NBA: Start with 2 billion, buy the Knicks

Chapter 20: Curry is here! Will history repeat itself?

Again.

The focus now is on the draft after the finals.

Only Jiang Chao knew that the finals would end soon. The Magic, who looked very strong, were exposed by the Lakers 4-1 because of their garbage back line.

Therefore, Jiang Chao was very pressed for time and had no time to watch them jump up and down.

He is not a god. He must prepare a wave of preparations first. When the storm in the little green house comes, he must be fully prepared.

He is not worried about late-stage trades in the lineup.

The free market has been open for a long time, but the draft and trading of draft picks only last a dozen days.

Of course, the head coach and general manager must also be selected, otherwise David Stern will have to knock on their door with a knife.

Thinking of this, he called Teacher Lu over:

"Well, why don't we immediately confirm that the head coach and general manager are okay?"

Lao Lu has just returned from class. He is wearing a white shirt and thin-rimmed glasses, but he looks full of energy, as if he is several years younger:

"No problem. I studied the NBA regulations thoroughly last night. It's okay to not confirm the team management before the preseason. It's just that no team has ever done this. Boss Jiang, are you sure you don't want to find a puppet?"

What?"

Obviously Lao Lu also knows the news that players and the media are very dissatisfied with Jiang Chao. Isn't the reason why there is no one in these two positions? Now it seems that Jiang Chao has the final say.

"Okay, Teacher Lu, just call me Xiao Jiang. In front of you, I will always be a student." Jiang Chao felt a little uncomfortable being called Boss Jiang, and touched his nose and said.

"Okay, then do you want me to call the scouts to find a suitable head coach and general manager?" Lao Lu has a very high status in the team now. After all, he asked the boss to call him "teacher" and a group of people took the initiative to chat with him.

What!

"That's not what I'm talking about. Am I afraid of being scolded? Or am I not scolded enough? If I use a puppet and replace it after a while, I will be criticized even more. It's better to be honest."

Jiang Chao smiled.

But Lao Lu heard the meaning of the words...

Looking at this situation, Jiang Chao will not always be the acting general manager? There is obviously a suitable candidate, but he has been staying at home these days and has no idea who he is looking for.

His suggestion is that if you use a puppet to the end, it will be an empty commander, and Jiang Chao will operate it.

"Xiao Jiang, I think since you have done everything yourself, why not try to control it to the end this season and try the results?" Lao Lu supports Jiang Chao. He has already acted so vigorously and resolutely, so why not do it to the end?

"I still have a lot of things to do later. From now on, I should be in charge of the general direction and leave the small details to them." Jiang Chao explained.

After traveling to this era, there are many things that can be done. The stars and the sea are waiting for him. The NBA is just the beginning. He has not yet had time to start his business ambitions from the sports industry.

Now Lao Lu couldn't see through it anymore, and subconsciously thought that Jiang Chao must have not had enough fun. Young people should be able to pick up girls, go to bars, and play World of Warcraft. They understand.

Liu Yan also said next to her: "Yes, quarreling with players is not something that is done by the boss at all. I think other bosses are resolved by the general manager."

Then he told Lao Lu about the phone calls he received from players in the afternoon.

Speaking of this, Lao Lu became interested again:

"Xiao Jiang, you are not cruel enough. People like this have to be put on the shelves and sold at low prices."

Jiang Chao spread his hands: "If you continue to be shameless, I will do this."

As expected, Lao Lu has studied it thoroughly. The way a boss really insults a player is not to buy it out, but to put it on the shelf and sell it at a low price.

There is also a dnp for you during the contract period, the salary will be paid, stop playing, try not to play for two years, the superstar will become a passerby!

Of course, this is also a lose-lose outcome. If it is sold at a low price, he will definitely not get anything good, but the psychological insult to the players will be even greater.

"It's not that far yet."

Jiang Chao has a plan in mind, and everything will have to wait until the day of the draft.

Otherwise, if he fails to do his best and ends up rotting in his hands, he will never look up or down again, and the players will have no intention of playing for him.

"Why?" Liu Yan transformed into a studious baby and came here wearing school uniform today.

"It's like opening a supermarket. There will definitely be customers when it opens, but it's useless if no one buys the items inside. So we have to wait until there are best-selling products before opening."

"Oh~" the senior sister said thoughtfully. As a non-fan, she needs to brush up on her basketball knowledge.

Here, Lao Lu also said that if nothing happened, he would leave first, but he was worried that Jiang Chao would get into trouble with the players, so he turned back and blinked:

"By the way, boss, in fact, if you want to punish them, there are two clauses in the alliance law that allow you to do so."

