i'm really an insider

Chapter 298 Chapter 295: Green Devil, Business Alliance (6.3K begging tickets)

After watching the draft, Wayne concluded that the Grizzlies are likely to be the biggest winners.

Taking Conley and sister-in-law, among the best players in the 07 draft, the Grizzlies took two at once, and they didn't pay much for it.

Make sure you don't lose.

From next season, whoever meets the Grizzlies will really lose a layer of skin.

This little sister-in-law, what a pity.

Since the management has used Sun Yue to declare that Wayne can participate in the draft in the future, then Wayne will not be polite in the future.

In the future, we must communicate with the management in advance, plan ahead, and be organized and disciplined.

Wayne was able to use his open eyes to make things crazy in the draft.

It has to be said that it is a great regret in life that I failed to recruit my sister-in-law and sister-in-law together to make dumplings together.

But it doesn't matter, there will be more opportunities to squeeze wool in the future.

and……

The Lakers didn't get a sister-in-law either, which is great!

After all, there is no big sister-in-law deal in this history, and the little sister-in-law will not leave the Lakers.

At that time, the Lakers will have Chairman Yao, sister-in-law and Bynum at the same time

This center reserve is simply invincible.

Even if they don't need so many centers, Bynum and his sister-in-law just exchange one of them, the transaction value is extremely high, and they can get a good combat power.

Thank goodness the little sister-in-law didn't go to the Lakers!

Well, now the Blazers not only have to become stronger themselves, but also have to be careful not to make others stronger.

NBA teams are always restricting each other.

At this time, the whole world is discussing the Celtics' blockbuster deal after the draft.

For most people, this deal is really shocking.

Ray Allen and Pierce are going to join forces, and the East will be in chaos.

It is not so easy for the Cavaliers to enter the Finals again.

But Wayne didn't respond to this. He had already experienced the combination of the Big Three.

It's not the climax yet, when KG comes, it's not too late for you to be excited.

Danny Angie thinks so too, and it's not the climax yet.

This summer is bound to be extraordinary.

Especially for the championship Portland Trail Blazers

※※※

Although the Trail Blazers won the championship trophy this season, it does not mean that the Trail Blazers are invincible.

In the Western Conference Finals, the Trail Blazers were beaten badly by Kobe.

To put it bluntly, if it weren't for being unable to guard against Kobe, Pao'er wouldn't need to grab both offensive and defensive ends, and use his short body to fight against the big-muscle bully Kobe, fighting until the gun mount was injured.

Paoer: You are short, your whole family is short!My gun mount alone is 2 meters long!

Although the G6 Trailblazers in the Western Conference finals sacrificed the top five, it seemed to be very effective, but Kobe also scored more than 40 points.

If it weren't for Wayne's explosive 40-point triple-double, the death of the top five in that game may not be easy.

Therefore, reinforcement is definitely needed.

Continue to let it go, and next season will use the same team to fight against the Lakers, and it is still uncertain who will win and who will lose.

After all, as far as this season is concerned, the strengths of the Lakers and the Trail Blazers are indeed very close.

In a match of close strength, whoever loses can win.

A championship team is not necessarily a perfect team.

The championship team also has its own shortcomings.

The shortcoming of the Trail Blazers lies in the second and third positions. They lack a guy who can single-handedly defend and limit stars.

If you want to strengthen this position, but also have the feasibility of operation, then Tony, who just touched the edge of the star last season, is a very good candidate.

Last year, not long after the start of the season, Steve Patterson tried to trade Tony, but Lao Li, who loved Tony very much, refused to agree.

It is indeed a bit difficult to get something from Lao Li.

He, Lao Li, has always robbed others. When will he see others stealing Lao Li's things?

This year, Patterson is "unwilling to die" and continues to try to trade Tony and induce Tony to cheat.

No, how can this be called cheating?

Tony was originally with Wei Ge from the beginning!

Tony was really strong when he came. Although he was injured, he could still gamble.

Secondly, he is also a teammate that Wayne likes, which helps to further consolidate the good atmosphere in the locker room and also helps to keep Wayne's heart.

