Chapter 705: Richard's next stop

It must be said that Paul Allen's idea is perfect now, at least for the Trail Blazers.
After the Blazers signed Granger, they made a deal with the Blazers and exchanged Granger for Granger, which not only did not worry about the salary space, but also solved the lack of firepower that Durant left the team.
I have to say that this is an extremely perfect idea, provided that Richard has to agree.
"Paul, I can't agree, you must know that the Pirates don't belong to me completely."
"If I own the Pirates completely, then I can accept this deal, but now I have to consider Jordan's feelings."
Richard frowned.
To say that the deal was a loss for the Pirates, it wouldn’t be too bad. After all, the Pirates weren’t planning to renew Granger, and now Granger is going to be a minor Austrian.
Although O'Neal's physical condition is unstable, he still has some strength, which may be slightly worse than the old O'Neal, but it is also an inside number within the league. Otherwise, there will not be so many teams submitting trade offers to the Blazers.
But the problem is that Xiaoao's salary is very high, and the contract with the highest salary level, the Pirates can now eat it.
The problem is that the Pirates don't need O'Brien. Even if Oden is gone, Richard can start using Jordan. The role of O'Brien may not be stronger than Jordan.
Don't need Xiaoao, and have to give Xiaoao super high salary, Jordan's heart would be strange if there is no opinion.
Jordan can not pay attention to signing contracts of US$1.8 million such as Raheem and Barry, but it can be a contract of 15 million US dollars. Even if Jordan is serious, it must be difficult to accept.
If Richard takes control of the Pirates alone, he may agree to the old man without hesitation.
After all, Xiao'ao is also his proud disciple, and letting Xiao'ao grow old under his own hands is also a happy ending.
As for the ten million dollars wasted, Richard did not pay too much attention.
And it can make Paul Allen happy, Richard Hele did not.
...
Hearing Richard’s words, Paul Allen looked entangled, but he ignored the matter.
If the Pirates belong to Richard completely, his proposal just now is entirely feasible.
It's a big deal that I will subsidize Richard a little bit later. Anyway, it's my own family, and Paul Allen doesn't really let Richard suffer.
But now because of the existence of Jordan, things get complicated.
"You said your kid, how did you think at that time, how to do business with people in partnership, now it is so complicated." Paul Allen said tangled.
Richard laughed, and Paul Allen was previously ganged up with a partner, so he is now almost a solo man...
I also wanted to win the Pirates alone at that time, but the situation at that time, Richard basically did not play, not only Richard did not play, Jordan also wanted to take over the Pirates alone is completely playless.
If you didn’t engage in the Pirates with Jordan at that time, Richard might be the owner of the Warriors.
"I urge you to find an opportunity to go out and do it alone. In fact, the Pistons are a good opportunity, but you didn't cherish it." Paul Allen said with a sigh.
Richard smiled bitterly, and may acquire a team in the eyes of Paul Allen, as difficult as buying a bundle of greens in the supermarket.
"Okay, Paul, why not?"
"You continue to sell Jermaine, but if you want to change the player whose contract expires this year, it is best to let the other party pack a draft pick or something, and then I think of a way to let Granger join the Trail Blazers." Richard finally took out Came up with a compromise.
"Are you sure? Lee, Granger will definitely join the Trail Blazers? Instead of joining a team like New York?" Paul Allen asked with a frown.
Richard nodded, grasping that he still had it.
"I don't have complete certainty, but I still have 80% certainty. Even if you really don't get Granger by then, it doesn't matter. I will find a way to find a suitable replacement for you." Richard laughed Said.
In 10 and 11 years, there have been so many top small forwards. Just find a Paul Allen, so even if Granger did not join the Trail Blazers, it would at most let the Trail Blazers rise for a year.
...
After receiving Richard's reply, Paul Allen was relieved, and 80% of his grasp was not low.
This new plan is not bad. If Granger signs up with the Blazers, then this plan is no different from the one proposed by Paul Allen.
Anyway, the Blazers' ultimate goal is to win Granger and keep the salary space unexploded.
...
After talking about the business, it was time for the two men to talk about Dashan.
"Lee, don't you want to control a team alone? I tell you, this feeling is great. You control the power of life and death alone, and open whoever is unhappy..." Paul Allen said with a smile.
Richard nodded, who didn't want to take complete control of a team, but now there is no suitable opportunity and goal.
"I have a plan for this, but not at the moment. I'm waiting for an opportunity." Richard was not prepared to hide from Paul Allen.
