Chapter 95: The Warriors

"Mark Cuban has been in contact with him before, he is also in the Internet industry, and he is relatively friendly to the Chinese. Zhuo Zixu said that Cuban founded a live sports website in his early years, sold it to Yahoo for a sky-high price of $5.9 billion two years ago, and then used the money to buy the Dallas Mavericks, and now Wang Zhizhi is in the Mavericks Xiaoli.

"It's okay to get in touch with him, but if you want to buy a team, you have to get the approval of other team owners, and it's a good idea to start with Cuban and then contact Paul Allen of the Trail Blazers. Allen is a shareholder of Microsoft, and Chen Yuan also has plans to buy Microsoft shares, so he can establish a good relationship with him.

It's not illegal for two shareholders of a company to own an NBA team at the same time, and Ballmer, another big man at Microsoft, later won the Los Angeles Clippers.

"But I'm not talking about him, Cuban is just an owner, and he is not very proficient in team management. "At present, the Mavericks mainly rely on the management of Nelson Sr., and Cuban is best known for constantly receiving fines from NBA headquarters, right?

"I'd like to say Jerry West of the Lakers, who is a first-class player in the NBA when it comes to team management and player selection. It was he who chose Kobe Bryant for the Lakers, and later moved to the Grizzlies to build the Grizzlies from a fish belly team to a playoff powerhouse, and then to the Warriors, laying the foundation of the Warriors dynasty.

"Isn't West doing well with the Lakers? is he willing to leave?" LOGO male name Zhuo Zixu also heard that he has been the general manager of the Lakers since 82, and has established the Magic Dynasty and the OK Dynasty successively, and it has been 20 years now, so it doesn't look like he can dig it.

"Lakers owner Buss Sr. has now begun to think about the issue of heirs, his son Buss Jr. and West are one faction, daughter Jenny Buss and Phil Jackson are one faction, the two factions are inextricably fought; now Jackson is very hopeful to lead the Lakers to a three-peat, West is at a disadvantage in the struggle, if nothing else, after the Lakers have won three consecutive championships, it is time for West to leave the Lakers. Chen Yuan knows that West left the Lakers in 2002 to go to the Grizzlies.

If he can go to Memphis, why can't he go to San Francisco or Houston? With this big guy, his team will definitely not have to worry about finding a good coach, a good player, and no need to worry about contacts in the circle.

"We can try to give him as much power as we can, give him power that he doesn't have with the Lakers, and even consider giving him a small stake to tie him to the team. "West's vision and ability to build the team needless to say, from Magic to OK to the Splash Brothers, West can almost be said to have established three dynasties, and when Chen Yuan mentions it a little, it is not a dream for his team to win the championship at all.

"If we can impress him, then we really don't have to worry about team management and construction issues anymore, and when I go back, I'll try to get in touch with him, understand the situation first, and see if he has any desire to leave the Lakers!" Zhuo Zixu has negotiated a lot now, has been trained, and knows how to convince West.

"So, do you have a plan for a specific team?" "I must talk about this when I meet West, you can't bring someone over to be a manager before the team has been selected, right?

"Considering Yao Ming's draft pick, he almost has to pick the top pick to guarantee his win, so you have to consider those teams outside the playoffs, such as the Warriors, Nuggets, and Rockets. "It doesn't seem like the NBA has started yet, but you can probably see the level of each team.

By the end of the season, the Warriors were in the bottom and got the draw, and the Rockets were lucky to get the top pick, and it's hard to say which team they want to buy now.

"If the other party gets the champion sign, he will definitely sit on the ground and increase the price. Zhuo Zixu reminded that if this is the case, it will not be easy to do, just adding money is good to say, and it will be depressing if you don't sell it.

"Let's talk to Stern when the inspection is over, there will always be a way. "The NBA draft lottery is not absolutely fair, for example, the year the Knicks drafted Patrick Ewing, there was a scandal about the corner of the envelope, and then there were rumors of frozen envelopes, and the Cavaliers can't help but be suspicious of the first pick in the future.

After all, the NBA is a commercial league, everything is based on commercial interests, and Stern has been coveting the Chinese market since the 80s, if a Chinese is willing to buy the team and want to get Yao Ming in the draft, maybe he will cooperate, so it is not necessarily necessary to buy the Houston Rockets.

"From our perspective, the Warriors seem like a good choice. An Sifang said, "The Warriors are in Oakland, only one Golden Gate Bridge away from San Francisco, and San Francisco is the earliest gathering place for Chinese to come to North America, there are many Chinese here, if we select Yao Ming, it will definitely attract a lot of Chinese fans to watch." ”

"Plus, Silicon Valley is just south of the Bay Area, and it's close to the Warriors. "Ago's Eyes plans to build its headquarters in Silicon Valley, and if it buys the Warriors, it will be equivalent to having the company's headquarters with the team, and it will also save them from running back and forth.

"The Warriors' performance has not been good in recent years, and the team's value will not be too high, Cohan spent 119 million at the beginning, and we can definitely get it within 250 million, which is cheaper than the Mavericks. "Thinking about the fact that Rucob and Cooper bought the Warriors in 2010, it seems that they spent 450 million, and in 2002, they spent more than 200 million to buy the Warriors.

"A few years to double the income, Kehan should be satisfied, the only question is the champion sign, can Yao Ming really get the champion? If the list eye, Tanhua can also win it will be much easier, 2002 is not a big year for the draft, it is not impossible to trade to the list eye or Tanhua sign. "Zhuo Zixu has a headache, and the champion sign is not easy to handle.

"Try to get ready first, I'll go to the United States during the winter break, and we'll talk to Stern together. "It is said that the Basketball Association is willing to let Yao Ming go to the NBA on the condition that he must guarantee the champion, as well as the starting qualification and playing time, and if he can't get the champion sign, there is no way to guarantee the signing of Yao Ming.

"No problem, so many companies have talked about it, and I don't believe that the NBA can't be done. Zhuo Zixu seemed to be full of energy, and this matter was much easier than acquiring a company.

"Oh, by the way, you can also keep an eye on Oracle when you go back, they haven't been doing well lately, you can consider buying some of their shares. "At this stage, Microsoft and IBM's data technology has improved, and it has stolen a lot of orders from Oracle, which is a good opportunity to start, and when the relationship is good, can we continue to persuade Oracle to help the team build a stadium?
