Chapter 580: It’s.time！

Gu Yi went to contact Kupchak.
Because Sun Hao has not publicly announced his comeback, these small operations can only be done in private.
Kupchak was extremely excited after receiving the call.
Although Gu Yi only asked the Lakers in a tentative tone on the phone if they could clear the salary space.
But as long as you are not stupid, you know what that means!
Before the League Committee met, Stern asked the opinions of the bosses of each team, and also told all the teams that Sun Hao would come back early.
Now it is, Sun Hao has to choose to make a comeback in the Lakers!
As long as they can clear enough salary space, the Lakers' revival is in sight!
Then there is the key salary space issue.
According to the results of the previous discussion by the Alliance Committee, no matter where Sun Hao returns, he must sign a contract based on market value.
In other words, Sun Hao must sign a maximum salary.
Sun Hao has played in the NBA for seven years. According to the rules at this time, the starting salary of the maximum salary is 30% of the league's salary cap, which is $17.6 million this season.
The good news for Kupchak is that Marion has expired his contract and his salary this season is just 17.81 million.
As long as he is sent to a team that has room to take this contract and get some exceptions that do not account for the salary cap, the problem will be solved.
The next day, there were rumors.
There are already several media reports that Sun Hao may come back early.
"I think the Lakers are still the team with the most chance of winning this season, because he is coming back!"
In the new episode of TNT in the evening, Barkley cut back from Comet to Sun Chu.
"Who?"
Kenny Smith plays a supporting role every day.
"Who? You don't even know who I'm talking about! After listening clearly, buddy, I'm talking about the Lakers!"
"Sun is coming back."
As soon as Barkley finished speaking, Ernie Johnson took it.
The three of them played in a play, vividly speaking about Sun Hao's coming back.
"But I don't think Sun will definitely make a comeback in the Lakers."
Kenny Smith continued to support the role.
"Man, will Michael Jordan leave the Bulls? No! Will Sun leave the Lakers? Nor!"
Barkley was excited.
"Charles, Sun and Michael are in a different situation, and the Lakers are also in a different situation from the Bulls."
"What's the difference?"
"The Lakers have no salary space right now."
"Can't salary space be cleared out through trading?"
"At this time point, not many teams have it. Even if they do, why do they help the Lakers?"
"Kenny is right. If I have space, I will not help the Lakers, but will try to recruit grandchildren by myself."
There was a quarrel that seemed fierce, but in fact it was clear and gradual.
The theme of this episode of their program is also ready to come out, which is to analyze which team Sun Hao will return if he returns.
Barkley is a firm Lakers faction, which will be the opinion of most fans.
After all, the fans analyzed by Gu Yi may not be able to think about it all, but they can think of a lot.
Smith and Johnson are analyzing the uncertainty of the Lakers.
This program also quickly became popular throughout the Internet.
Fans followed Barkley and they began to speculate wildly about which team Sun Hao would choose to return.
Moreover, TNT strikes while the iron is hot, and has made poll statistics online.
The results showed that the Lakers' votes were as high as 90%.
The second place is the Warriors, but only 6% of the votes.
The mentor Nelson and the "fan" Durant are considered to have a certain attraction to Sun Hao.
The third-ranked Wizards got only 2% of the votes.
The Knicks ranked fourth, with less than 1% of the votes.
The remaining teams have even lower votes.
In other words, the media and fans also think that Sun Hao will only make a comeback in the Lakers.
Back to the Lakers.
Their transactions in the free market are not going well.
The main reason is that no team can afford Marion's contract alone.
Even a rebuilding team cannot have that much room.
Because the NBA has a poor line, this line is about 90% of the salary cap.
Marion’s contract is a maximum salary, close to 30% of the salary cap.
So even if a team is willing to eat, they must find a third party.
This is very difficult to operate.
Among these teams, there are relatively easy to operate teams.
Pacers in the east, and warriors in the west.
The main players of these two teams are rookies with few big contracts and relatively easy operation.
This is also the main target of the Lakers in the free market.
