Chapter 152: The Choice of the Team
"Oh, he's called Kidd, and he's part of the team of agents I pulled into you." Zhao Ling explained to Wang Dacang. "Before that, he was the agent of a baseball player in the Major League Baseball, and his grades have always been quite good, and I think he has some experience in this industry, and I am familiar with it, so I invited him to join."
Looking at this handsome guy with short blond hair and a handsome head, Wang Dacang felt a sense of crisis in his heart for no reason.
"Kidd?" Looking at this guy, the expression on Wang Cannon's face was not clear.
"Hello, Mr. Wang, I have admired the name for a long time." Kidd smiled at Wang Cannon and politely stretched out a hand.
Wang Cannon ignored Kidd's outstretched hand, turned his head and asked Zhao Ling, "A member of my agent team?" Why don't I know? Is he approved by me to join? ”
"What? Didn't you say that I should be solely responsible for this matter? Zhao Ling looked at Wang Cannon a little strangely, I haven't seen him for three months, why did Wang Cannon suddenly say this, "Kidd is my good friend's boyfriend, he and my good friend have joined together, and he has been busy with all kinds of things about you during this time."
"Wait! You say he has a girlfriend? Wang Cannon didn't listen to Zhao Ling's explanation at all and asked.
"Of course, my best friend at school is his girlfriend, and the two of them have a very good relationship, and they will get married in December this year." Zhao Ling said.
"Gah?" Wang Cannon was suddenly a little dumbfounded, looking at Kidd, not knowing what to say.
Wang Cannon's approach is actually quite childish, but obviously no one took it to heart, after all, Wang Dacang's funny character has been completely deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
The small episode didn't cause any big problems, and it quickly got down to business.
The main reason for Wang's return to the United States is that the trading market has reopened with the end of the shutdown.
Wang Cannon needs to find a new team to play.
For any team in the league, Wang Cannon is the kind of player who is rare. His extremely strong defensive ability, almost invincible rebounding defense, and the huge market as a Chinese make Wang Cannon a player that all teams are vying for in the free market, even more sought-after than Paul and Howard who are making a move.
Especially after Yao Ming retired, he was the only one in the league who could play the main force. The player who can appear in the news headlines many times is only Wang Dacang, and Yi Jianlian really can't help it.
Many teams in the league are very dissatisfied and jealous that the Rockets can monopolize the very big cake of China, and now there is such an excellent opportunity to open the Chinese market as Wang Dacang, no matter which team is willing to miss Wang Dacang.
Almost as soon as the free market opened, Zhao Ling's phone was about to burst, not only Zhao Ling, but even Wang Cannon's phone rang endlessly, including the retired Yao Ming, many NBA players who had a good relationship with Wang Dacang were encouraging Wang Dacang to join their respective teams.
For this case. Wang Dacang's answer has already been sentenced, "The one with the highest price will get it!" ”
Wang Cannon is not a clear person, he has never been high, he is rich and does not make a bastard, for Wang Cannon, as long as he can make a price that satisfies him, and the team has a certain strength to make himself into the playoffs and score points, then it is all in Wang Cannon's consideration.
Among them. Teams that don't have a superstar-caliber player can be prioritized, and this season Wang Cannon is not prepared to just grab rebounds and defend. He's going to attack, and if he joins a team with an attacking core, then the points he can get are obviously much smaller.
Wang Cannon's words were spread by Zhao Ling and also reached the ears of the managers of major teams.
These managers gritted their teeth, for the sake of Wang Cannon and the huge Chinese market behind him! It doesn't matter if you pay more! Anyway, the collective bargaining agreement is like that, and it's not bad at all!
And so. The teams that made an offer to Wang Cannon rushed in.
In Miami, in the hotel owned by Zhao Ling's family, Wang Dacang sat on the sofa, looking at a few Wen Jiàn on the table, his brows furrowed.
"Here are a few of the teams that offer the right price. I've screened out some of the bigger teams, which one do you think is more suitable? Kidd sat across from King Cannon and said with a smile. Once you've figured it out, you can call me and I'll help you get in touch with the team's general manager for an interview. ”
After that, Kidd left, leaving Wang Dacang alone to stare at Wen Jiàn on the table.
Among the essays on the table, there were only a few offer teams mentioned, but these made Wang Cannon hesitate a little.
"Los Angeles Lakers, Los Angeles Clippers, Boston Celtics, Chicago Bulls, Houston Rockets, New York Knicks" Wang Cannon looked at the names of these teams, as well as their offers, and his brow was about to twist into a ball.
"The Lakers traded Odom to the Mavericks and got an $8 million trade exception, and they embraced that trade exception to sign them."
"The Clippers want to sign Wang Cannon for three years on a contract of 12 million a year, for a total of 36 million in three years."
"The Celtics' offer is 10 million a year, also a three-year contract, and Ray Allen left the Celtics at the end of this season, leaving a big gap in the Celtics' salary."
"The salary offered by the Chicago Bulls is not high, only 6 million a year, but considering the state of the Bulls' market, it was specifically included in the list."
"The Houston Rockets' offer may be the highest among these teams, 15 million a year, signed for five years, increasing every year, but the Rockets have basically entered the stage of retreating to rebuilding due to Yao Ming's retirement, and it is not a particularly good choice to go there."
"The New York Knicks' offer is only one point higher than that of the Rockets, and they will give Wang Cannon 13 million a year." However, Wang Cannon basically doesn't think about the Knicks, not to mention anything else, just Anthony and Stoudemire, the two guys who don't look at Wang Cannon are there, so Wang Cannon doesn't have the slightest desire to go there.
"Which team are you going to?" Wang Cannon was caught in a dilemma.
Although he always wanted to play a more important position in other teams when he was in the Heat, on this day, Wang Cannon couldn't find a team he particularly liked.
It's a very painful thing.
Just when Wang Cannon was entangled, he suddenly received a phone call, which was from his old teammate in the Heat, James.
"Wang, I think you've already started preparing for your next home, how about it? Have you figured out where to go? On the phone, James's voice had a little bit of mystery, as if he was hanging the appetite of the king's cannon.
"Not really." Wang Cannon shook his head, "It seems that there is no team that I am satisfied with, and you know, I don't just want to be a defensive player next season, and when I get to these teams, I'm afraid I will have to go back to my old job." ”
"Really? That being the case, I have a place I would like to recommend to you, I wonder if you are interested? James asked.
"You don't know how to say knights, do you?" Wang Cannon listened to James's words, and suddenly thought of the Cavaliers.
James turned out to be a player of the Cavaliers, but the Cavaliers' record has always been poor, even with James's help, the best result is only the Finals. For the championship, James came to the Heat to form the Big Three, so the possibility of James convincing himself to join the Cavaliers as a lobbyist is very high.
"It's not like I said, the Cavaliers are not a good team now, even if they are selected this year, but the bottom of the league still has no way to run, of course, I don't care about these, the key is that Cleveland is a small city, there is no meaning at all" Wang Cannon said helplessly, lobbyists like James, he has been persuaded to retire several times, including Yao Ming and others who represent the Rockets.
"I'm not trying to introduce you to Cleveland, it's a different team." When James heard Wang Cannon say this, he was not in a hurry, but said more mysteriously: "Do you want to go to the City of Angels to play?" (To be continued......)
