Chapter 506: Richard Rule 3

As Richard expected, he and Jordan wanted to take over the new army, it was not as easy as Jordan thought.
New York NBA headquarters, Stern's office.
"Mr. President, Jordan called just now, about the expansion of the army." Xiao Hua was standing in front of Stern with respect and reporting towards Stern.
Stern frowned.
"Michael? Hasn't he recognized the reality yet, hasn't he told him? He has no chance!" Stern said with a smile.
If Jordan has sufficient financial resources and has a good team management ability, then Stern may also want to give Jordan this new team to take care of.
But now Jordan has insufficient financial resources, and second, the ability to operate is not enough. Stern certainly cannot promise Jordan.
Moreover, even if Stern agreed, the bosses of other teams would not agree.
The reason is simple, this matter is related to the interests of these bosses.
Many of the revenues of each team are to be concentrated in the league and then distributed evenly.
If this new army keeps losing money, it is estimated that the revenue of each team will decrease, and they are naturally reluctant to see this happen.
Jordan is a profound proof, he really is not the material to choose people!
...
After listening to Stern, Xiao Hua shook his head bitterly.
"Mr. President, things have changed now, and there is someone on Jordan's side..."
"Huh? A person? Who..." Stern looked at Xiao Hua with vigilance, a villain's face suddenly appeared in his mind, not who Richard was...
In the previous All-Star game, he also watched the live broadcast and saw the scene of Jordan shaking hands with Richard, and he was already in a stun.
"Richard!" Xiao Hua directly reported Richard's name.
Stern's face suddenly turned from white to red, and then from red to white...
"Damn! Richard is everywhere..."
"What did Jordan say?" Stern asked eagerly.
"He said that he was ready to work with Richard to take on the new army, and the two of them would open up 50 to 50 million US dollars each in cash verification, and then the equity was divided in half!
"In terms of team management, the team's lineup construction is left to Richard to handle."
Xiao Hua relayed all Jordan's original words to Stern, which made Stern feel a little hurt...
Looking at this posture, Jordan and Richard are clearly planned.
Both sides have even arranged the equity distribution!
For a moment, Stern thought in his mind, he was thinking about how to stop this.
He didn't want Richard to blend in with the new army. Although he knew that Richard and Jordan were to take over the new army, there was absolutely no reason to lose money.
But he just didn't want Richard to enter the NBA's true talker community.
At present, Richard is just a team's management, and he has already burned himself. If he becomes the owner of a team, will it still be? !
But even if he didn't want to, Stern thought about it for a moment and found that he couldn't stop the combination of Jordan and Richard.
The combination of these two people is almost mean...
In terms of racial issues, Jordan is black, Richard is yellow, and no one can pick out the slightest fault in this regard.
In terms of profitability, with Richard here, and Jordan's live signboard, that's certainly not too bad.
In terms of financial resources, everyone said that the two of them were one hundred and fifty million, and obviously they were prepared.
If it is said that Stern can take full power, then he must directly rule out these two people and directly designate Robert Johnson as the boss of the new army.
But now he really can't take full control!
Such a big thing must be voted by all NBA management and all bosses, and then the final winner is selected.
If Jordan and Johnson are competing alone, it is estimated that Jordan will lose.
But now Jordan is completely different with Richard...
Even if Stern doesn’t like Richard, he is well aware of Richard’s terrible connections in this league.
When the polling meeting is held, I am afraid that Johnson will not be Richard's opponent at all.
This made Stern sigh for a long time, how could a tricky look like Richard emerge out of it...
Since Richard entered the league, it seems that he hasn't had a few days of comfort!
Now even if he wants to prevent Richard from entering the new army, he is completely right...
"No, is Richard qualified for the expansion? He seems unqualified..." Stern caught the point.
Xiao Hua shook his head, "Mr. President, he is qualified.",
"The rules stipulate that a player cannot become the owner or manager of the team, but he does not stipulate that the manager cannot become the owner. Richard is fully in compliance with the rules. Of course, when he really gets the qualification to expand the army, he will definitely have to Leaving the Pistons."
Xiao Hua's words sounded rather confusing, but the meaning was simple and clear.
That is Richard is not a player, the league can not control his movements...
"Then introduce a rule that restricts the team's management to own all or part of the team's equity!" Stern's brain was really aura, and he thought of the best response in a short period of time.
He has even thought about it. This new rule is called Richard's Rule Three!
But Xiao Hua shook his head with a wry smile, apparently felt that Stern's plan was somewhat unreliable.
"Mr. President, if this is done, I am afraid that the bosses of the teams will be reluctant. Many of them hold positions on the team. If this rule is introduced, they may have to resign and then hire another management. "
"This will increase their costs and they will definitely object."
As Xiao Hua said, many team owners or shareholders are actually part-time managers on the team.
Right now, if this rule comes out, it means that these bosses or shareholders will have to resign, and for the vacant positions, they will have to recruit.
The salary of the management is quite high, which invisibly increases the cost of these teams.
In a big ball market like the Lakers or the Knicks, people don't care, they don't care about the money.
However, some teams in the small ball market are already stretched, and now Stern wants to increase the team's operating costs, they can be happy to blame!
...
Stern was dumbfounded, but he ignored this question. Good fellow, did Richard let the kid become the owner of an NBA team? !
...
"Well, it doesn't restrict the part-time management of shareholders, but restricts access to the coaching staff. Is this always the case?"
"There are currently no shareholders in the league as coaches of the team, and I think they will definitely not refuse this!"
Stern couldn't do one move, and then made another move. Anyway, he had to give Richard some eye drops. He couldn't let him sit in the position of the team boss so comfortably.
Xiao Hua nodded, but that's okay...
However, this rule has no meaning at all. If you do not allow Richard to be the head coach, is he really so honest that he does not involve the team?
He can sit at the side of the team's bench while the game is going on, like EbookFREE.me~, like Mark Cuban of the Mavericks...
Even in the previous NBA, there were team bosses sitting directly in the middle of the team bench, sitting with players.
Even if Richard does not hold the position of coach, he can also affect the progress of the game on the sidelines.
So this rule is just to take off your pants and fart.
However, since Stern wants to introduce such a rule, there is nothing to harm the interests of the alliance, and Xiao Hua has no need to dissuade him.
"Then it's so settled, this rule is called Richard No. 3 Rule!"
Stern was all smiles...
Early the next morning, the official announced the latest news, to be precise, the latest rules.
"Richard's Rule No. 3: Shareholders whose team owns all or part of the equity cannot join the coaching team of their own team or other teams!"
As soon as the news came out, the whole league was dumbfounded...
There are no problems with the rules, and there is no conflict with the players or the owners of the teams, mainly because there is a problem with the name of the rule.
Richard Rule No. 3? !
This matter has nothing to do with Richard. He seems to have no equity in any team in his hands. How could the league use his name to name this new rule.
Most people are unclear, confused, but those really top leaders in the league, but frowned.
They know the news of the upcoming expansion of the league. This kind of thing is clear to all team owners. If they don't nod, how could Stern go to expand the army.
Now there is such a rule, which can explain many problems.