But the Warriors directly rejected the Lakers.
The Warriors are now vying for playoff qualification, to put it bluntly and the Lakers on the same level.
How can it eat the other party's contract and then make the other party stronger?
However, the Pacers did not refuse, and they also started in-depth negotiations with the Lakers.
However, judging from the rumors that broke out, it is not that Bird is much better than Jerry West, but simply wants to take advantage of the fire!
All in all, the Lakers' trade was not going well.
For Sun Hao to make a comeback in the Lakers, it is much more difficult than expected, and it seems that it will take some time.
On this day, an unexpected guest came to Sun Hao's house.
"Logo man" Jerry West and old Nelson.
They just said they came to visit Sun Hao, then took a look at Little Beijing and brought some gifts.
One is the Lakers famous, the other is the former teacher, Sun Hao naturally can't refuse.
After reading Little Beijing, the two took Sun Hao to chat in the living room.
"I heard you are going to come back?"
When he sat down, West went straight to the point.
Sun Hao nodded.
Stern mentioned his comeback in the league committee, and the management of the 30 teams in the league must know this.
There is nothing to hide.
"I know you will definitely come back on the Lakers."
West continued.
Sun Hao didn't speak, just smiled.
West is talking about him.
"We will not persuade you to join the Warriors because we know that it will make you very embarrassed, but if things happen to me, I hope you can consider the Warriors."
West had already guessed the answer from Sun Hao's reaction, so he continued to speak.
"what's the situation?"
Sun Hao is still a little curious.
In addition to letting himself go to the Warriors, he couldn't think of anything else that would allow West and Nelson to come to his home at the same time.
"I'm talking about a hypothesis. If the Lakers can't clear up the salary space, and the management hopes you can come back next season, I hope you can come to the Warriors and spend half the season looking for game status.
If you have ideas, we can only sign a one-year contract, and wait until the end of the summer, you want to go back to Los Angeles, or want to go to other places, we will not do anything to stop it. "
West's subsequent words made Sun Hao feel more interesting.
This feeling is to treat himself as a spare tire and beg him to play for the Warriors for half a season.
Very humble, but it does make Sun Hao feel very okay.
After all, the Warriors have old Nelson and Durant, which can be regarded as his second choice.
He nodded.
Although he didn't think Kupchak even had the ability to clean up space.
"Then, it's settled."
West got up and shook hands with Sun Hao, with a warm and innocent smile.
After sending off West, Sun Hao suddenly felt a strange feeling.
Know that he is a traverser, know that in history, West is the man who claims to control the alliance.
Form an OK combination, trade Gasol for Gasol to create a duo of black and white, choose Curry to recruit Durant to build a warrior quasi-dynasty...
Many of the operations there are impossible for other managers to play in their entire lives.
But thinking about him shook his head again.
Kupchak shouldn't even be able to make a space, right?
It shouldn't.
can you?
...
Sun Hao was waiting, and time was running away.
During this time, the home of Sun Hao's Beverly Manor was turned into the former Boston North Shore Garden Arena. The gate was crowded, and the threshold was almost broken.
Although it is different from West's rhetoric, they all hope that Sun Hao can choose to return in their team.
Some of them said that Sun Hao was a little moved.
Such as the Trail Blazers.
The advantage of the Blazers over the Warriors is that they can fight more young people.
Roy, Batum, Aldridge, Horford, does this lineup lack a point guard?
In addition, Outlaw and Channing Frye have a bright future on the bench.
People boss Paul Allen also let go, as long as Sun Hao is willing to go, money is not a problem.
He even promised Sun Hao that he would have a say in the team.
After this whole set, Sun Hao would really be ready to move if it weren't for the pioneer "veterinarian".
Another example is the Wizards.
Jordan personally had a relationship with Sun Haola.
And if this is a fishing game, Yao Ming is the best bait.
Time is passing by unconsciously, and the trading deadline will be reached in a blink of an eye.
At this time, the teams' pursuit of Sun Hao also entered a fever pitch.
Of course not all teams.
