Chapter 533: Mutombo who was cried by his teammates
After the finals, Lin Han has been training with Hardaway in Los Angeles.
Los Angeles is the most famous resort in the United States, and he is now the leader of young players in the NBA.
So, after the Bulls and Hornets traded, the number of people in his and Hardaway's training gym became more and more large.
Kemp, Payton, Webb, Sprewell, Mutombo and a bunch of other young All-Stars came to Los Angeles one after another, and these people gave up vacationing elsewhere and came straight to him.
No way, a lineup like Jordan Pippen and Mourning is a little too scary.
Originally, Lin Han and the Los Angeles Lakers defeated Jordan and the Bulls to win the championship this year, which gave these young players a lot of excitement.
In the current NBA league, there are not many of these young and promising All-Star players who are without ambition.
Even the most unreliable camp called to congratulate him after Lin Han won the championship, and said directly that it would be his and Payton's turn next season.
Lin Han's defeat of Jordan means that for these young players, the new generation has defeated Jordan and their old men.
It means that the authority of the alliance is officially in the hands of the new generation!
Just like Jordan's defeat of the Magician back then, it was equivalent to ending the older generation of Magic Bird Battle.
If the Lakers are strong, Lin Han and his good friends don't have such big ideas.
However, although the Lakers have now defeated the Bulls, the overall strength is not so strong, and the team has huge flaws.
That gave Peyton a lot of ideas.
Lin Han ended the era of Jordan, and now the Lakers team is flawed, so this era does not belong to Lin Han.
So to whom does this era belong?!
Of course it belongs to everyone!
Therefore, Payton and the others are all holding back their strength and preparing to make up for Lin Han next season, and then snatch the NBA championship!
It's good now, Mourning went to the Bulls, and the Jordan era, which was originally ended, seems to have resurrected again?
How can these young league superstars endure it!
Therefore, after these guys came to Lin Han's place, they were all complaining.
The combination of Jordan Pippen and Mourning really has a bit of an invincible flavor.
After this year's bizarre Finals between the Bulls and the Lakers, the world has seen what the weaknesses of the Lakers and Bulls are.
Both teams are missing a strong interior line, and both teams are not perfect.
Only imperfect teams can be defeated.
But now, is there anything the Bulls are not perfect?
After having Mourning, the Bulls want to have an inside line, an outside line, and a bench to have a substitute.
Even whether it is Mourning on the inside, Jordan Pippen on the outside, Harper on the bench, etc., all of them are the kind of players who can both attack and defend.
After the Bulls and Hornets reached a deal, USA Today directly said: "The most perfect team in NBA history, born!" ”
The most perfect team in NBA history, this is very high, very high, but no one thinks there is anything wrong.
Even the Los Angeles Times, after Mourning went to the Bulls, said very sourly: "The Chicago Bulls can be renamed the North Carolina Bulls"
The Charlotte Hornets of North Carolina assisted Jordan of the University of North Carolina to form an invincible North Carolina United team in Chicago.
After the Bulls and Hornets trade was completed, the world's public opinion was that Chicago next season was invincible.
Even Mourning himself was very excited to say that he went to the Bulls for the championship, and salary or anything was not the main factor.
He will re-sign with the Bulls, and has a long-term plan to stay with the Bulls and Jordan Pippen to join forces to create another dynasty.
It doesn't matter what is in order to create another dynasty or what salary, the Bulls must have already initialed a contract extension with Moning, and the amount must have made Morning very satisfied.
The Hornets did not promise Mourning 100 million in 7 years, I am afraid that the bull gave it directly, and maybe more will be returned.
Anyway, Morning's money was saved from Pippen's cheap contract.
"Rat, you're embarrassed to come here!"
At Lin Han's house, Mutombo glared angrily at a ashamed Sprewell, while the others next to him separated the two.
With such a scene as Mutombo and Sprewell, Lin Han and the others were very helpless.
The relationship between Sprewell and Mutombo is good.
