The second pick in the first round was the famous "Water Pull" Russell, and of course, he also made it to the All-Star later.

The third pick was Jahill Okafor, whose talent was fine, the only problem was being drafted by the Philadelphia 76ers. Over the years, the Philadelphia 76ers have paid attention to two words in cultivating rookies: fate.

It doesn't matter what kind of performance you can play in your rookie season, it's just one season, and after one season, that's ......

The next "rookie genius" is invited.

It vividly interprets what it means to "no girl is always 18, but there is a girl who is 18 every year"!

The good news is that this time the Philadelphia 76ers were the second pick in the first round, and they took the "water pull".

As for Okafor, he was chosen by Li Wan's former club.

The fourth pick in the first round was signed to the Bobcats belonging to "Boss Joe".

"Boss Joe" originally wanted to choose Mario Herzonia, but he held back and chose Latvila's "talented inside" Kristaps Porzingis, whom he was not optimistic about!

This is an interior player who is 2.21 meters tall and has mobility comparable to that of an average small forward.

But the weak figure in Michael Jordan's opinion, must be water......

But in order to verify whether his idea was correct or not, he finally chose this guy!

When Li Wan knew that Michael Jordan had chosen Porzingis, he was stunned for a moment.

He never expected that Jordan's vision would suddenly reach the level of Phil Jackson!

The seventh pick in the first round appeared "Chinese elements", don't get me wrong, it's not that a Chinese player was selected in this pick, but a high school graduate who chose to play in the CBA in order to make money, and the "strongest high school student in the United States" was selected in this pick.

He was Moodier.

No. 1 high school student in the United States!

In order to treat his family, he chose to go to Huaxia CBA after graduating from high school last year......

This experience was obviously unforgettable for him, and before participating in the draft, he showed his suit to the media, only to see the "Chinese flag" embroidered on the inside.

"I hope to be a great player like Li Wan, even if I can't reach that height, I hope I can work hard to prove myself!" Here's his pre-match interview.

It was also this passage that made him overshadow other candidates on the domestic media side.

Then there was the 13th pick in the first round, a particular guard pick, where Phoenix management selected a guard, Devin Booker.

This selection is undoubtedly successful, although before Li Wan's crossing, Booker has not reached the level of Kobe, but he is indeed a representative player of the Mesozoic generation.

Among the class of 2015, he is even better!

If the 2015 season is rescheduled, he will be at least in the top three......

After that, there aren't many names that Lee is familiar with, and the 27th pick in the first round is the Cleveland Cavaliers' draft pick this season, and they chose Larry Nance Jr. for this pick.

As a "second-generation star", little Larry Nance is the same as his dad Larry Nance who plays with the body.

He is an interior player with a positive style and rough technique.

In a league that is getting faster and faster, players like Larry Nance Jr. are becoming more and more popular.

It's just that as far as Li Wan knows, Larry Nance Jr. didn't play. The standard of his entire career has been a qualified substitute at best.

Of course, among the remaining rookies to choose from, this is already considered a "premium product"!

The 2015 draft was not small, and there were "talented players", but there were only a handful of them. Let's put it this way, in the second round of this year, a total of 4 teams gave up their signing rights.

It can be seen that there are really not many "second-round potential stocks" worth betting on this year.

The Cavaliers were one of the teams that gave up the right to sign in the second round.

Even if Li Wan has a "sky eye", he really can't find any "draft pearls", let alone their second-round draft pick or the 57th pick in the second round.

The end result is abandonment......

In fact, this is also one of the few NBA drafts that does not have a second-round break.

In the second round of the previous draft, even if it didn't reach the All-Star level, there were still two or three ordinary starters.

The news that Li Wan had begun training spread throughout the league.

This has aroused the vigilance of many supergiants, and they have also started the "penance" mode.

ESPN cut the videos together, saying, "This is probably the most sweaty bunch of multimillionaires in the world!" ”

Barkley said: "Li Wan is like a catfish, so that all the supergiants dare not relax, they don't want to be ruled by Li Wan continues, this is the only way for them to resist: that is to make themselves stronger!" ”

"I'm already looking forward to the new season!"

The better the players, the better the game will be!

If you want to say that the atmosphere of this alliance is good or not, it really depends on what the "leading big brother" does.

For example, in 2010, after the "peak giant huddle" mode was opened, the whole league was huddled, so that in those years, there were few All-Stars in the team, and they were embarrassed to go out to say hello.

