Chapter 296: Lao Sa joined the Wizards

The home team's locker room, all players are sitting on the bench.
Richard is no exception...
Smoking the premium cigar that Paul Allen prepared for the championship, right, bit by bit, no one spoke.
It's time for life and death, and any team will definitely prepare to celebrate the necessary cigars, champagne and so on after winning the championship.
There is no need to celebrate now, but the local tyrant Paul Allen will not do anything to return these things.
At the cup-making time outside, they must have been quite harsh on Richard...
Paul Allen must have come to the scene tonight, with the Blazers’ jersey on the outside of his shirt, and now he walked into the locker room.
"Open champagne!"
"Cigars are all lit!"
"Don't be listless one by one!"
"We almost forced the bulls to death, why did each one seem to have lost their souls?!"
After Paul Allen came in, he greeted the staff to open champagne and lighted cigars for every player!
"No matter what you are thinking now, as a boss, I am extremely satisfied with your performance this season!"
"Can't be satisfied anymore, God, you did what I couldn't even dream of!"
"This season, you can push the Bulls into desperation. The next season will be when they are beaten!"
Paul Allen really didn’t lie, he never dreamed that the Blazers could fight the Bulls in a tiebreaker...
Originally in his prediction, whether the Blazers can enter the West this season is a matter of two things.
Of course, he also has regrets in his heart, and it is almost a short distance from winning the championship. Everyone regrets it...
But he is not the kind of insatiable person, and this result is already a good result that he never dreamed of. He really can't be more demanding on Richard and others!
"To be honest, as a boss and a fan, I must be quite sorry!"
"But this is also our motivation to move forward. What is terrible to lose, not to mention the bull that is called the strongest team in history!"
"Now, everyone is cheering up, smiling, and raising the champagne in their hands!"
"After doing this, go back and take a good rest for three days!"
"Then I still prepared a special gift for you, and you will relax after three days!"
Paul Allen said to everyone in an atmosphere.
The generals nodded one after another. Paul Allen is undoubtedly a good boss. With such a boss, they are also comfortable playing the ball.
"Come on, we respect Richard!"
"Congratulations to Richard for getting the best head coach this season, and the Blazers for their best record in the league!"
"We have been quite rewarding this season!"
Paul Allen said with a smile.
Everyone toasted and drank champagne!
This season, the Trail Blazers have indeed achieved great results, playing the best regular season record in the Western Conference and breaking the team's record of winning the season!
In personal honor, Richard got the honor of the best head coach of the season.
Carlisle is Richard's biggest rival for this award, but in the end this award was still won by Richard.
Speaking of it, Richard doesn’t care much about this award at all. It may be a great glory for other coaches, but in Richard’s opinion, the value of this award is even worse than the championship. Less than...
In addition to Richard, Big Ben was elected to the defensive second team this season!
Although Big Ben didn't get the chance to participate in the All-Star game like Kobe and O'Brien, getting a defensive second team is enough to prove Big Ben's ability.
The Olympic All-Star starter, Kobe Bryant All-Star substitute, these two All-Stars are also considered a harvest this season.
The harvest is indeed quite a lot, but it does not have the harvest that Richard wanted most-the championship!
Richard raised his glass, filled it with champagne, and knocked the glass to the crowd.
"Guys, this season is over!"
"The reason why we failed to win the championship, we can find many excuses and reasons..."
"But next season, if we still can't win the championship, then we can't find any reason and excuse!"
"If you can't win the championship, it can only show that we are a scum team!"
"The following period of time, we may have some personnel changes, I believe you should all be clear."
"May these brothers who are about to leave have a better future in the future!"
Richard raised his glass and swallowed it!
The season is over, then it's time to consider signing and trading.
Especially at the point of Lao Sa, Richard was quite upset.
After two years of getting along, Richard really didn't want any of his players to leave...
However, business is business, which is the cruel reality of the nba alliance.
Richard cannot ask Lao Sa to cut his salary and stay with the Blazers, which is unfair to Lao Sa...
Although Lao Sa has always been very famous, but in fact his salary is quite low. In the next few years, while he still has oil in his fuel tank, he should earn some dollars to let his family live a better life.
In addition to Lao Sa, Rashid and Lao Curry are also facing contract renewal. As for other marginal players, Richard must be able to follow suit. If the team's roster is missing, they may sign a few on the base salary. How many people...
If there is no shortage of people, Richard can only help.
...
At eight o'clock the next morning, Richard appeared in his office on time.
The other players were on holiday, but Richard was unable to relax. Today he had an appointment with Lao Sa and talked about how Lao Sa was arranged next.
"Li, thank you for your care for these two years."
"Especially this year's playoffs..."
Lao Sa smiled and said to Richard.
Richard waved his hand, "Old man, I heard that several teams submitted a contract offer to you last night, right?"
Lao Sa nodded, and there was nothing very good about Richard. Both sides knew that Lao Sa's fate with the Blazers was broken.
Richard came to interest and asked, "Oh? Which teams are I, I can help you."
"Jazz..." Lao Sa said the first team to submit a contract to him, and could not help laughing.
Richard couldn't help but laugh, this jazz is a good abacus!
"How much did they give?" Richard asked curiously.
"10 million in 2 years, they may think I can only fight for another two years?"
"If I don't want to join the Jazz at all, I can't accept the offer they made..." Lao Sa said with a smile.
"What about other teams?"
"The Philadelphia 76ers, they gave a salary of 30 million US dollars in 4 years."
"Washington Bullets, no. It should be called the Wizards now. They gave 30 million dollars for three years. I prefer the Wizards, Li. What do you think?"
Richard nodded. He regretted that he had helped Lao Sa's staff...
He definitely wanted Lao Sa to join the 76ers, but the 76ers contract is not as good as other Wizards, Lao Sa's current situation, it is natural to choose more money.
Perhaps after the three-year contract is executed, UU Reading www.uukanshu.com Lao Sa can sign another contract...
With a four-year contract, it's more risky, perhaps no one would ask Lao Sa at that time.
"Wizards..." Richard did not conscientiously recommend the 76ers and directly recommended the Wizards.
"Okay! Lee, I don't know when I will meet next time. I wish the Blazers won the championship next year!" Lao Sa said to Richard with reluctance.
He must be reluctant to the Blazers. If the Blazers can provide a generous contract, he will definitely not leave the Blazers...
The Blazers are definitely Lao Sa's home team. In 1986, the Blazers chose him with the 24th overall pick in the first round.
Only for various reasons, he did not have the opportunity to join nba until 95...
The Blazers waited for Lao Sa for nine years, and never announced that he would give up Lao Sa's signing rights!
