The Clippers management can call it quits after acquiring Stephen Curry.
Neither of them had to draft in the second round because their second-round pick was traded away in last year's draft.
The Clippers traded it for Portland Trail Blazers small guard Mike Taylor, then waived him after one season.
It can be said that a draft pick was wasted, and it can also be regarded as the basic operation of the Clippers.
Min Congda didn't know much about the draft. After selecting Stephen Curry, he personally called New York and told the front line in his somewhat broken English: "Select, Stephen Curry."
Before the other party could ask more questions, Min Congda hung up the phone and faced a room full of stunned colleagues—no, they should be subordinates.
Then he asked Ada what other work arrangements he had for today. Ada told him that the Clippers no longer had draft picks, and the subsequent drafts had nothing to do with them.
But as a rule, everyone watches the draft until the final round.
Firstly, to understand the selections of other teams, and secondly, to see if there are any trading opportunities.
Min Congda didn't care about this. When he heard that everything was fine, he said directly: "Very good, get off work!"
It feels so good to be able to get off work in five minutes!
But no one else in the office had any intention of leaving.
Min Congda asked Ada what to do with his accommodation. He didn't have a place to stay yet.
Ada said: "The boss has made arrangements for you...but do you really have to get off work?"
There was a hesitant look on Ada's face. She looked at Olshey, who said: "Mr. Smart doesn't have a place to live yet, does he? Then you should quickly arrange his life issues, we still have to stay." Let’s have a meeting to discuss the draft.”
Because of Min Congda's sudden attack, the Clippers' plan was completely disrupted.
Olshey felt it was necessary to discuss some countermeasures with his subordinates and how to deal with this new manager who landed from the air.
When Min Congda heard this, he didn't want to leave. He wanted to send me away and continue working overtime?
This is a challenge to the authority of the new general manager.
His face immediately darkened and he said: "Everyone, get off work now, immediately, immediately!"
No one knows the details of Min Congda. Since he has won the trust of Boss Sterling, the employees naturally have no reason to disobey him.
And it's a done deal. The Clippers have already acquired Stephen Curry and it cannot be changed. What's the use of having another meeting?
Former president Rosser was the first to stand up and said: "Great, you can get off work in five minutes. This is the benefit that the new general manager brings to everyone! Get off work and go back early to spend time with your family. It is a good choice."
The former boss of the administrative department said so, and everyone stood up and left the office, including Olshey, who had an angry face but had no choice.
The only person who stayed in the office was the team's media director Rob Richele. He walked up to Min Congda and said: "Mr. Smart, we have some issues to deal with now."
Min Congda said: "If you have any problems, hurry up and don't delay getting off work."
Min Congda is full of expectations for his upcoming life in the United States.
He didn't want to spend too much time here.
However, Racheli's fat body blocked the door of the office, so Min Congda had to listen to what he had to say.
Richele said unhurriedly: "In this draft, we have already decided to get Griffin. All our publicity is prepared for Griffin. Now that we have selected Curry, what should we do? Explaining to the fans and the media? I think the phones in every office are going to be buzzing. Also, the Griffin team will go to court to prosecute, which is a blow to our reputation."
While Racheli was talking, phones were ringing upstairs and downstairs.
Obviously, the Clippers' choice surprised everyone, and everyone wanted an explanation.
Min Congda patted Racheli on the shoulder and said, "What's your name?"
"Rob, Rob Richley."
"Carrot, who has the power to select players?"
"Um...owner, or general manager of the team."
"who I am?"
"You are Mr. Smart."
"Who is Mr. Smart?"
"Mr. Smart is the general manager of the Los Angeles Clippers."
"Can I choose Stephen Curry?"
"Uh...of course, but..."
"Then do you know how to explain it to the media and fans?"
"I...I know."
Rob Racheli felt sweat coming out of his head.
The new general manager looks ordinary and his English is somewhat broken, but his momentum is really oppressive.
Moreover, his language is concise, completely different from Olshey who likes to be long-winded. He has a crisp and refreshing style.
Of course Racheli didn't know that Min Congda's concise language was because of his poor vocabulary!
After finishing Racheli, Min Congda happily went to his residence with Ada.
