Chapter 301: Meeting

"Mr. Buss, do you think this is fair to Lamar? Lamar's strength is not inferior to Kobe, why is there a gap between the two people's contracts? And Lamar will make a big sacrifice if he stays with the Lakers, shouldn't he be compensated in this regard? And your team still has salary space to renew Lamar? You must know that Chauncey is also in a contract year this year. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½ā€

Falker said very clearly, the Lakers' salary this year has to pay the luxury tax, if they renew Lamar and Chauncey, it is estimated that the salary will definitely exceed the first Knicks by a lot!

After calming himself down a little, Falker continued: "And such an offer does not reflect Lamar's role in the team at all, maybe you are right, this kind of and he is very generous for a young player who has only played in the NBA for two years, but do you think Lamar is comparable to other young players? Last year's best rookie, All-Star Game dunk king, regular season All-Season All-Defensive Team for two consecutive years, is this an achievement that other young players can achieve?"

"Even Michael Jordan and Kobe Bryant didn't seem to be able to achieve what Lamar is doing now! I don't think Lamar should be treated as a player who has only played in the NBA for two years, even if it is to be referenced, it should also be referred to the top star players in the league. ā€

After Falker finished saying this big set of words, he realized that the person sitting in front of him who was sprayed by him was a big man, and he couldn't help but feel a little nervous.

"Even though Lamar is very good now, he is still just a young player, and the most important thing for him now is to improve his strength, and the Lakers can provide him with the best environment to grow, so I think 47 million in five years is a very reasonable offer. ā€

Although Dr. Bass said this, he also felt in his heart that such an offer was indeed a bit low for Lamar, but he couldn't help it, after the end of this season, there are too many players who need to renew their contracts and raise their wages. It's a bit unrealistic to keep all the people, at least the most important players must be retained, like Chauncey, who has expired, must give a contract above the middle class, Tyrone Lue's rookie contract expires, there is no 2 million contract, there is no way to keep the team's main backup guard, if Lamar's contract is too big, the luxury tax will be beyond his ability.

"No! such a contract is an insult to Lamar!" Falker blurted out, now that he doesn't care about anything. ā€

Dr. Bass frowned, and his voice became a little stern: "Mr. Falkel, I think it's better to listen to Lamar's thoughts now!"

"Mr. Falkel can represent my wishes!" Lamar said and stood up: "Mr. Bass, my plane is about to be delayed, I think this matter will be discussed when I come back!"

After saying that, he didn't give Dr. Buzz a chance to say anything more, and walked out directly.

Like he said, everything will wait until he comes back, but I don't know how the NBA landscape will change by then.

When the season is over, the whole Lianming is most concerned about the Lakers' movements next season, because Kobe Bryant has begun to openly force the Lakers to the top management at this time, either to stay and trade Lamar, or to trade himself!

So Lamar's final ownership next season has become the most interesting development this offseason, although there are a few very good big fish in the league this summer, but the most attractive is undoubtedly Lamar!

A lot of teams are already putting it into action, and Jerry West's office has accumulated a thick stack of trade papers. Lamar also has a two-year rookie contract with a team option, which is definitely a model of quality and affordability!

In an environment like the NBA, where there are no secrets at all, any details of Lamar's rookie contract have been studied countless times, and almost all teams are repeatedly deducing how much chance their team has of netting Lamar into their own accounts.

Maybe some people are laughing at the Lakers, a high-quality player like Lamar can give up! You must know that their uniform team signed a 3-plus-1 contract with Lamar at the beginning, and the next 1 year is still a team option, which means that Lamar is still in the rookie contract period, even if Lamar is traded, it is impossible to get any equivalent players, because which player with such strength as Lamar does not have an annual salary of tens of millions?

After the season ended, the Lakers still didn't report that Kobe Bryant had reconciled with Lamar, and teams across the league began to make their moves.

Although the MVP of the finals was finally awarded to Shaq, anyone can see that in the seven decisive games, Lamar's performance and Shaq are on par, except for Shaq's more gorgeous data, there is no aspect that can overwhelm Lamar, but Lamar relies on his overall advantage to provide greater help to the team.

