NBA: Start by torturing Jordan and add points to upgrade

According to the agreement reached between labor and management in January 1999, the league's annual salary cap and luxury tax are determined by the league's revenue in the previous year.

That is, 48% of the team's average income is the salary cap, and 55% of the income is the luxury tax threshold.

To put it simply, if the team's total salary is lower than the salary cap, it can use space to directly sign free agents. After reaching the salary cap, it can only use various special cases to sign free agents and use bird rights to renew team players.

And if it exceeds the luxury tax threshold, every penny spent thereafter will be paid to the league! In the end, the money will be evenly distributed to all teams that have not paid the luxury tax at the end of the season!
At the same time, the alliance has another rule: the poor line!
If the luxury tax is to prevent owners in big cities from spending crazy money and causing the league to lose balance, then the poverty line is aimed at owners in small markets who save money too much, causing the team to lose competitiveness and affecting the reputation of the league.

The poor line is 80% of the salary cap. If the salary expenditure of all teams is lower than this number, then the team must make up this part of the money and then distribute it equally to all the players in the team! It can be regarded as an extra benefit for the players in the team!
After calculation, the salary cap for this season is 4800 million US dollars, the luxury tax threshold is 5500 million US dollars, and the poor line is 3800 million US dollars!
As for the Pacers' salary?
Lin Tian 2280 million, Webber 1275 million, Miller 900 million, Ben 600 million, Christie 600 million, Brad Miller 400 million, Carter 300 million, Harrington 140 million, Best 170 million, and just this year Rookie Parker who joined the team is worth 70, and Arenas is worth 30!
In addition to these players, there are four basic salary players such as Mills to fill the team's lineup. Their total salary is almost 4 million US dollars!
As a result, the Pacers' salary this season has reached 7100 million US dollars!
The luxury tax paid reached 1600 million US dollars! It happens to be a little more than the limit set by the bosses!

Of course, Bird still has time. He can send away a less powerful role player and then sign another player with the basic salary to save the team millions of dollars in luxury tax!
And because of the luxury tax system that will be implemented in the league this season, many teams have chosen to cut salaries in advance to avoid tax! Therefore, the total salary of many teams has dropped. For example, the Lakers let Rice go without renewing his contract, thereby reducing their total salary to 5400 million!
Teams that have the same operation include the Mavericks, Suns, Nets and other teams! The total salaries of many teams ended up being between 5300 million and 5400 million! All I can say is that it is extremely ingenious!
With many teams reducing costs, the Pacers' $7100 million is somewhat eye-catching!
Their total salary ranks third in the league! Second only to the Knicks, who spent $7600 million, and the Trail Blazers, who spent $8400 million!
But the owners of the other two teams are Dolan, the most wealthy prodigal in the league, and Paul Allen, one of the most wealthy bosses in the true league, one of the owners of Microsoft!

These two are really rich and not afraid of spending money!
The Simon brothers of the Pacers obviously cannot compare with those two in terms of assets, but fortunately their results are good! The team is in the stage of working hard to climb towards the level of a true dynasty team!

Although they spend a lot of money and it hurts, they are definitely the team owners who can hold their heads high among several teams!

As for Dolan and Allen?
Hehe, a bad team with a high probability of winning the lottery, a rookie aiming for the first round of the playoffs! These two broken teams have spent so much money and still have such poor results. The Simon brothers have a lot of balance when it comes to spending money!
But it's just a balance.

If they really renew the contracts of Carter and Harrington next year, they will not be able to bear the expenditure. After all, the combined annual salary of these two people must start at least 2000 million, plus the luxury tax, then the Pacers will pay for it every year. These two will have to spend an additional 4000 million!
excuse me!
Really no money!
Under this situation, in fact, whether it is the Pacers or the entire league, they actually know one thing very well——

The terrifying Pacers, the Pacers that have won three championships in the past four years, this is the last year!

They will definitely break up the team next summer!
And the person leaving will also be Carter, the team's current second-leading scorer!

Its daybreak!
Without Carter, this team will not have such terrifying firepower!

Lin Tian: Thinking too much!

After Carter is gone, our firepower will only be more terrifying!
As for the reason?

The young man who is standing in front of Lin Tian to listen to the training is the best answer!