For example, in 2023, who is still the one who shocked the sky and knelt down to kneel the league's highest number of free throws in the league with the Lakers averaging nearly 30 free throws per game, how outrageous is it? Let's put it this way, the number of free throws in each game is more than a dozen more than that of the opposite side, and this is not counting the whistle that the referee symbolically gives the opponent a whistle that the overall situation has been decided in the final quarter.

It was also since he "knelt down" to lead the Lakers back to the play-in stage, and the league's complaints about the unfairness of the whistle have gradually increased.

Anyone who feels that their whistle is not as good as the other side will be off, from the players to the manager.

From the Suns to the Timberwolves......

This is the person who should play an exemplary role and did not take the lead, disturbing the atmosphere of the entire league, and hoping that his side can "8 to 5".

And now, Li Wan, who is so diligent, has also made the supergiants of the entire alliance start training hard.

But anyone who hasn't entered the training ground yet, there must be such a paragraph under their social software: Li Wan, who has won 5 championships, is still working so hard, why are you embarrassed to rest there?

Give me practice, practice to death!

When you retire, there is time to rest!

In the midst of all the reports about the training of the stars, July 1 is also slowly approaching.

Mike Conley, who was in full swing of training, received a call from his agent.

"Man, Chris wants to talk to us, he wants to meet......"

Mike Conley said with a resolute expression: "There's no need for that, just tell him what we think, we hope to trade to Cleveland!" ”

This matter was decided when Li Wan was eliminated in the Eastern Conference Finals.

Compared to Li Wan winning the championship, joining the Cavaliers is the best opportunity at this moment! It just so happened that his contract with the Grizzlies had expired, and he had absolute autonomy at this point......

So he asked his agent to tell Wallace what he thought.

Originally, there was no contact for two days, and he thought that Wallace had started to discuss with Griffin how to sign first and then exchange. - Of course he was willing to leave a little thing for Memphis before leaving.

After all, Memphis was the place where he was selected in the draft and groomed him.

After so many years, so much money, and so much effort, there must be something left, right?

There's no one going to leave without leaving valuable chips for their parent team, right?

No way?

No way?

That person is too egoistic.

Just listening to the agent's words, it seems that Wallace is not dead and wants to talk again.

Seashell......

Mike Conley felt the need to re-examine his agent's ability to do his job.

It seemed that he sensed Mike Conley's dissatisfaction, and the agent was no longer selling, so he hurriedly said: "That's the case, Chris Wallace offered us a 5-year, 153 million maximum salary contract......"

"Much, how much?"

Mike Conley almost bit his tongue and he thought he had misheard.

The agent repeated: "153 million in 5 years!" ”

He wasn't surprised by Conley's reaction, as Chris Wallace had similar reactions when he made the offer.

Although everyone knows that with the signing of a new broadcast contract in the NBA, the league has officially entered the "era of big coins", but Mike Conley never expected that he would be able to sign such an expensive contract.

153 million 5-year ......

The starting salary is more than 26 million!

I deserve ......

Is it?

How much does Chris Wallace love me?

Mike Conley's original insistence on going to Cleveland suddenly became less determined......

NBA players are, to put it bluntly, a bunch of workers.

If you really want to give up 153 million for the championship, Mike Conley is afraid that in ten years, he will say to himself...... There was once a sincere contract in front of me, which I did not cherish!

It's not that he doesn't want to play with his brother, it's not that he doesn't have a "championship dream", but ......

"This league is too impetuous, impetuous league, impetuous players, everything is more and more commercialized, I have been thinking, as a player, in such an era, what should we do, what should we stick to, and then I finally figured it out, is to stick to ......"

"Speak human words!"

Another "hot chat" time for the "Ohio Four", because Oden said "Are you ready to see you in Cleveland", Mike Conley talked a lot.

Cook, who couldn't help himself, interrupted him.

Mike Conley coughed lightly twice, slightly embarrassed in his tone: "He gave too much...... Let's wait a few more years and play 'brother basketball' together! ”

Cook rolled his eyes, his face full of contempt: "How much is it, just buy you?" Can you forget the joy of playing together with your brothers? ”

Mike Conley didn't hide it, and stretched out his hand to compare: "153 million in 5 years!" ”

"Much, how much?"

This time it was Cook's turn to tie his tongue.

