Chapter 672 The Most Lively Offseason
The 2013-2014 season, for Xiong, is the most perfect season of his entire NBA career so far. He has almost included all the honors he can get as a No. 2 player (except DPOY): 3 MVPs (AMVP .Even if he retires immediately, with the honors he has accumulated before, it is enough for him to get his own place in the long history of the league, and entering the Hall of Fame is almost a certainty.

But for Xiong, he knows he can do more and become a higher-ranked player in league history.For this reason, he will not easily be satisfied with the current achievements.Only by constantly moving forward and improving can it be possible to become a better player.

In the summer of 2014, Ying Xiong will definitely choose to jump out of the contract.Regarding whether he will stay with the team or leave, since the offseason of last season, many media colleagues have been predicting and discussing.Today, this topic will naturally become one of the best blockbusters this summer.

The 2014 free agent market has not yet opened, but according to many mainstream media predictions, this year's offseason may be the busiest in the past ten years.

The reason is simple, because Ying Xiong and James are very likely to become completely free agents and enter the free agent market!
——These will definitely be the biggest two fish in the free agent market. Their choices will affect the operations of many teams in the league this summer. The NBA is like this. There is no so-called equality here. A superstar often makes a choice that will affect the fate of many people.

——This is the reality, you don’t have enough strength and status, and sometimes you don’t have the opportunity to choose.

As soon as the championship celebration was over, Toronto Raptors general manager Masai Ujiri led the team's management team to discuss Ying Xiong's contract renewal with Ying Xiong's agent Bill Duffy.In fact, regarding Ying Xiong's contract renewal, at the end of last season, they had already proposed to Bill Duffy that they wanted to renew the contract in advance, or they would get Ying Xiong's contract renewal promise.

But at that time, the request of Ujiri's team was rejected by Bill Duffy, and Bill Duffy's meaning was naturally Ying Xiong's own meaning.For Xiong, he doesn't want to be tied to death in advance, he wants to try more possibilities, even if he will choose to stay in the end.

For Ujiri's team, this summer's task will not be easy.First of all, and also the biggest task, is naturally to renew the current No.1 in the league and the core of the team-Ying Xiong.

Even if it is not yet time for players with player options to jump out of the contract, the Ujiri team believes that Ying Xiong has 100 reasons to jump out of the contract.It can be said that Ying Xiong jumped out of the contract this summer and became a completely free agent. The possibility is almost 100%.

But even if Ying Xiong wants to show off himself and find a unique way to choose the 0.0001% to implement the fourth-year contract, Ujiri's team will also discuss with him about contract renewal.

In the NBA, the value of a superstar is incalculable.Look at James leaving the Cavaliers. The Cavaliers with more than 60 wins instantly became the league's belly. Let alone winning the championship, they couldn't even make the playoffs.

In the 2010-2011 season before Ying Xiong joined the Raptors, they were the second-worst in the Eastern Conference.Since Yingxiong joined, the team successfully entered the playoffs in 2-2011, and also got the third place in the Eastern Conference at the end of the season.In the playoffs of that season, they also reached the second round of the Eastern Conference. After 2012 games, they unfortunately lost to the Miami Heat, the winner of the championship that year and the top three.In the subsequent 3-2 season and the just-concluded 6-2012 season, the team became the first in the league in the regular season for two consecutive years and won the NBA championship for two consecutive years.

The results achieved by the Raptors can be said to be due to the fact that the team has recruited properly, there are not too many bad assets in the team, and the head coach Devin Casey has managed the army well.But the most important thing is that they got Ying Xiong, the super potential stock at that time, and now No.1 in the league.

Therefore, if the Raptors want to continue to win the championship, or continue to maintain their competitiveness in winning the championship, then renewing the contract with Yingxiong is something they must do.After all, if you want to find a replacement for him, don't say you don't have one, even if you can find it, it is impossible to match the team's system and be willing to come to a small market team like the Raptors.

Three consecutive championships and the establishment of a dynasty are very attractive to players, and why not to the team.The Raptors finally ushered in a real man who helped the team continuously create records in team history and won the first championship in team history. Now, an opportunity to build a dynasty is in front of them. As long as they are not fools, Nature knows how to choose.

In the long history of the NBA, there are very few teams that have won three consecutive championships and established a dynasty.Even the symbol of the small ball market, the Spurs, has never really established its own dynasty.Therefore, it can be seen how difficult and precious it is to establish a dynasty.

Ying Xiong is not yet 26 years old and has just entered his peak period. Even if his peak length is not as good as the great Michael Jordan, but with his physical fitness, there is still no major problem in reaching the age of 35.As for the peak, as long as there is no serious injury before the age of 30, it should be maintainable.

Ying Xiong handed over a series of issues such as his contract signing negotiation to Bill Duffy's team.Of course, he must be the one who makes the final decision, but some tedious matters, such as negotiations, are left to a brokerage team that is much more professional than himself.

Because of the excellent record of the Raptors, the draft picks in their hands are too low, so they can only see if they can find the leftover pearls.For the Ujiri team, this offseason, renewing the contracts of the players in the team is the top priority.

According to relevant media announcements, this summer is very likely to become a free agent (in no particular order): Ying Xiong, LeBron James, Jeremy Lin, Kyle Lowry, Patrick Patterson, Carmelo Anthony, Dwyane Wade, Chris Bosh, Tim Duncan, Paul Pierce, Chandler Parsons, Dirk Nowitzki, Pau Gasol, Rudy Gay, Eric Bledsoe, Trevor Ariza, Shane Battier, Ray Allen, Andrea Bargnani, Avery Bradley, Vince Carter, Boris Diaw, Channing Frye, Gordon Hayward, Richard De Jefferson, Amar Stoudemire, Isiah Thomas, Nick Young, Marvin Williams...