Now the Celtics have traded for Ray Allen, and Tony has suffered serious injuries, which means that Tony will definitely lose his main position in the second position!

So this time, the Celtics may not necessarily hold on to it.

If only Tony could come and stay in shape.

If they meet the Lakers next season, they will have a great chance of winning!

Just when Patterson thought everything would go according to his expectations, he was turned away.

Regarding Tony Allen's deal, Rivers said it was acceptable.

The Trail Blazers are willing to use Dixon + Tucker, which is very sincere.

If it was placed last year, Rivers would definitely refuse without even thinking about it.

But now, a seriously injured Tony can still sell so much, what kind of bicycle do you want?

Rivers told Angie what he thought, but Angie shook his head.

"Of course I can't accept this deal. I will tell the Trail Blazers and we will think about it."

As a result, Patterson's plan to try to trade Tony ran aground again.

However, this time at least the other party didn't directly reject it.

Then continue to stalk!

While Patterson was still trying to find a way to strengthen the league, the league's annual "rule, clause modification, and increased voting conference" also officially started.

This is a routine meeting held by the league every summer, mainly attended by the owners or general managers of 30 teams.

In this meeting, the league council will throw out several most popular rule or clause modification proposals, which will be voted anonymously by representatives of the 30 teams.

As long as more than 20 teams agree to a certain proposal, the proposal will be implemented immediately if it is passed, and vice versa.

Under normal circumstances, this regular meeting is just a formality.

Because most proposals will not be passed.

The NBA has formed stable rules and development models for so many years, and these things will not change easily.

For example, last season there was a proposal to change the NBA's shot clock to 30 seconds.

For another example, someone once proposed to reduce the time for the second attack to 14 seconds to speed up the pace of the game.

Both proposals were rejected without any suspense.

These rule-changing proposals, unless they can limit superstars, generally fail to pass.

Therefore, most of the time, the conference ends with the rhythm of "vetoing all proposals".

This year, Patterson participated in the meeting on behalf of the Trail Blazers.

In the conference room, he also continued to discuss with Danny Ainge about the Tony Allen trade.

Angie smiled kindly: "I also really want to complete the deal, but Tony is a very talented player, let me think about it for another two days."

Angie didn't say anything to death, Patterson could only smile and nod.

Subsequently, the council meeting officially began.

As in previous years, most proposals were rejected.

The first item is to change the All-Star voting system from fan voting to half fan voting and half media voting.

In the end, 28 against and 2 in favor, the proposal was invalidated.

The second item increases the chances of the three teams with the worst records getting the No. [-] pick.

Well, it is estimated that a poor team watched the 35-win Timberwolves magically draw the No. [-] lottery and raised it unconvinced.

Is it easy for labor and management to work hard for a bad season?As a result, the No. 35 pick went to the team with [-] wins.

play it!

In the end, 6 agreed and 24 opposed, and the proposal was still not passed.

Because if this proposal is passed, everyone's performance will definitely be even crazier.

At that time, the quality of the game will drop, the fans will not buy it, and everyone will have no money to make.

Therefore, it is impossible for a proposal to support bad performance to be passed.

It is not surprising that there are many people who oppose it.

In the future, the probability of a team with a poor record not only not increasing, but even decreasing further!

It is everyone's responsibility to resist bad performance.

The third proposal is to abolish the trade deadline, and trades can be made at any time throughout the year except during the playoffs.

After all, after the trade deadline, lineup adjustments may not necessarily be perfect.Before the start of the playoffs, the team should continue to be given the opportunity to build the lineup.

This time, the vote was 15 to 15.

Although half and half, but according to the alliance regulations, if less than 20 people agree, then the proposal still cannot be passed.

In this way, all kinds of weird proposals were put forward, but also rejected by the general managers in a fancy way.

Finally, the last proposal for today.

"The last item, which is today's ninth proposal. After the vote on this proposal is over, gentlemen, you can go back.

So, let me talk about the specific content.

