Learning in the NBA can make you a god

"My God, which general manager are you going to contact?" Li Ming couldn't sit still. The team didn't have a general manager. He really couldn't play. Now he doesn't even understand how to sign contracts with rookies. How can I play it?
"Right away. I'll be in New York for a day to deal with things, and I'll contact you to handle this matter next."

After comforting his cousin, Li Tian went to deal with his own affairs.

"Hi, Li, nice to see you again!" O'Neill walked towards Li Tian, ​​feeling very happy.

"O'Neal, have you really decided to retire?" Although I know that O'Neal is really old and sometimes cannot contribute much to the team on the court, he still has some effect off the court.

"Yes, I have played for 20 seasons and I really can't play anymore. I played very few games last season. It is better to retire early. I can accept injury and rest, but I cannot accept sitting on the sidelines and watching my teammates play. .

The team is going to build a dynasty and needs new blood. My departure is to give the team the best help. "

O'Neal still declined politely. His contract expired and now he has won the same number of championships as Kobe. Retiring early may be the best choice.

"Well, now that you have decided, I will not keep you anymore. I hope that when the Knicks need you, you can help the team." Li Tian said with a smile.

"Don't worry, but you should be happy for me, because after retiring, I have found my next job. You will definitely not think about what it will be!"

O'Neal's obedient look makes people laugh.

"You don't want to be a commentator, do you?" We still went the same way and held a minute's silence for Barkley inexplicably. I really feel for this guy.

"Why, how did you guess it?" O'Neal did this in secret. He only made this contact after the championship parade was over, and it was just confirmed a few days ago.

"Guess, when will he announce his retirement?" It's a good time to get together and part ways, and from now on there will be another Li Chui in the commentary world.

"It's coming soon, but I have to announce it soon, otherwise no one will pay attention to this matter by the Olympics."

After chatting with O'Neal, McGrady also came to discuss leaving the team with him. He also only signed for two years.In the playoffs this season, he spent most of the time sitting on the sidelines, so he decided to change to a team where he could use his price. A team has already contacted him, and of course his annual salary has increased a lot.

"Lee, I have contacted Yao and am preparing to leave the Knicks. Thank you for your help." McGrady said sincerely.

With his current strength, in a championship team, he can only play as a substitute at most. He can appear in the playoffs for a while. In the finals, as long as there is no accident, he will not even have a chance to play. If he changes to another team , he is likely to be able to break into the starting lineup.

"Are you sure which team you want to go to?" Li Tian has long been used to this. The league is in flux, and sooner or later someone will leave.

"I'm still practicing, I still have strength, so I" McGrady didn't know how to say it. After all, he won two championships with the Knicks. At the most dangerous time in his career, the Knicks signed him.

"It doesn't matter. If you really want to leave, I will congratulate you." Li Tian did not retain him. It is obviously not appropriate to retain him now. McGrady can no longer contribute in the finals. He needs to train new players in the regular season. It is a rotation on the edge of the team, and staying in the Knicks is not so suitable for him.

"Thank you. I will go to your place to train during the offseason. After the training is over, I will consider which team to sign with." McGrady was finally relieved. He didn't know how to speak at first, but now he is relieved.

Li Tian has his own considerations in sending McGrady away. The Kings can try to sign McGrady. Middleton currently lacks a qualified master. If he has McGrady, maybe he will speed up his growth.

After finishing things in New York, Li Tian and Li Ming had a new communication about the Kings. The goal of the Kings next season is to train new players, and then they need to enter the season. At this time, McGrady's experience is very important, and the team does not have it. old man.

"Cousin, contact this person and invite him to be the general manager of the team. The team has only one goal next season, which is to train new players and let them grow up.

Evans, Lillard, Middleton, Cousins, and Whiteside are all good players. I need them to grow up quickly in two seasons so that the team can go further. As for the head coach In this regard, I am still considering whether to replace him.

However, the assistant coaching team can indeed add a new person. Tyronn Lue can invite him to join the coaching staff. I will give you the contact information later. "

Li Tian decided on the candidates for the next two important positions of the Kings. As for some of the subsequent transactions, Li Tian would not interfere too much. After all, as long as the goals are clear and left to professionals, the results may be better.

Give them untradeable candidates and everything else will be easier to operate.

Ten minutes later, through Bill Duffy, Li Tian asked for the contact information of these two people. Duffy's network of contacts in the past two years instantly became popular, no less than James' agent.

