Basketball: starting from the nerve knife

Chapter 304: They Give Too Much

The second pick in the first round was the famous “Water La” Russell, and of course, he still made it to the All-Star.

The third pick is Jahir Okafor, whose talent is fine, the only problem is being selected by the Philadelphia 76ers. Over the years, the Philadelphia 76ers have cultivated rookies with only two words: casual.

No matter what kind of performance you can play in your rookie season, you only give one season of time, and after one season, then…

There is a “talented rookie” pleased.

Vividly interprets what it means to “no girl is always 18, but every year there is a girl who is 18”!

The good news is that this time the Philadelphia 76ers were the second pick in the first round, and they took the “water pull.”

As for Okafor, he was chosen by Li Wan’s former old club.

The fourth pick in the first round was signed by the Bobcats of “Boss Joe”.

“Boss Joe” originally wanted to choose Mario Herzonia, but he held back and chose Latovella “genius inside” Kristapus Porzingis, who he was not optimistic about!

This is an interior player who is 2.21 meters tall and has the same mobility as the average small forward.

But the weak figure in Michael Jordan’s opinion must be water…

But in order to verify whether his idea was correct or not, he finally chose this guy!

Li Wan was stunned when he knew that Michael Jordan chose Porzingis.

He never expected that Jordan’s vision would suddenly come to the level of Phil Jackson!

The seventh pick in the first round appeared “Huaxia elements”, don’t get me wrong, not a Huaxia player was selected in this pick, but a high school graduate in order to make money, chose to play in the CBA “The Strongest High School Student in the United States” was selected in this pick.

He is Mudia.

The No. 1 high school student in the United States!

In order to treat his family, he chose to go to Huaxia CBA after graduating from high school last year…

This experience is obviously unforgettable for him, before participating in the draft, he showed his suit to the media, only to see the “Chinese national flag” embroidered on the inside.

“I hope to be a great player like Li Wan, even if I can’t reach that height, I hope I can try to prove myself!” This is his pre-match interview.

It was also this passage that overshadowed other candidates in the limelight on the domestic media side.

Then came the special guard pick of the 13th pick in the first round, and Phoenix management selected a guard Devin Booker in this pick.

This choice was undoubtedly successful, although Booker had not yet reached Kobe’s level before Li Wan crossed, he was indeed a representative player of the Mesozoic era.

Among the class of 2015, he is even better!

If the 2015 season is rescheduled, he will be at least in the top 3…

After that, there aren’t many familiar names for Lee, and the 27th pick in the first round was the Cleveland Cavaliers’ draft pick this season, and they chose Larry Nance Jr. with this pick.

As the “second generation of stars”, Larry Nance Jr., like his father Larry Nance, plays with the body.

He is a positive and technical interior player.

In an increasingly fast league, players like Larry Nance Jr. are becoming more and more popular.

It’s just that as far as Lewan knows, Larry Nance Jr. didn’t play out. The level of his entire career is at best a qualified substitute.

Of course, among the remaining rookies to choose from, this is already considered a “quality product”!

The 2015 draft was not small, and there were “talented players”, but there were only a few. Let’s just say that in the second round of this year, a total of 4 teams gave up their signing rights.

It can be seen that there are really not many “second-round potential stocks” worth betting on this year.

The Cavaliers were one of the teams that gave up their second-round signings.

Even if Li Wan has a “heavenly eye”, he really can’t find any “draft beads”, let alone their second-round draft pick or the 57th pick in the second round.

The end result is abandonment…

In fact, this is also one of the rare drafts in the NBA that does not play a second-round break.

In the second round of the previous draft, even if it did not reach the All-Star level, there were still two or three ordinary starting levels, and this one, it was all “passing eyes”.

The news that Li Wan had started training spread throughout the league.

This has aroused the vigilance of many supergiants, and they have also turned on the “penance” mode.

ESPN cut the video of the report together, saying: “This is probably the most sweaty group of multi-millionaires in the world!” ”

Barkley said: “Li Wan is like a catfish, so that all the super giants dare not relax, they don’t want to be ruled by Li Wan, this is their only way to resist: that is, to make themselves stronger!” ”

“I’m already looking forward to the new season!”

The better the players, the more exciting the game will be!

To say whether the atmosphere of this alliance is good or not, it really depends on what the “leading big brother” does.

