After officially breaking with Bulls owner Ryan Dorf, Jordan, who was left with only option C, was completely overheaded.

Although the development of different historical lines will cause different results, similar to Su Feng's previous life, Jordan, who wants to choose to continue in this life, is currently facing a problem that he can't avoid......

That is, according to the current collective bargaining agreement, on the premise of not renewing the contract with the Bulls, there are actually few companies on the market that can sign Jordan and satisfy Jordan.

Jordan's troubles stem from the NBA's introduction of a salary cap system in this collective bargaining process.

Under the cap salary system, the cap salary that Jordan can get in the new season is related to the number of years he has played in the NBA and the salary cap next season.

In other words, a salary like 30 million a year that year, Jordan will never be able to get it next season.

Moreover, according to the rules, Jordan, who does not renew his contract with the parent team, will not only not get the theoretical maximum salary, but in addition, he will lose his bird rights.

And this also means that unless the team has ample salary space, those teams that want Jordan will not even be able to sign Jordan.

As for opting for a pay cut?

In Jordan's opinion, that was absolutely impossible.

Because unlike the future comeback in the Wizards to seek a stake in the Wizards, the current Jordan has not degraded to the extent of the Wizards Joe, and secondly, whether he renews his contract with the Bulls or not, he is recognized as the first person in the league.

Therefore, the first person in the league chose to take a salary cut, in Jordan's opinion, even if he got him crazy, he couldn't do it.

So, after noticing Su Feng's joke......

Don't say it, Jordan really thinks the Raptors are a good place to go.

First of all, Jordan, who is unwilling to take a salary cut, can theoretically be signed by the Raptors.

Because......

Say it and you may not believe it.

After the shutdown was lifted and the team's uniform team began to resume work, Raptors general manager Gruward is now most worried:

This pile of rookie contracts for the Raptors......

It doesn't meet the new rules of the NBA!

Under the new rules introduced by the NBA, not only will you be fined if you exceed the luxury line, but you will also be fined if your team's total salary does not reach 80% of the salary cap.

And obviously, the Raptors are now more than 108,000 miles away from this standard?

Gruward felt like a cup.

Because other general managers are trying to save money, but he is saving too much money, and now he has to find a way to spend money.

And, don't look at this Raptors through the eyes of time.

Because whether it's Maddie, Carter, or Nash, they are all "weak chickens" who haven't redeemed their talents yet.

To put it bluntly, the only card of this Raptors is Su Feng.

And this is exactly where Jordan thinks the Raptors have a head.

After all, if the Raptors don't have anyone or anyone, then Jordan, who doesn't want to huddle but wants to win a championship, won't think about them.

At the Chicago Heroes Conference, Jordan, who felt Su Feng's terrifying speed of progress, if he didn't recognize Su Feng's strength, then he didn't even have to worry about it now.

In Jordan's opinion, although Su Feng is a thorn in his heart, if he can really cooperate with Su Feng, it will be a wise choice for him, who has not returned Shuangshang to God and is still an "old rascal".

Because in the later stages of his career, the more he knew that basketball was played by five people, the more Jordan was hungry for helpers like Su Feng and Pippen.

So, don't look at what Su Feng said in an interview as a joke, but Jordan really seriously considered the Raptors' choice.

Well, you see, as a new team, going to the Raptors by yourself will not only not be perceived as a huddle and for money like going to the Knicks and Trail Blazers.

On the contrary, people will think that they are simply choosing to continue for the sake of basketball dreams.

And the Raptors with Su Feng, as long as they have their own joining, although they will not be able to become a championship team in a short period of time, as long as they can launch a big network and recruit two helpers, then this Raptors is still very promising in Jordan's opinion.

You know, he feels that he can still fight, but he wants to win another championship, so he told Reinsdorf:

Today you ignore my love, tomorrow I will make you unattainable.

It's a pity......

After thinking seriously about where the Raptors went, Jordan finally gave up.

Because......

In the case that the Raptors could not become a championship team in a short period of time, Su Feng's contract that was about to expire next season completely extinguished the idea of Jordan who wanted to retire with another championship.

Under Falke's analysis, Jordan knew that it was impossible for the Raptors to give him a contract that was too long.

Because they must leave enough salary space to ensure that they renew the contract of Su Feng, who is only 20 years old, after next season.

After all, Jordan doesn't care anymore, but his 36-year-old ......

Even if the IQ of the Raptors uniform team is outrageously low, it is impossible to make the decision to choose Jordan and give up Su Feng.

