Ballman used to be the boss of Microsoft. Naturally, he believes that technology can make the team better. He hired technical analysts with high salaries to advise on the formation of rivers. Technical analysis proved that Zubac's defense was more efficient, but Rivers still stubbornly used harel, which made the Clippers' inside line directly blown up by Jokic.

Rivers' annual salary is as high as100000 dollars, second only to Popovich, and it is also a feat of the Clippers. However, after being eliminated by the Nuggets, Ballmer broke up with the team peacefully after a week of detailed meeting with Rivers. Rivers was surprised, too. He thought he would stay with the Clippers. Ballmer asked Rivers to leave after paying him a sum of compensation, which is at least $20 million of Rivers' salary for the remaining two years. But this is Mao Mao rain for Ballmer, who has a fortune of $70 billion, but there are some things that money can't buy, such as rookie players.
The Clippers have 12 and 13 draft picks in the 20 18 draft. Ballmer strongly advised Clippers management to choose Porter, but Clippers management headed by West chose Alexander and Robinson. Alexander will be a star player in the future, and the Clippers traded him for George. It is a good result to choose a future all-star according to the final draft of two lotto, but Ballmer is uneasy that the team did not choose Potter.

This is exactly what Ballmer deserves to appreciate. Although he is optimistic about Potter, he only gives advice to the management and does not force them to choose Potter. The boss only has the right to suggest but not to decide, which many NBA bosses can't do. The Cavaliers boss forced the team to choose Witsey in the 4th overall position of 20 12 and Bennett in the 4th overall position of 20 13. As a result, the two top draft picks were directly screwed up. 20 18, the sun didn't choose Dansis as the No.1 pick, because the boss likes Aidan. On 20 13, Mavericks coach Nelson chose Brother Alphabet with the team's 13 draft pick, but Cuban chose Olinic and traded him to the Celtics.
When a boss like Cuban has to get involved in the team affairs, you will know how valuable Ballmer is in the management of the team. For example, Ballmer loves basketball very much, but he doesn't interfere with the coach. There is no boss in the NBA who does management work. Heat boss Alesson trusts Riley very much and lets him do all the work of the team. However, in the Heat's games, Areson is rarely seen, so he regards basketball as a business and has no love at all.
