Robert Savo, a man who relied on his extremely keen sense of smell, made a fortune from the real estate business at the age of 25.

In his twenties, he became a rich man who had no worries about food and clothing.

And some people in their twenties still fantasize about becoming a famous author.

Because he had already made a fortune at a young age, Savo was willing and able to try a variety of new things.

Now, in his forties, he suddenly remembered his childhood dream of becoming a sports champion.

But he is a man who knows nothing but making money. He can stop and gasp three times while running 100 meters.

Becoming a sports champion is basically impossible.

In this case, then I will train sports champions!

So this summer, Robert Savo spent $400 million to buy the Phoenix Suns.

The price of US$400 million also broke the historical record for NBA teams changing hands today.

A year ago, the historic Boston Celtics changed hands and only sold for 360 million.

After Savo took over the team, he soon chatted with the team's general manager and Brian Colangelo, the son of National Basketball Association spokesman Jerry Colangelo, about making the team bigger and stronger.

plan.

When a new owner joins a team, he is usually very ambitious.

After all, a new official needs three things to do before he takes office.

Savo bought the team firstly because he wanted to make some money. Secondly, he also wanted to realize his childhood dream of becoming a champion.

As an expert in the banking and real estate industries, Robert Savo analyzed the current situation in a very pragmatic way:

"We have no big stars, Marbury is not popular, and Penny Hardaway is basically useless now. He can't even play half of the games in a year. As a result, the team's record is not good, and the team cannot sell the ball.

ticket.

If tickets cannot be sold and the team performs poorly, it will lose money.

When the team loses money, the boss will find an enemy like me, take off his gloves and run away.

Do you think I'm being taken advantage of? Colangelo."

Of course Colangelo, the migrant worker, shook his head: "No, no, how can you be taken advantage of, Mr. Sa? You are obviously very smart if you can spend 400 million to buy the sun!"

"That's right, I'm not the one who was taken advantage of. I came to Phoenix to only do three things. Make money, make money, and fucking...championship!

Without championships and achievements, how can you make money? Right? It's just like doing business. If you don't make some achievements, will the sponsor's father invest in you?

The fans are our financial sponsors. If we want to capture the money in their pockets, we will get results."

Colangelo gave a thumbs up: "What the boss said is absolutely true. Don't say anything. I will find you the most capable stars in the league tomorrow!"

Colangelo was so excited. He thought he had met a money-making boss like Paul Allen.

Damn it, if you really have a check that you can't spend all your money, you won't be able to take off!

I can finally experience the thrill of playing with a max-level account!

As a result, Savo grabbed Colangelo at this time:

"Hey, young people are impulsive. To make money, you have to learn to control costs. Like Cuban and Dolan, who spend a lot of money to build a lineup and raise costs, you will earn less. You have to

Find me the best players in the league, but I can’t spend 100 million a year?”

Colangelo's mood suddenly hit rock bottom again. After talking for a long time, aren't you still a bitch?

"We have to spend this money wisely. Let's put it this way, I think there are a lot of big fish in the free agent market this year. See if you can catch two more for me. Stars are the guarantee of box office and performance. We

Arizona's team must have stars, and our fans must watch the stars and nothing else.

But for a star, you have to find someone who is very popular and not particularly expensive. And, you have to find someone who is topical. I think Li Ang is good. He is the center of public opinion wherever he goes, and he also has the Chinese market.

What's more, his playing is entertaining to watch. This summer, your task is to rebuild the team.

Get Marbury and Hardaway away, get Leon here, and make the team better!"

Savo is a person who is superstitious about short-term investment, gathering stars, building a lineup, and winning championships.

If it doesn't work, withdraw.

Quick investment, quick return.

Marbury and Hardaway have proven that they cannot succeed in Phoenix.

Therefore, Savo now asked Colangelo to create a new lineup.

With the new boss's orders, Colangelo spent countless days and nights brainstorming this summer.