For example, after the “peak giant huddle” mode was turned on in 2010, the league was a whole huddle, so that in those years, there were few all-stars on the team, and they were embarrassed to go out to say hello.

For example, in 2023, how outrageous is that who kneels and kneels out of the league’s highest number of free throws averaging nearly 30 free throws per game for the Lakers? Let’s just say that the number of free throws in each game is more than a dozen on the opposite side, and this is not counting the final situation has been decided, and the referee symbolically fills the whistle for the opponent.

It is also since he “kneeled” to lead the Lakers back to the play-off stage, and the league’s voices complaining about the unfair whistle have gradually increased.

Anyone who feels that their whistle is not as good as the opposite side, from the players to the head coach will go down.

From the Suns to the Timberwolves…

This is the person who should set an example and did not take the lead, disrupted the atmosphere of the entire alliance, and hoped that his side could “8 to 5”.

And now, Li Wan, who is so diligent, has also let the supergiants of the entire league begin to train hard.

But everyone who has not yet entered the training ground, there must be such a paragraph under their social software: Li Wan, who has won 5 championships, is still so desperate, how can you be embarrassed to rest there?

Give me practice, practice to death!

When you retire, there is time to rest!

Among the various reports about star training, July 1 is also slowly approaching.

Mike Conley, who was in full swing in training, received a call from his agent.

“Dude, Chris wants to talk to us, he wants to meet…”

Mike Conley said with a resolute expression: “There is no need for this, just tell him what we think, we hope to trade to Cleveland!” ”

This was decided when Li Wan was eliminated in the Eastern Conference finals.

Compared to Li Wan winning the championship and joining the Cavaliers, this is the best opportunity at this moment! It just so happens that his contract with the Grizzlies has also expired, and he has absolute autonomy at this time…

So he asked his agent to tell Wallace what he thought.

Originally, there was no contact for two days, and he thought that Wallace had begun to discuss with Griffin how to sign first and then change. Of course he was willing to leave something for Memphis before leaving.

After all, Memphis was the place where he was selected in the draft and groomed.

After spending so much money and so much effort, you have to leave something behind, right?

Wouldn’t anyone leave without leaving valuable chips for their parent team?

No way?

No way?

That person is also too egoistic.

Just listening to the agent’s words, it seems that Wallace is not dead hearted, and wants to talk again.

Seashell……

Mike Conley felt compelled to re-examine his ability as an agent.

As if sensing Mike Conley’s dissatisfaction, and the agent was not selling off, he quickly spoke: “Well, Chris Wallace provided us with a 5-year 153 million maximum salary contract…”

“Much, how much?”

Mike Conley almost bit his tongue, he thought he had misheard.

The broker repeated: “153 million in 5 years!” ”

He wasn’t surprised by Conley’s reaction, because when Chris Wallace said the quote, he had similar reaction.

Although everyone knows that with the NBA signing a new broadcast contract, the league has officially entered the “era of big coins”, but Mike Conley never expected that he could sign such an expensive contract.

153 million 5 years…

The starting salary is more than 26 million!

I deserve…

Is it?

How much does Chris Wallace love me?

Mike Conley’s original determination to go to Cleveland suddenly became less determined…

NBA players are, to put it bluntly, a bunch of workers.

Really going to give up 153 million for the championship, Mike Conley is afraid that ten years later, he will say to himself… There was once a sincere contract in front of me, which I did not cherish!

It’s really not that he doesn’t want to play with his brother, it’s not that he doesn’t have a “championship dream”, but …

“This league is too impetuous, impetuous league, impetuous players, everything is more and more commercial, I have been thinking, as players, in such times, what should we do, what should we stick to, and then I finally figured it out, is to stick to…”

“Speak human language!”

Another “online hot chat” time of the “Ohio Four”, because of Auden’s “Ready to see you in Cleveland”, Mike Conley talked a lot.

Unable to resist, Cook interrupted him.

Mike Conley coughed lightly twice, and his tone was slightly embarrassed: “He gave too much… Let’s wait a few years and play ‘brother basketball’ together! ”

Cook rolled his eyes, his face full of contempt: “How much money, just bought it?” Can you forget the joy of brothers playing together? ”

Mike Conley didn’t hide it, stretched out his hand and gestured: “153 million in 5 years!” ”

“Much, how much?”

This time it was Cook’s turn to tie his tongue in knots.

He immediately understood Conley.

