Chapter 281 The transaction is completed

(I feel dizzy, please give me a monthly ticket, please subscribe, please recommend)

Lakers, Lin Han finally chose the Lakers. From the current point of view, this team is not the best but more balanced, compared to the Trail Blazers, Lin Han can only provide Lin Han with the money needed to form a team and the team's extremely simple pursuit of Lin Han. However, in the same way, the Trail Blazers can not give Lin Han much support besides money. If the Trail Blazers' money is advantageous in front of most of the 27 teams in the league, it is not an advantage in front of the Lakers and the Knicks. Therefore, the only advantage that this team wants to get Lin Han is what the team's head coach Whitcht said, as long as Lin Han is willing to come to the Trail Blazers, the team, from the boss to the staff, from the coach to the players, will follow Lin Han's arrangements, and Lin Han will do whatever he wants, and Lin Han will play whatever he wants.

This team is very sincere in pursuing Lin Han, or the team is very sincere in pursuing Lin Han, which also touched Lin Han very much. However, the reason why he rejected this team in the end is also because of this sincerity. With Lin Han's current influence, he does not have the status of gathering people to follow. Although he is very willing to accept such a team position, that is, the position that everyone in the team revolves around him, now, compared to such a high-ranking position, what Lin Han needs more is a specific plan and a practical and effective team plan. Lin Han is still in the right position now.

Extreme hunger for honors and achievements [In a sense of thirst, he now urgently wants to lay his own position in the league, rather than start to enjoy it after laying the position. Just like Jordan back then, when the Bulls took Collins away, and when they got Fell Jackson, Jordan opposed it. When the Bulls changed Oakley, Jordan also did not support it, but when the team told him that he is not yet making a point of making trouble for the team. When the team has more perfect plans to make his career better, Jordan still accepted the team's planning and arrangements very rationally.

In the end, Fier Jackson and Grant brought the Bulls triangular offense to bring Jordan the first dynasty. Jordan at that time was very similar to Lin Han now. Although both were the first popular star in the league, they did not have enough influence. In this case, compared to the players' own tossing, the team has an excellent management and an excellent development plan, which is more reliable. Of course, Jordan and Lin Han can also give their opinions and express their ideas to the team, but the team must not have only one voice, which is extremely unfavorable to a team.

Therefore, Lin Han really wants the status that the Trail Blazers promised, but Lin Han also knows that he does not have the ability and influence now. If the Trail Blazers are tormented for a few years, it would be a tragedy. Although the team doesn't care about it from top to bottom, everything revolves around him, what Lin Han wants now is a team that can bring him enough honor instead of enjoying his current status. He doesn't have much capital to enjoy such a status now.

Therefore, compared with the supreme status given by the Trail Blazers that Lin Han yearn for, Lin Han now clearly knows that the status given by the Lakers or the Knicks is the most realistic, and they are both the bosses of the team. They have great voice and can participate in the team's decisions. As long as Lin Han is unwilling, the team will not force it to be executed. Although such a status is not as high as the Trail Blazers, it is indeed more suitable for Lin Han's choice now. After all, what is Lin Han's choice?

When he was funny and did something crazy when he was twitching his head. At least there was Jerry West and David Chekts next to him to stop him, and these two people definitely had enough ability to convince Lin Han. Besides, they all said that they would ask Lin Han for any decision to make. In other words, even if Lin Han disagreed, they would not force the decision to be implemented, but would continue to persuade Jordan like the Bulls back then. This is very good.

When Lin Han thought that his ability and status had not reached, a team like Jerry West or David Chekts was there to help him get some points, and he could concentrate on winning honors. This is very good. Although he did not have the supreme status as the Trail Blazers, his status was already extremely high.

As for why he chose the Lakers instead of going to the Knicks, it would be even simpler. Although the Knicks can provide Lin Han with a better team foundation and the team's head coach is also very good, Lin Han now does not trust veterans like Ewing and Malone. Ewing said that as long as Lin Han goes to the Knicks, he will play for Lin Han, as long as he has a nominal team leader status, who knows whether this guy is nonsense, from top to bottom in New York in the Knicks.

I am so confused that the management is all Ewing's people. With Lin Han's current status, even if he changes his words and swallows him directly, Ewing will change his words and say, "Brother, give me another year. As long as you are the second brother for me for a year, I will listen to you in the future. What should Lin Han do when he goes to? Should he get angry or should he swallow his anger? It's not okay to get angry. After all, I just went to New York, as for swallowing his anger, if Lin Han can tolerate it, he will endure it in the Jazz team, and he will still run to New York to endure it?"

