Chapter 339: It's LeBron James' Desperate Choice
After the draft, Griffin quickly went into "battle mode."
Although the absolute core "trio" of the Cavaliers, Leewan, Chris Bosh and Wiggins are all under contract, there is no contract expiration.
But there are some changes to the other players.
The first is Seth Curry's contract extension.
Seth Curry, who received a two-year salary with the Cavaliers, also stood up last year, as a bench player for Leewan, he averaged 16.4 minutes per game in the regular season, averaging 6.6 points and 1.4 assists per game;
In the playoffs, because of the increase in Li Wan's playing time, his average playing time fell below 10 minutes per game, and his statistics were only 4.3 points and 0.3 assists.
It can be said that in addition to the scoring end, it can also contribute some strength, and there is no performance in other aspects.
However, even if it is just that, he is unlikely to renew his contract with a base salary of 6.6 points per game.
Even if Griffin wanted to, he was afraid that the general managers of those teams on the free market would not agree.
Tearing down this kind of thing, they are too willing to do it!
For this reason, Griffin doesn't plan to make an offer right away, he plans to look at the situation first, see what the outside world is saying about Seth Curry, and then make plans.
If a team offers Seth Curry too high, he probably won't follow up.
His main goal is to keep Wade, Joe Johnson, and Paul Pearce, and as long as this guy is around, the Explorers will still be one of the best teams in the league this season.
Forget it, don't be modest, as long as these old guys continue to stay on this team, then no matter what happens in this league, the Explorers will definitely complete the defense of the title.
If you really win the championship......
This is history!
In the history of the NBA, no team has won the championship in the first year of relocation.
It's just that this part of his work has just begun, and he has encountered a slap in the face.
Paul Pierce confessed to him through his agent:
"Truth" has decided to retire, and they are in communication with the Celtics to sign a one-day contract that will allow Paul Pierce to "return to his roots" as a Green Army and retire wearing a "Green Army" shirt.
The "three olds" are destined to lose one old.
Griffin then contacted Joe Johnson.
The latter team readily said "we can stay": "But man, we can't sign that little more with a base salary!" β
Last season, Joe Johnson received two salaries, although this is the base salary, but the Magic team can still get a 10 million annual salary.
For the first championship of his career, a slight loss of one or two million, a "billionaire" like Joe Johnson is acceptable, but now that he has won the championship, he will definitely not be able to continue to get a base salary for it.
At his age, it is more practical for him to get the highest contract now, and to be able to mix in this league for an extra year......
Griffin had no choice but to put his negotiations on hold.
Wait for the free market to open and see how others react before deciding whether to follow up with the offer contract.
Li Wan signed a 3-plus-1 contract with the Cavaliers, and in fact, he has the right to jump out of the contract after next season.
In the case of the alliance's 100 million yuan contract flying all over the sky, it is certain that Li Wan jumped out of the current "more than 20 million small contract". Even when the time comes, they have to cooperate with Li Wan's "three requests and three resignations".
There is no way, this is Li Wan's status in the rivers and lakes.
Gilbert as the boss and Griffin as the boss's talker must have this awareness!
At that time, with Li Wan's years in this league, it is a sure thing to sign a contract with a starting salary of more than 30 million.
After Li Wan signed a new contract, Wiggins was in contract year again......
So from now on, Griffin has to save some money for his boss.
It's not like the general manager of the Rockets, who saves money by being stingy to renew the contract.
It's that money has to be spent where it goes.
Not to mention anything else, let's just say that the Explorers just signed two new players this summer, and from the long-term perspective of the team, they must be given enough playing time to realize their potential.
As a result, Joe Johnson has to shrink their playing time......
You can't buy them ten or twenty minutes of playing time just to spend seven or eight million, right?
This is a double waste of financial resources and resources!
So ......
The "three olds" have one Dwyane Wade left.
After the setbacks of Paul Pierce and Joe Johnson, Griffin clearly lost the self-confidence he had at the beginning, and he was careful to say hello after talking to Wade on the phone.
