On September 10, Robert Smith brought his brother Matt to Guo Xu and said he would ask him for some questions about NBA.

"Your vision is very accurate. I want to ask, do you think the NBA team is worth investing in? I want to buy the Warriors." Matt surprised Guo Xu as soon as he spoke.

Warriors boss Chris Cohen does consider selling the team. As early as a few years ago, there were rumors that Cohen would sell his shares. This summer, the same news once again became increasingly true.

Cohen felt tired, and the Warriors have almost become synonymous with strangeness and failure under his leadership over the past 15 years. He tried to become a boss supported by fans and tried to become a winner, but he just didn't get any results.

The Warriors have a good geographical location and have a market in the San Francisco Bay Area. It is said that it is easy to succeed, but it is just a little bit short.

After the trade came to Kobe, the Warriors still failed to make the playoffs, and Cohen finally made up his mind.

The Smith family wanted to buy the NBA team, which was caused by Guo Xu. Matt was not a competitor in his previous life, and he was not familiar with the NBA at all. Now it is different. The Smith family and Guo Xu are allies. They began to pay attention to the NBA and learn about the NBA. They wanted to buy a team to advertise their own industries.

In the past, they were just invisible rich people who were in the limelight and had little popularity outside the circle. As they met Guo Xu and Robert married Britney, they began to gradually come to the forefront. The current global economic situation is not good, and investing in NBA is a road.

"Of course you can buy it. I am optimistic about the development potential of NBA." Guo Xu directly gave a positive answer.

Robert interjected: "Are you sure? I heard that the 2011 labor-capital agreement is difficult to negotiate, and many teams are losing money."

"Yes, the NBA is not in prosperity now, but it will be different in a few years. The NBA will become the dominant league in basketball. Because I and Mengba and I easily win the championship at this year's Olympics, fans can see the gap between other leagues and NBA. If the US team wins the championship again in the 2010 World Championships and the 2012 Olympics, the commercial value of NBA will continue to increase."

At this time, only a few people thought that investing in NBA teams had a promising future. In Guo Xu's previous life, the later boss of the Warriors, Joey Lacob, was a venture capitalist.

Matt asked with a smile: "Jason, will you consider the Warriors playing in the future? Or are you planning to play with the Suns until you retire?"

"I never thought about this. Even if I don't play in the Warriors, I can give you some suggestions for team building." Guo Xu replied.

Matt smiled and said, "Okay, I will form a group to discuss the acquisition of the Warriors."

Guo Xu is not a joke. He won too many games and became a little bit arrogant. He now has a Hong Kong cartoon mentality, which is always invincible and boring. What if the Warriors were formed like in their previous life? The fierce battle may be more interesting.

There is just a problem. Many people know his relationship with the Smith family. Maybe someone questioned the counterfeiting?

Considering that Adam Silva will cooperate with bookmakers in the future, this matter of Guo Xu does not seem to be a problem.

Matt is likely to be the final winner because the Smith family's financial resources are not comparable to Lacob. As long as they decide to buy, they will definitely be able to bid higher than the other party. Cohen must be who bids for the higher bid to whom, and there is no reason to sell them at a low price.

In recent years, Cohen has been investigated by the U.S. Taxation Bureau for tax evasion, which is constantly troublesome. To make matters worse, the Warriors also reported that there were internal conflicts in the management, which led to a downturn in the morale of the whole team. Guo Xu knew that the Warriors would change hands in the summer of 2009.

Players cannot buy teams, otherwise he will want to buy the Warriors and play with them. When he retires in the future, he will have a team to run and will always be linked to the NBA.

Making money on the team is not the key, it is a live advertisement, which is convenient for other careers, and everyone will know the boss through the team.

After the Warriors changed their boss in the previous life, they began to rise in 2013. They won the NBA championship three times in four years in 2015, becoming the hottest super team in the league. Lacob spent 450 million to buy the Warriors, how much is it worth later?

In 2018, the Warriors' valuation reached an astonishing $3 billion. How many times did they make? Cohen lost his blood, and he probably regretted it.

Guo Xu does not participate in anything about acquiring the Warriors, just thinks it has nothing to do with him. When the team really changes hands, he will not have any controversy.

Guo Xu is not unconsiderable to play in the Warriors in the future. Now he has a happy cooperation with Brian Colangelo. It is based on his youth. When he loses his form after he is 35 years old, who is sure that he will continue to be happy?

After the NBA star declined, it was common to be unable to obtain a big contract, and it was forced to cut salary or be swept out. Maybe Brian suddenly went crazy one day. In Guo Xu's previous life, this guy did a lot of stupid things.

He was exposed to use multiple trumpets to criticize his team and players on social media, including accusing the star Embiid of being the leading player, and Okafor, who had been neglected by the 76ers. At the same time, he also criticized the former manager of the 76ers. All of this caused an uproar in the entire public opinion.

Of course, it is not as simple as silly as Bryan Jian's trumpet, and he would do this only when he is crazy. Guo Xu firmly believes that when he is 35 years old, he must have won far more than Jordan's championships. He was probably the number one person in NBA history at that time. Now he is only 27 years old and there are still 8 years left.

In September, the last place in the Suns was confirmed, and 37-year-old veteran Brent Barry was selected, and the 15-man roster was collected.

Barry is very comprehensive, can shoot three-pointers, has a good passing awareness, and can keep up with the pace of the game at the 2nd and 3rd positions. He is not a mascot mixed with the ring, and can perform even if he occasionally plays for a few minutes.

Guo Xu and the Suns have completed a contract renewal, with a maximum salary of 5 years, and will be executed next season. 2012 is the player option and expires in 2013. By then, Guo Xu is 32 years old and can sign another big contract.

Guo Xu has not signed for 6 years, and it was very embarrassing in 2014. It is not suitable for players to sign long-term and short-term contracts, because the overall salary of NBA began to increase in salary in 2015, and any player with an annual salary of 10 million yuan. Guo Xu's plan is to sign for three years from 2013 to 2016. If he does not retire at the age of 35, he can still catch up with the salary increase and sign a high salary for a few more years.

At that time, he might not care about making money by playing basketball, but the size of the player's contract and whether the maximum salary are intuitively reflected in the value of the star. He would not agree to it if he gave too little. Some stars' salary cuts are to have better teammates to compete for the championship, and Guo Xu can also compete for the championship without superstar teammates.

When Guo Xu bought a house in Los Angeles, many Suns fans were a little worried, for fear that he would suddenly send a statement saying that he would go back to the Lakers. If the Lakers wanted to welcome him back, it would be impossible. Just send Joe Johnson away and not change back to the player. Bogut is still a rookie contract, and Ellis and Artest's contracts are not big, so they can afford to pay.

Now that Guo Xu has completed the contract renewal, the fans are relieved.

At the press conference for renewal, Guo Xu also explained the reason for buying a house in Los Angeles. "Phoenix is ​​too hot, and Los Angeles is more suitable for vacation. I like to stay in Los Angeles during the holidays. When I retire in the future, I also want to live there. Don't worry about joining the Lakers or the Clippers."

It stayed until the end of September, when Guo Xu returned to Phoenix, the two cats Steve and Bucky stayed in Los Angeles, asking Jason Statham to help watch. Recently, my cousin moved into his house, and the two chatted nonsense every day.

Statham became popular after "Inception", and the film contracts continued, but there was no big production, and they were all of them a type of action movie.