The future scoring maniac, who has scored 60 points in a single game and has a season-high average of 29 points per game, is the league's first-generation 'Ranger' Gilbert Arenas!
The "French Sports Car" Tony Parker is the league's best at breaking through and finishing, and once ranked first among all outside players in basket shooting percentage!
"Fight hard and practice hard! As long as you work hard here, you will definitely have a chance!" Lin Tian patted the two people on the shoulders and said: "Gilbert, we are old acquaintances! As long as I am here, don't worry, you will definitely You will have a chance to prove yourself! Prove that the 28 teams that didn’t choose you are all idiots!”

"Don't worry, boss! I will definitely fight with my life! I will completely beat up everyone in front of me!"

"Tony, we are all international players and we all have to adapt to the environment here! Don't worry, with me here, you will definitely be able to integrate into the team quickly! I am very optimistic that you can become my number one substitute! At the same time, I also I think you can become one of the top point guards in the league!"

"When the time comes, whether it's an All-Star or an All-NBA team, you'll definitely be a part of it!"

After having a good chat with the two newcomers and encouraging them to get excited, Lin Tian invited Harrington and Carter.

Both guys are in contract years this year, and it is basically certain that they will not stay on the team after this season.

"Play hard, for my big contract, for the honor of three consecutive championships!" Looking at the two guys, Lin Tian also said straight to the point: "If we play well this season, we can play to the level we should and win three consecutive championships!" If you win consecutive championships.”

"Think about it, Vince, you can definitely get a maximum salary easily! As for El, I think your goal should be set higher. How about an annual salary of tens of millions?"

Thinking that they would make a lot of money soon, Carter and Harrington's eyes immediately lit up. As soon as they saw the excitement of the two of them, Lin Tian immediately continued: "But what I mean is not to let you two A man who unscrupulously collects data just for the sake of a big contract!”

"If you become selfish in your playing style this season and start thinking about your contract, then I guarantee that your data will only get worse!"

"But you also know me. As long as you stay normal, I guarantee that you will gain something next summer! I will even tell Larry that I fully support your team selection. If necessary, the team can use a sign-and-trade method. Help you join the new team you want to go to!”

"But the premise of everything"

"We will work hard!"

Carter and Harrington nodded, turned around, and then came the old Miller.

"What are you looking for me for?"

"What are you doing here?"

After seeing each other, the two people questioned their souls at the same time.

Lin Tian shook his head and said: "Vince, this idiot, I asked him to find Brad, why did he find you!"

"Then why are you looking for Brad?" Miller was a little curious.

"Adhering to the responsibility of a leader, at the beginning of the training camp, we should have a good understanding with everyone so that they can understand their positions and then play in the correct way!"

"Then I can't come? I'm not 'everyone' on the team?" Miller pouted, sat down in front of Lin Tian and said, "Come on, I'll talk first and Brad will come first, what's the difference?" "

"It makes no difference, but I don't want to talk to you." Lin Tian shook his head and said: "What's the point of talking to you? Are you confused? Are you hesitant? Are you full of unknowns and fears about your career? Are you confident enough in yourself? Are you worried? Will you be selfish for your next contract? "

"Aren't you talking nonsense?" Miller looked at Lin Tian like an idiot: "You just do these time-wasting things?"

"It's just a waste of time when I'm facing you. Others like this! They all say it's the best thing they've ever seen!"

"The unity and passion of our team all depend on me! And you, an old bastard, an old football player, an old fox, an old fritter, an old..."

"Okay! It's endless, right?" Miller stood up and said, "Get rid of that old word for me! I'll help you find Brad!"

After Miller finished speaking, he turned around and left, unwilling to continue talking to Lin Tianduo!
On the following day, Lin Tian hardly participated in training. Instead, he had a good chat with every player in the office, untying their knots and depression, soothing their emotions, so that everyone could The best condition enters the preseason and regular season games.

After all, everyone knows that if a team wants to truly become a dynasty-level team and achieve three consecutive championships, the most difficult thing is the third championship trip!

Because when you become the king of the league for many years in a row, when you hit the championship for the third consecutive year, all kinds of things will come to you and become a stepping stone for this team on the road to winning the championship!
Injuries, fatigue, desire to win, capable players poached by big contracts, aging of main players, excessive pressure after consecutive victories.
These are only internal issues within the team.

And there are even more external problems!
When you become a team that wins the championship for two consecutive years, you will inevitably become the target of the entire league in the third year! All teams study you, imitate you, and want to know you.