Therefore, he couldn't win the championship in the short term, and the Raptors owner was still poor, so although he was very hungry for Su Feng, Jordan finally chose to give up the option of the Raptors.

"Alas, it's a pity, if the Raptors team can have some more courage, as long as I give me three years, then I will definitely be able to win another championship."

On this day, Jordan said silently sadly.

……

And just when Jordan was saddened......

On January 20, with the NBA's collective bargaining agreement finalized, Stern officially announced that the 98/99 season would restart on February 5.

At the same time, the NBA's free agent market will reopen.

On the 20th, in accordance with the provisions of the new collective bargaining agreement, the Raptors and Carter officially signed a contract.

Starting in the '98/'99 season, the rookies' contracts will change from three-year to four-year.

In the future, the salaries of the rookies will also be based on the salary cap and their draft picks.

From a team building perspective, a four-year rookie contract will be more conducive to the operation and construction of small and medium-sized teams.

But from the player's point of view, the rookies in the future will not have as much room for operation as Su Feng and other three-year players.

In the new season, Carter, who will wear the No. 15 jersey for the Raptors, was full of expectations for the Raptors at the signing ceremony.

This past summer, Carter, who has been practicing hard with Su Feng, felt that people were underestimating this Raptors after listening to what Su Feng saw and heard at the Chicago Heroes Conference.

It's just that......

No matter how Carter expresses his position, in the eyes of reporters and fans, he and Su Feng are too naïve.

Wake up, Vince, we were at the bottom last season, let's be realistic, you're a rookie!

Alas, I have to say that what Carter said is also the truth, but why does no one want to believe it?

It is worth mentioning that on the 20th, as soon as the free agent market was unsealed, the Raptors announced that they had signed a contract with Big Ben.

5 years and 27.5 million US dollars, judging from the salary standard at this time, the contract offered by the Raptors this time is indeed full of sincerity.

You must know that in Su Feng's previous life, Daben would have to wait until 3 years later to get such a contract.

If Su Feng remembers correctly, in his previous life, Daben didn't enjoy the top salary until after the peak.

But in this life, after this contract with the Raptors is completed, it will become a big free agent in the summer of '03, and he will definitely be able to sign a super contract worth more than 100 million at that time.

After signing with Big Ben, although Raptors general manager Gruward didn't say it on the surface, he still felt a little pain in his heart.

After all, this contract of Big Ben, if you don't look at it with a passing eye, it is a big contract that can only be obtained by first-line insider tools at this time.

However, where could Gruward have imagined that Ben's contract, in two more seasons, will also be reduced to a child labor contract as the NBA's salary cap continues to ballooze.

On the 20th, in addition to signing with Carter, Gruward also officially signed the "old child laborer" Dell Curry with a four-year $8.8 million contract.

This contract is similar to the contract price that Curry signed with the Raptors in Su Feng's previous life, the only difference is that three years have become four years.

Of course, unlike Su Feng's previous life, Curry, who originally chose to come to Toronto for the tuition fees of his two sons, also swelled up at the signing ceremony in this life......

"We're definitely going to make the playoffs under Sue this season, and we have that quality."

One thing to say, the media and fans feel that the Raptors are simply toxic.

Because since Su Feng's bold remarks last year, the players of this team are now swelling one by one.

Wake up, Dale, you're not the Super Sixth Man of the Hornets anymore, you're just a dying veteran now!

Also the playoffs?

Why don't you say the championship?

Well......

Well!

Sure enough, the human imagination is limited.

Because they simply don't know how crazy reality is.

……

Philadelphia, Larry Brown, who was reviewing the 76ers' luxury roster for the new season, was stupid.

Because......

As soon as the new season restarted, he received bad news from Berger.

Ben Wallace ......

The super tool man in his mind......

actually ran to Toronto with Su Feng, do you dare to believe it?

"We made a similar offer to the Raptors, but Ben ended up going with the Raptors." After failing to renew Big Ben's contract, Berlinberg said to Brown with a wry smile.

"What was his reason for choosing the Raptors to abandon us?" Brown asked, embarrassed.

"This ......"

"Don't worry, I just want to know why he chose the Raptors." Looking at Berlinberg, Brown patted him on the shoulder and said.

"Okay, then I'll tell you the truth.

Root......

He said: He still prefers Coach John Davis to you. At Brown's request, Berlinberg told him bluntly.

Bang!

Hearing this, Brown was completely furious.

John Davis!

