Chapter 281: The Deal Is Complete
(I'm a little dizzy, ask for a monthly pass, ask for a subscription, ask for a recommendation)
Lakers, Lin Han finally chose the Lakers, this is not the best but more balanced team compared to the Trail Blazers or the Knicks from the current point of view, the Trail Blazers can only provide Lin Han with the money needed to form a team and the team's extremely simple pursuit of Lin Han, but, in the same way, in addition to money, the Trail Blazers can not give Lin Han much support, if the Trail Blazers' money is advantageous in front of most of the 27 teams in the league, It is precisely in front of the Lakers and the Knicks that there is no advantage at all, so the only advantage that this team wants to get Lin Han is what the team's head coach Whithitter said, as long as Lin Han is willing to come to the Trail Blazers, the team from the owner to the staff, from the coach to the players, all obey Lin Han's arrangement, Lin Han can do whatever he wants, and Lin Han can play how he wants.
This team's pursuit of Lin Han is very sincere, or this team's pursuit of Lin Han is very sincere, which also makes Lin Han very moved, but in the end, the reason why he rejected this team is also because of this sincerity, with Lin Han's current influence, he does not have the status of raising his arms and calling for followers, although he is very willing to accept such a team status, that is, the status of everyone in the team revolving around him, but now, compared to such a high position, What Lin Han needs more is a specific plan and a practical and effective team plan, and now Lin Han is still in an extreme hunger for honor and achievement, and he is now desperate to establish his own position in the league, rather than starting to enjoy it after establishing his position, just like Jordan back then, when the Bulls took Collins, Jordan was against Phil Jackson. Jordan also didn't support the Bulls when they traded for Oakley, but when the team sued him, it wasn't time for him to chirp at the team. When the team had a more perfect plan to make his career better, Jordan still accepted the team's plan and arrangement very rationally.
Eventually, Phil, Jackson, and Grant brought the Bulls a triangle offense and Jordan the first dynasty. At that time, Jordan was very similar to Lin Han now, although they were already the most popular new stars in the league, but they did not have enough influence, in this case, compared to the player's own toss, the team had an excellent management and an excellent exhibition plan is more reliable, of course, Jordan and Lin Han can also give advice. You can also express your thoughts to the team, but the team must not have only one voice, which is extremely detrimental to a team.
Therefore, Lin Han really wants the status promised by the Pioneers, but Lin Han also knows that now he does not have that kind of ability and influence, and it will be a real tragedy if Lin Han finally smashes the Pioneers for a few years, although the team will not care from top to bottom, everything revolves around him, but what Lin Han wants now is a team that can bring him enough honor instead of enjoying his current status. He doesn't have much capital to enjoy such a status now.
Therefore, compared with the supreme status given by the Trailblazers that Lin Han yearns for, Lin Han currently knows very clearly that the status given by the Lakers or the Knicks is the most realistic, and they are the boss of the team. has a great voice in the team, can participate in the team's decision-making, as long as Lin Han is unwilling to do something, the team will not forcibly implement, although such a status is not as high as the pioneer gave, but it is indeed a more suitable choice for Lin Han now, after all, if Lin Han is a tease, his head will do something crazy. Fortunately, there was also a Jerry West and David Chekts next to him to stop him, and these two people were definitely capable enough to convince Lin Han. Moreover, both of them said that they would seek Lin Han's consent for any decision. In other words, even if Lin Han disagrees with some decisions, they will not force them, but continue to persuade Jordan to persuade Lin Han like the Bulls did back then, which is very good.
When Lin Han thought that his ability and status were not there, there was a team like Jerry West or David Chekz to help raise points, and he could concentrate on fighting for honors, which was very good, although he did not have the supreme status of the Trailblazers, but the status was already extremely high.
As for why not go to the Knicks and choose the Lakers, it is even simpler, although the Knicks can provide Lin Han with a better team foundation, and the team's head coach is also extremely good, but Lin Han does not trust veterans like Ewing and Malone enough now, Ewing said that as long as Lin Han goes to the Knicks, he will give Lin Han a hand, as long as he has a nominal team leader, who knows if this guy is nonsense, in New York in the Knicks from top to bottom from fans to management are all Ewing people, With Lin Han's current status, even if he immediately changes his mind and swallows him directly, it will be no problem for Ewing to change his words and say, buddy, give me another year, as long as you give me the second year for a year, I will listen to you in the future, what will Lin Han do then? Should I rush or should I swallow my anger? Soaring is not good, after all, he just went to New York, as for swallowing his anger, if Lin Han can endure it, he will endure it in the Jazz team, and he will go to New York to endure it?
