Chapter 142: The dust settles, and the knight is signed

On July 7, the farce of Wade's contract extension with the Miami Heat finally came to an end.

The Chicago Bulls signed Wade with a two-year contract worth a total of 47.5 million, and the Heat, who realized it later, urgently offered a contract extension with an annual salary of 20 million, but it was too late.

Wade is not fighting for the size of the contract, but about dignity, he has played for the Heat for more than ten years, won countless honors in his life, and also took the initiative to reduce the salary for the team, but never thought that he would be treated like this at the end of his career.

Within a few days of the free agency market opening, the Heat cast their nets everywhere to catch big fish, but they didn't grab Durant or recruit other stars, but even so, they were unwilling to give Wade the salary he deserved.

Hassan. Whiteside will give 98 million in 4 years.

Dragic didn't blink an eye for 5 years and 90 million eyes.

This kind of attitude, even the good old man Wade, who has a gentle personality, can't bear it.

It's just that Wade moved to the Bulls, and it was not only the Heat fans who were disappointed, but also the Cavaliers fans who wanted to rebuild the Jenway connection in Cleveland.

Although it was known that the possibility of Wade joining the Cavaliers was very small, it was really confirmed that this matter still disappointed Cavaliers fans.

What's more, with the dust settles on Wade's signing, there are few players left in the free market, and it is likely that the end result will be that the Cavaliers will not only succeed in bringing in reinforcements, but will also lose Tristan in the trade. Thompson and Shambaugh are well deserved.

Thankfully, worried Cavaliers fans didn't have to wait long.

On July 10, the Cavaliers officially announced that they had reached an agreement with free agent Wang Feng to sign Wang Feng for 1 year and 18 million.

In the coming year, Wang Feng will wear the Cavaliers' No. 1 jersey to the NBA.

As soon as this news was announced, it immediately caused a violent reaction in the alliance.

"Wang Feng actually went to the knight?"

"Hahaha! That's too funny, isn't it? When the Warriors sign Durant, the Cavaliers can only pick up players they don't want to sign, and they only sign for one year. ”

"James doesn't think that signing Wang Feng can compete with the Warriors, right? Wouldn't it, wouldn't it? ”

Wang Feng's performance in the finals is remarkable, and his performance in the regular season playoffs last season is also quite good, but this also depends on who to compare with.

Kevin. As the top star in the league, Durant's strength can be ranked first even in the history of the league! is not at the same level as Wang Feng at all.

Even with Wang Feng, the Cavaliers may have a hard time competing with the Warriors.

But the wood is in the boat, and there are no big fish left in the coalition free market. Even if you don't sign Wang Feng, there is no better choice.

Therefore, Cavaliers fans can only reluctantly admit this fact, which proves that the Cavaliers management team is not sitting still, and has worked hard to change this desperate status quo.

Wang Feng's three-point shooting and outside defense are also a great improvement for the Cavaliers, especially the outside defense, which may really become an important weapon for the team to contain Durant.

A few days later, Wang Feng officially signed a contract with the Cavaliers.

18 million a year, which is a bit low for Wang Feng's value, many teams have offered him the highest salary, that is, a 4-year contract of 95 million, and the salary for the first year alone is as high as 22 million.

Including after the Heat lost Wade, they also provided Wang Feng with a maximum salary offer.

But there is no way, Wang Feng wants a short-term contract of 1 year, and his attitude is very clear, it is likely that he will leave after a year, and not many teams will be willing to make too high an offer for such a contract.

Even the Cleveland Cavaliers gritted their teeth and agreed under pressure from James.

After Wang Feng signed with the Cavaliers, James was very happy in an interview with reporters.

"Wang Feng is a very good player, with distinctive technical characteristics and strong strength, his performance in the finals is still fresh in my memory, and I believe he will be the last piece of the puzzle for the Cavaliers to win the championship, even if the opponent is the Golden State Warriors, we can win!"

James is a player who is directly opposite Wang Feng in the finals, and there is no one who knows Wang Feng's ability better than him.

A number of players on the Cavaliers welcomed Wang Feng's arrival, but in fact, their attitude mainly depends on the Cavaliers' king James.

Even if they don't like Wang Feng, no one dares to say anything when James has made it clear, after all, the Cavaliers are James's team, not to mention the players, even the team management has the ability to intervene in the influence, as a professional player, in addition to James, I am afraid that only Jordan, the god of basketball, can do this level.

……

On the other hand, after learning that Wang Feng joined the Cavaliers, the attitude of the Warriors was also different.

Curry and Thompson both expressed their blessings to Wang Feng, and general manager Myers and head coach Kerr also publicly expressed their gratitude to Wang Feng for his contributions to the team in the past two years.

"We are ready to welcome Wang Feng back as a guest, and I am sure that the Warriors fans will also warmly welcome this decorated player who has won two championships for the Warriors."

But there are also those who say the opposite.

"Wang Feng is a traitor!"

In the face of reporters' interviews, Green was blunt.

"I understand Wang Feng's desire to get a bigger contract, and the Warriors can't meet his demands, so he chooses to go to another team, which is understandable!"

But why did he choose the Cavaliers? The Warriors and the Cavaliers played two years in the Finals, and we won the final victory, and if it were me, I would definitely not choose a team with a defeated team as my next home, and I would never be a partner with my former enemy! ”

Green's words were so righteous that he even tried to incite Warriors fans to disgust Wang Feng.

But in fact, it is clear to anyone with a discerning eye that the Warriors did not want to renew Wang Feng's contract at all in the summer. Their goal was Durant from the start.

And Green plays a very important role in this, he frequently meets with Durant, tries every means to win over the MVP-level star, and finally chooses to join the Warriors.

Now he secretly changed his concept and never mentioned the matter of wooing Durant, but said that Wang Feng wanted to pursue a bigger contract and voluntarily left the team.

But in fact, the Warriors spent $26 million on an annual salary to sign Durant, while Wang Feng only needed $18 million to sign the Cavaliers.

Seeing Green's disgusting remarks, Wang Feng didn't feel anything.

This guy has always been like this, Wang Feng only thinks that this is a dog barking at him, anyway, Green's ceiling as a professional player is just like that, it is not worth his eyes at all, and there is time to settle this account in the new season.

On the contrary, not long after joining the Warriors, Durant, who had been sprayed by netizens from all walks of life, was stunned.

This TM was also shot while lying down.

I suspect you're connotating me.

You weren't like that when you texted me to invite me before!

Durant, who has not yet experienced the power of Green's formula, can only bear all this silently, and Durant at this time can never imagine what he will experience in the future......
