Chapter 430: [Join conditions, transaction veto]

Yang Rui was very relaxed, and opened his own conditions for joining as if chatting with friends.
"First of all, I want the right to trade and the draft. Every team I get is the bottom line. This is definitely not harmful to the Lakers, it's only good, because I'm better than everyone."
Old Bath immediately agreed. "No problem, whoever you want, Kupchak will try to operate the transaction as long as the team can win the championship and pay the luxury tax."
Yang Rui is great! He can’t hear that on the Raptors and Wizards. The bosses of both teams must avoid luxury taxes and trade with reasonable salaries.
The Lakers are rich and rich, and have paid luxury taxes for years in a row.
Yang Rui smiled: "Then I will add another requirement. In the summer, Yao Ming must be traded to the team. Except for Odom, Kobe, and the summer lottery rookie, everyone else can be used as chips, Nick. Sri Lanka picks casually, and next year's first-round draft pick can also be traded."
Jim Bass chimed in. "George, Rush, Cook, Wharton are all potential young people, is it a pity to send them away?"
"No, it seems to me that they have little potential, and the Knicks may not be worth it. According to my plan, the Lakers will be completely rebuilt this summer, and the original lineup will not leave a few."
"But Yao..."
Jim Bass also wanted to question. Old Bass raised his hand to stop him, smiling: "No problem, I promise Yao Ming will appear in the Lakers next season."
Old Bath knew what his son wanted to ask, worrying that Yao Ming would not be able to play, which would affect the Lakers performance. Indeed, Yao Ming performed very poorly in the Knicks. But Yang Rui is confident in cultivating Yao Ming, and he must give enough trust.
The cooperation between the two parties should be based on trust, not to mention Yang Rui's previous record? Once Yao Ming hits the mark and the Chinese market is behind it, the Lakers make a lot of money.
Yang Rui was very satisfied with this answer, and at the same time he looked down on Little Bass.
Little Bass is worthy of being the successor to the waste of the Lakers. Yang Rui has trained so many inside stars. He also doubts that Yao Ming can't play well. This is not careful, but indecisive, and even looks down on Chinese players. The same is the floor flow, Yao Ming finished Brad Miller.
Old Bath asked: "Is there anything else?"
"Importantly, when renewing Kobe's contract, he can get a top salary, but don't give him a veto power. He has problems with his personality and is not easy to adjust. Without O'Neal leading the lottery, he should recognize his own Position, if he is disobedient, the Lakers will use him as the core in the first round of the playoffs."
Old Bath frowned. "If Kobe didn't renew the contract with the Lakers and asked to leave?"
Yang Rui smiled: "You think too much. Although from the Eagle County incident, Kobe's IQ is not high, but he should not be too low to give up the Los Angeles market and go to a bad team. Of course, he can also go A strong team with stars competes for the championship, but then he is the second player in his life. Is he like the kind of person who is willing to give up the next life?"
The old Bath frowned immediately, Yang Rui fully understood Kobe's character, and there was a way to control it, that is, the veto power.
The Lakers will not trade Kobe, but can use this as a threat, if he does not listen to the command, Yang Rui will clean up him.
"How do you know that I intend to give Kobe the veto power?" Old Bath asked.
"Because Phil Jackson repeatedly expressed dissatisfaction with Kobe in public, the news also mentioned that the Lakers are preparing to trade Kobe. In addition to the Eagle County incident, Adidas and Kobe will be terminated, and he will be very insecure. The Lakers have lost. With O'Neill, if Kobe goes again, there will be no star. His agent 80% will put forward some extra protection." Yang Rui explained.
Old Bath swallowed. He didn't know that Yang Rui had read this news in his previous life, thinking that Yang Rui had reasoned. He has never seen such a person, it seems that he can only use "genius" to describe.
Jim Bass asked: "If you don't give the right to trade otherwise, what if Kobe really left?"
Yang Rui laughed. "It's very simple, let him go, there is enough salary space, to recruit in the free market. I am confident to take the Lakers to win the championship, there will be someone willing to join. If Bryant chooses to leave, then let him regret it for a lifetime."
Kobe left Los Angeles, there can be so many good teammates, he will never win the five championships like Yang Rui's previous life, becoming the second shooting guard in history.
Old Bath smiled and asked, "Are you sure you want this?"
"Of course, there are two things that attract the Lakers to me. One is in Los Angeles, I love this city, and the other is the best boss in the league. Kobe doesn’t attract me, but it’s optional. With his current reputation, To be honest, I don’t want to coach. The Cavaliers contacted me. If they were in Los Angeles, I would choose the Cavaliers if I didn’t want to.

The Lakers have been public relations for Kobe's image, but the Eagle County lawsuit is not over, they have no idea. In Yang Rui’s previous life, the lawsuit continued until September 1, 2004. Kobe was acquitted, and he had already renewed the contract.
In terms of contract renewal negotiations, the Lakers management is in a good position.
Old Bath laughed: "You are really welcome and not low-key."
"Haha, the most important thing for a coach to succeed is ability. Larry Brown is very low-key. You wait to see how I will abuse him next year." Yang Rui said confidently.
Jim Bass was mad at himself, he didn't like Yang Rui's character, he was crazy.
Eating Chinese food, the three discussed some details, and the coaching staff was also decided by Yang Rui.
Next season, Yang Rui's first thing to do is to take Jeff Hornacek to Los Angeles and give him a teaching assistant job~EbookFREE.me~ otherwise it's not too boring.
It is also necessary for Yang Rui to get a high salary. The specific signing period and amount will be discussed in detail with his agent. The Bass family is not short of money and will certainly not treat him badly.
In the end, Yang Rui said: "If you feel uneasy, you can sign a simple agreement with me someday, and we will formally sign the contract when several big deals are over in the summer. Because if I announce in advance to join the Lakers, many teams know my vision Okay, maybe he won’t trade with the Lakers."
"This can't be better." Old Bath smiled: "Jerry, you joined the Lakers, it must be the right choice for both of us."
"Of course, it's difficult to make a strong alliance. It's hard to succeed." Yang Rui nodded.
Jim basically doesn't speak, but only accompanies and listens. He now admires his father's vision.
Before coming, Old Bath told him that Yang Rui would agree, and predicted the possible conditions for Yang Rui to open.
Yang Rui declined many invitations last summer, including the strong team Sun, obviously looking for a big city team to join. He bought a house in Los Angeles is a clear signal, only the Lakers can be fancy, not the Clippers, a smart person will not do stupid things.
It was Yang Rui who sprayed Larry Brown with pressure. It would be a big city if he sprayed Brown away.
Therefore, after Yang Rui sprayed Brown for the second time, Old Bath took the initiative to find him, he was afraid that the Knicks would act first. He thought too much, because assassin Thomas traded in Marbury, and now Yang Rui will not go to the Knicks.
The meal was very pleasant. Yang Rui left first, and then the father and son of Bath left, leaving their contact information. In June, Kupchak will contact Yang Rui, and the draft and trade will be approved by him in advance.
A stone fell on Yang Rui's heart. He can live in Los Angeles in the future!
