Super Evolution of Basketball

Chapter 605 Forcing the Palace
Inside a villa in Beverly Hills.

Scarlett Johansson came around from behind the sofa, sat beside Yuan Qingshan, snuggled into his arms and said, "I know that although you don't say anything on the surface, you still can't let go of Paul's matter in your heart."

After she finished speaking, she looked up at Yuan Qingshan's expression, Yuan Qingshan seemed to be lost in thought, and then sighed softly.

After confirming that Yuan Qingshan did not reject this topic, Scarlett Johansson continued: "Actually, when Paul George fired Gakki in the playoffs and re-signed his agent, you were already worried, right?"

Sighing again, Yuan Qingshan put his arm around Scarlett Johansson, squeezed his brow with the other and said, "It's really a headache."

Scarlett Johansson raised her face and asked, "Why don't you ask Paul out and make things clear?"

Yuan Qingshan shook his head: "Do you still remember what Bryant said?"

Of course Scarlett Johansson didn't know, she also shook her head, she didn't care about anyone in the alliance except Yuan Qingshan.

Yuan Qingshan continued: "For the Lakers team, there is no need to recruit a player to come here. This person needs to play for this team from the bottom of his heart. At the same time, he must be able to withstand the pressure of living in the Lakers team and following the legendary footsteps of the Dynasty team. To achieve these, this person must be extraordinary."

"If you have to do everything possible to persuade you to come to the Lakers to carry the team, then you are not suitable for the Lakers at all."

Scarlett Johansson said without thinking: "But Paul is just renewing his contract, and he doesn't need him to change the environment. Is it difficult? After all, you cooperated so well this season."

Yuan Qingshan stretched his waist and said, "Okay, dear, we are not Paul, are we?"

What he meant was to let Scarlett Johansson stop worrying about this. No one is Paul George, and no one knows what he is thinking at the moment.

Yuan Qingshan feels that the only thing he can do is to persuade the team to leave the maximum salary to Paul George, and he is also confident of getting Paul George's contract extension.

As Scarlett Johansson said, didn't they cooperate well this season?

At the request of Yuan Qingshan, the magician temporarily stopped contact with Kawhi Leonard's team.

I don't know if the other party thought he was playing hard to get. Two days later, Kawhi's agent uncle called and asked the Lakers to keep the maximum salary and leave it to Kawhi Leonard.

The magician immediately told Yuan Qingshan that Yuan Qingshan still had the same idea, don't care about anyone, just wait for Paul George.

After the magician hung up the phone, he was very depressed. He can be [-]% sure that if the Lakers can recruit Kawhi Leonard, it will be a comprehensive upgrade to the third position. Paul George is very strong, but he is still a little behind in the derby with Leonard.

Paul George is a superstar, and Kawhi Leonard is a recognized superstar!

The magician simply canceled his plan to go to Italy for vacation, and stayed at home all day to read the news, worrying every day, for fear of getting news about Paul George or Kawhi Leonard signing with another team.

Sometimes the magician also wondered, why did these two people stop fighting for the next contract at the same time?
Paul George almost cut off all his ties with the Lakers, but the magician can be sure that this guy must have been paying attention to the dynamics of the Lakers. Yuan Qingshan's remarks about "the maximum salary is only reserved for Paul George" must be known to him.

But the problem is, knowing it clearly, why doesn't he say anything? He doesn't even give his home team the chance to negotiate terms.

On the other hand, Kawhi Leonard, the news of his discord with the Spurs has further spread. From the existing news, it is not only the head coach Popovich who is at odds with him, even Tony Parker and Ginobili are targeting him.

Combined with the performance of his team's private contact with other teams, the Magic has no doubt that one day Kawhi Leonard will suddenly announce that he will ask the Spurs to trade him.

What a horrible offseason!
The magician ate a small piece of Black Forest Cake, which tasted first bitter and then sweet.

"I hope the offseason can have an ideal ending like this cake."

The magician prayed as he pushed another chunk into his mouth.

Early the next morning, the sixth day of the free market.

The Kawhi Leonard team really spoke out: Kawhi's relationship with the team has been irreparable, and now he is officially requesting the team to trade him.

and.

Kawhi's requirements for the next team are that they must be the top two in the division, must be a playoff team, and must leave enough immediate combat power for the new team when trading...

The magician looked dumbfounded. He took his ipad and repeatedly confirmed: Kawhi Leonard still has a two-year contract. A player who still has a contract, why can he do such a thing?

Forced palace, naked forced palace!

"What's going on now, and players with contracts, can they make demands on the team like this? If they don't make it clear, people think that Kawhi is now a completely free big star."

Magic Johnson kept complaining on the phone that Kawhi Leonard's team's operations had greatly exceeded his worldview.

Laughlin's voice came from the receiver: "The current league is the world of young people. We can't understand their thinking. Let's see how the Spurs will deal with it."

While talking, the magician's phone vibrated, and a new call came in. He held it in front of him and saw that it was Charles Barkley.

No need to ask, Barkley must have just seen the news and called himself to gossip.

The magician ignored him and continued his conversation with Laughlin.

"Erwin, other than being surprised, do you have any other thoughts on this matter?" Laughlin finally got to the point after a long didactic complaint.

The magician stroked his generous chin and said: "To be honest, before today, I would definitely think that this is a good opportunity to compete for Kawhi Leonard, but after seeing his team's performance, I am a little worried. Even if we can include him in the team, are we really sure to conquer this robot?"

Laughlin giggled and said, "Believe me, it's absolutely impossible for this kind of person!"

The magician's hesitant character came up again: "But, this is Kawhi Leonard."

Laughlin has no good solution for the current state. What she hopes most now is to renew Paul George's contract quickly, and then the uniform team can devote all their energy to renewing the contracts of Beverly, Nick Young, Channing Frye, Jeff Green, Kyle Korver and other role players.

If Paul George doesn't renew his contract for a day, the Lakers must keep the maximum salary for him.

However, as time goes by, more and more teams will definitely come into contact with these high-quality, low-cost, and cost-effective role players.

These people have just won the championship and have lost a major pursuit in their careers. Will they really give up more salary for emotional factors and wait forever?

Laughlin felt that she had no idea.

Neither Paul George nor Kawhi Leonard can be signed, and if these substitute players are missing, then the trouble will be big!
