Chapter 622: Big Ben joins the Lakers

Paul Allen’s announcement within the Trailblazers to rebuild was in fact completely helpless.
Auburn both signed a maximum salary contract in 1999, when they signed a six-year 70 million US dollars.
After the last season, the Trail Blazers renewed the contract.
Auburn's power is sufficient to ensure that the Blazers have maintained the level of playoffs.
Unfortunately, after playing fifteen games this season, Olympics suffered an ankle injury and was directly reimbursed for the season.
Their Trail Blazers record is only ranked 11th in the West, it is difficult to have a chance to reach the playoffs.
In this case, it happened that the Lakers extended an olive branch to the Blazers, and Paul Allen was naturally thinking of rebuilding.
Richard sighed when he heard that Xiao Ao was reimbursed for the ankle injury.
If Xiao Ao has always been by his side, this kind of thing will definitely not happen. He has many props to ensure his health.
Regardless of the injury reels, Richard just got the props award because Milicic broke the record of the youngest all-star mvp because of Milicic's record.
Rewarded props, the names are rather salacious...
The happiness of the lower body, this is the name of this prop, Richard did not look at the attributes, once thought it was what bedding.
"Happiness of the Lower Body": Permanent props, after binding the target player, can guarantee the target player's chance of injury below the waist is reduced by 90%. Each season has an opportunity to change the target player.
This item has many similarities with the permanent items previously acquired by Richard, and it is possible to change the target player once a year.
However, in Richard's view, this prop may be more precious.
As we all know, the most vulnerable parts of players are ankles and knees.
And injuries in these two positions have the greatest impact on player strength.
If it is a wrist injury or a back injury, sometimes the player can continue to play.
But if the ankle or knee is injured, the player can't even run, and it certainly can't continue to debut.
Now with this prop, it can almost be said to completely get rid of the possibility of lower body injury!
To know that after binding this item, there is a 90% chance of avoiding lower body injuries. Unless it is too bad, otherwise it is difficult to meet the 10% chance.
...
If Xiao Ao is by his side, Richard must not hesitate to bind this prop...
But now that the Blazers have announced that they are rebuilding, it doesn’t make much sense to bind. It’s better to let the Blazers continue to fray, and strive to be able to trade with the Bulls in the 2006 NBA Draft as the normal situation. Delic.
...
Two days later, a deal that shocked the alliance was born.
The Lakers sent two first-round picks plus three second-round picks over the next five years, and brought a Brian Grant to exchange for a big capital from the Blazers.
Brian Grant's contract is a serious problem for the Lakers. His salary is more than 14 million US dollars, only one million dollars less than Kobe.
It just happened to use Grant's contract to balance salary with Big Ben's new contract.
The contract that Big Ben just signed with the Trail Blazers is $60 million in four years. It is not that Big Ben cannot sign a longer contract. The reason why he signed such a four-year contract is mainly for his own future considerations.
The last year of this contract is a player option, which means that three years later, the big book can jump out of the contract.
Considering the current age of Big Ben, he can be said to be the oldest player of the West Lafayette except Barry.
Barry can't be called Barry now, he is 35 years old...
And Big Ben is now 32 years old.
Everyone knows the blue-collar player's position of eating physical fitness, his career will not be too long, and when Big Ben is 35 years old, no one can say what kind of competitive state he can play.
Now signing a four-year contract, exactly three years later he is 35 years old.
If the state of competition is good, he will continue to play the Blazers for a year.
If the competitive state is not good, he directly jumped out of the contract and came to Richard...
He didn't lack money at all, because he signed a contract with Richard's brokerage company, and got a lot of endorsement opportunities. He also signed a good contract with Li Ning in China.
Over the years, the big money has not been lost, so he does not care about the length of the contract.
He still hopes to wait until he can retire under Richard's hands.
His career started under Richard, and naturally ended under Richard.
This is the long-cherished dream of Big Ben. He hopes that Richard will preside over his retirement ceremony.
Not only the big capital, but many West Lafayette players have this idea.
...
This transaction shocked the entire west.
The Lakers have a good record this season. Although they didn't make the playoffs last season, they rely on Kobe's magical play this season. They have almost reserved a playoff seat.
How amazing is Kobe this season? 62 points in three quarters, 81 points in a single game, 35.4 points per game this season, all played out this season.
This season can be said to be Kobe's super-season season. Considering his teammates, the only reliable one is Odom.
But even Odom is now deeply influenced by the women of the Kardashian family, and occasionally there will be distractions on the field.
What shocked the Western team was ~EbookFREE.me~ If Big Ben joined the Lakers, how terrible would this Lakers become?
To know that Big Ben's style is Kobe's perfect complement, he doesn't need any ball rights to help the team on the court.
The key big money is still at its peak. This season's big money has averaged 7.6 points, 15.4 rebounds and 2.9 blocks per game. It is still the top super blue collar inside the league.
And what did the Lakers pay? They just paid for their potential over the next five years.
Harvested a super blue collar like Big Ben, and also got rid of Grant's contract.
This seems to be an unequal trade, and the teams feel that there may be a py trade between the Blazers and the Lakers.
If there is a py transaction, it is really not.
The Blazers want to rebuild. Grant, who has only one year left, just used to clear up salary space, and then got so many drafts, which is also a good thing for them.
Of course, the reason why this deal can be reached, Kobe and Daben also played an important role in it.
These two people have been unhappy and suffocated these years.
Big Ben was thinking of changing teams and moods, and Kobe really wanted to win the championship.
As a result, after Kobe made more than a dozen phone calls to Big Ben, Big Ben nodded and should bear it, even if the deal was reached.
When Richard learned of the news, he was a little dazed.
Big Ben has joined the Lakers. Will the Lakers trade Gasol from the Grizzlies in the future?
It seems that this possibility still exists...
In another two years, the salary space can continue to grow, plus the Lakers are willing to spend money, if they have the opportunity, they may still eat the big contract.
At that time, the Lakers were a bit scary...
