Chapter 702

It has to be said that now Paul Allen's idea is perfect, at least for the trailblazers.

After the trailblazers signed Granger, they made a deal with the trailblazers, and they exchanged Xiao Ao for Granger, which not only didn't need to worry about the salary space, but also could solve the problem of Durant's lack of firepower when he left the team.

It must be said that this is a perfect idea, provided Richard agrees.

"Paul, I can't promise that. You know the pirates don't belong to me."

"If I had the pirates, I would have accepted the deal, but now I have to think about Jordan's feelings."

Said Richard, frowning.

It's not a loss to say that the pirate team lost money in this deal. After all, the pirate team didn't intend to renew Granger's contract. Now it's not a loss to exchange Granger for a new player.

Although xiao'ao is in an unstable physical condition, he still has some strength, which may be slightly worse than the old O'Neill, but it is also the league's number of insiders, otherwise, there won't be so many teams to submit transaction offers to the Blazers.

But the problem is, Xiao Ao's salary is very high, and the top salary level contract, at present, the pirate team can eat it.

But the problem is that the pirate team doesn't need xiao'ao. Even if Oden leaves, Richard can start using xiao'ao Jordan. Xiao'ao's role at present is not necessarily better than that of xiao'ao.

He didn't need xiao'ao, but also had to give xiao'ao a super high salary. Jordan would be surprised if he didn't have a problem.

When he signed a contract of 1.8 million US dollars, such as Rahim's and Barry's, Jordan still didn't pay attention to it, but a contract of 15 million US dollars, no matter how big Jordan's heart, would be hard to accept.

If Richard is in charge of the pirate team alone, he may not hesitate to agree with the father-in-law.

After all, xiao'ao is also his favorite disciple. It is a happy ending to let xiao'ao grow old under his own hands.

As for the ten million dollars wasted, Richard didn't pay much attention.

And to make Paul Allen happy, Richard would not do it.

……

Hearing Richard's words, Paul Allen was puzzled, but he ignored it.

If the pirate team belonged to Richard, his proposal just now would work.

At that time, I will subsidize Richard a little. Anyway, it's all my family. Paul Allen won't really let Richard suffer.

But now it's complicated because of Jordan.

"What did you think at that time, how did you do business with others? It's so complicated now." Paul Allen said in a tangled voice.

Richard laughed. Paul Allen had been cheated with others before, so he is almost a lone ranger now

At that time, I also wanted to win the pirate team by myself, but at that time, Richard was basically out of business, not only Richard, Jordan wanted to take over the pirate team by himself, but also completely out of business.

If he didn't join Jordan in the pirate team at that time, Richard might be the owner of the warriors at present.

"I advise you to find a chance to do it alone. In fact, the piston is a good chance. As a result, you didn't cherish it." Paul Allen sighed.

Richard wryly laughs. He may buy a team in Paul Allen's eyes. It's as difficult as going to the supermarket to buy a bunch of vegetables.

"Well, Paul, how about that."

"You continue to sell Jermaine, but if you want to change the player whose contract expires this year, you'd better let the other side pack up and add a draft or something, and then I'll find a way to let Granger join the Blazers." Richard finally came up with a compromise idea.

"Are you sure? Li, will Granger join the Blazers? Instead of joining a team like New York? " Paul Allen asked, frowning.

Richard nodded and grasped that he still had one.

"I don't have full assurance, but there are still 80% assurance. Even if you don't get Granger, it doesn't matter. I'll find a suitable replacement for you." Said Richard with a smile.

There are so many top small forwards in 10 years and 11 years. Just find Paul Allen, so even if Granger doesn't join the trailblazer in the end, it's only to let the trailblazer rise one year later.

……

After Richard's reply, Paul Allen breathed a sigh of relief, and he was more than sure.

The new plan is not bad. If Granger signs the trailblazers, it's no different from Paul Allen's plan.

Anyway, the ultimate goal of the pioneers is to win Granger and keep the salary space.

……

After talking about the business, it's time for the two of you to talk big.

"Li, don't you want to control a team by yourself? I'll tell you, it's a wonderful feeling. I'll control the power of life and death by myself, and I'll drive anyone who doesn't like it... " Paul Allen said with a smile.Richard nodded, who doesn't want to take full control of a team, but now there is no suitable opportunity and goal.

