Joe Dumas and Pistons general manager and head coach Doug Collins were willing to come out to meet Lin Han's group.

In fact, the meaning of these two people is already obvious.

At the very least, the Pistons are not going to create obstacles for Joe Dumas' departure.

After the Pistons left legendary head coach Chuck Daley, the team entered a rebuilding phase.

The Bad Boys were either traded or retired, and the only one left was Joe Dumas, the youngest of the Bad Boys.

Why wasn't Joe Dumas traded like Rodman?

Of course, Rodman is too easy to stir up trouble, and if such a player is put next to the future boss of the team, it will be a time bomb.

Rodman is not a player who is content to be ordinary and rebuild.

When he came to Detroit, Lin Han asked why Rodman was traded in the first place.

Rodman's answer was that because of Chuck Daley's departure, the Pistons were no longer the same Pistons they were.

Rodman, who has been playing the playoffs every year since entering the league, actually has no playoffs to play in the 92-93 season.

That year, the Pistons were 40-42 and ranked 10th in the East and did not make the playoffs.

Rodman said to Lin Han that he was depressed and wanted to commit suicide at that time!

He was a bloody man, and he didn't allow his pistons to lose their blood.

But Chuck Daley's departure has put an end to the Pistons' bloody basketball, and the team is ready to change the culture.

The reputation of the Pistons over the years is so stinky that even the management of the Pistons themselves can't stand it.

So, the Pistons drafted Alan Houston and Grant Hill next, and the two never played the same basketball that the Pistons used to play.

Joe Dumas, whose role in keeping with the Pistons is to assist the rebuilding core of the future team.

But after Alan Houston grew up, it was time for Joe Dumas' role to change.

Last season, Joe Dumas was used more as a playmaker, in fact, he was already making way for Alan Houston's starting position in disguise.

And next season, the more mature Alan Houston will completely occupy the team's starting point guard position.

And the team's new leader, Grant Hill, will have more control of the ball.

When the time comes, the role of Joe Dumas will become very awkward.

Moreover, next season Alan Houston is a contract year, Joe Dumas has been paid a low salary for so many years, and the Pistons want to compensate him.

However, after compensating him, there will be some problems with Alan Houston's contract extension next season.

This is also the reason why the Pistons are willing to give the green light to Joe Dumars' departure, and Joe Dumas himself knows that it is indeed time for him to leave, but his loyalty and affection for the team make him unable to make up his mind to leave.

As long as Lin Han and the Lakers can convince him, he will leave the Pistons.

"Jerry, I don't lie to you, Joe D is the leader of the Pistons, and his position on the team is a little awkward now, but we are ready to offer him a 4-year 14 million contract, 7 million in the first year, 3 million in the second and third years, and 1 million in the fourth year, and Joe D has also preliminarily agreed to this contract, so Joe D's contract will definitely not be an obstacle to the future of the Pistons"

"Needless to say, Doug also knows that Joe D is a great leader, the Pistons will give him the greatest respect, and the Lakers and I will also give him the greatest respect, I never thought of robbing Joe D while it was hot, and we didn't need Doug and the Pistons to come here to endorse Joe D, we would all give him our highest respect directly, this is a signing contract that I drafted for Joe D when I came to the Lakers, you can take a look"

With Joe Dumas' contribution to the Pistons, the Pistons won't treat Joe Dumas badly, even at the risk of losing Alan Houston next year.

And the contract that Doug Collins said about the Pistons to Joe Dumas is already obvious, 7 million in the first year, this is compensation.

At the age of 32, Joe Dumas is not too old, but he is also a veteran, and it is difficult for him to get such a contract with other teams.

So, Doug Collins is here to endorse Joe Dumas.

Tell Jerry West and the Lakers that don't want to bully our family's legends, no matter how difficult the Pistons are now, they won't let Joe Dumas sell himself cheaply.

I have to say that the relationship between the Pistons and the Bad Boy Army is really deep.

Otherwise, Rodman would not have had the idea of committing suicide for the pistons.

Thinking of this, Lin Han looked at Joe Dumas and Doug Collins who took the documents from Jerry West's hand with some curiosity.

Jerry West prepared a contract for Joe Dumas in advance, and Lin Han didn't know about it.

He always thought that it was best for the players to show their sincerity after they agreed.

Now it seems that Jerry West is still more sophisticated than him.

It seems that Jerry West has already guessed this scene.

Doug Collins was slightly surprised to see the number on the contract.

"Jerry and the Lakers are really sincere, 4 years and 20 million, this is a satisfactory contract"

Doug Collins was satisfied with the contract Jerry West had prepared.

But the look on the face of Jo Dumas beside him has always been very indifferent.

After the legendary Pistons guard glanced at the contract, his face stared at Lin Han and Rodman again without any change.

In fact, after the two sides sat down here, Joe Dumas's eyes never left Rodman and Lin Han.

He was really curious that Rodman was really subdued by Lin Han.

Even when Rodman was on the Pistons, he wasn't as honest as he is now, right?

Now, Joe Dumas, Rodman and Lin Han were staring at each other curiously.

As the general managers of the two teams, Jerry West and Doug Collins did not care about Lin Han's side.

"Jerry, since I see your sincerity, then I won't tell you, Joe D's matter is really a headache now, we don't want Joe D to leave, and Joe D himself doesn't want to leave, but for the current Pistons, Joe D's departure is another good thing, now, Joe D is still very hesitant, he still doesn't have a reason to leave the Pistons, money is not a reason to shake him to leave, as far as Joe D is concerned, the Pistons' 4 years of 14 million and the Lakers' 4 years of 20 million, It makes no difference to him."