Wade's reaction was beyond his expectations, and he happily agreed that he would consider renewing his contract with the Cavaliers first...... He's had such a good time these days. Winning the championship gave him a beautiful comeback.
The big stone in Griffin's heart settled slightly, and after making an appointment with Wade to discuss the contract extension in detail, he hung up the phone.
And the next second he hung up the phone, Wade's mobile phone was not thrown on the coffee table on the side, and he heard the mobile phone ring again:
"Daddy, your son called you again......"
Flipping it open, Wade's pupils vibrated slightly, it was a name he was so familiar that he couldn't be more familiar:
Pat Riley!
Griffin is busy with a contract extension, and Pat Riley, who is far away in Miami Beach, is also running around for the offseason, and he can't answer all kinds of calls.
He and LeBron James' team have reached a preliminary agreement:
Last season would be their last season together.
After reaching that agreement, they met again to talk about this summer's trade.
The result was unpleasant.
LeBron James told his team that he would give Pat Riley a list and that he hoped he could go to these next homes of his choice, and for Pat Riley, this was naturally a request that harmed the team's interests.
He didn't say yes, just said: "I'll do my best to send LeBron to a team that suits him!" β
But alas, Rich Paul became very tough at this time: "We just want to go to the team we want!" β
The so-called "more than half a sentence without speculation", the two sides were deadlocked on this point of view for more than half an hour, and finally "dog eats dog, chicken feathers" and broke up unhappily.
Pat Riley's advantage is that LeBron James is still under contract, and the disadvantage is that LeBron James has a trade veto in his contract;
And LeBron James's strengths and weaknesses are the same, he has the right to veto trades, but he is under contract, and this contract has two years to end.
Amazing......
After that conversation, the two sides kept in touch by phone and text.
It's a pity that neither side has the idea of taking a step back.
Pat Riley didn't wait during this time, but took the initiative and called a lot of general managers.
What disappointed him a little was ......
LeBron James' value is no longer what he expected.
It's no wonder that although LeBron James entered the league at the age of 18, before he knew it, this was already the 13th season of his career...... After such a long career, LeBron James is also 31 years old!
At this age, it's really not young.
Plus he has changed his lineup so far.
The stars of the partners are from the beginning of the big Z, Mo Williams, to Chris Bosh, Wade, and now Irving, Love, Big Z and Mo Williams may not be the top, but it is also at that stage, the league's second-rate to first-class players, Chris Bosh and Wade have nothing to say, the absolute top players in the league, Kevin Love was also a player in the best team before joining the Heat, and Irving is also the representative player of the new generation......
With these teams failing to win the championship, you say, if you take LeBron James as the core and want to win the championship in the "Li Wan era", what price do you have to pay?
Since the price of winning the championship with him as the core is so big, which team do you think will pay a lot of money to trade him?
The current highest-priced offer is the Nets' Billie King, who is willing to trade Chris Paul and next year's first-round pick for LeBron James.
It's worth mentioning that the Nets are also on the list of favorites of LeBron's team.
In addition to this team, LeBron James' favorite teams include the Warriors, Hornets, and the Trail Blazers and Bulls......
From this list of LeBron's team, you can see how desperate this guy wants to win the championship.
It's got to the point where it's completely desperate......
Also taking LeBron James to ask around the whole outside, Pat Riley changed his mind and took the initiative to call Rich Paul: "Man, I can promise to send LeBron to his favorite team, but ...... There's one thing you have to promise me......"
Neither did Rich Paul say yes directly, but asked Pat Riley to tell the story first.
"That's right, man, you can't show that you want to go during this time, I have to be responsible for the Heat, I have to maximize my value......"
Pat Riley said it heartily.
Rich-Paul listened to this, was silent for a moment, and agreed.
After LeBron James found out about this, he was a little anxious: "What if this guy opens his mouth directly?" β
When the time comes, will I go to the new team to do poverty alleviation?