Needless to say, the so-called arrangement by the boss must be properly arranged by the system.
And Ada's impression of Min Congda has completely changed.
This is indeed a person with extraordinary courage. He directly went against the previous management decision by parachute management, and was not afraid of rumors. This courage and courage are worthy of admiration.
Ada looked at Min Congda with a little more reverence.
And Min Congda felt so happy in his heart. He remembered that he used to go to meetings for clients, and he had to be questioned by various people at the meeting.
He had to spend several nights working on the data and charts and patiently explain them one by one, dealing with all kinds of nitpicks and nitpicks from the risk control department.
Sometimes he really wants to jump up and shout to these people: "I am going to do this client's business. If you don't do this client's business, all your bonuses will be gone. How can you have time to find faults here! As long as you understand If you know a little bit about this industry, you won’t ask these childish questions!”
Of course, he never said this once. In the end, he reluctantly passed the application after repeated explanations, and the credit may even be cut.
Well now, he is the biggest except for the boss, and the boss is obviously controlled by the system.
So what else do I have to explain? Explain to whom? No explanation, my choice is the reason!
……………………
Ada drove Min Congda to his destination, a high-end apartment near Chinatown.
It's only a 20-minute drive from Staples Center, and the transportation is very convenient. And because we are in Chinatown, surrounded by various Chinese restaurants and Chinese people working and living, daily life will not be a problem for Min Congda.
You can just move in with your bag, and you don’t need to bring anything. All daily necessities are well prepared inside, and there are even suits, ties, and leather shoes specially customized for Min Congda in the wardrobe.
The size is just right.
"The system's capabilities are really powerful. It would be great if you could send me a wife."
Min Congda looked at Ada who was checking out the facilities of the house. She was young, beautiful, and in great shape.
However, office romance is not very recognized in both China and the United States. And if you have 300 million US dollars in the future, do you still need to worry about being single?
After confirming that there was no problem with the residence, Min Congda sent Ada away.
"By the way, give me the alarm clock in the car!"
"I know, I brought it to you. You must be a person with a strong sense of time."
Ada couldn't help but said to Min Congda.
Min Congda was stunned, thinking that as a person who has difficulty getting out of bed, this is the first time someone has praised me like this.
"Thank you. By the way, when will you go to work tomorrow? What are your work arrangements?"
Ada flipped through her work diary and said: "Stephen Curry will arrive in Los Angeles tomorrow, and we expect to arrange a press conference for him, scheduled for ten in the morning..."
"Wait a minute!" Min Congda interrupted Ada, "Ten o'clock in the morning is too early, everyone should sleep in. Curry came all the way from New York, is it appropriate to have a meeting in the morning? Arrange it until the afternoon."
Min Congda is a little nervous right now, and he will have to catch up on his sleep later.
Ada wrote down Min Congda's request and continued: "After the press conference, we will discuss the signing contract with Curry. Also, deal with some player transaction plans and analyze the scouting report..."
"Stop it! We'll deal with tomorrow's matters tomorrow. I want to rest."
As a manager who wants to fail, Min Congda believes that he should not be so concerned about work matters.
When the time comes, it’s just a matter of opposing the management.
"Also! Send me some information about the Los Angeles Clippers. The more detailed the better."
After giving her final instructions, Ada left the apartment.
Min Congda could finally lie down on the soft Simmons bed and rest for a while.
But he was still thinking about the team's failure.
"It's easy to mess it up. Then we'll cut off all the good players in the team!"
As soon as this idea came to mind, the system gave a prompt: [Players and employees in the team are not allowed to be laid off at will, and there must be legitimate reasons. 】
What? Need a legitimate reason? That’s it, the arbitrary layoffs can no longer be used.
"Then I will spend money to invest and use the team's money elsewhere."
The system also prompted: [Team funds and human resources are not allowed to be invested in non-basketball related fields. 】
This doesn’t work either? Another shortcut to destroying the company has been blocked again.
I thought of several ways to destroy it, but most of them were rejected by the system.
It's not just random creation, it still has a bit of technical content.
"It seems that the only way to run the team seriously is to lead the team into a pit."
This matter should be taken seriously.