Because both of their contracts expire next year, plus Sprewell and Mutombo are both dissatisfied with their teams, the two even agreed to join forces with a certain team after the expiration of their 96-year contracts at the suggestion of Lin Han.
Mutombo has been implementing Lin Han's advice, so when the Nuggets wanted to renew his contract, he kept talking big and did not refuse or object.
This makes it difficult for the Nuggets, who don't want to lose Mutombo, but they can't afford to pay such a big price, 110 million in 10 years!
Mutombo's official age is 29 years old, and if Mutombo is now 19 years old, the Nuggets will offer a 10-year, 110 million contract without saying a word.
But now Mutombo is 29 years old!
Moreover, Mutombo is still African, and if the age of Africans can be believed, sows can climb trees!
Mutombo himself did not know his exact date of birth, had no household registration records and no birth certificate.
With such a 29-year-old player, which team would dare to give him a 10-year contract?
Therefore, the Nuggets only dare to give 3 to 4 years at most.
In the end, Mutombo and the Nuggets kept dragging on like this, and no one let go, didn't they just keep dragging it out.
In fact, Mutombo didn't really want a 10-year contract, and in his situation, he also knew that it was unrealistic, and he mainly wanted to drag it out.
It can be said that in order to team up with Sprewell next year, Mutombo is really working hard.
Mutombo's side is dragging hard for the sake of commitment, and what about Sprewell?
This little brother was indeed the same as Mutombo at the beginning, and he was also ready to drag the warriors.
So following Mutombo's offer to the Nuggets, he directly shouted a 9-year, 94 million contract to the Warriors.
Sprewell is also a sincere person, Mutombo 10 years 110 million, he reduced the contract by one year in order not to let others see that he and Mutombo colluded.
110 million minus 16 million in the tenth year is just 94 million, and 94 million in 9 years.
Now Jordan has a contract of less than 4 million a year, Payton has a contract of less than 3 million a year, and even Reggie Miller has a contract of just over 3 million now.
Sprewell is now the league's most vocal future No. 1 small forward and one of the most promising supernovas.
But this 9-year 94 million contract is a fool's dream no matter how you look at it.
Even Sprewell himself didn't think the Warriors would accept it.
However, who made Sprewell too honest, after he proposed this contract extension that he thought was impossible to agree to, just one day later, the Warriors directly agreed.
Directly agreed!
The Warriors did not discuss whether to agree or not to agree on this day, but compared the contract extension proposed by Sprewell with Mutombo's contract extension.
Contract extensions are a secret for every team, and the Nuggets naturally won't show it to the Warriors for comparison.
But the Warriors were very direct, and directly threw Sprevelti's contract to the Nuggets, and the general manager of the Nuggets looked at it with a green face.
94 million for 9 years, 110 million for 10 years, the two contracts are almost identical except for the salary of 16 million in the tenth year, and one does not.
Mutombo and Sprewell are not an agent, and the two of them are running together at the same time, as long as they are not idiots, even if they can't be sure, just guessing, they can guess what the reason is.
Sprewell and Mutombo are adulterating in private!
And both are planning to leave the team!
After the comparison was completed, the Warriors accepted Sprewell's contract without saying a word.
Sprewell is not the same as Mutombo, Sprewell, is not yet 25 years old this year!
Warriors can bet!
Moreover, Sprewell and Mutombo are also different in that Sprewell has a team option after his contract expires next year, not completely free.
And Mutombo, next year is a completely free agent!
Unless Sprewell can find a higher contract than 94 million over 9 years next year, he will definitely not be able to leave the Warriors as long as the Warriors are unwilling!
In the end, there was no way, and Sprewell agreed to a contract extension with the Warriors.
Sprewell and the Warriors renewed their contract, in Mutombo's view, not only violated the promise and tacit understanding between the two, but also sold him directly!
Originally, he only had to drag the Nuggets for a year, and next year he could leave freely and choose his favorite team, but now it's good, how could the Nuggets allow him to leave freely!
Although he is not satisfied that the Nuggets have never wanted to give him a long contract, Mutombo does not hate staying at the Nuggets, and the fans like him very much.