Rich Paul told him not to rush: "Man, I'll keep up with the whole situation, and if Pat Riley is found to have too much appetite, I'll arrange for the media to leak the news that we're leaving...... In the age of media, we have many methods! β
When LeBron heard this, he was also relieved.
His expression was very serious.
If it's not an accident, he'll keep that expression until his next stop is finalized.
No way......
The next stop will most likely be his last chance, and if he makes another mistake this time, he really won't have a chance to turn over!
So O God!
I've been tossed for so long, it's time for me to wear my crown, right?
The dark tide is surging, and the free market officially opens on July 1.
The first to do it was the Spurs, who signed Pau Gasol, who was out of contract with the Bulls for two years and $24 million.
"Stone Buddha" has just retired, and "sister-in-law" has joined, and it is clear that this is used to fill the vacancy of Tim Duncan.
Then the Trail Blazers announced the signing of 4-year, 72 million to wing Englishman Ruel Deng, who also had an expired contract with the Bulls.
Portland formed a "starting five" lineup of Deron Williams at No. 1, C.J. McClum at No. 2, Ruel Deng at No. 3, Aldridge at No. 4, and Greg Oden at No. 5!
After the deal was made, Portland fans are excited to see the new season coming.
They believe that this lineup of the Portland Trail Blazers can definitely make them go one step further in the new season.
Portland fans are so excited, but for Chicago Bulls fans, it's a series of blows.
Worse is yet to come......
Letting Paul Gasol and Ruel Deng go, the Bulls management didn't make any next move, they just signed Jimmy Butler to a five-year contract extension worth $95 million.
Obviously, the Bulls in the new season will become a "backcourt dual-core drive".
Just the two of them, can they really continue to occupy the commanding heights in the east?
Many media outlets are also questioning the Bulls management's choice:
Although last year's Bulls fell directly in the second round of the playoffs, their record is still second in the East!
Is it really necessary to tear it down and rebuild it?
The good news is that the two strong reinforcements that the Bulls let go of have both joined teams in the West, and they have not let other giants in the East take advantage of it.
At the same time that the Bulls' "Five Tigers" became history, the Hawks, who created the miracle of the "Civilian Five Tigers" in the previous two seasons, also received big changes.
Al Horford, who has played for the Hawks since he entered the league, officially announced that he will join the Celtics for 4 years and 113 million.
As the tactical core of the Hawks' offensive and defensive ends, his departure also means that the Hawks, who have only been on the rise for two years, have fallen rapidly and entered a rebuilding period again.
And it can be seen from the Hawks' next trade of Jeff Teague to the Pacers that they do intend to give up next season and enter a rebuild.
On the first day of free agency, the Eastern Conference dismantled the power of the past two seasons, and the Cavaliers relocated from Cleveland to Columbus and changed their name.
ESPN bluntly said: "The pattern of the East in the new season will undergo earth-shaking changes!" β
At the same time as these two big trades, Griffin quickly finalized the rookie contract with Sabonis Jr. and Malcolm Brogdon, the former is 13.26 million for 4 years, and the latter is 5.34 million for 4 years, of which, Sabonis Jr.'s contract is a 3-plus-1 contract, fully guaranteed for the first three years, and the team option for the final year, while Brogdon's contract is a 2-plus-2 contract, fully guaranteed for the first two years, and a team option for the last two years.
After finalizing the contracts of the two newcomers, Griffin ran into trouble with the contract extension.
First of all, Paul Pierce officially signed a new contract with the Celtics for 1 day, and is about to announce his retirement through his own team; Then there's Joe Johnson, who received a three-year, $20 million offer from the Trail Blazers.
After the owner of the Trail Blazers threw 200 million last year, on the first day of the free market this year, he threw another 100 million!
I feel that Lao Wang's little goal is not even a fart in his eyes......
Griffin could only watch as the "Eagle King" left Portland.
The "three olds" are still "one old" in the blink of an eye.
However, thinking of Wade's enthusiasm when he answered the phone at that time, Griffin's heart was a little more determined, and he called Wade at that time.
