Legendary Basketball Tycoon

Bruce didn’t want to agree to Jordan’s return of Charles Oakley to the Hans. Yes, Charles Oakley’s return would definitely improve the strength of the Hans. But here comes the problem. His joining is likely to make Bruce pay the luxury tax again, but Bruce didn’t. Paul Allen is so rich, he has saved money in the past few years, otherwise, how could he let Mitch Kupchak discover those rookies and free agents who failed in the summer league next season? This is obviously To save money.

Oh, as soon as Jordan said it, he would go and do it, thinking of something beautiful!

He can be Stern’s licking dog, because he will still need Stern in these years, so he can coax Stern well. He can live comfortably in the league, and Jordan hasn’t let Bruce lose. To the point of licking this face, even if he is a global superstar, it is useless, because he can't help Bruce in any way, so why care about what Jordan said.

If he can help, he might help. Of course, if Charles Oakley can accept a veteran contract like Sam Perkins, there is no problem at all. Just accept it, but if Charles Oakley asks for a high contract Sorry, he is very poor at the moment, and he doesn't have that much money to sign these "stars" back for retirement.

Of course, Jordan is also very clear about what Bruce is talking about. It stands to reason that Charles Oakley can still play for a few years. He must not be able to get a retirement contract. The penultimate major contract in his career can still be obtained, but Bruce This side has also stated clearly to him that if he wants to return to the Han, he must accept the retirement contract. This is a big problem.

As a friend of Jordan, I don’t want Charles Oakley to accept this contract, because he has the opportunity to get a big contract. Why do he want to mix the retirement contract? But having said that, the Han is probably the most suitable for Charles Oakley to stay. The other bosses in the league will not consider the feelings of the players, and Bruce is definitely an alternative. If he hadn't been playing with the Bulls, then he would have wanted to transfer to the Han. It’s a pity that the Han didn’t show up earlier. Time!

"Bruce, I understand your considerations, but aren't the Hans going to rebuild next season? The team should have full salary space to sign Charles Oakley's Sa!" Jordan asked suspiciously.

It can be said that Jordan is doing his best to help his friends, otherwise he would not ask Bruce again and again. He heard that Bruce was really annoying.

"Michael, I beg you to renew my contract whether it is Kobe or Kevin. Don’t tell me you don’t know how popular they are in the league. Most of my salary space next season is to be renewed. Kevin renewed his contract. It will be Kobe’s turn next year. Besides, Alonzo and other veterans don’t pay salaries. You said I have a lot of money next year to sign other players. I will start next season. I can only search for treasures in the summer league. Brother, you think I’m so poor. Are you helping me at this time? Not much? I can sign Charles Oakley by taking out part of your salary. It's down." Bruce replied with a wry smile.

He is indeed very tight now. He did not lie to Jordan on this point. Otherwise, Bruce would not let Mickey Kupchak trade those who want to leave the team and trade them away. After that, it means that the team’s salary cap will have a lot of space to use. He wants to hurry up and renew these important players, but he doesn't want to wait for them to freely give away to other teams.

Speaking of this, Bruce couldn’t help but vomit. If it weren’t for the labor negotiations triggered by Glenn Robinson in 1994, he would have no such troubles now. He could renew Garnett and Kobe for 10 years at the same time in the 95-96 season. All of the above contracts are fine. It is a pity that the league re-established rookie contracts after the end of labor negotiations that year. Starting in 1995, rookies have all become familiar 3+1 rookie contracts.

This not only pitted Bruce, but also pitted the owners of other teams. I would like to ask if there will be a genius like Kobe in the future, if you only use 3+1 insurance, people will become after these four years. Freedom, when you go to other teams, you won't have time to cry.

At this point, Bruce wanted to suggest something to Stern. Every team has a rookie owner with a rookie contract of more than four years every five years, which is comparable to that of "Magic" Johnson. It’s just a long-term contract. It’s a pity that he doesn’t have an ally to support him. After all, those people don’t know that those people are super-giants. Those people are not. Signing a long-term contract is very risky. Except for Bruce, basically No one agrees.

It is a pity that Bruce has not been able to sign Kobe like the old Bass in signing "Magic" Johnson in 25 years, otherwise it would be a good story.

"Fuck... you will have no money, you have no money to play in NBA, how can you have no money if you have a big business, Huyou, don't you?"

Jordan’s money is generally only two places to go, one is to eat, drink and play, and the other is to give it to the casino.

However, under Bruce's advice, Jordan behaved very well during this period of time, and basically didn't go out to cheer up, which also caused him to become like Bruce.

Hearing that Bruce asked him for money to sign Charles Oakley, it was obvious that he was reluctant. Please keep his money for the salary of the Hornets in a few years. He has no spare money now, I didn’t see it. Hasn't he been going out to make fun of people lately? The Bruce's big business still asks him for money, it's a bit too much.

"Michael, I don't have extra spare money. Not to mention that my own industry needs to flow in all aspects. Even the money I want to buy the Hornets for you can't be easily moved now!"

"So either Charles Oakley is willing to sign a veteran contract, or he can only go to other teams. I really don't have any extra money to sign him. Sorry Michael!" Bruce replied helplessly.

"It's okay, I'll just talk about it, then I will ask him, if he accepts, then I will call you again!"

It's about whether he can own the Hornets, an NBA team, so Jordan will not force the Blues to be too tight. Compared with his friends and the team, everyone knows which one is more important!

For Jordan's "realistic" answer, Bruce rolled his eyes. He was indeed disgusted by Jordan. It was too realistic. He believed that if the Hornets were not mentioned, then Jordan would definitely look for him to continue to grind.

"Michael, do you have anything else? If not, so be it. How about the rest when I come to the United States?!" Bruce also talked about it and thought it was about time, and it's time to let it go.

There are still a few calls waiting for him to answer, and there is no spare time to chat with Jordan and talk about some things.