It's John Davis again!

Although his expression still hasn't changed at all, under Brown's glasses, in those eyes that have not changed in any place, what is the monstrous anger?

In Larry Brown's view, even if the 76ers can't win the championship next season, the Raptors and Davis must die!

Wait, even if the Raptors surrender by 20 points this time, he Brown will never replace any main player!

If Davis is not crucified to the pillar of shame, then Larry Brown would rather die!

And not long after Berlinberg told Brown the bad news, Pat Krauss, another 76ers spokesman, looked out the window of his office and the clear sky of Philadelphia, lost in thought......

Perhaps, Berlinberg and Brown are right.

But in Pat Krauss's view, they all ignore the human touch.

Just like Big Ben's choice of the Raptors this time, in Klaus's heart, he always felt that the NBA should not only have contracts, data and money.

……

In Toronto, according to the schedule, the Raptors will hold a media and fan meeting on January 25.

And these days, except for the old Curry and Big Ben, who have already decided to surrender, Gruward can be said to have hit a wall everywhere......

As early as half a year ago, Gruward, who got Davis's reinforcement list, felt that he had no face to meet Davis.

Because in terms of these demands that Davis made of himself, in Gruward's opinion, can they be considered demands?

It's either a free agent or a draft loss, but what do you say you've done?

Originally, Su Feng's list for Gruward was a famous undrafted pick in the 98 draft, Brad Miller......

However, it is a pity that even though Gruward had a good relationship with Miller before, because of the relationship with the United States team in the '98 World Championships, the high-profile Miller never considered the Toronto Raptors after getting the Hornets' contract on the 20th.

As the saying goes, everyone has their own ambitions, and the reason why Big Ben is willing to come to Toronto with Su Feng is because of the relationship he formed with Su Feng in his early years.

And the reason why Old Curry is willing to come to Toronto a year in advance is because of the snack friendship between Su Feng and the two little Curry.

To put it bluntly, putting aside the connections and various factors, if the Raptors have a little card, then Stern will not worry about Su Feng's personal prestige because of the team's record.

Therefore, others play brother basketball in a group, but where did he Su Feng hold a group?

Don't believe it.

Stern now wishes that Su Feng would quickly use his connections to find one or two stars to hold together.

Otherwise, the Raptors are a broken team, and the results are too bad, why do you let Stern praise Su Feng?

However, if Miller was not done, it would not make Gruward feel shameless.

Well...... The reason Gruward felt that he had no face was that he didn't even get Alston up this time.

The trajectory of history has shifted again, because of the weak relationship of the Bucks' guard line, the Bucks gave Alston a base salary contract a year early.

No way......

Alston didn't want to be sent to the frontier, let alone go to Canada to play in the NBA, so he turned down the Raptors.

And Gruward, who thought that his successive failures in recruiting would make Davis sad, actually thought too much about it from the beginning.

Because in fact......

This Raptors really has no shortage of Miller and Alstom.

The reason why Su Feng wrote these two people into the list of reinforcements before was only because these two people were very cost-effective at this time.

But in fact, as far as the Raptors' current group of Iron Mans is concerned, in the case of Ben gaining weight and playing center in the new season, in Su Feng's view, what the Raptors are lacking at the moment is a big forward and a meat shield substitute.

As for Miller and Alston not choosing the Raptors, in Su Feng's opinion, that is reasonable.

Because the earth will not only revolve around the Raptors and Su Feng, and not everyone will have the vision of crossing.

……

On the 21st and 22nd, while practicing with the team, Su Feng also paid attention to Gruward's recruitment of power forwards and meat shield substitutes.

Now, use Davis to control Gruward......

Su Feng has become more and more handy.

However, what is even worse than Su Feng expected is that because this time all teams must settle the relationship between the lineup within two weeks, many teams are simply raising prices in order to grab people when giving contracts.

And this also makes the Raptors, who were not dominant, even less dominant in terms of recruitment.

The Raptors have plenty of salary space, but that doesn't mean the Raptors have to be wronged.

Gruward, who is good at budgeting, is not stupid, he knows that the team will have to renew the contracts of Su Feng, Nash and others next season, so even if there is enough space, he does not dare to make random offers to players.

And just when Gruward's recruitment efforts came to a standstill......

On the 23rd, in his sleep, Su Feng dreamed of the dream he had once again.

Speaking of which, at that time, in that dream, he had dreamed that he was fighting alongside Jordan.

And Jordan also said to himself:

"Now, it's your time, Sue."