He immediately understood Conley.

Situation......

He stomps and he's numb!

It's a similar situation on Oden's side, although not as crazy as Chris Wallace's, but the Trail Blazers also offered a four-year, 100 million contract.

The starting salary is at least more than 23 million.

No one is going to have trouble with money, especially so much money.

In fact, Li Wan also hopes that the "Ohio Four" teaming up can be postponed until the team goes to Columbus.

And when he didn't win the championship last season, he teamed up with Mike Conley and Greg Oden in his playing years, so didn't he become the one who he was?

Li Wan is not a double-standard person.

At the beginning, he was so disdainful of such a thing as "peak huddle", so naturally he would not do this kind of thing.

Moreover, there is a big difference with his personal plan.

In his plan, the next championship was won by the "Pippen" he cultivated himself, plus a group of high-quality main players.

Wiggins worked hard after the Eastern Conference Finals loss.

Before Li Wan started training, he had already entered training mode.

Looking at that posture, it is not at all like the original "wolfberry brother", but a bit of a "hot-blooded brother" posture.

So, the initiation of the rookie is really important.

Let's put it this way, if then-rookie LeBron James had gone to the Pistons instead of the Cavaliers, what might have become!

Wiggins, who is so energetic, will inevitably grow faster than the original, even if it is difficult to become a "second leader" with quality and quantity next season.

It's better than last season, that's for sure!

And before this "Pippen" grows up, he has a "Pippen" with a long neck on the inside line that can be used.

Chris Bosh met with Lee Wan after the season to talk about his treatment.

Thrombosis is about how decisive the treatment is.

Just like Ingram later, as soon as the blood clot was found, he actively treated it, and soon returned to the field, although the blood clot was not completely eliminated, but it was also controlled, and there would be no major consequences that were difficult to contain.

Chris Bosh is about the same now.

It was discovered early, coupled with the immediate announcement of the season reimbursement, the treatment progress is gratifying, and the situation has been stably controlled in the past 5 months from February to now.

Continue to be actively treated, even if you can't return this year. At the latest in January next year, he should be able to return to the field and become Li Wan's most loyal and reliable team leader!

Li Wan has no shortage of "Pippen".

He is also full of confidence that he will win the championship next season with his current squad.

I didn't know how to open my mouth yet, but now that the general manager of the team these two guys are working on has given so much, the problem has been perfectly solved.

"That's good news, you two, but you have to buy me a car, and I can't do what you promised me, and I'm saddened......"

Well......

By the way, Li Wan also knocked on a car.

No, it's two!

These two people signed a "billionaire contract" and readily agreed.

And it's all very generous.

One for Marasati and the other for Porsche.

Of course, compared to the contract they are about to sign, these two cars are simply not worth mentioning!

July 1 arrived as scheduled.

The Grizzlies also officially announced the signing of Mike Conley for 5 years and 153 million for the first time.

The news detonated the entire alliance.

It's the same as it was......

A lot of media outlets don't understand why Chris Wallace wants to give Mike Conley such a big contract.

Even if his average of 23 plus 7 per game is in the current No. 1 position in the league, it can be called.

Can......

Starting salary of 26 million......

This is the price that can only be obtained by "top supergiants"!

Mike Conley is certainly powerful, but his hard power has not reached the level of the league's supergiants!

At the moment, this offensive strengthened version of Mike Conley is being questioned.

Not to mention the doubts that Conley was subjected to when he got the contract.

Lewis said he understood the matter...... The contract is there, the numbers are also written by the management, and he is willing to give so much, I can't ...... Don't sign it, right?

Subsequently, news also came from Portland that Oden had completed his contract extension.

His four-year, $100 million contract, while it sounds exaggerated, isn't as big as Mike Conley has suffered in terms of outside buzz.

Scarcity is precious, and in this era of less and less "traditional insiders", Greg Auden can really be described as a "treasure".

The average of 22.3 points and 11.3 rebounds per game is also the league's top interior performance.

In addition, his mobility doomed him to be eliminated by the "small-ball era".

Not to mention that the alliance has just narrowed the "three-second zone", which is another big boost for him!

100 million in 4 years, he is fully capable of taking it.

In addition to renewing Oden's contract for 4 years and 100 million, the Trail Blazers also renewed Aldridge's contract for the same 4 years and 100 million.

In this way, the core lineup of the Trail Blazers for the next four years can be regarded as official.

