I am so Accurate

Gu Yi went to contact Kupchak.

Because Sun Hao has not publicly announced his comeback, these small operations can only be done in private.

Kupchak was overjoyed when he got the call.

Although Gu Yi only asked the Lakers in a tentative tone on the phone if they could clear the salary space.

But as long as you are not stupid, you know what that means!

Before the league committee meeting, Stern asked the owners of the teams for their opinions, and also told all the teams that Sun Hao would come back early.

Now, Sun Hao has to choose to make a comeback with the Lakers!

As long as they can clear up enough salary space, the revival of the Lakers is just around the corner!

Then there is the key cap space issue.

According to the results of the previous discussion by the League Committee, no matter where Sun Hao returns, he must sign the contract according to the market value.

In other words, Sun Hao must sign a maximum salary.

Sun Hao has played in the NBA for seven years. According to the rules at this time, the starting salary of the maximum salary is 30% of the league salary cap, which is 17.6 million US dollars this season.

The good news for Kupchak is that Marion is on an expiring contract, and his salary is exactly 17.81 million this season.

As long as he gets sent to a team that has room to take that contract and gets some exceptions that don't account for the salary cap, the problem will be solved.

The next day, gossip.

There have been several media reports that Sun Hao may have an early comeback.

"I think the Lakers are still the team with the best chance of winning this season, because he is coming back!"

On TNT's new program in the evening, Barkley switched from Comey to Sun Chui all at once.

"who?"

Kenny Smith routinely plays the supporting role.

"Who? You don't know who I'm talking about! You hear me man, I'm talking about the Lakers!"

"Sun is coming back."

As soon as Barkley finished speaking, Ernie Johnson took over.

The three of them played a play, vividly describing the matter of Sun Hao's return.

"But I don't think Sun will definitely return with the Lakers."

Kenny Smith continues to hold the role.

"Man, will Michael Jordan leave the Bulls? No! Will Sun leave the Lakers? Neither!"

Barkley was excited.

"Charles, Sun and Michael are not in the same situation, and the Lakers are not in the same situation as the Bulls were."

"What's different?"

"The Lakers don't have cap space right now."

"Can't cap space be cleared with a trade?"

"At this time point, not many teams have it. Even if they do, why should they help the Lakers?"

"Kenny is right, if I have space, I will not help the Lakers, but will try to recruit Sun myself."

There was a quarrel, which seemed fierce, but in fact it was well organized and proceeded step by step.

The theme of their program this time is about to come out, which is to analyze which team Sun Hao will return to if he returns.

Barkley is a staunch Lakers faction, and this will also be the opinion of most fans.

After all, although the fans may not be able to consider all the things that Gu Yi analyzed, they can still think of a lot.

Smith and Johnson are analyzing the uncertainty of the Lakers.

This episode also quickly became popular all over the Internet.

Fans followed Barkley and the others, and began to frantically speculate which team Sun Hao would choose to make his comeback.

Moreover, TNT struck while the iron was hot, and even made voting statistics online.

The results showed that the Lakers' vote rate was as high as 90%.

In second place was the Warriors, but with only 6 percent of the vote.

The old teacher Nelson and the "mysterious brother" Durant are considered to have a certain attraction to Sun Hao.

The third-ranked Wizards only got 2% of the votes.

Ranked fourth turned out to be the Knicks, with less than 1% of the votes.

For some of the remaining teams, the percentage of votes was even lower.

In other words, the media and fans also think that Sun Hao will only come back with the Lakers.

Back to the Lakers.

Their deal in free agency has been rocky.

The main reason is that no team can take Marion's contract alone.

Even a rebuilding team can't possibly have that much space.

Because the NBA has a poor line, this line is about 90% of the salary cap.

And Marion's contract is a maximum salary, close to 30% of the salary cap.

So even if there is a team willing to eat, it will definitely need to find a third party.

This is very difficult to operate.

Among these teams, there are not no teams that are relatively easy to operate.

Pacers in the East, Warriors in the West.

The main players of these two teams are rookies, and there are few big contracts, so it is relatively easy to operate.

This is also the main target of the Lakers in the free market.

But the Warriors directly rejected the Lakers.

