NBA: Talent exploded at the start

Lin Lei’s words had already made Andy Campion look livid, he never thought that his identity would also be kicked out one day.

As the president of the world’s largest sports brand, he was seen groveling before.

But who would have thought that this young man from Huaxia was actually unmoved by his identity.

“Okay, we’ll see!”

After dropping this sentence, Andy Campion left with his secretary in a hurry.

Looking at their distant figures, Lin Lei was also in a good mood for a while.

Huaxia has been a country of courtesy since ancient times, and this courtesy has also been deeply imprinted in Lin Lei’s soul.

But one thing, if the other party did not respect him before this, then Lin Lei would not be polite to them, no matter who the other party was.

Because dignity is priceless!

。。。。。。。

The hiring of the president of Nike was just a small episode, and early the next morning, Lin Lei went straight to the hotel’s arena to practice.

Although there is a systematic blessing, he is now an S score, but the ball skill is like this, and it needs to be polished at all times.

And after the previous competition, Lin Lei also realized that he still had a lot to work on.

In the huge stadium, he was the only one practicing silently.

However, soon Lin Lei found that dozens of strange figures appeared in the audience above the stadium.

Some of them are holding notebooks and seem to be taking notes, while others are holding cameras and recording something.

These people are also affiliated with a professional ,—— scouting in the NBA.

Although Lin Lei became a hit in the previous competition, he became a big favorite of the champion.

But there is so little first-hand information about him, and the gang is also asking for their respective teams.

Even if it is not a team in the lottery zone, it seems that they hope to have the opportunity to sign Lin Lei.

For this reason, many teams have even begun to contact the Cleveland Cavaliers in advance, hoping to exchange the top pick.

In response to these remarks, the Cleveland Cavaliers told officials that they already had the right candidates.

At that time, James will be signed and assisted by the champion signing, and who this person is is silent.

Because the draft date was set three days away, almost all of the 30 team owners and managers came to Newark.

For a while, the city of Newark was also lively.

Lin Lei trained for about two hours, and just as he was about to go back to the hotel to eat something, the front desk told him that there were two people waiting outside.

And the identities of these two are not ordinary, they are actually the owner of the Cavaliers – Gilbert and the general manager in charge of the team’s operations – Altman!

For the arrival of the two, Lin Lei was still surprised, after all, he was just a player who had not yet participated in the draft.

And the other party is the owner and general manager of the team, both are very remarkable figures in the league, and there must be something wrong with suddenly coming to him at such a moment.

When his sneakers broke in yesterday’s game, the Cavaliers’ star Lebraun James also released goodwill, and Lin Lei had no reason to refuse.

So then Lin Lei did not hesitate for a moment, and directly came to the high-end suite of the hotel under the guidance of the staff.

“Little friend Lin Lei, I’m really sorry to disturb your training!”

The three met, and before Lin Lei could speak, Gilbert, the owner of the Cavaliers, was the first to laugh.

“Hello Mr. Gilbert.”

After some pleasantries, General Manager Altman said straight to the point: “Lin Lei, we in Cleveland have taken a fancy to your talent and plan to sign you as a champion.” ”

“Oh!”

Knowing this, Lin Lei nodded, but there was no excitement, still that indifferent expression.

This also surprised the Cavaliers owner and general manager, which is simply not a city house that an 18-year-old should have

However, what they don’t understand is that all this is a matter of course for Lin Lei.

With his current state and talent, if he wasn’t the draft pick of the year, he really couldn’t imagine anyone who could take on this heavy responsibility.

At the same time, Lin Lei is also convinced that the visit of the Cavaliers owner and general manager together is not as simple as announcing that he is going to win the draft title, there must be other things.

This is also as Lin Lei thought, seeing that Lin Lei did not say much, the general manager of the Cavaliers Altman spoke again

“Lin Lei, we have great trust in your talent, and we are also very optimistic.

So before selecting you as a champion, I need to confirm with you if you are willing to stay with the Cleveland Cavaliers after the rookie contract expires? ”

Hearing the general manager’s question, Lin Lei finally understood their intentions.

NBA rookie contracts are generally restricted players for the first three years, and if the team doesn’t want to trade him, he must play for the team for three years.

And after the three-year contract expires, there is one year before the team can renew his contract first.

That is to say, a player will only become an unrestricted full free agent after 5 years, when Lin Lei will be 23 years old.

Usually, teams give priority to using rookie players for two years before seeking a trade, after all, this rookie contract is very cheap and is a value-for-money contract.

However, the situation of the Cleveland Cavaliers was not optimistic, first of all, because in previous years in order to help Lebram James win the championship, they signed a lot of quality contracts that seemed good at the time.

But then most of these contracts were unfinished, accounting for a large part of the team’s salary space, which also led to the team’s inability to make strong reinforcements in the past two years.

And most importantly, Lebraon James’ contract has expired this year, and so far there is no intention of renewing it early.

In this case, the team is ready for both.

First, they decided to agree to Lin Lei to join the league according to James’s instructions, and then they found a way to sign Lin Lei with a top signing.

However, there is another premise before this, that is, Lebraon James agrees to a 5-year extension, so that Lin Lei will also play for 5 years.

In the next 5 years, the Cavaliers will be competitive again, and they will be able to avoid paying the luxury tax, saving the team a lot of money.

Now the key point of the question is Lin Lei, is he willing to stay in the team all the time?

If Lin Lei’s side does not get a specific answer, James may not easily sign for a while.

With James’ current status in the market, no team will give up easily, which may cause a race to compete, which will be extremely unfavorable for the Cavaliers.

For the inquiry of the owner and general manager of the Knights, Lin Lei thought for a moment, and finally replied in a somewhat serious tone:

“I’m really sorry for the two, I’m afraid it’s difficult for me to continue to renew my contract with the Knights after playing my rookie contract!”
