On June 22, 1994, it has been 4 days since the NBA Finals ended, and there is only one week left before the NBA draft in Indianapolis on June 29. If it were normal, no matter what big things happened in NBA, the public opinion of NBA will not change at this time. It should be aimed at the NBA draft. After all, the NBA draft can be said to be one of the four most important events in NBA every year, and are four major events tied with the Finals, All-Stars and Christmas Battles. However, at this time, NBA public opinion can hardly find information about this year's draft.

Maybe there will be some time in the future. After all, this year's draft is not a little New Year, but also a big year. Let's not talk about the super newcomers. Jordan's successor Grant Hill and super young point guard Kidd, as well as super talented newcomer Glen Robinson. Even the other little tigers of Michigan's Five Tigers are quite outstanding in the United States. It can be said that this year's draft draft year is not as good as the previous two years in terms of overall players' ability and talent, but it is not bad at all in top rookies. After all, there are three recognized players who can definitely become superstars as long as normal development is not unexpected, especially Grant Hill, this NCAA super player in the United States

Their aura is even higher than last year's Hardaway. Even in the entire NBA, except Lin Han and Jordan, I'm afraid no one dares to say that he can compete with him in terms of popularity. In fact, even Jordan and Lin Han may not be much more popular than Grant Hill. This guy is the co-leader of NCAA. Now Jordan or Lin Han in the NCAA basketball world. Although there are many players in the NCAA basketball world, the popularity is very scattered, but it depends on the situation. If there is no super rookie, the popularity will be very scattered, but after having a super rookie, then the popularity will be concentrated. As long as the popularity of NCAA fans is concentrated, it is really no worse than that of NBA.

However, at this time, even if Grant Hill is tempting, most of the NBA's general managers have gathered in Salt Lake City at this time, and most of the media have already set their sights on Salt Lake City and Lin Han. After all, no matter how promising Grant Hill and the others have, it is still a future. Now Lin Han is the real number one popular superstar in NBA.

"Brother, are you really going to leave Salt Lake City?"

The news about Lin Han leaving Salt Lake City and Utah in the past two days can be said to have filled the entire American public opinion community. In this case, how could Lin Han’s elder sister not know? It can be said that the day after the quarrel between Lin Han and Jerry Sloan in the office, Lin Han’s elder sister had already asked for leave and did not go to work but was with Lin Han.

Although Lin Han looked very calm today, he was still silent like the previous few days. He did not want to express his thoughts, which also made Lin Han's family a little worried.

However, at this time, Lin Han also smiled bitterly when facing the care of his elder sister and the younger sister.

Will you leave Salt Lake City? These major American media have already analyzed them thoroughly. If you make a choice between Lin Han, Malone and Stockton, the Jazz have almost no reason to trade Marlon and Stockton.

Lin Han’s biggest advantage over Malone and Stockton is that he is young enough, he represents the future, and he is also more popular and has greater commercial value.

But these advantages may be advantages in many other teams in NBA, but it may not be advantages in the Jazz team. After all, the two Jazz are in the past year and their physical condition is quite excellent. At least they can maintain their peak for four or five years. The team has built the team with these two as the cornerstone for the past ten years. Even if Lin Han comes to the Jazz team this season, it is a point outside the tactics on the team. Although Lin Han seems to have a free tactical position in the Jazz team. This looks cool, from another perspective, Lin Han is actually a player outside the Jazz team's tactical system. Until the team plays superstar tactics in the second half, Lin Han is truly joining the team's tactical system. If Jerry Sloan is given a choice, he will

Choose to stay Lin Han to rebuild a tactical system for Lin Han, or choose to keep Malone and Stockton, which has long been rewarded with extremely mature tactical systems? It will take at least two or three years to build a tactical system for Lin Han with Jerry Sloan's ability. Does the Jazz have the ability and attractiveness to find players suitable for Lin Han. Also, after only two or three years, the team has established a suitable system for Lin Han. How long can this system take Lin Han to win the championship? After all, when Lin Han's teammates are not Malone and Stockton and others, can Lin Han's system really let Lin Han see hope for the championship? If the Jazz never can let Lin Han see hope for the championship, how long will this young man who is the goal of the King of Football have a deeper emotion towards the Jazz?