The Warriors are now competing to qualify for the playoffs. To put it bluntly, they are in the same rank as the Lakers.

How could it eat the opponent's contract and make the opponent stronger?

However, the Pacers did not refuse, and they also launched in-depth negotiations with the Lakers.

However, judging from the rumors that broke out, it's not that the Byrds are much better than Jerry West, but that they simply want to take advantage of the fire!

All in all, the Lakers' transaction did not go smoothly.

Sun Hao's comeback with the Lakers is much more difficult than expected, and it seems that there will be some delay.

On this day, an unexpected visitor came to Sun Hao's home.

"Logo Man" Jerry West and Old Nelson.

They just said they came to visit Sun Hao, and then took a look at Little Beijing, and brought some gifts.

One is a Lakers legend, and the other is a former mentor, so Sun Hao naturally couldn't refuse.

After watching Little Beijing, the two dragged Sun Hao to chat in the living room.

"I heard you're planning to come back?"

After sitting down, West also cut to the chase.

Sun Hao nodded.

Stern mentioned his comeback in the league committee, and the management of the 30 teams in the league must have known about it.

There is nothing to hide.

"I know you're definitely coming back with the Lakers."

West continued.

Sun Hao didn't speak, just smiled.

West is trying to trick him.

"We will not persuade you to join the Warriors, because we know that will make you very difficult, but if things happen as I said, I hope you can consider the Warriors."

West had already guessed the answer from Sun Hao's reaction, so he continued to speak.

"what's the situation?"

Sun Hao was still a little curious.

Besides letting himself go to the Warriors, he couldn't think of anything else that would allow West and Old Nelson to come to his home at the same time.

"I'm talking about a hypothesis, if the Lakers can't clear the salary space, if the management wants you to come back next season, I hope you can come to the Warriors and use half a season to find the game state.

If you have an idea, we can just sign a one-year contract. When the summer is over, if you want to go back to Los Angeles or go to other places, we will not do anything to stop you. "

West's next words made Sun Hao feel more interesting.

This feeling is to treat myself as a spare tire, and then beg him to play half a season with the Warriors.

It's very humble, but it does make Sun Hao feel very good.

After all, the Warriors have old Nelson and Durant, which can be regarded as his second choice.

He nodded.

Although he didn't think Kupchak didn't even have the ability to clear the space.

"Then, it's a deal."

West stood up and shook hands with Sun Hao, with a warm and innocent smile.

After sending West away, Sun Hao suddenly had a very strange feeling.

You must know that he is a time traveler, and in the words of history, West is the man who claims to control the alliance.

Form an OK combination, replace Gasol with Gasol to create a black and white duo, choose Curry to recruit Durant to build a Warriors quasi-dynasty...

There are many operations in it that other managers can't play in their lifetime.

But thinking about it, he shook his head again.

Kupchak shouldn't even be able to find a space, right?

Probably not.

can you?

...

Sun Hao is waiting, and time is passing by.

During this period of time, Sun Hao's home in Beverly Manor became the former Boston North Shore Garden Arena, full of people, and the threshold was almost broken.

Although the rhetoric is different from West's, they all hope that Sun Hao can choose to come back in their team.

Some of them even said that Sun Hao was a little moved.

Like the Trail Blazers.

The Trail Blazers' advantage over the Warriors is that they can play more young people.

Roy, Batum, Aldridge, Horford, doesn't this lineup lack a point guard?

And there are Outlaw and Channing Frye on the bench, and the future is bright.

The boss Paul Allen also let go, as long as Sun Hao is willing to go, money is not a problem.

He even promised Sun Hao that he would have the right to speak in the team.

After this whole set, if he didn't know that there is a pioneer "veterinary doctor", Sun Hao would really be ready to move.

Another example is the Wizards.

Jordan personally went out to have a relationship with Sun Hao.

And if it's a fishing contest, Yao Ming is the best bait.

Time passed unknowingly, and the trade deadline was approaching in a blink of an eye.

At this time, each team's pursuit of Sun Hao also entered a fever pitch.

Of course not all teams.

Teams such as the Nuggets, Mavericks, and Magic that focus on this season are all making their own reinforcements.

If Sun Hao comes back, they will definitely have another big challenge.

