Sam Kimchi ponders the Cavaliers' general manager's trading plan.

Just trade to LeBron. James, Sam Kimchi absolutely believes the 76ers can reach the Finals this season.

After all, the East can limit James' small forward, that is, Paul. George one.

But the overall strength of the Pacers is not good, in other words, as long as James is in the East, no matter what team he is on, he can rely on him to reach the Finals.

The 76ers are in the Finals, and whether he wins the championship or not, Sam Kimchi can write a lot in his career.

Fame is guaranteed, and so are results.

Sam Kimchi heard the Cavaliers take out LeBron this time. When James came to make a deal, it was absolutely a lie to say that he had not wavered in his heart.

It's just that James's age is ......

If James had been three or four years younger, maybe Sam Kimchi would have agreed immediately.

Not to mention the risk of injury, even if he Zhang Zifeng has a career of more than ten or twenty years.

But Sam Kimchi simply couldn't do that long with the 76ers.

Don't talk about him, I'm afraid that his boss may not hold the 76ers for so long.

Instead of pinning his hopes on Zhang Zifeng, who has not proven himself in the playoffs, it is more cost-effective to trade directly to James, the first person in the league, so that the 76ers will immediately become a championship team.

But now that James is 32 years old, how much of his prime is left?

It was clear from last season that he was not as fit as he used to be.

Think about the OK combination back then, Kobe Bryant and O'Neal fell out, and Zen master Jackson wanted to keep O'Neal.

But the elder Buss was the one who sent O'Neal, the league's most dominant player, away, although the Lakers fell in decline in the following seasons.

But the end result proved that the elder Bass was more sophisticated.

O'Neal helped the Heat win the championship in '06, but his form has been maintained for 2 seasons, and his form has been getting worse and worse every year since '07.

On the contrary, the Lakers, who kept Kobe, won two championships in 09 and 10 in succession, and Kobe Bryant played until 2015 before retiring.

Although James and Zhang Zifeng are different from OK, the reason is similar.

In terms of popularity and strength, Zhang Zifeng is now inferior to James.

But they're young!

And more importantly, Zhang Zifeng continues to rise, the team has an excellent record, and he is the focus of attention, not only in China and the United States, Zhang Zifeng's popularity around the world is also increasing.

The most obvious thing is that Zhang Zifeng's global jersey sales are getting hotter and hotter day by day, and now he is the third in the league, and he is about to overtake James and Curry and become the first in the active team.

It's not cost-effective to exchange Zhang Zifeng for James!

Sam Kimchi sighed and asked his assistant to reply to the Knights, rejecting their deal.

Knight General Manager David. In Griffin's office, the assistant ran in and said, "Sir, 76 people have rejected our plan!" ”

"Refusal? Did they think Zhang Zifeng would be better than James? Do they think Zhang Zifeng can enter the finals? It's a dream! Forget it, since they don't know the goods, then let's consider their teams! ”

It's just that Zhang Zifeng has popularity, a market, and a future, and if he is exchanged for James, the Cavaliers will definitely not lose.

But there are a few people in the league who are qualified to be compared to James, and now Durant may be worth the price, and no one else should even think about it.

There was no better option, and David Griffin had to turn back and consider trading Irving.

News of the Cavaliers' attempt to trade Owen quickly spread across the league.

……

Embiid terminated his contract with his original agency in January 2016 and switched to Leon Rose of C+ Economics.

On this day, Leon Rose met with Adidas executive Mike in his office. Wexler.

He yelled at Mike. Wexler shouted, "Mike, you idiot. You messed it all up! You bastard, you've completely pushed a guy who lays golden eggs into our opposite side. Damn it, I would be stupid enough to work with an idiot like you! ”

Mike. Wicksler shouted loudly without showing weakness, "Leon, you bastard, you put us together first!" Which bastard promised Zhang Zifeng that as long as he signed with you. You are absolutely sure that Zhang Zifeng will get the most expensive endorsement fee in history. Fuck, you still want to leave us alone and let Zhang Zifeng sign a contract with Nike! ”

Leon Ross also shouted angrily, "FUCK! Don't fucking try to slander Lao Tzu. It was you, an idiot, who foolishly went to buy his agent first, trying to convince that fat man to sign with your company! ”

Mike. Wexler shouted, "Idiot, get rid of you and use your brains!" I bribed his agent, don't you have a handle. Let Zhang Zifeng no longer trust his agent, you can't take the opportunity to enter! ”

