Chapter 389: [Invitation from Clippers, selfish thoughts]

While Wang Jun waited calmly, the Nets management was extremely anxious.
According to Thorn's plan, he traded Jefferson for an insider and draft pick, and then matched Wang Jun's contract.
This insider can carry a big contract, but it must be only two years left.
Two years later, the Nets let this person go and used the base salary to work hard, otherwise the three high-paid players in the team would have to pay a high luxury tax.
The league has very few inside lines, and those with strength are regarded as treasures by the teams. Where can people with special conditions like this be found?
The loyal Richard Jefferson was put on the shelf and could not be sold.
All teams know that there are too many swingers for the Nets, so they definitely want to send one away, so they want to drive down the price and get a strong player at the smallest price. Without a good bargaining chip, the Nets will suffer at any cost.
For example, if the Spurs want Jefferson, the chips are outrageous, Nestorovic + two role players.
If it is changed, it is simply to help the Spurs solve the garbage contract, Thorne suspects that Vicki deliberately pasted him.
Boss Bruce realized that it was not good, and then took Jefferson to change the draft. And when the deal is concluded, the fans must be angry and lose character.
In addition to this, the Nets have to work hard to leave the existing inside lineup, which makes the management headache, and there are other teams want to dig a foot from the Nets.
Blue-collar Jerome James won the Knicks’ five-year, $30 million contract. The Knicks are used to spending more money, but this reflects how scarce the league is.
The Heat renewed O'Neal's 100 million in 5 years and Haslem's 34 million in 5 years. As long as they are a good insider, even if they are only blue-collar workers, they have received high salaries.
The Lakers thought O'Neal was too old. It is difficult to guarantee the status, so the deal is gone and the Heat still gives O'Neill the big contract. Very adventurous.
Pat Riley knew that the Heat had the strength to impact the championship. But without O'Neal, they are just ordinary playoff teams.
In order to find an inside shield, the Lakers signed with the Wizards and then exchanged. They got Kwame Brown and Tim Laron. They sent away starting small forward Caron Butler and started point guard Atkins.
General Manager Kupchak was once again surrounded by doubts. How could Brown be worth $22.68 million in 3 years? Butler, averaging 15.5 points, 5.8 rebounds, 1.9 assists, and 1.4 steals, only changed the blue-collar Brown to look like the Lakers lost money.
In fact. Even before the Lakers won the championship, Kupchak has never really been recognized by people. He is always regarded as a watcher of the Lakers' championship, not a merit.
After selling the "Big Shark", Kupchak experienced everything, even more diligent than during the three consecutive championships. From the draft conference to the summer league, from the European prospects to the training camp, Kupchak is everywhere. But his diligence did not pay off. He could not find an insider to fill the shark vacancy for the Lakers. With superstition veteran value, he even placed his hopes on Divac, who was on the verge of retirement.
Now this transaction is more brain-damaged, it is simply disturbing the market. 7 points and 4.9 rebounds, waste wood that doesn't make free throws is such a big contract, how much do other insiders cost?
See the amount of these contracts and transactions. The Nets completely stopped thinking of replacing Jefferson with an inside star.
As far as this year's market is concerned, Jefferson will at most add a Kwame Brown level inside to add head, so that Thorne should call himself "Lei Feng" in Chinese.
After several transactions were completed in early July, the free market fell silent.
The Clippers took the lead in giving Wang Jun a top salary without rushing to renew Bobby Simmons.
Currently in the Clippers, only Brand has a 10 million annual salary player. The second-highest Maggette contract is only 7 million. They are the team with the largest salary space in the league and can offer the highest theoretical salary. Sincerity.
The Clippers stubbornly wanted to compete with the Lakers next season and didn't want to be backed up every year.
Kaman also called Wang Jun. Hope he agrees. Once the Nets do not match, the Clippers will form the starting lineup of Kaman, Brand, Maggette and Wang Jun. The only weaker one is the point guard position.
Livingston is injured, Jaric is too bad, but the Clippers have enough salary space, they can dig people in the free market, or they can trade for a point guard.
Wang Jun was a little bit tempted and called Ryan Hughes to dinner at home for discussion. "Lei, this contract is the highest salary, the Clippers lineup is not bad, how are you feeling?"
Hughes shook his head: "Stop it? I suggest you continue to wait, don't go to the Clippers, although there are your friends there."
Wang Jun looked at the two younger sisters and Abby again and asked, "Do you guys also talk about ideas?"
Accepting the top salary, if the Nets don’t match, he will be gone.
Leaving the Nets means leaving New York and living in a brand new environment. Everyone knows this. Wang Jun wants to know whether the three can accept him to develop in other cities.
Wang Jun just lived in Manhattan, and actually faced the same embarrassment as James, with no big market.
The Nets haven't found a strongman inside. If the lineup remains the same, or if there are no inside stars when Jefferson leaves, how could they overheat? Wang Jun is not very satisfied with the team lineup.
For many players, such as the Rockets, the second round is already a breakthrough. But Wang Jun won the championship and after experiencing the taste of victory, he began to be dissatisfied with the fate. He wanted to win more and win more championships.
Wang Leying glanced at Abby, not knowing what to say. She hoped Wang Jun would go to the team she wanted to have a good time. But Abby is working in New York and it is difficult for the two to meet.
Song Ting supported Wang Jun to go to Los Angeles. "Why don't you go to the Clippers? How good is it in Los Angeles, where there are Hollywood, there are stars... not to mention Hako's family is in Los Angeles, and we will also pass in the future and get more in one fell swoop."
After talking, she still kicked Leying gently under the table.
When they graduate, if they don't go to Los Angeles, Yuan Hao is not good to fall in love with Le Ying.
"Abby, what do you think?" Wang Jun asked.
Abby sighed: "If you go to Los Angeles, I can't apply to transfer to work there. Los Angeles are all people who are reused by espn. Can you choose another team? Sorry, I don't want you to go to the Clippers."
In fact, she was worried that Wang Jun would go to Los Angeles and get closer to Theron.
After participating in the reality show, the relationship between them has been heating up, but I don't want to have any surprises.
She felt that she was a bit selfish, but she still said it.
Hughes took the topic: "Don't think about it, UU Reading www.uukanshu.com Clippers owner Stirling is a recognized bastard, and their status in Los Angeles is similar to the Nets in New York. The core is Bran. Germany, let you share the ball with Maggette. Maggette hasn't made a three-pointer. You must be attracted from the perimeter. It would be better to go to the Cavaliers."
"knight?"
"They can give you a top salary, and they haven't acted until now. What are they talking about?"
Abby's eyes brightened, and it was better for Wang Jun to join the Cavaliers than for other teams, but she did not express an opinion and did not want to ignore Wang Jun's development in a city. The Cavaliers' position was too bad.
It was only July, and Wang Jun had time to wait.