Therefore, Lin Han seems to be the future of the team, but in fact, he only keeps Lin Han and cannot keep players of Malone and Stockton. Lin Han may indeed have a bright future, but this future is definitely not part of the Jazz.

As for commercial value, Lin Han does have extremely high commercial value, but this commercial value cannot play his actual financial effect in Salt Lake City. Most of the revenue of the NBA team is divided equally by 27 teams in the league. For example, the broadcast fee sold to ABC by the league, such as the 6% regular season tickets and 45% playoff tickets and even some other commercial developments. The league is divided equally by the Los Angeles Lakers and Jazz or New York. The biggest difference in revenue of all teams in the league is the remaining 94% of the regular season tickets and 55% of the playoffs and the broadcast rights sold by the team privately. The average price of regular season tickets for the Lakers and New York is almost the Jazz.

5 times or even more, California and New York have a population of more than 30 million and nearly 40 million respectively. If Time Warner acquires broadcast rights from the Lakers and Jazz at the same time, then with California's population of nearly 40 million, the Lakers' broadcast fee will probably be more than 10 times and 20 times that of the Jazz. If the Lakers' annual private broadcast fee income can be more than 100 million, the Jazz will be at most 10 million. This is not determined by players but by the population base. As for the ticket income, the same is true. Even Jordan and Lin Han are both on the Jazz. Fans will be under pressure for a ticket of more than 100 US dollars. If Lin Han and Jordan are both in the Lakers or New York, there is no pressure to sell a ticket of 1,000 US dollars.

Therefore, although Lin Han compares Stockton and Malone with extremely huge commercial value, because the limit of Salt Lake City is too low, the maximum commercial ability that Salt Lake City can tolerate is 100. Even if Lin Han’s commercial value exceeds 1,000, it can only have 100 effects in Salt Lake City. Therefore, for the Jazz, even if Stockton and Malone are really 10 times worse than Lin Han’s commercial value. But it is enough for the Jazz, after all, Salt Lake City’s commercial capacity is only so large.

Compared with the Jazz's two elders, Lin Han, the two biggest advantages are in Salt Lake City and the Jazz. If the dispute between Lin Han and the two elders is in the Los Angeles Lakers, then there is no need to think that Malone and Stockton will definitely be the losers. Even without Malone and Stockton, the Lakers can quickly create a tactical system for Lin Han with money. For the Jazz, their financial resources do not allow the tactical system to be built without failure. Because after one failure, there will be no money, and even these players who are not suitable for Lin Han cannot be cleaned up, while the Lakers or the Trail Blazers are different. If one construction fails, it doesn't matter, push it back and start over. If this group of people is not suitable, then I will find another group of people, isn't it just a bit more garbage contracts to spend more money? Both the Lakers and the Trail Blazers can afford it.

As for commercial value, it goes without saying that if Lin Han goes to Los Angeles and New York, it will really belong to the dragon entering the sea. Not to mention anything else, it is just Lin Han’s Miracle Generation sales. If Lin Han is in Los Angeles or New York, Lin Han’s Miracle Generation sales will probably increase by at least 1 million pairs. This is the least. How much is a million pairs? This is more than 100 million US dollars!

This is just Lin Han’s personal commercial value. If it is a team, take the Lakers as an example. The average ticket price of 100 US dollars was increased to 200 after Lin Han joined. Although it seems much more expensive, fans will also buy it. 20,000 people watch a game, that is the difference of 1 million US dollars. The 41 regular season home games in a season are 41 million US dollars! And this is just the regular season!

Of course, this is an analysis by major media across the United States in recent times, and it has almost been extremely thorough. After Malone and Stockton showdown to the Jazz and can only choose one of them, even if the Jazz fans are loyal, they know that the team is likely to lose Lin Han because this is an obvious matter. In this case, although many Jazz fans are very dissatisfied with Malone and Stockton's behavior, after all, these two are veterans who have contributed 10 years to the team. Even if they are dissatisfied, they can only vent their hearts. Of course, although many Jazz fans are very sad and a little dissatisfied with Malone and Stockton, they still endure it. But some Jazz fans are not like this, especially Lin Han's outstanding performance this season cannot leave a group of die-hard fans in Salt Lake City.

