Stern said this to Bruce on the surface, but in fact he was already considering the effect of this operation in private.

It can be said that as long as George Shinn sells the team to New Orleans people, the Hornets will definitely move to New Orleans.

So here comes the problem. If Jordan wants to build a team, the time will be delayed.

There is no way that as soon as the Hornets withdraw, Jordan will immediately join Charlotte to build a team. That is not the case. We need to give the fans some buffering time.

Stern's mind has been thinking about how to operate safely.

Bruce on the other side didn't care whether Stern was wandering into outer space or not. He took the initiative to seek refuge with Stern this time. He still had something to tell Stern, lest the dictator feel that he was cheating him.

"Mr. President, I have a few things to tell you in advance. Have you brought the Suxiao Jiuxin Pills?!" Bruce said with a slight smile.

"What's going on?!" Stern immediately became serious.

Every time he sees Bruce with such an expression, he knows that nothing good is going to happen. Either he is trying to trick himself, or he is trying to trick others. In short, Bruce's smile is too insidious!

It's boring. Originally, Bruce was thinking about asking Stern, for example, Mr. President, I have good news and bad news. You have to listen to the one first. But that's not possible, because they are not the same thing.

It can be explained clearly.

"It's like this. I'm going to trade Kobe. When the time comes, several teams will be involved in the trade. I estimate that the nature of this transaction is very large, so I'll let you know in advance." Bruce shrugged.

There is nothing we can do, Bruce has to say, because the transaction needs to be approved by the league. If Stern doesn't approve, it will be embarrassing!

Although Stern in his previous life vetoed the case of Paul being traded to the Lakers, if he did not say hello to Stern, Bruce believed that Stern would definitely hold a grudge against him.

Because of the nature of this deal involving Kobe Bryant, the main reason is that the players involved are not ordinary players, many are former All-Star players and many high-quality potential stocks.

Once this deal comes out, I believe it will shock the entire United States. I am afraid it will be ranked No. 1 in NBA transaction history!

Think about it, Kobe and Iverson are both going to be traded, and former All-Star players like Payton, Eddie Jones, and Glen Rice are also included, and you know how shocking this deal is.

It was obviously impossible not to tell Stern in advance whether this was possible.

Stern will definitely allow the trade, but he cannot allow so many stars to be traded together, so Bruce still needs to talk about the matter upfront.

"What, you want to trade Kobe?! Why?!" Stern was shocked.

You must know that Kobe is equivalent to the king in New York. You, Bruce, have not been squeezed by the door, but you want to trade Kobe. What is going on?!

"There is no way, I don't want to trade Kobe, but Kobe's heart is no longer in New York..."

From the next moment, Bruce copied the words given to him by Kobe's agent. Anyway, I am not active in one sentence, everything is passive. If you always want to blame, blame the Lakers. I will not take the blame.

As soon as Stern heard Bruce's words, he knew it was pure nonsense. Kobe was so rich now, wouldn't it be the same if he arranged for his wife to move to New York? Why did he have to go to the West Coast?!

Of course, Stern couldn't say this clearly, because he knew that Bruce was not stupid. As long as he said that he wanted to trade Kobe, it meant that Kobe had absolutely no retreat in New York and had to leave. Bruce told him that he completely belonged to

Just let me know in advance.

"A lot of players are involved?!" Stern asked the question in his mind.

"Well, there are indeed quite a few. There are probably a few former All-Stars in there!" Bruce replied calmly.

Bruce will not say that Iverson is also involved in this deal. If he does, he will completely show off to Stern that he is secretly manipulating the Sonics. Bruce is not that stupid!

So he only said that he included several former All-Stars. In this way, Stern would definitely feel relieved. It wouldn't be too much of a loss to exchange a future superstar for several former All-Stars or even draft picks.

.

As long as the price of the transaction matches, Stern will never veto it.

He believes that this deal will definitely shock the entire United States when it comes out, because everyone is watching the deal involving so many players!

"Okay, I understand, do you have anything else to do?!" Stern asked, rubbing his head.

"Oh, also, just after the meeting, Mark Cuban found me. He wanted to make a deal with me using Chinese players Hu Weidong and Wang Zhizhi in exchange for German Dirk Nowitzki!" Bruce is still so unhappy!

He replied hastily.

"What?! No, I won't agree to this deal. Just kidding, Yao has already been selected by you. If Mark sends Hu and Wang to the Han team, won't this become the Chinese national team?! No, I'm determined

I disagree!" Stern rejected it without thinking.

He was just playing the piano randomly. He knew that Bruce was not a good bird. Look at all the things he did in New York. He first sent Kobe away and then turned the NBA team into the Chinese national team. What the heck?

, this is an American professional team, we can’t let you Bruce play like this.

If everyone does this, it is inevitable that players from other countries will not be on the same team together in the future to form the national team lineup. Bruce is provoking himself and the entire league!

Stern's idea at this moment was that Bruce sent Kobe away just to gather Chinese players to form the national team.

Now Stern is increasingly doubting the possibility of Bruce doing this!

The conscience of heaven and earth, there really is no such thing!

Bruce knew the reason for Stern's excitement. It was indeed a bit outrageous. There were actually three overseas players from the same country in one team. If Hu Weidong and Wang Zhizhi both started, wouldn't it become the Chinese men's basketball team?!

Not only Stern will object, I believe all the bosses in the league will oppose such an operation.

These Bruces already knew there would be such an outcome after reaching an agreement with Cuban, but well, there are policies and countermeasures.

"Mr. President, please calm down first and trade Hu Weidong and Wang Zhizhi. I am not planning to let them start. I can promise that only Dayao will be the starting player for the Han people in the new season. Hu Weidong and Wang Zhizhi will not play with Dayao...

..." Bruce explained.

He really has no intention of letting Hu Weidong and Wang Zhizhi start, because Hu Weidong has entered the end of his career. In addition, he suffered injuries last season. It is still unknown how many years he can last in the NBA. It would be too difficult for Hu Weidong to be a starter.