Medium situation…

He stomps him numb too!

The situation is similar on Auden’s side, although not as crazy as Chris Wallace gave, but the Trail Blazers also offered a 4-year, 100 million contract.

The starting salary is at least more than 23 million.

No one is stuck with money, especially with so much money.

In fact, Li Wan also hopes that the “Ohio Four” joining forces can be postponed until the team goes to Columbus.

And after not winning the championship last season, he teamed up with Mike Conley and Greg Auden, who were in the playing year, so didn’t he also become that person?

Li Wan is not a person with double standards.

At the beginning, he was so disdainful of such a thing as “peak huddling”, and naturally he would not do this kind of thing.

Moreover, it is also very different from his personal plan.

In his plan, the next championship was won by his own cultivation of “Pippen”, plus a group of good quality main players.

Wiggins trained hard after losing the Eastern Conference Finals.

Before Li Wan started training, he had already entered training mode.

Looking at that posture, it is not at all like the original “wolfberry brother”, but a bit of a “hot-blooded brother” posture.

So, the enlightenment of rookies is really important.

Let’s put it this way, if LeBron James, a rookie at the time, had gone to the Pistons instead of the Cavaliers, what might have become!

Wiggins, who is so energetic, will inevitably grow faster than the original, even if it is difficult to become a “second master” with quality and quantity next season.

It works better than last season, that’s for sure!

And before this “Pippen” grows up, he also has a “Pippen” with a long neck on the inside.

Chris Bosh met with Lee Wan after the season to talk about his treatment.

Thrombosis is about the decisiveness of treatment.

Just like Ingram later, as soon as the thrombosis was found, he actively treated it, and soon returned to the field, although the thrombus was not completely eliminated, but it was also controlled, and there would be no major consequences that were difficult to contain.

The current Chris Bosh is similar.

It was discovered early, coupled with the announcement of season reimbursement immediately, the treatment progress is gratifying, and the situation has been steadily controlled in the 5 months from February to now.

Continue to treat aggressively, even if not return this year. By January next year at the latest, he should be able to return to the field and become Li Wan’s most loyal and reliable team second-in-command!

Li Wan does not lack “Pippen”.

He is also full of confidence in winning the championship next season with his current squad.

Originally, I didn’t know how to speak, but now the general manager of the team where these two guys are located gives so much, and the problem has been perfectly solved.

“That’s good news, two, but you have to buy me a car, and I am saddened that you promised me something but couldn’t do it…”

Well……

By the way, Li Wan also knocked on a car.

No, it’s two!

These two people signed the “billion-dollar contract” and readily agreed.

And they’re all very generous.

One for Marasati and one for Porsche.

Of course, compared to the contract they are about to sign, these two cars are simply not worth mentioning!

July 1 arrived as scheduled.

The Grizzlies also officially announced the signing of Mike Conley for 5 years and 153 million for the first time.

The news detonated the entire Union.

It’s the same as the original…

Many media outlets don’t understand why Chris Wallace would give Mike Conley such a big contract.

Even if his 23 plus 7 per game is currently the number one in the league, it can be called the number one.

Can……

A starting salary of 26 million…

That’s the price that only “top supergiants” can get!

Mike Conley is certainly powerful, but his hard power has not reached the level of the league’s supergiant!

At the moment, this offensively enhanced version of Mike Conley is so questioned.

Not to mention the doubts that the original Conley suffered when he got this contract.

Lewis understood this matter… The contract is there, the numbers are also written by the management, he is willing to give so much, I can’t always … Don’t sign it, right?

Subsequently, news of Auden’s completion of the contract extension was also reported from Portland.

His 4-year, $100 million contract sounds exaggerated, but in terms of outside discussion, it is not as big as Mike Conley’s suffer.

In this era of less and less “traditional insiders”, Greg Auden can really be described as a “gem”.

The statistics of 22.3 points and 11.3 rebounds per game are also the top inside figures in the league.

Plus, his mobility doomed him to be eliminated from the “small-ball era”.

Not to mention that the alliance has just narrowed the “three-second zone”, which is another wave of big strengthening for him!

4 years 100 million, he is fully capable of taking it.

In addition to renewing Auden with 4 years and 100 million, the Blazers also renewed Aldridge with the same 4 years and 100 million.

In this way, the core roster of the Blazers for the next 4 years is also officially confirmed.

