I am a nobleman in England

It turned out that in July 2008, the Nets sent point guard Marcus Williams to the Warriors and got a 2011 lottery to protect the first-round pick.However, this year the Warriors believe that retaining this draft pick will have greater utility, so they hope that the Nets can agree to replace it with a 2012 draft pick of the same kind, and as compensation for this delay, they are willing to give away two more. The future second-round pick.

To be honest, the 2011 Lotto protection of the first-round picks is not much different from 2012, and agreeing to the Warriors' plan can also get two more future second-round picks. There is really no reason to refuse.

"So why should the Warriors lose money like this?"

After Miles explained the cause, Arthur asked with a slight frown.

"According to what I have learned, the Warriors' move should be related to forward Stephen Jackson's future. Earlier, "Captain Jack" once told the media that he hoped the Warriors would trade themselves to the Houston Rockets, Dallas Mavericks, and San Antonio Spurs. , Or a team like the New York Knicks, the result was a fine of $25,000 in the league.

The Warriors have now decided to keep the first round of the 2011 lottery protection draft. It is likely that they hope to package the pick with Jackson and complete a deal.

Although previously, the Warriors have solemnly stated that they have no plans to trade Jackson.However, according to insiders, the Warriors did not want to change Jackson, but the latter's remaining four-year $35 million contract, so that the Warriors could not find a suitable next home."

Miles smiled and told his young boss about the silly connection, but Arthur's eyes lit up slightly, and he smiled and said to Miles, who showed a sly fox smile, "Look at your smile, is there something? idea?"

"Hehe, I really can't hide the boss." Miles chuckled and said with bright eyes: "The Nets want to rebuild. We need a real star. The current superstars can hardly get into our team unless we It takes a contract with a sky-high price to attract..."

"Impossible. I won't use dollars to make a superstar team. Such a team can be brilliant for a while, but it is unhealthy, like a castle in the air." Arthur would naturally not spend money on a strong team, and his money is not. The wind is blowing.

"Yes, I don't agree, so we need to cultivate our own superstars, and the superstars need good seedlings, so I wonder if we can take advantage of the opportunity of the Warriors' transaction, and we will join in and complete a multi-party transaction. Get the good point guard or power forward we need most." Miles naturally knows what his new boss thinks.

"Huh? Do you already have a candidate?" Arthur's eyes also lit up. He knew Bob Myers' magical trading ability a long time ago. He didn't expect to see his magic so soon. Handwriting.

"Yes, the first candidate is Warriors rookie Stephen Curry, but he played really well, unless the Warriors management is crazy, he will be traded to us, so hope is very slim, but I will try it. test."

Hearing Curry’s name, Arthur was in great interest. In the post-Kobe era, Curry was the most heard name in his previous life. It was a superstar. If it can be traded, tsk tsk, the Nets will be the next ten years. Don't worry.

"You have to try. If you don’t try, how do you know the result? Even if it fails in the end, there will be no loss to us. You can tell Curry, as long as he comes to the Nets, I will give him a four-year 50 million contract. , He is the boss of the Nets!" Arthur was never stingy with Golden Phoenix.

Hearing the conditions thrown by the young boss, Miles' eyes flashed with brilliance. He didn't expect that the boss would be so generous, but he also knew that Curry, who had already scored, wanted to get the Nets really difficult. Great, but fortunately he still has options.

"Understand, boss, I will try my best. If the first candidate Curry can't work, I have another alternative, and that is the Thunder's James Harden. He is also a genius player and a superstar in the future... "

With a familiar name, Arthur nodded with satisfaction and smiled: "Very well, you can take care of these things by yourself. I'll wait for your good news."

For Bob Myers' daring to think, Arthur was very satisfied. Only in this way would his Nets have a future. Then Arthur and Myers began to discuss the specific details of the Nets.

"Myers, now the outside world has ridiculed the two of us for nothing. If we want to dispel the doubts and ridicule from the outside world, we must come up with results. By the way, how did the Nets fans react?" Arthur said to New York. , And even the American media, to be honest, have no good feelings at all, they have almost mocked him in the past two days, and Taylor Swift has also been implicated, saying what keeps the little country queen away from the British. fool.

