"This evening, we will lose our greatest manager."
"No, he's the greatest manager in the league, in history."
"Richard is leaving Charlotte. I don't think it's a secret."
"Before he leaves, the only thing we can do is to retire his shirt and always remember his contribution to Charlotte." Jordan said slowly and affectionately.
Richard was a little sad, and Jordan's speech was a little too provocative. It was the same as his driving to the West
The team is about to retire Richard's Jersey, which is not unexpected to the fans.
After all, there was a precedent for pioneers and pistons before. With the relationship between Jordan and Richard, he would definitely let Richard leave in a dignified way.
……
People have not retired. There are three teams that have retired their jerseys. Richard can't say what kind of feeling it is.
It's quite strange anyway
Because of the previous experience of leaving the trailblazers and pistons, Richard's heart was calm this time.
It's mainly because the day Richard took over the pirate team, he actually thought of today's scene.
He's just a passer-by for the pirates, and he's sure he'll have a team of his own sooner or later.
In the next week, the wish may come true.
……
At the end of the night, Richard took the child directly to school the next day to go through the transfer formalities.
Transfer, of course, is to transfer to Los Angeles.
From this, we can see Richard's courage. This time, even if he tried to smash pots and sell iron, Richard would never let the clipper slip away from his own hands.
After completing the formalities in the morning, Richard flew to Los Angeles with Tiana and four children in the afternoon. He had asked sun Xiaoben to arrange his residence in Los Angeles half a month in advance.
……
"Paul, you have to give me a good hand this time. I will get the Los Angeles express!" Richard said with a wry smile when he saw Paul Allen at the airport.
Paul Allen also arrived in Los Angeles one day ahead of schedule. How could he not be here for this billion plus business
Of course, the main thing he wants to see this time is his four little grandsons.
"Li, are you crazy?"
"It's said that the Hornets are going to change hands at present. You might as well buy the Hornets. I think I can buy them for more than 300 million dollars." Paul Allen obviously knows the situation. He feels that Richard is a little bit adventurous.
Richard nodded. "The Hornet is only an alternative. I will try my best for the Clippers."
"Paul, you should understand the potential of the clippers and also my ability. It may not take long for the market value of the Clippers to soar in my hands, so no matter how much money I offer, I will definitely make a steady profit in the end." Richard said confidently.
"Well, since you are sure, I won't advise you."
"If I have money, I still have some working capital, about 500 million US dollars, which can be taken out at any time. In addition, I have a part of money about 400 million points. Although it's troublesome, I will help you if you need it." Paul Allen said with a smile.
Richard is his family, the key thing Richard does is the right way, he has no reason not to help Richard.
Richard nodded. Paul Allen's billion dollar assistance made him confident.
"By the way, the old Ballmer called me yesterday and said he wanted to meet you and talk. Would you like to go?"
Paul Allen and Ballmer both made their fortune from Microsoft, and they said that there was nothing wrong with being colleagues.
At present, Ballmer is the president of Microsoft, and Paul Allen is the shareholder of Microsoft. It's quite normal that there is a connection between the two.
"See you. I'd like to talk to him, but I'll wait until I see stern tonight." Richard nodded.
Stern is also in Los Angeles now. He can't stay in New York for such a heavy event, but he will personally come to Los Angeles to preside over the overall situation.
"Well, go ahead and do your work. I'll take little Mary to Los Angeles." Paul Allen looked at Little Mary fondly and said with a smile.
Three bad boys are totally out of favor now. Paul Allen must have only little Mary in his eyes.
……
"Li, sit down." Stern said to Richard calmly.
Richard sat opposite stern and Xiao Hua and looked at them calmly.
Before, Richard and Xiao Hua had more contacts, but they didn't have much face-to-face communication with stern.
The main reason is that the relationship between the two has been very stiff.
However, stern, who has retirement ideas at present, shows his attitude of trying to ease the relationship with Richard."I'll go straight to the point and say that I want to buy the clipper, no one can stop me." Richard didn't beat around the Bush and came up to express his attitude.
The two people sitting opposite him laughed bitterly. The guy was so straightforward.
"In fact, you should know that if I take over the clippers, it will be the most beneficial thing for the league. I am confident to build the Clippers team into another Lakers!"
"No, it will even surpass the Lakers and become the top player in the League!" Richard said confidently.
There is no doubt that the Lakers are the league's number one.
Green has more titles than the Lakers, but they don't have the Lakers' super market.
The Knicks have a slightly better market than the Lakers, but they don't have the Lakers.
So, on the whole, the NBA's number one player is undoubtedly the Lakers.
Now Richard's goal is to build the Clippers into the league's top player to surpass the Lakers!
"Li, we are very clear about your ability and we all believe in you. The reason why we came to Los Angeles this time is actually to help you." Xiao Hua said with a smile.
Stern nodded, obviously agreeing with Xiao Hua.
Richard was completely confused. Did he have an illusion?
Stern is going to help himself with this?!
Anyway, it's definitely not Xiao Hua's idea. Even if Xiao Hua wants to help himself, he doesn't have the ability at present.
"Did I hear you right? Don't make fun of me on such a thing. " Said Richard, frowning.
He had come to see stern, and he was ready to scold stern, and the following plans were all worked out
But I never expected that Stern would come to Los Angeles to help himself, which made Richard's head full of fog.
"No mistake. We won't joke about this kind of thing."
"Li, you should know that every move I make is to bring benefits to the alliance, and letting you buy clipper is indeed the best plan for the alliance."
"So, this time I came..."
Stern said calmly, as if he had forgotten what Richard had done to him.
It is really important for the alliance to let Richard acquire clipper.
If Richard can get the Clippers together, a Clippers team alone can equal five or six teams, and the market value of the league can definitely rise.
This is clearly the scene stern and Shaw would love to see.
And this time they came to Los Angeles, a large part of the reason is to clear the way for Richard.
Of course, they will certainly take this opportunity to make some requests to Richard.