They did not mean to follow the trend group “small lineup” to play fast attack, they still insisted on using the “twin towers” as the core lineup.

In fact, they also have reasons to insist, if it were not for Jeremy Lin’s injury, they would not have fallen to the eighth position in the West, and it is very likely that they would be the top four in the West.

As long as all players are healthy, they are the giants of the West, and Aldridge and Oden are both at the peak of their careers, so what else is there to change?

Obviously, it is better to continue to persevere!

However, as soon as the free market opened, three “billion-dollar contracts” broke out, and this summer’s madness exceeded many people’s expectations.

It is said that a man surnamed Pi learned about this and complained to his friends sourly: These cubs just caught up with a good time, which is like my time!

It’s just that the friend of the man surnamed Pi should have heard him complain many times, and opened his mouth mercilessly: “At that time, the boss and Michael advised you, you don’t have to sign a long contract yourself, who can blame this?” ”

As soon as he said it, the man surnamed Pi could no longer hold back and cried.

After crying, it was another drunkenness, and I didn’t even know if my wife would come back at night.

After these three “billion-dollar contracts”, the free market temporarily returned to calm.

On July 1, Tim Duncan announced through the media that he was fighting for another year.

When Li Wan ate this melon, he was a little surprised.

Because the original Tim Duncan chose to retire early despite having one year left on his contract, the Spurs announced that they would cut him after he announced his retirement, so that he only had to pay 5.26 million in salary, which was half of what he was supposed to pay.

Popovich used the five million saved …

After renewing Leonard’s contract, he signed Aldridge…

Therefore, this time, because Aldridge directly renewed his contract with the Blazers, Popovich did not catch this “big fish”, and only needed to renew Leonard in the summer, there was not so much to spend money on… Tim Duncan chose to fight for another year?

Is that?

If that’s the case…

Wow!

Popovich’s PUA skill, simply!

Fortunately, the “Stone Buddha” is a man…

If he were a woman!

But if Popovich is a good gambler, he must not be tricked into taking pictures and taking them to pay off gambling debts?

When the news of Leonard’s extension to the Spurs broke, it caused a lot of buzz in the league, and his contract was 5 years and $94.34 million, of which the 2019-2020 season was a player option.

Equal to 4 plus 1 contract.

The reason why this contract has caused heated discussions is also simple, it is because of the amount of the contract.

As far as Popovich’s scrupulous appearance is concerned, Ken gives a contract of 100 million, which is destined to be big news.

At the same time, this contract is also officially announced, Leonard will be the “absolute core” of the Spurs in the next 4~5 years.

The media couldn’t help but think of the summer when Leonard had just entered the draft. Popovich traded his favorite George Hill from the Pacers for the 15th pick in the first round, selecting the equally “shy” skeletal surprise.

At that time, many people did not understand Popovich’s actions, but now, they have to admit that ginger is still old and spicy!

George Hill’s later performances with the Pacers proved that he could not grow into a qualified team leader. But Leonard proved with his performance during this period that he has the ability.

With a first-round 15th pick in exchange for the team’s future, it’s not crazy, what is it?

A flurry of praise was sent to Popovich …

At the same time, there was finally a movement from the Cavaliers management.

With a $3.5 million veteran contract, they signed Paul Pierce, who had just regained his freedom in the New York Knicks.

“Li Wan, I’m coming to you again!”

Youdao is:

It’s hard to get started!

When he first defected to Li Wan, Paul Pierce was all kinds of nervous, all kinds of overwhelmed, afraid that something was wrong, affecting his status as a quack.

But in the last year of the New York Knicks contract, knowing that his market had become a “veteran market”, Pierce called his agent at that time: “Man, don’t ask other teams, you can contact the general manager of the Cavaliers directly!” I’m going to the Knights! ”

Not the slightest hesitation, not the slightest hesitation!

Griffin heard that Paul Pierce, who averaged 12.8 points and 4.5 rebounds per game last season, came to shoot, and also decisively offered a “veteran contract” that was slightly above the market price.

This is……

Respect!

In this way, Paul Pierce came to Li Wan’s team again.

As soon as this news came out, ESPN immediately shouted “Knight Championship”!

Many media have also shouted this slogan.

No way, just Li Wan’s performance in the Eastern Conference finals this year…

Any reinforcement of the Cavaliers now, then just a reinforcement, in the eyes of the outside world, will greatly increase the probability of Li Wan winning the championship.