The ninth proposal is a new clause, tentatively named the Super Rookie Clause.

If a player has been elected to the MVP during the four years of his rookie contract, or has been selected to the starting lineup in the All-Star Game twice, or has been selected to the All-NBA Team twice.

Then, in order to reward the player, when he signs the second contract of his career, he can get a maximum salary contract that accounts for 30% of the team's salary cap, which is an increase of 5% compared with the old contract.

Let's discuss, gentlemen. "

After the host of the council finished the content of this clause, Patterson immediately felt that something was wrong.

This is really aimed at Wayne!

Because looking at the entire league now, Wayne is the only one who meets this condition!

Although Howard and Paul have both entered the best team this season, they have only entered once so far, and they do not meet the conditions for the time being.

Although James and Wade have entered the best team twice during their rookie contracts, they have already renewed their contracts last year and do not meet the conditions.

From the current point of view, this clause was born for Wayne.

Patterson smiled, you don't really think Allen cares about that little money, do you?

What about the 30% maximum salary, even if it is 35% of the maximum salary, Allen is willing to give it to Wayne!

Do you want to make trouble with this trick?

Everyone is also talking about it. Some people say, shouldn't this kind of proposal appear in labor negotiations?How did you show up at this kind of meeting?A bit out of place.

Some people say that it is very difficult for a small ball market to retain high-potential rookies, but such a clause is disgusting. Can a small team survive?

Walsh is this kind of person. He thinks about whether he can renew the contract of the three little beasts at the same time after the proposal is passed.

Well, it seems that he still has great confidence in his three beasts.So sure they'll get 2 All-Star starts or 2 All-NBA selections.

But at this time, Danny Ainge stood up: "I hope everyone will seriously consider this proposal, which is the most meaningful proposal I have heard today.

Think about it, if a team can easily re-sign two super rookies at 25% of the maximum salary, that only accounts for 50% of the salary space.

Then they can still sign another player with a 30% maximum salary, and there is still plenty of room for 20% to sign role players.

Can you imagine how terrifying such a team is?

Three superstars who are in their prime!It's the year of the fight!

If such a team is born, then everyone can only accompany them! "

When Anji came out suddenly, everyone fell silent and continued to listen to him.

"But if you increase the starting salary to 30%, it can encourage super rookies, which is what he deserves.

Second, you can also restrict the existence of this imbalance.

If you sign two super rookies with 30% of the starting salary, and then sign a superstar with 30% of the starting salary, then the salary cap will go down by 90%!

Therefore, this clause can make the league more balanced while bringing benefits to super rookies.

Of course, I'm not mirroring any team or anyone here, just my thoughts.The final voting decision is still in your hands. "

After speaking, Angie sat down, and Cavaliers owner Gilbert almost stood up and applauded.

This clause seems to reward rookies, but in fact, to put it bluntly, it is to limit the super rookies Wayne and Paul!

Not only the Trail Blazers, but also to limit the Pacers, a team that secretly hoards high-quality rookies.

Think about it, if Roy, Aldridge, and Granger all play out and only renew their contracts with 25% of the maximum salary, God knows how long the Pacers will dominate the East.

This clause was initiated by the letter writers Gilbert and Angie!

Well, for business, I didn't specifically target anyone, it's just that everyone wants to make money, and everyone wants to win the championship.

If Paul can't be selected to the best team in the future, well, he may not be a super rookie, and it doesn't matter if he stays in the Trail Blazers.

But if he is still so strong in the future, or even stronger, the Blazers will renew Wayne, Paul and Gasol with a maximum salary and sign a bunch of high-quality players.

Boy, God knows how many consecutive championships the Blazers can get.

Did the other teams really study with the prince?

Even if a lineup can be built to compete with it through trades, it is very rare for a team.

Most teams will be thankful for one star in their prime, or three.

In this day and age, no one can imagine a lineup like that.

Mousse: Don't think about it, see the outcome in 10 years.

You know, both Wayne and Paul are still growing up!

That's it, everyone has already won the championship.

There are no restrictions, and you can get it later.