Then those strong teams want to capture you as a mirror to test their own strength, and those weak teams want to kill you and become famous in one battle to prove that they are not really weak!

In short, the Pacers will definitely become the target of public criticism this season and will be constantly targeted by the entire league. Every game they play in the regular season will be extremely difficult!

This is why there are many teams in this league that have won two consecutive championships, such as the Rockets and Bulls in the 90s, the Pistons in the late 80s, and the Lakers, Celtics and other teams further back.

Countless teams have fallen on their way to their third championship! Failed to become a true dynasty team!
So this time, can the Pacers withstand it?

Lin Tian believes it can! But he also knew that this time it would be more difficult than before!
Since it is difficult, we must do a good job of psychological construction for our teammates!

Let them be well prepared so as not to be frightened by the opponent's intensity as soon as they enter the regular season!
Speaking of the regular season, during the training camp, the league announced the regular season schedule for this season!

Lin Tian couldn't wait to open it and started studying it. Then when he saw his opponent in the first battle, Lin Tian couldn't help but shout, "What a guy!" What a great guy!
Washington Wizards!
In the first game of Jordan's second comeback, he actually ran into Lin Tian!

These two former ace partners and champion backcourts met again on the court after three years, but this time, it was Jordan who brought a bad team that was at the bottom last season to challenge Lin Tian's team!

This game has undoubtedly attracted the attention of the entire league and even the world!

Some people even said directly: The Emperor is back! The current goat must give up his position!
The Christmas game will be the Pacers versus last year's Finals rivals the Lakers. The two sides will start their first game against each other this season on Christmas! The team that wins this game will be able to gain praise from fans and a lot of self-confidence in the coming period!

In addition, on the eve of the Chinese New Year, the second day of the Lunar New Year, and the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, the league specially arranged three games that Chinese fans love to watch!
The Pacers faced the Nets on New Year's Eve, the Mavericks faced the Nets on the second day of the New Year, and the Pacers faced the Mavericks on the fourth day of the New Year!

In 5 days, 3 Chinese derbies! For Chinese fans, this is definitely the Chinese New Year! It’s enough to make fans across China choose to watch TV at home instead of visiting relatives!
After all, although Lin Tianhe has had a Chinese derby before, firstly, the two are not in position, and secondly, they only play twice a year.

But now there is another No. 2 pick, Yao, who can compete with him. In the blink of an eye, it has become the Romance of the Three Kingdoms!
Anyway, this year is definitely the happiest and most anticipated year for Chinese fans!
In particular, through various news, hints and rumors, next summer, the NBA will very likely allow two teams with Chinese players to come to China for two preseason games!

Watch NBA at your doorstep! There are also our own people from China!

Very exciting!

But of course, the game has to be played one game at a time, and the time has to pass day by day.

It’s still a little early to talk about the Chinese Derby and the Chinese Summer pre-match.

For example, after the training camp is over, the Pacers still have to play preseason games!

Their preseason opponents, for some reason, are more numerous than before. Unlike other seasons, they are not limited to a few teams near Indiana.

This time, in addition to the 76ers led by their old rival Allen Iverson in the preseason, the Celtics led by Pierce, who had just renewed his contract in advance and signed a five-year, $5 million extension, had just signed a three-year, $6700 million contract with the team. The Knicks are led by Houston with a big contract.

In addition to these teams near the Pacers, the league also arranged the Heat in the Southeast Division, the Bucks in the Atlantic Division, and the Hornets in the Central Division!
In 6 preseason games, the Pacers played 6 completely different opponents in a row!

Lin Tian didn't know why he arranged it like this, but it was a preseason game anyway, just for fun and to get a feel for it. Even if the league arranged for them to play against the Mars team, it was just for fun.

Lin Tian, ​​who was too lazy to think about it, soon met their first opponent.

Philadelphia 76ers!
Before the game started, while the two sides were warming up, Lin Tian suddenly discovered that Iverson was particularly excited tonight!

Not only did this guy rarely warm up by running around with the team, he also added several additional sets of shooting training for himself.

Iverson added additional training tasks to himself!

This sounds as outrageous as Lin Tian deleting all the girls' phone numbers.

Lin Tian, ​​who was extremely curious, quickly walked to Iverson's side. He wanted to hear what Iverson was having.

