Zhao Ke was not happy.
He choked on the water.
Well, eating hot pot, drinking wine, and taking a beautiful girl to swim in the great rivers and mountains of Sichuan and Sichuan.
What a fairy day!
But he is cheap.
During the break, I had to buy a new Nokia N73 there, and a sports news came out.
Then he sprayed water all over the place.
What the hell!
The Lakers robbed the Memphis Grizzlies?
It's not the right day!
Zhao Ke checked the calendar again, yes, it was 2007.
Wo Nima, the butterfly wings are a bit fierce!
Kobe woke up a year earlier, could it be that the Los Angeles Lakers have since embarked on the road to revival?
Next, it should be Lukai, right?
Gone are the days when the Charlotte Bobcats dominated the world!
Wait, I seem to have missed something...
Los Angeles Lakers?
Kobe Bryant?
Pau Gasol?
Memphis Grizzlies?
Yes, the Memphis Grizzlies!
Legend has it that Grizzlies owner Mike Heisley is selling the team?
Zhao Ke glanced at Qiao Rannuo.
Is it time to start?
In other words, the implementation of the disaster relief plan did not cost much at all.
If you are not careful, too much money will be prepared!
How about buying a team first?
Now that the Memphis Grizzlies record is at the bottom, the core has been sold off, and the team owner has become a street rat again, it is a good time to start at a low price.
In an alternate timeline, talks between Mike Heisley and the syndicate run by Christian Laettner and Brian Davis ended up falling apart.
Of course it will collapse!
As a new team, there are no championships, division championships, no background, no record, no stars, and even an unstable fan base...
If it is said to be profitable, who would believe it?
At this point, Mike Heisley also opened his mouth to the lion, and wanted 75 million for [-]% of the shares.
Why don't you go grab it!
The Memphis Grizzlies, formerly known as the Vancouver Grizzlies, are a product of the NBA's expansion into Canada, just like the Toronto Raptors.
Joined the NBA with the Toronto Raptors in the 1995-1996 season.
The team's first owner was a local Vancouver sports mogul, Arthur Griffiths.
Under the impetus of Griffith, on August 1994, 8, the Vancouver Basketball Cooperation Group gave the new team an official name-Vancouver Grizzlies.
But within a year, on March 1995, 3, Griffith announced the transfer of primary ownership of the Vancouver Grizzlies, Canadiens and General Motors Arena to Seattle businessman John McCaw Jr.
Still later, the team owner became Mike Heisley.
After Mike Heisley took over, he found that the Vancouver Grizzlies kept changing bosses. There is a reason for that!
In a sparsely populated place like Canada, how difficult it is to cultivate fans, not to mention that in Vancouver, the Grizzlies don't have many basketball fans at all.
The craziest sport in Vancouver is-
puck!
What is basketball?
Can you slide and play?
So, in the middle of the 2000-2001 season, Michael Heisley moved the Grizzlies back to Memphis, where Rice lived, and renamed them the Memphis Grizzlies.
In order to attract the arrival of the Grizzlies, Memphis spent 2 million U.S. dollars and took 5 months to build the largest public facility in the history of Memphis——
FedEx Forum.
So far, the Memphis Grizzlies are also the only professional team that rents the FedEx Arena, which is equivalent to the exclusive use of the Grizzlies.
Compared with the New Orleans Hornets who wandered around for the arena, how happy the Memphis Grizzlies are!
However, the team owner is, after all, evil capitalism.
His purpose is still——
make money!
The Memphis Grizzlies have been losing money for several years in a row, and Mike Heisley no longer wants to take it easy.
If you want to "cheat" the fans into the stadium and obediently donate the ticket money, no record, no star, no honor is absolutely impossible!
In fact, after the collapse of the consortium with Christian Laettner and Brian Davis, the Memphis Grizzlies were once uninterested.
After a long wait, Mike Hailis waited until six years later, when the "black and white bears" rose up, the Grizzlies became a strong force in the Western Conference, and the team began to make profits, before he sold the team.
The receiver was Robert Pera, a communication technology giant. Six years later, the Grizzlies' purchase price was 3.5 million US dollars. Anyway, at that time, the team "black eight" defeated the Spurs and reached the Western Conference semifinals!
But now, it is the bottom one in the league!
Are you ashamed to ask someone for 3 million US dollars?
Six years later, the Philadelphia 76ers only sold for $2.8 million. Anyway, their ancestors were richer, and there were two O'Brien Cups!
The latter is not comparable, let’s talk about the past.
In other words, Jerry Buss only spent 1979 million dollars when he bought the Los Angeles Lakers in 6700, and that was the real miss!
Uh, but, compare the 1983 Indiana Pacers to $450 million and the 1985 Chicago Bulls to $1600 million...
The Los Angeles Lakers don't seem to be cheap, the rich are always the rich!
In other words, the most expensive team in the NBA is actually the New York Knicks ($1997 billion in August 8)!
Ma Dan, this rotten city, a bunch of rotten fans, can't bear to be rich...
That's all too long ago. Take a look at the teams that have sold in recent years:
Dallas Mavericks, January 2000, $1 million.
Denver Nuggets, April 2000, $4 million (sold together with arena).
Boston Celtics, September 2002, $9 million.
Phoenix Suns, April 2004, $4 million.
Cleveland Cavaliers: January 2005, $1 million.
Seattle SuperSonics: October 2006, $10 million.
Mike Heisley refers to the price quoted by the Seattle SuperSonics, but he is an old team established in 1966, at least won the championship (1978-1979 season), and has produced superstars like Gary Payton!
Even now, people are not down and out.
The team also has first-line stars like Ray Allen!
What do the Memphis Grizzlies have?
Zhao Ke's psychological price is less than 100 million U.S. dollars, [-]% of the shares.
However, Yao Mozi's wings are a bit weird now.
Even Kobe can force the palace ahead of time, so maybe Mike Heisley will settle the deal with Kristan Laettner, there is really no place to cry!
"Nono..."
Zhao Ke's virtue is as good as a little boy who eats soft food.
"Are you finished?"
Holding a bottle of water in his hand, Qiao Rannuo touched Zhao Ke's head.
Ever since he finished spitting out the water, a certain big guy had been in a daze, and he refused to answer. Qiao Rannuo was about to pour water on his head...
"Nonuo, let's go back to Mi Li's house!"
"What are you doing, you're so surprised!"
"Buy a team!"
"Spending money at this time, you don't do disaster relief?"
"Nonuo, I accidentally saved too much money, and I can't even spend it on disaster relief. We have to work hard..."
"Then there's no need to be in such a hurry, I haven't made any arrangements yet..."
Zhao Ke picked up Qiao Rannuo, put it on his shoulder, and carried it away.
Buying a football team is the same as buying stocks——
Hands are fast, hands are slow!