If this clause comes out, the Blazers can of course keep the three with a maximum salary.

But in this way, the space is completely locked.

If any one of the three of them makes a fuss, the contract is in their hands, and if the transaction cannot be made, there is no room for reinforcement.

Both Pao'er and Gaso have a history of injuries.

Therefore, in general, even if this super rookie clause is introduced, it is still feasible for a team to sign three players with a maximum salary at the same time.

What's more, Allen is also willing to pay the luxury tax.

However, the team may lose their wife and lose their troops by operating in this way, with high risks and low returns.

Patterson looked at Angie, he really didn't expect Angie to stand up and say those words.

Yeah, it's not just about Wayne, it's about Paul's contract extension as well.

Paul has already started the All-Star team once, and he may trigger this clause.

And, very unfortunately, Wayne, Paul and Gasol's extensions are fairly close together.

In this way, the salary cap will not rise too much, and the space will still be locked.

If this clause is introduced, it will be really difficult to operate.

"Danny, what do you mean?"

"It's no fun, Steve. I just thought it was fun for everyone, that's all.

I'm not targeting you, it's all about balance, that's all.

Oh, right.Although I am not targeting you on this matter, there is one thing I must be honest with you.

Tony Allen, it is impossible for us to trade to you!This is not a question of chips, and it doesn't matter what chips you bring.

Because it is impossible for me to give up an important combat power to the main contender on the way to the championship.

Even if it's useless for me to hold Tony, I won't give it to you.

To tell you the truth, from the beginning to the end, I didn't consider your trade proposal.

Sorry, everything is business. "

After speaking, Angie turned her head.

At this time, he no longer had a hippie smile, no longer the friendliness just now, only the coldness of a businessman.

A player who dared to say that Bird should be traded in front of Auerbach when he was a player, or a player who dared to think about selling the boss, this is Danny Ainge.

His credo is - for the team, there is nothing that cannot be sacrificed, and there is no means that cannot be used.

He is a typical American businessman, many people will hate him, but he can really bring benefits to the team.

Although he is scheming, although he is merciless in stabbing a knife, although Angie may be sorry to many people.

But for the Celtics, he really deserves it!

Danny Angie, a manager as calm as a machine, a gambler and devil with green blood.

But as long as he is there, Celtics fans can always see the hope of revival!

No, wouldn't the joining of Ray Allen let the Celtics get rid of their identity?

He didn't even spare his own people, let alone fulfilling the pioneers.

The Blazers are the champions and will still be favorites next season.

Send them a quality defensive player at the two?

Well, there is everything in the dream.

How easy is it to form a super lineup?

Patterson felt goosebumps all over his skin. Yes, he and Wayne lived in harmony for a year, which made him forget that the NBA is a place where you cheat me, I cheat you, you suck my blood, and I gnaw your bones.

At this time, Donny Walsh found Patterson.

The two had just had contact last summer because of Wayne's deal, so they had a bit of a common language.

"We can't let this regulation pass!" Walsh was in a hurry, and he was still counting on using his three little beasts to make the Pacers brilliant for more than ten years!

If you do this, you can't afford to sign a second contract, what a fart of Brilliant.

"It doesn't matter what you say, Donnie, we only have two votes! I have to call Alan and ask Alan!"

Everyone at the scene was discussing, making phone calls, and making calculations.

After Danny Ainge mentioned the purpose of this clause other than rewarding rookies, everyone really paid attention to it.

The host of the council also called Boss Si, and Boss Si said: "Give them enough time to think about it, don't rush them."

Well, Boss Si had expected this situation a long time ago.Although the power of this clause will not be immediately apparent, the intention is also obvious.

He wants Wayne to win, but he doesn't want Wayne to keep winning.

He wants a dynasty to emerge, but not just one dynasty.

Stern wanted just three things—balance, balance, and balance.

Anyway, the right to choose is in the hands of the general managers of each team, and all Stern can do is to make suggestions.

This league, after all, still needs to be controlled by the team itself.

"What!?" Paul Allen was a little surprised after hearing the call.