"Don't act stupid! Aren't you excited, Lin? Don't you feel particularly excited about this season?" Iverson's eyes widened and he looked at Lin Tian expectantly.

But after seeing Lin Tian shaking his head without any reaction, Iverson immediately said boredly: "Michael! Michael is back! That's Michael! I can face him again, I can beat him again! This Isn’t it worth getting excited about? Isn’t it worth giving yourself another set of shooting?”

"I have already thought about it. When we face each other in the regular season, I will not rest for a minute. I will face him the whole time. I will keep breaking through and tearing him apart! I will beat Michael beyond doubt. Life, beat him to the point of regretting his comeback!”

Search Ga!

That’s what happened! Lin Tian immediately understood what Iverson meant, and then he looked at Iverson and said: "Come on! Michael is 38 years old this year! His speed, lateral movement, physical strength and ability must have declined significantly. "Don't be afraid of him. I will stand by you and support you. You will definitely beat Michael up and let him know that the outdated old dog should stay in his own kennel and not come out to embarrass himself!"

"Not bad!" Iverson clapped his hands excitedly and said, "Kill him!"

Yes, yes, kill him!
Lin Tianzai saw Iverson's reaction and the feedback he provided, and he felt that he had found the right path!

Back then, I, Mr. Lin, left the Bulls and spent one summer forming the "Avengers". With a group of old men who had a grudge against Jordan, we completed our revenge and ruined Jordan's three-game dream.

Well, this year you Jordan is back again. No matter what I, Mr. Lin, have to save another game and welcome the return of the former king of the league!

And Lin Tian now knows why six different opponents were arranged for him in the preseason. Somehow, it has its own destiny!

In the second game of the preseason, in Boston, the twin stars Pierce and Walker became extremely affectionate as soon as they saw Lin Tian. They surrounded Lin Tian on the left and right, talking to him about the bloody battle between Lin Tian and Tyson in the offseason. Son.

Looking at the expressions of these two brothers, it is obvious that they have endless memories of that game and love it very much!
"Let me tell you, beating up a comeback legend in the boxing world is so exciting! It's not just about making money, you know. Of course, I also made a lot of money, and many companies and brands asked me to cooperate!"

"The important thing is, it's great! Do you know how I was treated in a Las Vegas nightclub after I defeated Tyson? All the girls in the nightclub lined up to sleep with me! Also, I No matter where I go, people call me 'Tyson the Terminator'!"

"There are even people outside my house who want to learn martial arts from me and learn fighting skills from me!"

“That’s great!” Pierce looked at Lin Tian with envy and said, “It’s a pity that our boxing skills are not worth mentioning. We can’t get on the ring and enjoy your feelings and happiness!”

"If you can't get into the ring, what else can you do! In our NBA, isn't there also a 'Tyson' who has come back? If you two beat him up, you will completely destroy him."

"Jordan!" Walker responded a little faster, and now his eyes lit up!

"We brothers, fuck Jordan to pieces! Knock him down! Then we will definitely get so much extra praise and money! There will definitely be countless chicks who want to sleep with the two of us!" Pierce put his hands on his hands As soon as I took a shot, I immediately felt no longer sleepy!

Walker also looked forward to it and said: "When the time comes, let's see who he guards. Whoever he guards will sit him in the low post! Use our bodies to beat him to death! Crush him into a meat pie!"

"What if he doesn't guard us? What if he guards our defender?" Pierce was suddenly worried.

"You're stupid, Paul!" Lin Tian held back his laughter, patted Pierce on the shoulder and said, "Have you never seen me play? I switched him in front of you in a pick-and-roll! If he didn't switch, just block again!"

"What if he doesn't come?" Pierce asked another stupid question.

"Then spray him! Spray his ancestral graves with black smoke, scold his whole family, say he is a homeless old dog, say he is a lost dog abandoned by Chicago!"

"Then, you don't need to pick and roll, he must have come over on his own initiative!"

"But it's not good to provoke Jordan!" Walker was still a little rational at the moment. After all, Jordan is still very powerful!

"Antoine, the one you are afraid of is the 33-year-old all-powerful Jordan!" Lin Tian waved his hand and said with a splashing look: "But what you have to face next is that you have not played professionally for two years. During the game, his physical function declined severely. He just celebrated his 38th birthday and is about to turn 40! "

"Jordan, who is in his 40s, is almost 50 years old when he is riding a horse. A man who is half buried in the ground is scared to death!"