Therefore, although Lin Han does not need a supreme position now, he definitely needs a team's only dominant position. This is not what the Knicks can give to Lin Han. The Knicks always need to take care of Ewing's feelings, and Lin Han doesn't believe what Ewing said that he only needs a nominal boss, so the Lakers are the best choice.

The Lakers are not as good as the Trail Blazers, and the strength base of this team is not as good as the Knicks, but in general, it is the only team suitable for Lin Han now. In addition, California is the largest state in the United States, Los Angeles is the second largest city, and the Lakers are one of the teams with the most football kings and quasi-football kings in the team history. This is a good choice whether it is pursuing results and honors, pursuing improvement of one's own strength or pursuing the maximization of commercial value.

"Lin, since you have your own judgment, I can leave now."

After Lin Han made his own choice, Sandlin, the imperial sister, left the next day. However, when the imperial sister, left, she did something that Lin Han didn't know whether to be happy or depressed, because when the elder sister left, she didn't know what she said to Lin Han's elder sister, and actually made Lin Han, who had never thought of leaving McDonald's, promised her to be the head of Lin Han's agent team.

Lin Han promised to be an assistant to Lin Han, which was naturally something that made Lin Han happy. After all, this made Lin Han very happy to see his elder sister often, but it was obvious. If Lin Han was willing to let his sister enter this extremely dark circle, he would have done this long ago. Although Lin Han was unwilling, if Lin Han insisted, she agreed with her love for Lin Han. However, as Sandlin said, Lin Han didn't need to do too much, just study in the team, and the real deal was the group of top students from the Ivy League schools she brought. So this made Lin Han feel much more at ease. In addition, Sandlin's Royal Sister also said that she intended to let Lin Han take over her position in Miracle Company Ceo in the future, and now we will train Lin Han for a few years.

It can be seen that although this female lady who is only 31 or 2 years old is not very old, she has a very ambitious ambition. The CEO of a small Adidas subsidiary cannot satisfy her ambitions. Her ambitions are a step further, such as joining the Adidas Board as chairman.

As the major shareholder who owns 50% of the shares, Lin Han really needs someone who is very trustworthy to take over Miracle Company, and Lin Han is naturally the best choice. Even if Lin Han doesn't learn well in the future, he will at least be a vice president and help Lin Han take care of it. However, Sandlin seems to be optimistic about Lin Han's learning ability.

Of course, in addition to making arrangements for Lin Han, this departing sister even made arrangements for Lin Han’s other family members. For example, Lin Yu, who is in high school, Sandlin had already asked someone to arrange her transfer matters. Even Lin Han’s second sister Lin Wei, she arranged this second-year student at the University of Utah.

Although Lin Han doesn't want to complain about her second sister, although Lin Han's elder sister is a top student, Lin Wei is not a top student. When she went to school with Lin Han, if Lin Han hadn't been too distracted by the death of her parents, Lin Wei wouldn't have been able to get into the University of Utah, a school outside the United States, which is one hundred outside the United States. In the United States, if a Chinese who is hard-working student fails to get into the top 30 prestigious school in the United States, he would be embarrassed to say that he is the first generation of immigrant Chinese. Like Sister Lin Han, he is a pretty Ivy League school. Even Lin Han's younger sister can at least enter a school with more than 30 titles like Wake Forest.

So, in Lin Han's mind, compared to her perfect elder sister who looks like a goddess, Lin Wei is actually a little blurry, but her head is actually a little muddy. Yes, of course, this complaint can only be expressed in Lin Han's heart and cannot be said explicitly. In this case, Lin Han didn't think that her second sister could learn anything at the University of Utah Business School. She was probably not the material. So, when Lin Wei happily told Lin Han that Sandlin's Royal Sister arranged her to the University of Southern California, Lin Han was speechless. The University of Southern California is about 20th in the United States and is very famous among private schools in the United States. Although in the United States, many private schools can enter if they have money, it would be difficult for a level of Southern California to transfer without connections and throw money.

Although it is easy to transfer to a private university, especially the threshold for transferring to a private university is not high. This is an easy-to-go school environment, but the University of Southern California is the oldest private university after all, which is different from ordinary ones. So when Lin Han asked this royal sister how much it would cost, the royal sister didn't say it.

"Don't worry, I don't need to thank me so much"

In the end, Lin Han was almost angrily amused by the words of this royal sister. It seemed that the money spent by this royal sister was still the dividend he had not received yet, but this also made Lin Han feel a little more at ease. No matter how much money he spent, he finally spent his own money. Otherwise, if it was really the money given to him by this royal sister, Lin Han would really not know how to repay him and sacrifice himself for the tiger? Lin Han thought, but this royal sister was already married.