Therefore, although Lin Han does not need a supreme position now, he definitely needs the position of the sole master of a team, and this is not what the Knicks can give Lin Han, the Knicks always need to take into account Ewing's feelings, and Lin Han does not believe that Ewing said that he only needs a nominal boss, so the Lakers are the best choice.
The Lakers do not give Lin Han a good status, and the strength foundation of this team is not as good as the Knicks, but all things considered, it is the only team suitable for Lin Han now, plus California is the largest state in the United States, Los Angeles is the second largest city, and the Lakers are one of the teams with the most ball kings and quasi-ball kings in team history, which is a good choice whether it is from the pursuit of results and honors, the pursuit of their own strength improvement or the pursuit of maximizing commercial value.
"Lin, since you already have your own judgment, then I can leave now"
After Lin Han made his choice, Sandrine, the CEO of the royal sister, left the next day, but when the CEO of the royal sister left, he did something that made Lin Han not know whether to be happy or depressed, because the eldest sister didn't know what to say to Lin Han's eldest sister when she left, and actually asked Lin Han, who had never thought about leaving McDonald's, to promise her to be the head of Lin Han's agent team.
Lin Han agreed to be Lin Han's assistant, which was naturally a thing that made Lin Han happy. After all, this can allow Lin Han to see his eldest sister often, of course he is very happy, but obviously. If Lin Han was willing to let his sister enter this extremely dark circle, he would have done so a long time ago. Although Lin Han was unwilling, if Lin Han insisted, she would agree with her love for Lin Han, but, just like Sandrine said, Lin Han doesn't need to do too much, just study in the team, and what really handles things is the group of top students from Ivy League schools she brought. So this reassured Lin Han a lot, and Sister Sandrine also said that she intended to let Lin Han take over her position as CEO of Miracle Company in the future, and now train Lin Han for a few years.
It can be seen that although this thirty-one or twelve-year-old royal sister is not very old, her ambition is not small, and the CEO of a small Adidas subsidiary cannot satisfy her ambitions, and her ambitions are at a higher level, such as entering the board of directors of Adidas as chairman and the like.
As a major shareholder with 5o% of the shares, Lin Han really needs a very trustworthy person to take over the miracle company, and Lin Han is naturally the best choice. Even if Lin Han doesn't learn well in the future, at least he can be a vice president and help Lin Han take care of him. However, it seems that Sandrine is quite optimistic about Lin Han's learning ability.
Of course, in addition to arranging for Lin Han, even Lin Han's other family members have also been arranged, such as Lin Yu, who is in high school, Sandrine has already asked people to arrange her transfer, and even like Lin Han's second sister Lin Wei, a sophomore at the University of Utah, she has arranged it by her.
Although Lin Han didn't want to complain about her second sister, don't look at Lin Han's eldest sister as a scholar, but Lin Wei is not a scholar. When I went to school with Lin Han, if it weren't for Lin Han's distraction from outside things because of the death of his parents. Lin Wei's study is not as good as Lin Han's, otherwise Lin Wei would not have been able to be admitted to the University of Utah, a school that is among the top 100 in the United States. In the United States, a Chinese who studies harder is embarrassed to say that he is a first-generation immigrant Chinese if he can't get into the top 30 schools in the United States.
Therefore, in Lin Han's heart, compared to his perfect goddess-like eldest sister, although Lin Wei is beautiful, her head is actually a little mushy, En, of course, this complaint can only be in Lin Han's heart, and cannot be said clearly, in this case, Lin Han doesn't think that her second sister can learn anything in the University of Utah Business School, and she herself is probably not that material, so when Lin Wei happily told Lin Han, when Sister Sandrine arranged her to the University of Southern California, Lin Han was speechless, The University of Southern California is ranked about 20 schools in the United States, and it is very famous among private schools in the United States.
Although it is very easy to transfer in the United States, especially the threshold for transferring to a private university is not high, and it is a school environment that is easy to enter and difficult to come out, but the University of Southern California is the oldest private university after all, and it is different from ordinary ones, so when Lin Han asked how much it would cost this royal sister, this royal sister did not say.
"Don't worry, this money is not from me, don't thank me so much"
In the end, Lin Han was almost amused by this royal sister's words, it seems that the money spent by this royal sister is still his dividends that have not yet arrived, but this can be regarded as making Lin Han feel a little more at ease, no matter how much money is spent, it is finally spent by himself, otherwise if it is really the money that this royal sister posted to him, Lin Han really doesn't know how to repay it, and sacrifices himself to feed the tiger? Lin Han thought, but this royal sister is already married.
