Super Lord of the Rings

Chapter 714 [At all costs]

Reinsdorf felt uncomfortable eating this meal, and couldn't find a reason to persuade Wang Jun.

Jordan was a little out of control back then, but he would communicate with him. Wang Jun is different, he does not have Jordan's sense of belonging to the Bulls.

Jordan was selected by the Bulls. He never thought about transferring when he was old. He regarded the Bulls as his own team and Chicago was his territory.

Wang Jun is a prodigal son, what he wants is freedom, when he feels bound in a place, he will want to break free. Unfortunately, the Bulls management realized this too late.

Moral kidnapping, early contract renewal, and fans' doubts all made Wang Jun feel bound.

Skiles wanted more rights and went to the Bucks. Wang Jun won the triple crown and also wanted more rights. What Reinsdorf couldn't give him, Vivek could.

Reinsdorf tested Wang Jun's future plans several times, wanting to reveal where he would go, but Wang Jun changed the subject to talk about the entertainment industry, indicating that he would make a movie in the future and was choosing a script.

Hughes told Wang Jun long ago that he can say anything, but don't talk about business.

People like Reinsdorf are very affectionate on the surface. As long as they don't get the benefits they want, they can stab someone in the back when they turn around. As long as he passed on the news to the Maruf brothers, Vivek would have a much harder time taking the king.

Wang Jun is nearly 26 years old, and he is no longer a rookie.

In Sacramento, negotiations between Vivek and the Maloof brothers went well.

The only contender for the king is a syndicate from Seattle. The former Seattle SuperSonics moved to Oklahoma City in the summer and changed their name to the Thunder.

As long as the Kings are sold to the Seattle consortium, the team is likely to move out of Sacramento, which is not allowed by the mayor and fans. The Marouf brothers sold the team, and because they wanted to move the team to Las Vegas, where their business was located, they were voted down by the city.

Vivek not only impressed the Maruf brothers, but also persuaded the leaders of the city to support him.

He promised not to let the Kings leave Sacramento, and intends to invest hundreds of millions in the construction of a new arena, and has formulated a detailed future plan to ensure profitability and attract fans, making the Kings a local pride and symbol.

Vivek's method is very clever, first establish a good relationship with the city council, and when it will definitely be useful in the future, such as building a new arena, if you encounter a needy household, you have to ask for help.

Sacramento has an advantage,

The mayor is Kevin Johnson, a former Suns All-Star point guard and die-hard basketball fan. With this die-hard basketball fan around, the Maloof Brothers would never even think about selling the team to the Seattle consortium.

Vivek is not afraid of how much he invests in the early stage. As long as Wang Jun is willing to come back and play for the Kings, he must have a lot of money.

The only thing that makes Vivek a little upset is that the Kings' poor performance this season has instead become a bargaining chip for the Maruf brothers to raise the price, because they can pick a high-ranking rookie in the summer.

Vivek is a big football fan. He was the head coach of the Ajiali Middle School basketball team and knows basketball very well. He didn't fight unsure battles, and he also listed all the unfavorable situations of the king, trying to lower the price as much as possible.

First of all, the Kings don't have any big-name players, and Kevin Martin, who is worth 55 million in five years, is the top card.

Secondly, there is not even a defensive player in the team. Joe Alexander is not worthy of his pick at all. If he does not trade away, the team will also consider giving up after two seasons.

Larry Hughes, Miller, Raheem, Thomas and his like should be laid off directly, but the contracts are all very big, and they will not expire until 2010.

With these rotten contracts, the Kings are doomed to lose money and compete for the No. 1 pick next season, and it is impossible to have ratings. How could such a bad team be bought at a high price?

Vivek also analyzed the current situation facing the Marouf brothers, whose business has suffered due to the economic crisis.

"If you want to ask a high price, I won't buy it. Others are not fools. You can only continue to lose money until some garbage contracts expire in 2010 to free up salary space. With the popularity of the Kings, what if there is room? There will be Are big-name players willing to join? If you want to rise at that time, you have to pay a premium to attract second-rate stars. It is foreseeable that after a failed season, you will still want to sell the team. Even if you are lucky enough to sell more than 500 million, you will get more Can you leave with 450 million?"

The Maloufu brothers are very clear that under normal circumstances they can bargain, and it is not a bad idea to sell it until 2011. They love this team.

Selling 500 million in 2011 is really not as good as selling at a slightly lower price now. At least they don't have to bear the pressure of losses, and they don't have to continue to use their brains to manage this mess. They can focus on the casino business and get through the economic crisis.

After two years of hard work, the Kings can't sell much more money. Vivek mentioned the point, they can't attract big-name players.

The Maruf brothers couldn't afford to waste time, and waited for the team to rise without confidence. Without a big-name leader, it is impossible to build a team around it. Both Yi Jianlian and Joe Alexander, who were selected with a high pick, can't do it. They really feel desperate.

The external bidding and negotiation took more than two months.

At the end of January, the Marouf brothers finally made a decision and signed the agreement. After bargaining, Vivek acquired 70% of the King's shares at a price of 485 million, and he will soon become the new boss.

It will take two months for the league to be certified and the arbitrator to confirm. After the end of this season, the team will completely change hands. Vivek will go to the draft lottery and build a new front office over the summer.

As soon as the matter was confirmed, Vivek immediately called Wang Jun and had a long talk.

"Wang, I don't urge you to come back. I just hope that you can temporarily serve as a team consultant and give suggestions on player transactions and drafts. We will build the team according to your ideas. Just let me know when you want to come back. .If the NBA asks you to be a restricted free agent in the Bulls, I will trade you at all costs."

There is nothing to say about this attitude, it shows that he has a great say in building a team with him as the core.

The Bulls management never asked Wang Jun who he wanted to join the team. The only time they heard him was to poach Novak, a fringe Rocket who had no chance to play.

In this case, the fool also knows which team to choose.

Wang Jun smiled and said: "I don't want to take half of the team and the Bulls to sign first and then trade. That would not be good for winning the championship, right? I don't want to rush to come back for the time being, but don't worry, I will continue to exercise. When I come back, I will definitely be stronger than now."

"Well, I believe so."

If Wang Jun doesn't play or exercise for two years, he may sign a maximum salary contract when he comes back, which is a garbage contract. He doesn't want to dawdle like that.

The younger sister has already had an operation, and when she can exercise, Wang Jun is going to teach her the "Longevity Method" by hand, and he also asked the hospital experts for this.

Proper exercise is possible, but it must be done step by step, starting with walking, then trotting, combined with drug treatment, and regular review. Wang Jun believes that Le Ying can learn it in a year.

He will also ensure the amount of training. There is a court, a lawn, everything at home, and there is no need to go to the arena.

Wang Jun also has another idea. He plans to take time to participate in other sports, which are related to endurance. As long as he can win a championship in other fields, everyone's jaws will drop.

The endurance event training system can help, and there are still thirteen bottles of stamina coke in the warehouse.
