Chapter 951: Join, I'll let you have a ring on one hand
The Los Angeles Lakers and the Chicago Bulls completed the deal, the Lakers signed for 1 year and 15 million and then traded for Gasol, and the Bulls sent Jimmy. Butler + Kirk. Hinrich + 2 million cash. The Bulls get Gasol, plus a 10.1 million trade exception. All of a sudden, the Lakers' salary structure was shrunk again.
It's a win-win for both of them, and they think the Bulls have a slight advantage.
Because Butler is still a rookie, he has not played any good statistics, and his career honors are almost zero, and Hinrich has long since aged, but Gasol played well last season, mainly in the Finals. Coupled with the Bulls' uh interior line and Arnold, it is equivalent to suddenly becoming the strongest interior combination in the East, plus Rose returned from injury, this team cannot be underestimated in combat. However, Tang Qian knew that this was funny, at least next season, in his impression, Derek. Ross is still a "glass man", injuries and injuries are stopped, and repeatedly, although I don't know what the future will be, but Tang Qian is really not too optimistic about Ross's "full blood resurrection". Why? The main thing is his style of play, after the injury, it is very limited, and if he wants to recover, it increases the risk of continuing to be injured, so ...... It's better not to.
Besides, Rose's 3-pointer is terrible, and this kind of player doesn't feel like a good fit for him in terms of style.
The main attacker on the outside, Tang Qian hopes that he will be a person with 3-point shooting ability in the future, so that his interior containment will be maximized. Butler's three-point shot is also very ordinary, not very consistent, sometimes good and sometimes bad, but it is still much better than Rose. Moreover, what Tang Qian values most is his defensive ability, and he was selected for the league's second defense last year, and this year, Yuan Spacetime was also selected for the best defensive team in his impression. Therefore, the defensive ability is the top in the league on the outside, and if you cultivate it well, it is not that you can't become a big lock on the outside.
He's fed up with the Lakers' defensive mess last season, and this season, it's bound to improve.
Jimmy. Butler, that is, the best candidate.
It's a good deal, and management hasn't worked in vain in the offseason, hoping to recruit the rest of their own referrals.
That way, next season, the Lakers still have a chance to make a big difference.
After tasting the taste of reality, Tang Qian didn't feel enough like ordinary people, but it made him more surging and "greedy" for this desire. Greed for champions, greed for victory.
After returning to the United States, Tang Qian spent the rest of his time training except for a series of signing business activities, and a player like him who has not been to a nightclub or a vacation in the offseason is simply a rare player in the league. Taylor complained that he was about to beat Kobe.
As for the "offseason invitation" of the rest of the ladies, Tang Qian chose to politely decline, after all, he is now a "famous grass master", and it is not suitable to "mess with the grass and flowers". However, in Sestin's words, they are not married? It's just falling in love, so what's that? How many boyfriends did that airport pop star change? Who knows how long the potential has been with Tang? Besides, it doesn't matter if you're married, can't you still get divorced if you're married, there are too many variables in the future, and she doesn't have the habit of sitting still.
In this regard, she is much more persistent than her sister Sophia.
It's purely a matter of personality, her personality is stronger and more competitive, of course, you can also understand that she likes Tang Qian more deeply than her sister Sophia.
But Tang Qian didn't have the kung fu to take care of these things at the moment, his offense and strength and weight training had reached a breakthrough point, and he was almost ready to enter a higher level with a little more strength. This offseason, he's going to work hard to become the Lakers' deserved boss.
At this time, the free market is changing rapidly, and Nowitzki chose to renew the Mavericks with a large salary cut of 25 million for three years. Carter joined the Grizzlies for 12 million in 3 years, Anthony still stayed with the Knicks, and Greg. Monroe stayed with the Pistons, Chandler. Parsons left the Rockets for 3 years and 45 million to join the Dallas Mavericks. Lowry chose to stay with the Toronto Raptors, he turned down the Lakers' offer to join, and Wade re-signed to stay with the Miami Heat. At this point, more and more big fish have settled, and it seems that there is not much room left for the Lakers to operate.
On the evening of one day, the Lakers management informed Tang Qian that he would come to the negotiation meeting early tomorrow morning. Bosh.
When Tang Qian arrived early in the morning, he still couldn't believe it, after all, when he arrived here, many things began to change, although in general he still maintained the "historical conservation inertia", but the more people who intersected with him, the bigger and deeper, the amplitude of deflection increased. Bosh is a man who is beyond his judgment.
Because in the original time and space, Bosh finally stayed with the Miami Heat with the highest salary, and now, there is a "fork".