Leon Rose slapped the table and shouted, "Did you buy it successfully?" Even if the purchase is successful. The broker charges a benefit fee, this is the business consensus, do you think he will think that this little thing will fall out with his agent? ”

Mike. Wicksler almost smashed the cup in his hand, "Raised by a bitch, things messed up, and the blame is on our side." At the beginning, it was said that several companies would join forces to do a game together and force Zhang Zifeng to comply. You signed Zhang Zifeng, and he signed an endorsement with us. We are in charge of the media on the US side, and you are in charge of the media on the Chinese side. We did it, but what about you? Until now, I haven't seen a few influential media in Huaxia stand up to smear Zhang Zifeng! ”

was yelled at by Adidas' high-level Lake, Leon Rose was a little weak-hearted, and the ACC side that had been promised at the beginning contacted Huaxia to launch a wave of water army to collectively smear Zhang Zifeng.

first hype up the atmosphere, and then buy a few influential media to engage Zhang Zifeng again.

In this way, the media in China and the United States are suppressing Zhang Zifeng,

At that time, Zhang Zifeng, who is in deep trouble, will definitely be dissatisfied with his useless agent, and ACC can appear in front of Zhang Zifeng as a savior and force him to cooperate with ACC.

What Leon Rose didn't expect was that Zheng Xinguo, the dead fat man, was so smart that he knew that Huaxia was their foundation, and established a mature crisis public relations team in Huaxia early.

When the navy first came up to smear Zhang Zifeng, they immediately pulled up another navy to correct Zhang Zifeng's name.

The two waves of water armies fought on the Internet and turned the world upside down, but they didn't hit Zhang Zifeng, not to mention, and made him even more famous.

ACC's plan lapsed.

In addition to this mistake, it was also because of this incident that Zheng Xinguo became vigilant and took the first step to negotiate with Pico.

Although his heart was weak, Leon Rose still fought back strongly, "You did it? What's going on with the USA Today media outlets. When my client Embiid came forward, how many of those media outlets supported him? And when will the endorsement contract promised to Embiid be signed! ”

Mike. Wexler heard an angry shout, "Even Embiid, that waste who can only play for 20 minutes, still wants to endorse, you are our Adidas Kaizi!" Don't even think about it! ”

After speaking, there was a snap. Mike. Wicksler put down his glass, got up and walked away.

See Mike. Wicksler is gone, and Leon Rose knows that this poaching coalition is a complete failure and disbanded.

Leon Rose took a deep breath and suppressed his anger.

Although I failed to sign Zhang Zifeng this time, it doesn't matter, there is still time, there will always be a chance.

Damn the Chinese people, they always hold the backward idea that you don't live up to me, and I don't live up to you.

What time is it now, money is the most important thing.

By signing with ACC, he will definitely earn twice as much as he does now.

Bian Zhang Zifeng is a stupid donkey, and he won't terminate the contract with Zheng Xinguo's fat and stupid idiot.

Leon Rose was thinking about what method to use to get Zhang Zifeng to sign with ACC.

Suddenly the phone rang, and as soon as Leon Rose answered, the assistant's voice rang on the other end of the phone, "Mr. Leon, Mr. Embiid is here, do you want to see him?" ”

Hearing Embiid coming, Leon Rose thought for a moment and quickly said, "Let him come up!" ”

Soon, Embiid walked into Leon Rose's office.

As soon as he entered the door, Embiid yelled angrily at his agent Leon Rose, "How did you promise me before, you said that as long as I perform well, I can compete for the core position of the team, those media will support me, and those ball quotients will also value me." But what about now? Not to mention the core of the team, I don't even have a chance to play! ”

Agent Leon Rose hurriedly reassured his player and said, "Joel, don't get excited, calm down. Things are not yet irreparable! ”

Embiid laughed angrily, "Don't get excited, don't think I'm a fool, now the team is going to replace me, I have to start afresh from a strange team, and I have to adapt to a new environment, new teammates, new tactics." How do you calm me down! ”

Leon Rose said, "Joel, next year is your contract year, and the 76ers want to extend your contract early. But you want a big contract, and the 76ers are afraid of your injury and won't give it. Isn't it? ”

Embiid nodded and said, "yes, I want a big contract." ”

Leon Rose said: "Joel, you're the league's top center, and only the top salary can match you. But now the 76ers' leading player is the Chinese, and their first consideration is to try to meet Zhang Zifeng's requirements. I heard that in order to keep Zhang Zifeng, the 76ers are willing to give Grant a contract worth 4 years and 38 million. Give Grant a big contract, and the team will also reserve the maximum salary for Zhang Zifeng, as well as the salaries of Rondo and Ibaka. How much more can the team give you? ”

When Embiid heard this, he immediately understood what Leon Rose meant, and he calmed down and sat down in his chair.

