NBA: I am the god of basketball

Chapter 181 Expelling Mogou, I Can Consider Joining
Wang Chao waited for Dayao who took the initiative to visit in the hotel room where he was staying.

When he opened the door to welcome Dayao into the room, Wang Chao was slightly taken aback, because Dayao didn't come alone, and with him was Bill Duffy, their manager.

Bill Duffy hadn't said anything to Wang Chao before, but today he suddenly came with Dayao.

Wang Chao instantly understood what Dayao wanted to do.

No wonder it's inconvenient to talk over the phone, but we have to talk face to face.

Dayao must have come to act as a lobbyist for the Houston Rockets, and for this reason he specially recruited agent Bill Duffy.

After the end of this season, Wang Chao can choose to jump out of the contract and re-sign a bigger contract with the team.

This also makes other teams in the league ready to move. Although on the surface, Wang Chao has had a very good life in the Magic, has the team's number one shot right, and has a good relationship with Howard. The team management also gave him With enough respect, you can even intervene in player transactions.

But what if?As long as there is a slight chance to get Wang Chao, they will not give up easily.

After all, Wang Chao's performance in recent years has already determined that he will be one of the most powerful players in the league for at least five years in the future, and he will not give way to superstars such as Kobe and James.

Therefore, the Rockets thought of a strategy of letting Dayao play emotional cards with Wang Chao and persuade Wang Chao.

Dayao has played for the Rockets for nine seasons, and has already had a strong relationship with the team. For him, he very much hopes that the Rockets will become stronger and stronger and win a championship before he retires. It would be his dream.

But Yao still hesitated to recruit Wang Chao.

After all, Wang Chao has flourished in the Orlando Magic, and he is already attacking for the third consecutive championship. He and Howard are still very young, and it is possible to catch up with the basketball god Jordan in the future.

Once Wang Chao really listened to his persuasion and joined the Rockets... With the Rockets' current lineup structure, Dayao really didn't think that one more Wang Chao would be able to directly compete for the championship.

Dayao was a Huaguo basketball player first, and then a Rockets player.

As a representative of basketball in Huaguo, Dayao very much hopes that Huaguo can produce a Jordan-style player. This has extremely far-reaching and important significance for the basketball of Huaguo as a whole, and will encourage more young people to like basketball as a sport. , It can also stimulate the rapid development of Huaguo's basketball youth training.

Therefore, Dayao actually hopes that Wang Chao can stay with the Magic and achieve more and better results.

But when he was struggling, he learned a piece of news from his agent Bill Duffy that stunned him.

Wang Chao seems to be ready to leave Orlando!

Although Bill Duffy did not get the answer clearly from Wang Chao, as a senior agent, he probably had a guess based on his daily communication with Wang Chao and the close relationship between the Magic and Wang Chao this season. .

More importantly, not long ago, the management of the Magic team took the initiative to contact Bill Duffy to communicate, hoping that Wang Chao can choose to fulfill the player option this summer, and it is not recommended that he jump out of the contract and re-sign a new contract.

At present, the situation of labor-management negotiations seems to be unclear. The employers and laborers have sharp conflicts due to interests.

The management of the Magic team is currently not optimistic about the results of the labor negotiations, and feels that there is a high probability that both parties will make a compromise on interests, and the players' income will also be affected by then.

If Wang Chao implements the player option next season, the contract value will be about 1750 million US dollars, which is definitely one of the highest salaries in the league.

Once you jump out of the contract and renew the contract, it is very likely that the initial amount of the new contract will not meet this standard.

Therefore, the suggestion given by the management of the Magic is to let Wang Chao implement the player option and wait and see for another season, and wait until the summer of 2012 before signing a new contract, which can ensure the maximum benefit.

Bill Duffy felt that what the management of the Magic team said was reasonable. As a professional agent, he also felt that the momentum of this labor negotiation was not good, and it was very likely that it would lead to The league entered a long-term hiatus.

But when he communicated with Wang Chao about this matter, Wang Chao was noncommittal, as if he didn't care about this matter at all, and said that he had already made a plan and there was no need to rush to make a decision.

