NBA: Start with a three-point experience card

Chapter 358 The Lakers are crazy, Pelinka is crazy, Jenny is crazy
Wang Yi and Nicole had just walked out of the airport and were about to board the special car that picked them up—of course, this car was also contacted by Nicole.

It seems that she has a much wider network in China than Wang Yi.

At this time, Wang Yi's phone rang.

Wang Yi took out his mobile phone and saw that it was Rowling's number.

"Sister Luo, what's the matter?"

Wang Yi asked.

Rowling said, "Wang Yi, you... have been traded."

"..."

At this moment, the smile on Wang Yi's face disappeared instantly.

Although he has been traded many times, Wang Yi never thought that the Lakers would trade him.

Especially Pelinka asked himself to cut his salary twice before, which obviously did not intend to trade himself.

Because if the salary is cut, it is tantamount to reducing the player's transaction value.

To make a simple analogy, you can exchange a five-dollar pen for someone else's five-dollar notebook.

But if you say that your pen costs two dollars, others will only exchange it for two dollars.

Pelinka couldn't be that stupid.

There must be a deeper reason behind this.

But as for what the reason is, Wang Yi is not in the mood to know.

Nicole next to her vaguely heard that Wang Yi was traded, and her heart sank.

Subconsciously turned his head and looked at Wang Yi.

Wang Yi's expression froze for a moment.

But after only a few seconds, Wang Yi's expression melted away.

"Sister Luo, which team will I go to?"

Wang Yi asked.

Rowling replied: "It was a five-team deal, and you ended up being sent to the Kings."

Wang Yi's heart couldn't help but feel a little tingling.

The Lakers sent themselves away, and they endured it.

After all, the NBA is really just a business after all.

There is nothing wrong with owners and managers trading players out for the benefit of the team.

But the Lakers actually let themselves cut their salary by $800 million before the transaction.

If I knew I was going to be traded, how could I cut my salary?

And they even sent themselves to a small market team.

After arriving at a small market team, his market value will shrink a lot.

Most importantly, what kind of team is the Kings.

It has not received any attention at all for more than ten years.

And every year in the lottery area, there is no winning culture at all.

Pelinka and owner Jenny Buss sacrificed their own interests for their own.

Haha, absolutely enough.

However, Wang Yi quickly accepted his new identity - he has always been very adaptable.

He has made up his mind.

Small ball market?

He is a man who does not believe in evil.

I also want to create the greatest value in the small ball market.

A lottery team?
I still want to take them to the playoffs, and even win the championship!
No matter what reason the Lakers want to trade themselves, in short, one day, he will make the Lakers regret it!

Make Pelinka and Jenny Buss gutted!
"king?"

Nicole next to him asked.

Wang Yi shook his head slowly: "I'm fine, it's normal to be traded."

Ni saw that Wang Yi was not hit so hard as she imagined, so she was slightly relieved.

"Let's go."

Wang Yi said.

Nicole nodded obediently, followed Wang Yi silently, and left the airport.

Meanwhile, in the Los Angeles Lakers arena, the general manager's office.

Sitting in the position of general manager at this time is not the general manager Pelinka, but the team owner Jenny Buss.

As for the team general manager Pelinka, he is pacing back and forth in the office with a very dignified expression.

"I don't understand, why do we have to be the trading king? Everyone will think we are crazy!"

His hands waved quickly, a little exaggeratedly.

Jenny Buss shook her head and sighed:
"I don't want to either. But now that the league is in a downturn, the revenue of each team has plummeted. Some teams in small markets have even suffered losses. Other team owners are okay. They have other industries. They don't mainly rely on the team. Make money. But I don't have any business other than the Lakers."

"So for the sake of long-term consideration, I invested in a high-end technology industry. Unfortunately, the investment failed and I was in debt of nearly 12 billion US dollars. If I don't pay back the money before November, I will have to go bankrupt!"

Pelinka stopped and looked at the beautiful female boss in front of him.

Jenny is pretty, but being a creature isn't about looking at your face at all.

In terms of business, Jenny's talent is somewhat lacking.

Jenny lit a cigarette, took a deep breath, and exhaled a puff of smoke:
“Fortunately, I contacted a buyer who is willing to spend 15 billion to buy 49% of the team’s shares. I am willing to see any orientals in the team. The only condition for him to acquire the equity is to remove all orientals from the team..."

"It's so nonsense!"

Pelinka was so excited that spit flew out.

"Just because of this reason, you traded Wang? What kind of stupid buyer is this, who actually made such a ridiculous request. What's even more absurd is that you actually agreed. As long as you can persist for two more seasons, the market value created by Wang , and the huge Chinese market behind him, will turn you around completely!"

Jenny took a deep breath of the cigarette and smiled wryly:
"I can't wait for a season. If I don't trade Wang, I will go bankrupt in more than three months. And no matter how great Wang's commercial value is, can he get me 12 billion US dollars within a year? Don't worry too much, player It's just a tool for the boss to make money, without this tool, why don't we just change to another tool?"

"I think that Westbrook is good. After he is traded, the market appeal of him and LeBron is enough to ensure that we can make money next season."

Pelinka kept shaking his head: "But we still need to strengthen. Trading Wang now will damage the reputation of our team, so it will be difficult for us to recruit outstanding players."

Jenny laughed when she heard the words: "Pelinka, you are also an experienced general manager. As long as we let the public relations team let the wind out, saying that Wang Yi is not satisfied with the annual salary of 2000 million and asks for a deal. Our Can’t reputation be preserved?”

"But...it's not fair to the king."

"Ha ha ha ha……"

Jenny laughed loudly: "Pelinka, you, an experienced general manager, can't be so naive. In business, there is no fairness, only interests. I know you can't do it, so you don't have to worry about it, let me do it make arrangements for."

"But……"

Pelinka wanted to say more.

But Jenny had already stood up, twisting the remaining half of the cigarette into the ashtray.

"That's it."

After speaking, he strode towards the door.

Half an hour later, the news that Wang Yi was traded quickly spread across the Internet in the United States and China.

Everyone is in disbelief about this.

"Are the Lakers crazy?"

"I'm going, what's going on? The Lakers don't have a brain, right?"

"I don't trust the world anymore."

Whether it is American fans or Chinese fans, their attitudes towards this matter are very consistent.

More than two hours later, another piece of news came out: After Wang Yi signed with the Lakers, he backed down and demanded a trade from the Lakers because he was dissatisfied with his $2000 million annual salary. The Lakers had no choice but to do so.

As soon as the news came out, the wind direction on the Internet changed instantly.

Everyone thought Wang Yi was a victim before, but now they think he is a traitor, desperate for profit