He’s really too strong now!

Any little help is a huge bonus for him.

Not to mention that Paul Pierce’s tank definitely still has oil!

This “gain” is too obvious!

A pair of “eagle eyes” in Orlando are watching the news report on TV.

After reading it, “Hawkeye” showed a moment of thought, and then took out his mobile phone: “Dude, call them back, just say that we agreed, we can sell, and contact the general manager of the Cavaliers for me, I want to join the Cavaliers…”

He had just finished the call, when an instant message suddenly appeared on the TV:

The Nets sent Wilson Chandler, J.J. Redick and a 2016 first-round pick and a 2017 second-round pick to get a first-pick and then a swap from the Clippers for Cameron Anthony.

“Melon” has come to New York!

After getting him, the Nets instantly formed the “Big Three” of “Chris Paul, Cameron Anthony and Howard”, once again becoming the Eastern Conference powerhouse.

The Russian owner of the Nets was ecstatic, after waiting for so many years, he finally waited for the “super team”!

As for Cameron Anthony, he had already arrived in New York on a special plane at this time.

Before getting off the plane, he took a deep breath, his eyes full of expectation:

East, I’m coming!

And also……

Wait, everyone!

Soon, you will know how much I suppress Li Wan!

With me, this guy doesn’t want to break through the east again!

Anthony is so confident for a reason.

First, it is naturally the number of wins he has won against Li Wan in the past four or five years; Second, Li Wan won the “fourth consecutive championship” in New York, and immediately lost after leaving New York, which shows that “dog luck” is no longer on him, since “dog luck” is not on his body, it is naturally on the city of New York.

The Knicks are currently a wasteland, and although he is confident that he can be reborn with the Knicks, he has more important things to do, that is, “snipe Li Wan”!

In that case, it is natural to choose a stronger Nets team!

At the moment, the time and place are favorable, Li Wan… After occupying the “throne” that did not belong to you for so many years, it is time to hand it over!

“Hey man, I’m already in New York, I’ve ordered the booth, I’ll send you the address later, don’t worry, I’m sure to have fun, Dwight!”

Well……

In order for his teammates to think the same as him, Cameron Anthony also developed a thorough “teammate strategy plan” with the help of his wife Lala.

All……

It’s all to defeat Li Wan!

“Hey Lee, I’m sorry to call you so late, but… It’s really important, you know? Joe Johnson’s agent just called me, and they’ve decided to join the Cleveland Cavaliers after negotiating a sell-out with the Magic…”

“！！！”

Li Wan had already fallen asleep, was woken up by Griffin’s call, and complained in his heart:

You better have something!

Now hearing what Griffin said to him, the whole person immediately sat up involuntarily.

Even more excited than when he heard Paul Pierce joined!

And not just because Joe Johnson is younger than Paul Pierce.

Also because Joe Johnson is a pure No. 2.

What the Cavaliers are missing right now is the No. 2 spot.

After the “Jets” announced their retirement, the current No. 2 position on the team is only Wade and Cook…

At the moment, the alliance really lacks the number two position!

This may also be the reason, even though Dion Vitesse played poorly in his first year on a trade with the Thunder, Thunder management offered him a contract extension this summer.

Although the money is not much, converted to only 8 million knives per year.

But the problem is…

Where is Dion Vitesse’s performance worth 8 million?

4 million stadiums can’t be played!

Griffin has been so anxious to strengthen the second position in the past two days, so anxious that his hair has become bald again, but he didn’t expect that at this critical moment, there were actually warriors who took the initiative to invest.

He suddenly understood what Donnie Walsh once said to him: “Don’t have too much pressure, as long as you honestly build a team around Li Wan and eliminate the unstable factors of the team, you will find that in the team with Li Wan in, reinforcement is actually a very easy thing!” ”

At the time, he didn’t quite understand, but now…

He understands it all too well!

One by one, these veterans took the initiative to invest, and they didn’t have to worry about anything, if this is not easy, then there is really no easy deal.

Li Wan…”Forever dripping God”!

In this way, the gap in the second and third positions is filled at once, and when Chris Bosh returns, this is like an “invincible battleship”!

Griffin felt that the summer reinforcement had not yet begun, but was already over.

He could even start working on reinforcements for next season!