In this way, the Suns became the most amazing team in the summer of 2003!

They acquired both Leon and O'Neal in the free agent market, and acquired Nash from the Mavericks.

These three people were all carefully selected by Colangelo.

It can be said that all of them meet the requirements of new boss Savo.

Although Li Ang has a maximum salary, because he has only been in the league for less than five years, according to the rules of the labor agreement, the maximum salary he signed is the lowest price among the maximum salaries, which only accounts for 25% of the salary cap.

For example, with the same maximum salary, Leon's starting salary in the first year is only 10.96 million. And O'Neal's starting salary in the first year is as high as 13.15 million.

This is the difference between maximum salary and maximum salary.

Maximum salary is a broad concept, but the specific amounts vary widely.

Winning Li Ang satisfies the three conditions of being good-looking, topical and relatively cheap.

After choosing Nash, he was actually trying to save money. After all, Nash's contract this year is only more than 5 million. When the contract expires next year, Colangelo expects to be able to renew the contract for 8 million a year.

Moreover, Nash is quite popular in Phoenix and can drive a wave of box office revenue.

It's cheap, topical, and the conditions are very suitable.

Only O'Neal Jr. came from a serious background.

But it’s not like Savo can’t afford such a top-paid player. To lead a star player, you always have to have one.

Even the owner of the Spurs who sells tractors has two maximum-paid players. If you only support one maximum-paid player, you will not be able to go to the table when the time comes to eat, so you can only go to the children's table.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Savo looked at the three stars that Colangelo got after a series of tricks, and nodded with satisfaction: "No need to change, I like this.

A batch!”

Colangelo asked again: "So the introduction of role players..."

"Role players? I already have people who can lead the stars. How many more role players do I need? For the role players, just make do with whatever is available in the team."

"Uh..." Colangelo was also convinced. He really deserves to be in the banking industry.

You are a financial expert.

It’s really time to save money and spend money.

You hit hard when facing stars, but you are submissive when facing role players.

But it doesn’t matter, the Suns currently have Joe. I can do everything Jordan can do. Johnson.

He can also be considered a quality role player.

Who cares, pass it to Qiao Tou and the value will be natural!

There is also the Brazilian Lightning Barbosa who was just picked in this year's draft. The little guard should also be a good attacker.

The top priority now is to find some cheap forward substitutes and interior substitutes.

But these are not big problems. As long as the main framework of the team is in place, other things can be easily solved.

I don’t know if the Phoenix Suns can succeed next season, but the popularity is indeed high.

After a crazy night, the Suns, Savo, Colangelo, Nash, O'Neal Jr. and Leon were all watching almost all the sports channels in the world.

Savo felt happy when he saw the sun being reported all over the United States.

Do you understand how to cash out traffic? After this operation, the Suns are now as popular as teams like the Lakers and Spurs!

Otherwise, why do people say they got rich at the age of 25? In 2003, they cashed out through traffic.

Everyone is discussing the prospects of the Suns next season, and some people are calling Dumars Shi Lezhi this time.

Letting go of FMVP? There is no such precedent in history!

Dumas is almost being accused of being autistic, do you think that’s what I want!?

On the left, there is a head coach who is madly angry, and on the right, the boss refuses to pay.

What can I do? I can’t even breathe right now!

Larry Brown also comforted Dumars: "It doesn't matter. When I broker Rasheed's deal, we will be a championship team again. You have to believe in my ability as a famous basketball coach! Continuous Basketball Association

They all believe in me and let me lead the team to compete in the Olympics, but you still don’t believe me?"

Although Leon's situation is better than he imagined, Brown does not think the Suns will be a threat next season.

To put it bluntly, O'Neal Jr. doesn't face the test of the playoffs. Even though he has been in the league for six years and has played in many playoff games, when O'Neal played in the playoffs during the Trail Blazers' time, his playing time was all the same.
