NBA beast center

James is currently in Los Angeles.

He asked Shou Ye to meet, which was a private meeting between two superstars.

Shou Ye knew that James chose to meet during this time period, which was most likely related to the signing of free agents.And if not all of it, it's the most important thing of all.

In a private villa in Los Angeles, James invited Shou Ye to dine together.

This mountain villa has a very large area and a quiet environment. There are villa areas, leisure areas, golf courses, etc. Those who can come here for vacation are either rich or expensive.

Naturally, James can afford it. His current annual income ranks among the top among athletes in the world. To him, spending money in this kind of place is just a trivial matter.

Of course, there is no conflict with free WIFi.

"Waiter, what's the WIFI password here?" James asked.

"Sir, our WIFI doesn't need a password." The waiter replied respectfully.

James grinned widely. He was already used to using WIFI, and he was asking for the password if he didn't try it.

"You're kidding, Tom!" James said, laughing.

Shou Ye shrugged and said, "I'm used to it, and you do it in other places too!"

After speaking, both of them laughed.

Dining included James, James' agent Rich Paul, and Shou Ye.

Rich Paul is a small black man. He is about the same size as the famous NBA guard 58 Tongcheng and has the same surname, but this little man is not simple.

Ten years ago, he was just a very humble black peddler, mainly selling some pirated jerseys to make ends meet.

Later, because of an accidental opportunity, he met James and became friends, and then he set up a brokerage company. Because of James' influence, he soon became the most famous agent in the NBA.

He is not only James' agent, but also many other NBA players under his banner. His Klutch agency has grown rapidly in the industry and is already a well-known agency in the NBA.

At the dinner table, everyone did not talk about Shou Ye's free market signing. James is a talkative person. He and Shou Ye talked about investment, training, and even music and boxing.

Except for the topic of love gymnastics, I didn't talk about it, and I covered everything else.

Shou Ye didn't expect James to be such a funny person in private, which is completely different from his playing style on the court.

After the meal, James and Shou Ye went swimming in the swimming pool together, and then lay down on the deck chairs by the pool and chatted.

"Tom, have you ever thought about starting your own business?" James asked.

"What is self-supporting?" Shou Ye was puzzled.

James explained: "You are now under Mr. Duffy, have you ever thought about starting your own brokerage company?"

Shou Ye hadn't thought about it, at least not yet.He also knew that Rich Paul said he was James' agent, but in fact, the real mastermind behind Klutch's agency was James.

"No, I haven't thought about it yet."

"Then if you want to change the brokerage company, welcome to join the Klutch brokerage company!" James sent an invitation.

"Thank you for your kindness LeBron, I don't have this idea yet!" Shou Ye politely declined James.Bill Duffy is indeed not the most capable agent in the industry, because today's market is becoming more and more volatile, and traditional brokerage companies are also facing transformation.Ke Shouye and Bill Duffy have worked together for many years. The two have a very good relationship in private. Everyone has feelings. He will not choose to abandon his long-term partner unless it is absolutely necessary.

"Tom, the free agent market has begun!" James said, changing the subject.

When Shou Ye heard it, he knew that the main event was coming.

"Tom, I will choose to stay!" James said.

Shou Ye was not surprised. If James chose to leave, that would be the most surprising thing for him.James may leave in the future, but not now, because this Cavaliers team has just won the championship, and the current lineup is complete.

What a smart person James is, he can't just build a little merit here and then go to another team and start again.It is not now to start again. The current team completely listens to him.

"LeBron, why are you telling me this?" Shou Ye asked.He actually knew that James wanted to persuade him to stay too, but he hoped that the other party would come up with something that moved him.

James paused, and then said: "Tom, we had a great time working together last season, and I hope we can continue to work together in Cleveland."

James has made it very clear that he just hopes that Shou Ye can renew his contract with the Cavaliers.

It's not that Shou Ye didn't think about renewing his contract. He was really happy working with James, at least more than happy with Love.Although James plays a bit of a big bag, judging from last season, the signs of his paddling in the regular season are already obvious.As a thirty-year-old man, he has already delegated power as much as possible in the regular season in order to have a "full effort Zhan" in the playoffs.Otherwise, with his ability, the statistics of the regular season cannot be like this.

But Shou Ye also has ambitions, he wants to win the MVP, wants to be the boss, and wants to build a team with his ideas.In the Timberwolves before, he actually didn't have such an opportunity. Although he was a center in the league, many team owners and managers didn't think he was an MVP-level superstar.

You must know that a blue-collar center like Jordan can make the best team. The gold content of the center's best team has been repeatedly ridiculed. ESPN and other media did not rank Shou Ye in the top ten of the league.

It is almost impossible for a star who is not a top ten star in the league to have a "privilege" like James.

Seeing that Shou Ye was silent, James continued to persuade: "Tom, I will soon be 31 years old. I can't do my best in the regular season. If you renew your contract, you will need to take on more offensive and defensive responsibilities. You don't want to be the MVP. Is it? I am willing to be your assistant next season and let you become the team's first offensive point!"

What James said was very straightforward, and he almost handed over the head coach's playbook to Shou Ye for arrangement.And Shou Ye also believes that James does have the ability and appeal to let the coaching staff arrange for him to be the core of the Cavaliers' offense and defense next season.

This is what makes Shou Ye's heart beat. Anyone can draw cakes, but he can see them.James has indeed been gradually decentralizing since last season. Not only him, but Irving has also gained a lot of ball rights.

It's not that James doesn't want to win the regular season MVP, but that the championship is the honor he wants more than the regular season MVP.

In the previous life, after James came to the Cavaliers, he did indeed enter the mode of "regular season paddling, playoffs with heavy punches". At that time, Irving's average shots per game had surpassed him. This is an indisputable fact.