On July 18, Joe Johnson and his agent, after several days of wrangling, finally agreed to a buyout fee of 60% of the Magic’s salary.

When this buyout was first reached, it attracted the attention of countless teams.

At least seven team general managers handed Joe Johnson olive branches.

In the current shortage of the No. 2 position, Joe Johnson, a veteran with experience and the power to fight a war, is too good.

Especially……

Right now, he’s just been bought!

10 million Joe Johnson is too expensive.

But if it’s Joe Johnson for 780,000 to a million or so, that’s too fragrant!

It’s definitely a score plus reinforcement.

Therefore, most of the powerhouses, including the Warriors, have handed Joe Johnson a new contract.

But in the end, Joe Johnson joined the Cavaliers with a base salary contract of 780,000 after the end of the clarification period as agreed with Griffin!

At this time, it has been less than 10 days since Paul Pierce joined the Cavaliers with a base salary, and now Joe Johnson has taken the initiative to join with a base salary…

Barkley stood up for the first time, and he attributed this to Li Wan’s personal influence: “All players who aspire to a championship will choose to join the Cavaliers, although they are not championships this summer, and they have not even reached the finals, but everyone knows that when the new season restarts, the most promising team to win the championship is definitely Li Wan’s team!” ”

“Bleachers” interprets this in the same way as Barkley: “This means that in the eyes of these veterans, Li Wan is the most likely person to win the championship in the new season, they don’t say it, they show it through actual actions!” ”

The so-called “mouth is straight”, the body’s reaction, is the biggest truth…

This caused Green’s displeasure: “They quickly learned that [choosing to join the Cavaliers] was wrong, we are the champions, we will be stronger, they will regret it, let’s go and see, let’s see what happens next!” I can’t wait for the new season to come sooner! ”

Without waiting for Li Wan to respond to his provocation, many media and players, especially fans on the Internet, were already responding for Li Wan:

“Shut your mouth, Grimm, you are not qualified to provoke Li Wan yet!”

“If you win a championship and you think you have such capital, then I have to tell you, you are still far behind!”

“In this alliance, you can challenge Li Wan, but you can’t provoke Li Wan so much! Winning a championship is only a temporary success, and when you and your team win the ‘fourth consecutive championship’, it is too late to say these words! ”

……

In the voting session of the latest issue of the New York Times, “Chasing Dreams” Green was successfully selected as the most annoying player in the NBA!

This made him even more irritated, and his speech became more and more unspoken: “It’s not a big deal, it’s not the first time I’ve been underestimated, in fact, Li Wan is not qualified to endorse Plan B, I am the best spokesperson for Plan B!” ”

Now, Green’s situation is even more dangerous…

The media wanted to interview Li Wan and wanted to know his opinion on this matter.

It’s just that……

Tyren replied unanimously: “Li Wan is enjoying his vacation, plus a well-known thing, he just had his first child, he really doesn’t want to be disturbed!” ”

In fact, Li Wan did not dislike Green because of this.

In fact, after he became the first man in the NBA, it has been a long time since anyone jumped so face-to-face…

Compared to the 90s and 00s, the players of this era are really “good babies”.

It has to be a bad brain like Green who dares to stand up and mock his face!

Of course, he can’t be like someone later, who was ridiculed before the game, and still engaged in the “off-peak travel” set there.

He can’t wait for the new season to come soon, preferably with the Warriors in the first game, and then a hard shot in Green’s face.

Let him know what “can’t be messed with” is!

It’s just that until then, he really doesn’t need to publicly choke.

This gave Grimm more heat…

No need!

After signing Joe Johnson, the Cavaliers’ roster for the new season is basically formed:

“No. 1: Li Wan, Curry Jr.;

No. 2: Wade, Joe Johnson, Cook;

No. 3: Wiggins, Pierce;

No. 4: Chris Bosh, Larry Nance Jr.;

No. 5: Adams, Kwame Brown, Cody Zeller; ”

There are 3 places left before the 15-person roster.

It is worth mentioning that the salaries of these 12 people are:

Lee Wan 20.43 million, Curry Jr. 780,000, Wade 15 million, Joe Johnson 780,000, Cook 2 million, Wiggins 5.76 million, Pierce 3.5 million, Chris Bosh 20 million, Larry Nance Jr. 1.28 million, Adams 2.28 million, Kwame Brown 5 million, Cody Zeller 4.2 million…

That adds up to less than 82 million knives.