Outcome......
"I'm sorry, man...... I might have to go back to Miami! β
Wade's words came out of the microphone, and Griffin immediately thought he had misheard: "What, what? β
"Man, I've got to go back to Miami, Pat said he needs me, without him there wouldn't be today's 'Flash', I have to go back!" There was sincerity in Wade's tone.
Griffin was finally sure he had heard correctly.
There were only two words left in his heart:
Outrageous!
Did the brain of this "Flash" really let the "Lightning" split?
Or did you go out too fast and hit the door?
Can I go back?
"Dude, how much did he give you?" Griffin asked.
He also wanted to fight for it.
The "second elder" is gone, and the money in his hand will be rich, even if it is 8 million a year, Griffin is willing to give.
Based on his performances on the bench last season, the price is definitely worth ......
But what Griffin didn't expect was that Wade refused, saying: "It's not a matter of money, the current situation of the Heat team needs someone to go back and stabilize the morale of the army!" β
This person......
"I don't think there's anyone else else who can do it but you, because you're the eternal soul of this Heat! Come back, Dwyan, Miami is your forever home! β
It was late at night when Pat Riley called, and when he said these words in a magnetic voice, Wade burst into tears, and without the slightest resistance, he agreed.
I've been packing my bags for the past two days.
Griffin eventually hung up the phone reluctantly.
After sitting for about five minutes, he was full of complaints in his heart, and finally called Li Wan.
No, it's really uncomfortable for him not to complain!
After Li Wan learned about this, he was not surprised, it had happened originally; Second, Wade is really a bit "stupid" to Pat Riley. I guess I want to be bound to the Heat forever.
Also, for a person like Wade, who has lived in Miami from 03 to 14 and 11 years, let him change places coldly, even if he proves himself, it is estimated that deep down he will still not be used to it.
Let him go......
It's just that in this way, the "three elders" are all lost, not to mention the rest, the rotation of the second and third positions of the Cavaliers has become a big problem.
Li Wan is not worried, there must be a road before the car reaches the mountain, and the boat will naturally go straight to the bridge.
This veteran who "hugs his thighs", when is there not one or two?
In June this year, the Cavaliers swept the Warriors with a score of 4-1, and he averaged 39 points per game......
No, on July 2, news came from Griffin's side that Caron Butler offered himself to join the Cavaliers with a base salary.
Of course, at this time, Caron Butler's strength is not even 1/10 of his peak, and signing him will definitely not be able to guarantee the wings, at most he is a "cheerleader".
But Griffin signed anyway.
Signed this one......
There will be the next one!
And Caron Butler's arrival made him a little more confident in the summer reinforcement, and he believes that there will definitely be strong veterans to join!
On July 8, Li Wan and Taylor left for China.
Li Wan, who was waiting to board the plane in the waiting room, suddenly received a call from Griffin.
After waiting for so many days, there is finally another veteran who wants to join with a base salary.
This name Li Wan is quite unexpected.
It's none other than Leandro Barbossa, the former "Brazilian Lightning".
Li Wan faced him in the first regular season game of his career.
It was also in the fight with him that he became famous.
Li Wan remembered that Barbossa had just won the first "Best Sixth Man" trophy in his career that season, but he didn't expect that he would become a veteran now!
also took the initiative to run Columbus to hug his "thigh".
However, it should be said or not, this is indeed a good bench combat power, although the original Barbosa left the NBA after 15~16 seasons, but he later went to the Brazilian league, and the overall competitive state is still good.
At least it's a lot better than a guy like Caron Butler...... You know, he averaged 6.4 points per game last season!
Being a substitute number two is definitely enough.
In particular, he is worth 760,000 ......
It's even more cost-effective!
Of course, Barbosa alone is certainly not enough to make up for the loss of the departure of the "three elders".
So Griffin has been thinking about it, or try to trade a swingman in the first and second positions.