Of course, in the end, Sandrine left in a hurry and went to Los Angeles in advance is definitely not just as simple as settling down for Lin Han, because Lin Han's previous team was the Jazz, so Adidas' biggest promotion of Lin Han is in Salt Lake City and Utah, as well as Europe and Asia, as for the rest of the United States, New York and Los Angeles are not small, but they are just better than other places, and now, Lin Han has decided to go to the Lakers. Then the market in Los Angeles and the market in California need to be laid out!
After all, the population of Los Angeles alone is 4 million, and the total population of California is close to 4ooo, even if California can't achieve at least one pair of Lynham sneakers per family like Utah. But as long as there is a pair of Lin Han's sneakers in 1o families, Lin Han's sneakers can sell more than 1oo pairs in California. With the effect of Lin Han driving to Los Angeles and driving the Lakers, how can it only sell 1oo million pairs.
Of course, Sister Sandrine is ready to go to Los Angeles in advance to lay out the sales of Lin Han's sneakers, as long as the operation is done properly, the sales volume of Lin Han's miracle generation will increase by 1oo pairs, then the global sales of Lin Han's miracle generation will reach 6oo pairs, although this number is only about the same as Jordan's fourth generation, but it is already very powerful. Even if it's not as good as Jordan, it's already Jordan's level! At the very least, the hottest player named James in Arie's mouth in later generations has a maximum of 300 million in shoe sales, and Jordan, who has been retired for n years, has 2.3 billion in sales a year, Jordan only had 4% sales dividends at that time, and he was able to have more than 9ooo income a year, which is only the efficiency of Jordan's signature sneakers, not the efficiency of all Jordan brand sneakers.
It can be seen that when the Jordan brand stabilizes in the market, even if Jordan retires, the number one star in the future league cannot be compared with Jordan in terms of influence. Therefore, if Lin Han wants to get a piece of the pie from here, he must not wait until the whole United States wears Jordan and the whole world wears Jordan, and then he competes. By then it will be too late.
It also has to be said that Jordan's retirement did give Lin Han a chance, and Lin Han also seized this opportunity and played at least 4 to 6 with the Jordan brand in the sneaker market.
Of course, at this time, the royal sister who left in a hurry did not think about whether the Los Angeles Lakers had the capital to really trade Lin Han to the Lakers, although she was no stranger to the NBA, but she was not an expert who was extremely proficient, but what the royal sister said to Lin Han when she left made Lin Han agree very much.
"If Jerry West can't meet the Jazz's demands in this situation, then he doesn't deserve the title of the league's best general manager and the godfather of the Lakers."
Sandrine has a lot of confidence in Jerry West. But is Jerry West really that easy at this time?
Or is it true that the Utah Jazz are that low?
Of course not, when Lin Han informed the team of his choice. The Jazz did push off all other requests seeking to trade Lynn's team, as previously promised to him. It's just negotiating with the Lakers.
Similarly, the conditions they put forward to the Lakers are indeed not high, at least in Jerry West's opinion, although it is not so easy to do, but it is definitely not so pitiful.
At least it's better than Jerry West imagined, but even if it's better, it's not so easy to complete the Jazz's requirements first.
"Jerry, is it really good to send most of the team for Lin Han?"
In the hotel where Jerry West was staying, Jerry West really had a list in his hand at this time, and beside him, Jim Bass, who had followed him this time, asked with some uncertainty.
Since last season, Jerry Bas saw that Lin Han would be a little trick, Jerry West and Magic, one is the godfather of the team, and the other is the greatest player in the team's history, and he praised Lin Han and hoped to bring in Lin Han.
As the meritorious owner of the Lakers, Jerry Buss is a very generous person, but no matter how generous a person is, it is difficult to tolerate that the team belongs to Jerry West's family from top to bottom, you know, in the NBA, who doesn't know such a sentence.
"It's always been Jerry West, and I don't know the Lakers have-"-
What is the meaning? The meaning of all decision-makers, that is, the whole world only knows that the Lakers are only one Jerry West, and as for the other decision-makers, including the team's owner or the director of operations or the head coach or the team boss, we don't know.
The league's saying is the biggest praise for a team's general manager, a general manager to the point of Jerry West, so that the world only knows that the Lakers can make decisions, and everyone else is standing, including the owner of the team, this kind of right is really equivalent to the regent of ancient China.