They didn't follow the trend of the "small lineup" to play fast attack, they still insisted on using the "twin towers" as the core lineup.

In fact, they also have reasons to insist, if it weren't for Jeremy Lin's injury, they would not have fallen to the eighth place in the West, and it is likely to be the top four in the West.

As long as they are all healthy, they are the giants of the West, and Aldridge and Oden are both at the peak of their careers, so what is there to change?

Obviously, it is better to continue to persevere!

However, as soon as the free market opened, three "100 million yuan contracts" were exposed, and the madness of this summer exceeded many people's expectations.

It is said that a man surnamed Pi learned of this and complained to his friend sourly: These cubs just caught up with a good time, how like me at that time!

It's just that the friend of the man surnamed Pi should have heard him complain many times, and said mercilessly: "At that time, the boss and Michael persuaded you, you didn't sign a long-term contract, who can blame you?" ”

As soon as he said this, the man surnamed Pi couldn't hold back anymore and began to cry.

After crying, I was drunk again, and I didn't even know if my wife would come back at night.

After these three "100 million yuan contracts", the free market has temporarily returned to calm.

On July 1, Tim Duncan announced through the media that he was fighting for another year.

When Li Wan ate this melon, he was a little surprised.

Because the original Tim Duncan chose to retire early despite having one year left on his contract, the Spurs announced that they would cut him after he announced his retirement, so that he only had to pay a salary of 5.26 million, which was half less than what he originally had to pay.

Popovich used the five million he saved......

After renewing Leonard's contract, he signed Aldridge......

Therefore, this time, because Aldridge directly renewed his contract with the Trail Blazers, Popovich did not catch this "big fish", and he only needed to renew Leonard's contract in the summer, and there was not so much money to spend...... Tim Duncan chose to fight for another year?

Yes, is that so?

If that's the case......

Wow!

Popovich's PUA skills are simply amazing!

Fortunately, the "Stone Buddha" is a man......

If only he were a woman!

But if Popovich is a good gambler, he can't be deceived into taking photos and using them to pay off gambling debts?

When the news of Leonard's contract extension with the Spurs broke, it caused a lot of buzz in the league, and his contract is 5 years and $94.34 million, of which the 2019-2020 season is a player option.

Equal to 4 plus 1 contract.

The reason why this contract is hotly discussed is also very simple, that is, because of the amount of the contract.

As far as Popovich's picky search is concerned, he is willing to give a contract of 100 million, which is destined to be big news.

At the same time, this contract can be regarded as an official announcement, and Leonard will be the "absolute core" of the Spurs in the next 4~5 years.

The media couldn't help but think about the summer when Leonard just entered the draft. Popovich traded his protégé George Hill for the 15th pick in the first round from the Pacers, selecting the equally "shy" Skeleton Surprise.

At that time, many people did not understand Popovich's move, but now, they have to admit that ginger is still old and spicy!

George Hill's later performances with the Pacers proved that he couldn't grow into a qualified team leader. But Leonard has used his performances during this period to prove that he has what it takes.

Using a first-round pick 15th pick in exchange for the team's future, isn't it crazy, what is it?

A burst of praise was given to Popovich......

At the same time, the Cavaliers management has finally made a noise.

They signed Paul Pearce, who had just regained his free form with the New York Knicks, on a $3.5 million veteran contract.

"Li Wan, I'm coming to you again!"

There is a way that:

It's hard to get started!

When he defected to Li Wan for the first time, Paul Pierce was nervous and at a loss, for fear that something would be wrong and affect his status.

But in the last year of his contract with the New York Knicks, he learned that his market had become a "veteran market", so Pierce called his agent at the time: "Man, don't ask other teams, you can contact the general manager of the Cavaliers directly!" I'm going to the Cavaliers! ”

There was not a hint of hesitation, nor a hint of hesitation!

Griffin heard that Paul Pearce, who averaged 12.8 points and 4.5 rebounds per game last season, came to shoot, and he also decisively offered a "veteran contract" slightly above the market price.

This is......

Respect!

And just like that, Paul Pierce came to Leewan's team again.

As soon as the news came out, ESPN immediately shouted "Cavaliers Championship"!

Many media outlets have also shouted this slogan.

There is no way, just Li Wan's performance in the Eastern Conference Finals this year......