Of course, Sandline hurriedly left and went to Los Angeles early, which was definitely not just a simple matter for Lin Han’s family. Because Lin Han’s previous team was the Jazz, Adidas’ biggest promotion to Lin Han was in Salt Lake City and Utah, as well as Europe and Asia. As for other parts of the United States, New York and Los Angeles have a large proportion, but they are just better than other places. Now, since Lin Han has decided to go to the Lakers, then the market in Los Angeles and California needs to be laid out!

After all, Los Angeles has a population of four million in metropolitan areas, and the total population of California is close to 40 million. Even California cannot do as many as Utah as each family has at least one pair of Linhan’s sneakers. However, as long as there are 10 families, there will be one pair of Linhan’s sneakers, and Linhan’s sneakers can be sold for more than 1 million pairs in California. With the effect of Linhan’s trip to Los Angeles and Lakers, how can it only sell 1 million pairs?

Of course, Sandlin is preparing to go to Los Angeles to plan for Lin Han’s sneakers sales in advance. As long as the operation is done properly, Lin Han’s Miracle Generation’s sales will add up to 1 million pairs of sales. Then Lin Han’s Miracle Generation’s global sales will reach 6 million pairs. Although this number is only similar to Jordan’s fourth generation, it is already very powerful. Even if it is not as good as Jordan, it is already at the same level as Jordan! At least, the most popular player named James in the future, the maximum sales of his sneakers is only 300 million, while Jordan, who has retired for n years, has a sales volume of 2.3 billion in sneakers per year. Jordan only had 4% of the sales dividend at that time, and he could earn more than 90 million in a year. This is just that the efficiency of Jordan’s signature sneakers is not the efficiency of all sneakers in Jordan brand.

It can be seen that when the brand Jordan stands firmly in the market, even if Jordan retires, the league's number one star in the future will not be able to compare with Jordan in terms of influence. So if Lin Han wants to get a piece of the pie from here, he will never wait until the whole United States wears Jordan and the whole world wears Jordan, and then he will compete. By then it will be too late.

It has to be said that Jordan's retirement did give Lin Han a chance, and Lin Han also seized this opportunity and competed with Jordan's brand at least 4 to 6 in the sneaker market.

Of course, at this time, the royal sister who left in a hurry did not think about whether the Los Angeles Lakers had the capital to really trade Lin Han to the Lakers. Although she was familiar with the NBA, she was not an extremely proficient expert. However, what this royal sister said to Lin Han when she left made Lin Han very much agree.

"If Jerry West cannot meet the Jazz's requirements under such circumstances, then he will not deserve the title of the best general manager in the league and the godfather of the Lakers."

Sandline's Royal Sister was full of confidence in Jerry West. But was Jerry West really that relaxed at this time?

Or are the requirements of the Utah Jazz really that low?

Of course not. After Lin Han notified the team of his choice, the Jazz did postpone all other requests to seek trade with Lin Han as promised to Lin Han. They were just negotiating with the Lakers.

Similarly, the conditions they put forward for the Lakers are indeed not high. At least in Jerry West's opinion, although it is not that easy to deal with, it is definitely not so pitiful.

At least it is better than Jerry West imagined, but even if it is better, it is not so easy to complete the Jazz's requirements first.

"Jerry, is it really good to send most of the teams out for Lin Han?"

In the hotel where Jerry West was staying, Jerry West was really holding a list in his hand, and Jim Bass, who followed him to practice this time, asked with some certainty.

Since last season, Jerry Bass saw Lin Han meet Xiao Tian Gou, Jerry West and Magic are the godfathers of the team and the greatest player in the team's history praised Lin Han and hoped to introduce Lin Han.

As the Lakers' meritorious boss, Jerry Bass is a very dignified person, but no matter how dignified a person is, it is difficult to tolerate the team belonging to Jerry West's group from top to bottom. You should know, in the NBA, who doesn't know such a sentence.

"It's never been Jerry West, and I don't know that the Lakers have-"

-What does it mean? All decision makers mean, that is, the whole world only knows that the Lakers are Jerry West. As for other decision makers, including the team's boss, operations director, head coach or team boss, we don't know.

The league's statement is the biggest compliment to a team's general manager. A general manager reaches Jerry West's level, making the whole world know that only he can make decisions. Everyone else stands, including the team's boss. Such rights are really equivalent to the regent in ancient China.

