The edge of basketball is compelling

Chapter 337 337 decides fate, the championship parade!
"Dwyane Wade, Jimmy Butler, Danny Green, Monta Ellis, Afflalo..."

When Zhou Si asked about the high-quality second positions in the free market, General Manager Orsi blurted out.

Obviously, this year's Matthews and Ye Ze will definitely receive super high offers. The Blazers may not be able to sign them back. At that time, their second position will be extremely short of people. If they want to defend their title, they must strengthen .

The Blazers' salary space this year is very healthy, and they can even sign a superstar with a maximum salary.

"How did they reply?"

Zhou Si asked with great interest.

"They are all interested, but the desire to join is not that strong.

Wade wants the Cavaliers forever, Butler obviously doesn't want to leave Chicago, Green doesn't want to leave Popovich, Afflalo wants to see his own market, as for Ellis..."

General Manager Orsi paused.

"We already have you and Damien, and we don't need another defender with the ball. Moreover, if he and Damien partner in the backcourt, the defensive end will often be blown up."

Zhou Si nodded, and crossed out the names of these five people in his mind.

If you don't accept any olive branch, then 886.

With so many players in the NBA, Zhou Si still can't believe that he can't find a good second position. Besides, if they can't, they can start with Courtney Lee and find a more reliable substitute!

Zhou Si shook his head and continued browsing.

In the player plan, Lillard's early contract renewal ranks first!
Before Zhou Si came, Lillard gave hope to many Portlanders. After Zhou Si came, Lillard, who knew how to be grateful, did not make trouble in the locker room. Instead, he was quickly impressed by Zhou Si's skills and willingly Be a second-in-command.

Now that Lillard is in the market, it is a safe maximum salary in the free market, so General Manager Orsi means to renew the contract in advance.

Seeing Zhou Si nod his head, Orsi let go of the big stone in his heart.

After all, although Lillard is worth the price, he is not indispensable to the Trail Blazers. The maximum salary extension is actually not cost-effective, and it is more about favors.

Zhou Si doesn't care, he is eager for his teammates to renew their contracts with maximum salaries.

Of course, they have to have that strength.

Not enough salary space for the team?

Pay the luxury tax.

He believes that boss Paul Allen is happy to pay the money.

In addition to Lillard, McGee, James Johnson and Douglas will also expire next year, but General Manager Orsi means that James Johnson and Douglas are role players and there is no need to renew their contracts in advance.

For McGee, considering that Jokic's growth is likely to require a maximum salary, coupled with Zhou Si's maximum salary, although the team may be able to afford it, the rest of the operation will be difficult. It is better to see the situation next year.

For Matthews, Ye Ze, and Casspi whose contracts expired, the general manager of Orsi meant that they could sign them back as long as the premium was not too high.

Zhou Si shook his head and drew an "X" on Casspi's name.

Last year this guy wanted to earn a big contract, but this year he just got his wish.

He also looked at the water dispenser in the Blazers, who wouldn't?
This is followed by the offers each player has received.

Zhou Si browsed roughly.

Pointing to one of them, he said to General Manager Orsi:
"Trade Yi Jianlian away.

He is a bit out of place on our bench, I think he can develop better, and Nikola also needs more experience. "

General Manager Orsi opened his mouth and did not speak.

This deal is obviously a bit of a loss...

But considering Zhou Si's status, he endured it...

"You talk to the management of the Bobcats, one Biyombo is not enough, let them at least pay for another second-round pick."

In Zhou Si's view, the Trail Blazers are actually not at a loss. Although Biyombo is inconspicuous now, he has a strong ability to protect the frame and is a good supplement for Millsap.

Zhou Si just took a rough look at the list of free agents. Sure enough, as General Manager Orsi said, the only ones who are stronger at the second position are the ones he mentioned.

But Zhou Si also found a few players who were more interested. Zhou Si drew a circle on the player's name to see if these players had any plans to join the Trail Blazers.

The main rotation is all there, and Zhou Si believes that as long as they play well, they will still be the favorites for the championship next season!
By the way, there is also the draft.

The Trail Blazers' draft pick this year is the 30th pick in the first round and the 60th overall pick in the second round.

Zhou Si can't remember these clearly, and it seems that there is no impressive rookie like Jokic who fell to the low pick.

Zhou Si asked General Manager Orsi to mainly inspect the second position.

There are no stars, rookies and veterans.

In the future, they will still be the pioneers!

……

After bidding farewell to General Manager Orsi, Zhou Si flew to Chicago with his parents to have a meal with Ye Qin's parents.

The two families met very harmoniously, Ye Qin's parents obviously doted on Ye Qin very much, and obeyed her in everything, only Zhou Si always felt that there was a "murderous aura" around him...

In addition to setting a wedding date, Zhou Si also took the time to help shoot advertisements for the "Magic God II" sneakers, and at the same time signed many sneakers by the way!

His sneakers are selling like crazy now, they are pre-sold out before they are produced, and there is no stock at all!

These signature sneakers are also gifts reserved by fans and Anta in advance!
In Anta's opinion, cooperating with Zhou Si is the most correct decision they have ever made!
On June 6th, the day when China's college entrance examination results are released, Portland's championship parade finally begins!
Portland is full of people, and everyone has participated in this grand carnival.

It's 23!
They waited for a full 23 years, and this day finally came!
How could they not be excited!
Blazers owner Paul Allen once again showed his arrogance and directly turned this championship parade into a national carnival!
A total of almost 120 fans participated in this parade, which can be described as unprecedented!

On this day, the roads of the parade were covered with rose petals, and the rain of rose petals continued with the "rose theme" parade vehicles!
Really - trench!

Zhou Si looked very handsome in a red T-shirt with the championship trophy printed on it.

With his waving, the screams of the fans never stopped.

Taking advantage of this parade, Zhou Si once again gave back to the fans, giving various gifts such as the "Demon God II" champion customized sneakers, the champion customized Gatorade, and the champion customized Mengniu.

The developers are not at a loss, they know that this is a good opportunity for publicity.

When the Trail Blazers' parade vehicles came to the Rose Garden Arena, the slogan of "Trail Blazers Championship" resounded through the sky!

On the stage outside the Rose Garden Arena, the championship speech officially began.

The first to take the stage was owner Paul Allen, even though it had been several days since he won the championship, he was still immersed in the joy of winning the championship.

"Thank you Zhou, thank you each and every one of you!

You are Portland heroes! "

Paul Allen expressed his excitement at the end of his speech.

For him who is already seriously ill, the Blazers' championship may be the best gift.

With the completion of the speeches of the Blazers and Coach Stotts, the championship parade slowly came to an end. The 2014-2015 season officially came to an end!
