Major media immediately broke the news that Yang Rui was negotiating with Rockets owner Alexander and Warriors owner Chris Cohan. Even if Facebook doesn't publicize it, other media also pay attention to Yang Rui's whereabouts, and it is impossible to hide it.

Online, most fans predict that Yang Rui will go to the Warriors, citing the proximity to Silicon Valley and Los Angeles.

There is also speculation that Yang Rui or Thomas will buy the Warriors outright, for whom the Warriors are "cheap", like buying a toy, which is extremely bad news for Lacob, who called Cohan last July.

Lacob and Peter Guber have recruited a group of investors interested in entering the sports world and have formed a consortium, but their financial resources are not comparable to Facebook's.

At this time, Yang Rui said in an interview that he was not interested in buying a team.

"As a coach, I already feel too busy to lead the team in 82 regular season games plus playoffs, how can I have the energy to be a boss? I just want to get a few more championship rings and get involved in the NBA, and if I want to buy a team, I bought it in 2003 or '04, not now. ”

As soon as this statement came out, more team owners had an idea, who wouldn't want to make money by cooperating with Facebook? The rights to broadcast the Facebook ball game alone are a lot of money.

There is a news analysis that Yang Rui wants to stay in Los Angeles the most, and the Clippers have a great chance to cooperate with him. Sterling also contacted Yang Rui again, but was unsurprisingly rejected.

Yang Rui didn't even be polite to him. "Donald, if you want me to join the Clippers, you have to show enough sincerity first, and now that the Clippers have a former employee suing you, and one is preparing to sue you, how can I work with you with peace of mind?"

Baylor took the Clippers to court last February, along with owner Raheem Sterling and the entire NBA league, and is still on trial.

Dunleavy was fired by the Clippers in February this year, and he signed a five-year contract worth $22 million with the team, which is only the fourth year of the contract, which means that the Clippers should continue to pay Dunleavy a year's salary, but Sterling does not want to give it, and Dunleavy is ready to sue.

Sterling was blocked and couldn't go on, so he hung up the phone after a few casual conversations.

Then, Sterling, who was unwilling to give up, took the initiative to contact Thomas, the Clippers have an excellent geographical location, Sterling does not want to waste, judging from Yang Rui's move to buy "Little Versailles", he definitely does not want to move to Golden State.

Yang Rui finished his work, and handed over the rest to his friends to fool. They are so determined by the Clippers that they don't think about other teams.

In a few years, Yang Rui's vision will be the same as ordinary people, losing the advantage of foresight, and then he wants to brush up on his sense of existence, and the best choice is to retire as the boss of the rapids.

Thomas's focus is on Facebook, and Yang Rui's focus will be on the Clippers, and with his vast knowledge of basketball, if not presciently, he will definitely be a great owner and dominate Los Angeles in the future.

The 09-10 regular season entered the second half of the season, with the Cavaliers topping the East and the Spurs leading the league in the West.

With the addition of Battinger, George Hill, and Richard Jefferson, the Spurs have strengthened on the wing and on the perimeter.

Duncan's stats dropped, averaging just 17.2 points, 10.1 rebounds and 3 assists per game, but he only played 31 minutes per game and had Luis Scola share the offensive pressure.

Scola averaged 15.5 points, 6.5 rebounds and 2.1 assists per game, and his low feet were better than Duncan's. Since Scola has been off the bench this season, starting with veteran McDyce, he has already locked in the best sixth man in advance.

The Spurs' two-game win over the Cavaliers in the regular season stimulated the Cavaliers' management, and they made another big trade in the middle of the game, trading "Big Z" Eagleskas for the Wizards' second-in-command Antoine Jamison.

The strength of the two is completely unequal, Big Z has been reduced to a bench with 7.4 points and 5.4 rebounds, but Jamison is a star with an average of 20.5 points, 8.8 rebounds and 1.3 assists per game in the Wizards.

What's even more outrageous is that Big Z was directly cut by the Wizards, and the Cavaliers re-signed Big Z as a substitute with a base salary, which caused dissatisfaction among many teams in the league, and countless fans also called it a shady deal.

In fact, this deal can happen thanks to the Wizards "General" Arenas.

Due to gambling debts, Arenas and Critanton engage in a farce in the locker room, and Arenas is revealed to have drawn a gun and pointed it at each other. During the subsequent investigation, Arenas was found to have stored four unloaded firearms in the locker room and was not licensed to carry them.

Both were suspended, and Wizards management was ready to mess up and wanted to trade Arenas, so they sent away his good friend first.

After the trade, the Cavaliers put together a starting lineup of Morehelms, Anthony Parker, James, Jamison, and O'Neal. The benches include Tony Douglas, Gay, Giammario Moon, Ben Wallace, Vallejo, Big Z and others.

The media generally believes that the reinforced Cavaliers will definitely be able to break through in the East and have the strength to fight against any team.

Not to be outdone, the Celtics, who finished fourth in the East in the mid-term, also strengthened by signing Rasheed Wallace, who was cut, veteran Mike Finley, and point guard Nate Robinson from the Knicks.

Experts believe that this year is the last chance for the Green Army's Big Three to win the championship, and the Big Three have all begun to decline as they get older.

The Hawks also have a chance to win the championship, and they are in second place in the East.

But in Yang Rui's opinion, the Hawks are a little worse than he thought, with Devin Harris, Joe Johnson, Josh Smith, Marvin Williams, Jamal Crawford, and Bosh on the team, but they can't compete for the Cavaliers.

This reflects the importance of a superstar, the Eagles are a few second-rate stars together, even if Joe Johnson is the strongest key man, he is not the perfect core, his scoring ability is not strong enough, the victory is stable, and he is more suitable to be a second-rate player.

The Magic are third in the East, and after the departure of Turkglou, the strength has dropped significantly. The finals were brutally abused by the Lakers, and the mentality of the players has changed, and they can't find the feeling of a strong team.

The Lakers are currently ranked second in the West, and the "drug combination" is still the strongest star combination in the league, but there are not many people who are optimistic about them winning the championship.

Kobe Bryant has caused a huge controversy this season, averaging 27 points, 5.4 rebounds and 5 assists per game, the best on the team, but the Lakers don't have the invincible feeling of the playoffs, and they often have to be anxious to the end.

Kobe Bryant hit 5 shots, but the comments on the Internet were "he entered garbage time earlier", "compared to the ability of his teammates, Kobe Bryant is the first in the league".

Yao Ming's statistics fell to 18.3 points, 11.2 rebounds, 3 assists and 1.7 blocks, Iguodala averaged 14.5 points, 4.4 rebounds and 3.4 assists per game, and Odom barely scored double-doubles, and the statistics all declined to varying degrees.

Brooks is no longer a star, averaging 10 points per game to be the team's best sixth man, and in the playoffs last season, he averaged 16.8 points and 4 assists per game.

The most unlucky was Louis Williams, who started as a soy sauce player, averaging only 7.2 points per game, and his shooting percentage dropped to 40%, and his task was to pass the ball to Kobe Bryant over half court and pull away and wait for the pass.

Lowe has requested a trade from management, and was forced to stay without good leverage in the medium term.

Byron Scott was also questioned, and it was found that he would let the star play alone, with little to no tactics, and it would be difficult for the Lakers to win 60 in the regular season.

Yang Rui did not coach the team, but compared with Scott, there were more fans praising him.
