Chapter 314 Time Magazine: He is the most profitable athlete!
This season, the Knicks' salaries add up to 9000 million, which is far more than the luxury tax. Next season, unless James Dolan bites his teeth and pays a large sum of luxury tax, otherwise this lineup will not be able to maintain at all.

Donny Walsh is reckoning with James Dolan: "Martin can be traded next season, which can save 1000 million in space.

比卢普斯目前还有两年的合同，其中这个赛季他将有1315万美元，而11-12赛季本有1420万美元，但我们有权在2011年6月20日之前以370万美元将其买断，这样又可以省下来1000万。”

James Dolan lowered his eyes and listened to Donny Walsh's calculations. When he heard this, he raised his head and said, "Billups can't go. His strength is what we need. Jamilin is too young to take on the heavy responsibility." .”

Donnie Walsh said anxiously: "Then we will have to pay at least 4000 million US dollars in luxury tax next season!"

James Dolan smiled and said: "If we can win the championship this season, I won't blink an eye if we pay 5000 million next season. The key now is to sign Gatsby's contract. Have you communicated with Gatsby?" Have you passed?"

Donnie Walsh felt a little guilty: "I talked to him, but he seems unwilling to sign a long-term contract."

James Dolan wondered: "Why is he unwilling to sign a long-term contract?"

Donnie Walsh shook his head and said: "I don't know the specific reason, but he is very clear that he is only willing to sign a 1+1 contract, and the second year is a player option, and he needs the right to veto transactions."

James Dolan thought for a while and said: "No, the right to veto the transaction can be given, but this contract is too short, and it must be signed for at least five years. We cannot let such a player go."

Donny Walsh said with a wry smile: "Gatsby is a player with a big heart. I can see that he doesn't care much about money. Did you know that he invested in Uber? He has 20% of Uber's shares."

James Dolan was surprised: "Is it the Uber that is now valued at more than 100 billion?"

Donnie Walsh smiled bitterly and nodded: "Yes, he holds 20% of the shares. If he is willing to sell, it is estimated that if it sells for 20 billion US dollars, many people will rush to grab it. But with Uber's current development momentum, who is willing to take it out?" Sell.”

James Dolan took a breath. Damn it, Gatsby's net worth is already half of his, and it's still increasing rapidly. With Uber's momentum, Gatsby's net worth will probably surpass his own by next year. How can such a player negotiate a contract?
Hey, Gatsby, I’ll give you 2000 million a year, and you’ll sign for five years, right?
Stop being funny.

James Dolan scratched his head, not knowing what to say, and sat down with Donny Walsh speechless, and finally James Dolan said: "Forget it, that's it, since Gatsby is not short of money, he is not short of money." He may be poached by other teams with money. I can see it. What he wants is honor and a championship. As long as the Knicks can maintain their strength, he will definitely stay. You can ask Gatsby about Martin. Billups' contract can also be asked privately, since he is not for money, then he will always be interested in these rights, right?"

Donnie Walsh doesn't care. After being suppressed by Gatsby before, he has long understood that he can just quietly make a fortune in the Knicks. If the team can win a few more championships, his reputation will increase. The bigger he is, he can find a job at any time even if he is not in the Knicks. If there is a falling out, he will be the one who suffers. Then this great situation will be taken away by that villain Isaiah, so thank you!

Gatsby scored 72 points at Staples, becoming the sixth person in the history of the 70-point club, and also the youngest 70-point winner. Only Kobe Bryant can beat him in active service, and the others are now in the limelight. No one can surpass him in the strongest class of 03.

Gatsby has become one of the league's superstars!

On January 2011, 1, the US "Forbes" announced the 4 income list of global athletes. Wade ranked No. 2010 with $2620 million, Howard ranked 20 with $2760 million, and LeBron James ranked fourth. It is 20 million U.S. dollars. Kobe ranks third with an income of 4800 million U.S. dollars. Tiger Woods, who plays golf, ranks second with 5300 million U.S. dollars. Gatsby ranks first with an estimated net worth of 7500 billion U.S. dollars. Including the valuation of THE GREAT GATSBY brand, which Gatsby collaborated with Under Armor, and Uber’s shares!
In fact, this list is not very rigorous, because other players only count salary income and advertising income, but Gatsby’s includes investment income, but this is indeed Gatsby’s income in 2010. There is nothing wrong with including it, because it is also part of advertising. Although Gatsby invested US$1000 million, he is still the spokesperson of Uber. This is considered endorsement income!
This list shocked the entire league, as well as the world's sports and financial circles. Gatsby surpassed Jordan to become the world's richest athlete. Michael Jordan's net worth this year is only 10 billion US dollars, while Gatsby is Jordan's triple!
Gatsby appeared on the cover of Time Magazine. The cover title was: The Great Gatsby. The article said: Gatsby is the most profitable athlete in the world!
Union Office.

"Bang bang!" Stern frowned, who was so rude.

Before he could call to come in, the door was knocked open. Stern looked at the panting Xiao Hua angrily, staring coldly at Xiao Hua without speaking.

Regardless of Stern's angry expression, Xiao Hua directly poked a book under Stern's nose: "David, read it quickly!"

Stern snatched the book angrily, put on his glasses and looked at it, his anger disappeared, and he almost danced.

"This Gatsby is really a great Gatsby! Amazing, really amazing! Even if he doesn't play in the NBA, he is probably one of the best when he goes to Wall Street. Haha, I don't think anyone is talking about NBA players now. They are all a group of athletes who don’t know how to manage money, and there are athletes like Gatsby who have a sharp investment vision, hahahaha!” Stern laughed happily.

Xiao Hua was a little serious, he said: "David, I think we should not be so happy, Gatsby is so rich, look, will he stay in the NBA?" "

David Stern's smile gradually disappeared. Yes, a rich man with a net worth of 30 billion, why should he work so hard? He has to play 82 regular season games, 7 preseason games, and maybe more than a dozen playoff games a year. Stern knows how hard it is for NBA players. They have to train every day and eat in moderation. Young people have so much money, why don't they enjoy the good time and play basketball instead?