The main reason is that none of the "three olds" has renewed their contracts, and the salary space in his hands is quite optimistic.
After other teams offered Seth Curry a two-year, $6 million contract, Griffin finally made up his mind to trade a backcourt swingman who was in his prime of play.
In a week's time, he also successfully locked on the target. βGeorge Hill, Popovich's erstwhile protΓ©gΓ©.
Pacers management has decided to trade Jeff Teague after trading him.
The annual salary for the new season is not high, only 8 million......
Last season, George Hill averaged 12.5 points, 4 rebounds and 3.5 assists per game with the Pacers, which is definitely not high as 8 million.
Moreover, it belongs to the standard "dual-energy position", which can not only fill the vacancy of the first position, but also fill the vacancy of the second position.
With a first-round pick for next year, plus a second-round pick the following year, and Seth Curry, who just signed a contract extension, Griffin brought George Hill to the Explorers through a three-way trade.
The lineup for the new season has a preliminary prototype:
"No. 1: Levan Lee, George Hill;
No. 2: Brugdon, Barbosa, Caron Butler;
No. 3: Wiggins;
No. 4: Chris Bosh, Sabonis Jr.;
No. 5: Adams, Kwame Brown; β
At present, there are still 5 vacancies in the list of 15 people.
The next thing Griffin has to do is patch it up and piece the whole lineup together.
At this time, Li Wan and Taylor had also returned to China.
The family has already prepared the things to be prepared for the "first birthday banquet".
It's just that Li Wan is still very busy.
The seven aunts and eight aunts surrounded him, and all kinds of problems made him sweat.
It turns out that no matter how successful you are, you can't handle the old ladies at home.
Especially when some people make very ungodly requests, and they still put on a face of "It's very simple for you, we are relatives", it is even more helpless.
Although Li Wan didn't turn his face directly, the next thing to entertain his relatives was left to his parents, and he asked Li Zi to temporarily pick up two businesses for him, and he ran outside until the day of the "first birthday banquet" before coming back.
Of course, it will have to be with Taylor.
Li Wan registered "Little Li Wan" by the way, and looked at his name on the "Little Li Wan" household registration book: Li Xiaolu, Li Wan and Taylor looked at each other and smiled.
On the day of the "first birthday banquet", there is also a "catch" link prepared for the path.
Although Li Wan didn't think about letting his son play basketball.
But he couldn't help but smile as he watched him go straight to basketball......
Cheng, it's my son!
It's just that the choice of "Little Li Wan" is not over, he played with the basketball for a while, and then turned his head to grab the microphone twice. Li Wan couldn't laugh or cry at this scene.
It's quite greedy.
Cheng, indeed my son!
At the end of the "first birthday" of "Little Li Wan", Li Wan lost "Little Li Wan" to Li's father and Li Ma, and took Taylor to play well in China for two laps. It wasn't until July 28 that he returned to Columbus.
At this time, it has been almost a month since the free market opened, and the news is no longer as dense as it was at the beginning.
However, during the time that Li Wan returned to China, Griffin made another wave of trades: he signed Li Wan's former teammate Vince Carter from the free market for a price of 7.5 million for 2 years!
At that time, after following Li Wan to win the championship in the Knicks, he said that the world is so big, and the "demigod" I want to see is 39 years old after the end of the season just now!
But as the league's "longest-spanning league evergreen" in the future, it is not an exaggeration to say that Vince Carter's career has just begun.
He will not announce his retirement until 2020.
It's been 4 years now.
The most important thing is that he is not like Haslem or Iguodala later, who is obviously completely unable to play and is still sitting on the team's bench.
Even in the final season of his career, he still averaged 5 points in 14.5 minutes per game.
In the upcoming 16~17 season, he can play an average of 24.5 minutes per game and score 8 points!
It's a fantastic addition for the Cavaliers, who are missing a No. 3 bench.
When Li Wan knew the news, he took out his mobile phone and found that Vince Carter had called him, but he used another mobile phone in China, and only Griffin knew about this number, and Li Wan was also afraid that he had something urgent and couldn't find himself, so he told him.
