Chapter 954: 312: You and I have at least one common goal (ask for monthly votes!)_2

This is Jas Dolan.

After entering the office, Jas Dolan explained his recent behavior to Roger: “As employees of the company, they need constant reminders to stay aware, always know what they should be doing. I don’t know why they’re all so afraid of . As long as an employee is diligent and competent, there’s nothing to be afraid of, right, Roger?”

Roger smiled without saying anything. Yes indeed, the gentlen of the 19th century felt the sa about black slaves.

Jas Dolan has a persistent old farm owner vibe about him, most of the old money on the East Coast carries this scent.

It’s quite an impressive first eting. With this guy’s temperant, even if he told his secretary “I’m really angry right now”, Roger wouldn’t find it strange.

Seeing Roger silent, seemingly uninterested in the topic, Jas Dolan quickly got to the point. After asking the secretary to make coffee for Roger and Fleisher, he began to paint a grand picture in the office.

“You know, this is the most prosperous city in the world. Here, you can easily score valuable endorsents like Michael Jordan. In this city, your every move will beco the focus of the world. If there is any city in the world that suits you, it must be New York. Welco to New York, Roger.”

This picture was painted quite large, depicting Roger as if he were Superman from DC Comics.

Your every move becoming the focus of the world? Then Roger probably needs to blow up Madison Square Garden with a bunch of beepers.

Roger and Eric Fleisher didn’t want to hear such empty talks. The comrcial value of a professional athlete is built on victory, not on the market.

You may say LeBron Jas’s comrcial value was inflated by Nike and Los Angeles, but he has four championships. It doesn’t matter if they’re individual championships or team ones, four is four. Moreover, he indeed won at least one championship with every team he joined.

If LeBron Jas hadn’t won a single championship or joined a team without gaining anything, could he still be so hyped?

Wasn’t the “Decision” in 2011 made because things couldn’t be faked anymore?

So you see, even the most savvy marketer like LeBron Jas needs victories and championships to support his branding.

Michael Jordan did get a lot of endorsents in New York, and what was the result? He retired the following year.

Did Carlo Anthony’s comrcial value rise after coming to New York? No, his influence was not even as great as during his ti with the Nuggets!

Therefore, whether a player has comrcial value is decided by achievents, not the market.

The market rely adds the icing on the cake. If Tim Duncan could win championships in New York, he would definitely be more popular. But if Zach Randolph ca to New York, the New York market would be worthless to him.

Roger ca to New York for the comrcial value, but he’s more concerned about winning opportunities.

Yet Jas Dolan doesn’t ntion it at all.

He knows how to paint a handso picture; this tyrant isn’t as “stupid” as the legend says. In fact, upon careful consideration, Jas Dolan is quite clever. His smartest move was hiring the Baby-Faced Assassin as the Knicks’ general manager in 2003.

Since then, no New Yorker has cursed Jas Dolan’s mother anymore, because everyone fervently curses Isaiah Thomas’s mother.

Can you say this isn’t a smart decision? You just need to say whether it solves the problems fundantally or not.

Roger still didn’t respond to him, so Jas Dolan continued talking.

“As for helpers? Don’t worry, we’ll pick Yao Ming with the No. 1 pick. So compare him to Shawn Bradley; hum, it’s foolish beyond reasoning. If you’ve watched Yao play, you know how extraordinary he is. We firmly believe you and Yao are the next greatest duo in history, New York’s glory belongs to you.”

Eric Fleisher didn’t beat around the bush. As the agent of the most successful basketball player on this planet, he feels completely qualified to ask this question: “Yao is great, but in terms of strengthening, draft or team personnel, my client needs so authority. You know, I just want to ensure my client won’t be impacted by off-court reasons and lose his dominance.”

Jas Dolan’s eyebrows obviously twitched; he was about to frown but realized that might cause Roger to leave, so he tried hard to control his expression.

“Of course, Roger certainly has authority,” the control freak replied with a smile.

“Really? As far as I know, that’s not your style; you’re known for ddling in team operations. Since we’re here, we need an honest conversation, not just a perfunctory ‘of course there’s authority.’ Don’t you think, Mr. Jas Dolan?”

Being questioned, Jas Dolan glanced at Roger behind Eric Fleisher. Since the negotiation began, Roger had been silent, with no expression, just sitting there coldly.

What’s his attitude? Dolan couldn’t capture it at all.

Sotis, capturing a player’s attitude is far more important than capturing an agent’s attitude.

Sotis, having a direct conversation with a player is more efficient than a lengthy discussion with an agent.
