NBA: Talent exploded at the start

“Why!”

Hearing Lin Lei’s reply, General Manager Alderman and boss Gilbert “clicked” in their hearts at the same time, and their expressions were a little panicked.

“Is it because the Cleveland market isn’t big enough? But we have James in Cleveland, which also attracts a lot of attention, and it is not necessarily bad for you.

If one day James gets older, you are the heart and future of this team. ”

For the promise of the boss and the general manager, Lin Lei shook his head with a smile and explained: “I am very clear about the thoughts of the two, and thank you for your attention to me.

But my relatives are all in Los Angeles, they are used to staying there and will not move easily, we Huaxia people are all family-oriented.

So if I have the chance, I might go back to Los Angeles to play.

But rest assured, during my rookie contract, I will do my best to help the team, which is my professional ethos as a player. ”

After saying this, Lin Lei got up with a smile and left this luxurious private room.

Huaxia men are indeed like this, relatively speaking, they will put family first.

Especially my mother and uncle are also of great help to Lin Lei.

They are all used to staying in Los Angeles, which is also a factor that Lin Lei must consider.

But this reason made the owners and general managers of the Knights also look at each other, they did not understand Lin Lei’s mentality.

After listening to Lin Lei’s explanation, the two were a little difficult to accept for a while.

It took a full three minutes for General Manager Altman to speak

“Boss, I’m afraid the current situation is a bit tricky, we have to make two preparations!”

“What do you mean by that?”

Although a hint of foreboding flashed in his heart, Gilbert still wanted to hear Altman’s analysis.

As the team’s general manager, Altman naturally knows the current situation of this team very well, so his words are good for the whole team.

“With our current market, it’s okay to eat James’ max salary contract.

But now that the team is so big, you have to bring in new people if you want to win the championship, but we’re already far beyond the luxury tax.

Moreover, in the first two years, the team sacrificed almost all opportunities to strengthen James, including draft picks.

This year’s first-round pick is even our biggest pick in the next 5 years.

If we passively wait for James to renew his contract, if he fails to deliver on his promises, the entire Cavaliers will face a situation where there are no young players and their salaries are locked up.

While not being able to fight the battle, he also wasted a huge luxury tax on himself.

So I think the priority is to first get James to renew his contract, and secondly, to consider whether to trade Lin Lei.

Once James does not express his willingness to renew his contract, we might as well trade Lin Lei in exchange for favorable conditions…”

In the end, Altman’s tone was also indescribably deep.

This statement is too crazy to think about, even the owner of the Cavaliers, after listening to it, it feels a little incredible.

After all, Cleveland is James’s hometown, and if he suddenly leaves, the effect is self-evident.

Emotionally, Gilbert wanted to keep James.

But the league is a business, and whether James will stay or not depends on him.

In the end, reason prevailed over emotion, and Gilbert nodded and said leisurely: “If this is the case, then you should go and discuss with James.”

It must be fast, and it must be in time to confirm James’s idea before the draft starts! ”

。。。。。。

James, who had just completed the sneaker book signing, was also in a good mood for a while.

In addition to today’s book signing meeting, one of the topics that the on-site reporters are most concerned about is his stay next.

Although before that, most media thought that James would stay with the Cavaliers without reservation, no one dared to say anything until he signed it.

“James, I don’t know where far you have signed your contract extension with the team, and are there any other teams in the league that have offered you a higher price?”

Whenever he heard these questions from the media, James would subtly answer them, always without saying the final answer.

The reason why he is going around the corner is also because James is a little confused about where he will go next.

He himself did not get along well with some of his teammates, and there were even rumors that teammates had sticking with relatives at home, which also made James feel extremely uncomfortable.

In particular, there are some conflicts with the management, and these are facts.

More importantly, James also has a bitter word at the moment, and in the past 7 years with the Cavaliers, except for reaching the Finals once, he has basically done nothing.

And with the rise of the Celtics’ Big Three in the last two years, two seasons have fallen at the feet of the Celtics.

From the current situation, as long as the Celtics remain healthy, it will be difficult to defeat the Big Three with James’ strength alone.

In this case, James is also looking for changes, and he hopes that the Cavaliers will strengthen without refusing invitations.

Especially after watching yesterday’s game, Wade who accompanied him sent a message: “If you and I join forces, the entire league is ours!” ”