When the media reported that Stockton and Malone put pressure on the team, those Jazz's Lin Han fans began to siege the team's office building and asked to stay Lin Han to trade Malone and Stockton. Of course, Lin Han has die-hard fans in Salt Lake City. How could Malone and Stockton have not been in Salt Lake City for so many years? When Lin Han fans held Malone and Stockton's jerseys outside the Delta Center or the team's office building to burn, Malone and Stockton's jerseys were also unwilling to be outdone. The way they hit back would not be to burn Lin Han's jerseys, but to extinguish the fire with a bucket in their hands. As long as they saw anyone burning Malone and Stockton's jerseys, they would go to extinguish the fire.

After all, even the die-hard fans of Malone and Stockton did not have much hatred for Lin Han. This was not Lin Han’s fault. In fact, Malone and Stockton’s die-hard fans in Salt Lake City were more than Lin Han’s. However, when the fans of both sides confronted outside the team’s office building, Lin Han even had the upper hand in terms of number. This was not only the die-hard fans of Stockton and Malone were indeed weak in momentum, but also many people did not stand up. This really couldn’t stand up. Especially after the two men competed with the team’s boss based on their performance in the final finals, Lin Han won. Malone’s behavior was a less authentic behavior.

Of course. Anyway, when Lin Han, Malone and Stockton were made, the entire Salt Lake City immediately turned into a smell of gunpowder from a festive atmosphere. The entire Salt Lake City and Utah fans were torn apart, and the entire Salt Lake City fans were divided into four factions. One faction was Lin Han's loyalty, and they were burning Malone and Stockton's jerseys, which accounted for about 15%, and another group of loyal fans were Malone and Stockton, who were executing the fire to extinguish the fire by executors. And the behavior of maintaining Malone and Stockton, these fans were about 10%, while some die-hard fans of Malone and Stockton did not participate in the firefighting and maintenance operations. These fans chose to remain silent about 20%. The remaining fans were absolutely neutral on this issue. They did not burn Malone and Stockton's jerseys or maintained Malone and Stockton, but kept calling or writing letters to the team, threatening The team cannot trade any of the three. They don’t care whether the team has any difficulties or not. Anyway, Lin Han, Malone and Stockton cannot be left behind. It is this group of fans that really made Scott Rayden jump in the Jazz General Manager’s office at this time. The public is full of grievances. No matter who chooses to stay, it is full of grievances. And more importantly, after Malone and Stockton made a request to the team, Lin Han also called the team early this morning and also made a request. Malone and Stockton wanted to stay in the team. They had to be his assistant, otherwise they would be either they or I would be gone. Obviously, the Jazz rookie was angry with the team's attitude and Malone Stockton's behavior, which directly means that the Jazz had no choice at all. Originally, Rayden, Jerry Sloan and Old Miller were still doing work for Lin Han, but now it seems that there is no need to do work.

After Lin Han broke up with Malone and Stockton at Malone's family and made a request to the team without being outdone, the Jazz's current choice can be one of two choices. It is impossible to forcefully suppress the conflict between the three. In this case, the Jazz now needs to make a choice.

Before the Jazz made a choice, a very special guest was welcomed at Lin Han's home.

Ms. Sandlin Saihebi, CEO of the Miracle Brand of Adidas, actually brought a large group of people to Lin Han's home. She is no stranger to this mature and capable strong woman with short black hair. Although Lin Han is a major shareholder and big boss of Miracle, Lin Han rarely deals with miracle matters, she still knows this strong woman Lin Han very well.

And he came to Lin Han's house at this time to simply repay his work for Lin Han. If he just reported on his work, he would not need to bring a large group of people. According to Lin Han, these people she brought were all top students in economics and finance from Ivy League universities!

"Lin, although I know you don't like others interfering in your affairs, there is one thing you need to understand. When such a big thing happens, you can't let us gain confidence from the newspaper. Do you understand what I mean?"

As the CEO of Miracle Company, she could only know from the newspaper that Lin Han might leave the team. How could she bear this? She had always wanted to form a professional agent team for Lin Han, but Lin Han had always refused. Lin Han's reason was quite weird. She actually said that these guys would affect his life and his judgment of his own decisions.