"I have a plan for this, but not right now. I'm waiting for an opportunity." Richard is not going to hide it from Paul Allen either.

"Well? Li, which team is it? What is the opportunity? " Paul Allen asked with great interest.

Richard is his family, and he certainly thinks that Richard can have a better development.

Now Richard is very good, but in Paul Allen's opinion, it's better to fly alone earlier when he is in business with others and will fall out one day.

The old man was afraid of the pit. Once he was bitten by a snake, he was afraid of the well rope for ten years

"La express!" Said Richard slowly.

If it wasn't for Paul Allen today, Richard would not have said it.

This is a little secret of Richard.

Paul Allen looks stunned, Los Angeles express? He didn't expect Richard to tell the Los Angeles express

In his view, Richard may choose a small market team, and then slowly develop.

But it's a surprise that Richard even stares at the big cake in Los Angeles.

Look at the size of Los Angeles's basketball market. Even if they are the last to last in the league, their profitability is still the top two in the league, let alone the strength of the Lakers. It's really eye-catching to see how much money they make.

The Los Angeles Clippers, as the Lakers' own city team, must be far behind the Lakers in terms of their background and popularity, so their market value is not particularly high.

But even if the market value is not as high as that of the Lakers, the market value of the Clippers has a level of 450 million.

To say four hundred million or five hundred million words, Paul Alan knows Li Chade can come out, but now the key problem is that the clipper owners have no plans to sell the team, before someone offered five hundred million dollars to buy the clipper, the Stryn birds are no birds.

Sterling has ambitions to turn the Clippers into Lakers like giants and occupy Los Angeles. As long as the team doesn't sell, there will be opportunities sooner or later.

So don't say it's 500 million dollars. Someone later offered 700 million dollars, and Sterling didn't let go.

Unless the price is raised to more than $1 billion, maybe Sterling can think about it.

Paul Allen knew all about the situation. He frowned at Richard.

"Li, the clipper is not so easy to get, unless you are willing to be a big enemy, such as bidding more than one billion dollars, which may impress the old man Stirling."

"Is there any chance that old Stirling will come up with the idea of selling the clipper?" Paul Allen thought of the opportunity Richard had just said and asked.

Richard nodded. "Yes, there is an opportunity, but it will take a long time."

"I'm patient. Wait slowly. Sooner or later, the clipper will be mine."

Paul Allen nodded and didn't ask Richard what the opportunity was.

Some words don't need to be asked too clearly. Paul Allen knows that Richard is sure enough.

He is also happy for Richard. If he can win the Los Angeles clipper, with the vast market and Richard's excellent team building ability, maybe the clipper will become a top class player like the Lakers in a few decades.

He believed that Richard must have such ability.

……

Richard was not prepared to tell Paul Allen about the opportunity.

The so-called opportunity is no doubt that sterling's racist comments were exposed, leading to the League forced sterling to sell the team.

In fact, sterling was also trapped. His daily conversation with his girlfriend was recorded, in which he said words about discrimination against black people. After the recording burst out, it directly killed sterling.

Xiao Hua was in power at the time and promised to force sterling to sell the team as soon as possible.

And the players' Union doesn't stop. If Sterling doesn't sell the team, the players will strike in the playoffs.

To know that the NBA is also known as the black League, in which the black community is the mainstream, how can they bear the words of Stirling.

The players are going to strike, and the owners of each team are not happy with it. Together with Xiao Hua, they kicked Sterling out of the league.

……

Now think about it, sterling was hit by a woman. How could he think that his daily chat with his girlfriend would burst out.

In other words, there are at least two or three out of ten white people who discriminate against black people, which is still a little less said.

But if someone said something like that, it would not have the effect of Stirling.

……

Richard is now waiting for such an opportunity. After more than ten years of observation, what should happen in normal history will happen, so sterling will be forced to sell the team.

However, it happened in 2014, which is not a short time from now. Richard can only wait patiently.For a few years, Richard could afford to wait.

But maybe it won't take too long. I don't know if Stirling's story will come out in advance.

As soon as this happens, Richard will join in the battle for Los Angeles clipper. Even if there are more competitors, Richard will spare no effort to take down the clipper.