"oh?"

Lao Lu explained.

Severance terms:

The team will receive a one-time release quota that can be used to release a player (or be used on the contract of a player who has already been released).

The player continues to receive salary from the team, and the salary continues to be included in the team's total salary. The only special thing is that the player's salary will be deducted from the team's total salary when calculating the luxury tax.

The team cannot re-sign the player after the severance agreement expires.

Players who are laid off are not allowed to transfer or sign after the end of the season.

Part of the income from the dismissed player's new contract will be returned to the original dismissal team.

Prohibited Drugs Clause

During the regular season, all players will be subject to 4 random drug checks. Once found using competitive drugs, they will be banned for 10 games, the second time will be 25 games, the third time will be a full season, and the fourth time will be a lifetime ban.

If found guilty of taking marijuana, he will be required to undergo treatment for the first time and be fined US$25,000 for the second time. The suspension period will be increased by 5 games each time thereafter.

“Fuck, that’s awesome!!”

Jiang Chao held out his thumb. He immediately understood what Lao Lu meant. It was legal to use off-board moves. You could use them if you really couldn't bear it.

Instable elements like Nate and Luo Ye, they definitely had some encounters in the off season...

"Thank you, Teacher Lu. You are indeed a teacher! I will keep my back up!"

Jiang Chao marveled at Lao Lu's learning speed. You must know that he had never touched basketball before, but his attitude towards work was invincible!

Maybe it's all because of the Chinese, some of the ideas and ways of thinking are similar, Jiang Chao wants to give his recruitment a thumbs up more and more.

"It's your job, come on!!"

............

As soon as Lao Lu left, Little Downey knocked on the door.

When I walked in and saw Liu Yan in school uniform, bending over her waist to pour tea for Jiang Chao, I was stunned for a second, and then relieved, the boss is also of this age, and it is normal to play with a school girl.

Then I pretended not to see it and went directly to the topic:

"Boss, many rookies this year have come over, including several lottery picks. I arranged for them to sleep in the staff dormitory for one night. Now the assistant coach and Mr. D'Antoni are watching their training games in the training hall. Do you want to go and see them?

"

"Will Curry keep a low profile?"

Downey Jr. touched his head a little embarrassedly: "I told him not to tell anyone... But a few days ago, his father, retired NBA shooter Curry, said that his son wanted to go to New York...

.”

"wipe..."

"It's nothing, let's go and have a look together."

"OK."

Seeing that his boss didn't blame him, Downey Jr. breathed a sigh of relief. He had tried his best, but his father couldn't keep his mouth shut.

"Now that he's here, we have to think of other plans."

Downey Jr. walked out of the office first, as if he would not be disturbed.

This made Jiang Chao and Liu Yan blush a little when their eyes met. Jiang Chao rubbed her hair:

"You are not allowed to wear school uniforms from now on, you know? The secretary must look like a secretary!"

"I haven't gotten used to it yet~" Liu Yan stuck out her tongue and covered her short skirt with her hands. The girls' skirts at Columbia University were too short. Liu Yan's tall and beautiful legs were dangling. The height of Jiang Chao's seat, ahem.

.

"You'll be fine once you get used to it. Do you still want me to buy you black silk?"

"Ah!! What are you talking about!!"

Liu Yan's usually cold and expressionless literary face turned red all of a sudden. This was a clear indication that she couldn't stand it, okay?

"...Ahem, in my impression they all dress like this."

Jiang Chao didn't know how to explain it. After finishing speaking, he rushed downstairs to the arena.

Ma De, you can't really say that you want to watch Workplace OL, that would be too vulgar.

Liu Yan, on the other hand, had already had wild ideas.

No way... Junior wouldn't watch that kind of movie, right... or before me... He had a secretary dressed like this??

So should I buy a set... Which color looks better...

If you wear black stockings, you should also wear a suit and short skirt.

Ahhh!

Liu Yan, what are you doing? Is this still the top academic Yan who wants to make money to take the postgraduate entrance examination?

Liu Yan knocked her little head. For some reason, she, who originally only wanted to make money and go to graduate school, became more and more integrated into and liked this job...

........

A basketball gym next to Penn Station.

This is the training facility that the Knicks rent out for training from time to time.

Jiang Chao, dressed in a suit, entered the arena from the viewing area on the second floor.

There were a bunch of players on all four courts, but Jiang Chao immediately saw a player wearing a No. 30 red Davis College jersey with a face like a primary school student.

Stephen Curry.

he came!

Jiang Chao still got the No. 8 pick.

history.

Will it happen again?
