The Point Guard is Here

The details of the contract that Elgin Baylor negotiated with the Warriors were Poole Richardson plus Lamond Murray in exchange for Chris Mullin plus a first-round lottery-protected pick in '98.

In addition, there are two transactions, one with the Portland Trail Blazers and one with the Boston Celtics.

This deal with the Boston Celtics is a bit special.

They came to me on their own initiative.

This man is called Rick Fox. He is a white forward with Mexican descent. He is a good 3D player with a high court IQ and a very hard-working style of play on the court.

To be honest, Fan Xi didn't take this handsome guy who came to him seriously at first, until he showed himself the video of him in Celtic.

After Fan Xi saw it, he felt that it was very good and very suitable for the No. 3 player in his mind. And inexplicably, I felt that this guy looked familiar, and I felt like I had seen him somewhere before.

This guy has a very strange identity. He is an NBA player and an actor. He hangs out in Hollywood and often gets some small roles in the offseason.

When he was chatting with Fan Xi, he expressed his admiration for Fan Xi. "...Jack, I dream of having your fame in Hollywood. If I have your fame, I can play the leading actor in any A-level or even S-level production at any time. That's why I'm looking for Your reason, I have to bring my talents to Los Angeles and I can’t wait a moment longer.”

Rick Fox's willpower is very strong, he just wants to return to Los Angeles, and he wants to be with Fan Xi.

He also frankly told Fan Xi that his original goal was the Los Angeles Lakers. He originally wanted to finish the season and join the Lakers at a low salary.

However, with Fanci joining the Los Angeles Clippers and Madonna becoming the team owner, he couldn't wait.

He couldn't wait any longer.

Fanshie said the trade was not a matter between the players.

Then he promised to take care of the Boston front office.

Three days later, I don't know what method he used, whether it was messy or something else, to force the Boston Celtics to contact the Clippers.

This makes things easier.

Elgin Baylor traded junior point guard Trid Ega to Boston for center Stanley Roberts, who had been selected to the All-Rookie Team.

Boston paid Rick Fox and Greg Miner plus a protected first-round lottery pick in '97.

Basically, once this deal is reached, the Clippers will directly give up Greg's contract and reach a buyout with him.

The Clippers don't need nobody.

Soldiers are more skilled than many.

This is what Fan Xi said.

Another deal was proposed by Fan Xi. He has a deep memory of Trail Blazers shooting guard Aaron McGee. Aaron McGee is a very good defensive player. He was deeply impressed by him when they played against him twice last season.

The Clippers want to gain a foothold in the playoffs, and defense is the top priority.

Of course, there is another important reason...Aaron McGee can put the same pressure on Fanci at the training ground. Fanci needs a good partner who can score points.

The Portland Trail Blazers are open to trades, and Aaron McGee is hardly an integral figure in Portland.

But this does not prevent them from opening their mouths.

They asked for Rodney Rogers, whose scoring average last season was second only to Loyott's, and Elgin Baylor was at odds with them under Fanshee's instructions.

Finally, a preliminary agreement was reached. The Clippers sent Rodney Rogers and Malik Healy, two tall forwards who averaged more than ten points per game, from the Portland Trail Blazers in exchange for Aaron McGee, Jermaine O'Neal and 1998. ’s first-round pick.

No matter how you look at this deal, it's a huge profit for the Blazers.

Because the Trail Blazers' defense line is not as abundant as the inside line. They have Sabonis, Rasheed Wallace and others inside, and that's when they are short of people on the outside.

Even Elgin Baylor thinks this deal is too uneconomical. At least one of the two should be kept, even if it is replaced by Brent Barry?

Vansh was insistent.

And insist on this year's high school rookies Jermaine O'Neal and Aaron McGee, even if they don't get the draft picks in the end.

This confused Baylor.

He even wanted to have a chat with his boss, but in the end he realized clearly that even if he went to Madonna, he wouldn't be able to get words of support for him.

Madonna is definitely looking towards Fanci.

Once these three transactions are completed, Fanxi's team will take shape.

Inside: Ben Wallace, Lorenzen Wright, Roy Ott, Charles Barkley, Jermaine O'Neal.

