Chapter 280: 04 Free Market Strife

It seems that Cuban is willing to spend this year testing the true strength of the '01 center to see if he can integrate with the team. Of course, there is the most important point, in fact, Cuban values another person, getting Tyson is just a guarantee, and with Tyson, the big deal that was originally planned to pursue Dampier has also failed, and the new contract prepared by the Warriors for Dampier has also been laid out.

When the whole league was in an uproar about this trade, they couldn't help but look at what the two teams were doing this trade, and then think about it, it was a win-win deal, the Mavericks got one of the best guard players in the league right now, and they can continue to launch their own championship attack.

After completing this heavyweight trade with the Mavericks, the Wizards have already got the forward defense, shooting and player ability that the team needs most, and more importantly, they have got a rotation of defense and offense, and then the Wizards sent Jerry to the Raptors in exchange for former Wizards player Larry with a one-year contract? Hughes and a rookie.

This is more than a trade just to strengthen the Wizards' perimeter defense, and Hughes has proven to be a better fit to team up with Arenas, while also getting rid of Jerry's next big contract and getting his favorite in the next free agency.

As for the Magic and Rockets deal, there is no sign of it, so there is nothing surprising about the situation, Maddie has also got what he wants in the past three years with the Magic, and his teammates also have strong helpers.

Although Houston has become a big burden for the team due to injuries now, coupled with the arrival of a new high school champion, even if it is not Okafor's immediate force, Maddie does not really want to leave here, and it would be strange if Maddie felt that it was not worth it to come to Houston for a trade from management.

At the same time, Mir and Hill went to a private hotel box, waiting for the only old Knicks who was interested in signing this summer.

"I didn't expect it! I really didn't expect it! Can I, an old guy who just failed, get the hottest manager in the league to come along with the most successful player of the season? Haha, should I brag about my situation this summer? ”

"Gary? Peyton, you're not here alone because of the sincerity we show, right? I don't think you're rejecting us Knicks in your heart, are you? Or in other words, have you ever had the heart to come to our Knicks! ”

"I need a reason, a reason to you Knicks!"

"We can only guarantee that we will give you a championship ring this season, as for the rest, we dare not have any guarantees!"

"You can't even give me a starter, and you're still letting me go to you?"

"If you want to play as a power forward, I'm sure we'll give you a chance to prove yourself! As for point guards, do you think you're going to be tougher than Bow Peak in the Knicks? ”

"Haha, are you so direct when you invite people? Or do you think you really beat O'Neill? If it weren't for the fact that none of us could defend against your Hill's offense, do you think we're going to lose this season? ”

"I don't know if it will, because Malone is on our team, we have a great player who can limit O'Neal, but do you think this year's Lakers can keep O'Neal on the new roster? Let O'Neal leave alone next summer without leaving the Lakers with something? ”

Payton is silent on this issue, which is the only reason why he has not extended his contract for a long time, and that is that the direction of the Lakers has begun to change!

Last season's Lakers team was very strong, not only because of Kobe's transformation to make the Lakers a real collective, but because everyone really wants a championship ring in their hearts, but the cruelty of the truth is not something that can be easily changed, just thinking about the future Lakers have two players with a salary of 20 million, Payton already knows that this is an impossible fact.

As for whether to keep Kobe or O'Neal, in Peyton's opinion, although the team with O'Neal can still hit the championship for about three years, the team with Kobe can guarantee the box office, and Kobe, who is stubborn in his bones, can also maintain the impact on the championship for seven years.

At this time, I heard Mill continue: "It's not difficult to imagine that O'Neal will leave, the Lakers definitely don't want their star to play only more than 60 games in the regular season, and give up a Kobe who loves basketball with all his love, if I would choose Kobe Bryant to stay!" ”

Hill continued: "O'Neal is likely to be traded to the East because of the Larry Bird clause, so O'Neal can continue to get 20 million in the summer next year!" But no matter which team O'Neal goes to, do you think he can still beat the Spurs or the Knicks, or even the Pistons? ”

"In the next season, it's us, the Spurs, the Pistons, the Mavericks, the Suns or the Pacers who can win the championship, and the Spurs can't sign you with a salary of five million, because they pay the luxury tax if they do that, and the rest of them do you want to go there? Unless you're willing to believe that the Pacers will give up Tinsley, who plays like you, for you, no other team will invite you as the main point guard! ”

"We have shown the greatest sincerity, it is disrespectful to you to let Gong Feng come, and besides, he has something to do, your arrival will increase our chances of defending the title, that's why we are here...... Having said this, we have done our best to do our best, and what should have been said has already been said, and the rest we just want a yes or no answer, do you give it to us now? 'Gloves' Peyton? ”

Peyton was silent, drank three glasses of wine in succession, and then, after a long silence, looked at the text of the contract on the table, and looked at it carefully.

The text on the table was very similar to what Malone signed at the time, and there were several similar terms, Payton saw the one-year salary and looked at the terms that were very respectful to a star, was silent, and then said: "I need to show it to my lawyer, this is the procedure, and I will sign this clause at the end, I still want to see it." ”

Mill and Hill looked at each other, the two nodded, and then said, "Yes, we'll look forward to it, but we need to know your final decision a little earlier than the media." ”

Peyton smiled at this, and then said, "Yes!" Don't worry, I'll sign you up, as long as there's nothing wrong with this contract! ”

Hill watched Payton leave a little sluggishly, and looked at Mir with some doubts, Mill didn't have any doubts about Hill's gaze, just said softly: "After all, Payton is old, and the salary of five million is already a limit, and we invited him as a champion, and the only thing he doesn't sign a contract now is just to leave some leeway for himself, and he doesn't want to give people a tongue!" ”

When Hill heard this, he took a wordless sip of his wine.

Peyton is like that, and who can resist time? But looking at Mir beside him, Hill also smiled, there shouldn't be this problem in the Knicks, right?

……

Next up is O'Neal's big deal to travel east to Miami.

Jackson quit his job as head coach of the Lakers after completing the deal, and the Lakers immediately signed a contract with former Wizards coach Doug Murphy. Collins completed a four-year contract as head coach.

When Cuban saw that the Lakers invited Collins to be the head coach, he angrily threw down the water glass next to him, and Wizards owner Pauline couldn't help but be stunned when he saw this signing, and as if he thought of something, Pauline's heart began to tug at it...... The rookies of '01 are in their last year this year!

Kwame Brown, Bow Peak, Gasol...... How many people want to sign these people with their saliva, and now they have entered a fierce secret competition.

Then the Knicks completed a small trade with the Suns, and the Suns traded White and the Suns' first-round picks for the next two years in '05 and '06 for Cotter? Thomas also has the Knicks' second-round pick for the next two years.

The Knicks, who had just completed the signing, reached a buyout agreement with White, who signed a one-year 2 million contract with the Bobcats, and the Knicks also spent 2 million less on the salary for this. Many people already think that the Knicks are no longer the big-spending Knicks, but many managers let out a long sigh, it seems that the second generation understands the dark rules of the league better than many people.
