Just this sentence, do you Michael Jordan have money to buy the Hornets? Michael Jordan suddenly became embarrassed.

Indeed, he himself thinks he can't afford to buy the Hornets. No matter now or in the future, he can't afford to buy an NBA team without eating or drinking from now on!

The Eastern team is a little better, but the price is indeed not expensive, but that is just because the atmosphere of the Eastern team is much smaller, that is, metropolis like New York and Boston are supporting the scene. On the other hand, the West is different. Not to mention the distance, let’s talk about San Francisco where the Warriors are located, Seattle where the Supersonics are located, and Dallas where the Mavericks are located. If you want to buy it, you will definitely start with 100 million yuan. This is the gap.

If a city like Charlotte dies, it will be almost 100 million before the new century, but even so, I don’t have the money.

What should I do? The only way is to find a consortium to buy the team with you, and then occupy some shares in the team. As for the team's power, it will undoubtedly depend on who has more shares.

In this way, Michael Jordan really doesn't want to do this. If he wants to invest, he can find teams from other big cities to invest at any time. At least he can make a lot of money by selling equity after appreciation. But Michael Jordan is full of ambitions now. It can be said that if he does not have the right to manage the team, it is best not to say anything else.

"This is not yet. Am I not retiring yet? Maybe it will happen when I retire!"

It should be almost the same. That little guy Bruce is not fooling me. If that bastard Bruce dares to fool me, I will have to kill him...

If you choose to retire and still cannot become the boss of the team, then you won’t cry to death!

Bruce, you, a cheater, have caused me a lot!

"Retired?! Michael, don't tell me that you are ready to retire after playing this season!"

How big is the impact of Michael Jordan's retirement last year? It can be said that he is unprecedented and has no future.

Within 24 hours after the news of Michael Jordan's retirement, the Jones Comprehensive Index of America (commonly known as the stock price) fell by 125 points in an instant, and the stock price of NIKE, which has a deep cooperation with Michael Jordan, plummeted by 4%. Not only that, Michael Jordan's retirement is likely to directly cause losses of up to $1 billion in Chicago, and the indirect losses caused by it reached a sky-high price of $1 billion. You should know that prices in the 1990s were not that high, and such high losses were enough to put any city in bankruptcy. The same NBA not only suffered heavy losses in profits, but also affected the league's future development pattern.

Brother, you played it once last year, and now you are here again. I am old and can’t stand such stimulation, okay?!

This is a big deal. In order to make Michael Jordan change his mind, God knows how disgrace he was when he went to Chicago to ask Michael Jordan to renew the contract with the Bulls last year, but it was impossible not to renew the contract with the Bulls. At that time, all the focus of the United States was on the Bulls and Michael Jordan, so this was also the reason why he came to the door in person before he let it go.

So Stern is now particularly "sensitive" to Michael Jordan, and is afraid that Michael Jordan will go crazy and choose to retire again, so he can no longer afford such a blow.

“NONONO…”

"I will not retire for the time being. I am also planning to renew the Bulls for another year. Of course, the conditions still have to increase the price last year. It depends on how sincere Jerry Reinsdorf is!"

Retirement is obviously impossible. At least he has no such plan in the past or two years. He has to leave with Phil Jackson so that he can hit Jerry Reinsdorf and Jerry Klaus!

Michael Jordan can now imagine what Chicago will become when he and Phil Jackson leave in two years. It’s interesting to think about it, right?

"It's good if you don't retire, it's good if you don't retire..." Stern murmured.

He was afraid that Michael Jordan would talk to him about retirement. Although he knew that such a day might come, if Michael Jordan had retired a year later, the league would have gained a lot of money from him.

...

The waiter in the restaurant finally served all the dishes they ordered. Of course, Stern and Michael Jordan were both hungry and pressed their chests on their backs. After the waiter left, they also started to eat and chat while eating.

"Michael, tell me honestly who told you this, and who asked you to come to me?"

If there is no one behind Michael Jordan, he won’t believe it. He still knows what Michael Jordan is like these years. He either plays basketball or goes to casinos to gamble. When did Michael Jordan do serious business!

Now I suddenly came out and wanted to buy the Hornets. If there was no one behind me, how could it be possible? I think I was Alzheimer's disease!

"This, this..."

Stern is still a very smart person after all, and now he is stumped!

Should I betray Bruce? If Stern doesn't give a fairly reasonable explanation, maybe Stern will let the Hornets leave Charlotte, which is obviously something he doesn't want to see.

But if I didn't betray Bruce, I would go there and find someone to impersonate him!

It is important to betray Bruce in exchange for Stern's trust, or to just say that a non-existent person is to fool Stern. At this time, Michael Jordan was in a dilemma.

"Bruce, was it what Bruce told me?!"

There is no way. If Stern hadn't been in charge of the league, then Michael Jordan wouldn't have betrayed Bruce. The reason is very simple. Do you think Stern is an idiot? Any character can be a place of elegance. Investors or consortiums without any brains can't get Stern's eyes at all.

If Stern revealed the scene, it would be hard to buy a Wasp in a few years. It would be strange if Stern left a bad impression on him and left you with a wasp in Charlotte.

In addition to attracting some fans with North Carolina, Charlotte has no other value in making use of it. Moving out of Charlotte just happened to solve this problem. What the NBA needs is the atmosphere, and Charlotte's atmosphere is too small.

Besides, it is not a bad thing for the Hornets to move out of Charlotte. Just like the Cleveland Cavaliers, they are all small places. Who would be willing to play in that kind of small place? People go to high places and water flows to low places. Those players are not willing to play in such small places all the time, right? Moving to other big cities may even attract players and fans!

If possible, Stern actually did not object to the owners of those small teams moving the team to big cities, of course, this also includes George Sinn's Hornets. In fact, he only disgusted George Sinn, and he was still happy to see the Hornets moving away from Charlotte.

"Bruce... Michael, did you mean Bruce told you to buy the Hornets?"

"What else did he say to you?!"

As soon as Stern heard Bruce's name, his face immediately became serious.

And he also showed a little vigilance towards Michael Jordan.
