NBA: Start with 2 billion, buy the Knicks

Chapter 19: Players rebel? Don’t want the salary anymore?

"overtake!"

"Superman!"

"Chaozi did bad things again today. As soon as the head coach returned to the team, he was dismissed! He will serve as the deputy general manager!"

The agents of each player dialed the phone numbers of their respective players.

Chris Duhon was a little puzzled by Jiang Chao’s operation:

"Is this new owner out of his mind? Is there a better choice besides D'Antoni now? Does he think he can get anyone to come here in New York?"

The agent also laughed and said: "Yeah, does he want Popovich, haha."

Nate Robinson in the discussion group was driving and playing with his phone:

"Wow, young and energetic?? What will we do next season with this operation!"

(Trivia: Nate Robinson is an acquaintance of the New York police officer and has violated traffic regulations many times.)

Eddy Curry: "What do we do? Do we go and beat him up?"

Big Q: “Are you sick??”

Starting point guard Du Hong: "The best choice now is to force him to stop messing around."

Starting shooting guard Larry Hughes: "Begging him to fire me! This way I can get a high buyout fee and I don't have to worry about a job."

Harrington: "I think so too... Whatever he does, just don't trade me blindly. It's better to buy me out."

"Yeah, buy us out and spend all the money."

Basically all the players and agents are thinking like this. Isn't your boss crazy? It seems that he is going to form a new lineup, so you can buy us out.

Buy them out and they'll get a lot of money right away and get a new job and sign a new job.

Unless the team hates or likes a veteran very much, they generally won't buy out a player.

David Lee and Italian cannon Gallinelli, who were still under their rookie contracts, trembled when they saw the veterans talking. Their contracts were not valuable, and they were very grateful to be selected by the Knicks. They just hoped to be safe.

"I want to show my new boss what I can do."

"Yes, maybe you can take the opportunity to put me in the starting lineup. I'm no weaker than Du Hong!"

Of course, there are also players at the end of the bench who hope the boss can reuse them, but they all have their own thoughts.

Suddenly, there was a lot of discussion among the players about the new boss, and reporters were looking for them all over the world to interview them. They wanted to put pressure on Jiang Chao through public opinion first.

The New York team is not something you can mess around with.

Players from other teams in the Eastern Conference came to watch the fun. Especially after there were rumors that Jiang Chao despised Riley, the Heat players came to see the excitement.

Being eliminated by the Hawks was already a big deal, so I just wanted to scold a bad team.

Dwyane Wade (Dwyane Wade): "I can't wait to beat the Knicks next season."

O'Neal Jr. also laughed and peed: "Does he have the right to say this? Without coach D'Antoni, your small lineup will be penetrated by me!"

Haslermo: "fxxk, you don't look down on Mr. Riley? Mr. Riley just retired, otherwise the trading market will fool you!"

Raptors star Bosh:

"As long as your record next season is as good as ours, come on!"

And Cavaliers star little emperor LeBron James always joins in the fun. He said directly:

"Being crazy has a price. Madison Square has always been the place where the emperor ascends the throne, and your players can only become the background."

This refers to the fact that he scored a career-high 50 points in Madison Square Garden last season. In addition, Kobe and Jordan both scored explosively in the basketball mecca. He has been constantly exaggerating his historical status.

Jiang Chao snorted coldly:

"If this guy wins the championship, why can't his butt stick up to the sky?"

But with him in charge in the east, the future king of the east will definitely not go out of the east all the time and want to ascend the throne and become a real businessman?

Let’s talk about it after you pass this test!

This season, Mouss was blocked from the finals by the same single-core Magic. This will probably be his last season with the Cavaliers.

Sure enough, the "outsiders" who spoke out against him are all like a snake and a rat, and they will all join forces next year.

People like Pierce and Parkinson of the Green Army, who are always talkative, mocked Jiang Chaoxin for being so tall, but his actual ability was 0.

Western Rockets general manager Morey also pretended to be a good person and gave Jiang Chao advice:

"The NBA is a world of sophistication. You can't be too extreme. If you need anything, call me and I will try my best to help you, a Chinese boss."