Small forwards: Rick Fox, Brent Barry, Chris Mullin.

Guards: Aaron McGee, Dell Curry, Fanci.

In addition, Elgin Baylor followed Sterling's style and signed a couple of undrafted players, including Darik Martin, an undersized, scoring-first point guard. Bo Otello, a engineer who entered the NBA as a defender, and Eric Piakowsky, who stayed on the team because of his white skin, are a shooter and have similar functions to Brent Barry.

These three will often compete for the final spot.

To be honest, after looking at this list, Fan Xi felt... there was nothing wrong with it at all.

You have to defend, you have to defend, you have to shoot, you have to shoot.

The most important thing is...the defense is really strong and tough!

"Do you want to change the head coach?"

Elgin Baylor to Fancy.

Fan Xi said that he would not consider this issue for the time being and would finish the transaction first.

…

After the team transactions were almost busy, Fan Xi finally moved. He also purchased a property in Beverly Hills. This house originally belonged to a Moroccan prince and was decorated extremely luxuriously.

Originally he wanted to sell it for 8 million U.S. dollars, but when he heard that the buyer was Fan Xi, he cut it off and sold it for 6 million U.S. dollars.

Fan Xi made an appointment with him and said that the prince was really not short of money.

Fan Xi played half a round of golf with him, and then went with him to a celebrity club in Los Angeles. He finally said that he would sell it to Fan Xi for US$3.88 million to make a friend.

The real estate agent in charge of the transaction was dumbfounded.

He has never seen an owner who doesn't take money seriously. Normally, if you don't rush to sell this house, 10 million won't be a problem.

This is much more luxurious than Madonna's French manor. All the faucets in the house are gold, there is a swimming pool wide enough to hold swimming competitions, a back garden where you can play golf in the back, plus an indoor basketball court... wait a minute Everything is available.

The location and view are unbeatable.

Only sold for 3.88 million?

If this made Shaquille O'Neal...his previous employer know that he would be very angry. O'Neal bought a house in the outer suburbs. The area was less than two-thirds of the size here, and the decoration was several grades worse. It cost 5 million.

Fan Xi happily signed the contract with him and moved in in September.

It is worth mentioning that Kobe Bryant also bought a set below. This poor little guy was brought here to buy it by his father. The one he bought was very ordinary... near the foot of the mountain.

After all, Kobe is still just a small player on a rookie contract. His salary is only 1.02 million US dollars a year. How can he compare with Fan Xi, a big boss who earns 135 million US dollars.

Although they are the same age, in terms of money, Fan Xi entered the NBA two years early and earned much more than anyone else in his generation.

So, fate is a very magical thing.

Who would have thought that Fanci joined a wolf pack like the Knicks in the first season, and instead of being ostracized by the big guys, he was held in the palm of his hand, and everyone took care of him collectively, and finally broke out in the finals and won the finals MVP?

Who would have thought that the youngest Finals MVP in history would be traded, and to the arch-rival Rockets? In the Rockets, Fanci was even more important. He was on an equal footing with Olajuwon, a superstar known for his good temper. By coincidence, he won the second Finals MVP trophy.

Then, what happened happened naturally.

Kobe Bryant would often ride his bicycle from the foot of the mountain to find Fan Xi halfway up the mountain.

He doesn't have a driver's license yet.

Fan Xi is almost a year older than him and can already drive by himself.

Fan Xi often takes him for rides. Of course, the more important things are duels and accumulating iron points.

Fan Xi is getting closer and closer to the completion of this wave of iron value, which makes him feel happy.

He hopes to resolve this "Light Against Subversion" before the new season.

Because as the three transactions occurred one after another, more and more voices believed that the Clippers were doing something stupid.

Baylor replaced all the players who could play one-on-one with the ball. Except for Chris Mullin, who was aging and suffering from injuries all year round, the players they exchanged were all role players.

"...Little Jack has long proven that he has no ability to open up the situation through offense. Is the Clippers' team-building idea hoping that Charles Barkley will hold the ball and challenge one team?"

Many media asked questions on TV.