For Bosh, after Tang Qian rearranged his thoughts all night, he still decided to try his best to persuade him. After all, he thought about it carefully and thought that he and Bosh actually fit in very well with each other. In particular, after Bosh practiced a stable 3-point trick, this fit became perfect. You see, Tang Qian + Bosh, equal to the defensive range and mobility suddenly reached the NBA historical level, Tang Qian's rebounding and basket deterrence, made up for Chris. Bosh's shortcomings, Bosh's projection and space also make up for Tang Qian's need to frequently leave the basket to defend himself, and also increase the attack range of this combination. So, on paper, there's really nothing wrong with that.
Far from being bad, it's like a "match made in heaven".
After thinking about these things clearly, Tang Qian decided to put aside his previous suspicions, be open and honest, and help the team recruit Chris. Bosh.
Around 9 o'clock, Bosh and his agent Henry. Thomas came to the Lakers' conference room, and as soon as he entered the door, Tang Qian politely shook hands with Bosh as the player's representative.
"Hello, Chris."
"Hello, hot"
Tang Qian changed his name here, he used to be called Bosh's surname, but now he suddenly changed to his first name. In the United States, this is a small change in the relationship. It reflects Tang Qian's willingness to cooperate with Bosh.
"I didn't expect to see you here in the Finals, what do you think of our Los Angeles Lakers?" Tang Qian asked.
"That's good, but I'll have to make a decision after this meeting." Bosh faced Tang Qian at the beginning, in fact, it was a little awkward, but since the other party had changed his name and took the initiative to give him the stairs, Bosh was no longer so entangled, BA League, in general, it is still a "business league" and "business league", and Bosh does not have the meaning of old-school players who want one person and one city, so as long as he is given enough money, he thinks that it is more comfortable to play, and by the way, there is a chance to compete for the championship, which is enough. Even, he thinks that there is no chance of competing for the championship, it doesn't matter. Anyway, he has won the NBA championship trophy twice, which also makes his pursuit of the ring no longer so strong. He ended up staying in Miami, can't you see that the Heat team has left James, and the overall competitiveness has plummeted, and it is impossible to compete for Larry again. O'Brien Cup? No, of course he knew, but the Heat gave him enough money, so he stayed.
Why did I want to meet with the Lakers this time, mainly because Bosh wants to change places to feel the feelings, the big city of Los Angeles is naturally a little more attractive than Miami and Houston, otherwise the price that the Lakers can offer is around 92 million for 4 years, which looks slightly more than the Rockets. Regardless of the annual increase, it is about 23 million a year, but considering that Texas has no state tax, the actual salary will not be less than 100 million for the Lakers. Because California's state tax is one of the highest in the United States, as high as 13.3%, and Texas is completely exempt, the difference is clear. This is also the reason why Howard still earned it even though he seemed to reject the Lakers' five-year, 118 million contract. Because it is only 4 years, the actual starting salary, Howard looks like a loss, in fact, he can earn about $2 million more than the Lakers every year. In 4 years, he received more than 8.4 million more than 8.4 million more actual after-tax wages, and as for the entire contract, he only received 14 million more than the Rockets in the fifth year. For a star of his level, 14 million a year is almost a "cheap contract". So this is also a big factor that Morey's contract is not high every time he fires a player, but he is very competitive.
The Heat's offer to Bosh is a five-year, $118 million contract with a maximum salary, which is not far from the Lakers' offer of Howard that year. So why is he still willing to stay with the Heat in the original plane? The reason is age! He is now 30 years old, and Howard was only 2728 years old that year, which means that under normal circumstances, Howard is still at the tail of his peak, and Bosh is completely aging and has become a 3536-year-old veteran. The last big contract, he couldn't have chosen it that way. After all, next time, unless there is a miracle, he will not be able to sign such a good contract price.
However, the Lakers can only offer this price, Bosh is a veteran who has played for more than 10 seasons, and can get 35% of the league's salary cap according to the maximum salary rule. 4.5% increments. There is no problem with sincerity, this is the maximum range that can be done within the rules of the alliance. But during the negotiations, it was obvious that Bosh was a little "absent-minded". Because although he is a little moved, overall, he is still willing to choose the Miami Heat's 5-year 118 million US dollars.
At this time, the Lakers actually felt the meaning of the other party, so the initial enthusiasm for negotiations was gradually declining.
Also, what can the Lakers attract to Bosh? In addition to the background of the big city, the rest of the contracts? The total amount is not as good as the Heat, the after-tax is not as good as the Texas Rockets, and now it is a rebuilding team, and they can't even shout the slogan of competing for the championship, what else can they say? It's normal that it's not attractive enough.
Besides, is Bosh's desire for the championship really strong?
