really can't hide it from the boss." Miles chuckled, and said with bright eyes: "The Nets want to rebuild, we need a real head star, the current superstar basically can't be drawn into our team, unless we Only by offering a sky-high contract can we attract..."

"Impossible. I won't use dollars to build a superstar team. Such a team can be brilliant for a while, but it's unhealthy, like a castle in the air." The wind blows.

"Yes, I don't agree either, so we need to cultivate our own superstars, and superstars need good seedlings, so I think we can take advantage of the opportunity of the Warriors' transaction, and we can join in and complete a multi-party transaction. Get an excellent point guard or power forward that we need most at present." Myers naturally knows what his new boss thinks.

"Huh? Do you already have a candidate?" Arthur's eyes lit up,

He had known Bob Myers' magical trading ability for a long time, but he didn't expect to see his magical handwriting so soon.

"Yes, the first choice is the Warriors rookie Stephen Curry, but he played too well. Unless the Warriors' management is crazy, he will be traded to us, so the hope is very slim, but I will give it a try. try."

Hearing Curry's name, Arthur became interested. In the post-Kobe era, Curry was the name he heard the most in his previous life. He is a superstar. If he can be traded, tsk tsk, the Nets will be in the next ten years Don't worry.

"You must try. If you don't try, how will you know the result? Even if you don't succeed in the end, there is no loss for us. You can tell Curry that as long as he comes to the Nets, I will give him a big contract of 50 million in four years. , he is the boss of the Nets!" Arthur was never stingy with Golden Phoenix.

Hearing the terms thrown out by the young boss, Myers' eyes flashed with brilliance. He didn't expect that the boss would be so generous, but he also knew that it was really difficult for Curry, who had already played well, to get the Nets. Great, but luckily he has alternatives.

"Understood, boss, I will do my best. If Curry is not the first choice, I have another alternative, that is James Harden of the Thunder. He is also a talented player and a future superstar... "

With a familiar name, Arthur nodded with satisfaction and said with a smile: "Very well, you can handle these things yourself, and I will wait for your good news."

Arthur was very satisfied with Bob Myers' bold thinking. Only in this way would his Nets have a future. Then Arthur and Myers began to discuss the specific details of the Nets.

"Myers, now the outside world has ridiculed the two of us for nothing. If we want to dispel the doubts and ridicule of the outside world, we must show results. By the way, how did the fans of the Nets respond?" Arthur said to New York , and even the American media, to be honest, they have no good impressions at all. These two days they have almost ridiculed him, and Taylor Swift has also been implicated, saying something to keep the country queen away from the British Fool.

"The fans still hold a positive view and attitude towards our entry. After all, the Nets in the past were rotten and can't be rotten anymore. All fans hope that your arrival can bring new life to the Nets. As long as you don't As bad as before, I think the fans will continue to support us." Myers replied truthfully, "As for the pressure of public opinion from the outside world, you don't need to care about it at all. In order to attract attention and promote sales, they have no basis at all. As long as we do our own thing well, it will lose popularity over time.”

"Haha..." Arthur shook his head and chuckled noncommittally, narrowing his eyes slightly and said with a smile: "It's not what I want to see, losing popularity. Popularity means exposure, and exposure means popularity. Turned into commercial profits, look at the Knicks, their reputation is even worse, but they are indeed the team with the highest commercial value in the NBA

^0^ Remember in a second【】

, Therefore, not only can we not let the heat drop, but we also need to hype it well. . . "

Arthur smiled at the corner of his mouth, with a pair of bright eyes exuding sly eyes, and told the thoughtful Myers: "In this way, although we will not spend a lot of money to buy active superstars, we can make our minds come true." Those super veterans, such as Shaquille O’Neal, AI Iverson, I think, if they can come to our Nets, even as a substitute, as long as they play, they will attract many fans to buy tickets and enter the stadium, you say Well, and the veteran is cheap!"

"Ahem..." Myers twitched the corner of his mouth, coughed twice, and said with a slightly embarrassed smile: "Boss, Shaquille O'Neal is too old. As for Iverson, he can consider it, but he may not be able to." Accepting the invitation, he may not be interested in a veteran contract, and he has a very bad temper, and his status can only hover between second-rate players and first-rate players. If he spends too much time playing for a long time, he will be excluded by many players. It will cause internal discord, once playing time is less, he will be dissatisfied..."

"Haha, don't be afraid, the big shark is a living sign of the NBA. If he chooses to retire when he is in our team, the popularity of our Nets will definitely go up to a higher level. O'Neal is a smart, very experienced big guy. I think he It will help our team, and the most important thing is that the price is cheap, but what it will bring us is definitely worth the money!"

Arthur really values ​​a representative veteran like O'Neal. Michael Jordan has been around for a long time. For the new generation of young people, the ok combination of the Los Angeles Lakers, Shaquille O'Neal, and Black Mamba Kobe are the ones they are most familiar with. NBA superstars, especially their popularity in the world, are the living signs of NBA.

As for the answer to Iverson, let alone, in the minds of many fans, that is an answer, a legend, he himself has various problems, but this does not hinder the value he has, the key still depends on how to squeeze his worth.

"As for Iverson, you can tell him frankly that what we ask of him, I believe, he should know better than anyone else that his era has passed. If you don't accept the reality, you can only leave the NBA. I think, leave NBA is the most unacceptable thing for him, he will think it through."

"Okay, boss, I will contact the agents of these two people, but, boss, you have to be mentally prepared, the media will definitely ridicule us, sign the old, weak, sick and disabled, the future of the Nets is dark and so on... "

"Haha, let them be black, neither black nor popular, the more black you are, the more famous you are, and the popularity is more important than anything else. Also, tell the marketing department that when O'Neill and Iverson come, immediately increase the advertising costs, especially the Chinese ones. Enterprises, I think, they will be very happy to pay for Tianchaoyi, haha..."

Arthur, who understands the situation of China very well, but understands that Sharks, Iverson and Space Yi as teammates will cause huge repercussions in China. The Chinese companies that own money will rush to give him money.

"Hehe, after we announced that we would not trade with Tianchaoyi, in the past two days, many Chinese companies have called to inquire about advertising cooperation. I have to say that the commercial value of Tianchaoyi really surprised me." Meier Thinking of the cooperation calls from Chinese companies he had received, Si said with emotion from the bottom of his heart, looking at the young boss in front of him with admiration.

"Haha, don't worry, Tianchao Yi, the cash cow, must be raised for me. When Tianchao Yao retires, he will be a trump card in our hands. The Rockets' owner Alexander can rely on Tianchao Yao to double his worth, and we can also rely on Tianchao Yi. , become the second rocket!" Arthur knows better than anyone else that Dayao will not be retiring for long, and by then, Dakongyi will be the only one in the NBA in China, and its commercial value, tsk tsk, can wake up from a dream.
