Chapter 371: Chapter 194: From now on, when the Cavaliers lose, LeBron has to take all the responsibility on himself_2

She couldn’t at all fathom why LeBron would make a move.

Su Wan told her an old story, "Before I was sent to Indiana, Danny Ferri specifically had me talk to LeBron to try one last time to resolve our differences. I made two demands: first, to play small forward and let a real Point Guard take over the dribbling; second, for him to get involved in defense."

"That’s it? Then why were you still traded?" Erin initially didn’t understand, then was "stunned," "LeBron refused?"

Seemingly recalling LeBron’s expression at that time, Su Wan laughed, as sardonic as one could be.

And Erin, she now agreed with what Su Wan had said.

The Cavaliers would certainly make moves next.

LeBron’s obsession with controlling the ball exceeded her imagination.

January arrived.

Su Wan received a call from Herbert Simon, inviting him to the Simon family’s New Year party. Hearing that other Pacers players weren’t invited, he turned it down. Simon said, "The mayor will also be there, we have some things we’d like your help with, Su Wan, I hope you can grace us with your presence!"

"I have a condition!"

"What is it?"

"Send an invitation to the other Pacers players too."

"No problem!"

...

Artest was extremely excited when he received the invitation, "This is probably one of Bolis’s most prestigious parties, don’t hold me back, I must let loose tonight."

Little O’Neal was a bit puzzled, "The Simon family has a New Year party every year, the year before last they invited Reggie Miller, last year I don’t even know if there was an invitation, why invite all of us this year?"

In fact, Little O’Neal was mistaken, Su Wan had received two invitations, but he had not attended either time.

"Joking aside, we are about to be people creating a Dynasty team, it’s only natural for the boss to invite us!" Artest’s justification was quite profound.

Rick Carlisle also allowed everyone to relax tonight, but still reiterated earnestly, "Don’t touch what you shouldn’t, remember your identities, you are NBA players, not..."

Artest interrupted him, "Don’t worry, coach, we definitely..."

"Just remember what Rick said, if anyone causes trouble at the party, I’ll definitely hold them accountable!" It was Su Wan who spoke up at this moment, emphasizing Rick Carlisle’s point with a somewhat frightening tone, even Artest was taken aback.

Su Wan had his reasons for being stern, after all, it was a party he had secured with the intention of helping everyone unwind.

If something actually did go wrong, his good intentions would have led to a bad outcome...

That was not something he could tolerate.

Artest’s attitude naturally made him uneasy.

But he believed since he had made his stance clear, he wasn’t afraid those guys would cause any problems.

His credibility within the Pacers was now even higher than Reggie Miller’s.

When the party was about to start, Su Wan arrived at the hotel hosting the event with his invitation in hand. After verifying his identity and just entering, he saw Artest flirting with some glamorously dressed women.

He then understood why Artest was so excited.

The girls here were indeed of a higher caliber compared to those at typical parties.

And they looked expensive.

The moment Herbert saw Su Wan, he walked over to him. After a warm greeting, he introduced him to Bolis’s mayor. Then Su Wan learned why the mayor wanted to see him.

For the NBA All-Star Star Weekend!

The last time Bolis hosted the Star Weekend was in the 1980s, almost 30 years had gone by without them getting another chance to host. This time the NBA All-Star was even set in Las Vegas, a city without an NBA team, and Bolis’s mayor was feeling anxious. He hoped Su Wan could lead the charge to help the Pacers get another opportunity to host the Star Weekend.

Indeed, it was a big business.

It might only be a short three days, but the GDP generated in about a week around it was in the billions.

It was a very mature business chain.

Even a big city like Los Angeles was vying to host the Star Weekend, which speaks volumes about how desirable an opportunity it was.

However, compared to other cities, Bolis really had no advantages, hence the chance to host the Star Weekend was still far off in the future.

Keep in mind, the League currently has 30 teams, but in the 90s and even the 80s, there were only about 23 teams, so technically it should have been Bolis’s turn again. The fact that it still hadn’t happened only had one explanation:

David Stern didn’t want to host the Star Weekend in Bolis.

Su Wan nodded, it was also a reflection of his own influence, there was no reason to refuse.

After this matter was more or less settled, Su Wan looked around at the party to make sure the Pacers players weren’t causing any mischief, then he planned on leaving. Not that there weren’t any willing women.

But just a few days ago, he had helped Yui Aragaki max out her yoga talents, and after expending some energy on that, he wasn’t in a hurry.

Plus, he now understood why players like Odom and Harden liked someone like Kloe Kardashian.

Ordinary women really couldn’t withstand an athlete’s force.

Of course, his aesthetic hadn’t evolved in such an extreme direction.

But now he did have certain standards for derrieres, to avoid disappointment.

Among the women throwing themselves at him, there were a few who met his standards, and he did give them a hands-on examination, but found them all flash and no substance, so he let go.