For this capable regent. Old Bass didn't care, after all, they had been working together for 15 years, and it was time for him to retire. If it weren't for the fact that Jerry West created the Lakers dynasty and reshaped the label of the purple and gold aristocracy. I'm afraid that's what the Lakers are, so Jerry West has such a status, and he also acquiesces, in his dynasty he allows Jerry West to have such a status, but Old Bass has the strength to allow his dynasty to have a regent, it doesn't mean that Old Bass agrees with Jerry West to continue to regent his son, and then his family is all Jerry West Regent, how can this be allowed?
It's just that. At present, the Lakers are Jerry West's people from top to bottom, even if the old Bass can't do whatever he wants, he can only get his second son who is still playing non-mainstream back and let him come to the team to be Jerry West's secretary.
Of course, in addition to the eldest brother taking over most of the family's business, Buss Jr. is willing to take over the Lakers, but he is not a fool, and he also knows that without Jerry West's consent, let alone his father taking over the team, he can't take over the team.
So though just came back to Jerry West as a secretary. As the future successor of the team, it looks a little humiliating, but there is no way to do it. Who let the Lakers be run by Jerry West, even his father can't intervene, Jerry West agreed to the team's poaching of Lin Han, although the old Bass was a little hesitant, but the Lakers finally overwhelmed the owner and made the decision.
"It's worth it if we give away a whole team for him"
Looking at the future owner of the team, Jerry West said with a smile, although he is the regent of the team, the actual top decision-maker. But because the old Bass does respect him very much, Jerry West is still very concerned about cultivating the team's future successor. I didn't think about what old Bass or little Bass did to him.
Of course, at this time, Bas Jr. was indeed extremely afraid of Jerry West. After Jerry West explained with a smile, he didn't speak again.
The Jazz's request did not embarrass the Lakers, which made Jerry West very happy, after all, he didn't expect to get Lin Han at this time, he originally thought that Lin Han would get Lin Han when his contract expired in 1996, and he was even already planning to get Lin Han in 1996, and now, this is definitely happiness came too suddenly, and because it came too suddenly, many of his layouts could not be expanded.
So, in this case, the Jazz team is really not very demanding.
There is no requirement that the Lakers must give lottery draft picks or top three picks, after all, in the current league, the salary of rookie players is not easy to bear, especially the salary of lottery rookies is even higher than that of many superstars, even if Glen Johnson or Grant Hill or Kidd does not dislike the Jazz is a small place and is willing to come here to be the third, but can the Jazz afford the price of these three? Even at this time, there are rumors that Glenn Johnson is ready to ask for a 1o year and $100 million contract, and Kidd is also ready to ask for a 9-year contract of 6ooo million, even if Grant Hill has not yet spoken to Guò's own agent, but the value is not low, Malone is still holding a salary of more than 3oo, how can the Jazz afford these three rookies with superstar potential or other rookies with superstar potential.
If it is an ordinary all-star potential rookie, although the salary will not be higher than Hill, and the Jazz can afford it, but the key is whether these guys will continue to stay in the Jazz after they are trained, the Brue Edwards incident has only been a year, therefore, the Jazz team might as well trade some singles years with All-Star strength but very hungry for the championship veterans, such players can fight when they come, such as Jeff Malone before, and there are not as many pursuits for young people as in big cities or the world of flowers, Therefore, the Jazz did not ask the Lakers for lottery draft picks at all, although there were requirements for draft picks, but they were all in the middle rank.
It's just that even some ordinary All-Star players, but the Jazz want these players are not bad, such as the 76ers' Hornacek, Ricky Pierce, both of whom are All-Star players, Hornacek was the Jazz's key scouting player in the 76ers last season, this scoring guard who can break through, can hold the ball, can throw three-pointers and can defend is very suitable for the Jazz's current style of play, and Ricky Pierce is also an All-Star player, and the league's two-time Sixth Man of the Year winner. If it had been last season, Sir Ricky Pierce would not have thought about it, and Tone would not have traded him. But now, the biggest calamity of this sound by the black seven has been put on the shelf by the sound. It's just that the Jazz don't want to pay Elliott or Russell, and they don't have the chips to get him.
One of these two is to make up for the tactical value of Linhan's departure, and the other is to prevent accidents, when Hornacek is not suitable for the team, Elliott is on top, and Ricky Pierce takes Elliott's substitute position.
So the Jazz want these two, Jerry West can understand, these two All-Star players are really a good fit for the Jazz. Just one of the other people left him a little speechless.
The Jazz still want him to get Brook Edwards back!
After Brugh Edwards went to the Bucks last season, the first year's table made Bucks fans very amazing, averaging 17 points per game in the season, the offense is very good, and the defense is also active.
