There is a hedging theory in finance, that is, while doing one operation, it also does the opposite operation to resist risks.

Take buying stocks as an example, the fund has always been heavily positioned in long stocks, and in order to resist the risk of a sharp fall, some put options will be allocated to hedge financial risks.

Min Congda didn't want to be verbose with James, but as a financial background, he suddenly had an idea:

"I've been helping the Clippers rot right now, but what if the Clippers aren't rotten, they're getting stronger? What if the Clippers accidentally enter the Finals, won't my efforts be in vain? I can't spend all my effort on the Clippers, can I also develop some strong opponents? ”

Thinking of this, Min Congda's train of thought suddenly opened!

Yes, the fortress can be breached from the inside, or it can be opened by artillery bombardment from the outside.

This time, the Cleveland Knights were blasted away from the outside, and the king was going to sail south and move his capital to Florida.

James is naturally good to go to the Heat, but on the one hand, he has a personal grudge with Riley, and on the other hand, Min Congda is really not optimistic about the Wade-Bosh-James Big Three, and the abilities of the three obviously overflow the conflict.

If Bosh is replaced by Kevin Garnett of the same age, this kind of interior line that does not possess the ball and is excellent defensively, Min Congda will be gone.

Build a league giant to come out and let the Clippers never come out.

Now, help James with advice and keep him in the Cavaliers.

It can be regarded as a "Los Angeles Clippers Special Cleveland Festival Envoy" and become a prince of one side to develop well.

Raise the overall strength of the East, don't fail to beat as soon as you enter the finals, and prevent the Clippers from rising in the future.

Although Min Congda believes that the possibility of a rise is extremely small, according to Murphy's Law, there is a very small probability that something will happen.

Not only does he have to help James and the Cavaliers, but in the future, as long as the system allows, other teams, especially Western teams, will help if they can.

You see, the Grizzlies helped him...... It seems that there is no improvement for the time being, but it will definitely become a strong team in the future and ravage the Clippers!

Min Congda felt that his pattern had opened up all of a sudden, from an ordinary team manager, to a lost mentor and shadow godfather with the league in mind!

After listening to Min Congda's answers, James suddenly felt that staying in the knight didn't seem so bad.

Yes, didn't Kobe Bryant have the same experience in 2007, when the Lakers lineup was not good.

As a result, Gasol was traded in the middle of the season, and the team soared to the sky and regained the championship.

If Kobe Bryant can, why can't I, James?

James was fighting his final battle inside.

Min Congda's words made him completely determined.

"Oh, and one more thing, if you choose to stay with the Cavaliers, the myth of NBA-Batman's prophecy will be shattered by you. Don't you want to be controlled by others? Do you want to say on "Decision" that I'm going to bring talent to the South Coast and go to the Miami Heat. NBA-Batman's statements were all confirmed. Those words that insult you and scold you will also come true. ”

The public opinion preview brought by NBA-Batman became the last straw that pressed the balance on James.

If it weren't for NBA-Batman's prediction in advance, James would not have hesitated so much to realize that his image would collapse.

The answer finally landed, and Min Congda briefly reversed James's outlook on life in a conversation of more than an hour.

James left the teahouse, and he felt like he had spent half of his life in it.

The team swarmed up and asked him what the outcome was and if he could come to Los Angeles.

James didn't say a word, his character was still like that, hide it first, and then talk about it when he went back.

On the way back, James finally said, "I've decided to stay in Cleveland, and I'll make that decision public." ”

Leon Rose was the first to jump out and object, saying, "No, no, no, there is no future in staying in Cleveland!" Is Smart that guy crazy? Why won't he accept you? ”

"It's not that he doesn't accept me, it's that I don't want to go to Los Angeles, I'm going to stay in Cleveland," James said. ”

Several others also had their own complaints, but only Rich Paul stepped up and said, "I support LeBron, and he is the real hero if he stays in Cleveland." He's only 25 years old, and there's still a lot of time, doesn't he? In the future, he will not have to bear the stigma of 'disloyalty'......"

"No!"

James suddenly said no, saying: "I didn't stay in Cleveland because of loyalty, because this place suits me, I can win a championship for the Cavaliers, I can!" ”

Leon Rose sighed again and again, his wish to make several of his stars join forces was frustrated, and muttered: "I don't know what kind of Gu Smart has given you, this person is a madman, a pure madman." ”

James said suddenly: "I'm sorry Leon, you were fired, and I will let Rich be my agent in the future." ”

"What? What did you say? ”

"I said you're fired, and Richie will be my agent."

So, on the plane, James fired his agent, Leon Rose, and made Rich Paul his new agent.

After getting off the plane, he parted ways with the agent tycoon, and after the conversation, James was more in control than before.

Character determines fate, and fate strengthens character.

LeBron James did not embark on a path of liberation, but continued to struggle with his own heart.

On July 8th, ESPN livestreamed LeBron James' "Decision" as scheduled.

On the show, James looked confident and hearty, with a determined smile on his face, and said under the host's questioning: "I'm going to keep my talent in Cleveland, and I'm going to bring a championship trophy here, definitely." ”

As soon as these words came out, the audience cheered.

On the Internet, Cavaliers fans tweeted to celebrate.

The mayor of Cleveland even issued a statement making the day LeBron James Day.

And NBA-Batman failed because of this prediction, but instead rose another wave of fans.

The prediction was right, everyone came over and said awesome and then went to curse.

The prediction was wrong, and everyone wanted to come and see the slap in the face, so they all paid attention.

It's a pity that no one knows who NBA-Batman really is, and there is no way to talk about the slap in the face.

The dust has finally settled on the biggest fish in the free market, and it is believed that the NBA will continue to build on the culture and values of the past and continue to develop in a prosperous and stable direction.

After the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty, in the first year of Tianbao, Tang Xuanzong appointed An Lushan as the envoy of the Pinglu Festival, guarding one side and expanding the territory for the Tang Dynasty.

But he didn't want to cause an Anshi rebellion in the future that ruined the luck of the Tang Dynasty.

Min Congda talked to James in the attic, pulled him back from the South Coast, and "canonized" him as the Clippers' envoy to Cleveland, and also felt that he could defend one side and hedge the risk of the Clippers' rise in the future.

But I don't want to, many years later, the "Zhandu Rebellion" has already laid the root of the bane at this time.

The fate of human beings is indeed unpredictable.
