Pelicans fans are definitely the most excited fans this season.

After successive thrashings of the Thunder and Rockets, they witnessed their home team crush the Jazz, Timberwolves, and Nets into existential doubt in the following week.

Five games, with an average net score of 33.2 points against their opponents!

These games were played like a game!

However, the Pelicans weren't the only strong team; the Cavaliers and Mavericks also had a five-game winning streak to start the season.

The Cavaliers also had an average net score of 15+ against their opponents, and their five-star lineup seemed to be gelling well.

While looking forward to the Pelicans' games, fans were also looking forward to the Pelicans' games against these two teams.

New York headquarters.

Adam Silver had just hung up the phone with Lakers owner Jeanie Buss.

"That woman!"

He cursed angrily, his emotions looking quite bad.

Jeanie had just pressured him again on the phone, and this stinking woman was much more difficult to deal with than her younger brother Jim Buss.

But this is also the scene he is currently facing.

The happier the Pelicans win, the worse his mood is.

The Knicks and Mavericks' affairs are really far from enough for him.

Borgia hesitated there.

Silver adjusted his breathing, and when he saw that Borgia seemed to have something to say, he sat down and motioned for him to speak.

Borgia hesitated for a moment, but after thinking about it, there was no way to keep the fire under wraps, and he would have to know what he needed to know, so he chose to speak.

"I heard from sources that Fox is about to sign a broadcast contract with the Pelicans."

"What?!"

Silver's mood had just calmed down a bit, but this time he jumped up from his chair again.

The Pelicans signing an exclusive broadcast contract is more fatal than any news he's heard before!

This means that even if the Pelicans don't enjoy the benefits of the league in the future, they can survive independently!

And the key is Fox, the media that had a close relationship with him before, betrayed him in the face of interests!

"Stop them!"

Silver almost roared.

Borgia was taken aback, and nodded after recovering.

Just like before when Silver wanted to investigate the Pelicans' yin-yang contract, this multi-billion dollar business is not something that can be stopped just by saying so.

But he has now learned how to work under Silver.

Whether it can be done or not, agree to it first.

Man proposes, God disposes.

After finishing the away game against the Nets and returning to New Orleans, Tang Tian received a call from Benson.

It was to prepare him to sign the contract.

Originally, players would not participate in the broadcast contract between the media and the team.

But because this contract involved Tang Tian's affairs after retirement, he also had to participate.

"We are very grateful that you can trust us again. I believe we will have a very pleasant cooperation in the next ten years or even longer."

The person Fox sent this time had good public relations skills and greeted Tang Tian enthusiastically as soon as he came up.

After considering it for nearly half a month, the Pelicans' strong performance finally made Fox choose to compromise.

They are willing to accept the 10-year, 1.6 billion broadcast contract previously proposed by the Pelicans.

However, it is different from the proposal Tang Tian gave before.

Because Tang Tian is an active player, according to current laws, he cannot sign a contract like Tang Tian being in the Pelicans for 160 million a year, and 60 million if he is not.

That would be equivalent to the players kidnapping the team's interests.

The reason why this broadcast contract involves Tang Tian is because there is a note in the contract that Tang Tian will have the right to purchase 10% of the Pelicans' shares after retirement.

This is what current laws allow, and it is also what Benson and the management team finally agreed to after discussing it.

And the reason why Fox is willing to give in is largely because of this additional clause.

With this clause, Tang Tian becoming a small boss of the Pelicans is almost a certainty, plus his business in New Orleans.

He really has no reason to leave New Orleans, even in the next ten years.

"Fox and the Pelicans reach a 10-year, 1.6 billion broadcast contract."

When this news appeared on major media websites the next day, it caused a major earthquake in the entire NBA league.

"This broadcast contract is sky-high! It's more than the Lakers get every year, right?!"

"That's right, this is the highest-paid broadcast contract in the NBA. The Pelicans are now a wealthy team!"

"TNT and ESPN are bleeding money! The league is also stupid this season, only giving the Pelicans 24 national broadcasts..."

"ESPN is brain-dead, look at their season predictions! The Pelicans are playing so well, they're almost stunned!"

"Hasn't ESPN's reputation improved in recent years? Why is it suddenly retarded? Could it be because of Adam Silver?"

"Definitely, poor TNT, the Big Three have all become Tang-fluffers, but they can't stand their pig teammates!"

"I think Silver may not pass this year's assessment period. The NBA is about to become the Pelicans' league, what's the point of watching it!"

"The shorter the news, the worse Silver is!"

……

Fans were talking about it on social media, but the reaction of the league teams was far greater than that of the fans.

The NBA is just such a cake, and the Pelicans have already grabbed almost eighty or ninety percent of it in the new season.

Now, outside of this cake, the Pelicans have created a new cake themselves.

This is really comparing people to death!

The most angry at this time is Lakers owner Jeanie Buss.

The Lakers have been slumping for years, and Time Warner is putting a lot of pressure on her.

Now the Pelicans are doing this again, really pushing her into a desperate situation.

She doesn't even have the interest to complain to Silver now.

Because she already knows Silver's incompetence, she really regrets supporting Silver's comeback.

"The way to break the situation is to defeat them and bring the spotlight back to our side."

At this time, Linda Rambis was sitting opposite her, and when she saw the flustered look of her best friend, she said calmly.

"How to defeat them?"

Jeanie also knows that the best way is to defeat the Pelicans, but for almost half a month, the Pelicans have done nothing but beat people.

How can the Lakers defeat them?

"I'm talking about next season."

Linda's mind is still relatively clear.

"LeBron, Durant, George, even DeAndre Jordan and Anthony's contracts are expiring, we can form a super team that is enough to defeat them."

Jeanie's originally anxious mood calmed down a little after hearing this.

What Linda said is not completely impossible.

"I am in contact with LeBron's team, and the information I can infer is that if the Cavaliers still fail this season, he will leave Cleveland and is very interested in joining Los Angeles. His home is here now."

Linda's next words made Jeanie a little expectant.

As a consultant for the Lakers for more than 20 years, Linda has been planning many things, and as a best friend, she trusts her very much.

"If LeBron is willing to come, I will contact George and others, even Durant, we will have an excellent opportunity.

But before that, we have to deal with all of our team's garbage contracts, we may need a lot of space at that time."

"I'll let Magic do it right away."

Jeanie was already infinitely expectant when she heard this. Next season, she really wants the Lakers to win the championship!
