The Warriors' training base in downtown Oakland, Richard stood on the sidelines with a dark face, watching the Warriors "train" without saying a word, while the team's new executive president Larry Foster and the new general manager Chris Mullin were standing behind Richard, and the team's head coach Dave Cowens not far away was sweating profusely and his face was very embarrassed.

From Richard's point of view, you can clearly see the training situation of the Warriors, the core of the team, Antoine Jamison, is doing internal confrontation training with Eric Dampier, which is quite decent and serious.

Looking further away, Richard's face is not good-looking, the team's main center Adonalfoyle is actually practicing his lame free throws on the side, Li Lian is his own weak free throws, in Richard's opinion, this should have been practiced alone in the after-training practice, but was actually taken by Adonal Foyle to daily training!

Looking at the others, the main substitute Chris Potter actually played the flying dunk, and Murch Braylock, a veteran who has played in the league for 11 years, actually pulled Vaug Cummings and Mark Jackson to chat, and only pretended to dribble a few steps when Richard looked at him.

Richard couldn't help but ask, was he practicing dribbling? But at this time, he still held back, his chest was already full of anger, Richard understood everything when he saw the chaos of the Warriors' training, no wonder the Warriors' record deteriorated step by step, no wonder they only won 10 games halfway through the season!

Adonalfoyle and Chris Potter can be regarded as a little lazy, and Murchy Blaylock can be regarded as a passive slacking, taking the team's salary and messing around there!

Richard left the training hall with a belly full of anger, and he went straight to the president's office on the other side, followed by Larry Foster and Chris Mullin, and Dave Cowens with an embarrassed face. Although Mullin is still a player, he doesn't train much anymore and this season is his last season anyway, so he feels he should focus more on team affairs now.

The enraged Richard made up his mind the moment he entered the president's office, and he decided to purge the Warriors' players.

Old fritter players like Murkey Blaylock obviously can't stay, even for the sake of the growth environment of young players such as Antoine Jamison and Larry Hughes, they should be traded, but fortunately, there is still some time before the trade deadline, and Richard still has enough time to trade.

Entering the office, Richard went behind his desk, and then said to Chris Mullin, who came in: "Chris, I need to trade, trade all the players on the team!" I'll give you three days to come up with a trading plan, okay? ”

Chris Mullin had already thought that Richard would make such a decision, so he immediately agreed: "No problem! Do you have any specific requirements, though? ”

Richard touched his chin and thought for a while, and said, "I don't want any older players, we just need young players and draft picks!" ”

"Okay, no problem!"

After briefly talking about the transfer, Richard looked at Dave Cowens, the head coach who is likely to lead the Warriors to the worst result in history knows that he is close to leaving class, but Richard has a different idea, he is not in a hurry to let Dave Cowens go to class, anyway, for the Warriors, the next game is rotten, and it is the same for any coach.

If you continue to use Dave Cowens, you can also save a termination fee, which is obviously very cost-effective, but there are some things that still need to be made clear.

"Dave, the team is in a terrible condition, the record is very bad, I know, but I didn't expect it to be so bad, why can't I even do my daily training?" Richard looked at Dave Cowens, and he wanted an explanation.

Dave Cowens was embarrassed, or he had always been embarrassed, he was so embarrassed that he didn't even want to speak, but now Richard needed his explanation, and Dave Cowens had no choice but to explain: "Murkey Blaylock, they think the team is already like this, and they are already retiring, so they don't listen to me......"

Richard could only express his helplessness, Dave Cowens, the head coach, was really a little incompetent, and he couldn't even control a few players!

After getting Dave Cowens' explanation, Richard was not going to replace Dave Cowens, so after ordering a few words from Dave Cowens, he let him go. Chris Mullin also chose to leave, leaving only Richard and Larry Foster in the office.

The team's trades, transfers, and games have nothing to do with Larry Foster, and Richard came to Larry Foster to commercialize the Warriors, and after commercial operation, the team can operate independently, instead of losing money every year like now.