Any reinforcement of the Cavaliers now, then just a reinforcement of Nana, in the eyes of the outside world, will greatly increase the probability of Li Wan winning the championship.

He's really too strong now!

Any little help, for him, is a "tiger wings", a huge bonus.

Not to mention Paul Pearce's tank, there must still be gas!

This "buff" is too obvious!

A pair of "hawk eyes" in Orlando were watching a TV report about the news.

After reading it, "Hawkeye" showed a burst of thought, and then took out his mobile phone: "Dude, call them back, just say that we agreed, we can sell out, and contact the general manager of the Cavaliers for me, I want to join the Cavaliers......"

As soon as he finished making a phone call, an instant news suddenly appeared on the TV:

The Nets sent Wilson Chandler, JJ Redick, a 2016 first-round pick and a 2017 second-round pick, and traded Carmelo Anthony from the Clippers.

"Melon" is coming to New York!

After getting him, the Nets instantly formed the "Big Three" of "Chris Paul, Carmelo Anthony and Howard" and became the Eastern powerhouse again.

The Russian owner of the Nets was ecstatic, after waiting for so many years, he finally waited for the "super team"!

As for Carmelo Anthony, he had already arrived in New York on a special plane at this time.

Before getting off the plane, he took a deep breath and his eyes were full of anticipation:

East, I'm coming!

And also......

Wait, everyone!

Soon, you will know how much I suppressed Li Wan!

With me here, this guy doesn't want to break through to the east anymore!

There's a reason why Anthony is so confident.

First, it is naturally the number of victories he has won against Li Wan in the past four or five years; Second, Li Wan won the "four consecutive championships" in New York, and immediately lost after leaving New York, which shows that the "dog luck" is no longer on him, since the "dog luck" is not on him, it is naturally on the body of the city of New York.

The Knicks are currently in a barren land, although he is confident that he can be reborn with the Knicks, he has more important things to do, that is, "sniping Li Wan"!

In this case, it is natural to choose a stronger Nets team!

Right now, the time and place are favorable, Li Wan ...... After so many years of occupying the "throne" that does not belong to you, it's time to hand it over!

"Hey, man, I'm already in New York, I've ordered the booth, I'll send you the address later, don't worry, I'm sure you'll have a good time, Dwight!"

Well......

In order for his teammates to share his ideas, Carmelo Anthony also developed a well-thought-out "teammate strategy plan" with the help of his wife Lala.

All......

It's all about defeating Li Wan!

"Hey, Lee, I'm sorry to call you so late, but ...... It's really, really important, you know? Joe Johnson's agent just called me and they have decided to join the Cleveland Cavaliers after negotiating a sale with the Magic......

“！！！”

Li Wan was already asleep, but was woken up by Griffin's phone, and still complained in his heart:

You'd better have something!

Now when he heard what Griffin told him, he immediately sat up involuntarily.

Even more excited than when I heard that Paul Pearce had joined!

And not just because Joe Johnson is younger than Paul Pearce.

Also because Joe Johnson is a pure No. 2.

What the Cavaliers are missing now is the No. 2 spot.

After the "Jets" announced their retirement, the current No. 2 positions on the team are only Wade and Cook......

At present, the league is really lacking in the number two position!

Probably for this reason, even though Dion Waiters played poorly in his first year of trading to the Thunder, Thunder management still signed him a contract extension this summer.

Although the money is not much, when converted, it is only 8 million dollars per year.

But here's the problem......

Dion Vitesse's performance, where can it be worth 8 million?

4 million stadium presence can't even be played!

In the past two days, Griffin has been so anxious that his hair has bald, but he didn't expect that at this critical moment, another warrior took the initiative to vote.

He suddenly understood what Donnie Walsh once said to him: "Don't have too much pressure, as long as you honestly build a team around Li Wan and eliminate the unstable factors of the team, you will find that in the team with Li Wan, it is actually a very easy thing to reinforce!" ”

At the time, he didn't understand it, but now......

He's so understanding!

These veterans are one after another, taking the initiative to vote, and they don't have to worry about anything at all, if this is not easy, then there is really no easy transaction.

Li Wan ...... "Forever Dripping God"!

In this way, the gap in the second and third positions will be filled at once, and when Chris Bosh comes back, this will be like an "invincible battleship"!

Griffin felt that the summer reinforcement had already ended before it had even begun.

He could even start working on reinforcements for next season!

