I'm here, I'm running the NBA right now

The birth of the 412 super invincible battleship, the four giants of the Heat

Ray Allen received a text message from Heat general manager Riley on a plane flying to California.

At first, Ray Allen thought this was nonsense.

He has a player option this year.

His original intention was to play with the Green Army for a year and give it a try. If he really couldn't win the championship, he would find another way.

In fact, according to expectations, the Green Army will renew Ray Allen's contract in advance this summer.

But because the contract with Rondo has not been negotiated, the contract extension with Ray Allen has not been advanced yet.

It's been on hold.

Ray Allen also thinks this is nothing, they are all good friends and brothers anyway, so don’t worry about it for a while!

However, Ray Allen has some freshman clearance.

As a third grader, I am also an all-star after all!

Angie's lack of interest in Ray Allen also gave Riley an opportunity to take advantage of him.

Riley, the fortune teller, saw this and gave Ray Allen this message.

But Ray Allen still didn't take it seriously.

Riley comes again: Regarding the future of you and the Heat, actually, we can talk about it in detail. Anyway, your goal is to win the championship, the same in Boston and the same in Miami!

……

At first, Ray Allen thought this was nonsense, but as Riley continued to attack via text messages, he felt that maybe it was true.

Riley, the fortune teller, is a master at winning over people's hearts.

Ray Allen was a little moved.

Ray Allen began to think about the possibility of playing with the Heat.

Now that the Heat have signed the Big Three, their salary space has been saturated, which determines that they cannot sign another All-Star. This is an inevitable event.

Of course, if the boss is willing to pay a huge luxury tax, that's another matter.

However, Ray Allen knows very well that the boss's money does not come from strong winds.

Is he willing to pay an extra 2 million in taxes every year?

To put it bluntly, there are less than 2 teams in the NBA that can earn more than 10 million a year. Some teams in small markets are even losing money in operation.

Is the boss willing to do so?

Ray Allen doesn't think the Heat owner is willing to spend the money.

Riley came to him, definitely wanting to kill him and ask him to voluntarily cut his salary to form a Big Four team.

The boss's money does not come from strong winds.

Of course, neither is Ray Allen's money.

Ray Allen wanted to form a Big Four team. However, in his prime, he could cut his salary to form a Big Four team. However, if the reduction was too much, he would naturally not do it!

Ray Allen: What do I need to pay?

Riley: All you have to do is come to Miami and we have the check ready.

Ray Allen was moved, but he knew it wasn't that good.

Ray Allen: I am only willing to accept a salary cut of less than 15% to join the Heat!

Riley: Deal!

……

Ray Allen thought Riley was joking.

Even if Ray Allen himself is willing to cut his salary by 15%, if the Heat want to build a lineup around the Big Four, they will have to pay at least 1.5-1.8 million in luxury tax every year.

Ray Allen is still hesitant now.

However, a phone call from James changed Ray Allen's decision, "Come to Miami! I need your brother! I want to win the championship, and I can't wait a moment."

James's phone call was full of sincerity, and later on, James specifically mentioned the issue of compatibility with his lineup.

The two hit it off.

Therefore, in the early morning of July 7th, the door to the free market opened.

Ray Allen announced that he would jump into the free market, which directly caused shock.

After this, Wade also announced that he would jump out of the free market to test the waters.