I'm afraid it's hard to say.
What to do? I can't do anything but let go of this big fish, alas.
Just when both sides were a little "happy", Tang Qian suddenly said a sentence to Bosh:
"Hey, I know that the Lakers' salary or the promise of a championship is not enough to impress you, so ......" Tang Qian paused and said, "Do you want a hand full of rings?" β
As soon as these words came out, the audience was stunned, although the words were very heroic and magnificent, but it doesn't mean that Bosh is a fool, now the Lakers are a rebuilt team, why do you say that you can let yourself be full of rings? Do you think Kobe Bryant was still on the team last season? Then you can think about it.
"Hot, the words are very good, but the persuasion is too poor, I'm not a teenager anymore, this kind of words, I'm sorry I can't scare me."
Tang Qian nodded, he stood up and said: "Just talk about not practicing, of course not, the authenticity is too poor, I also understand, so, why don't we go to the training ground alone?" I'm sure I'll think about it again when the time comes. β
Bosh wanted to refuse, but when the words came to his lips, he agreed again, and the two agreed to go alone, and there was no one to enter the battle. No one knew what Tang Qian wanted to do.
"Hot, what do you want to do? What's your plan? Will it work? "Bonnie. Laughlin looked at Tang Qian and asked in a low voice.
"There's no plan, it's just to try it, and the common saying in our country is that a dead horse is a live horse doctor." After saying that, Tang Qian could go down, and the two of them went to the closed court.
After arriving at the court, Bosh looked at Tang Qian and smiled: "Okay, how are you going to convince me?" I'm looking forward to it. β
Tang Qianyan said succinctly: "Defeat you." β
βοΌhatοΌ Do you want to fight? You, you, don't mess around, this is the United States, I can call the police! Hearing this, Bosh said nervously, which made Tang Qian a little speechless: "Am I so terrible?" Chris, I mean, with the prowess of basketball, convince you and let you know I'm not kidding. Otherwise, how do you get one hand full of rings? β
"Oh, it's not a fight, that's good, but ...... I know your strength very well, your defense and rebounding are a bit invincible in the league, but your offense, I'm sorry, I really doubt it. Bosh said: "Now that there is no Bryant, can you do it alone?" Of course, I don't really mind being the second in charge, but you also need to be qualified to do so. β
"You don't think I'm qualified enough?" Tang Qian looked at Bosh Dao.
Bosh nodded very simply: "That's right, I don't think you have this qualification for the time being, I never think that a person with offensive ability can lead the team to win the championship in the end, because at the critical moment, you can only rely on others, not yourself." That's why in my mind, Bill. The reason for Russell's low status. I don't think he won the FMVP award for at least a few years because there are people who have contributed more than him in the finals. Of course, if there is an FMVP selection at that time. β
"Then you can give it a try." Tang Qian also smiled: "What level do you think my offense is?" β
Bosh said decisively: "At an average of 10+ per game, without Nash, you have to cut a big piece off the ball, and without Bryant, your defensive pressure will increase dramatically, and the chances of getting the help board will be reduced, so I said you are this value." "It's lower than my average points per game in the regular season last season, and you're really ...... You kind of look down on me. Tang Qian stopped talking nonsense, took off his clothes and said, "Then what if I tell you that I am much stronger than you imagined to score?" β
"Much stronger? How strong? If you can average 20+ per game, then I can consider it, after all, 20+20 data, coupled with your blocking ability, I estimate that you are the first center in the league, and the regular season MVP is not impossible to compete for. It's okay to be the second leader of the regular season MVP. Bosh said, "Unfortunately, you don't." "20+ per game?" Tang Qian's smile began to gradually brighten: "Do you know Chris, I don't have the ability to score 20+ per game, I only have the ability to score more than 20+ per game." β
Bosh was stunned, but soon said happily: "You? Scald? It's not that I look down on you, your rebounds are over 20+, almost the same, score, then forget it, do you think I didn't play 6 games with you in the finals? β
Tang Qian moved his muscles, grabbed the basketball with one hand and said: "I don't know if you have heard an ancient saying in our East, which is called Shibei should be impressed for three days." It's been almost 2 months now, do you think it's appropriate to still look at me with old eyes? β
Tang Qian stood on the basketball court, and said in a very calm voice: "Come on, I still say the same thing, use my strength to convince you, I hope you don't forget what you just said." β
"Before I let one of your hands fill the ring, I'm going to convince you completely."
"~~~Come !!"
PS: Don't worry, it's all on the plot development outline, there will be a lot of things, this is just the beginning, and there will be no less things in the back.
Anyway, what can be said is that in a situation like Kobe's, there will only be one time, without exception.
