Chapter 217 214 The Money War, the Meeting on the South Coast (Part 2 for tickets)

The three-year playoff journey has a total record of 0 wins and 12 losses

"LOGO Man" Jerry West said: "This team is not easy to lead."

He hasn't played well in the playoffs for three years. He wants to play badly but can't. The owner of the Grizzlies is in a hurry.

No big star is willing to come to Memphis, and without a big star, this result is not up or down.The grades are not up and down, and no one wants to come to Memphis in a vicious circle.

This can't be done!

Paul Gasol played in the Grizzlies for 5 years, and his results were 0 wins and 12 losses in the playoffs.

The Grizzlies management believes that this is basically the limit of the Spaniard as the core leader.

What's the point of spending it like this?

Let's do it all over again!

So, they traded Battier for Rudy Gay, and that was just a signal.

Next, it's Gasol's turn.

Seeing that the management is busy selling the team every day and rebuilding it every day, as if the rebuilding only takes a year or two, the LOGO man feels physically and mentally exhausted.

I really want to start over in another place.

Well, in a novel that Wayne read, if the Grizzlies want to rise again, they have to wait until the young diamond boss buys the team and signs an undrafted pick named Link.

But that's just a fiction. In reality, the rise of the Grizzlies must be much longer than that.

The key to whether it can rise or not depends on the second-round pick sent by the Blazers.

After learning that he was traded, Paul Gasol once told the Grizzlies a shocking secret for the sake of a peaceful breakup: "My brother is good at fried chicken, better than me. You must not miss him!"

As for the Grizzlies believe it or not, Gasol can't control it.

I don't know how Xiao Jia felt: "I obviously have the opportunity to go to the big ball market, but you just pushed me to the big country, you are my brother!"

In fact, Gasol was traded to the Trail Blazers, the most anxious is not West, but Popovich!

"Hehe, this is 100 yuan in exchange for a few coins!" After the transaction was concluded, Popovich responded in an interview with reporters.

Can the old thief Vicky not be irritable?

In the past, the Lakers played the glorious bandit tradition of "choosing guards and grabbing centers".

Later, some pioneers formed Wei Ge's sister-in-law combination, so there is no way for people to survive in this Nima West!

All monsters!

Popovich was really in a hurry and jumped in a hurry.

You guys are really playing like dogs, it's not fair at all!

When Wayne first came to the West, Popovich also thought that the Blazers were not a threat anyway.

But now that Gasol has joined the Trail Blazers, the situation is different.

Although Gasol has played so far, he has three honors: the best rookie, the rookie first team and the All-Star substitute.

Oh, last season's All-Star substitute was only included because Stoudemire was reimbursed for the season.

In terms of honor, Gasol is not even a serious All-Star player.

But he is really strong.

The average is close to 20+10 per game. He is skilled in the low position and has a height of 213 with a wingspan of 230. The defense is not only top-notch, but also above average.

He just doesn't have that explosive style of play, but his defense is not as vulnerable as he thinks.

As the cornerstone of the team, Gasol may not be interesting, but it is more than enough to play as a support, okay!

Can Popovich not be irritable?

A lottery team, a fringe team in the playoffs, and now it has suddenly become a powerhouse.

What a deal.

Randolph: You are the coin, your whole family is the coin!The old man is very bad!

Well, in this transaction, people say that the pick is the main body, and Zach is just a balance.

It is estimated that the fat man who is used to smashing pots and jars will rise early in Memphis after this stimulation.

I don't know why, seeing Popovich so irritable, although it has nothing to do with Wayne, Wayne still feels secretly refreshed.

You are the one who is angry!

Let me tell you, even if I don't get to meet you next season, my brother Yao can still clean up the mess for you.

Are you kidding me with the drug combination?snort!

This season, it's really the Wild West.

The Lakers, Spurs, Suns, Mavericks, Nuggets, Jazz, and Trail Blazers are all very strong.

Mosaic may not want to be expelled from the ranks of "strong teams", so on the third day of the opening of the free agent market, he came to Daben with 4 million in four years.

Originally, the salary of the Bulls was higher than that of Mosaic, and they gave 4 million for 6000 years.

As a result, Gou Lei flickered: "Let me tell you, Big Ben, Mosaic is a team with a great center forward tradition! Moreover, our coach Van Gundy, he is very good at defense, you will definitely shine in his hands!

We still have Tracy and Battier. We need to strengthen this summer. We are closer to victory than the Bulls!

And in the west, it can also save you from killing each other with your old friends, so why not do it? "

Daben was limped by fools, so he got on Mosaic's thief ship.

It hurt the bull a lot.

Although Mosaic's offer is not higher than that of the Bulls, it is also a full 1000 million more than the Pistons, and there is still a chance to win. Daben naturally prefers places where he can win.

At this point, the Houston media began to crooked again.

"DPOY+ scoring champion, Mosaic is about to rise into the sky, pointing to the championship!"

How can there be fewer repertoires of the championship every year.

The eastern teams cried and fainted in the toilet.

This means that all those who can be signed have been signed by the Western Conference teams.

However, this is just the beginning, the battle for talent in the western part has just begun.

The Lakers and Trail Blazers are also eyeing the defensively active 04 second-round pick Trevor Ariza.As a result, the Lakers once again acted first and recruited Ariza for 3 million in three years.

Paul Allen is really angry, insisting on forcing me to use money?

So after the Blazers failed to sign Ariza, they immediately poached the Heat's champion James Posey with a two-year, 2 million contract.

Posey has a player option after this season, but even if the next contract is implemented, it will only be 640 million a year.