At this time, he was really full of hypocrisy. For the sake of Yao Ming's loyalty, he even lost his face.

........

Knicks Secretary's Office.

Jiang Chao is currently working face to face with Miss Liu Yan.

Because his office had already been renovated by students from Columbia University's School of Architecture, Jiang Chao simply asked them to do it as an internship. These students didn't pay much attention to it.

He can get paid and solve internship problems at the same time. This junior is so awesome that he immediately gained a lot of favor in the architecture institute.

Jiang Chao knew their level, so he just said a few words: simple, modern and simple.

The simpler it is, the better it reflects the design. His office must make himself comfortable.

You can't make yourself miserable if you have money, right?

If he wasn't too busy now, Jiang Chao would probably choose a luxury car first and let a chatty neighbor get into his car another day.

Since he didn't have an office for the time being, he was very easy-going and worked with his secretary. Liu Yan was distracted by the way he was working seriously.

Who would have thought that the crazy boss who is talked about by the outside world is actually such a mature, thoughtful and hard-working young man!

But she was also very busy, and hearing the curse words one after another made her mentally broken.

Finally he gave Jiang Chao a statistic.

That is, except for Gallinelli, Eddy Curry and several rookies and players on two-way contracts, all other rotation players and agents have called her.

"Huh? What did you say?" Jiang Chao thought it was quite funny. He hadn't done anything to them yet, but they were anxious first?

Sure enough, Liu Yan said something to break their defense, especially the three bombs of Jerome James, Luo Ye, and Nate Robinson, which directly threatened Jiang Chao.

"These three brothers... aren't you afraid that I'll do it to them first?"

All Jiang Chao knew about them was their stupid things and the explosives in the locker room, so when he first saw the Knicks' active lineup, he called these three people the three bombs.

"They threaten you not to mess with the team. They all have 2-3 year contracts. If you are fired, you will have to pay a high buyout fee..." Liu Yan told Jiang Chao the original words.

Hahahahaha!

Unexpectedly, Jiang Chao laughed heartily.

"Junior...you...are you okay?" Liu Yan really wanted to touch Jiang Chao's forehead. Isn't she crazy?

"It's okay. This is too straightforward. I didn't even mention a buyout, but they just wanted to buy it out."

Jiang Chao: Do ​​I look stupid? Damn it, everyone really thinks he doesn’t understand the labor contract???

It’s all bought out, and I can only sign 2 maximum salaries in my space, but what about the others?

Jiang Chao has already seen their salaries. The highest one is Eddy Curry's 10.5 million annual salary contract, which is still recovering from injury. There are only three players on the team with annual salaries of tens of millions.

Everyone else has a salary of five to six million, and if the buyout has to be paid to them all in one lump sum or even multiple times, they can still sign with other teams and make double the money.

Those who caused the trouble were all not worried about the future and didn't make any phone calls.

He bought and fired them without any reason, which is tantamount to giving away money.

In order to stop Liu Yan from worrying too much, Jiang Chao also briefly explained the buyout and labor contract to her, and expressed why these people were so nervous.

In fact, part of the reason was to secretly provoke Jiang Chao into expelling him.

Players can never leave their jobs voluntarily within the contract. Unless you pay more than 10 times the liquidated damages at one time, you have to obey all the team's arrangements. Of course, even if you are injured or career reimbursement, you can still get your salary comfortably during the contract period.

Today's players abide by this very much, until the emergence of Renner and others later changed the direction of the trend, causing many stars to actively engage in awkward situations and not playing to force the team to trade, pretending to be sick and not playing, and so on. Fortunately, now

The players of the era are still very tough, otherwise Jiang Chao would be even more difficult to deal with.

Players, head coaches, and general managers are all different. They are strictly protected by the NBA.

If the team can fire a player just by saying it is fired, like some small companies without even any compensation, how can the player's rights be protected?

For example, if you are injured, I will cut you off, and then I will sign you two years later after you have recovered. How can a player make money in a career that lasts only seven or eight years?

