Gamblers pursue not only winning, but also the immersion of “being able to play all the time. When they lose the bet, even if they are temporarily annoyed and swear “this is the last one”, there will always be a next one.
Sun boss Ishbia is such a crazy gambler.
Gambling Kevin Durant failed to win the championship? Ishbia’s “next” was to personally fire coach Monty Williams and hire Frank-Vogel’s as the new coach. The effect of this personnel change has not been tested yet. Ishbia has Plus-sized more bets to continue gambling: The sun will send out multiple rounds of signing, multiple first-round swap rights, Chris Paul, landry-Shamet, in exchange for Bradley-bill.
Since the specific details of the transaction are not clear, whether DeAndre Ayton will be sent away in another transaction in exchange for depth to be determined, and the Sun’s subsequent recruitment has not started yet, now it is difficult to analyze whether the prospect of the sun is good or bad.
The deal itself is still a gamble. After the two Gamble deals, the image of Ishbia’s “new generation of crazy boss” has been established. Like Mark Cuban, he was burning a tenacious flame of competition in his heart. He and Lake, Ballmer, Cai Chongxin and so on formed a crazy boss circle. The new labor agreement cannot stop the camp from expanding. The Bucks, Lakers and Celts are also throwing money. The former “crazy boss” Cuban is returning, and the Nuggets boss Stan kerenke is expected to enter the game.
After the tax system went online, the league’s intention to suppress the local tyrant team was clear, but the Knicks boss Dolan, the Lakers boss Jerry Buss, the Lone Ranger boss Cuban, and the pioneer boss Paul Allen didn’t care at all, they used their powerful “banknote ability” to compete with the tax system.
In terms of assets, the Bass family does not rank high in NBA, but old Bass, who is obsessed with superstars, is willing to spend money for stars and champions. In addition to the 2005-06 season and the 2006-07 season, when old bass was alive, the Lakers were all tax teams in other seasons. In 2009 and 2010, the Lakers won two consecutive championships. Old bass paid 7.19 million dollars and 21.43 million dollars tax respectively. In the 2012-13 season, the Lakers who formed the luxury four Giants paid 29.26 million dollars in tax.
Kuban is called “crazy boss”. One of the main reasons is that he doesn’t blink when he spends money. From the 2002-03 season to the 2011-12 season, the Lone Ranger has paid tax for 9 consecutive seasons, in three seasons, the tax exceeded 23 million dollars. In the 2010-11 season, Lone Ranger paid 18.92 million dollars tax for the championship.
The crazy investment of old bass and Cuban has been rewarded by the champion, and Doran and Allen have become the enemy against their background.
Dolan paid tax for 7 consecutive years, 11 times in 13 seasons, of which 45.14 million dollars were spent in the 2006-07 season, but the Knicks could not even enter the finals without saying that they won the championship.
Allen once broke the 51.97 million-dollar tax that surprised people in the 2002-03 season. Taking into account the close to 29 million-dollar tax in the 2003-04 season, Allen paid more than 90 million-dollar tax in two years, as a result, only one first round tour was exchanged and one playoff was missed.
Old bass and Allen drove to the west one after another. Dolan and Cuban also bid farewell to the money-throwing model (Cuban 2022-23 season only returned by exchanging Owen). The old version of the crazy boss’s four Giants was shattered. Since the 2014-15 season, the boss’s Kingyuan competition has basically become a two-person change for Warrior boss Lake cloth and Knight boss Gilbert. In those years, the Warriors had a strong edge. Many teams chose to avoid their edge, and only the Knights threw money crazily.
The Cavaliers entered the finals for four consecutive years, with the tax amount of more than 50 million US dollars for two times. In the 2015-16 season, they exchanged the tax amount of 54 million US dollars for the first championship in young pioneer team history.
Warriors won the championship in the 2014-15 season and the 2016-17 season by coincidence of taking advantage of the opportunity of the times without paying the tax. However, it cost 32.26 million dollars to win the championship in the 2017-18 season, and the subsequent 2018-19 season hit 51.49 million dollars.
With Ballmer’s investment plus-sized, Cai Chongxin entered the board, and the camp of the crazy boss was expanding. The 2021-22 season is the starting point. Warriors hit 0.17 billion yuan tax crazily, 97.71 million dollars yuan tax basketable nets, and the Clippers cost 83.11 million dollars. Although the Lakers did not enter the playoffs, they also paid $45.12 million to record Young Pioneer team history. The stag also paid $52 million tax. Those teams who did not pay the tax paid each gave a lot of money.
The 2022-23 season is definitely the happiest season for non-tax teams. Nine teams pay tax, which is exaggerated.
The Warriors of Lake cloth paid 0.163 billion dollars, the Clippers of Ballmer paid 0.14 billion dollars, the stag of edons and hasram family was 83.86 million dollars, and the Celts of grusbeck were 69.14 million dollars, the Lone Ranger still paid $56.7 million before entering the playoffs, while the Sun paid $52.75 million. Jenny buss was always criticized for not willing to invest, but her Lakers also paid 35.94 million dollars in tax, paying more than 80 million dollars in two years. In basketable nets, the crazy tax reduction operation still paid 14.5 million dollars, while the new science champion Nuggets paid 17.3 million dollars.
Compared with the old era, the new era undoubtedly requires more courage and financial resources to pay taxes. There was no super tax in the old times, and the tax rate was one to one. The new era adopts hierarchical tax and has the concept of super tax. After the new labor agreement takes effect, there will be more restrictions on high-input teams.
However, the continuous release of the harsh system has not dispelled the enthusiasm of the strong team for crazy investment. Basketable nets may withdraw from the tax payment camp next season due to lack of ability to win the championship, but Warriors, Clippers, Suns, Lakers, Nuggets, Celtics, Bucks, and Lone Ranger will still be tax paying teams, and the tax amount of each team is likely to start at least 50 million dollars. 76 people, the heat is likely to become a tax team. From this point of view, the exchange of the sun for Bill was just to add another fire to the Kingyuan competition for hegemony.
After the crazy operation of the sun, they have already bet on the future. Their first round of signing has either been sent out or turned into an exchange right. What Ishbia wants is only the result of winning the first championship of Young Pioneer Team history as soon as possible.
Ishbia’s gambler behavior has been questioned, especially under the background that the Nuggets won by patiently building teams. However, there was never a fixed template to build the champion army, and the Sun chose a more adventurous path. Ishbia is willing to throw money. In this case, the Sun fans are much happier than the fans of many teams.
Over the years, there are a lot of bosses shouting the slogan “not afraid of tax”. There are only a few who are really willing to smash money to win the championship. Like rocket boss fairtita and Grizzly boss Robert Pella, they all shout slogans without throwing money. Especially Pera, his assets ranked 4th in the NBA boss circle, but in the two seasons after the rise of the team, Pera did not have any bold operation and did not take a penny of tax.
To put it bluntly, life is a choice. When you finish your decision, you may find that there are better choices at the beginning. However, you cannot try all possibilities in a limited time. All you can do is try your best to experience some of them.
Ishbia has made a choice, and the voices of doubt have not changed his decision. What is the result? You must experience it before you know it.
