Chapter 569 The Bass Family (4K(1/2)
There are two very special teams in the NBA.
Because of their geographical advantages, they are the kind of team that can make money by lying down even if they are bad.
One is the New York Knicks, and the other is the Los Angeles Lakers.
In the NBA financial statements every year, these two teams will always be one and two.
In recent years, because Sun Hao joined, the Lakers are one of the rarest ever to surpass the Knicks and become the most profitable team in the NBA.
Some people may say that the Bass family is very rich!
No, the team and the team owner are two different concepts, and they can even be said to be completely independent.
Like the owner of the Trail Blazers, Paul Allen, is one of the founders of Microsoft. He is worth more than all NBA teams combined, and much more.
But there are also poor bosses, such as Holt from the Spurs, who are the kind that St. Anthony can't save the championship because they are small in the market.
In the annual boss wealth list, he is always the one at the tail of the crane.
And the Bass family didn't make much stronger.
The Bass family started out with oil, but now more than 90% of the family's income comes from the Lakers.
As for the Los Angeles Sparks and so on, the WNBA is not even a fraction of the NBA.
So around the Lakers' biggest property, several children were fighting for it.
That was also the biggest headache for Old Bass.
Originally, what Old Bass liked the most was his eldest son Johnny Bass.
However, Johnny is a character similar to Li Yu, the late emperor of the Southern Tang Dynasty, and Zhu Youxiao of the Ming Dynasty. He loves music and has no interest in the business of taking over.
Even the WNBA Sparks were forced by Old Bass.
Then among the remaining children, the most capable ones were Jenny Bass and Jim Bass.
With three consecutive championships, three consecutive championships, and one more league leader like Sun Hao, Jim Buss was quite steady before.
But the defeat last season started to shake his position.
Some people say that after so many successes before, how could an occasional loss in a season have such a big impact?
This is actually a kind of "high places are cold".
If a person who has been failing suddenly succeeds, he will be treated as a successful person.
If you have been successful and suddenly encounter a failure, the failure will be magnified.
Although, such a failure is not enough to shake Jim Buss' position in the Lakers.
But Jenny Bass can find reasons to put some of his own in the team management.
This changed direction and weakened Little Bus's rights, and he could no longer be a man of justice like before.
And in this Game of Thrones, Jenny has the biggest weight to be his boyfriend Phil Jackson.
If we look at it from a future perspective, whether these two people have more feelings or more power to become lovers, the answer is probably the latter.
With Phil Jackson's girlfriend, Jenny has always been in the circle of family industry struggles.
Phil Jackson's ultimate goal is to enter the management of the Bass family. He has always pursued the identity of head coach and part-time operation president.
Previously, Phil Jackson once again proposed to be the president of operations, but unfortunately he failed in the end.
At this time, Kupchek's signings proved to be a failure last summer. With Jenny's push, Phil Jackson finally took up the position he had always dreamed of.
In other words, it is no longer Kupchek who manages the team operations, but Phil Jackson.
Phil Jackson, of course, would not ask Sun Hao for his opinion on the draft.
Well, let’s talk about going back to the draft.
Jordan came to ask Sun Hao for his opinion again, and Sun Hao picked up his phone and replied to the message.
The general meaning is that he didn't pay much attention to rookies when he left the NBA, and he didn't know much about it.
This aspect was mentioned before, and he realized that his advice was "investing the enemy".
And although he is not in the Lakers now, the Wizards have a higher pick than the Lakers. He gave it to the Wizards to intercept the Lakers, which is obviously inappropriate.
On the other hand, it is more important, and he shouldn't know it!
It is normal for you to leave the NBA and stay with your wife at home. You have heard of some popular rookies. If you know this well, you must have told someone that you are cheating and want to be pulled into slices!
Jordan was a little disappointed when he saw the text message, but he didn't say anything.
Because what Sun Hao said is indeed very reasonable.
At this time, the draft pick reached the 11th pick.
The Warriors have this pick.
Although Oden was reimbursed for the season, Danpier's performance barely rebounded last season, and Livingston and Durant's growth made the Warriors almost reach the playoffs.
If nothing unexpected happens, the Warriors should choose Brandon Rush, the forward guard swinger, 3D shooter, and more in line with Durant.
But immediately, Old Nelson told him what an accident is!
The Warriors and the Supersonics reached a deal, using the No. 11 and No. 42 to exchange for the Raptors a 22-pick draft pick and a future first round.
I don’t know what the purpose of this operation of Old Nelson is.
After the Raptors changed to the No. 11 pick, they chose Jerry Bayless.
Bayless is also a member of the Green House and once made it to the top five in the draft prediction list.
Now that the Raptors have fallen to this pick, this wave is a bargain.
Moreover, this choice is very intriguing. I don’t know if the Raptors are preparing for Byron Davis’ departure in advance.
Soon, the lottery draft ended.
At this moment, the team behind were surprised to find out that Hibert, McGee, Robin Lopez, and Akinsa were still waiting to choose!
The overall quality of this draft is really a bit high.
At this time, the team behind also began to be unable to control themselves.
Here, Barkley is still giving information to the two retired people, Sun Hao and Jordan, to these big men this year.
Transaction information was soon there.
The Lakers used the 20th pick and added cash to reach a deal with the Trail Blazers, and exchanged the opponent's 15th pick.
The Trail Blazers' inside line is not short of people. It is not appropriate for them to choose the inside line at this time, so it is a waste to choose.
So it’s better to make a deal and get some sweetness.
Then, the Lakers used this draft pick to pick Roy Hibert!
“This is a great choice!”
Sun Hao received a surprise.
In history, the Lakers are not a team that likes to train centers.
Basically, he is used to trade or sign a contract with other teams to train centers.
It is rare to choose a big center now when you are abnormal.
However, this is probably related to management changes. After all, it is no longer Kupchek, but Phil Jackson, who made the decision.
Speaking of which, although Phil Jackson is nepotism and has a mess of dealings, he is still good at selecting people.
In history, he once defeated the public and won Porzingis. He was booed by fans at that time, but it turned out to be a stroke of magic.
Winning Hibert now is also an excellent operation.
Hibert once made a popular "Greece" meme on a domestic forum, and was also known as "Gao Yuanyuan".
However, he was known as the "Black Yao Ming" and his strength was not bad at his peak, and his 2.18-meter-long blackness is not something that can be said to be there.
Especially when O'Neal is getting older, this draft operation can get full marks.
The draft went on very quickly and the Wizards soon arrived.
The Wizards draft pick, Jordan left the commentator's seat and went to make a phone call.
When he came back, Sun Hao asked him who he had chosen, and Jordan kept it a secret.
This made Sun Hao a little curious. He wanted to see if Jordan would do another trick.
"The 19th pick in the first round of the NBA in 2008, the Washington Wizards chose Daryl Arthur, a power forward of 2.06 meters, from the University of Kansas."
When Stern announced the draft results, Sun Hao almost didn't come up in one breath.
Good guy, he's right good guy!
Jordan had a keen eye and directly chose the last one of the first round with the interruption!
This operation made the person's head buzz.
Jordan also looked at Sun Hao with a proud look on his face.