Old Bass doesn't care about this outstanding regent. After all, they have been working together for 15 years, and it's time for him to retire. If Jerry West hadn't built the Lakers dynasty and reshaped the label of the Purple Gold Noble, the Lakers would have been like that, so Jerry West had such a status, and he also acquiesced. In his dynasty, he allowed Jerry West to have such a status, but Old Bass had the ability to allow his dynasty to have a regent, which did not mean that Old Bass also agreed to Jerry West to continue to regent his son, and then his family was regent by Jerry West. How could this be allowed?

But now, the Lakers are all Jerry West from top to bottom. Even if Old Bass wants to do anything, he can only find his second son who is still playing non-mainstream and let him come to the team to be Jerry West's secretary.

Of course, besides the eldest brother took over most of the family's industries, Buss Jr. was willing to take over the Lakers, but he was not a fool. He also knew that without Jerry West's consent, he would not be able to take over the team, not to mention that he would take over the team or his father would not be able to take over.

So although he just came back to serve as secretary for Jerry West. As the team's future successor, it seems a bit embarrassing, but there is no way. Who made the Lakers beside the ironclad by Jerry West? Even his father couldn't get in. Jerry West agreed to the team's poaching Lin Han. Although Old Bass was a little hesitant, the Lakers eventually overwhelmed the boss and made a decision.

“It’s worth it even if we give away a whole team for him.”

Looking at the team's future boss, Jerry West smiled and said that although he was the team's regent and the actual highest decision-maker. However, because Old Bass really respected him very much, Jerry West was still very concerned about cultivating the team's future successor. He never thought about how Old Bass or Jerry Buss would do to him.

Of course, Buss was really extremely afraid of Jerry West at this time. After Jerry West smiled and explained, he stopped talking.

The Jazz's request did not make things difficult for the Lakers, which made Jerry West very happy. After all, he didn't expect to get Lin Han at this time. What he thought of was that Lin Han got Lin Han when his contract expired in 1996, and he was even making arrangements for Lin Han in 1996. Now, this is definitely a matter of happiness coming too suddenly. Also because it came too suddenly, many of his layouts could not be developed.

So, in this case, the Jazz's requirements are indeed not very high.

The Lakers have not required to give lottery picks or top three picks. After all, in the current league, the salary of rookies is not easy to lose, especially the salary of lottery players is even higher than that of many superstars. Even if Glen Johnson, Grant Hill or Kidd doesn't dislike the Jazz being a small place and is willing to be the third place here, can the Jazz afford the price of these three? Even at this time, there are rumors that Glen Johnson is preparing to ask for a 10-year, $100 million contract, and Kidd is also preparing to ask for a 9-year, 60 million contract. Even if Grant Hill has not spoken through his agent, it is not worth it. Malone is still paying more than 3 million yuan now. How can the Jazz afford these three rookies with superstar potential or other rookies with superstar potential?

If you are an ordinary All-Star rookie, although the salary will not be higher than Hill and the Jazz can afford it, the key is whether these guys will continue to stay in the Jazz after being trained. The Bru Edwards incident has only been a year. Therefore, the Jazz are not as good as trading some singles-years-old All-Star strength but very hungry for the championship. [Thirsty veterans, such players can fight when they come, such as Jeff Malone before, and there are not as many pursuits as young people for big cities or flower worlds. Therefore, the Jazz did not ask the Lakers for lottery picks. Although there are draft picks, they are all in the middle.

But even some ordinary All-Star players, the Jazz are not bad, such as Hornersek of the 76ers and Ricky Pierce of the Supersonics. Both of them are All-Star players. Hornersek of the Jazz were the focus of the Jazz's players in the 76ers last season. This shooting guard who can break through, hold the ball, throw three-pointers and defend, is very suitable for the Jazz's current style of play, and Ricky Pierce is also an All-Star player, the best sixth man winner in the league. If it were last season, Ricky Pierce of the Jazz would not even think about it. The Supersonics could not trade him. But now, the biggest culprit of the Supersonics being Black Seven has been put on the shelves by the Supersonics. It's just that the Jazz don't want to give Elliott or Russell, and they don't have chips to get him.

One of these two people was to make up for the tactical value of Lin Han's departure, and the other was to prevent unexpected accidents. When Horacek was not suitable for the team, Elliott started on the top and asked Ricky Pierce to replace Elliott as a substitute.

So Jerry West can understand that the Jazz wanted these two, and these two All-Star players are indeed very suitable for the Jazz. But one of the other players made him speechless.

The Jazz actually want him to get Bru Edwards back!

After Bru Edwards went to the Bucks last season, his performance in the first year was amazing. He averaged 17 points per game, had a good offense and active defense. Although the Bucks' record was not very good, Edwards was really eye-catching, giving Bucks fans a sense of the kid's material for a star.