On July 18, Joe Johnson and his agent, after several days of arguing, finally agreed to a buyout fee of 60% of the Magic's salary.

When this buyout was just reached, it attracted the attention of countless teams.

The general managers of at least seven teams have handed Joe Johnson an olive branch.

In the current shortage of the No. 2 position, a veteran like Joe Johnson, who has experience and the ability to fight, is really popular.

Especially......

Right now, he's just been bought out!

10 million Joe Johnson is too expensive.

But if it's about 780,000 to a million Joe Johnson, that's too fragrant!

It's definitely a rating S plus reinforcement.

Therefore, most of the big men, including the Warriors, have handed Joe Johnson a new contract.

But in the end, Joe Johnson joined the Cavaliers with a base salary of 780,000 after the clarification period according to the agreement with Griffin!

At this time, it has been less than 10 days since Paul Pierce joined the Cavaliers with a base salary, and now Joe Johnson has taken the initiative to join with a base salary......

Barkley was the first to stand up, and he attributed this to Li Wan's personal influence: "All players who aspire to win a championship will choose to join the Cavaliers, although they are not the champions this summer, and they have not even made it to the finals, but everyone knows that when the new season resumes, the team with the most hope of winning the championship is definitely Li Wan's team!" ”

"The Bleachers" interprets this similarly to Barkley: "This means that in the eyes of these veterans, Li Wan is the person who is most likely to win the championship in the new season, they didn't say it, they showed it through practical actions!" ”

The so-called "mouth is straight", the body's reaction is the biggest truth......

This caused Green's displeasure: "They quickly learned that it was a mistake [to join the Cavaliers], that we were the champions, that we were going to be stronger, that they would regret it, and we'll see, let's see what happens next!" I can't wait for the new season to come sooner! ”

Without waiting for Li Wan to respond to his provocation, many media and players, especially fans on the Internet, have already responded for Li Wan:

"Shut your mouth, Green, you don't have the qualifications to provoke Li Wan yet!"

"If you win a championship, you think you have such capital, then I have to tell you, you are still far away!"

"In this alliance, you can challenge Li Wan, but you can't provoke Li Wan so much! Winning a championship is only a temporary success, and it will be too late for you and your team to win the 'four consecutive championships'! ”

……

And in the voting session of the latest issue of the New York Times, "Dream Chaser" Green was successfully elected the most hated player in the NBA!

This made him even more annoyed, and he spoke more and more indiscriminately: "It's not a big deal, it's not the first time I've been underestimated, in fact, Li Wan is not qualified to endorse Plan B, I am the best spokesperson for Plan B!" ”

Now, Green's situation is even more dangerous......

The media wanted to interview Li Wan and wanted to know his opinion on this matter.

It's just that......

Taryn replied in unison: "Li Wan is enjoying his vacation, plus one thing that is well known, he just had the first child in his life, he really doesn't want to be disturbed!" ”

In fact, Li Wan did not dislike Green because of this.

In fact, it's been a long time since he became the first person in the NBA to make such a face......

The players of this era are still in the 00s compared to the 90s, and they are really "good babies".

It has to be a person with a bad brain like Green who dares to stand up and taunt his face!

Of course, he can't be ridiculed before the game like someone later, and he is still doing the "wrong peak travel" there.

He can't wait for the new season to come soon, preferably with the Warriors in the first game, and then smash a wave in Green's face.

Let him know what it means to be "someone you can't mess with"!

It's just that until then, he really doesn't need to choke back publicly.

This only gave Green more heat......

No need!

After signing Joe Johnson, the Cavaliers' roster for the new season is basically taking shape:

"No. 1 position: Li Wan, Curry Jr.;

No. 2: Wade, Joe Johnson, Cook;

No. 3: Wiggins, Pierce;

Four: Chris Bosh, Larry Nance Jr.;

No. 5: Adams, Kwame Brown, Cody Zeller; ”

There are still 3 places left in the 15-man squad.

It is worth mentioning that the salaries of these 12 people are:

Lee Wan 20.43 million, Curry Jr. 780,000, Wade 15 million, Joe Johnson 780,000, Cook 2 million, Wiggins 5.76 million, Pierce 3.5 million, Chris Bosh 20 million, Larry Nance Jr. 1.28 million, Adams 2.28 million, Kwame Brown 5 million, Cody Zeller 4.2 million......

Combined, it is less than 82 million dollars.

