NBA Absolute Flood Dam

Chapter 1266 Ah Lian Goes to the Lakers

At this time Duncan thought clearly, and said on the phone: "Greg, if you want me to go back, then I will go back."

"OK, then we have a deal." Popovich then hung up the phone.

Subsequently, Popovich and Buford began to discuss the transaction.

He will not simply agree to any quotation. He wants to complete the rebuilding of the Spurs from this transaction, so he initiated a three-way transaction that brought in both the Lakers and the Heat.

Just a Duncan is useless, Duncan is old, and Bynum, the guy who was punched by Li Ba, is not very useful. Artest can use it, just bring Kawhi Leonard, but just These two people, the Spurs have no way to complete the reconstruction, and they are not worth the six picks that the Spurs paid to the Magic. He wants more.

"Are the Spurs crazy? What can we get?" After receiving the offer sheet, Pat Riley twitched.

Likewise, Kupchak's brow twitched.

The Spurs proposed a three-way deal. The Spurs paid Howard and three role players to get Duncan + Artest + Bosh + Parker.

But the deal must be completed, because Nike must let Howard join the Heat or the Lakers to form an advantage over the Suns.

And there is another point, the Heat and the Lakers cannot lose too much in this transaction, it is reinforcement, not weakening.

This is a conflict, a conflict between the Heat and the Lakers, and a conflict between Nike and the Heat and the Lakers.

Each has its own interests, and the transaction was not completed immediately, and it fell into wrangling.

On June 6, the league conducted a new round of labor agreement negotiations.

After two and a half hours of negotiations, with no results, the league officially announced that the NBA will be suspended at 7:1 on July 0.

The other teams didn't know how to react, and both the Lakers and the Heat became anxious.

Because this offseason, with a super fish, they don't want to miss out.

So if Howard can't be traded, the Lakers and Heat will go all out to chase Li Ba.

The same is true for Nike behind them. They hope to reach a deal with the Spurs before the lockout, so as not to have long nights and dreams.

But Nike will definitely not support the idea of ​​the Lakers and the Heat chasing Li Ba, so it is the most willing to reach a deal among the three.

Finally, at five o'clock in the afternoon on the 30th, with the efforts of Nike, the deal about Howard was finally reached.

The Spurs got their wish and got Duncan + Artest + Parker + Bosh, and paid Howard + six role players.

In fact, what the Spurs paid was six first-round picks.

In fact, Popovich is not satisfied with this deal, but there is no way, his plan went bankrupt. If Kawhi Leonard can't play, this lineup has no future, but Howard can't be kept, so that's the only way to go.

The Lakers got Howard and two role players, and paid Duncan + Parker + Artest.

The Heat got four role players and paid for Bosh, which just matched the contract.

The Heat suffered the most from this deal, but Nike promised the owner of the Heat that they would pay a large amount of sponsorship fees to the team, and also promised to use other stars to join the Heat in the future, so Pat Riley had no choice but to dismantle the Big Three. The lineup completes the Spurs and Lakers.

Before the deal was announced, Gao Yuanyuan learned something through her network, and complained to Li Ba:

"Look, this is the world of capital, Nike is really eyeing you."

Li Ba thought about the Spurs' lineup, and asked with some doubts: "How did the Spurs think about it? They traded six first-round picks for this lineup. Does this lineup have potential? Isn't this rebuilding at all?"

"So what? The Spurs have selected No. [-] and No. [-] picks like Oden and Beasley. Isn't it the same as the reconstruction failure?"

Gao Yuanyuan laughed.

"Okay, that's someone else's business, and it's none of your business? Husband, come and discuss where we're going for vacation?" the girl shouted from the side.

"I'm going to the beach to play." Guoguo shouted.

"No." The girl resolutely vetoed it.

"What are you discussing? We are traveling around the world this time, and we have a lot of time, several months..." Li Ba said.

"Then we have to draw up a route, don't we just run around?" the girl said.

Gao Yuanyuan said with envy and hatred on his face: "Sure enough, it's better to be a boss. I have time to travel around the world. Now I don't even have time to have children. I only make money for you. Jiehui has complained several times."

"You're the boss yourself, okay?" Li Ba said angrily.

Gao Yuanyuan straightened his expression and asked solemnly, "Seriously, if the suspension lasts too long and affects the regular season next season, what are your plans?"

"Will it?" Li Ba asked in surprise.

He remembered that the last labor agreement negotiation went smoothly. Could something go wrong this time?

"What do you think? This time is different from the last time. The 08 financial crisis meeting has been negotiating, and the talks have been closed." Gao Yuanyuan said.

"Our football market has expanded so much, so the management hasn't made any money? The Suns make a gross profit of [-] million or [-] million a year." Li Ba said.

Gao Yuanyuan said: "The sun is the sun, and only a few teams in the league make a lot of money. Other teams lost money before the expansion of the ball market. After the expansion of the ball market, although they made some money, they encountered financial difficulties. This is why the labor and management cannot reach an agreement. The labor side wants to increase the salary cap, and the management not only does not want to increase the salary cap, but also wants to cut the soft salary cap.”

"What will happen if we can't reach an agreement in the end?" Li Ba asked.

Gao Yuanyuan said: "The league will require players to accept a hard salary cap of 4500 million U.S. dollars, cancel the guarantee contract, and at the same time, players will have to cut their salaries by 33%, cancel the hard salary cap of 6200 million U.S. dollars and the negotiation of a total salary of 20 billion U.S. dollars, etc. .In short, very troublesome."

"Am I going to give up the last year of the contract?" Li Ba asked.

"Whether you give up or not is another matter. Even if you have a contract in hand, once the league makes strict regulations, your salary will be cut by 33%." Gao Yuanyuan said.

"With so much reduction, why should I play basketball? It's better to play a few rounds of boxing." Li Ba said angrily.

"Big Hammer, Guoguo likes to fight because of your influence." The girl beside him said angrily.

"Yeah, that's what my dad taught me."

Guoguo is very good at reading facial expressions, and is also very good at throwing blame. She knew that her mother should not be angry at this time, so she said to her mother with her little face up.

"Puchi!" The girl and Gao Yuanyuan laughed.

Li Ba expressed his embarrassment at being blamed by this airtight padded jacket.

At this time, Gao Yuanyuan's cell phone rang.

"Kupchak's." She looked at it, said a word, and connected the phone.

"Hello, Mr. Kupchak, this is Kao."

"Hi Gao, I want to talk to you about the Yi deal," Kupchak said, adding, "I hope to make a deal before the lockout."

Gao Yuanyuan frowned and looked at Li Ba.

Nike has been targeting Li Ba. If Ah Lian goes to the Lakers, it will help Nike. She wants to know what Li Ba thinks.