And this season, when the former Jazz player gained a foothold in the team, he was a little relaxed and let go. The defense was not so active, giving people a feeling of not working hard, which made the Bucks instantly feel like they had a five-year, 9.5 million contract was wasted.

Although the Bucks are weak, they don’t want to keep such a player, so they are naturally seeking to trade him. It’s obvious that although Edwards is young, as long as he has a criminal record of not working hard, few teams are willing to take over such a garbage contract. Why do the Jazz want him?

Either this guy kneels down to his old club and admits his mistake. He hopes to change his mind and let the team see that he was the one who used to save him from the Bucks. In addition to the Jazz's fondness, he agrees, and besides this possibility, it's the Jazz's evil taste, and is ready to capture the guy who brought the biggest shame to the team back to the team to re-train. But no matter which possibility, since the Jazz wants it, Jerry West can't refuse to give it.

These three are the players the Jazz are most interested in. Although there are some difficulties, these people are not non-selling products. It can be said that Jerry West can still do it. If you really can't do it, aren't there any alternatives in the future?

It can be said that the Jazz didn't have many requirements. As long as Jerry West filled the vacancy that Lin Han left as required, that would be fine. He never thought about killing the Lakers.

Moreover, in recent times, the general managers of most teams in the league have been in Salt Lake City. After Jerry West took action, it was really fast just in terms of action.

Without letting the Jazz wait, Jerry West completed the task assigned by the Jazz on June 26 alone. That night, the Jazz and Lakers' transaction application for Lin Han was sent to David Stern's table!

Recently, the Jazz's dealing with Lin Han has been disturbed throughout the United States, and many Jazz fans were so angry that they were furious. In addition to these Jazz fans, David Stern is the one in the world who cares about this matter the most. He even wants to interfere in this deal with Lin Han himself more than once, but in the end the league's president still held back.

Fortunately, the development of the matter did not embarrass him too much. Even the president of the league had thought that if the Jazz dared to wear Lin Han, then he would not mind to wear small shoes for the Jazz directly. As for what behavior is considered to be the behavior of wearing small shoes for Lin Han? Naturally, the Jazz traded Lin Han to another small city in order to strengthen their team regardless of Lin Han's feelings or the interests of the league.

This is something that cannot be tolerated. As long as the Jazz dares to do this, he will directly reject the deal. So yesterday when he saw from the news that the Kings wanted to exchange Riccimond for Lin Han, the Pistons wanted to exchange this year's No. 3 draft pick for Lin Han, and even the Mavericks even gave the Jazz the second pick in exchange for Lin Han, and Jim Jackson and Marshburn, the Jazz would choose any of them. If the Jazz were willing to send Eelliot and Russell, even the Mavericks could send them out.

The president of the league has been browsing, preparing to see how the Jazz chooses. Fortunately, the team seems to be very clear about the positioning of their team, and has not done anything that makes David Stern laugh at.

Today, when the Jazz, Lakers and several other teams' deal applications for Lin Han were delivered to him, the league president also smiled.

Six-party transactions, in NBA, generally speaking, such transactions are difficult to operate. There are too many teams involved. There are too many teams to meet the requirements of each team. There is no such transaction in the history of NBA. No such transaction is involved in the number of teams or the number of players this time.

However, David Stern now ignored the number and number of people in this transaction. He just saw the Jazz sending Lin Han to the Lakers, so he directly agreed to the transaction. As for whether there are problems in the transaction? If there are really details in the transaction, it is impossible to send it to his office. Since it has been sent here, it is waiting for him to make the final decision.

"But, this guy is really courageous and capable."

Looking at the string of names given by the Lakers on this transaction, David Stern smiled secretly in his heart.

And when David Stern agreed to the transaction content of Lin Han by the Jazz and Lakers.

Not long after, almost all major media in the United States were involved in this matter in the early morning of the next day!

"A shocking deal, Lin Han is coming to Los Angeles?! The Los Angeles Lakers sent 7 players including Divac for the MVP of the New Co Finals!"

"Hornersek, Steve Smith joins the Jazz, Lin Han exchanges the Jazz for 4 players and 3 first-round draft picks!"

"Devac took over the Heat, and the strongest double guns in the East were disbanded!"

When almost all the American media were reporting crazy about Lin Han's deal between the Jazz and the Lakers, Lin Han was at Lin Han's home in Salt Lake City. When Lin Han held the Los Angeles Times in his hand and looked at the details about the transaction, Lin Han smiled bitterly.

"Are you finally leaving?" (To be continued)
