The Godfather of Basketball

Oden and Yi Jianlian are in the same session. In 2007, he was even smaller than Yi Jianlian. He was born in January 88 and is only 27 years old.

Originally known as the fit of Russell and Chamberlain, he played 82 games in the Blazers in 5 years, and played 23 games in the Heat two years ago. Counting 15 games last season with the Nets, this total Played 120 games.

Because of his injuries, his infinite possible future has been wiped out. Although it is not realistic to become a Chamberlain and Russell-level player, if there is no injury, his performance must be more than that.

Now he is ready to retire.

Oden played in Brooklyn for a year, and now he is still in Brooklyn. Tang Tian went directly to his apartment.

"You are willing to retire like this?" Tang Tian opened his door and saw the mountain.

Oden was a little hesitant. He was surprised by Tang Tian's visit. After all, he is just a talented player who hasn't redeemed his talent, and Tang Tian is the owner of the team.

Asked by Tang Tian directly, he didn't know how to answer.

"Mr. Tang, I can't play on my knees anymore, I'm finished." After a long time, he said helplessly.

It's over. After hearing this, Tang Tian knew that Oden was really broken.

In fact, in such a situation, it is normal for anyone to change their mindset, and even to the present, Oden's psychological quality is already very good.

You should know that the combination of Chamberlain and Russell was what people expected of him at the time, but also what he expected of himself.

Falling from the clouds to the bottom and falling all the way down can be called psychological torture.

However, Oden's reaction gave Tang Tian confidence, which was different from Yao Ming's situation.

"Would you like to try Chinese medicine? I know there is a Chinese medicine museum in Houston. T has been there ..." Although a few years later, Tang Tian has moved out of his usual routine.

"Traditional Chinese medicine?" Oden was skeptical.

"You have no other choice, do you? You can try nothing before giving up."

Oden nodded.

He was rushed to the doctor with the same mentality as McGrady.

The same story, the same scene, the difference is that a person changed around.

Old Chinese medicine is familiar with driving, Tang Tian is also experienced in exchanging iron knees, and Oden almost excitedly collapsed on the spot, and the signing was natural.

With Oden back to Brooklyn, the Nets' roster is almost finalized.

Just then, Jones brought him the latest trading information of Bojan Bogdanovic.

Because of the performance of last season's playoffs, Boyang's current market is only worth one second round, which is obviously not cost-effective. Instead, it is Will Barton. The Nuggets are very interested in him and are willing to pay him the first round price .

Button is an important rotation for the Nets, and just signed a cheap contract, Tang Tian did not want to trade him out.

But when I heard that it was the first round in 17 years, he directly agreed.

The Nuggets signed Millsap this season, as well as Moody's selected this year, and the outstanding role players such as Nurkic, Gallinari, Harris, etc., definitely want to dash the results, but This will definitely require a running-in process. If the running-in is successful in a year or two, the first round of 17 years will not be so valuable to them.

Tang Tian agreed, because compared to 16 years, 17 years is a draft year, even if the lottery is not lottery.

Because Button's contract was just signed, according to the rules, the transaction will not officially take effect until one month later, but the completion of this transaction has also basically determined the Nets' 15-man roster for the new season.

(Note: At the time of the Barton deal, the Spurs also traded Jonathan Simmons for the first round of 17 years.)

Point guards: Deron, Livingston, TJ McConaughey

Guards: Devin Booker, Eric Gordon, Taylor Johnson

Small forward: Jimmy Butler, Tracy McGrady, Bojan Bogdanovic, Randy Hollis Jefferson

Power forward: Yi Jianlian, David West

Centers: Jokic, Pralim, Oden

West and the Nets signed 2.5 million a year, the Nets' total salary is about 85 million, and paid a luxury tax of 1 million, which is true compared to the luxury tax of more than 90 million in the past year. Can be ignored.

And unlike last year, with this lineup, Tang Tian can finally set the championship as the goal again.

Although the Cavaliers, the Warriors, even the Spurs, Thunder, and Pacers are difficult opponents, the Nets are far less powerful than the Thunder, Cavaliers and even the Rockets he coached. He looked at his opponent as he did last year.

The lineup was finalized, and Tang Tian finally had the time to turn his attention to the shares.

The league is not just emailing him now. As the Nets' strength increases, the vice president of the league directly calls to start him.

The Warriors just won the NBA championship, and because of its location in the Bay Area, the market value is rising almost every day. When the news that Swift was about to sell 20% of the Warriors shares came out, there was a steady stream of purchasers.

Among them, venture capitalist Mark Stevens who participated in the previous auction stood out among the competitors.

"This time I won't let the opportunity slip away." This is the rhetoric of Stevens when participating in the auction.

As a venture capitalist, he previously miscalculated the value of the Warriors. Now that the market value of the Warriors is rising, he is really ready to spend some money.

In such a scenario, Tang Tian liked to hear that the greater the competition, the more the real price would be sold, and the lower the price he would purchase those shares in Lat's hands.

The value of the Warriors is 1.8 billion, and the value of 20% of the shares is about 360 million, but just like the Clippers and the Nets sold at the time, the value of a truly valuable team does not actually represent anything.

And in order to avoid causing market turbulence, the specific number of shares will not be truly public, only those involved in the bidding will know.

At the end of the first round of auctions, the value of 20% of the shares has exceeded 420 million, which is more than 60 million US dollars more than the valuation.

By the end of the second round of bidding ~ www.novelmtl.com ~ the market value has soared to 500 million.

Stevens was really cruel this time.

At this time, other competitors were also competing. In the end, the 20% of the Warriors shares were eventually included in Stevens with a transaction price of 520 million.

Tang Tian originally purchased 200 million yuan, and it was only over a year later that it was a real pot of gold and silver.

However, there is also a disadvantage to such a deal. With the completion of the transfer of shares, the market value of each NBA team has risen a bit. Take the Warriors as an example, their market value has exceeded 2 billion.

And the same appreciation is also the Nets, Lat's 20% of shares and 45% of the stadium's shares, and then climbed from 1.52 billion to 1.6 billion.

In the previous year, Prokhorov spent 1.9 billion when he bought the shares of Lat in October of the same year, and that time is 3 months away. According to the current situation, if the price in October is more than 1.9 billion A lot.

This is a perfect interpretation of what time is money. 8)