And this season, when the former Jazz player got a foothold on the team, he was a little lax. The defense is not so active, giving people a feeling of not being able to work, which makes the Bucks instantly feel that their 5-year, 950,000 contract has been lost.
Bucks though fish belly. But I don't want to raise such a player, and naturally I am also looking to trade him, but it is clear that although Edwards is young, as long as he has this kind of ineffective record, few teams are willing to take over such a player with a garbage contract, why do the Jazz want him?
Either this guy kneels down to his old club and admits his mistake, hoping to change his mind and let the team see that it was his own people who saved him from the Bucks, plus the Jazz see his potential. Also agreed, and in addition to this possibility. Either that's the Jazz's bad taste, ready to bring this guy who brought the biggest shame to the team back to the team to tune in. But no matter which possibility it is, since the Jazz want it, Jerry West can't help it.
These three are the players that the Jazz team wants most, although it is a little difficult, but these people are not for sale, it can be said that Jerry West can still do it, if it can't be done, isn't there an alternative plan later.
It can be said that the Jazz team really doesn't have many requirements, as long as Jerry West fills the vacancy that Lin Han left as required, that's fine, and he didn't think about slaughtering the Lakers.
Moreover, in recent times, the general managers of most of the league's teams have been in Salt Lake City, and after Jerry West took action, it was really very fast in terms of action alone.
didn't make the Jazz wait any longer, just on June 26, Jerry West completed the task assigned by the Jazz, and that night, the Jazz and Lakers' trade request for Lin Han was sent to David Stern's table!
Recently, the Jazz's matter of trading Lin Han has been disturbed throughout the United States, and many Jazz fans have been angry, and in addition to these Jazz fans, the world's most concerned about this matter is David Stern, and even he has wanted to personally intervene in this matter about trading Lin Han more than once, but in the end, the president of the league still held back.
But fortunately, the exhibition of things did not embarrass him too much, and even the president of the league thought that if the Jazz team dared to wear small shoes for Lin Han, then he would not mind wearing small shoes directly for the Jazz team, as for what behavior is considered to be the act of wearing small shoes for Lin Han? Naturally, the Jazz traded Lin Han to another small city in order to strengthen their team, regardless of Lin Han's feelings or the interests of the league.
This is absolutely unbearable, as long as the Jazz dare to do this, then he will directly veto the deal, so yesterday when he saw on the news that the Kings want to trade Richmond for Linhan, the Pistons want to use this year's No. 3 draft pick for Linhan, and even the Mavericks even sent the Jazz a roster in exchange for Linhan, plus Jim Jackson and Mashburn, any of the two Jazz can choose, if the Jazz are willing to send Eelliott and Russell, even these two Mavericks can be sent.
The president of the league has also been raising his eyebrows, ready to see how the Jazz choose, but fortunately, this team seems to be very clear about its team's positioning, but did not do anything to make David Stern laugh.
And today, when the Jazz, Lakers, and several other teams sent him a trade request for Linham, the league president also had a smile on his face.
Six-way deals, in the NBA, generally speaking, such a deal is difficult to operate, involving too many teams, and more teams means that it is difficult to meet the requirements of each team, and there has never been such a transaction in the history of the NBA, whether the number of teams involved in the transaction or the number of players is not as large as this time.
It's just that now David Stern didn't pay attention to the number and number of people in this transaction, but saw that the Jazz sent Lin Han to the Lakers, and directly agreed to the deal. If there are really details in the transaction, it is impossible to send it to his office, and since it has been sent here, then it is waiting for his final decision.
"However, this guy really has the courage and the means."
Looking at the string of names sent by the Lakers on this deal, David Stern smiled secretly in his heart.
And when David Stern agreed to the terms of the trade between the Jazz and the Lakers and other teams about Linhan.
It didn't take long for almost all the major media in the United States to be involved in this incident in the early morning of the next day!
"Shocking deal, Lin Han is in Los Angeles?! The Los Angeles Lakers sent 7 players including Divac to the MVP of the new finals! ”
"Hornacek, Steve Smith joins the Jazz, Lynham gets 4 players plus 3 draft picks for the Jazz!"
"Divac enters the Heat, and the strongest two-gun in the East is disbanded!"
On June 27th, when almost all the media in the United States were frantically reporting on the deal between the Jazz and the Lakers, at Lin Han's home in Salt Lake City, when Lin Han held the Los Angeles Times in his hand and looked at the details of the transaction above, Lin Han smiled a little bitterly.
"Are you finally leaving?" (To be continued)
