"Damn it, stop messing around. Share some of your tricks, maybe I can use them too."
Gan Guoyang shrugged and said, "Since you want someone to lose their job, the best way to make them not feel sad or complain is to find them another job."
"I recently heard that the Utah Jazz are looking for a point guard. Stockton told me about it, so I suggested he try Utah. I'll put in a good word over there. Also, if he can't make it in the NBA, I pointed him towards another direction; he can play in China's CBA, where they currently lack attacking point guards like him. I have some connections and can help him find playing opportunities in China, and the money won't be bad. It's just that simple."
Bird looked at Gan Guoyang and said, "You're amazing, man. Is this how you control players?"
"Control? What's control? If you make a player lose their job, they'll resent you, but I help them find a job and help you eliminate that resentment. How is that control?"