The day before the trade deadline, Kupchak, Phil Jackson and Jenny Buss, a luxurious team came to Sun Hao's house.

"We tried our best, but other teams were very resistant to us, and we couldn't clear the cap space in the end."

Kupchak was frustrated when he said this.

The resistance of other teams in the league to the Lakers is beyond his imagination.

But this is not because he is not good at business. In 8 years, 2 dynasties and 6 champions, this standard public enemy.

It is not an exaggeration to say that other teams can accept the fact that Sun Hao will come back early, but they cannot accept Sun Hao's early comeback with the Lakers.

"Now what?"

Sun Hao looked at Kupchak.

"Ahem, what Jenny and I mean is that we want you to come back in the summer."

Kupchak didn't speak, but Phil Jackson on the side spoke.

When he spoke, Jenny nodded in agreement.

Sun Hao actually guessed this answer when he asked.

Now, it's a testimonial.

But in this way, it means that West's assumption has come true!

And he had already promised West!

Prophet? Predict things like a god?

Sun Hao has a new understanding of West's ability.

And now that he has promised West, he will fulfill it.

After all, this incident does not mean that he did not give the Lakers a chance, but the Lakers themselves can't do it!

"let me consider it."

Sun Hao said.

There is no need to mention the agreement between him and West at this time.

But Sun Hao's answer shocked Phil Jackson and Jenny Buss.

think about it?

Not for sure, but probably not!

"We will try our best to win Yao next season, and the team's competitiveness will be greatly improved by then."

Jenny Bass rushed to say at this time.

She managed to get the power from Bass, and she didn't want to lose Sun Hao, the biggest cash cow.

"I know, I'm interested in working with Yao, and I'm from Los Angeles."

Sun Hao, I didn't make my words too white.

He listened to what Gu Yi said.

His current thinking is just to go to the Warriors to play for half a season to find the feeling of the game.

By the end of the season, he is likely to return to the Lakers.

Like Jenny said, playing with Yao Ming in Los Angeles was the best outcome.

Jenny wanted to say something else, but Phil Jackson stopped her at this time.

"Larry asked us for four first-round picks, which is tantamount to hollowing out the future of the Lakers. I want to say that we have tried our best. We just want you to wait a few more months."

Phil Jackson continued.

Sun Hao frowned.

There is nothing wrong with what Jackson said, but it doesn't sound good.

In a sense, the Lakers are not unable to clear the salary space, but the cost is too high.

Then, they wanted Sun Hao to make sacrifices.

Phil Jackson is a very good coach, but he is really not very good at management, and he is not very good at talking.

And after feeling disgusted in his heart, the matter of O'Neill being traded unconsciously emerged from his mind.

"I will think about it."

Sun Hao repeated what he said just now, but this time his tone was obviously not so good.

His character has always been soft but not hard.

Phil Jackson didn't say anything more.

After chatting a few more gossips, they left.

After they left, Sun Hao called Gu Yi and Fu Paulo to his home, and told them his decision.

And because of the lessons learned by the Lakers, he also asked the two not to announce it to the public, but communicated with West first.

On the trade deadline, the league has its own moves.

The Warriors also made moves at the trade deadline, sending a first-rounder and Dampier to Houston for Chuck Hayes.

This is basically a cleanup operation.

This has already made some team management smell something.

Because Hayes' contract is only more than 1 million, the Warriors took a special case in this deal, and the salary of the entire team fell below the salary cap.

This kind of operation is very unconventional, unless they want to sign people.

Not long after that, Sun Hao posted a status on his personal Twitter.

The number of words in this status is very small, but it is as concise as the original Jordan.

"It's. time!"

Behind this state, he tapped the Warriors' official account and the accounts of Warriors president Jerry West, head coach Nelson, and the Warriors' current team core Durant.

This meaning can no longer be obvious.

Sun Hao came back early, and he will join the Warriors!

Last month, I updated 260,000 words, but I was hit hard by the manuscript fee. I finished writing the results today, and I will carefully conceive the Warriors article tomorrow. Some people said that I retired from the old routine, and some said that I couldn’t continue writing. I I think you should understand this point. I started publishing this result when I left the Mavericks. I am still following my outline. Let me say so much. Tomorrow, a new chapter!
