How much can a Clipper sell for? That's what Sterling is most concerned about right now.

"Mr. Sterling should have bought the Clippers for $12.5 million when he bought them."

Sterling nodded.

I know all about this, and it's useless to deny it, since it's useless, then admit it generously.

"At the beginning of $12.5 million, in the past three years, although the Clippers have not achieved much good. But the market value of the Clippers is also rising, so we are ready to buy your stake for 50 million. Clyde said.

At this time, Sterling's face was a little red, the results of the Clippers in the past three years were indeed not very good, and even worse than before he took over, although Sterling didn't care about this, but he still blushed a little when others said it in front of him.

After all, it's not such a glorious thing.

The Clippers are in their own hands, and they really haven't gotten rid of the name of the fish belly team, which I know, but no matter how much, as long as I can create income for myself, I don't care if the Clippers are the bottom of the league.

However, when he heard Clyde say that he would buy 50 million shares in the Clippers, Sterling's face suddenly pulled down.

"Sir, I won't sell it for 50 million." Sterling said loudly.

"And how much do you think the Clippers are worth in your hands?" Clyde asked, frowning.

Not to mention, in the hands of Sterling, the Clippers are not worth anything at all, because the Clippers are too rubbish, you must know that the entire Clippers are worth about $80 million now, while the market value of strong teams like the Lakers and Celtics is about 200 million, this is the difference.

The Celtics and Lakers are among the best teams in the league, and they are also the two teams with the most championships, which can be regarded as the spine of the league.

Clyde couldn't understand why the owner didn't buy a team like the Lakers, but wanted to buy a garbage team like the Clippers, you must know that in the league, it can be said that there is no team more garbage than the Clippers.

Not only did Clyde not understand, but even Jason didn't understand why the owner would be interested in such a team that was not even ranked in the top 10 in the league, and how did they know that Lin Yu wanted to create a legend in the NBA.

It has to be said that it is very difficult to make a team at the bottom of the league become the boss of the league, at least the team's foundation is insufficient.

However, although they didn't understand the boss's thoughts, the two of them resolutely carried out the boss's task.

Hearing Clyde ask this, Sterling said toughly: "$70 million." ”

Clyde couldn't believe his ears: "How much? ”

"$70 million." Sterling said again.

Clyde couldn't believe his ears, $70 million? The value of the entire Clipper is less than 100 million US dollars, and this old man wants to eat 70 million by himself, and the lion's mouth is too big.

"Mr. Sterling, are you sure you're talking about $70 million?" Clyde double-checked.

Sterling nodded and said, "Yes, sir, I don't think I'm Alzheimer's yet." ”

You don't have Alzheimer's? I think you're pooping in your head. Clyde thought hatefully.

"Well, Mr. Sterling, good luck!" With that, Clyde turned and left.

This??? Seeing Clyde turn around and leave, Sterling was stunned.

"Mr. Clyde, don't you want to buy the Clippers?"

Clyde turned to look at Sterling, shrugged his shoulders and said with a smile: "Mr. Sterling, your offer makes us feel very insincere, I think there must be a lot of people in the league who want to sell the team, so we still have a lot of options." ”

Sincerity? Bullshit! Sterling cursed inwardly.

If you hadn't cracked down on Lao Tzu's other industries, Lao Tzu would have sat here and talked to you about clippers?

But despite thinking so, Sterling said with a forced smile: "Oh, dear Mr. Clyde, making a deal is about finding a balance between each other, and I think we can still do it." ”

Clyde smiled, he knew that the stingy old man in front of him would not let him go.

"Mr. Sterling, our boss said that we will pay up to $55 million for your shares, and I think you will be satisfied with the price."

55 million? Although Sterling was satisfied with the price, he still said: "Mr. Clyde, $60 million, no less." ”

As he spoke, he made a distressed expression.

Seeing Sterling's pretended expression, Clyde sneered in his heart, this old guy pretended to be quite similar.