"Fans still have a positive view and attitude towards us. After all, the Nets in the past were bad and can't be bad anymore. All fans hope that your coming will bring new life to the Nets, as long as you don’t As in the past, I think the fans will continue to support us.” Miles answered truthfully, “As for the pressure of public opinion from the outside, you don’t need to care at all. In order to attract attention and promote sales, they have no bottom line. Limited, we can do our own thing well, and over time, we will lose popularity."

"Haha..." Arthur shook his head noncommittal and smiled, squinting his eyes slightly: "Lost popularity is not what I want to see. Heat represents exposure, and exposure represents popularity. Popularity can be Turn into commercial profits. Look at the Knicks. Their reputation is even worse, but they are indeed the most commercially valuable team in the NBA. Therefore, not only can we not let the heat fall, but we must also hype it..."

With a smile at the corner of Arthur’s mouth, a pair of bright eyes exuding sly eyes, he told the thoughtful Miles: “In this way, although we won’t spend a lot of money on active superstars, we can get the idea. Those super veterans, such as Sharks O’Neal, AI Iverson, I think, if they can come to our Nets, even as a substitute, as long as they play, they will attract a lot of fans to buy tickets and enter the stadium, you say Well, and the veteran is cheap!"

"Cough cough..." Miles twitched, coughing slightly, and said with a slightly embarrassing smile: "Boss, Shark O'Neal is too old. As for Iverson, it can be considered, but he may not be. Accepting the invitation, he may not be worthy of a veteran contract, and he himself has a bad temper, and his state can only linger between second-rate players and first-rate players. Playing for a long time and taking too much time will attract a lot of players. It causes internal disagreement. Once the playing time is short, he will be dissatisfied..."

"Haha, I'm not afraid. The Sharks are a living sign of the NBA. If he chooses to retire in our team, the popularity of our Nets will definitely rise to a higher level. O'Neal is a smart, very experienced man. I miss him It will help our team, and the most important thing is that the price is cheap, but what it can bring us is definitely value for money!"

Arthur really valued a representative veteran like O'Neal. Michael Jordan has been around for a long time. For the new generation of young people, the OK combination of the Los Angeles Lakers, Shark O'Neal and Blackman Barcoby are the ones they are most familiar with. NBA superstars, especially their popularity in the world, are the living signs of the NBA.

As for the answer Iverson, let alone, in the hearts of many fans, that is an answer, a legend, he himself has such and other problems, but this does not hinder his value, the key is to see how to squeeze His value.

"As for Iverson, you can tell him frankly, what we expect of him, I believe that he should know better than anyone else. The era that belongs to him has passed. If you don't accept the reality, you can only leave the NBA. I think, leave. The NBA is the most unacceptable to him, and he will figure it out clearly."

"Well, boss, I will contact the agent of these two people, but boss, you have to be mentally prepared, the media will definitely mock us, sign the old, the weak, the sick, and the Nets will be dark in the future... "

"Haha, let them be black, not black or red. The darker they are, the more famous they will be. Popularity is more important than anything else. Also, tell the marketing department that when O'Neill and Iverson arrive, they will immediately increase their advertising costs, especially the Chinese Enterprises, I think they will be very happy to pay for Tianchaoyi, haha..."

Arthur, who knows the situation of the celestial dynasty very well, understands that the big sharks, Iverson and Space Yi’s teammates will cause great repercussions in the celestial dynasty. All kinds of blows are affirmative, and the popularity of the Nets increases, not bad The money-rich Chinese companies will scramble to give him money.

"Hehe, after we announced that we would not trade Tianchaoyi, in the past two days, many Tianchao companies have called to consult about advertising cooperation. I have to say that the commercial value of Tianchaoyi really surprised me." Meyer Si remembered the cooperation calls he had received from the celestial companies, and said with sincere emotion, looking at the young boss in front of him with admiration.

"Haha, don’t worry, Tian Chao Yi, a cash cow, must be raised for me. When Tian Chao Yao retires, he will be our trump card. Rockets owner Alexander can rely on Tian Chao Yao to double his value, and we can also rely on Tian Chao Yi. Become the second rocket!" Arthur knows better than everyone that it hasn't been long since Dayao retired. At that time, Dakongyi will be the only one in the NBA. The commercial value, tusk, can just wake up in dreams.