Richard knows that in the NBA, there are very few teams that can make money, only teams like the Lakers and Knicks in the metropolis can make money, and like the Warriors, although they also rely on big cities like San Francisco, they are much worse than Los Angeles, especially since the real location of the Warriors is not San Francisco, but Oakland.

The NBA in 2001 was not the NBA that could make a lot of money by relying on broadcast fees in later generations, otherwise there would be no shutdown or labor disputes.

And the commercial operation, in Richard's view, is what the NBA has not done well enough, even in 2015, the NBA's commercial operation is not good enough. In contrast, the commercial operation of the football circle is much better, a Real Madrid can have hundreds of millions of fans around the world, and even a Manchester United with a record of not being against the sky and not having the most stars can make a lot of money through commercial football!

You know, in 2005, the Glazer spent as much as $1.47 billion to buy Manchester United! The value of the NBA team has always been around $500 million, even the $2 billion spent by Ballmer to buy the Clippers in 2015 was an acquisition after a premium. And the 1.47 billion spent by Glazer is the result of careful calculation. Plus one is 2005 and the other is 2015, a difference of ten years, although the price of the Clippers is higher, but obviously Manchester United has a higher gold content!

And why were United able to do this in 2005 and not because of commercial football?

The Edwards family, the former owners of Manchester United, worked tirelessly to build a commercial Manchester United, and finally achieved such a world Manchester United!

And what Richard wants to do now, too! He wants to build a commercial Warriors, and he wants the Warriors to surpass the Lakers, surpass the Celtics, and surpass the Knicks! Become the richest team in the NBA and become the warrior of the world!

"Larry, now you can start working, but I also know that in the past few years, the Warriors have not been able to do anything commercial, but I can assure you that in three years at most, the Warriors will have a signature star who can be promoted in the world, and the Warriors can have hundreds of millions of fans, and what you have to do now is to lay a good foundation for the Warriors."

"So? What can I do now? Larry Foster was a top student at Harvard Business School, and after Richard said that, he understood a little, but he was still not sure.

"What needs to be done? You need to do it simply, know Manchester United? Just like Manchester United, to develop our fans all over the world, I will allocate you a sum of 10 million from my venture capital fund, and the first thing you have to do is to lay the foundation for the future warriors! ”

Richard has thought from the beginning that he will share a part of the proceeds of Richard's investment so that the Warriors can continue to operate commercially, and Richard believes that it will not be too long, as he said, in three years, a Warrior with hundreds of millions of fans will appear here!

"By the way, did you contact the University of California, San Francisco, where I asked you to contact?" Richard suddenly remembered the rebuilding of the team's uniform team, and one of the most important issues was the medical team, which he had handed over to Larry Foster, who had just arrived, and he didn't know how it was done.

The University of California, San Francisco is the only one of the ten campuses of the University of California dedicated to the study of health and life sciences, and is famous for its medicine and life sciences, and Richard naturally values sports medicine at San Francisco.

"Okay, I'll work out a cooperation agreement in a few days, and the San Francisco campus will send their sports medicine expert professor Kevin O'Shea to serve as the chief team doctor of the Warriors, and then their dean also said that in the future, the sports medicine department of the San Francisco University will be the team doctor group of the Warriors, but we have to help them make some scientific research investment."

Hearing Larry Foster's feedback, Richard almost jumped up excitedly, this is good news, this news has made Richard forget the unhappiness of watching the training just now!

"Research investment? No problem at all! Even if it's about investment in sports medicine, I've got all the money! "It's just some investments, Richard is an investment, and this little thing will not be taken to heart by Richard!

Larry Foster also laughed, he was a top student at Harvard Business School, he should have gone to work on Wall Street, and he chose the Warriors because he was also an avid basketball fan, he loved Michael Jordan and the Chicago Bulls, but now, Richard's goal for the Warriors has begun to impress Larry Foster!

It's a team that belongs to them, and Larry Foster feels more like a home than the Chicago Bulls! And Richard is also sincere in wanting to do a good job in this team.