Who wouldn't want such a player, how attractive a super-potential performer is who is not yet twenty-two years old and has not yet reached the prime of his athletic career, and it seems that the Lakers have little hope of keeping him.

The reason why I say this is because of that sentence, there is no secret hidden in the NBA league at all. Just as managers on other teams can easily know the details of Lamar's rookie contracts, the contract details of the rest of the Lakers' players are in their hands.

If you want to maintain a stable roster, when the new season begins, the Lakers' owner Jerry Buss will have to bear a huge financial pressure, and the managers of every NBA team know very well

Not only is Shaq's sky-high contract, but also Kobe Bryant and Ramon Murray's 10 million-level big contracts, if the Lakers want to keep their main players, at least the main point guard Chancey Billups, and the future main interior Chris Anderson's new contracts will be a lot more generous on the original basis.

In addition, the contracts of the original main substitutes Ron Haber and Brian Shaw have also expired, and the contract of the current main interior veteran Grant is also about to expire. At that time, there is no past contract to say, and these three old and strong generals will definitely not leave their own prices.

In such an environment, unless the elder Bastang no longer cares about the luxury tax issue, he will not be able to give Lamar too many offers.

If he gives up other players in order to keep Lamar, not to mention that Lamar is unwilling to stay in an uncompetitive team, I'm afraid that even Shaq, the soul of the team, will revolt. It is based on this situation that the teams that are interested in Lamar have launched an unabashed Lamar chase. Whoever emerges victorious will depend on who can show enough sincerity to impress Lamar.

This period of time has been the busiest since Falkel worked as a broker. Lamar had already delegated to him with the task of contacting other teams. Every day he has to answer countless phone calls and meet with representatives of many teams.

At the same time, he can't help but be a little dissatisfied with Lamar, the reason is simple, although Lamar entrusted him with the task of contacting other teams, but at the moment even he doesn't know where Lamar is going on vacation.

The phone could not be reached, and the emails that had been out for a long time had not been heard back at all, but what he needed most now was to communicate with Lamar and then select the most suitable team from among the many teams he was chasing, so that he could negotiate with those selected teams so that he could fight for the best interests.

"Damn Lamar. Where the hell are you hiding? You should have a locator in this guy's stomach. ā€

The phone rang again!Fawker answered the phone as he cursed Lamar, who had made him unconscious.

"Hello! I'm Fakkel!"

You don't have to guess which team must be calling for an interview, and Falker has to answer at least a few calls a day.

After a few words of nonsense, he hung up the phone, this time the other party was obviously not in his consideration, Minnesota Timberwolves! Do you want Lamar to go to a small city like Minnesota in the middle of nowhere to be the little brother of the wolf king Garnett? What are you kidding!

Although the other party kept saying that the combination of the wolf king Galamar would rule the entire league, this was what Falker cared about the most, in his opinion, as long as it could be transferred to money, the O'Brien Cup was a child's thing. He knew a former NBA superstar who created the Green Shirts dynasty with Bill Russell, and although he didn't become the Lord of the Rings, six championship rings would have allowed him to leave his name in Akira's history. is such a former superstar, but in the end, because of poverty, he can only make a living by cleaning other people's cars at gas stations.

If the honor really worked, how could that person end up so miserable. That's why Falker always believed that only money was the most important thing!

So when it comes to choosing a team for Lamar, his favourites are the ones that can be promised to give Lamar a place as the boss. As long as he sits on the throne of the boss, Lamar can officially enter the ranks of superstars, and once he becomes famous, there will naturally be no shortage of money.

Now it is the teams that are most enthusiastic about chasing Lamar, and they are also the most likely to get Lamar.

The New Orleans Hornets, a true youth army, although they have not performed well in recent seasons, but as a new team that can beat super teams such as the Philadelphia 76ers and Detroit Pistons in the regular season, they already have the strength to challenge the league's powerhouses.