From that moment on, Bill Duffy had a faint feeling that Wang Chao wanted to leave the Magic.

Bill Duffy couldn't figure out why Wang Chao wanted to leave the Magic, but it didn't matter. In his opinion, with Wang Chao's current position, no matter which team he went to, he would have a proper maximum salary. The interests of the agent will not be affected in any way. If he can go to a team with a bigger ball market, the future development prospects may be even better.

It also happened that at this time, he learned from Dayao that the Rockets intended to let Dayao instigate Wang Chao.

Whether it is the ball market or the economic development of the city, Houston is obviously better than Orlando, and Houston is located in Texas. Therefore, compared with teams in other cities, players can pay about 10% less state personal income tax. According to Wang Chao, it is close to 2000 With an annual salary of 200, you can save an additional $[-] million a year, which is by no means a small number.

That's why Bill Duffy volunteered to be a lobbyist with Dayao.

……

"Rocket..."

After a simple conversation and understanding the general situation, Wang Chao shook his head slightly, lost in thought.

He would never have considered the Rockets. The reason is very simple. There is only one reason, and that is the general manager of the Rockets, Mo Gou.

But any Chinese person will hate this old dog to the bone, even if this guy will not do that weird thing until 2019, it will be eight years later, when Wang Chao will not know where to play, But that didn't stop him from hating this guy now.

As long as this guy is in the Rockets, it is impossible for him to join the Rockets.

But everything is not absolutely absolute, there is a possibility that Wang Chao is willing to join the Rockets.

After thinking for a while to organize his words, Wang Chao looked at Dayao and said very solemnly. "Brother Yao, we are all on our own, and I won't be polite to you. It is possible for me to join the Rockets, but there are a few conditions. If the Rockets can do it, I can promise to jump out of my contract and join this summer." Rocket."

Dayao's eyes lit up immediately when he heard the words, he never expected that Wang Chao agreed so simply, he didn't even have time to say what he had thought up before.

"What condition? As long as the Rockets can meet it, I will try my best to get them to meet your condition."

"First." Wang Chao raised a finger. "I want a maximum salary, and I want to be the number one core in the team, and the possession of the ball is completely at my disposal."

Wang Chao, who has already purchased a large amount of real estate in the capital and waited for the appreciation of Bitcoin, is not short of money, but the maximum salary is a symbol of a player's status. In a sense, it is not just money.

The difference between the 1600 million contract extension and the 1700 million contract renewal seems to be only 100 million. It is not harmful to the top superstars, and it is not even enough for them to spend a few times in nightclubs, but this represents the importance the team attaches to him. The Big Three of the Heat have to cut their salaries in order to win the championship as a team, otherwise the top superstars will rarely choose to cut their salaries and renew their contracts.

"No problem, of course." Dayao nodded. Wang Chao's condition is very normal. He is already the number one offensive core in the Magic. The reason is that the Rockets have decreased.

But the second condition that Wang Chao followed immediately caused Dayao's facial muscles to twitch uncontrollably twice.

"Second." Wang Chao raised his second finger. "I want the privilege of a superstar. The standard can refer to James of the Cavaliers. The team's trade and contract extension must be informed to me in advance before being reached. If I don't agree, the deal will be terminated. The team's tactical arrangements, other players' I also want to participate in the playing time and the formulation of tactics..."

Wang Chao Barabara said a lot.

The mouths of Dayao and Bill Duffy also opened wider and wider.

Good guy, are you going to be a football star or an emperor?This condition is too exaggerated, right?

The second condition put forward by Wang Chao had a strong impact on Dayao, who has been honest and loyal to the team throughout his career, and obeyed the coach's tactical arrangements.

Can players still ask for this?

After finishing the second point in one breath, Wang Chao took a sip of his tea and thought to himself, seeing the stunned expressions of Dayao and Bill Duffy. "Surprised? You are too tender."

These requirements mentioned by Wang Chao sound exaggerated, but if you refer to the Cavaliers 2.0 version of James, it is not an exaggeration at all.

In order to please James, let alone the question of who signs the player in the trade, even the amount of the contract depends on James' face.