Jordan: How did you asshole learn math? I just celebrated my 38th birthday and am almost 50?
Lin Tian: Sorry! This is China’s unique and great calculation method, which is more exciting than Mutombo’s!

Virtual age algorithm!

You can be as old as you want according to your needs!

"That's right! What a fright! Beat him to death!" After hearing these words, Walker's ambition ignited again! Determined to have a good showdown with Jordan!
The third game of the preseason!

magic!

After listening to Lin Tian's nonsense, Hill, who had always been easy-going and elegant, just smiled and didn't show much excitement.

As for McGrady, this guy's eyes were always confused and could not be opened, and he was obviously excited after hearing Lin Tian's words!

Kill Jordan!
Even if it's 40-year-old Jordan, that's interesting!
And more importantly, Jordan will definitely be interviewed after the game!
"Tracy is a very talented young man. His shooting, breakthrough and vision are all top-notch! I think he can become the best swingman after me!"

Tsk tsk tsk, listen! Look! Being praised by Jordan in front of all the media! What an honor!

With such a little fantasy and excitement, McGrady also turned around and went to training.

However, Malone, who had just renewed his contract for one year and decided to stay in Orlando for another year, pulled McGrady very vigilantly and said, "Tracy, I'll give you a piece of advice. No matter what that Lin said to you, take it as such." He’s farting! This guy is talking nonsense!”

"If you believe him, you will definitely be framed by him!"

"No, Karl, this guy just asked me to risk my life to attack Jordan when we played against the Wizards! He said that if I can beat Jordan, then I can let countless people know me!"

"Beat Jordan?" Upon hearing this, Lin Tian's number one enemy in the league, or his number one defeated opponent, immediately expressed that he was not sleepy anymore!
Let’s talk about Jordan, it’s interesting to hear it! Malone even forgot to try to provoke the relationship between Lin Tian and Tracy McGrady.

"I'll set up a screen for you when the time comes, and I'll make sure you beat him completely!" Malone no longer guessed what Lin Tian's intentions were at this moment. These words of beating Jordan were enough to make him put down most of his defenses. And hatred!

"It's a deal!" McGrady chuckled and gave Malone a high-five. He felt that he was absolutely fine!

In Miami, Payton frowned and said, "Have you said this to half the league?"

Look! Laojianghu is just different! Lin Tian's background was revealed in one sentence!
"There aren't that many, just one-fifth! After all, I can't play many opponents in the preseason, and I don't have that many people to meet. More importantly, let those rookies and weaklings go against Jordan. That’s too bad! They’ll be blown away!”

"So this time I am looking for people who are absolutely capable and will most likely be able to teach the 38-year-old Michael a lesson!"

"Interesting!" Peyton stroked the beard on his chin and said, "Count me in! Let's target Michael together when the time comes!"

Yeah, feel good!

Next, the Bucks, Knicks and Pacers each played a preseason game. Of course, Lin Tian was equally exposed to the rain and dew. He told Ray Allen, Houston and others about the incident. These people were not afraid to watch the excitement. The big guys agreed one after another!

When they face Jordan, they must go all out and perform at 120% as much as possible. What they want is to knock Jordan to the ground and make him miss the playoffs!
Yes, the ultimate goal of several young people is to make Jordan's comeback a complete failure! Unable to lead the team into the playoffs!

Let Jordan lead the lottery! This idea is exciting and interesting as soon as you hear it!

So, after playing a few games in the preseason, Lin Tian was able to contact several teams in the Eastern Conference, and everyone reached an agreement that did not require any restrictions or written records!
Kill Jordan and knock the Wizards out of the playoffs!

Let Jordan Lottery+ be targeted and beaten by the opponent's swingman throughout the season!
Cool!
After contacting several star backcourts in the East, Lin Tian took out his phone and started calling friends on the West Coast.

"Kobe, how are you? What? Are you training?! Are you crazy? It's 12 o'clock in the evening!"

"Is it for Jordan? To compete with him again when he comes back and beat him completely? Very good! Just like what I thought, it's okay. Bye, you train hard!"

Well, I have made this call too many times. As soon as a person like Kobe hears that he can challenge Jordan one-on-one, he will be completely excited immediately, get into the state, and then start practicing like crazy.

