legendary point guard

When the 76ers announced that Webber had been bought out, all the powerful players in the league took action.

Webb, who is unrestricted, can join any team with any contract as he wishes.

Although Webber is suffering from injuries and his condition is not as good as before, no team will be unmoved by the five-time All-Star.

Many people have speculated that after Webber was bought out, Webber's choice to "re-employ" would not be too concerned about money, but whether he could win a championship.

Mark Cuban, owner of the league's leading Dallas Mavericks, even announced that he was willing to offer Webb a three-year, $15 million contract.

The Detroit Pistons, Webber's hometown, also expressed their friendship to Webber immediately.

So when Webber and David Falk showed up in Orlando, everyone was surprised.

After the trade, people didn't think highly of the Magic at all, yet Webber appears here, which is somewhat incredible.

"No, I just came to Orlando at David's invitation. I haven't decided yet about my future. If I make a decision, I think I will tell everyone as soon as possible." Chris Webber responded to reporters with a smile.

However, this answer does not dissuade others from wondering whether Webb has already reached an agreement with the Magic in private.

At four o'clock in the afternoon, Otis Smith, Stan Van Gundy, David Falk and Chris Webber appeared in a coffee shop in Orlando, which undoubtedly directly demonstrated the Magic's Webber's desire.

This also makes many Magic fans look forward to it. After all, the team's overall strength is lacking after trading Lin Sen. If Chris Webber can join, it will undoubtedly bring huge help to the team.

"Chris, I sincerely invite you to join Orlando. I think you know the recent news. Everyone is not optimistic about us, but we don't think so at all." Otis Smith looked at Webber and said.

"However, Orlando's lineup is too weak, and you also know that what I want now is not money. How much money is not important to me, but what I want is the O'Brien Cup. At least for now, Orlando doesn't let me see it.

To this hope." Weber expressed his thoughts.

He naturally knew the purpose of David Falk inviting him to come to Orlando. The reason why he agreed to come to Orlando was more to give David Falk face.

The Dallas Mavericks and Detroit Pistons are his main consideration targets, and of course the San Antonio Spurs. The Orlando Magic, at least for now, is not at all in his consideration range.

David Falk laughed: "Chris, what if Orlando can build a championship team?"

"Championship team? David, are you sure you're not kidding?"

"Of course David is not kidding. We have been actively contacting some capable players in the past two days, and they all intend to join us." Stan Van Gundy said.

"Strong players?" Weber's impression is that there are strong players on the free market currently, and it is basically impossible to strengthen the Magic's lineup through trade.

"I know you are doubting, but I want to ask you first, what do you think of our current lineup? Dwight Howard, Hido Turkoglu, Grant Hill, Wood Lin."

"This lineup is really good as a starter. But they only have four people." Weber said with a shrug, and his meaning was clear.

"Chris, I think you, like most people, think that the rest of our lineup is weak, but that's not true. In addition, we also have Kenyon Dulin and Carlos Arroyo on the back line.

, there are Tony Barty and Darko Milicic on the inside. Tony is currently our starting power forward and has performed well in the limited time. Darko has also shown his potential. What he lacks is confidence.

I think your arrival can help him."

Weber also didn't expect that the Magic's lineup was actually not that bad, at least it sounded like it only needed partial reinforcement.

What's more, that rookie Lin Sen was able to achieve excellent results with a lineup like that in the days when the Timberwolves didn't have Garnett. Today's Magic lineup is much better than the Timberwolves.

"Yes, I do think like most people that Orlando's strength is not good, but the team still has big flaws just relying on these people."

As soon as he heard Webber's words, Otis Smith knew that he was one step closer to Webber agreeing to sign the contract.

"Chris, you are right. We still have big flaws. Youth is the most important aspect, so we need experienced and capable veterans like you.

Here you will become our starting choice and can help the young players in the team grow. Don't you think that will be more challenging and fulfilling?"

Otis Smith changed the subject: "Of course, we will take further measures to strengthen the team. On the back line, we are contacting Eddie Jones, who will be bought out by Memphis in the near future. I think he

Needless to say, you should know that he can come here. He does not need to bear such a long playing time here."

Stan Van Gundy smiled and continued: "We believe Eddie will make a stable contribution to the team in a limited time. In addition, we have also contacted Devin Brown, who was abandoned by Golden State, and he will

Become a powerful addition to our back line."

However, Weber is not very familiar with Devin Brown and has only heard of the name.

He didn't know that he had heard this name because of Devin Brown, who had Tracy McGrady's 35 seconds and 13 minutes.

Weber thought about it carefully. If the Magic added him, if everyone played well and everyone performed normally, the competitiveness would indeed not be bad.

"Chris, you see this is Orlando's sincerity, and I also helped contact two other veterans. I believe you will be familiar with it." David Falk said with a smile.

"The other two veterans?" Weber frowned. There are no outstanding veterans on the free market.

"Not on active duty." David Falk looked at Weber's frown and reminded him with a smile.

"Not in active duty?" Weber tried his best to recall the players who announced their retirement this offseason or last year.

"Sprewell?"

"No, no, we have also contacted him, but he said the same as before, 7 million is not enough for him to support his family. If he agrees, we don't mind giving him a middle-class contract, but..." Otis Smith shrugged.

All Weber could think of was Sprewell. He really couldn't think of anything else: "When did you announce your retirement?"

"One was three years ago, and the other was further away."

"Three years ago, there was one further?" Weber subconsciously thought that David Falk was joking.

He who retired three years ago still has some strength now, let alone further.

However, he then thought about it. There are some veterans who will maintain a good figure even after retiring and can contribute to the team in a limited time after they come back. Of course, more of them will play a role in experience. If there is any impact on the current Magic

It's actually pretty good.

Maybe the Magic will really become a dark horse, rather than a team that people think is destined to fail and rebuild.

Weber has a greater fondness for the Magic, and he even thinks joining the Magic might be a good choice.

Shaking his head, Weber returned to thinking about who the retired veteran the Magic wanted to win over.

After thinking about it carefully, a name finally came into his mind, and this name was a rumor he heard by chance at the beginning of the season. Could it be him?

If he is really this person, Weber still believes that this person may have limited effect on the court, but he can definitely bring a positive side to the Magic off the court.

"Scottie Pippen?"

"Banggo, you got the right answer, but there is no reward." David Falk said with a smile.

"Is it really Scottie?" Even though Webber had an idea, he still didn't expect it was really Scottie Pippen.

Weber naturally knows about Pippen's ability when he was young. He has experienced the peak of Pippen and the end of Pippen's career, and that time was the peak of his career.

"Yes, it's Scottie. For us, Scottie's role is far less than yours. After all, his age is there. We rely more on his experience. If we want to become a strong competitor in this league,

I think he is a good choice." Stan Van Gundy said seriously. (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster!

The Magic's roster really isn't that bad, is it?

As for veterans like Pippen, there will definitely be great doubts, but as mentioned in the article, what the Magic need is their experience and spiritual leadership, and they do not need to make much contribution on the court.

As for the other one who retired further, I will tell you in the next chapter!