Leon Rose saw that Embiid was convinced, and he unbuttoned his suit and sat down.

"Trust me, Joel. This is a common technique used by the team, first to suppress you, force you to submit, and then renew your contract at a cheap price. Joel you have to know that you are the most potential, the best, you are going to be the most dominant centre-forward. If it's not a top salary, it's a humiliation for you. It's a joke that the league's top center doesn't get the league's top salary. Isn't it? ”

was puffed up by Leon Rose, and Embiid's heart was on fire.

Yes, I'm the league's top center, with an average of 20.7 minutes per game, and I can get 20+5+5 data. If it weren't for the manager who could suppress and limit playing time, how much would I get?

Damn, the 76ers completely delayed my development!

Embiid looked at his agent and said, "Then you mean that if the team doesn't give me the maximum salary, I will apply for a transfer!" ”

Leon Rose was stunned for a moment, then quickly recovered and said, "Oh, well, yes. If the team doesn't pay the maximum salary, we will apply for a transfer. But now that you have two years left on your contract with the 76ers, let's think about how you can show your quality this season and show them your value so that we can claim the maximum salary. ”

Embiid heard the frustrated saying, "If you knew earlier, don't fall out with that Chinese so quickly." Now I don't even have a chance to play, how can I show my strength and how can I show my value? ”

Leon Rose smiled and said, "You don't have to worry about that, the team will get you on the pitch soon." After all, even if the 76ers want you to trade as a bargaining chip, you must let your strength reflect in order to maximize your benefits. ”

Embiid was much more relieved to hear that he could play.

Leon Rose said, "Joel, you just have to train with peace of mind, play your best and try to perform better. You don't have to worry about the rest, I'll take care of it. You are my most important customer, and the more you earn, the more I can earn. I won't hurt you, understand? ”

Embiid nodded and said, "Hmm! ”

Sending Embiid away, Leon Rose pondered the aftermath.

Since Zhang Zifeng was not signed, Leon Rose naturally did not want to let Embiid continue to consume with the 76ers, which would only waste one of his customers in vain.

It is in Leon-Rose's interest to maximize the benefits of its customers.

Leon Rose decided to go and talk to 76ers coach Brett in person. Brown talks to General Manager Sam Kimchi.

Leon Rose flew to Philadelphia and met with Sam Kimchi and Brett. Brown had a closed-door meeting, and no one knew what they were talking about.

But as soon as they came out, the team doctor said Embiid was available to play.

On Dec. 7, the 76ers flew to Memphis. As soon as I got off the plane, there were reporters waiting in the parking lot.

"Mr. Brett, I heard that Embiid will be back today, is it true?"

Brett. Brown said as he walked, "yes, Embiid is in great shape right now, and he's going to play today!" ”

The reporters continued, "It is rumored that Embiid and Zhang Zifeng once had a falling out over the status of the team. Is this true, and do you really think of the status of the two of them in the team, or their role? ”

Brett. Brown hurriedly said, "Zhang Zifeng and Embiid are both important players for the team, Zhang Zifeng is the initiation point of the outside attack, Embiid is an important pillar of the team's interior line, and they can help the team win together!" ”

Although Brett. Brown said both men were important players on the team, but everyone could hear what he meant.

Embiid is an important pillar of the interior line, but Zhang Zifeng is the initiation point of the offense. That is to say, the core of the team is Zhang Zifeng, not Embiid.

The reporter still wanted to continue to ask when Brett. Brown ignored the reporter and walked on the bus. These reporters didn't want to interview the players, but the players had already been told by the head coach to not accept interviews at all, and walked on the bus one by one.

At eight o'clock in the evening, the League Express Arena was bustling with activity.

As a member of the league's most famous Southwest Division. Although the Grizzlies are not as strong as the Spurs and the Rockets are the giants of the West, they have always maintained a strong competitiveness.

In particular, the black and white twin towers formed by Gasol Jr. and Randolph are even more terrifying.

Even if Randolph is not as good as he used to be this year as he gets older, his interior offense is still not to be underestimated.

Not to mention that the Grizzlies also have a 2013 Defensive Player of the Year. Gasol.

Whoever dares to despise the grizzly bear, they will pounce on you fiercely and slap you to death!