"Huh? Li, which team? What is the opportunity?" Paul Allen asked with great interest.
Richard is his family, he must also think that Richard can have a better development.
Although Richard now says it's a good mix, in Paul Allen's view, there is always a day when someone will do business with a partner. It's better to go solo earlier.
This old man was scared of being pitted. Once bitten by a snake, he was afraid of a well rope for ten years...
"Los Angeles Clippers!" Richard said slowly.
If it was not Paul Allen who was facing today, Richard would definitely not say this.
This is also a little secret of Richard.
Paul Allen looked startled, Los Angeles Clippers? He never thought that Richard would say the Los Angeles Clippers...
In his view, Richard may choose a small ball city team, and then slowly develop.
But it was unexpected that Richard stared at this big cake in Los Angeles.
How big is the Los Angeles ball market, just look at the Lakers, even if they make the penultimate record in the league, but their profitability is still the top two in the league, not to mention the current strength of the Lakers, and the money they make is really eye-catching. .
The Los Angeles Clippers, as the Lakers' same-city team, are certainly far inferior to the Lakers in terms of details and popularity, so their market value is not particularly high.
But even if the market value is not as high as the Lakers, the market value of the Clippers also has a level of 400-500 million.
To say 400 million to 500 million, Paul Allen knew that Richard could also come up with it. But the key to the problem now is that the Clippers owner has no intention of shooting the team. Someone had previously bid 500 million dollars to buy the Clippers. As a result, Stirling There are no birds.
Sterling has ambitions and wants to run the Clippers as a giant like the Lakers, occupying this treasured area of ​​Los Angeles, as long as the team does not sell, there will be opportunities sooner or later.
So let alone 500 million US dollars. Later, some people made a price of 700 million US dollars, and Sterling did not relax.
Unless this price is raised to more than 1 billion US dollars, perhaps Stirling can think about it.
Paul Allen knew the situation well, and he frowned and looked at Richard.
"Lee, the Clippers are not so easy to get, unless you are willing to make a big deal, such as bidding more than a billion dollars, which may impress Sterling's old fellow."
"Is there any chance that the old Stirling guy will have the idea of ​​selling the Clippers?" Paul Allen asked involuntarily when he thought of the opportunity Richard just said.
Richard nodded, "Yes, there is indeed an opportunity, but it has to wait a long time."
"I have patience, wait slowly, the Clippers will be mine sooner or later."
Paul Allen nodded and did not ask Richard what the opportunity was.
Some words do not need to be asked too clearly, Paul Allen knows that Richard is sure enough.
He is also happy for Richard. If he can really win the Los Angeles Clippers, with the broad market and Richard's excellent team building ability, it may be that the Clippers will become the top giants like the Lakers in a few decades.
He believed that Richard must have such ability.
...
Richard was not actually planning to tell Paul Allen about this opportunity.
The so-called opportunity is undoubtedly that Sterling's racist speech was exploded, causing the league to force Sterling to sell the team.
In fact, Stirling was also pitted, and his daily conversations with his girlfriend were recorded, which spoke about discrimination against black people. After this recording broke out, Stirling was directly miserable.
At that time, Xiao Hua was in power, and he made a commitment to force Stirling to sell the team as soon as possible.
The players’ union is also not stopped, and it is said that if Sterling does not sell the team, the players will collectively strike in the playoffs.
You know that the NBA is also called the black league, and the black group is the mainstream among them. How can they endure Stirling's words.
The players are going to strike, and the owners of the teams are naturally not happy, and together with Xiaohua, kicked Stirling out of the league.
...
Now think about it, Sterling was miserable by a woman. How could he think that his daily chat with his girlfriend would be exploded ~EbookFREE.me~ Speaking of discrimination against black people, there are at least one out of ten white people Two or three, this is still less said.
But when someone said something like this, it certainly would not have such an influence as Stirling.
...
Richard is now waiting for such an opportunity. Through more than ten years of observation, what should happen in normal history will definitely happen, so Sterling will definitely be forced to sell the team.
It's just that this happened in 2014. There is still a short time before Richard can only wait patiently.
For a few years, Richard was still able to wait.
But maybe it doesn't have to wait long, maybe Stirling's things will burst out ahead of time.
As soon as this happened, Richard would immediately join the battle for the Los Angeles Clippers. At that time, even with many competitors, Richard would definitely spare no effort to take down the Clippers.
