Starting with 2006

Chapter 469 Thoughtful Pat Riley
"So that's why he's just telling you that he thinks Bobcats are a place for softies?"

Gao Tian heard that Rod Higgins nodded angrily and ashamedly in front of him. He was also a little confused and angry, although he knew Artesto was a bastard a long time ago, and he was not afraid of anything and dared not do anything. But now he really realized why everyone loves and hates this guy. This guy is really not afraid of offending people.

Because he felt that there were too many young people in Shanmao, he was full of resistance here, or because Gao Tian didn't call him, he felt that Shanmao was belittling him and said such bastard words?

But no matter what, Gao Tian remembered this bastard. Artesto can disrespect Rod Higgins and Gao Tian, ​​but he absolutely cannot disrespect the Bobcats as a whole. This is an insult to all of them. Gao Tian God will not forgive this unscrupulous guy!

"So where does he end up?"

"According to the news I got, he should go to a championship team, but it is hard to say whether it is the Lakers or the Celtics. Both sides have offered him a price that Artest cannot refuse. It is said that the Rockets finally Because Artest's contract was too big, they finally withdrew from the competition first. In my opinion, Artest should go to the Celtics. After all, the Celtics have higher salary space, and their hope of winning this season And bigger."

"is it?"

After listening to Rod Higgins' speculation, Gao Tian didn't say anything. He himself was more inclined that Artest would join the Lakers. Although it seems that the Celtics have always had the advantage, Gao Tian just thinks that the Lakers can successfully reinforce. They need this player most, because Kobe has this kind of personal charm that can subdue Artesto.

Only he can convince Artest, a villain in the league, so Gao Tian feels that the Lakers will be even stronger in the new season, because they have upgraded the lineup, and Artest perfectly meets the requirements of the Lakers.

The competition in the league next season will be more intense, but this is also a very interesting thing, isn't it?

"He won't come? It's a little troublesome now!"

Pat Riley really didn't think that his original plan would be disrupted. In fact, he did have some ideas about Artesto at the beginning, but when he heard the news from Artesto's agent that Artesto only After considering a championship team, Pat Riley voluntarily gave up, because now the Heat are obviously not a championship team, and it is completely unnecessary to waste time trying to persuade Artesto. Artesto is not in his future plans.

All he cares about now is that the most important part of his future planning jigsaw has been shaken again at this time. It is really difficult for him to understand why LeBron hesitated again at this time. Pat Riley, who is mature and sophisticated It can be guessed that LeBron now does not want to stay in the Cavaliers who have no hope at all.

But even he has difficulty guessing people's hearts, especially LeBron who puts all his thoughts in the deepest part of his heart. Now his biggest headache is LeBron, but he can't wait anymore. Quietly waiting for LeBron to make his decision, then when he got some news about the Bobcats, he made up his mind even more.

Now he must start to take action. Although his plan will not be officially launched until next year, but this year she must make some actions to prepare for the next season and the next season!

Now the Heat have a lot of junk contracts and bad assets, what he has to do now is to slowly get rid of these bad assets, and then find some players with trade value, and the most important thing he holds now His trading chip is undoubtedly the No. [-] pick just selected this year, the talented boy Beasley!

This is also the most bargaining chip he can get to attract the Bobcats, and this is also his confidence in attracting the Bobcats in the offseason next year. There is no doubt that the Bobcats will definitely be interested in Beasley, and he is now waiting , Waiting for that day to come, Pat Riley is very understanding, next year at the latest, Sun Yue will definitely leave the Bobcats!

He has no reason to continue to stay in the Bobcats!

And this is the opportunity that Pat Riley is waiting for. At that time, the Heat's road to the championship will really start, and he is confident that he will find a helper for Sun Yue and Wade when Sun Yue arrives. A helper for star-level insiders!
In this way, in his opinion, the Heat's starting lineup is already perfect, or almost perfect. What he has been longing for is the Cleveland boy, but he is too tangled, no one can guess his thoughts, he is too Hesitation, too much care about what other people think!

Pat Riley is not a hesitant person. He knows that the most important thing is to determine the future starting lineup of the Heat. But to be honest, he is really entangled. There is no doubt that his favorite player is Sun Yue. But he knows that what the Heat lack the most should be LeBron. Sun Yue is not a player who can control the overall situation and solve the game at any time like LeBron.

He believes that the most dominant position on the court should be the small forward. In his vision, the future of basketball should be a team of five players like LeBron. That is the ultimate lineup of basketball. An invincible lineup.

Of course, he knows that it is still too early to say these things. After all, even Sun Yue, who may be able to come to the Heat at the earliest, still needs at least a year, let alone LeBron.

Pat Riley sighed helplessly. He rarely had such annoyed moments. As one of the biggest behind-the-scenes players in the NBA, he has always been a high-ranking and ruthless tyrant, but now, he is really annoyed, because It is hard to say that LeBron and Sun Yue came to the Heat at the same time, not to mention the issue of bargaining chips, even the salary is a problem that he cannot solve at all.

Wade's contract has just begun to be implemented, with an annual salary of more than 800 million. Although Sun Yue still has a three-year rookie contract, even if he comes to the Heat next year, he will only have two years at most. LeBron's contract It is the league's maximum salary contract, plus an all-star insider contract, there is no doubt that this superstar lineup can only last for two years at most.

The most troublesome time will be when Sun Yue's rookie contract expires. Sun Yue's contract must be a big contract even surpassing Wade's big contract. This will have a huge impact on the Heat's salary. The current space can barely accommodate another big contract, which is already the limit, because they still need salary space to sign other players.

So, what is the future of the Heat?
