When he learned that the Hornets had gone bankrupt, Min Congda felt extremely frustrated.

I worked hard for two seasons, thinking about it every day, but the Clippers were like no one.

Not only is the combat power getting better and better, but the business situation is also getting better and better, and if you make the playoffs again this season, the valuation may increase again!

Look at the Rolex watch on your hand, it was given by the team's sponsor for nothing, and it won't be accepted for nothing anyway.

However, for the bankruptcy of the Hornets, Min Congda was quite surprised.

Because the Hornets have been restrained by the Clippers for the past two seasons.

Last season, the Clippers faced the Hornets without a win and were killed by four.

Finally won one game this season, but it was still difficult to play the Hornets.

Chris Paul has played well every time he plays the Clippers.

Especially when he faces Curry, he is one of the few small guards who can suppress Curry on both offensive and defensive ends.

So every time he played against the Hornets, Min Congda was very happy and knew that he was going to lose.

Unexpectedly, the Hornet, which has excellent combat power, said that it would go bankrupt.

According to Chris Wallace, the Hornets weren't quite good in December.

At that time, the alliance was already interested in hosting the Hornets and then helping the Hornets find a home.

Because the wasp itself is not very high-quality assets, it takes time to find a buyer.

However, the Hornets owner still wants to struggle a little bit and hope to make it through the season.

It's a pity that the box office sales of the Hornets were just too poor.

According to the agreement between the Hornets and the local area, if the box office does not meet certain standards, the Hornets will move out of New Orleans.

"The agreement between the Hornets and Louisiana is to average 14,213 attendances per game, but it's good to have 14,000 attendance at Hornets games, often in the early 10,000s, which doesn't meet the requirements of the agreement."

"So the Hornets have been in flux, they don't know when they're going to move out of New Orleans, and their record has plummeted. Now, finally bankrupt. ”

The Hornets started the season well, with an 11-1 record and at one point occupying the top spot in the league.

At the time, it was thought that the Hornets and Paul would be back in the 2008 season to build on their original successes.

It didn't work for the Hornets to play well, and the local fans in New Orleans didn't buy it, and the attendance has been dismal.

Moreover, there has been a lot of confusion within the team about whether to trade Chris Paul, which has made the team impetuous.

Then the team lost in a row, the record slipped and the attendance was even worse.

The final straw that broke the Hornets was the personal finances of team owner Sean.

He was heavily indebted and insolvent, and he still couldn't see the possibility of Hornets making a profit at the box office until March.

You can only declare bankruptcy and sell the Hornets.

But Sean doesn't want the Hornets to leave New Orleans, he doesn't want the Hornets to be like the SuperSonics, and he will become a sinner in New Orleans.

"It's said that Kansas are ready to take over the Hornets, their arena was completed in '07, and the Kansas want an NBA team too." Wallace passed on the internal first-hand news to Min Congda.

The Kings were in Kansas before moving to Sacramento.

Kansas, as a traditional basketball powerhouse in the United States, has given birth to many basketball superstars and celebrities, so it is natural to hope to have an NBA team of its own.

Min Congda doesn't really care about whether Kansas has an NBA team or not, he cares more about Chris Paul's movements.

"With the Hornets in such turmoil, are they going to start rebuilding?" Min Congda asked.

'That's right, once they start rebuilding, they're going to have a bunch of quality players.'

Every time a team is disbanded, it's a great opportunity for other teams to reinforce each other.

The Hornets are actually very strong, and Paul and David West are at the top of the team.

If the team rebuilds, they are bound to leave, and other teams are already salivating.

Chris Paul, in particular, is one of the few top superstars in the league and is a point guard.

The Hornets are not dead yet, and many teams are already eyeing him.

"But you already have Stephen Curry, so you're not going to be interested in Paul, are you?"

"Paul? Oh no, no, no, not interested, I'm just asking. Min Congda said with a smile.

Of course, he wasn't interested in Paul anymore, how could such a good player get him to the Clippers?

One Curry is enough of a headache for him, and another Paul will kill him.

Min Congda has learned from the Wasps, and attendance is still very important.

At present, the Clippers are getting better and better, and the attendance rate is naturally rising, which is very bad for the team.

However, the recent games have been away from home, and there are few home games, so the Clippers haven't gotten a lot of money in home revenue.

In the past, when there were many home games, the Clippers lost more and won less, which may be the only relief for Min Congda.

"By the way, Chris, maybe you should think about it, and fight for a trade to get Chris Paul. This will definitely be a huge boost to your team's record and box office. ”

Min Congda was not interested in Paul, and instead encouraged Chris Wallace to go for it.

Wallace was suddenly hit by Min Congda, and he really had this thought.

The Grizzlies now have Griffin, and if there is another Paul, the point guard + power forward model is simply a ticket selling weapon.

This season, the Grizzlies have tasted the sweetness of popular superstars, not to mention the full house, and the attendance rate has definitely increased a lot compared to last season.

Even in some of the games of fish belly opponents, there are still many spectators who are there to watch Griffin dunk.

Seeing the Hornets next door bankrupt and being placed in custody due to attendance issues, Wallace was more and more glad that the team had Griffin.

One more Paul, and the Grizzlies are really going to take off!

Still, Paul is said to have preferred to go to the big city. Hey, a small club like ours, except for the draft, is destined to be difficult to attract stars. ”

Wallace sighed, the small ball club wants popularity, and it can only rely on cultivating superstars.

And if you cultivate it well and mature, you may be taken away.

If the Hornets are in a big city, even if the team declines, Paul may stay with the team for a year or two, waiting for a chance to rise again, just like Kobe Bryant.

Min Congda took a drink and said, "Then you sent Gasol away to the Lakers." ”

Wallace smiled awkwardly and said, "This... I also gave Gasol a chance to win the championship and West a face, also out of friendship. Besides, Gasol Jr. ......"

Wallace wanted to say that Gasol Jr. was not bad, but now Gasol Jr. was also sent to Los Angeles by him to change to Kaman!

Wallace's heart was suddenly full of bitterness, I can't do business with you big city people anymore, it's too bad.
