Chapter 247 - Contract Issues

In July, James made public his plans to return to the Cavaliers, causing an uproar in the league.

Pat Riley, the general manager of the Heat, was unhappy, and the player's contract extension work began to accelerate, and there was a feeling of forcing the player to stand on the side.

Zhang Xiaotian didn't want to make a decision so early, would the Heat still be able to win the championship without James.

He's a bit of a Rockets now, and Howard still has the title of No. 1 center, and he hasn't worked with the No. 5 in his prime.

Fans are also crooked Zhang Xiaotian's partner Jeremy Lin, but Jeremy Lin was quickly traded by the Rockets as many expected.

However, the price of the rocket is a bit unsatisfactory, 30 million in four years, Zhang Xiaotian obviously has to consider it carefully.

The most willing to make an offer is the Mavericks, 36 million for three years, but the third year must be a team option.

In fact, it is the Nets and the Grizzlies who are willing to give him 30 million for three years.

The Wizards and 76ers are reluctant to pay a large price, but player options and short-term contracts can be negotiated, while the Hornets want to sign long-term contracts of more than four years, and there is no Mavericks to make a good offer.

Players choose teams, and teams don't set their sights on one player.

The team that contacted Eddie will definitely be in contact with other suitable players.

If James hadn't directly chosen to return to the Cavaliers, the free market would have exploded this summer.

Eddie's opinion is to choose the biggest contract to sign, if you don't make a decision quickly, the opportunity may be missed.

Zhang Xiaotian is not indecisive, he has his own plans.

In another year, he will have the opportunity to sign a maximum salary, there is a system, and he doesn't want to decide the path for the next few years so quickly.

The other is the championship reward, and his biggest goal is still for the championship.

Although the team that gets him will definitely improve its strength, some teams are not strong enough, like the 76ers, and they were directly rejected by him.

Coupled with James' invitation, he still plans to wait a little longer.

A few days after James sent out the invitation, the Cavaliers reported a four-year 28 million, which is not as good as the Rockets.

Zhang Xiaotian's requirements are very clear, if the annual salary is less than 10 million, he will definitely want the player draft, and the years will definitely not be long, and the annual salary of more than 10 million will also depend on the strength of the team.

Anyway, all the teams that made the offer had no intention of using him as the core of the team, and at most they booked the main position.

It seems that although he is popular, no team really looks favorably on him.

As for those who say that they have a chance to become the successor of the team if they perform well, they are all bluffing.

Having the opportunity to become a core and being a core cultivator is a completely different treatment, Zhang Xiaotian is not a rookie who has just entered the alliance, and he will not be fooled.

In addition, the good sales of the Tenjin series gave him the confidence that if the annual salary of the champion could not reach his ideals, he would choose the team with the highest exposure.

Because of the improvement of the training room, even if he doesn't finish anything, he can become stronger, at most slowly.

So his options are much more flexible than last season.

It's a pity that he is calm and calm, but the team that made him an offer is not willing to wait longer.

The Heat thought that he wanted to blackmail the team, and when he offered 30 million for three years and did not give the player options, Zhang Xiaotian did not immediately agree, the Heat won Lore Deng for 20 million in two years.

The Wizards also chose to give up, they couldn't give Zhang Xiaotian the status he wanted, and finally chose the cheaper veteran Pierce.

Then there is the calf, the calf thinks that they are sincere enough Zhang Xiaotian is too good, but in fact, their goal is not only Zhang Xiaotian, they won Parsons for 46 million in three years.

With such a big contract, Parsons doesn't care about any player options at all, and it is much neater than Zhang Xiaotian's side.

On the Mavericks' side, the main reason is that Nowitzki is no longer at his peak, and he will hesitate if the team does not have a super scorer.

Zhang Xiaotian also felt a little sorry that the ten-million-level contract was missed like this, but thinking about it, everyone was just making a price to negotiate, even if he agreed, Mavericks would not necessarily choose him.

Next, the rocket he intended to do not wait for him, and welcomed back Ariza, and Zhang Xiaotian's choice was much smaller.

The Hornets are not willing to wait, but the Nets and Grizzlies are not in a hurry.

On the side of the local tyrant network, to be honest, he is a little disgusted with the strength of the other party, they have not rushed up this season, Garnett, singles Joe and others are a year older, Delong is unreliable, and Lopez doesn't know how far he can recover.

The Grizzlies feel a little more secure, and they have twin towers, but they also lack super scorers, so he started leaning more towards the Rockets because the Rockets have a young All-Star Harden.

He didn't make a decision for a long time, and James sent another message, asking him to go back and talk in detail, and revealed that the Cavaliers would have big moves.

Zhang Xiaotian's next stop for brand promotion is also the United States, he registered a company on both sides, and there is a lot less trouble, but if you want to officially sell, you still need some procedures, and the management methods on both sides will not be the same.

He was not in a hurry, and waited for the work here to stabilize before he flew to the United States with Yang Feiyu.

Yang Feiyu will go back after a while, and the fan activities here are relatively few because of some restrictions, Zhang Xiaotian is a lot more relaxed, and he can concentrate on talking about the contract.

Eddie has been busy this summer, but he knows who is number one in the company.

After Zhang Xiaotian came over, he immediately adjusted other matters and was on call 24 hours a day.

Back in the United States, Zhang Xiaotian heard the inside information that the Cavaliers are interested in Kevin Love, who is the best team in the second team, and they want to build a big and small team suitable for James after the Heat four years ago.

Kevin Love can pull out and grab rebounds, except for the problem of helping defense, which is almost an upgraded version of Bosh.

Keeping the young Irving, plus James and Love, this lineup is really exciting.

But in this way, if Zhang Xiaotian wants to join the knight, the honor will be insulated from him again.

You must know that they were so strong last season, and only James entered the best team.

And the All-Defensive Team, not to mention the core treatment of Paul George, who was selected for the All-Defensive Team for three times and was selected for the All-Defensive Team for the first team, Leonard and Jimmy Butler both made the All-Defensive Team for the second team.

The Heat also made the best defensive team James, everyone else was pitiful, and the Big Three became a good man and a gang of three.

Fortunately, the system doesn't care about these honors, otherwise Zhang Xiaotian would have made it even more difficult to choose.

Zhang Xiaotian was just about to have a serious talk with the knight, but the attitude of the knight had changed a little.

Lefu is about to be done, and they will not lack veterans who come to hug their thighs, and the management boasts that the lineup is stronger than the Heat, and they are not so concerned about Zhang Xiaotian.

Tens of millions of annual salaries, player options, they don't plan to give, and they want to tie Zhang Xiaotian with a cabbage price contract for a few years.
