"New York Daily News" reporter Mike Lupica said in the latest report that Nets boss Cai Chongxin is a rich man who is easily deceived by stars and management. Kyrie Irving, Sean Max and Steve Nash are just fooling Boss Cai's huge checks on the Nets. In this summary review of the three seasons of Tsai’s acquisition of the Nets, Mike Lupica described Tsai as a rich man who is easily fooled by stars.
"The problem of the Nets is much more serious than that of Irving. The boss Cai Chongxin looks like a rich man who is easily deceived (the reporter used the word patsy, and the description of this "confused guy" has to be said to be more accurate)." Mike Lupica said, "Kevin Durant and Irving have never really proved their basketball stars, but they have absolute voice in the Nets. Nash is an inexperienced head coach. After two seasons, he has not figured out the fixed rotation but can get the second highest salary in the league. Sean Max was completely funding the 76ers when he traded James Harden."
What does this Nets look like now?
They want to become the Eastern version of the Lakers, but they will never be able to become a dynasty giant team like the Lakers. However, the boss Tsai Chongxin allowed his star to interfere in the team's management like LeBron James, and the star he signed did not have the dominance of James, allowing the Nets to win everything on the basketball court, and the box office appeal also made the Barclays Center's operation bleak.
Irving is a self-indulgent and self-concerned basketball player, he is more like President Mandela on the basketball court. When the Nets were swept out by the Celtics, Irving did not reflect on his problems at the first time, but asked to manage the team with Tsai Chongxin and general manager Sean Max. Durant also stood up to defend Irving immediately, and said that their relationship was based on each other's personal relationship, and basketball games were just icing on the cake.
Durant's speech is undoubtedly to tell people that the Nets are just a place where they live together, which explains their performance in the first round: they did not do everything they could to stop Jason Tatum from helping the Nets win the game. After all, in Durant and Irving's view, their friendship exceeds the Nets' victory or defeat and championship goals. "It is obvious that Irving and Durant did not regard the Nets' winning as the most important thing at all." Mike Lupica continued, "Although the boss Cai Chongxin is willing to continue to pay luxury taxes for the Nets, he is just a rich man. The CEO, general manager, head coach and superstar he hired after he acquired the Nets were like those who conspired to take his money."
The Heat formed the Big Three of James, Devin Wade and Chris Bosh back then. The team's absolute voice was Pat Riley, and even James could only listen to his arrangements. Successful teams such as Celtics, Bucks, Spurs, Lakers and Warriors are all like this. The team has superstars and discipline, and does not allow stars to overtake the team. This is also the reason for the Lakers' recent failure. They have allowed Ricci Paul and James to control the team.
In the field of professional sports, the Nets boss lacks professionalism, and the management team he formed also lacks experience and professionalism. The Nets star does not have basic professional qualities. Whether it is Irving or Ben Simmons, they care more about their own comfort. "Irving and Simmons just use basketball as a money-making job, and the Nets owners are just the target of their easy access to huge checks," said Mike Lupica.
"Why did Durant leave the Warriors? Because Drummond Green does not allow players to undermine the Warriors' discipline, Durant knows that the Warriors don't like his singles game." Mike Lupica said, "Once upon a time, Tsai Chongxin showed toughness, but he quickly surrendered and let Irving come back to play as a part-time job. From that time on, Harden understood everything about the Nets and was sure that this team had no hope of competing for the championship - although Harden may not be able to pass the Heat."
" Cai Chongxin and Sean Max have been appeased by Irving, the weak boss and team executives, allowing Ben Simmons to continue to indulge himself after the deal comes. "Mike Lupica said, "Now people know that the Nets are a team that is more abnormal than the Knicks. Tsai Chongxin has become a more confused boss than James Dolan. Players, executives and coaches know how to easily get huge checks from him.
