NBA: Start with 2 billion, buy the Knicks

Chapter 57: The new official takes office as a match

The youngest executive team in history arrives in New York.

No, the coaching staff didn't come first.

Jiang Chao divided his forces into two groups at Dezhou International Airport.

He and general manager Sean Marks returned to New York.

Stevens and Messina went to Indiana and other places.

The main purpose is to prepare your own people. The coaching staff is not just two people, there are too many trainers, analysts, including physical therapists, psychological counselors, etc.

For example, the Spurs have shooting coaches, the Lakers have Chinese medicine physical therapists and other various coaching backup teams. Now the NBA is not just about players.

Although the Knicks still have some players left, Jiang Chao trusts the people Stevens and Messina trust more. A united team is more important than anything else.

Jiang Chao was not taken advantage of, he only gave a few places, and all travel expenses were reimbursed.

If the quota is given more, according to his experience in the company in his previous life, it will end up being a place of nepotism and using his money to support his friends in their retirement years.

"The day after the draft, you take the people you recruited back to the Knicks."

"Then if you can't recruit assistant coaches, I will recruit them myself."

Jiang Chao originally wanted to recruit a few assistant coaches, but he didn't have enough time, so he came back first.

"Okay boss! There is a retired professor of medical physical therapy at Butler University. I'll see if I can ask him to come out."

Stevens and Messina are also very motivated, which makes them find a feeling of starting a business with Jiang Chao, and when starting a business, motivation is the most powerful at the beginning.

On the plane he took Messina to Indiana, the two were still discussing:

"This boss makes me feel like I'm 20 years old again."

After becoming famous in Europe, Messina looked down on the situation:

"Isn't it? The news outside is just nonsense! I really want to be 40 years younger and start over from scratch with him!"

"You can do it now, haha, let's go!"

…

The Knicks news isn't over yet.

The most outrageous thing has happened.

When the New York fans were about to let Fake and Jiang Yima go, Jiang Chao and Jiang Chao, who had just landed in New York today, did not stop.

Reporter woj broke the news:

"Knicks and Pacers swap 2010 first-round picks!"

Ten minutes later, the league’s official website also posted the latest transaction news.

In the quiet trade market before the draft, this is undoubtedly a powerful shot.

What the hell is this??

The fans couldn't understand it at all.

What’s the point of two weak teams swapping picks???

And it seems that the Knicks are even more at a disadvantage because the Pacers are in the process of rebuilding and the Knicks haven't been rebuilt yet. I wonder what Jiang Chao is up to.

David Stern was speechless.

So cool.

Fans were confused after seeing the news.

"What the hell? Don't operate it if you don't know how to operate it!"

"What kind of plane are you doing? Are you giving away next year's draft picks?"

"The people upstairs, don't make random comments. It's a s.. swap means gambling."

"Oh, you mean to compare the team's luck?"

"Is this okay?"

"What is the new general manager doing?"

Argentinian Demon Sword: "Hey, Messina didn't fall into the pit of fire, did he?"

People in the industry were confused. What the hell, they exchanged draft picks. In the eyes of RC Buford and others, this was such a crazy decision.

Only two crazy people could do it.

The first thing new Knicks general manager Sean Marks did was swap first-round picks with the Pacers.

Then Big Bird Bird over there agreed immediately, and the two teams seemed to have discussed it long ago.

Insiders knew at a glance that it was Jiang Chao who had some kind of deal with the King of Forces when he was in Indiana. They didn’t know what the chips were behind it. Anyway, it was very simple and embarrassing on the surface.

Spike Lee couldn't breathe when he saw the news.

This boss is so knowledgeable.

First, feed feces continuously, and then give a little candy. Just when the throat is ready to be sweet, a chocolate-shaped feces gets stuck in the throat?

In fact, Max himself was also stupid.

Because Jiang Chao and Stevens didn't tell him about this matter, he thought it was nonsense when they suddenly mentioned it. What the hell?

But he didn't dare ask the boss, so he asked Stevens.

After finding out that it was a bet between the boss and Bird, I was immediately confused. How the hell is this okay? Just give me a big pot when you come up?

What needs to be done must be done!

But it is true that if Jiang Chao went to the NBA to make this deal, David Stern would never sign it again.

Instead, it was a trade between two general managers, so David Stern, a top-notch worker, could only sign the deal.

But Sean Marks doesn’t take all the blame.

Although some fans are criticizing his new official's appointment, there are also many fans who are dissatisfied.

For example, Spike Lee spoke in the fan group:

"Hey, this should be something Jiang Chao and Pacers president Bird were doing in Indiana."

"Yeah, don't forget that the president of the Pacers is Bird."

"Bird is trying to trick our new boss!"

"Go scold Bird!! Old fox!"

"I'm willing to fight or suffer, but there's nothing I can do about it."

"I'm convinced! This can also be cheated. The Knicks will definitely not be as good as the Pacers next year. The Pacers have a very good lineup at all five positions, and Hibbert is very good!"

"Yes, if the two teams play a game, the Knicks' middle-aged and chaotic lineup will be beaten."

"Does the boss really think this is a gamble?"

There is also a lot of discussion within the Knicks, and this really sounds like a mess.

You said that the two sides exchange players and then have the right to exchange orders, and you said, is it too childish for you to simply exchange like this?

Liu Yan walked to the arena corridor and did not listen to the discussions of her colleagues. She always supported this big boy junior fellow student, so she did not listen.

With a slender figure, she was wearing a blue sports sweatshirt and light green shorts today. Her legs were straight and there was no gap. She looked at the door with a melancholy face.

While waiting for Jiang Chao to come back, he held his chin in his hand and stared at the poster hanging under the arena with his beautiful eyes.

Welcome Sean Marks!

Welcome Stevens!

Welcome Messina!

Including outside the arena, huge posters were made according to Jiang Chao's request to welcome these three senior talents.

Everyone was surprised by this. Logically speaking, Jiang Chao had just moved into the Knicks, so the large-screen poster should have been given to him, but he gave it to the employees.

He also asked for it to be as big as possible so that they could feel the love, welcome and sense of belonging to the Knicks.

However, Jiang Chao and the others did not come back, and Sean Marks came over first.

All employees went down to greet the future direct leader.

This flattered Sean Marks, and when he saw the poster of himself looking like a legendary general manager, he was almost moved to tears.

Jiang Chao's elegant personal secretary Liu Yan went up to offer flowers of welcome, but Downey Jr. jumped up and tried to hook his neck, which was hilarious.

"Welcome to New York!"

"The Knicks family welcomes their new general manager."

We are all young people, and when we see Sean Marks' "stable" appearance, everyone feels relieved and happy.

The first words of the new general manager are:

"This decision was made by me. We will never be worse than the Pacers next year!"

"I have confidence in this Knicks. With me and deputy general manager D'Antoni, everything will be fine."

Mustache stepped forward to shake hands with Sean Marks and take photos, and both of them were very excited.

Because the Knicks have finally been assembled.

"Do something big!"

“Where’s the boss??”

Jiang Chao's little fanboy Downey Jr. asked.