However, the protection of the NBA also protects the rights and interests of the bosses...

Liu Yan accepted the knowledge obediently, and said happily with wide and shining eyes:

"So that's it! So they want to fire you, and firing requires a high buyout fee. Popular players like Harrington can get paid immediately and find a new job!"

Jiang Chao looked lovingly at Liu Yan who understood immediately and said with a smile:

"Yes, Harrington is Downey Sr.'s protégé. The Pacers and Downey Sr. will welcome him when they find a new job. The other players are also role players who can be used. They don't want to give me a job. They want to

You're trying to steal my money."

"Boss, can we just ignore them?" Liu Yan admired this junior more and more. Isn't this too understandable?

She was stunned for a moment after being deceived by those agents.

"Yes, they all have my office phone number, why do they only dare to call the secretary's office to convey the news?"

"Offline Chaozi, offline Chaobo?" Liu Yan covered her mouth and smiled. This was a joke they had in the past two days. There were many online messages scolding Jiang Chaozi, "You are not a human being, you have no heart and so on."

And when Jiang Chaozhen opened a fan channel and allowed fans to communicate with him via video, all those fans were more like a brother than a boss. They admired him so much, okay?

This is also related to Jiang Chao's personal temperament. He always feels that he has experienced time travel, so what is there to be afraid of? Therefore, everything he does is done with ease.

Players have broken defenses like this, and he can also analyze their underlying reasons.

This is a test to see if he can really run a team. If it is true, then it's fine. Just continue to get paid and play for the Knicks. If he puts up good numbers, their next contract will be higher.

If you really don't know how to run a team, then you are welcome to be fired! Wouldn't it be nice to just get an extra year or two of salary?

What a mess, they don’t have the guts!

Just like Jiang Chao said to Liu Yan, if they don’t come to the team to report after the preseason.

The Players Association will punish you.

The NBA will fine you.

Moreover, the management can choose not to pay wages because they are the ones causing the trouble.

*(This is the conclusion that Jiang Chao came to by referring to Simmons and Irving in his previous life. After checking the league rules, it turns out that if you are paid, you have to play games, unless you can produce a disability certificate from the New York City Hospital or the team's medical team.)

Jiang Chao, who has experienced the Ou Shenxian and Xidi incidents, thinks they are all childish. The Knicks players are at least genuine. Boss Tsai Chongxin is communicating with the gods. Can he communicate with them? He is a god!

Forced to have a baby in front of me?

If I give you money, work hard and don't scream!

Even if the boss's father is only 3 years old, he is still the most awesome.

Want to rebel? You don’t want the salary anymore!

"If there are still calls, please give my phone number to these people and ask them to contact me if they have anything to do. Don't waste your time."

Liu Yan nodded in agreement and said in a voice like a silver bell: "Okay!"

The afternoon passed.

Jiang Chao is right.

No matter how they questioned it in front of the media or scolded the new boss in private for being stupid and incompetent.

No one dares to call Jiang Chao personally!

you.

It’s not too hard!

Liu Yan became more and more impressed by this junior...

This is too hardcore!

A Chinese boss faced the protests of a large group of American employees!

.......

That night.

When Jiang Chao was eating steak in the cafeteria.

Nate Robinson, the little potato in the team's MSN chat group, couldn't hold back.

The drunkard posted an awesome video of him passing the entire audience in 3 seconds while drunk.

Then a bunch of players gave a thumbs up in an instant.

Mr. Luo even @JiangChao.

This is a hint that Jiang Chao should make a decision on these players as soon as possible. You have taken advantage of so many people, so it’s time to take a look at us.

Then Jiang Chao said something and blocked the group:

"Have a good time fishing and put your tail away."

Jiang Chao's toughness exceeds everyone's imagination. Generally speaking, a 20-year-old Chinese boy would be more relaxed when chatting with these big-players. Jiang Chao directly asked people to put away their fox tail, and the culture was crushed...

"I'll take care of you later."

Jiang Chao turned off the screen and picked up the tableware next to Downey Jr.'s 2009 draft predictions and scouting report...