Lin Han is a very self-centered person, and Sandlin also knows that both the agent and the agent team will indeed affect the players' judgment of many things. However, even so, this time, Sandlin is ready to stop obeying Lin Han's instructions.

As the boss of Miracle Company and the most important person of this brand, all Lin Han's actions will have a huge impact on the entire brand. She cannot allow Lin Han to lose communication with the company, which is intolerable.

For example, this time, when Lin Han was leaving the Jazz, what if she didn't know the news from the newspaper and waited until Lin Han made a decision?

Although she knew Lin Han's personality and didn't like others to interfere in his personal affairs, she had to set up an agent team for Lin Han no matter what. This time she brought everyone directly, let's see how Lin Han opposed it.

Of course, at this time, looking at this extremely powerful lady, Lin Han did not object to the company's team of agents for him. After all, he really needs to consider some other things now. In the Jazz team, in this city that basically does not have much commercial value, Lin Han needs to handle the relationship with several big brands. McDonald's and Adidas, just these two brands, Adidas doesn't need him to worry about. McDonald's team has a team to help him handle it, and there are not many other things. After all, those companies were really a little scared by Lin Han's terrifying doubled quotation, plus the cities and regions where Lin Han came from. Even if they really ask Lin Han to endorse Lin Han, how much sales bonus can they have for their products? If Lin Han is in Los Angeles or New York, with Lin Han's popularity, let alone double, even if it's multiple, it will be fine, and they will never be scared away by Lin Han.

Now, since Lin Han is willing to accept Sandlin's agent team, it means that although the team has not made a decision yet, in Lin Han's heart, he is probably very clear. This time, the break between him and Malone will not leave Malone but him!

In fact, just as Lin Han guessed. On June 23, 1994, the day after Sandline brought the miracle agent team to Salt Lake City, Lin Han went to the team again. This time, he did not meet the team's head coach or the team's boss in the team, but only met the team's general manager Scott Rayden.

"Lin, we really don't want you to leave. Can't you really wait for three more years? Carl said. In three years, you will be the only king of this team!"

Although I know very clearly what kind of choice Lin Han would be. But this time, before Scott Rayden made his choice, he still hoped that miracles would happen, and Lin Han could take the initiative to stay because the Jazz knew very well that this team needed Lin Han and needed Lin Han very much. For Malone and Stockton, if Lin Han could not help them, the team won a few more championships, and if Lin Han was not able to win the championship, the meaning would be completely different. However, as a team, the team had already had a championship combination, so it was naturally impossible to break him apart. After all, although there were many powerful players in the NBA, there would not be many players who could make up for Lin Han's position, and even fewer players were willing to stay in a place like Salt Lake City.

It can be said that no matter how the transaction is, trading Lin Han is a loss-making deal for the Jazz!

But after Scott Rayden finished speaking, he looked at Lin Han with a silent expression on his face, and the Jazz general manager also sighed. This was the worst result.

"Lin, thank you for your contribution to the team this season. Although the boss and Jerry are not here now, I believe you can understand their feelings. They are even more grateful to you for your contribution to the team than me, but they are afraid that they will not be able to control their emotions after meeting you."

After Scott Rayden sighed, Lin Han nodded bitterly. Of course, he knew what Rayden said. Not long ago, Lin Ha and Jerry Sloan quarreled. Sloan has been in a very unstable mood recently. He is the person the team doesn't want Lin Han to be traded away. Apart from Jerry Sloan, Jazz owner Miller is the second person who doesn't want Lin Han to leave. Obviously, both of them know that facing Lin Han at this time, it is very likely that they will do something that makes them and Lin Han embarrassed.

Even the team's general manager, isn't Scott Reidon the same at this time?

"Lin, we will fully respect your will in this deal about you. These are the teams that are currently interested in you. Which team you want to go can tell us that we will not make things difficult for you."

Finally, Scott Rayden, who was a little sad, took out a document from his desk and handed it to Lin Han, and said to Lin Han.

In the NBA, when the team wants to trade a super player, several principles are generally followed. The first principle is that generally, the team is not willing to trade their original boss or star in the same zone, especially players who have a high status in the team. This is not just because they do not want to enhance the strength of the team in the same zone. A large part of the reason is that this will embarrass both sides. In the current NBA teams in the same zone, they will play at most six games in a season. As a star player, they are not a role player, and NBA stars and fans are all human beings, and they always have various emotions. If you can meet less, then you will meet less.