Now the Blazers are directly earning 2 million in two years, and the average annual salary is 1500 million less than that of the Heat. Can this be tolerated?

For a jigsaw player like Posey, to be honest, one champion is enough, and it is still making money!

So, he readily agreed to the Blazers' invitation.

Not that I don't love Miami, but they really give way too much!

Posey had just been taken, and the Lakers traded Chris Mihm and Smash Parker from the Warriors for the Green Cap Fish.

After all, the green hat fish is a point guard who is familiar with the triangle offense. Zen Master needs him now, and he must answer the call.

The Warriors actually didn't want to let him go, but Lao Yu cried, made trouble and hanged himself. Anyway, he was making a fuss, and finally forced the Warriors to reach a deal.

After Fisher, the Blazers made another move, first renewing the contract of white center Przybilla, and then offering an astonishing 36 million a year to the 110-year-old "kidney fighter" Mourning who only received a veteran's basic salary of 450 million last season!

This is probably the legendary money war

Mourning is also confused, because he is actually still considering whether to continue playing next season.

After all, I have already won a championship, and it is time to enjoy the life of retirement.But continue to earn more, and Mourning will not refuse.

Now that money suddenly fell from the sky, Mourning said that he was a little bit uncontrollable.

"Fuck!" Pat Riley was speechless. He originally planned to keep Mourning with 250 million a year, and he felt that this was already very sincere.

After all, few veterans get a raise at this age.

Who knew that the Blazers' 450 million came out, which completely disrupted Riley's plan.

How can you get Riley 250 million now!

And

It's fine if you poach Posey, but you can also poach Mourning, so be yourself!

Mourning hesitated for a while, and finally told Riley very sorry: "I decided to go west and see how dangerous it is."

Riley: Look at the hammer, you're just greedy for his money!

So, Mourning joined the Trail Blazers for 450 million, and Wayne added crouching dragons and phoenixes!

Brother Wei wants to cry so much, why are you all going to help him?

When he just won the championship, he said he was a good brother for a lifetime

In the next few days, it was basically a money-burning show for the Lakers and Trail Blazers.

After the Lakers got Fisher, they signed Anti-Aircraft Fort Radmanovic.

Not to be outdone, the Blazers took down 3D swingman Amy Uduka.

For the Blazers, after the establishment of Wayne's sister-in-law combination, they basically signed some high-quality role players.

The crazy grabbing plan of the Lakers and Trail Blazers scared the entire league to tremble.

At the same time, watching the formation of the combination of taking drugs and Wayne's sister-in-law, LeBron James, the son of the 03 class who is facing an early contract renewal, has a new plan for his career planning.

While the Blazers and Lakers were throwing money like crazy, LeBron James led a meeting with Bosh, Wade and Carmelo Anthony on the balcony of a Miami beach hotel.

The four of them have a good relationship in private. They ate French fries and sang songs, drank watermelon juice, looked at the beach, and chatted about this year's transfer market.

"It's crazy. Our team's two heroes who won the championship were poached by the Trail Blazers. It's just a simple double salary increase. It's unbelievable!" The new FMVP Dwyane Wade said while shaking his head.

"Hahahaha, this is Paul Allen, buddy, he is never stingy with money. But Wayne joined the Trail Blazers, I really didn't expect it. Their series of operations must have been premeditated for a long time.

Next season, you will meet often, Cameron. "James smiled and looked at Anthony.

"Hey, annoying guy, can we not talk about him?" Anthony shrugged. When Wayne was mentioned, he remembered the pain of the Denver All-Stars two years ago.

"Hey, next season, I'm afraid the West will be very, very strong." Isn't James in pain?Wayne blocked him in the first round of his debut in the playoffs, and he was also very upset.

In fact, he called everyone to come to the meeting this time, not just for nonsense.

It was this series of operations by the Blazers and the Lakers that made James decide to chat with everyone.

"Everyone will renew their contracts with the team in advance this summer." James cut to the point.

"Yeah, what are your plans." Wade looked at James, he knew he had a plan, a plan that might change the league structure.

"Just sign for five years, what else can I do." Guagua replied without thinking.

Bosh did not speak, he vaguely felt that this meeting was not that simple.

"That's right, under normal circumstances, it's a five-year contract.

But have you ever thought about a possibility, if we all sign a 3+1 contract this year and have player options in the last year?"

When James said this, he looked at everyone's eyes.

"If that's the case, we'll be entering free agency in the same year," Wade continued to echo.

"So what? After signing for five years, we also entered the free agent market in the same year." Anthony spread his hands, and Guagua hadn't entered the scene yet.

"No, no, no, I mean, if in the summer of 10, we are still young. If none of us wins the championship at that time, can we report to the same team?"

"Bang!" Bosh almost lost his grip on the watermelon juice, scaring Benlong to death!

Go to the same team to report, how many stars are in their prime?

Is this possible! ?

Anthony didn't speak, but fell into deep thought.

Now instead of signing a five-year contract but only signing a three-year contract, it seems unsafe.

Under normal circumstances, the contract matters are negotiated by the agent.

But this time James directly talked about the 03 class as a player, which caught everyone off guard.

"Anyway, I'll do it, and you Dwayne?"

"I will do the same, LeBron, and I also plan to renew a 3+1 contract."

After speaking, the two looked at Bosh and Angua.

"I haven't figured it out yet." Bosh was frightened.

"Me too, I have to think about it." Angua scratched his head, he felt that this was unrealistic.

"Well, I think this is our chance to rule the alliance in 03. Everyone, think about it carefully!"

James held up the watermelon juice, looked at the beach in Miami, and squinted.

The summer after four years will definitely be even crazier than this year