"Hello, are you Mr. Miles?" Li Ming dialed Miles' phone number immediately. Time is money, and the head coach still has the team.

"Hello, who are you?" Miles rarely answers calls from strangers. Maybe this is fate. "I'm sorry, I should introduce myself. I am the new owner of the Kings. Now the team needs a professional manager. I want to invite you to join the team. I don't know if you will choose to join the Kings."

After Li Tian introduced himself, he directly explained the purpose of his visit without any fuss.

"Well, you are the boss of the Kings, but I have just been the assistant general manager for a year, so..." Myers is not so confident. After all, he only stayed with the Warriors for a year and now he is the general manager. His abilities may be better. There are some shortcomings.

"That's no problem. For me, the Kings are also young. You have a season of trial and error time. The team has only one goal next season - to train new players, try to release salary through trade, and then try to trade for Li Tian. "

Li Ming smiled and said that the person recommended by his cousin should be good.

"Um, can you give me some time to think about it?" Miles tried to ask. This choice is very important and he needs to think about it carefully.

"No problem, I will return to China next, and I won't be in the beautiful country for too long, so I hope you can give an answer as soon as possible, because the team needs to get back on track as soon as possible, and some operations are needed during the offseason." Li Ming He is really anxious, this is not his expertise.

"Okay, I'll give you an answer tomorrow."

The task of poaching is not over yet. Originally, Li Tian planned to call Cole directly, but after thinking about it, the team lineup is different. Calling Cole may not be easy. Try Tyronn Lue first. If it doesn't work, call Cole next season. you.

"Hello, Mr. Tyronn Lue, let me introduce myself. I am the current owner of the Kings. I hope you can join the Kings' assistant coaching team. Of course, you must also be prepared to become the head coach." He said bluntly and directly. Abandoned, cut the mess quickly, anyway, there is no ink stain at all.

Next season's Kings will just try. If it doesn't work, just replace it. The loss won't be too big. If the operation is successful and even makes the playoffs, the income will definitely be doubled.

The Kings have entered the playoffs once in the 05-06 season and have failed to reach the playoffs for many consecutive seasons. This is one of the important reasons why the team was sold.

If the new owner can take the team into the playoffs, future profits will definitely be stable.

"Mr. Li, are you sure you want to invite me to be an assistant coach or even have the opportunity to be the head coach?" Tyronn Lue asked in disbelief.

"Yes, I am sure. I hope you can reply to me within three days, otherwise I will find a new coach again. I am going to complete the rookie signing, general manager signing and your signing in a week, and then return directly to China."

Tyronn Lue was dumbfounded. Didn't you even investigate this?
******
A week later, in Sacramento, a press conference was held at Kings headquarters.

First of all, the team signed two rookies just selected this year, No. 5 Lillard in the first round and Middleton in the second round.

Then another news was announced that they would sign the "eldest nephew" who was not drafted by the Chinese Dynasty, and he would be given a three-year basic salary contract!
At the press conference, there was some commotion. The Chinese boss + Chinese players, it was time to compete for the big cake. This is a natural advantage that other players can never match.

"I am announcing that Miles will be the new general manager of the team." Li Ming said at the press conference.

The reporter was a little confused at this time. He didn't seem to have a good resume. He only worked as an assistant to the general manager for one year and became the new general manager of the Kings directly. He signed a lightning contract and then took office.

"I hope we can have a happy cooperation and the team will get better and better in the future!" Li Ming said.

"Me too, I hope we have a pleasant cooperation!" Neither of them shouted slogans about entering the playoffs and the team competing for the championship. That is unrealistic.

Li Ming is now familiar with the signing and group photo, and a set of procedures.

"I know everyone is very curious and has many questions to ask, but we still need to wait a moment. We still have a contract to sign, so please wait a moment." Li Ming stopped the reporter's questions with a very serious posture. So chic and handsome.

"Mr. Tyronn Lue, I hope you will be satisfied with this contract." Li Ming expressed his attitude.

After the two completed the signing, reporters could not wait. They had too many questions in their minds that needed the new boss to answer. They wanted to know more news about the Kings.

"It's a pleasure to cooperate. I hope you can help these newcomers and let them grow up quickly." He whispered in Tai Lun Lu's ear, which shows how much Li Ming attaches importance to Tai Lun Lu. Of course, there are still more people behind the scenes. The result of all this.

After all the signings were finally completed, the breath in Li Ming's heart was finally a little more comfortable. The next thing, after answering the questions, he can go back to China directly.