It's just that because he didn't see the relationship between Jordan's jerseys at that time, Su Feng always thought that even if his dream came true, he should refer to the All-Star Game.

But this day......

In a daze, Su Feng felt that he had seen Jordan's team uniform clearly.

Then, Su Feng woke up!

I'm going to drop Westbrook!

One thing to say, in Su Feng's opinion, why did he have to be obsessed with leveling first and then winning the championship before?

Judging from the roster structure, this Raptors team is very young, and it is unrealistic to win the championship next season.

But what if the joke and dream I made before became a reality?

At the Chicago Heroes Club, Su Feng, who noticed Jordan's weight, knew very well that the 109-kilogram boss Joe, if he continued to play a point guard, it might not be so fragrant for the current Raptors.

But in his career, he has had a lot of confrontations with Barkley, and Boss Joe, who is already born with divine powers......

What if the new season is to walk with yourself on the front line?

The position is completely blurred, and the opposite side is cried with a set of ultimate swinging lineups.

Big Ben, Jordan, Himself, Carter, Nash, Maddy......

A set of groups, a dream lineup that has never been seen before or since!

As long as Jordan is willing to accept appropriate changes, in Su Feng's view, the Raptors will completely announce that the NBA will enter the finale next season.

Although due to the Raptors' salary structure, Jordan's personality and other details, Su Feng knows that such a lineup of the Raptors can only last for a year at most.

But......

In a year, it's already bloody!

Winning the championship while leveling up, and by the way, blowing up the whole league in this shutdown season.......

Let this group of NBA supermen feel what is called the best ancient and modern, extraordinary talent!

Battlestar, the god of basketball, the phenomenal truth emperor melon, the half-human demigod, the sun king, the demigod's cousin, called the heavenly father......

To be reasonable, that is, the peak of this group of people is inconsistent.

If you can really form such a lineup, and this group of people is still at the peak, then opposite the Raptors, Hong Kong Zhen, even if you pull Mengyi out, Su Feng will not be intimidated.

"Hiss————!"

On this day, after waking up, Su Feng, who had been thinking about it for a while, felt that this matter seemed to be a bit of a problem.

Because although this lineup also has some problems, as long as it is a problem that can be solved, it is not a problem in Su Feng's eyes.

In Su Feng's opinion, the key issue that this lineup wants to form has to be how to convince Jordan next, as well as details such as the big boss and jersey number......

And if he wants to solve these problems, Su Feng knows very well that he must expect that Jordan can form a tacit understanding with himself before returning Shuangshang to God.

All in all......

Do you think this wave is turning enemies into friends?

No......

Jordan, who was "kicked out of the house" by the Bulls with a championship ring, and Su Feng, who was sent to the frontier by the 76ers, where did they turn enemies into friends?

This is called the same hatred!

Is that a huddle team?

Scold......

Right now, this Raptors, where did they come to form a team?

It's called supporting the NBA's new team building efforts, promoting the overall ball market in Canada, and expanding the league's territory.

Well, it can't be mutual fulfillment and deepening the bond with each other, right?

Oh, that's right.

As long as Jordan is willing to come to the Raptors to play for a year, then Su Feng dares to guarantee that Jordan in this life will only be more legendary than his previous life.

As for Su Feng's future?

Wake up, the more legendary Jordan is now, the more legendary he will be when Su Feng surpasses him in the future.

Only the legend can surpass the legend.

And he has the experience of defeating Jordan before, and now he has another experience of fighting side by side with Jordan, even if Su Feng really surpasses Jordan in the future, even if Jordan's double business is returned to God, Jordan will not beep himself more.

Because at that time, Jordan will lower Su Feng, which will be equivalent to pulling himself down.

And this is the so-called mutual fulfillment.

Well, you see, the reality is really not.

Because, dare to write such a routine?

Reality, that's more crooked than necessary.

On the morning of the 23rd.

After taking out the "Jordan's Strategy Rules" recorded in his small notebook, Su Feng deliberately found Davis and decided to tell Davis this bold idea.

After communicating with Su Feng, Davis swallowed his saliva and said, "Are you serious, Su?" ”

Su Feng nodded, "Coach, let's go to Chicago, although I only have a 10% chance of being able to convince Michael, but if Michael is willing to join us......"

Hearing this, Davis hurriedly interrupted Su Feng.

Because like Su Feng, Davis, who is very optimistic about this Raptors, feels that if he thinks about it, he can only think of the word championship......
