Chapter 316 Durant's Reply
Chapter 310

After chatting with Durant, as soon as Lei Feng returned to the hotel where he was staying, Dolan called and asked about the situation.

Lei Feng also truthfully told Dolan about Durant. Dolan was taken aback, knowing that there might be uncertainty about Durant, but he had no choice but to wait for Durant in a few days. the answer!

As a businessman, Dolan, if he came to chat with Durant alone, I'm afraid he could trick the second idiot Durant into the Knicks warship...

But Lei Feng is not a businessman, he doesn't have the ability to be eloquent, and he doesn't want to deceive Durant!

For Durant, Lei Feng's attitude is basically whether love comes or not...

……

In the past few days, many big fish in the free market have announced that they have found a club, some have renewed their contract with their home team, and some have found a new club.

Warcraft joined the Eagles with a three-year contract worth more than 3 million U.S. dollars and left the sad place of Houston.

The heat's farce finally came to an end. Wade chose to leave the Heat and joined the Chicago Bulls with a two-year contract of 2 million...

DeRozan renewed his old club, the Raptors, with a five-year contract close to 1.3 million US dollars!

Leader Joe went crazy again and gave Batum in their team a five-year contract worth 5 million US dollars...

For all kinds of big contracts, the US dollar is as worthless as a bean leaf...

And the Knicks finally got an answer about Durant!

On July 7, Durant held a press conference and announced a 21-year contract of 2 million US dollars to join the Warriors!
Lei Feng or anyone in the Knicks was not notified in advance, but this is also a kind of answer, and Durant is not breaking his promise!

After the press conference, in the evening, Lei Feng received a call from Durant.

Lei Feng sneered, hung up Durant's phone without saying a word, and didn't answer the connection.

Now that you have chosen a warrior, there is nothing to say. If you meet in the future, you will be the enemy...

In some matters, Lei Feng's character is a bit extreme, he has no interest in being friends with his opponents...

……

Without Durant, things will be a little troublesome for the Knicks management next!
If Durant was signed at the beginning, then Anthony was signed, and then there was not much salary space left, and the corners and corners were filled casually, and this offseason would be over!

But now things are a bit difficult to deal with. After signing Anthony, the Knicks' total salary is not even above the poor line. It is so miserable...

If you want to raise the salary space near the luxury line, it means that the Knicks have to spend at least 3500 million US dollars!
Sorrow!

The Knicks management is in distress!

How to spend the 500 million US dollars, it seems that it is too difficult to spend it!
If those teams in the small ball market, it is estimated that as long as the poor line is filled in this situation, it will be almost the same. The team spends less money, which owner is not willing...

But the Knicks can't do it, they can't do this at all!
As the largest team in the league, if they dare to control the salary space above the poor line and below the salary cap, the fans will probably scold Dolan to death. Watching the most expensive game in the league, but the owner of their home team is an idiot. Big sting, which fans will be happy.

So Dolan directly issued a death order, he must sign in, and cross out the 500 million US dollars!

……

At the end of July, Anthony finally finalized a new contract with the Knicks, a five-year long-term maximum salary, a contract worth 7 million US dollars!

Lei Feng can be regarded as relieved. With the two main frameworks of himself and Anthony, the Knicks have the hope of competing for the championship!
Soon, the team's management, or the first action of the money-spreading boy, began, signing Seth Curry with a 2-year $600 million contract!

Curry's younger brother is also a small point guard who is good at three-pointers. Although his strength is far inferior to his brother Curry, after all, it is only 2 million US dollars in 600 years, which is quite a bargain.

Rondo lacks offensive firepower, so he just signed Curry, which can be regarded as slightly strengthening the team's firepower at the point guard position!
As for how long Curry will be on the court in the new season, it's hard to say, after all, Lei Feng will often play the point guard position...

But even if Curry doesn't have much outstanding performance, it's not a disadvantage for the Knicks!

A salary of 300 million yuan a year is not much higher than the basic salary. The leftovers to make up the number of people in this market start with a million-dollar annual salary!

Signing Curry is just a small matter. After all, the annual salary of 300 million is less than the salary cap of hundreds of millions, which is really not worth mentioning!
But soon, the Knicks made a big move!

A one-year contract of 1800 million US dollars, signed Jamal Crawford!

As the most well-known sixth man in the history of the league, he was given the nickname Ke 6. He already has two honors for the best sixth man in his hands. The birth made Crawford miss his chance to get his third best sixth man!
When the contract was just announced, many Knicks fans expressed their dissatisfaction!
"Are you kidding me?! 1800 million a year?! Is this dollar a beanie? Give a veteran in his 30s an annual salary of 1800 million?!"

"I really don't understand. If you are so willing to spend money, why don't you sign Durant? You must know that Durant's contract is only 700 million yuan a year..."

"Is it because I haven't watched football for a long time? Shouldn't the annual salary of 1800 be the worth of a first-tier star? What the hell is Crawford?!"

The fans are talking a lot, and they are not very satisfied with this signing...

But the Knicks management is not a fool, they are all human beings, and there is a reason why Crawford can get the 1800 million US dollars!
Crawford's old club, the Clippers, is willing to give Crawford a three-year contract extension of 3 million, which is 4200 million US dollars a year, and the Knicks are considering Gobert's contract renewal next year, so Can only give Crawford a one-year contract...

If it weren't for the Knicks to see the hope of winning the championship, unless Crawford was stupid, he would give up the Clippers' three-year contract and come to the Knicks for this one-year contract!

Veterans definitely need the longer the contract years, the better, no one can guarantee how long they can play, maybe they will retire due to injuries in the new season...

So choosing to join the Knicks is also an adventure for Crawford!
Now let's see if this adventure pays off...

If the Knicks continue to win the championship this season and Crawford has a good performance, he can still get a three-year contract next year and earn a championship ring for nothing...

……

Such a signing is a win-win situation, at least the Knicks are not at a disadvantage!
If it was last season, the Knicks’ signing would be considered crazy, but in this season full of big contracts, if the Knicks don’t spend 1800 million, Crawford will definitely not sign...

Immediately afterwards, the Knicks signed the "Rookie King" Jennings with a one-year contract of 500 million US dollars...

Judging from these three operations of the Knicks, it is obvious that they want to strengthen the depth of the team's backcourt lineup and outside shooting ability!
As for the inside line, the Knicks are really good enough now. With the inside line Gemini and Hernangomez, even Lei Feng can make a guest appearance on the inside line. The Knicks don’t need to worry too much about their inside line. Down this season you don't need to...

The three signings accounted for the Knicks' annual salary of 2600 million, and then the Knicks signed some leftover players, spending a total of about 300 million, and finally made up the 15-man roster for the next season!

Thunder, Anthony, Rondo, Porzingis, Gobert, Crawford, Jennings, Curry Jr., Sanaris, Hernangomez, Vujacic, Deron Williams S...

Such a lineup, at least not worse than last season's lineup!

The only problem is that the Warriors have improved tremendously this offseason, and the Knicks fans are feeling uneasy. Can the Knicks still be the Warriors' opponents this season? !
