Chapter 1206 Executing Team Options
"You are a very professional general manager, and because you have worked in the Clippers for many years, you are very familiar with the team up and down. This is your advantage, and it is an advantage that others do not have ~! !"

Ballmer left the general manager alone after his first meeting as Clippers owner and spoke to him.

As the saying goes, you don't get rewarded for nothing. Similarly, after Ballmer took office, the general manager who has not made any contribution to the team is of course flattered by such praise.

"But I think the Clippers need a more creative, independent-thinking and aggressive player in order to take the team further and to keep the team in a competitive environment. The general manager of the posture ~!!"

However, the general manager's flattered state did not last long.

Ballmer's sudden remarks made the general manager completely dumbfounded.

"At this stage, I want to change~!!!, so sorry~, I will terminate your contract early and lay you off~!!"

Ballmer looked at the general manager with a very firm tone and a very calm expression, and said.

"It feels like today is April 4~, haha~"

The general manager was dull for a while, still a little flustered, and said.

"I know I'm saying this to you suddenly. You may not be able to bear it. You have poured a lot of effort into the Clippers. The current good prospects of the Clippers are closely related to your operation of the team over the years. It’s really time for the fleet to look forward, and I think, as a professional manager, you know a lot more about some rules in a commercial league like the NBA than I do. Doing some commercial operations, human touch will appear It's not that important anymore~"

Ballmer responded.

"I can understand, and I can tell that you seem to have thought about such a decision. I respect your choice and accept this result~"

The general manager nodded slightly, and responded with a very bitter expression.

"Don't worry, even though you are cut off, I will postpone the payment of your remaining contract, and I will give you no less, this is what you deserve~"

Ballmer reassured.

"Thank you~, thank you Mr. Ballmer, thank you for your honesty, thank you for your support and trust, hope,, hope,, hope that the Clippers will get better and better~"

The general manager can be regarded as a parting message.

Ballmer nodded and stood up. Seeing this, the general manager also stood up. The two shook hands, which became the last moment of intersection between each other.

"Huh~, the world is impermanent~"

After leaving the meeting room, the general manager sighed and sighed.

Perhaps not wanting to say a sad goodbye to his colleagues, the general manager drove away directly.

"What~?!, the general manager was fired~?!, without any warning~?!"

"I don't know what this guy Ballmer is doing, he is really crazy~!"

"Maybe it's not a good thing for Ballmer to replace Sterling~ Sterling doesn't know how to manage the team, but he can find someone who understands to manage it, but it seems that Ballmer is going to directly manage the team ~"

"Yeah, we have an office, but the problem is, how can he, an IT boss, understand the daily operation of a professional football team~"

News of the general manager's dismissal quickly spread within the team.

Many executives in the management also discussed it.

"The dismissal of the general manager is such a big matter that I don't discuss it with anyone. It's a bit disappointing that Ballmer has done this~!!"

"No wonder it was rumored that Ballmer was impeached and retired from Microsoft. Judging from this way of doing things, it is really very possible~"

"Yeah, I didn't expect the former CEO of Microsoft to be a dictator, my God~, the job now suddenly becomes insecure~"

Everyone continued to discuss.

"How could this be~?!, are you sure~?!"

Lan Shengli, who is far away across the ocean, also got news from Taylor.

"It's true, the general manager's office has been emptied now, and it may be that an official announcement will be made in these two days~"

Taylor responded eagerly.

"My God~, I really didn't expect such a thing to happen, why would Ballmer do this~?! No, I want to talk to Ballmer, Taylor, help me contact Ballmer~!!"

Lan Shengli responded eagerly.

"Brother, are you really going to do this~?!, now is a special moment~!!"

Taylor reminded.

"It has to be done. The general manager has helped me a lot in the past few years. Whether it is the first time I come to the team or the second time I return to the team, it has given me a lot of help. Watching him I can't just sit idly by without knowing why he was dismissed~!!, I want to help him get an explanation~!!"

Lan Shengli said something excitedly.

"Okay, okay~, no problem, I promise you, but what I want to remind you is that you are only a team option now, and your situation is more dangerous than the general manager. You speak for him now, I don’t think there will be any good results~!”

Taylor reminded.

"Remember, Taylor, sometimes, for some things, you have to ignore the results~!"

Lan Shengli responded with a firm tone.

"Okay~ I'll give you the phone number of Ballmer's office in a while, don't say I gave it to you, I wish you good luck~ Brother~, I'm still waiting for you to promote me as a teaching assistant~"

Taylor responded.

After hanging up the phone, Taylor quickly sent Lan Shengli a text message.

Lan Shengli didn't even think about it, or Lan Shengli had already figured out what to say, so he dialed the phone directly.

"Hi, Mr. Ballmer, hello, I'm Victory Blue~"

After the call was connected, Lan Shengli immediately "reported his family name".

"Coach Bruce~, I'm very glad that you took the initiative to call me. After I came to the team base, I have seen almost everyone on the team, big and small, but I haven't seen you. Ah~"

Ballmer sighed.

"Sorry, Mr. Ballmer, I'm currently following the Chinese men's basketball team in the Asian Championships, and I can't get away for a short time. Sorry, I can't report to you in person~!!"

Lan Shengli replied.

"It doesn't matter. It can be seen from this incident that you are a patriot. I appreciate this. Humans must have faith to live in this world. Otherwise, what is the difference between you and the orangutans in the zoo?" ~"

Ballmer responded.

"Thank you, Mr. Ballmer, for your understanding, but I called you today not to talk about me, but to close~"

"Wait a minute~!!, before you say something, let me interject~!!"

Ballmer interrupted Lan Shengli and said.

"You said~"

"I have already decided to implement the next year's team option in your contract. Next season, you will still be the head coach of the Clippers~!!!"