How the hell did I get sanctioned after only winning one championship?

There is no way, it is not impossible to win three, four or five championships without sanctions

"Do you want to tell Wei, do we agree or disagree? No, it seems to be bad for him, but agree" Patterson was a little embarrassed.

"Don't tell Wei yet, we'll discuss it later." Allen was very calm, after all, he was someone who had seen big storms.

Why ask Wayne about this?People can obviously get more, so you ask if this is passed?

Wayne said pass it, accept the money.If it doesn't work, if there is dissatisfaction hidden in his heart, who will the Blazers cry to?

Doesn't this embarrass Wayne?

This is actually the problem facing the Blazers. If you don't pass it, people say that you are not sincere to Wayne, and you are not willing to give 5% more salary.

Let's go, the issue of contracting after a few years is difficult to deal with.

It's just not human inside and out.

Give Wayne a super rookie contract, Allen is fine.

As for how to keep this lineup, it can only be considered after the fact.

Moreover, Wayne is a player who worked hard to win the championship trophy for the Trail Blazers, a player who made the team go to glory.

It's hard for him to take a vacation now, and Allen doesn't want him to worry about it again.

Four hours later, it was already night, and everyone said they had made a decision.

In the end, the voting turned out to be surprising.

22 votes in favor and 8 votes against, the super rookie clause officially came into effect!

"Because only Wei Wei meets the requirements of this clause in the entire league now, we decided to call the super rookie clause the Wayne Clause, is it okay?" the head of the council asked with a smile.

"No problem." Everyone replied.

"Then, the Wayne clause will take effect when the free agency market opens this year!"

"Snapped!"

A hammer is fixed.

At this time, Wayne, who was still on vacation, received a call from the 04 little brother Happy Beast.

"Wei, don't you renew your contract with the team? I have promised the team to renew the contract in advance, with a maximum salary of 5 million for 8500 years. Hahahaha, I will be the man who can replace you Wayne alone in the future!"

Howard is happy to be able to renew his contract with a maximum salary.What does max salary mean?I, Xiao Huo, am also a top player in the league!

Although the official signing will have to wait until July, but a verbal agreement with the team is basically done.

"Congratulations, Dwight, you don't have to worry about my affairs." Wayne shook his head, Xiao Huo, Xiao Huo, people can't drift.

Brother Wei, do you still care about that maximum salary?

My sneaker contract is higher than the maximum salary, little brother.

"By the way, can you come to my training camp this summer?"

Wayne thought, it would be inconvenient for Chairman Yao to take a rest.Then playing World of Warcraft is also very good!

I'm so maxed out!

I just don't know if the playful Happy Beast is willing to participate. I was worried about this last year, so I didn't invite him.

"Training camp? Okay, I'll go and have fun! Top-salary player, you must give Brother Wei some face, and let the scene stand up for you, hahahahaha!" Howard was so happy that he agreed with a slap on the head.

Wayne chuckled, no one knows how to pull wool better than me.

That night, Kevin Garnett also called Danny Ainge.

Pierce and Ray Allen convinced him that he would like to join the Celtics!

Angie shook his red wine glass, imagining everyone's expressions when they saw the news of Wayne's terms and Garnett's joining the Celtics after the free agency market opened.

This summer, not pink memories, but green memories!

This set of combos should be enough for the Blazers to drink a pot.

Hey, talk about whether you hate it or not.

It's all business, business.

　The second update is here, today's update is close to 1.3W, let's go here first.Originally, today is the last day of the double monthly pass, and I want to have more.But because of the accident where the cat killed the computer, all my efforts all morning were wasted.After that, I went directly to the Internet cafe to code words until now, and I haven't bothered to have a bite of food until now.Moreover, these two chapters are quite time-consuming today.The draft, various terms, and various materials have been written and revised. 1.3W words, it can be regarded as the usual amount, but it is really not too much.If everyone is willing, Lao Ge also hopes that everyone can give some tickets on the last day of the double monthly ticket. Thank you in advance~ Let’s have a meal first, and then continue to study the next plot.