He immediately called Vince Carter, and the call was quickly connected.
"Man, welcome to Columbus, we're teammates again for the new season!"
After this deal, Griffin also breathed a heavy sigh of relief.
George Hill plus Vince Carter plus Barbosa, the three guys are still a little bit behind Wade, Paul Pierce and Joe Johnson.
But......
Don't forget, there are two more newcomers to the Cavaliers!
He doesn't expect both newcomers to play immediately, as long as one of them can play well, then the loss of the "three elders" leaving can be completely offset.
It's just that......
How can none of them be renewed?
Even though it had been so many days, Griffin still felt outrageous.
At that time, he still thought that he could leave at least one!
In fact, it is not only he who feels outrageous, but also the outside media.
Especially when the news of Dwyane Wade's departure from the Explorers broke, they thought it was April Fool's Day instead of July......
The thing that strikes them the most outrageous is......
You said you were leaving the Cavaliers, but what the hell is it to go back to the Heat?
And the grapevine has been circulating, Griffin tried to match a higher contract, but Wade still went back and signed a 3-year, 15 million contract without hesitation......
15 million in 3 years, which is equivalent to 5 million in 1 year......
Not to mention anything else, just for the "Sixth Man of the Season" award that Wade won last season, Pat Riley is already suspected of sending Hanako out of such a contract......
But Wade, he really signed it!
What kind of ecstasy soup did you drink?
Wade is also bitter in his heart.
At that time, he packed his luggage from Columbus, and returned to the Heat team with a roar, and when he got off the plane at the airport, he also took a deep breath and muttered in his heart:
I feel like I'm back!
As a result, I didn't expect that when I arrived at the American Airlines Arena, Pat Riley spread out such a contract in front of him.
He was about to have a seizure, but Pat Riley said again: "Dwyan, I know this contract is unfair to you, but...... The Heat need you, Miami needs you, you ...... Sign it! β
And then ......
By the time he had refreshed his mind, Pat Riley had already opened the office door and let him out, without even delivering.
Damn!
Shit like a guy!
I shouldn't have come back!
Wade scolded and got into his car, but still carefully put the contract away.
Just like all kinds of incomprehension from the outside world at this moment, his final choice was to secretly say in his heart:
You know a ball, it's because I love this land so much!
Well......
Resolutely refusing to admit that he was KTVIZED by that old thing of Pat Riley!
In August, Li Wan was pushed to the forefront in China.
Because......
The Olympics are here!
The Chinese men's basketball team faced the American Dream Team in the first game, and was beaten with a score of 62-119, losing by 57 points!
This defeat made some fans break their defenses, and they ran to Li Wan's Weibo to attack Li Wan, why didn't he represent the national team in this Olympics:
"If you played, would we lose so badly?"
"Don't you know how much power you have means how much responsibility you have?"
"Is it true that there is no patriotism at all? I just don't have the ability, otherwise I wouldn't be as selfish as you! β
"To be honest, I'm really a little disappointed with you this time!"
β¦β¦
However, these remarks were soon echoed by the "Wan Jiajun":
"I remember before the Olympics began, didn't some people say that without Li Wan, they could still achieve good results?"
"Brother Wan has explained very clearly, he wants to give his son a birthday drink, and wants to take this opportunity to get together with his family, is this also wrong?"
"After so many years of the Chinese men's basketball team, can it still only rely on one Li Wan? He's also 28 years old, how many years can he play? β
β¦β¦
Li Wan was not surprised by this situation.
His counterattack was also very simple, and he took a photo of one gold medal and one silver medal he won in the Olympics and posted it on Weibo. At the same time:
In all conscience!
After that, I stopped paying attention to these things.
Instead, he devoted himself to special training.
This year, because the team is going to relocate and "Xiao Li Wan" wants to put "yearning wine", he has not carried out systematic training, and now that he is finally idle, he naturally has to devote himself to the development of his own ability.