It's good now, Sprewell's play made the Nuggets tear their faces directly with him.
And Nuggets management also made his affair with Sprewell public.
Now Mutombo is no longer a hero in the Nuggets, but has been burned by some extreme fans!
Originally, even if Mutombo left freely next year, for more salary, the fans would not say anything about him.
But now, you're still a Nuggets player, and you're planning to defect, no matter how many reasons you have!
Therefore, for Mutombo, whether it is Lin Han or others, they are quite sympathetic.
And what about Sprewell?
Well, you can't say anything about this mallet.
He's just a mallet, and no matter how much he says, it's also a mallet!
A mallet that cried his teammates!
Fortunately, Mutombo and Sprewell came to Lin Han separately, if the two came together, Lin Han couldn't persuade them if they wanted to.
"Deacon Bay, are you really ready to come to the Lakers now?"
After everyone persuaded Mutombo to stop, Lin Han directly dragged Mutombo out of the house and went to the lawn outside.
Because he knew about Mutombo's agreement with Sprewell, he never thought that he could poach Mutombo.
Therefore, he was really surprised to hear that Jerry West and Mutombo had reached an agreement in private.
"Lin, do I still have a choice now?"
Mutombo's face was full of bitterness.
was cheated by his friends and spurned by fans, he really didn't have a choice now.
It should be said that his only thought now is to leave the Nuggets as soon as possible and try to go to a place that is not bad.
The Los Angeles Lakers or the New York Knicks are naturally the first choice, big places.
Compared to New York, Ewing is impossible to want, and the Lakers are the best.
Stay in such a big place for a year, and next year see if you can renew a big contract with the Lakers, and if you can't renew, you can go somewhere else.
But with the Nuggets' hatred for him now, the Nuggets can't meet his demands, especially not to let him go to the team he likes.
If it weren't for the fear of bad impact, the Nuggets would probably have thought about freezing Mutombo directly for a year.
Therefore, although he reached an agreement with Mutombo privately, Jerry West also knew that he would directly apply for a trade like this, and the Nuggets would not agree to Mutombo's happy life.
To a reigning champion like the Lakers? Think beautifully!
When it really doesn't work out in the end, the Nuggets will only have two considerations for trading Mutombo.
First, Mutombo can't go to a good place
Second, the bigger the stakes in trading Mutombo, the better.
And the Lakers, the place is good, the bargaining chip of the trade Van Exel is relatively average, and the Nuggets will send Mutombo to the Lakers if they are stupid.
Therefore, although he reached a private agreement with Jerry West, Mutombo actually feels that he is not very likely to come to the Lakers next season.
Even if Jerry West told him that he was trying to figure it out.
"Deacon Bay, you don't have to think about other things, you just have to tell me, are you really willing to come to the Lakers to assist me?"
"Lin, what do you mean?"
"Deacon Bay, as long as you are willing to come to the Lakers to assist me, I can get you to the Lakers"
Mutombo looked at Lin Han in surprise, and Lin Han's expression was very serious now.
"If it was last season, I would definitely not be willing to be a supporting role next to Lin, but now, if Lin can get me to the Lakers, I am willing to follow you"
"That's fine"
After Mutombo nodded, Lin Han smiled and patted the big black man on the shoulder: "Let's go, let's go in and find Lat."
"Looking for Rat? That bastard! ”
As soon as he heard Sprewell's name, Mutombo gritted his teeth.
"I know Deacon Bay is very unhappy with Rattle, but Deacon Bey wants to come to the Lakers, so he needs Lart's cooperation"
"I need his cooperation when I come to the Lakers?"
"Of course, don't worry, just leave it to me, the Lakers' No. 55 jersey will definitely be yours next season"
Now the league news is flooded with Bulls and Mourning, and the news of Mutombo and Nuggets is just embellished.
But soon, Mutombo's interview with a local media outlet in Golden State and Sprewell finally detonated the entire league once again.
"I'm good friends with Rattle, I want to play with Rattle on one team, and if the Nuggets trade me to another team, I'm not going to commit to a contract extension"