"I know Joe D needs money, but it's not like more money is better, he's not like any other player"

After Jerry West finished with a smile, Doug Collins nodded in understanding.

Jo Dumas is not Rodman, he doesn't have so many strange spending, and when the money is enough, more or less it's a number.

"Jord, I have a lot of respect for your feelings for the Pistons, so I never thought of convincing you to leave on such grounds as money, because it's an insult to you"

Jo Dumas calmly withdrew his gaze from Lin Han and Rodman's bodies and looked at Jerry West.

"Jod, don't you think you can go further in your career?"

"My career?"

Joe Dumas looked at Jerry West suspiciously.

Even Rodman and Lin Han were a little puzzled.

Jo Dumas's career is perfect, isn't it?

Championship, All-Star, All-Defensive Team, what else can he pursue in his career?

Regular season MVP?

Even if he leaves the Pistons to go to the Lakers, he can't pursue it?

With Jerry West's prestige in the current league, no matter how outrageous and inconsequential he is, no one will question him, so everyone is just puzzled now.

"Joe D, definitely a future NBA Hall of Famer, not just you, Dennis, you will all be future NBA Hall of Fame players, but soon, the NBA Hall of Fame will no longer be the highest honor in the career of an NBA player"

Is Hall of Fame no longer the highest honor of an NBA player's career?

The faces of the people who were still puzzled had turned into surprise.

"I can tell you very clearly right now that the league is going to announce the news after the start of the new season, at the 1997 All-Star Game, the league will announce a list of the top 50 NBA stars in 50 years at the 50th anniversary of its founding, and I will be the head of this list, and I will be the vice president of the NBA for the new season, and I will be responsible for developing this list."

On the 50th anniversary of the NBA, the league will announce a list of the top 50 superstars?!

After Jerry West finished speaking, the eyes of Lin Han and Joe Dumas, and even Rodman and Doug Collins lit up.

Rodman does qualify as a candidate, a three-time champion and two-time Defensive Player of the Year.

As for Doug Collins, his career was quite successful, but compared to Rodman, he also seemed to know that he was really impossible in this regard, so soon, Doug Collins's face darkened.

"Joe D, the deadline for selection is before the 1997 All-Star, your current honor and prestige in the league are not enough for you to enter the ranks of these fifty superstars, the original Pistons, only Isaiah Thomas qualified to be selected for this list, you are not even as good as Dennis now, Dennis has won his third championship, and you, only two! If you had stayed with the Pistons, the number of championships in your career would have been two before 1997! ”

"It's not just championships, Joe D, since 1993, you've been two years in a row, you haven't won any accolades in the NBA, if you want to be one of these fifty superstars, with me, with Lin, with Jordan, with Isaiah Thomas, with Larry Bird, with Magic, with Chamberlain, with Russell, with Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, you need honors, individual honors, team honors, championships, you need them!"

I have to say that Jerry West is really an excellent lobbyist, he seems to have insight into everyone's hearts.

Even Jo Dumas, who has always been calm and extraordinary, was a little excited by what he said at this time.

The look on Joe Dumas's face was no longer indifferent, if it weren't for Joe Dumas being too dark, he might have seen that flush of excitement and excitement on his face!

By the standards of a Hall of Fame, Joe Dumas really has nothing to pursue in the NBA.

Money? The Pistons won't treat him badly.

Honor? He's already earned enough to earn him a Hall of Fame.

But now that I know that the league will actually make a selection of the top 50 superstars higher than the Hall of Fame.

Even Jo Dumas couldn't have cared.

If he doesn't have a chance, forget it, obviously, he definitely has a chance!

"Joe D, come to the Lakers, build another dynasty with us, and become one of the greatest superstars in NBA history!"

Jerry West's voice seemed to be the voice of the devil that seduced people into depravity.

Even Joe Dumas, who is so loyal to the Pistons, has been shaken.

Feeling the excitement in his heart now, Jo Dumas took a few deep breaths, barely suppressing the incomparably excited emotions in his heart.

"Mr. West, I promise you, I'm joining the Lakers"

Jo Dumas's voice was still calm, but when he said this, the look on his face was completely different from his voice.

Of course, for Lin Han, it doesn't matter what Jo Dumas's mood is right now.

Importantly, he agreed to join the Lakers!

One of the most well-rounded guards in NBA history, he really decided to join the Lakers and join his team!

"Jord, you won't regret your decision today!"

Lin Han stood up with some excitement and stretched out his right hand to Jo Dumas.

Seeing Lin Han like this, Qiao Dumas also stood up and shook Lin Han with a smile.

"Lin, I'm not a person who likes to regret, and I'm not a person who likes to disappoint"

"I'm looking forward to it"

Seeing that at this time, Joe Dumas, who had rekindled the fighting spirit to fight for his career, Lin Han was really satisfied!

"Jerry, is the league really going to announce this list of the top 50 superstars at the 1997 All-Star Game?"

"Of course"

Jerry West, who left the meeting room, stopped, looked at Lin Han with a smile and continued: "Lin, you must be one of the members of this list, but I hope you can win the championship next season, so that you are qualified to compete for the top of the list of fifty people, you have the strongest strength, but you still lack enough honor to win the strongest position!" ”

"The most, strongest status?!"

"I've suggested to David Stern that this list of the top 50 superstars will follow a ranking system, Lin, and I'm looking forward to you being the number one superstar! Also the greatest player in NBA history! ”

"Rank, number one superstar? The greatest player in NBA history?! ”

"This position should belong to you the most, you are better than everyone else!"

I have to say that Jerry West's pass-and-sell talent is really full.

Even a chicken thief like him felt a little lame.

As one of the two most chicken thieves in the NBA right now.

Lin Han can be sure that he and O'Neill have no resistance in front of Jerry West!
