NBA: Start with 2 billion, buy the Knicks

Chapter 101: Throw away five million, just to get through the back door

"After eating, don't waste it."

Finally, they finished eating the whole family bucket, and Ah Lian said that he would have to go to the gym for a whole day tomorrow.

"The results should be available tomorrow, let's wait for the good news."

Jiang Chao patted Ah Lian's broad shoulder, and Ah Lian finally smiled.

Before the three of them separated, Yi Jianlian couldn't help but turn around and shout in Chinese:

"Boss Jiang Chao, you said you wanted Captain Yao, is that true?"

"What do you think?" Jiang Chao gave him a playful expression, which filled Yi Jianlian's heart with anticipation.

If playing in a Chinese team will make him comfortable and secure, playing next to Yao, let alone the Mobile Great Wall team that dominated the Olympics last year, is no joke.

Ah Lian's introverted character means that he is open-minded when he is with his own people. But if they are all strangers, it is actually difficult to blend in.

…

The next day.

The Nets and Knicks launched secret negotiations in Las Vegas.

Sean Marks directly said that I want what you don’t want, and Yi Jianlian set the price.

Nets general manager Vandeweghe and vice president Elle also guessed it.

In addition, Yi applied to them for a trade last night, saying that I am still young and I don't want to mess with the team. If there is a suitable opportunity, they can choose to trade me.

Then they also know that this player cannot be retained.

The two teams coincidentally coincide with each other.

A Lian is also a player that the Nets coaching staff says is indispensable. It is okay to get Jerome to add a heavy tank inside.

Sean Marks also kept raising the price for Jerome, saying that he was very high-spirited and that he didn't want to play in the Summer League, but in the end he just crushed him.

General Manager Vandeweghe is not a fool. The average data per game is too different. Although the salary is balanced, no matter the performance or data last season, it cannot be said that it can be discussed in Summer League. They also need to use appropriate transactions to provide them with

The boss and the fans explained it.

Yi Jianlian has brought a little bit of the Chinese market to New Jersey, but it doesn't mean that their management can just throw it away.

To put it simply, it means giving money or people.

Vandeweghe asked for cash compensation or a swap in the first round next year.

Sean Marks said that 2 million in cash compensation is okay. Half of the Arab League salary means that you only need to give Jerome an annual salary of more than 2 million to use this insider.

Apparently Vandeweghe thought it was too little, and wanted to talk to Jiang Chao directly, because they all knew that Jiang Chao was a rich man and he offered a high price.

As a last resort, Sean called Jiang Chao.

Jiang Chao first said: "Mr. Vandeweghe, our neighbors in New York and New Jersey are all harmonious and friendly, and we help each other."

Vandeweghe is also very good at talking:

"I am also doing this for the sake of my neighbors. Yi Jianlian and you are a native of China. People think you are using the back door. Why don't you switch to other players? Our team can sell everyone except Lopez."

His words were vaguely threatening, meaning that if you don't want it, other teams will want it too. If you just want yi, you can't pay the price like this.

Jiang Chao: "For your future, it's okay to bear the infamy. Leave this hot potato to me. This back door, I'm gone. How can there be no Chinese players in my team, don't you think so?"

This is purely half-truth and half-false. If there were Chinese players in the real team, Jiang Chao would have signed many CBA players on the free market long ago. He still needs to be qualified to play in the NBA.

"Boss Jiang, you are so generous in buying the second round, why are you restraining your compatriots?"

Seeing that the counteroffer failed, Jiang Chao stopped writing:

"Let's see, I'll just buy another second-round pick of Jerome James for 5 million in exchange for your 2010 second-round pick. It's a fixed price. If we don't talk about it, I'll be waiting for the naked signing next season."

Since the exchange with Mr. Pu, Jiang Chao's speaking skills have become more and more refined. The first half of the sentence will seduce you, and the second half will force you to agree.

Yes, when Yi goes to the free market, do you think I will sign him? Then you will draw water from a bamboo basket and get nothing.

Now at least he can get 5 million in cash compensation and a heavy tank backup center.

Yi will only be 25 years old after this rookie season ends, and his proactive attitude in proposing a trade last night has proved that there will be nothing wrong with the Nets at that time.

He will definitely not renew his contract with the Nets and will directly fall into the arms of New York.

General Manager Vandeweghe and Vice President Elle looked at each other on the other end of the phone.

5 million US dollars?

My heart is moved!

In the second round, they have plenty. They received one through a trade the year before last, and the Magic also gave one to the Magic this year. So although their own pick may be higher in the second round, it doesn't mean that they can't give it.

"Is it a deal? This is your chance." Sean Marks looked at the two of them at the scene and knocked on the table.

Jiang Chao also finally said: "Sell us a favor, maybe Jerome can improve your current situation."

The New Jersey Nets have suffered operating losses every year. If they are not destroyed, they will become real neighbors in a year or two. Therefore, Jiang Chao's operation actually indirectly caused them to leave New Jersey.

