NBA: Duncan feels uneasy coaching Warriors

Chapter 211 Entering the big ball market, the Clippers!

Of course, to say that the Pelicans have a good foundation is actually relatively speaking.

After all, the Hornets are now competing with the Pelicans.

If you really want to say the foundation, the Timberwolves have a good foundation now.

However, Su Chen looked at the lottery conditions.

[In addition to the high-level guarantee draw for the first show and the mid-level guarantee draw for the first win, teams eliminated in the playoffs and evaluated as A-level or above will get one chance for the ordinary lottery draw, and one high-level guarantee draw for winning the championship. Get one chance for ordinary lucky draw. 】

Remarks: If you coach the same team for two consecutive seasons, the general lottery in the playoffs can be upgraded to the elimination of the S-level team, and the 30 consecutive victories in the regular season can be accumulated sequentially.

If you want to coach the Timberwolves next season, if you want to draw a lottery in the regular season, you have to win 30 consecutive victories to be able to draw a lottery.

As for the playoffs, the S-level teams must be eliminated.

Although there are quite a lot of strong teams in the West, there are only two or three S-level teams, and there will be fewer lottery draws in the first place, and then the other S-level teams will lose one more lottery draw if they start playing in advance.

His current ability is enough, but who would dislike too many props and skills?

This season is definitely going to change teams.

To steadily develop and even establish a dynasty in one team, let's save the next team.

Just when Su Chen had already started planning ahead with the Pelicans roster, a call came.

"Is this a call from the Clippers?"

After all, I have been the general manager of the Timberwolves for one season, and I still have notes on the contact information of the top management of each major team.

Su Chen was a little happy when the Clippers called, but he immediately calmed down.

Today's Clippers are different from what they used to be. They got rid of their iron rooster boss and ushered in the wealthy boss Ballmer.

At the same time, sitting in a super city like Los Angeles, the Clippers have a very good prospect, a very standard big ball market.

Not only that, but the team also has star players like Chris Paul and Blake Griffin.

No matter how you think about it, you won't let him mess around with it, right?
"Hello."

But out of politeness, Su Chen still answered the phone.

"Hahaha, Su, your voice is younger than I thought."

There was a burst of hearty laughter from the other end of the phone.

It's not that Su Chen has never dealt with the Clippers. He remembered that the senior executive of the Clippers didn't have such a voice, but this voice made him feel a little familiar.

"Forgot to introduce myself, I'm Ballmer, the new owner of this team"

After Ballmer said hello, he introduced himself.

It was actually a call from the Clippers owner himself!
"Mr. Ballmer, I didn't expect you to call me personally."

Su Chen was a little surprised.

After the two talked for a few words, they got down to business.

Although Ballmer made the phone call in person, which made Su Chen feel very face-saving, but it was business.

He didn't give Jordan any face, and Ballmer couldn't do it if he didn't meet his requirements.

"Do you want to come to Los Angeles to see the team?"

Ballmer said suddenly at this time.

"Mr. Ballmer, I don't know if you have heard of my request?"

Su Chen didn't agree directly because of Ballmer's invitation.

He estimated that Ballmer might delegate some of his rights to him, just like some other big teams have set conditions for his invitation, but that still made Su Chen feel constrained.

If he had accepted that, he might as well have stayed with the Warriors in the first place.

Especially after the Timberwolves enjoyed the feeling of having a lot of power in their hands, Su Chen had no interest in being someone else's second in command.

Besides, it's not that he doesn't want to feel wronged. He has memories about the draft and trades, and is too lazy to talk to others about things that seem outrageous.After arriving in Los Angeles and slowly negotiating these conditions, Su Chen felt very boring and didn't want to go on this trip.

Arriving in Los Angeles and talking about these conditions slowly made Su Chen feel very boring and didn't want to make this trip.

Besides, he is more inclined to agree to the Pelicans. He didn't go to New Orleans first but went to Los Angeles, which inevitably made the Pelicans think.

Even if the owner of the Pelicans has no idea, the players also have ideas.

From their point of view, Su Chen seemed to have failed to negotiate with the Clippers and treated them as backup tires. In fact, Su Chen didn't pay much attention to them at all.

So just to negotiate terms, Su Chen didn't want to go.

"Of course I do."

Ballmer replied with a smile.

"What do you mean by going to Los Angeles?"

Su Chen said suspiciously.

"Of course I came to see your team. Your request is not a problem in my opinion. You have already had a successful manager season with the Timberwolves. Why don't I believe you?"

Ballmer said directly to Su Chen.

Hearing Ballmer's answer, Su Chen was very surprised.

It even took Su Chen a few seconds to react.

It is equivalent to saying that the teams that agreed to all his conditions were not two teams, but three teams.

Hornets, Pelicans, and now there is one more Clippers.

With the emergence of the Clippers, the other two teams seemed uncompetitive.

In terms of team foundation, the Clippers can be called luxurious.

The three core players of Paul, Griffin, and Jordan are very luxurious whether they are used for themselves or traded.

If you want 3D, you need good 3D, and you need substitute firepower and Crawford.

Although the shooter is a happy person, he can just trade it away and exchange for some assets.

In terms of teams, this is a big market team in Los Angeles.

The lure for free agency is strong.

After Leonard was traded to the Raptors and led the Raptors to win the championship, he didn't consider renewing his contract with the Raptors at all, and directly fell into the arms of the Clippers.

Even if the Raptors are begging for help, Leonard will not take a second look at the Raptors. This is the charm of the big ball market.

Let's talk about the boss.

There is no need to question Ballmer's net worth, and he is also very willing to invest in the team. The luxury tax is not a problem at all.

"Okay Mr. Ballmer, I see what you mean, I will come."

Su Chen immediately agreed and prepared to check out the itinerary and flights.

"By the way, I have a personal plane parked in Minnesota. If it is convenient for you, please call this number and ask my people to pick you up."

Ballmer read a number to Suchen.

In the conversation with Ballmer, there is a sense of pride in money.

This is what an NBA owner should look like!

After putting down the phone, Su Chen glanced at the information on the Hornets and Pelicans on the table, feeling a sense of disgust.

Who is Danzi?
Not familiar.

Stay in Charlotte and worry about it.

Which biscuit is New Orleans again?

Go home and make grilled wings.

And that guy with thick eyebrows is said to be the answer to insiders in the small ball era?

Sorry, it's been a long time since the era of ninja ball.