Don't forget, he still has a lot of untapped potential!
Especially in terms of three-point shooting, he has just reached 90 with a potential value of 100......
He's aiming to reach 92 points this summer, so with the addition of the "I'm a System Player" badge, his three-point shooting can reach supergiant level.
This is a level that can be achieved under normal conditions.
If it is under the bonus of the "Nerve Knife" badge, it will be even more perverted.
It is estimated that Stephen Curry has come to feel it, and that's it......
In about a week, the Chinese men's basketball team played all the group stages, 0-5, and lost more than 30 points per game.
At this time, even those "Li Hei" couldn't care less about continuing to complain that Li Wan didn't participate.
The eyes of all domestic fans are focused on these players of the Chinese men's basketball team. ββIn terms of squad composition, this year's Chinese men's basketball team is not much different from the 12-year-old Chinese men's basketball team.
If you want to say that the biggest change may be the lack of Li Wan in this team.
But no one expected that just one Li Wan was absent, and the difference was so big!
Do you know that they won the silver medal in the last Olympics?
And now, they are hard to find in the group stage.
The entry of "understanding Li Wan" quickly rushed to the first place in the hot search on Weibo.
A large number of Li Wan's remarks about the Chinese men's basketball team in the past have been revealed, especially the sentence that Li Wan has always been on his lips, "The Chinese men's basketball team can't rely on just one person, there is me after Da Yao, who can there be after me?" β
They finally understood Li Wan's concerns.
Dare to love the current strength of the Chinese men's basketball team, just because of Li Wan's illusory bubble?
"It's really hard for me to imagine how we won the silver medal in the last Olympics!"
"The gold content of Li Wan's 2012 Olympic Games is still rising!"
"Seriously, Brother Wan won't participate in the national team in the future, tearing off this fig leaf is the best help for the Chinese men's basketball team!"
β¦β¦
Li Wan's reputation has changed dramatically.
Only this time, Li Wan didn't speak again, he continued to focus on his special training, and at the same time called Spike Lee: "Man, I'm about to finish my special training, how are you preparing over there?" β
Spike-Lee was so anxious that he almost cried when he heard Li Wan's words: "Lee, do you know how long I've been waiting for this day?" It's been ready for a long time, man, let's get started! β
In this way, Li Wan and Taylor rushed to the Spike-Lee crew, and "Li Wan 2" officially started filming!
At the same time, the Olympic men's basketball competition was also over, and on the final stage, the American Dream Team defeated their opponents and won the Olympic gold medal for the second consecutive year.
Looking at the gold medal that Miss Manners gave herself on her chest, LeBron James cried with joy.
It's really wonderful to win the championship!
He looked up at the "golden rain" all over the court again, if this happened in the NBA Finals, it would be spicy!
Win the championship, win the championship, I have to win the championship on the NBA stage......
When the time comes, LeBron will taste it carefully, what is the difference between this and winning the championship on the Olympic stage!
On August 25th, "Li Wan 2" officially started filming, and the various members of the American "Dream Team" also returned to the United States.
The Golden State Warriors sent Bogut, Barnes, and a 2017 first-round pick and a 2018 second-round pick to get LeBron James from the Miami Heat!
The "Little Emperor" joined Jinzhou......
When the news broke, the whole league was shaken.
No one expected that at the end of the offseason, such a big news came out of the league!
Originally, they thought that the only big move this season might be Kevin Durant. - As of August 25, Kevin Durant still has not renewed his contract with the Thunder in advance, nor has he announced that he will jump out of his contract.
A piece of gossip leaked out that "Kevin Durant is carefully considering his options and will make a choice before the start of the new season!" β
All the media were waiting for this news, but they didn't expect that before this, such a seismic transaction came.
ESPN uses the title "Incredible" as the title.
"The Bleachers" also used three "shocks" in a row when reporting.
No way, even if there have been rumors before that LeBron James is leaving the Heat, who would have thought that his next stop would be the Golden State Warriors!