You know, this year's salary cap is as high as 73 million!

It is equivalent to saying that the Cavaliers' lineup has just touched the luxury tax line!

Can you imagine a lineup with Leewan, Wade, Joe Johnson, Pierce, and Bosh that doesn't even need 100 million?

Even if Pierce and Joe Johnson are worthless this season, their actual price can easily exceed 8 million.

All this ......

It's all based on Li Wan's personal charm!

However, Griffin still has two things to do this summer, one is to deal with TT's expiring contract, and the other is that Vallejo's contract has expired, and he is considering whether to renew it.

Compared to Vallejo, Griffin is more concerned about keeping TT.

After all, Chris Bosh was the team's No. 4 starter after the season was reimbursed last season, and during this time, he has grown rapidly, and although he has been adjusted in the Eastern Conference Finals, he has no problem averaging 7 points and 7 rebounds per game!

This kind of performance is enough for him to serve as the Cavaliers' bench No. 4 in the new season.

But because in this year's draft, they just acquired Larry Nance Jr., a rookie with a similar function to the "Eight Wise Kings", Griffin is not willing to renew the "Eight Wise Kings" with too high a salary contract.

It was also this entanglement that made Griffin not know how to bid, so he simply waited for other teams to offer. When the time comes, he will decide whether to follow or not, depending on the situation.

What he didn't expect was that before he could make a move, Rich Paul, the agent of the "Eight Sages", who later blackmailed LeBron to make the whole league, took the initiative to call Griffin and asked for a 5-year contract of 60 million.

This made Griffin a little uncomfortable.

What kind of data do you dare to ask for such a big contract......

However, he did not make a decision on his own, but communicated with Li Wan first.

After Li Wan learned of Rich Paul's offer, he was not used to it: "Let's try to sign it first, it really doesn't work, so I will trade him!" ”

Griffin understood what Li Wan meant:

Sign before you change!

So, he decisively quoted the highest price he could give: 32 million for 4 years!

If he can't sign Thompson at this price, then Griffin will sign him for a higher price and trade him.

As for how to ensure that Thompson is signed on a high-priced contract, he still sells at a good price......

Griffin also has a well-thought-out plan!

Soon, Rich Paul responded: "Man, you probably don't know what Tristan is going on right now, you should check it out...... You'll find out! ”

Griffin didn't say anything in the face of his words, but hung up the phone directly and read a few news articles about Thompson on the Internet. I found that there was significantly more news about him.

Most of them are similar news, what "a certain team's senior management revealed that it would take 5 years and 70 million to grab Thompson", and what "the general manager of a certain team decided to make a 4-year 60 million offer contract with the Cavaliers to grab Thompson"......

Without exception, it's all unconfirmed gossip!

Who stirred up the news, there is no doubt that it must be Rich Paul.

But here's the problem......

Some stupid general manager, he really believes it!

If he offers 32 million for 4 years to Thompson, the general managers of other teams will definitely follow, and it will be him who will be difficult to ride the tiger at that time.

But if he gives the price too high......

Didn't Thompson just smash it in his hands?

By that time, it had been as Rich Paul had wished!

Griffin had to admit that Rich Paul's moves, although simple and crude, even a little rudimentary, did work.

After determining that he could not renew Thompson's contract for 4 years and 32 million, Griffin decisively changed his mind.

He's going to try to trade Thompson to get a more cost-effective chip for the Cavaliers!

This has to talk about the plan he has prepared......

He was going to ask the general managers from his sources if they were willing to follow up on the limit price of Thompson's contract, and then sign him with a contract that was not so extreme, maybe three or four million cheaper, and then sell him......

Don't look at it just a few million cheaper, but this is cheap, some general managers are really greedy!

This will not let Thompson go for nothing, but also allow Thompson to get the smallest contract possible!

Why, count me?

I'll show you what a special calculation is!

As things stand, the Lakers are definitely going to make the playoffs. But also, one of the biggest hits in the league now is to watch LeBron meet Jordan, if he can't make the playoffs for two consecutive years, I'm afraid this topic will end before it starts.

However, the current situation is that even if LeBron travels at a staggered peak, he is afraid that he will not be able to keep his data when facing some strong teams. So I'm already looking forward to the playoffs!

Of course, if the league enters the playoffs and still blows it like this, then I can only say one thing: the league's dad is not a dad, Nike's dad is a big dad!
