The NBA has been suspended because of the outbreak of novel coronavirus, but who is the boss who suffered the most from this suspension? That's the season? More famous? Fertitta, the owner of Houston Rockets. In 2117, Fertitta bought the Rockets from Alexander. At that time, it cost 2.2 billion US dollars, and Fertitta didn't pay the fee in one lump sum, but paid by installments. In fact, at that time, many people thought that Fertitta was a sure winner. After all, the Rockets had a large number of fans at that time, especially in China. It can even be said that the Rockets had no problem in a monopoly in China at that time, because whenever you opened the Tiger-pounce NBA area, the number of fans you saw was basically at every time.
After Yao Ming entered the NBA in 2112, almost all fans in China regarded the Rockets as their home team at that time. However, the operation of the Rockets over the years really disappointed many fans, especially when Yao Ming and McGrady were at their peak, and the biggest contribution of the Rockets should be to sign Artest. However, it was well known that McGrady and Yao Ming were habitually injured that season, and even so, the Rockets reached their peak that season. Pushed the Lakers to the brink in the Western Conference semifinals. However, the relentless injury still destroyed Yao Mai's combination.
When Morey began to rebuild the Rockets, high flyers, who graduated from Massachusetts, really showed his strength in business. In a few years, the Rockets returned to the ranks of strong teams. Perhaps many people have no feeling about Morey's achievement, but it is really amazing. Compare how many seasons other teams, especially the Lakers, who belong to the west, have lost after Kobe's peak, but Morey should not be. Even if you were successful before, in the final analysis, you belong to a successful businessman at most. If a businessman infringes on the rights of the country, then your result will definitely be a moth to a fire. Because of Morey, the Rockets lost all their sponsors in China and were banned.
At present, the market value of the Rockets is about $2.3 billion, although it is still very high, and even if Fertitta sells the Rockets, it can sell for $2.4-2.5 billion. After all, if the new boss changes, the new boss will definitely not miss any old feelings, and you Morey will make me unable to make money. I will definitely fire you as soon as I take over. Even so, however, Fertitta is suffering from blood deficiency.
why do you say that? The NBA lockout, Xiao Hua put forward a suggestion that when the epidemic was initially controlled, the NBA should start empty games, that is, games without spectators. However, the bosses of Fertitta and several other teams stood out against it at the first time, but these teams were basically the top 8 teams in the market value league. Because once the game is empty, it means they have to lose more money, and Fertitta's main business is catering. Look at how miserable the domestic catering is now, and you will know how miserable Fertitta is now.
However, considering the current record of the Rockets and the impact of the Morey incident, if Fertitta doesn't sell the team, then he will definitely make some adjustments to the team. It is also imperative to fire Morey, because only in this way can we start to save the hearts of fans. But firing Morey is just the beginning now, and it is still a very long process to regain the China market.