However, he still said with a smile on his face: "Mr. Sterling, you must know that we will rebuild the Clippers after we buy them, and this money will not be less, so 55 million US dollars is already our bottom line." ”

Sterling heard what the other party said, and asked with a glimmer of hope, "Can I keep a little bit of a stake?" ”

Clyde shook his head and said, "No, no, Mr. Sterling, our boss wants a wholly-owned acquisition, so we don't plan to give away the shares." ”

Hearing Clyde say this, Sterling nodded in disappointment and said a little decadently: "Okay, sir, 55 million, I will transfer all the shares in my hands to you." ”

Clyde nodded, and then a sincere smile appeared on his face, and he reached out to Sterling, and said with a smile: "Happy cooperation!" ”

"Happy working together!" Sterling reluctantly shook Clyde's hand.

It's no wonder that you can have a good time!

Reluctantly or not, Raheem Sterling sold the team that he didn't shit, and although the team created a lot of value for him, he didn't let the team achieve any good results.

"Sir, when are we going to go through the formalities?" Aitling asked.

Since it is no longer his own, then hurry up and finish this matter, and the province will feel distressed when he sees it.

"I think if you have the time now, we can go through the formalities right now."

??????

On December 28, 1983, just after Christmas, the league received a letter from the owner of the Clippers.

The Clippers changed hands.

This news did not attract much attention in the league, for a team like the Clippers, most teams do not pay attention, the Clippers want to become a strong team, they must make up their minds to push to the rebuild, but to push the rebuild must cost too much money, not many owners can afford so much money.

You must know that it will cost nearly $50 million just to control the Clippers team, and then rebuild the team, so it will cost nearly $20 million to do it, and nearly 70 million funds can buy a strong team in the NBA. Of course, the premise is that someone has to sell it.

Although the change of ownership of the Clippers did not attract the attention of the league, many fans of the Los Angeles Clippers seemed very happy, before Sterling became the owner of the Clippers, although the Clippers had poor results, but sometimes they could still make the playoffs, but after Sterling bought the Clippers, the Clippers almost never entered the playoffs, and the results have repeatedly declined.

For Sterling, the Clippers fans are disgusted, and the stingy old man is also the nickname that the fans give to this stingy guy.

After signing the contract with Sterling, Clyde called Lin Yu to report the news.

Lin Yu listened to the news from Clyde, and said happily: "This stingy old man can be regarded as doing the right thing. ”

Evra and Sophia were a little amused and a little curious when they saw Lin Yu's happy appearance.

Since Christmas, Evra has persuaded Sophia to move here too, so that after Lin Yu leaves, the house will not seem so deserted, of course, this is just Evra's own words, but I don't know what to think in my heart.

Lin Yu didn't have much of an opinion on this, he and Evra lived in the bedroom before his parents, and Sophia could live in her original bedroom when she came, or she could clean up another bedroom.

However, Lin Yu originally thought that Sophia would not agree to live here, but he didn't expect to agree, and the room he chose was still Lin Yu's previous bedroom, which made Lin Yu a little frightened.

"Lin, what's so happy about smiling so happily?" Sophia walked over and asked curiously.

"Hehe, just now Clyde called and said that he had bought the shares of the Clippers in Sterling's hands, and the rest is the individual shares in the stock market and some shares in the hands of other shareholders." Lin Yu said with a smile.

"Bought it? So fast? Sophia was a little surprised.

"yes, I didn't expect to buy the Clippers so soon, hehe, it's better sooner so that there will be plenty of time to trade." Lin Yu said.

For Jordan, Lin Yu must be signed, so buying the Clippers early will also give Lin Yu enough time to trade with the Trail Blazers.

You know, the Trailblazers drew the second pick in this draft, and the champion sign is destined to be the Rocket's, Lin Yu would like to exchange the champion with the Rockets, but the Rockets will definitely not be willing, and the Rockets are still counting on this draft to select good players.

Facts have also proved that the Rockets have selected the great center in history, Olajuwon, the big man who brought the Rockets two championships, is destined to become the gospel of the Rockets.

Provided, though, that those two years were the same two years that Jordan launched the league.

This time, Lin Yu doesn't plan to give the Rockets another chance, the championship honor, for the Clippers, the more the better, only in this way, when people mention the NBA, they will not talk about the Lakers or Celtics, but the Clippers.

Yes, that's what Lin Yu wants, he wants everyone to think of Jordan and the Clippers first when they mention the NBA.