Another principle is that if the relationship between the player and the team does not break down during the transaction, the relationship between the two sides is good and the relationship is very good. The team will give priority to the players' opinions, such as the Trail Blazers trade Drexler to the Rockets. Obviously this is Drexler's meaning. The Trail Blazers did not make things difficult for Drexler to make things difficult for him because of Drexler's contribution to the team. For example, when the Jazz traded Jeff Malone, they gave priority to Malone's feelings and did not trade him to a bottom team. Of course, Lin Han will naturally receive higher respect than Jeff Malone. Jeff Malone does not have the right to specify which team he will go to. Lin Han and Drexler have such rights. It can be seen that the Jazz still gave Lin Han great respect.

Of course. In addition to these two principles, another major principle is that the team will not respect the previous two principles for the sake of maximizing interests. For example, the Warriors traded Richmond to the Kings back then. For the sake of maximizing the team's interests, I never thought about whether to trade the team to the embarrassment of meeting the two sides when they met in the same district, nor did I think that Richmond contributed so much to the team and was actually traded by the team to a bottom team at its peak.

Of course, there are only a few principles for trading the core players of the team in the league, and role players are definitely not suitable for these principles. Of course, there are naturally some other principles besides these principles, but they need to lean backwards compared to these three.

The Jazz gave Lin Han the right to choose the team freely, which did not surprise Lin Han. This does not mean that the Jazz's bad guys have a bad attack and feel that they owe Lin Han some compensation. The Jazz will definitely have this idea, but it is also more of a pressure from fans. Even if the Jazz Malone and Stockton die-hard fans agree with the Jazz leaving Malone and Stockton to trade Lin Han, the team is absolutely not allowed to do the behavior of Lin Han like the Warriors treating Richmond.

In this case, it would be really difficult for the Jazz to trade Lin Han. If they trade to a team with good results? They want to exchange Lin Han. But will the Rockets exchange Olajuwon? Will the Knicks exchange Ewing? Will the Supersonics exchange Peyton and Camp? Even if they really exchange, are these people willing to stay in Salt Lake City?

As for the team with poor performance, the Jazz dare not really take the initiative to send Lin Han to a bottom team unless Lin Han himself is willing. They have no choice, so even if they finally decide to trade Lin Han, how to trade is still a problem. And more importantly, the Jazz still needs to consider that this transaction cannot be too disadvantaged, and the team also needs to use this transaction to fill the gap when Lin Han left.

Therefore, the best choice is naturally to let Lin Han choose the team himself. Then, according to Lin Han's choice, they directly told the team that Lin Han chose, "Just get these people for me, our transaction will be completed. If it doesn't get it, then Lin Han will continue to choose. There will always be Lin Han willing to go, and the team can get those teams that the Jazz want to players."

In this case, when the Jazz made a choice between Lin Han and Malone and when Lin Han was officially put on the shelves, the entire Salt Lake City was once again in an uproar. Although all Jazz fans knew that Lin Han's departure was inevitable, when this happened, they might not be willing to accept it. In this case, on June 24, Jazz fans in the entire Salt Lake City once again surrounded the Jazz's office building, and some fans even went to Malone's villa.

But at this time when the Jazz officially put Lin Han on the shelves, the entire Salt Lake City was sensation and excitement, and the general managers of many teams were also sensation and excitement.

On June 24, 1994, Lin Han met almost from morning to night. As for whom he met, it was very simple. Naturally, the general managers of the NBA teams who were interested in Lin Han. After Scott Rayden expressed the principle of trading Lin Han, he said that the team would not force trading Lin Han. The transaction required Lin Han's consent. When Lin Han had the right to veto the transaction, all the general managers of the teams who were interested in Lin Han no longer surrounded the Jazz's office building, but could contact Lin Han openly.

"Lin, there are many people who are taking advantage of the troubled waters."

