NBA: Start with 20 billion, buy the Knicks

Chapter 12 The General Manager's Retreat, Help Me Call Cole!
Chapter 12: The general manager's retreat, help me call Cole!
Jiang Chao has already given this senior a lot of face.

In fact, he can completely replace the management with his own people. What he needs is an "obedient" manager, rather than wanting to come here by himself.

Whenever old Downey asked the new boss what he wanted to do, Jiang Chao would not be so decisive.

You want to empty me?
impossible!
The candidate for a new manager has long been in Jiang Chao’s mind, and it’s okay to be the general manager for the time being. He knows what the general manager should do, and he knows even more what the right thing should be done.

His and Old Downey's philosophies are different. If they don't run counter to each other today, they will have the same result in the future.

Long-term pain is worse than short-term pain.

Downey Jr. and the others listened frighteningly outside the door. Isn't this new boss too scary? Come up and let the team's most respected general manager be demoted?
And for no reason!

This is the next Dolan!

And the property director next to him scolded angrily:

'He, an upstart, knows a p!All scouting reports are in the hands of the general manager, who will he choose in the draft? '

"He understands the labor contract?"

"The NBA relies on connections!"

"Could it be possible to watch Renren in their country select candidates? fxxk!" Renren is also very popular abroad now, and everyone knows that there is a website in China.

"Yeah, what's the situation? I broke my arm? My father didn't do anything wrong in his life, right?"

The 27-year-old Downey Jr. is the youngest son of the old Downey. He is also a young man. He is puzzled. If it is him, why not let the general manager manage it?

The market value of the Knicks is rising every year. It is boring to intervene in team affairs, but there is no one who is responsible for it.

At his age, he doesn't know much about team management, let alone a 20-year-old brother.

Dolan calmed down the anger of the fans by pulling the management and the head coach to worship the sky again and again, oh, this one won't work, the next one, and even the last Zen master will not work.

Unless you are a family business like the Bass family, you manage everything yourself.

Both the head coach and the management have become puppets, but Jiang Chao doesn't have a family, right? Where can he get his direct descendants to help him?

Can I just say he's a lunatic?

The deputy general manager had a bitter face: "The person whose inheritance is all used to buy the team, isn't he a lunatic?"

He has been on empty pay for several years, so he won't lose his job because of the new boss.

The first time I met the old man, the 4 people outside were all in danger, opened the cover of the Nokia mobile phone, and passed the message to other team employees:

"New boss, can eat people!!"

But Jiang Chao was much smarter than they thought.

madman? ?
A real lunatic would just fire the general manager and everyone.

The reason why the old Downey in front of him can be demoted to a deputy position is that Jiang Chao also thinks that he has been around for so many years and has good connections, so he can keep it as a tongue.

So he smiled and said, "The deputy general manager is still in the management team, Mr. Downey."

"Ha ha."

Old Downey sneered, fans, who knows which team's deputy general manager? ?The friend who was sitting there just now was just a relative of him, and he really became the vice president, that's the kind of personnel role, the kind that sits in the office and helps make phone calls.

Team decision-making has no role at all, okay?

"Ha ha."

Jiang Chao also laughed. Does this old fox really regard himself as a character?

You know, just a month later, he made the Knicks lose Stephen Curry! !

Everyone knows that Curry was selected by the Warriors with the 09th pick in 7, but in fact, Curry went to the Knicks with the [-]th pick at the time!
He wanted to play for the basketball mecca, so he didn't try out for any of the teams with the top seven picks.

Old Downey has a good vision, and he also told the world that this is my rookie, and no one should try to snatch it, probably because the results of the trial training are very satisfactory.

You must know that although Curry has killed the Quartet in the college league, but because of his physique and glass nature, the draft predictions are not very high in this year's guard year.

But just because the Knicks were so high-profile, the Warriors chose Curry.

Because Warriors general manager Larry Riley knew Downey very well. He knew he wanted Curry. He was even more excited by Si's warning.

In addition, their head coach Old Nelson is known as a crazy inventor, he likes such crazy things, and chose Stephen Curry when the whole world didn't expect it.

Even Curry himself was taken aback for a moment.

Only Jiang Chao knows what happened after that. Curry became an All-Star, MVP, championship, and historical three-pointer in the Warriors!
The Knicks later chose Jordan Hill, who was traded to the Rockets by three parties because Dolan thought he was too good after playing for half a season.
"Well, young man, you have to know that the Suns management has been inviting me." Old Downey coughed and reiterated his role.

But Jiang Chao, who was getting more and more angry, didn't want to waste any time:
"Mr. Downey, respect all your decisions, and hope to see you in the finals!"

He wants to say that the Eastern Conference team is okay, but if you say the Suns, does it make sense?

You can meet me twice in the regular season at most. If you have the ability, we will see you in the finals. If both parties are happy at that time, reaching the finals means that everyone has succeeded in the season, okay?

So Jiang Chao was "respectful" and not dragging his feet.

Act like an entrepreneur!

The management veteran who has been in the basketball world for many years is so angry!

Are you not holding back at all!
Then he didn't hesitate anymore, because the sun really contacted him a few days ago to reserve the position of general manager for him.

"Okay, if that's the case, I'll resign." Old Downey reluctantly let go of his hand. Who would want him to leave New York, his hometown?
There is no better job than working in my hometown in my old age.

"Okay, I agree."

Jiang Chao also gave him a step down from the very beginning. The outside world is talking about not being fired by the boss, but leaving by himself, and neither party will have much influence.

The old Chinese saying does not lie:
It's normal for the emperor to have courtiers.

At this time, Downey Jr. and others pushed the door in. Everyone clenched their fists. They all followed the general manager of Old Downey. If he left, what would they do?
I still understand the reason why the lips are dead and the teeth are cold!
Looking at Jiang Chao's calm appearance, I really want to beat him up!

But it's impossible to go up and do it. If you do it, it's not a matter of firing a squid, it's a matter of wearing a silver bracelet.

At this time, Old Downey said in a solemn voice with all his old self:
"Okay, let me be honest, in the cemetery of superstars like the Knicks, whoever takes over will be unlucky. I want to see who can help you."

"I'm the boss, so naturally I help myself."

"Okay, part-time general manager, let's see if David will mess with you?" Old Downey was speechless, he couldn't be a good boss, and he still worked as the general manager for a period of time?
Where did the confidence come from?
He was stupid anyway.

Jiang Chao looked at the four people who entered behind him:
"I also respect the choices of all of you. I will not have any colored glasses. If you want to stay or resign, you can resign. The only requirement is to follow my arrangement."

"Humph! Let's go!"

Several people were also very stubborn. Only Downey Jr. didn't say much, but he went out with them.

When Old Downey was about to close the door at last, Jiang Chao turned around on the chair and pressed his fingers together:
"By the way, Mr. Downey, when you arrive at the Phoenix Suns, remember to get Cole's number for me."

"Huh?" Old Downey looked impatient, wondering which relative of yours this is.

"Steve Kerr."

(PS: I have signed a contract, and there will be a small recommendation tomorrow. Didi would like to thank the editor and all the readers~)