You know, this year’s salary cap is as high as 73 million!

It’s equivalent to saying that the Cavaliers’ lineup has just touched the luxury tax line!

Can you imagine a lineup with Lee Wan, Wade, Joe Johnson, Pierce, Bosh, but not even a hundred million?

Even if Pierce and Joe Johnson are already worthless this season, their actual price can definitely easily exceed 8 million.

All this…

It’s all relying on Li Wan’s personal charm!

However, Griffin has two more things to do this summer, one is to deal with TT’s expiring contract, and Vallejo’s contract has expired, and he is considering whether to renew it.

Compared to Vallejo, Griffin is more concerned about keeping TT.

After all, Chris Bosh was the team’s No. 4 starter after the season reimbursement last season, and during that time, he grew rapidly, and although he was tuned in the Eastern Conference Finals, averaging 7 points and 7 rebounds per game was not a problem!

This performance is enough for him to serve as the Cavaliers’ backup number four in the new season.

But because in this year’s draft, they just won Larry Nance Jr., a newcomer with similar functionality to the “Eight Sages”, Griffin is not willing to use too high a salary contract to renew the “Eight Sages”.

It was also this entanglement that made Griffin not know how to bid, simply waiting for other teams to offer. At that time, depending on the situation, he will decide whether to follow or not.

What he didn’t expect was that before he could make a move, the agent of the “Eight Sages”, that is, Richie Paul, who later blackmailed LeBron to make the whole league, took the initiative to call Griffin and ask for a 5-year, 60 million contract.

This made Griffin a little uncomfortable.

What data, dare to ask for such a big contract…

However, he did not make a decision on his own, but communicated with Li Wan first.

After Li Wan learned of Richie Paul’s offer, he was not used to it: “Try to sign it first, but it really doesn’t work, so I traded him!” ”

Griffin understood what Li Wan meant:

Sign before you change!

So, he decisively quoted the highest price he could give: 32 million for 4 years!

If Thompson can’t be signed for that price, then Griffin will sign him at a higher price and trade him.

As for how to ensure that in the case of signing Thompson on a high-priced contract, it still sells at a good price…

Griffin also has a well-thought-out plan!

Soon, Richie Paul responded: “Man, you may not know what Tristan is doing in the outside world right now, you should find out… You’ll learn! ”

Griffin didn’t say anything in the face of his words, but hung up the phone directly and read a few news articles about Thompson on the Internet. There was significantly more news about him.

Most of them are similar news, what “a team senior revealed that it will take 5 years and 70 million to rob Thompson”, and what “the general manager of a certain team decided to offer a 4-year 60 million contract to rob Thompson with the Cavaliers”…

Without exception, it’s all unconfirmed gossip!

Who stirred up the news, needless to say, must be Rich Paul.

But the problem is…

Some stupid general manager, he really believes!

If he quotes 32 million for 4 years to Thompson, the general manager of other teams will definitely follow, and then it will be difficult to ride the tiger but become him.

But if the price is high…

Didn’t Thompson just smash it in his hands?

At that time, it was still as Rich Paul wished!

Griffin had to admit that Richie Paul’s moves, though simple and crude, even rudimentary, worked.

After determining that Thompson could not be renewed for 4 years and 32 million, Griffin decisively changed his mind.

He’s going to try to trade Thompson for more cost-effective chips for the Cavaliers!

This has to come to the plan he has prepared…

He was going to inquire from his sources about the limit price of the general manager who was willing to follow up on Thompson’s contract, and then sign him with a contract that was not so limity, maybe three or four million cheaper, and then sell it…

Don’t look at it is just a few million cheaper, but this is cheap, some general managers are really greedy!

This will not only let Thompson go in vain, but also allow Thompson to get the smallest contract possible!

Count me?

I’ll show you what special calculations are!

As things stand, the Lakers are definitely going to the playoffs. But also, one of the big heat in the league now is to watch LeBron touch Jordan, if he can’t make the playoffs for two consecutive years, this topic is afraid that it will end before it starts.

However, the current situation is that even if LeBron travels at the wrong peak, he is afraid that he will not be able to keep his data when facing some strong teams. So I’m already looking forward to the playoffs!

Of course, if the league enters the playoffs and still blows like this, then I can only say: the league’s dad is not daddy, Nike’s daddy is daddy!
