After receiving the news that Stern was in good health, the bosses temporarily relaxed and left the hospital in twos and threes.
Some people must meet privately to discuss how to handle the current situation.
Mark Cuban stopped Min Congda and took him to his luxury car.
"No one thought that something like this would happen. It was such an eventful time."
Cuban took out a bottle of whiskey from the refrigerator in the back seat of the car and poured a glass for himself and Min Congda, taking a sip to calm down their shock.
To be honest, Cuban is still frightened. If Stern failed to hold on and collapsed just now, Cuban is directly responsible.
He was the first to rush back to the conference room and question Stern, followed by a group of bosses who forced Stern, and finally forced the little old man to collapse.
Therefore, in the hospital, Cuban had a tense face all the time, and he was extremely nervous when he saw the doctor coming out.
Fortunately, elites like Stern had strong physical fitness and were rushed to the hospital in time to save him, so it didn't cause a major disaster.
Min Congda did not drink the Bordeaux from the glass, but asked Cuban: "What are your plans next? Are you going to force Stern to handle the deal between the Hornets and the Lakers?"
Cuban's face changed and he said: "One code is one code, of course it must be dealt with! If Stern doesn't deal with it, let Silva deal with it. We can't let the Lakers take advantage of this!"
Min Congda said: "If the Lakers don't take advantage of this, someone will take advantage. Do you, the Mavericks, want Paul?"
Cuban said: "Of course I want it, but it's a pity that we don't have the leverage. Besides, if I oppose Paul going to the Lakers, and finally let Paul go to the Mavericks, what will others think of me?"
Cuban took another sip, his emotions slowly calmed down, and he said to Min Congda: "Thanks to you being here just now, otherwise David might have gone to see God. You are amazing, calm down."
Min Congda was indeed calm at the critical moment. After all, when he was working in a bank, old men and old ladies often quarreled in the business hall.
Sometimes if you are not careful, an old man or woman will fall ill due to emotion and fall to the ground. As a staff member, you must know some basic first aid knowledge.
Otherwise, if someone loses their life in the bank, they will have to pay a large sum of money in compensation. Min Congda has received training and knows how to deal with strokes, heart attacks, etc.
I didn't expect it to be used in this place and at this time.
"The agreement is finally reached, so don't bother anymore. As for Paul going to the Lakers, just let him go. Isn't that the law of the jungle in the NBA? Besides, even if Paul goes to the Lakers, the Lakers may not really rise. Oh, they're missing Gasol and Odom."
Min Congda tried to persuade him. He hoped that Paul could go to the Lakers.
He had previously made up his mind to help strong teams like the Lakers and Spurs maintain the strength of their lineups and create enemies for the Clippers.
There is no need for him to take action now. The Lakers can simply take Paul home. What a great thing, how can they stop it?
Cuban shook his head and said: "If this deal is delayed a week, I don't think everyone will have any objections. Anyway, this is not the first time the Lakers have done this. This time is different. The hostility has not been resolved. Let's do this. Even if I don't take the lead, other teams will oppose it. Also, the Hornets are now under the league's trusteeship. If it were not the league's trusteeship, we would have just scolded them. What can we do if they are willing to trade?"
"The trusteeship is different. In theory, the league is the owner of the Hornets and can veto the management's decision. It depends on what decision Adam Silva will make tomorrow. But in the end, he will definitely have to listen to Stern. .”
After listening to Cuban's words, Min Congda was worried about the deal. In order to appease the dissatisfaction of many bosses, Stern is likely to veto the deal.
If that were the case, if I hadn't saved Stern just now, maybe the deal would have definitely been done. Who would care about the deal even if the president is dead?
It's just that Min Congda can't use human life to achieve his own goals. In the situation just now, he has to save people no matter what.
Cuban saw Min Congda lowered his head and was deep in thought, and felt that he was trying to influence Paul, so he asked: "Smart, what do you think of sending Paul to the Clippers? Using Curry as the subject of the transaction, the Hornets will definitely agree. And Paul can also do it." Coming to Los Angeles, the league won't say no, it's definitely a good idea."
When Min Congda heard this, he waved his hands quickly and said: "No, no, I don't want Paul, the Clippers don't need him!"
Chris Paul performs extremely well every time he plays against the Clippers, causing the Hornets to always be the Clippers' victims.
Good guy, you asked Grandpa St. Paul to come to the Clippers, do you want us to win the championship?
The more Cuban thought about it, the more he felt that this deal was very feasible. Anyway, the Clippers' potential was overflowing, so it would be just right to bring Paul over.
"I really think this is a good deal. Do you think Curry is better than Paul?"
Of course Min Congda didn't think so, but he had no choice but to bite the bullet and said: "Of course! Curry is not for sale in our team, and I will not trade him."
Judging from the current NBA evaluation system, Paul, who is good at both offense and defense and a master of court command, is definitely better than a partial point guard like Curry.
Paul rushed to second place in MVP in his third year and almost surpassed Kobe Bryant to win the regular season MVP.
And can Curry achieve such an achievement in his third season? No one thinks highly of him.
Seeing that Min Congda was so stubborn, Cuban didn't say much. Anyway, the Clippers were defeated and a huge threat in the future. There was no need for him to strengthen the Clippers.
The car quickly arrived near the hotel. Min Congda originally planned to go back to Los Angeles directly after the meeting today.
Because of Stern's incident, everyone decided to stay in New York for one more day to prevent any changes tomorrow.
When leaving, Cuban grabbed Min Congda and asked, "Smart, I have another suggestion. Do you want to hear it?"
Min Congda asked: "What's the proposal? You want to trade Nowitzki to the Clippers? Okay, I'll trade Randolph for you."
Cuban waved his hands repeatedly, how could this be possible, and said: "No, I want to ask you, if Stern, I mean if, he does not survive, who do you think the next NBA president will be?"
Min Congda said: "Isn't the next president Adam Silva?"
Cuban smiled and said: "David has indeed groomed Silva as his successor, but it has not been officially confirmed. Moreover, the president is selected by the bosses together. If we don't agree, Silva can't do it." President."
Min Congda said: "Then... Bozia?"
Cuban snorted disdainfully and said, "Bozia is only in charge of referees, how can he be the president."
Min Congda shrugged. He had never thought deeply about this issue.
Cuban came over and whispered: "I just had a brief discussion with several owners of the Rockets, Spurs, Kings, and Cavaliers. We think we recommend you to be the president of the NBA. What do you think?"
Some people died, but not completely...