Mistake! What a waste of phone bills!
Then, Lin Tian was reading the phone book while making phone calls. He called the west, the east, the east, and then checked again to see if there was any fish that slipped through the net!

In short, this work wasted almost a whole day of Lin Tian's time! What he has to do is not to miss even a star-level backcourt or forward. This time Jordan comes back. As Jordan's best buddy in the league, Lin Tian can't let his old brother down!
A comeback gift that will impress him and be unforgettable is a must!
Within this day, Lin Tian assembled an alliance! An alliance that does not require any documents, restrictions, terms, precautions, or behavioral restrictions.

This alliance goes by several names.

One is 'Welcome Michael back to the league'.

One is 'Michael, you old dog has expired'!
Or maybe it's '39-year-old man, don't make the playoffs, just rest in the lottery'.

Of course, there is another name that Lin Tian likes the most.

'Michael, when I go downstairs to buy a pack of cigarettes, I can see ten men who have beaten you up'!
Well, the last time it was Lin Tian who formed a team with his old brothers to bully Jordan.

This time, it was Lin Tian who brought his young brothers all over the league to give Jordan a big gift!
Happy!
I just don’t know if when the regular season begins and the Wizards start playing one game after another, Jordan will suddenly find that he has become the target of public criticism. He will start to be used as a breakthrough point to continuously attack, and he can no longer defend himself. I can't stand those top players anymore. I am beaten by others again and again!
I wonder if Jordan would have been able to break out something for himself without that time?

With this expectation and longing for the regular season, the Pacers finally ushered in their regular season debut!

Sit at the Conseco Center at home and face the Washington Wizards who come to challenge!
As the first home game of the new season, the defending champion Pacers will also present their championship rings at home and raise the championship flag that belongs only to them!
This is the third year in four years that the Pacers have done this kind of thing, so although the fans at the scene were crazy, happy and roaring constantly, their emotions were not too exaggerated!
After all, they are now clear about raising the championship flag!

A long process of various performances, speeches, suspense settings, analysis and explanation of championship ring design concepts, introduction to various details, etc.
After these procedures, in which almost no one watched and no one listened, and brought nothing but boos, the lights at the scene finally dimmed!

Then a spotlight was turned on, aiming right at the rising flag of the Pacers!

The entire scene immediately burst into cheers, and the audience once again began to unleash their passion!
When the championship flag rose to a high point, the atmosphere in the entire Conseco Center reached a climax!
Then the boss made a speech, and the players, coaching staff and other staff came forward one by one to receive their championship rings! Publish a few more comments and the like.

And then?
Then the players quickly returned to the locker room and put their rings in the locker room. After all, they had to play the game, and no one could play with their championship rings! Putting it on the bench, it is easy to lose it.

What's more, they are willing to play with a ring, but the opposite Wizards are not willing either!

Then, the two sides still hadn't started to warm up, because a tribute video was suddenly played on the big screen!

As for the object of tribute, it was Rick Schmitz who just announced yesterday that he signed a symbolic one-day contract with the team and came to the Conseco Center hoping to retire as a Pacers player!
This meritorious player who has spent 90% of his career with the Pacers and has been selected as an All-Star and won a championship has come to leave!

As soon as they saw Schmitz's video, the fans at the scene immediately understood that their hero was back!
cheer! Crazy cheers! Indiana fans never let down their heroes!

"Envy it." Lin Tian suddenly walked up to Jordan and started chatting.

"What's there to be envious of?" Jordan chewed gum and said, "It's you, are you ready to be beaten up by me later?"

"I hope you can still say something like this after the game."

Lin Tian was really curious at this moment. When Jordan found out that he would face the top swingmen in the entire league chasing him and risking his life to prove himself by beating him up, how could he still be like this? Is it easy?

"By the way, after you come back and play for a year, do you have to retire again, then return to the management and buy back your own shares? Isn't that how it works?"

"That's what happened, but it could be two years. It depends on my condition. What's wrong? Do you have anything to say?" Jordan looked at Lin Tian and instinctively told him that this guy definitely had no good intentions.

"I just want to say, have you signed any contract with the Wizards, something similar to a buy-back agreement, so that you can retire when you want to retire and return to the management at any time. Instead of being Squeeze out the remaining value and kick it away!" (End of Chapter)