"make a deal."

"Okay." Several people discussed some details and signed, and the deal was concluded!

The three of them shook hands. After Jiang Chao hung up the phone, he punched the air with a combination of punches. It was so cool!

Wow, cool!

Done!

The biggest regret for Chinese fans in the future is now in their own arms!

With him here, the No. 1 power forward in Asia's history will definitely not have any regrets in the NBA!

Why don't they talk to me about feelings? They think this is just for feelings!

Because both parties are in Las Vegas, it will take some time for the news to spread, and it will have to be faxed to the league for signature.

So both sides told each other's players immediately,

Nets Vice President Elle approached Yi Jianlian with a smile:

"Hey, as you wished, you were traded. I wish you all the best in New York and don't lose the face of our Nets players!"

Yi Jianlian's eyes were red after hearing the news. Is this Jiang Chao's efficiency?

"Don't worry, I will never forget your kindness in freeing me from the Bucks. Thanks for taking care of me last year. I will fight it out."

"Come on." Vice President Elle didn't say much, and left after completing the handover procedures.

After all, this is not the rookie chosen by the Nets, so there is really not much emotion to say about it.

After he left, Morgan's agent went up and hugged Ah Lian:

"Hey, Yi, what kind of ecstasy did you pour into that Jiang? You actually made him pay such a high price!"

Shocked old man!

For a center with a contract of 5 million for one year, the Nets made a small profit!

Is this still the boss Jiang that I couldn't get in touch with before?

"Because, Chinese people don't lie to Chinese people, haha."

Yi Jianlian was eager to put on the Knicks jersey. He did not tell Morgan what happened last night because he also discovered that many things did not go smoothly with Morgan around.

Jiang Chao, the young boss, is really a prophet. If Morgan is really involved, something might happen.

It was Morgan who kept asking him to seek deals due to his poor operating performance, but he always believed that there was a reason why Jiang Chao let Big Q and others contact him in the first place.

Sure enough, if we don’t meet, we will settle everything directly!

Awesome!!!

"Let's go, can we go directly to the Knicks to report? Let's play Game 3 of Summer League for them!" Yi Jianlian's performance in the last game was too poor, and this time he is eager to prove himself in front of all the Knicks fans.

…

Here Jerome James was nibbling a large white steamed bun coated with honey in the nightclub. After hearing what the manager said, the owner of the steamed bun screamed after taking one bite.

"Get out of here!"

In his rage, he overturned everything.

I was deceived!

Were Jiang Chao and Stevens just having fun last night? It was rare that he fought to the death, but he didn’t expect that he would be traded in exchange???

At this time, Mustache entered here holding his nose. He came here specifically to inform Jerome, adhering to Boss Jiang Chao's philosophy, to get together and part ways as easily as possible.

He just talked about why the Nets need him and wished him better and better in the Nets.

"What nonsense! If I were worth more, he would offer 5 million??? Why don't you give me 5 million?"

Jerome didn't curse because of last year's head coach's mustache, but he was extremely irritable.

broker:

"Forget it, the Nets are in bad shape, let's brush up some data and try to sign a good contract in the contract year."

Jerome James thought the same thing, pointed at the mustache and said:

"Tell your management, you have lost your strongest human shield center, and you will be beaten inside in the new season."

D'Antoni is also considered elegant, and he would have walked away as a young coach:

"You don't need to worry about this. Goodbye."

What I’m thinking is: This bad contract is finally gone, it’s great!

Last year he coached two strong centers in Jerome and Eddy Curry, and he was almost annoyed to death because of the foul problems.

He is beginning to like Jiang Chao's team building policy more and more now.

Get out of here, sir.

Although young people are inexperienced, they are obedient and energetic. How wonderful!

…

New York.

Empire State Building.

nba league.

"Wow, this kid, I knew he could trade."

David Stern signed the trade application, and he found that he liked the young man more and more.

New York Chinese Market.

A sports market like Houston can develop into something like a Chinese home team...

He already had a premonition that New York's Chinatown would be filled with posters of Yi Jianlian.

You know, Yi Jianlian forced David Stern to change the All-Star rules. It seemed that he was overwhelmed by the Yao people, but in his rookie season, he directly surpassed Garnett in All-Star votes... It scares me to death.

As a result, the league issued a bunch of rules to sanction fan voting.

Now that this guy has come to New York, it is even possible that he can become an All-Star through the market.

Vice President Ryan also gave a thumbs up:

"I'm convinced that a stupid pig like Jerome can be traded away. That's awesome."

"Haha, it's not enough to carry like that last night."

"Given so many ball rights, my grandpa can score 20!"

But people outside the circle don’t think so. Everyone’s first thought is the same:

"The crazy boss is making deals for his own benefit, and the connections from New York are here!"

"Yi was traded to New York, but the Chinese boss still prefers Chinese people!"

"Feel sad for Ibaka and David Lee!"

The New York Times still has the same temperament:

"Throwing away 5 million, just to get through the back door!"
