Chapter 846: [Slam dunk contest, many highlights]
On September 10, Robert Smith brought his brother Matt to Guo Xu and said to ask him some questions about the NBA.
"Your vision is accurate, I want to ask, do you think the NBA team is worth investing in? I want to buy the Warriors." Matt Xu surprised Guo Xu as soon as he spoke.
Warriors boss Chris Cohen did consider selling the team. As early as a few years ago, there were rumors that Cohen would sell his shares. This summer, the same news once again clamored and became more and more real.
Cohen was tired. Under his leadership over the past 15 years, the Warriors have become almost synonymous with strangeness and failure. He tried to be the boss supported by the fans, he tried to be a winner, but he didn't get any results.
The Warriors are in a good location and there is a market in the San Francisco Bay Area. It's easy to succeed, but it's just a little bit worse.
After the trade came to Kobe, the Warriors still failed to make the playoffs, and Cohen finally made up his mind.
The Smith family wanted to buy an NBA team because of the butterfly effect caused by Guo Xu. Matt in the past was not a competitor. He was not familiar with the NBA. It's different now. Smith and Guo Xu are allies. They started to pay attention to the NBA and understand the NBA. They wanted to buy a team to advertise their own industries.
In the past, they were just invisible rich people, and they didn't have much visibility outside the circle. With the recognition of Guo Xu and Robert's marriage to Britney, they began to step on the stage gradually. The current global economic situation is not good, investing in the NBA is the way.
"Of course you can buy, I am optimistic about the development potential of the NBA." Guo Xu directly gave a positive answer.
Robert interjected: "Are you sure? I heard that the 2011 labor agreement was not easy to talk about, and many teams lost money."
"Yeah, now the NBA is not in the doldrums, but it will be different in a few years. The NBA will become the only league in the basketball world, because this year's Olympic Games and the Dream Eight team easily won the championship, fans can see other leagues and the NBA. The gap, if the 2010 World Championships and the 2012 Olympics, the US team wins again, the commercial value of the NBA will continue to increase. "
At this time, only a few people think that investing in NBA teams is promising. In Guo Xu ’s past life, the Warriors ’later boss Joey Lakob was involved in venture capital.
Matt smiled and asked, "Jason, will you consider playing the Warriors in the future? Or are you going to retire from the Suns?"
"I haven't thought about this, even if I don't go to the Warriors to play, I can give you some advice on team building." Guo Xu answered.
Matt smiled: "Okay, I will organize a group to discuss the acquisition of the Warriors."
Guo Xu is not kidding. People who have won too many games have become a little bit floating. Now he has some mentality in Hong Kong. He is always invincible and boring. Even if the Warriors are organized like the previous life? The fierce fight may be more interesting.
There is only one problem, many people know his relationship with the Smith family, maybe someone will question the fight against counterfeit?
Considering that in the future Adam Silva will become the president and cooperate with the gaming company, Guo Xu's matter does not seem to be a problem.
Matt is likely to be the final winner, because the Smiths' financial strength is not comparable to that of Lakob. As long as they decide to buy, they will definitely be able to bid higher than the other party. Cohen must be the one who bids high, and there is no reason to sell cheaply.
In recent years, Cohen has also been investigated by the US Taxation Bureau on tax evasion and evasion, which can be described as troublesome. To make matters worse, the Warriors also reported the problem of management infighting, which caused the whole team to lose their hearts. Guo Xu knew that the Warriors would change owners in the summer of 2009.
A player cannot buy a team, otherwise he wants to buy the Warriors to play. When he retires in the future, he also has a team that he can manage and will always be linked to the NBA.
Making money on the team is not the key. The point is that this is a live advertisement. It is convenient when doing other careers. Everyone will know the boss through the team.
The former Warriors started to rise in 2013 after changing bosses. In 15 years, they won three NBA championships within four years and became the most popular super team in the league. Lakob bought the Warriors for 450 million. How much was later worth?
In 2018, the Warriors ’valuation reached a staggering $ 3 billion. How many times did they earn? Cohen's blood loss, it is estimated that the intestines are regretful.
Guo Xu does not participate in any matters concerning the acquisition of the Warriors, only if it has nothing to do with himself. When the team really changes ownership, he will not have any controversy.
Guo Xu is going to play for the Warriors in the future, but it is not impossible to consider. Now he and Brian Colangelo are very happy to cooperate. It is based on his young age. When he is 35 years old, his status will decline. Who is sure to have been happy What about going on?
It is not uncommon for NBA stars to decline after obtaining a big contract, being forced to reduce their salary or being swept out of the house. Maybe Brian suddenly went crazy one day. In Guo Xu's previous life, this man did a lot of stupid things.
He was exposed to use multiple trumpets to slam his team and players on social media, including accusation of the head star Embiid, as well as Okafor, a flower show that has been neglected by the 76ers, and he also slammed 76 People's former manager Sinki. All this made the whole public opinion uproar.
Of course, if Brian builds a trumpet and sprays Guo Xu, it's not as simple as stupidity. Only crazy will do this. Guo Xu firmly believed that his 35-year-old championship must have far exceeded Jordan. He was probably the first person in NBA history. Now he is only 27 years old, and there are 8 years left.
In September, Sun's last place was determined, and 37-year-old veteran Brent Barry was selected, making up the list of 15 people.
Barry is very comprehensive, can shoot three points, has a good passing consciousness, and can keep up with the rhythm of the game in the 2nd and 3rd positions. He is not completely a mascot mixed ring, occasionally playing a few minutes to play.
Guo Xu and the Suns completed their contract renewal, with a five-year top salary, which will be implemented next season. It is a player option in 2012 and expires in 2013. At that time Guo Xu was 32 years old and could sign another big contract.
Guo Xu didn't sign for 6 years. It was very embarrassing in 2014. It is not suitable for players to sign long and short contracts, because in 2015 the NBA began to raise wages overall, and any role player has an annual salary of 10 million. Guo Xu's plan is to sign for three years from 2013 to 2016. If he does not retire at the age of 35, he can catch up the tail of rising wages and sign a few years of high salary.
At that time, he probably didn't care about making money by playing, but the size of the player's contract, whether it was a top salary, intuitively reflected the value of the star, and he did not agree to give too little. Some stars cut their salary in order to have better teammates to impact the championship ~ lightnovelpub.net ~ Guo Xu can also impact the championship without superstar teammates.
When Guo Xu bought a house in Los Angeles, many Sun fans were a bit worried, for fear that he would suddenly issue a statement saying that he would return to the Lakers. If the Lakers want to welcome him back, it is not impossible to send Joe Johnson away without changing back to the player. Bogut is still a rookie contract, Ellis, Artest's contract is not big, can empty salary space.
Now that Guo Xu has completed the contract renewal, the fans are relieved.
At the renewed press conference, Guo Xu also explained the reasons for buying a house in Los Angeles. "Phoenix is too hot, Los Angeles is more suitable for vacation, I like to stay in Los Angeles on vacation, and I want to live there after retiring in the future, don't worry about me joining the Lakers or Clippers."
Until the end of September, Guo Xu returned to Phoenix. The two cats Steve and Bucky stayed in Los Angeles to let Jason Stanson look at it. Recently, his cousin moved into his house, and the two of them bluffed every day. Haikan.
After "Pirates of Dreams" Stanson also became popular, and the movie was about to continue, but there was no big production, and it was all a type of action movie.
The good news is that he made the lead role, no longer acting as a villain or running around ...