In contrast, the Lakers' trade made people feel that Jerry West was worthy of being a better and more trustworthy manager than Elgin Baylor.

After he got Shaquille O'Neal, he quickly paired him with power forward Robert Horry, who can stretch the space, and also introduced him to Byron Scott, who is good at passing the ball inside.

Although it is a small repair, it is very targeted.

On the other hand, the Clippers are a bit messy.

Some Los Angeles media even said sarcastically: "It seems that Sterling cannot be entirely blamed in the past few years."

Such a sound would not hesitate to add insult to injury to Sterling. He was so sad.

Because since the league passed the agreement with great joy and decisiveness, the Clippers have exploded in huge commercial value.

The season tickets that he was originally told were only 20% sold suddenly skyrocketed. Elgin Baylor directly raised the price of season tickets excluding playoffs to the same level as the Lakers.

The result actually triggered panic buying.

This time, Elgin Baylor only released 50% of its season tickets.

Just this 50% of the season ticket revenue made Sterling Donald cry and fainted in the toilet.

Not to mention that Baylor has raised the price of stadium advertising to 20% more than the Lakers' price, and there are still brands insisting on entering.

Sterling realized he had been deceived and even expressed his intention to sue the court.

However, Baylor's tone was very tough. He told the media: Mr. Sterling should look for more problems from himself. Why is it that the same team, in the hands of Sterling, has a mediocre box office, but in the hands of Madonna, it is hard to get a ticket. There is clearly more confidence in Madonna building the team.

Sterling was very uncomfortable being blocked.

The Wall Street Journal once expressed its confusion. They couldn't figure out why Sterling would sell Madonna at such a low price, and they couldn't figure out why Sterling would personally provide low-interest loans to Madonna. The only reason is... Sterling is a fan of Madonna?

According to the data analysis of this authoritative financial media, the Clippers can make a profit this season, and just be able to repay Sterling's loan. And the market value will soon climb to 200 million US dollars, and will continue to rise in the future. Ten years later, it will be at least 1 billion US dollars.

At that time... Sterling had just received 128 million US dollars, and he had not even calculated the rate of depreciation of the US dollar.

Originally, everyone thought that Grandet had been deceived enough by Van Xi, but he did not expect that he would lose more from his aunt Madonna.

His act of providing a loan was equivalent to selling himself and helping others count money.

Sterling was very sad, and even went crazy to sue the league and withdraw the deal. He also accused Madonna and Van Xi of being relatives, and the league could not turn a blind eye.

However, the league ignored him.

The owners of other teams were even less likely to help him, and they would only laugh at him.

After all, this guy was so stingy that he was reluctant to renovate the locker room of his home team, and he could not work with everyone on many team issues. At least Madonna has additional influence, she can make the NBA more popular.

As for her aunt-nephew relationship with Fan Xi, they haven't married yet?

And even if they are married, so what?

As long as you can bring benefits, the owners can turn a blind eye.

Just like Michael Jordan, he signed a one-year contract of 33 million US dollars with the Bulls. And this salary was excluded from the Bulls' salary cap. Did other owners jump out and say it was unfair?

No!

Because Jordan's stay in the league is good for other teams, and everyone can benefit from it.

Madonna's acquisition of the Clippers is the same reason.

Who would have a problem with money?

"Except Sterling Donald."

The talk show host always satirizes Sterling on TV.

Time flies, and soon it will be October... Madonna's belly is getting rounder and rounder. If nothing unexpected happens, Fan Xiaohua will meet everyone around the Chinese New Year.

This made Fan Le start to mutter: Should I give her a nickname "Spring Festival Gala"?

Fan Xi quickly stopped the Roujiamo boss's literary ideas. He said, "You should talk more about opera with Madonna's good sister when you have time."

Fan Le has been busy recently.

Fan Xi is also the same. His love life has become a mess after being magnified in the world of fame and fortune in Los Angeles.

But anyway, the new season is finally about to begin.

Fan Xi is confident that he will open a new chapter and write his name on the cover.

He has a strong consensus with Kobe, Marbury, and Iverson on this point.