When night fell and Lin Han sent off the last NBA general manager, Sandlin, who was standing next to Lin Han, said sarcastically. For Lin Han now, there are only a few teams that can build a team around Lin Han, so if you want to get Lin Han, the core question is what they can provide for Lin Han. Most people swear that they will provide Lin Han with the highest salary in the league in the future, but will Lin Han lack the highest salary in the league? With Lin Han's ability and popularity, where are you going to get the maximum salary?

When asked what the team will build for Lin Han’s future championship. Except for a few teams such as Jerry West of the Lakers, Whitcher of the Trail Blazers, and David Cheks of the Knicks, others have never thought about it. Or they have no ability to think about this problem at all. After all, most NBA teams are not the kind of teams that were originally from the University of Finance and Economics. Most teams have the idea of ​​getting Lin Han first. As for what will happen in the future, when Lin Han comes to the team, they can take advantage first, and they really can’t take advantage. Lin Han can leave at any time, and they can use Lin Han as a bargaining chip to rebuild again.

This is the reality of most NBA teams. Teams with strong ambitions and strength have little demands on Lin Han at this time, because Lin Han is unwilling to be a younger brother to Ma Long and left the Jazz. If they cannot provide Lin Han with absolute core status, Lin Han will not go to their team. Most teams with too weak strength have no financial resources and lack planning and are ready to take advantage of Lin Han and the Jazz.

“For you now, in fact, when you choose to leave the Jazz, you don’t have many choices.”

After both Sandlin and Lin Han entered the house, the Adidas strong woman said with a smile, and Lin Han shook her head bitterly when she looked at the confident smile of the emperor.

"You don't have to worry too much. I won't interfere with your choices for the needs of the brand. The Trail Blazers may not be able to provide you with world-class influence. When Jordan returns, the Trail Blazers will become your explosive popularity, but they can provide you with everything you need to rebuild the team. And this team has a simple idea of ​​you. As for the Knicks and the Lakers, the Knicks cannot provide you with enough status, but can provide you with enough influence and excellent existing teams. As for the Lakers, this team can give you world-class influence and explosive popularity growth. But this team is not so unified in introducing you, and their existing teams are not good."

For now, the three teams who are most sincere to Lin Han are these three teams, especially New York, and even New York president David Chekts told Lin Han that as long as Lin Han is willing to accept Ewing's nominal boss status, the team's tactical boss position on the court will be his, just like the Magician and Jabbar later showed-time mode.

The Lakers and the Trail Blazers are also extremely sincere, especially the Lakers' Jerry West and the Trail Blazers' Whitcht. That really directly promised that his team would do his best to build the team quickly around him without any money.

However, compared with the Trail Blazers, the person who seemed to be an assistant who had been following Jerry West seemed to be a little unfriendly to Lin Han. It seems that the Lakers are not so unified in getting Lin Han.

Of course, although Sandline did not think about affecting Lin Han's decision, he still hoped that Lin Han could choose the Knicks or the Lakers, because the two places were cities that could provide Lin Han with world-class influence. The tradition of centers not buying shoes could be broken in New York, not because Ewing is better than Olajuwon, but because he is in a city like New York, while Olajuwon is in Houston.

As for the Trail Blazers, Oregon has a population of three million, which is not much of a big deal, and it does not have much benefit to buying shoes. Even though Oregon is one of the richest states in the United States and has a strong per capita purchasing power, its population and influence are still limited.

Where should I go? This is a somewhat confusing choice. For Lin Han now, since he has chosen to leave, all aspects need to be considered. For example, Sandlin doesn't know about Lin Han's strength improvement, but Lin Han knows very well that if he didn't break the record of 33 consecutive wins in the Jazz but was in the Lakers, not the record of 72 wins in a single season but in the Lakers, then Lin Han could get better skills.

The system often draws or obtains other benefits, and is related to the performance of Lin Han’s team, and also to the history of Lin Han’s team. Undoubtedly, in the NBA history, no team can compare to the Lakers and Celtics, but the Celtics have no interest in Lin Han.

Looking at Lin Han thinking, Sandlin still smiled on the other side. He believed in Lin Han's judgment. Although this little guy was a little more self-centered, he was an extremely sharp person.

"The Lakers, that's the Lakers."

After a moment of contemplation, Lin Han suddenly gritted his teeth and said, and after Lin Han finished speaking, Sandlin also laughed. (To be continued)
