Chapter 211: Enter the Big Ball City, Clippers!
Of course, to say that the Pelican's foundation is good, in fact, it is relative.
After all, the Hornets are competing with the Pelicans right now.
If you really want to say that the foundation is now, the foundation of the Timberwolves is very good.
However, Su Chen took a look at the lottery conditions.
[In addition to the debut high-level guaranteed lottery and the first win intermediate guaranteed lottery, teams with a playoff elimination evaluation of grade A or above will get a chance to win an ordinary lottery, a high-level guaranteed lottery once if they win the championship, and a chance to get a regular lottery if they get 20 consecutive wins in the regular season.] 】
Note: If you coach the same team for two consecutive seasons, the playoffs will be upgraded to the elimination of S-tier teams, and 30 consecutive wins in the regular season will be added up in turn.
If you are still coaching the Timberwolves next season, you will have to win 30 consecutive wins in the regular season to draw the lottery.
As for the playoffs, the S-tier teams must be eliminated.
Although there are quite a lot of strong teams in the west, there are only two or three S-level teams, and there are fewer draws, and then other S-level teams have started to play in advance, so there will be one less draw.
With his current ability, it's enough, but who would dislike these things like prop skills.
It's definitely going to be a change of team this season.
If you want to grow in one team and even build a dynasty, let's keep it for the next team.
Just when Su Chen had already started to plan ahead with the Pelican player roster, a phone call came.
"Is this a call from the Clippers?"
In any case, he also worked as the general manager of the Timberwolves for a season, and there are still notes on the contact information of the senior management of major teams.
Su Chen was still a little happy when the clipper's call came, but he immediately calmed down.
Today's Clippers are not what they used to be, getting rid of the Iron Rooster boss and ushering in the local tyrant boss Ballmer.
Sitting in a megacity like Los Angeles at the same time, the prospects for the Clippers are very good, very standard big-ball market.
Not only that, but the team also has star players like Chris Paul, Blake Griffin.
You won't let him him, right?
"Hello."
However, out of politeness, Su Chen still picked up the phone.
"Hahaha, Sue, your voice is younger than I thought."
On the other end of the phone, there was a hearty laugh.
Su Chen didn't have any dealings with the Clippers, and he remembered that the senior management of the Clippers didn't have such a voice, but this voice made him feel a little familiar.
"Forgot to introduce myself, I'm the new owner of this team, Ballmer"
After saying hello, Ballmer introduced himself.
It was actually a call from the Clippers owner himself!
"Mr. Ballmer, I didn't expect you to call in person."
Su Chen was a little surprised.
After the two talked for a few words, they got to business.
Although Ballmer personally called, which made Su Chen feel very face-saving, he was talking business.
He didn't give Jordan face, he didn't meet his requirements, and neither did Ballmer.
"Would you like to come to Los Angeles and see the team?"
Ballmer said suddenly.
"This. Mr. Ballmer, I wonder if you have heard of my request? ”
Su Chen didn't directly agree to Ballmer's invitation.
He estimated that Ballmer might delegate some of his rights to him, just like some other big teams had offered him invitations, but that still made Su Chen feel constrained.
If he accepts that, he might as well stay with the Warriors in the first place.
Especially after the Timberwolves enjoyed the feeling of being in power, Su Chen was even less interested in being the second-in-command for others.
Besides, it's not that he doesn't want to be wronged, he has memories about the draft and trades, and he is too lazy to break some things that seem outrageous with others.
When he arrived in Los Angeles and then slowly talked about these conditions, Su Chen felt very bored and didn't want to go on this trip.
When he arrived in Los Angeles and then slowly talked about these conditions, Su Chen felt very bored and didn't want to go on this trip.
Moreover, he is more inclined to agree to the Pelicans, and he did not go to New Orleans first but went to Los Angeles, which inevitably made the Pelicans have ideas.
Even if the Pelicans owner doesn't have an idea, the players have an idea.
In their opinion, Su Chen seemed to have not negotiated with the Clippers and treated them as spare tires, but in fact, Su Chen didn't pay much attention to them at all.
So just to talk about the conditions, Su Chen didn't want to go.
"Of course I do."
Ballmer replied with a smile.
"What do you mean to go to Los Angeles?"
Su Chen said suspiciously.
"Of course it's to come and see your team, your request is not a problem in my opinion, you have had a successful managerial season with the Timberwolves, why don't you believe you?"
Ballmer said directly to Su Chen.
Hearing Ballmer's answer, Su Chen was very surprised.
Even Su Chen took a few seconds to react.
It is equivalent to saying that the teams that agreed to all his conditions were not two, but three.
Hornets, Pelicans, and now one more Clippers.
With the advent of the Clippers, the other two teams are not competitive.
In terms of team foundation, the Clippers can be called luxurious.
Paul, Griffin, and Jordan Jr. are the three core players who are very luxurious, whether they are used for themselves or traded.
To have a good 3D in 3D, to have substitute firepower and Crawford.
Although the shooter is a happy color, you can just lose it directly and exchange it for some assets.
In terms of teams, this is a big ball city team in Los Angeles.
The attraction for free agents is very strong.
After Leonard was traded to the Raptors to lead the Raptors to win the championship, he didn't consider renewing his contract with the Raptors at all, and directly threw himself into the arms of the Clippers.
Even if the Raptors are begging for it, Leonard doesn't look at the Raptors too much, this is the charm of the big ball market.
Let's talk about the boss.
Ballmer's net worth is not in doubt, and he is very willing to invest in the team, and the luxury tax is not an issue at all.
"Okay Mr. Ballmer, I see what you mean, I'll come."
Su Chen directly agreed, ready to take a look at the itinerary and flight.
"By the way, I have a personal plane already parked in Minnesota, if you want to make it convenient for you, just call this number and let my people pick you up."
Ballmer read a number to Su Chen.
The conversation with Ballmer is full of a pride of money.
That's what an NBA owner should look like!
After putting down the phone, Su Chen glanced at the information of the wasp and pelican on the table, and felt a sense of disgust.
Who is Danzi?
I'm not familiar with it.
Stay alone in Charlotte and worry about it.
Which cookie is New Orleans?
Let's go home and make grilled wings.
And that guy with thick eyebrows heard that it was the inside answer in the small ball era?
Sorry, it's been a long time since the Shinobi ball era.