Teams like the Nuggets, Mavericks, and Magic that focus on this season are all strengthening their own.
If Sun Hao returns, they will definitely have another big challenge.
The day before the trading deadline, Kupchak, Phil Jackson and Jenny Buss, a luxurious team came to Sun Hao's house.
"We tried our best, but other teams were very resistant to us, and we couldn't clear the salary space in the end."
Kupchak was frustrated when he said this.
The resistance of other teams in the league to the Lakers was beyond his imagination.
But this is not because his business ability is not good, 8 years, 2 dynasties and 6 championships, this standard is a national public enemy.
It is not an exaggeration to say that other teams can accept the fact that Sun Hao comes back early, but they cannot accept that Sun Hao comes back early in the Lakers.
"What now?"
Sun Hao looked at Kupchak.
"Ahem, Jenny and I mean to make you come back in the summer."
Kupchak did not speak, and Phil Jackson on the side spoke.
When he spoke, Jenny also nodded in cooperation.
Sun Hao had actually guessed this answer when he asked.
Now, it's verified.
But in this way, this is equivalent to saying that West's hypothesis has come true!
And he had promised West before!
Unexpected prophet? Things are like gods?
Sun Hao has a new understanding of West's ability.
And since West has promised, he will fulfill it.
After all, this matter up to now does not mean that he did not give the Lakers a chance, the Lakers themselves can't do it!
"let me consider it."
Sun Hao said.
There is no need to mention the agreement between him and West at this time.
But Sun Hao's answer surprised Phil Jackson and Janet Buss.
think about it?
Not sure, it is likely to be negative!
"We will do our best to fight for Yao next season, when the team's competitiveness will be greatly improved."
Jenny Buss said rushingly at this time.
She finally got power from Little Buss, and she didn't want to lose Sun Hao, the biggest cash cow.
"I know, I'm very interested in working with Yao, and I'm from Los Angeles."
Sun Hao, didn't speak too plainly.
He listened to what Gu Yi said.
His current thinking is just to go to the Warriors to play for half a season to find the feeling of the game.
By the end of the season, he is likely to return to the Lakers.
Just like Jenny said, playing with Yao Ming in Los Angeles is the best result.
What else did Jenny want to say, Phil Jackson stopped her at this time.
"Larry asked us for 4 first-round draft picks. That would empty the Lakers' future. I want to say that we have done our best. We just want you to wait a few months."
Phil Jackson continued.
Sun Hao frowned.
There is nothing wrong with Jackson's words, but it doesn't sound good.
In a sense, the Lakers are not unable to clean up the salary space, but the price is too high.
Then, they hope Sun Hao will make sacrifices.
Phil Jackson is a very good coach, but it's really not good to be a manager, and he doesn't speak much.
And after feeling resentful in his heart, O'Neill was traded unconsciously emerged from his mind.
"I will think about it."
Sun Hao repeated what he said just now, but his tone was obviously not so good this time.
His character has always been soft but not hard.
Phil Jackson said nothing more.
After a few more gossips, they left.
After they left, Sun Hao called both Gu Yi and Fu Paulo to his home and told them his decision.
And because of the lessons learned from the Lakers, he also asked the two not to make any announcements, but to communicate with West first.
On the trading deadline, the alliance has its own trends.
The Warriors also made moves on the trade deadline. They sent a first round and Dampier to the Houston team in exchange for Chuck Hayes.
This is basically a space-clearing operation.
This has made some team management smell something.
Because Hayes' contract is only more than 1 million ~ EbookFREE.me ~ The Warriors have a special case in this deal, and the entire team's salary has fallen below the salary cap.
This operation is very unusual, unless they have to sign someone.
Soon after this, Sun Hao posted a status on his personal Twitter.
The content of this state is few words, but it is as concise as the original Jordan.
"It’!"
Behind this state, he added the official account of the Warriors and Warriors president Jerry West, coach Sr. Nelson, and the Warriors' current team core Durant account.
This meaning can no longer be obvious.
Sun Hao is back early, and he will join the Warriors!