Tristan Thompson, an ordinary blue-collar player who averaged 8 points and 8 rebounds per game, was forced to sign a five-year contract with James because of his close relationship with Rich Paul. With a big contract of 5 million, Tristan Thompson was dubbed by many fans as the eight wise kings around James.

Also because of James, players who got big contracts that didn't match their worth included JR Smith, Iman Shumpert and many others, and James Jones, the famous dog leg of James, was no longer playing on the court. The ability to compete, but it still depends on the Cavaliers for several years.

Of course, James, as the son of heaven, a superstar in the league, and a small city like Cleveland want to keep him, it is necessary to pay these prices.

Another typical example is the Rockets themselves.

In the future, after Harden asked for a trade and was sent to the Nets as he wished, a well-known NBA reporter broke out several privileges of Harden in the Rockets, which made people jaw-dropping.

First, Harden can decide whether to participate in training. If he is unwilling to train, the Rockets will even cancel the planned training day.

Second, during the Rockets season, after playing away games in Los Angeles, New York, Chicago and other big cities, unless the next is a back-to-back away game, they must leave on the same day to catch up with the game, otherwise the Rockets will stay overnight in the local area, because Harden is going to The nightclub stinks, everyone else has to wait for Harden to play enough before taking a special plane back to Houston together.

Three, if there are 3 days or more in the Rockets' schedule, Harden will cut off the middle day and take a special plane to Las Vegas. Hey, other Rockets players should train and do what they should do.

In this jump, Harden took the initiative to refute the rumors, saying that he went to Las Vegas for special training... Well, other Rockets players were training in Houston, and Harden himself went all the way to Las Vegas for special training One day, the professional attitude is really nothing to say.

Fourth, during the season, the Rockets' itinerary, when will the away game start, when will the plane take off, and the training schedule, the coaching staff has finished making plans, and after the head coach passes it, I will show it to Harden for instructions. Brother Deng nodded and said Yes, then the formal arrangement will be made. If Harden says no, I still have a night show to catch up tonight, then the plane may not take off until the next morning.

Fifth, the final list of the coaching staff and team players must be finalized by Harden, including head coach McHale, Howard's departure, Paul's entry and departure, and Westbrook's entry and departure, all at the request of Harden.

All in all, Harden has never heard the word "no" when he was in the Rockets. Whether it is the team management, coaching staff or even the team owner, they all follow Harden in everything. Do whatever you want.

In fact, Harden's personality is not that bad, and he is not a real ball bully. This can be seen from his performance in the Thunder period, and later in the Nets and 76ers period. Harden can even go from extravagance to frugality, yes It is unlikely that he himself will ask the Rockets to provide him with these conditions.

Therefore, in fact, these privileges of Harden in the Rockets are all spontaneous behaviors of the Rockets to lick Harden and let Harden stay in the team with peace of mind, and Harden has just formed a habit over time.

Considering that Wang Chao's current ability is estimated to be no less than that of Harden at his peak in the future, and even stronger by two points, such a request is not too much, and the reason why he wants these privileges is to make the team more powerful. Stronger, as a time traveler, Wang Chao, who has the advantage of foresight and foresight, if he has no say in team transactions and signings, it would be a great waste.

The Magic briefly gave Wang Chao such a privilege due to trade pressure, but they immediately withdrew the privilege unwillingly this season. It can only be said that they missed an opportunity to create a legendary dynasty team.

If the Rockets agree to Wang Chao’s conditions, at least in the next ten years, they will all have the opportunity to obtain the most cost-effective players at the lowest price. In less than three years, the Rockets will have the most luxurious lineup in the league, invincible !
It's just that this is only Wang Chao's second condition.

Looking at Dayao and Bill Duffy who hadn't recovered from the shock, Wang Chao spoke out his third condition while the iron was hot.

"Third," Wang Chao, who was holding a teacup, had a cold light in his eyes. See you soon!

"The Rockets must fire the general manager of the team before I join. I don't like this person very much. I don't want to work with him on the same team. In addition, the first two conditions are still negotiable. There is no room for the third one. There is room for negotiation, as long as Mo Gou is in the Rockets, I will never consider joining Houston!"
