Prokhorov is worth tens of billions of dollars, and although he is not the richest owner in the NBA at the moment, he is definitely in second place. And according to Xiong Guohao's idea, referring to his success in Xiong Country, and compatriot Abu's experience in the Premier League, it is a matter of course that as long as I have money and am willing to spend money, I will definitely be able to smash a championship in the NBA with thick dollars.

And in fact, just as Arthur thought, after Prokhorov entered the Nets in his previous life, he even set a time limit for this championship - five years!

Of course, it can also be said that the Nets have undergone drastic reforms, showing the pursuit of championships. even sacrificed the future of the Nets at that time for the championship, traded out a number of draft picks, and obtained Pierce, Garnett, Delon, Joe Johnson, and Da Luo at the cost of the luxury tax.

As expected, the Nets didn't go far in the playoffs with such a lineup, and the Nets have gradually become a fish belly team since then. Since then, the Nets have been caught in a nightmare that seems to never wake up, with the bottom of the results, no draft picks, and no more bottom results, still no draft picks!

If Prokholov's arrogant idea is an ignorant move that has not been influenced by NBA culture, then Arthur's attitude towards the NBA is to be patient, make full use of every draft pick, and complete the rebuilding of the Nets, rather than smashing a championship with money, because, he Arthur Boleyn, really doesn't have so much spare money...

I have to say that Arthur's status as an earl and aristocracy is still very popular in the United States, and many people are willing to buy it, and it is very easy to meet with NBA President David Stern.

And for Arthur's desire to buy the Nets, NBA President David Stern also expressed his support. Stern said that if Arthur can make the acquisition, it will be a great opportunity for the NBA to expand further globally.

And it's worth mentioning that with such a successful acquisition, the Nets will become the first team in NBA history to be purchased and controlled by foreigners.

“。。。 In the previous season, the Nets' performance was indeed a little "unsightly", and the team almost became the team with the worst record in history. I'm looking forward to seeing you join the NBA, which will also make the NBA younger. David Stern said happily as he looked at Arthur with a smile on his face.

"Thank you, it's been proven that the NBA is a hugely successful business. It would be an honor for me to be part of this family, and to get the Nets out of the quagmire, we need to carry out some scientific reform and have enough patience.

I've always been against using money to pile up big stars and let the team explode in the short term, which may win the present, but definitely lose the future. Arthur smiled and said his philosophy, and after seeing David Stern's very approving nod of approval, he continued: "Mr. President, maybe you should have heard that there is also a businessman from the Bear Country who is also interested in the Nets.

The other party is the largest gold supplier in the bear country, and he once used several times more investment than other teams in the bear country to lead a team to smash out two championship titles. After seeing the success of compatriot Abu at Chelsea, he also tried to create a "Chelsea myth" in the NBA as well.

And, as far as I know, many of this Mr. Prokhorov's investments are in violation of American law, so if I can, I suggest that the NBA league should thoroughly investigate Mr. Prokhorov's personal background and check his eligibility to become the owner of an NBA team. Including Mr. Prokhorov's company and his personal resume in Russia, these are all aspects that the NBA needs to consider and investigate... ”

"Hehe... ”

Hearing Arthur's obviously slanderous words, David Stern was stunned at first, and then his eyes flashed brightly, and he looked at Arthur's equally bright gaze, looking at Arthur's expression that did not change at all, and shook his head and laughed.

"I have also heard about the situation of Mr. Prokhorov, and it is indeed disgraceful that he squandered tens of millions of dollars in Italy for two weeks, and that he was arrested, but such things consider him an object of intrust... It's a bit arbitrary.

However, his profound background really needs to be carefully considered and investigated, and if there is really something that violates US laws and policies, then our alliance will naturally not welcome such people to join. ”

Hearing David Stern's ambiguous excuses, Arthur was not disappointed, he knew that for people like David Stern, it was no problem for anyone to join the alliance, as long as it could bring money to the alliance and bring promotion.

Whether it is the British market after Arthur joins or the bear country market after Prokholov joins, they have a huge role in promoting the expansion of the alliance in the international market, and he naturally will not exclude another rich man because of Arthur's few words.

It's just that Arthur was already ready to make trouble, and since he had already brushed his face with David Stern and given the opponent an eye dropper, then his plan to make a fuss about the other party's identity and background naturally had to continue.

After deliberately releasing the news that he was going to buy the Nets, the negotiations ended the next day, and when Arthur walked out of the New York City Forest Group building, he was embarrassed by the New York reporters who had already received the news.

"Yes, I do have an interest in buying the New Jersey Nets, and I hope to bring such a great game in the NBA to the British audience, and what could be more engaging than having a parent team of their own?"

Facing the group of reporters surrounding him, Arthur answered the reporters with a bright smile and escorted by the bodyguards.

"As far as I know, the owner of the Nets team had an agreement with the billionaire Mikhail Prokhorov of the Bear Country at the end of last year, and Mikhail Prokhorov also promised to come back with a championship in five years, what do you think about that?"

As far as I know, the Nets are still in a state of sale, and no one knows what the end result will be until the deal is completed, does it?

As for smashing a championship in five years with money, all I can say is that the person who said such a thing has such an arrogant idea because he has not experienced the ignorance of NBA culture... “

"Hahaha... ”

Hearing Arthur complain about the arrogant rich man of the bear country, all the New York reporters present couldn't help but echo and laugh, for the bear country, they will instinctively reject, which does not need Arthur to fan the flames, the hostility and prejudice in his bones have created everything.

"And, this kind of gold dollar sports, I don't support it, it's just a temporary glory with the team's future in exchange for the moment, well, maybe there are really people who don't care about the luxury tax, if I'm not mistaken, this year and next year, many superstars in the league will become free agents, tsk, if this kind of person who wants to smash the championship with money enters the league, I think, many team owners will not be able to sleep well!" Arthur teased with a mischievous smile on his lips.

"Haha... ”

The reporters at the scene burst into laughter again.

"By that point, you're not going to invest heavily in building a superstar team, are you?"

"I believe in the professionals more about how to run the team, but in terms of my personal philosophy, I value the future of the team more, and the current results don't say anything, after all, as long as you have a good draft pick, the team can have a future, and as far as I know, the Nets have a lot of good signings, and I firmly believe that the future of the Nets will be better.

As for superstars, well, I also like superstars, after all, the psychological factor of the team's leaders is also very important, which directly determines the team's mood and ceiling. At the same time, the team's chemistry and sacrifice must not be overlooked. If I were to take charge of the Nets, the two things I would do would be to find a more professional general manager and then use all the draft picks in my hands to rebuild the team!" Arthur said confidently and calmly.
