The Pope of Basketball Community

Abel Paulin made a miscalculation. As the saying goes, those who are barefoot are not afraid of those who wear shoes. No matter how powerful the boss is, he cannot stand up to the desperate employees. Yang Rui doesn't mind dying together, can Paulin win him?

Next, Yang Rui answered reporters’ questions.

"Pauline used Michael to increase the value of the Wizards. When Michael wanted to become a shareholder of the team, he was rejected because he was no longer useful. And I did not receive a call from the manager or owner after the season, regardless of the draft. The transaction was all completed without my consent. My contract clearly states that the management must listen to me regarding trading rights, draft picks, and team promotion."

The reporter asked: "Are you angry now?"

Yang Rui said loudly: "Of course I'm angry. Before I joined, the Wizards were a bad team at the bottom. Before Michael came back, they were a bad team at the bottom that no one paid attention to. Now that the team has won the championship, some people can't sit still. Fight for benefits and grab credit. I don’t want to argue with them, just take the money that should be given to me, and they can find whoever they want to lead the team to defend the title.”

The reporter asked: "Do you regret giving up coaching the championship team?"

"Dignity is more important than the championship. If someone wants to tie a chain around your neck and use you to make money without treating you as a human being, who would be willing to work for such a person?" Yang Rui said seriously.

The reporter asked: "Do you think the lawsuit will be won?"

"The evidence is conclusive and good and evil are clear. How could I possibly lose the case?"

The next day, Yang Rui's lawsuit against the Wizards hit the headlines of major sports media and became the most attention-grabbing news of the offseason. As a result, O'Neal's pressure has doubled, and there are fewer people criticizing him for leaving the Heat. There is a huge gap in influence between O'Neal, who has only one championship, and O'Neal, who has led the Lakers to three consecutive championships and three consecutive FMVPs.

Abel Pauline's popularity soared and he became synonymous with "shameless". The media criticized him, fans denounced him, and even Wizards fans called him SB. Pauline was not only angry after reading the news, but almost lost his temper. He was sent to the hospital overnight by his family. He seemed to have aged 10 years.

Bolin's family immediately denounced Yang Rui, but since ancient times, they could not sue Yang Rui, and they could not get support from fans and media. If Abel Paulin was really a good boss, how could he have fallen out with Jordan and Yang Rui one after another after the team reached its peak?

Hamilton also supported Jordan with actions and signed with the Denver Nuggets with a five-year, $60 million premium contract.

Yang Rui knew that the butterfly effect was happening again. At this time, the Nuggets had sufficient salary space and signed Hamilton. The total salary next season will be less than 50 million US dollars.

The Nuggets will have a starting lineup of Andre Miller, Hamilton, Carmelo Anthony, Hilario, and Marcus Camby in the new season.

The Nuggets also have Boykins, Woshan Leonard, Jon Barry and other attackers on their bench, and they are very competitive.

The most important thing is that by signing Hamilton, the Nuggets will have no salary space to dig Kenyon Martin next year, avoiding a catastrophic problem. In Yang Rui's previous life, Martin signed a famously bad contract with the Nuggets for 7 years and 92.5 million. He was injured for many years and defrauded the Nuggets. Now the Nuggets have a reasonable lineup and are likely to become a dark horse.

The Wizards lost both their wife and soldiers, which became a joke on the Internet, causing fans to comment and complain.

"The team just won the championship and Abel Paulin drove away Jordan and showed shame to the best coach. Where did he get the confidence?"

"Pauline is crazy. Doesn't he know that Jerry Young's greatest specialty is not coaching, but trolling people? If you have a conflict with him, you are just dissatisfied with your own longevity."

"As soon as Nelson came out of the hospital, the Wizards boss went in. Care for life and stay away from Jerry."

"The Kings said the coaching position has become vacant for Jerry Young."

"The Suns said that the coaching position has been vacated, waiting for Jerry Young..."

Unseld read the online comments and broke into a cold sweat. The matter was getting serious. He suspected that not only Jerry would leave, but he would also have to leave. He knows the boss, and if a scapegoat is needed on the team, it's him. He suddenly began to understand Yang Rui. Abel was indeed not a good boss.

When you follow Abel, the boss eats the meat and the employees eat the soup. Jordan and Yang Rui are ambitious and dissatisfied with soup, which is different from Unseld.

Yang Rui has more than one way out. After leading the Wizards to win the championship, he changed his name too much. If the other 28 teams are without coaches, then all teams will want him to join, and most of the team conditions are at his disposal.

Those who have golden jobs are not those with contracts, but those with ability.

For Yang Rui, the contract is just a bondage. As a major shareholder of Facebook, he also invests in movies in partnership with Jennifer Aniston, so he is not short of money at all.

Now Thomas is talking to other executives about taking Facebook public, perhaps in 2004. As a company that is favored by countless people, once it goes public, Yang Rui will become richer than Abel Paulin, and he is naturally very confident.

A week later, Thomas hired lawyer George Murphy and prepared to go to court with the Wizards owner. Of course Abel Paulin was unwilling to pay, and the liquidated damages were higher than Yang Rui's deserved salary.

As a result, Paulin once again set a new lower limit for shamelessness and counter-accused Yang Rui of fraud, saying that Yang Rui deceived them when signing the contract and had no intention of fulfilling the obligations in the contract and only thought about how to make money.

"When signing the contract, Jerry Young promised the Wizards that he would fulfill his obligations and serve as the Wizards' head coach until the 2007 season. The Wizards believed in his promise and did not want Jerry Young to take on this responsibility at all, so These promises are false."

The reason why the Wizards sued Yang Rui is ridiculous. It is clearly a word game.

Murphy said: "Even a blind person can understand their purpose. The Wizards are delaying tactics and do not want to pay Jerry Young. But such a strategy is useless. We are extremely confident in the evidence we have."

Then, for such a simple case, the court has not opened a hearing, let alone pronounced a verdict.

It was Yang Rui's first time in a lawsuit and he found that American law was not as simple as he thought. There is a long queue to file a lawsuit in the United States, and the efficiency of the courts is extremely low. This kind of labor relations lawsuit can be easily delayed and can take several years to be fought.

Yang Rui made a bit of a miscalculation and then remembered that in his previous life in 2009, Elgin Baylor sued the Clippers to court. He said that the Clippers discriminated against him based on age and race in terms of employment. As a result, the lawsuit lasted until 2011, when the court jury rejected Baylor's various accusations of age discrimination and announced that he would not receive compensation.

There are many lawsuits in the NBA, and only the dispute between Larry Brown and the Knicks was resolved quickly.

The reason for the quick settlement was that Brown gave in. Brown's lawyer initially asked the Knicks to pay Brown $53 million in compensation, including the $41 million in remaining salary, plus $12 million in liquidated damages.

Later, the compensation dispute came to an end under the mediation of NBA Commissioner David Stern. Brown's final breakup fee was only $18.5 million.

Now, Yang Rui also understands Abel Paulin's intention.

It doesn't matter if he can't win the lawsuit, Paulin can delay the time to disgust Yang Rui, but until the lawsuit is over, Yang Rui will not be free to join other teams as a coach. If this drags on for two years, the Wizards will eventually lose money and Yang Rui will not be considered a winner.
