Chapter 405: [Shark swims east, sues the Wizards]

The 2003 second-round rookie has many outstanding role players, Pachulia, Steve Blake, Willie Green, Mo Williams, Bogans, Korver and others. All are low.
If the Wizards management contacted Yang Rui and let him be the master, he would definitely choose one of them, and it would be OK to switch to the top pick. The Wizards didn't change forward and chose the Chinese insider Xue Yuyang with the second round of the 26th pick.
Unseld felt that he had done a beautiful job because it was a choice made by management after the discussion. Scouts, assistant managers and others were involved, and Yang Rui could not say much.
In the second round of selecting a Chinese player, Yang Rui can attract fans and open up the Chinese market as long as Xue Yuyang is tuned into a good role player. The Wizards may also become the home team in the minds of Chinese fans.
Last season, Chinese fans focused on the Wizards, which allowed the entire management to see business opportunities.
Yang Rui knew that the draft signing was invalid because Xue Yuyang didn't even land in the NBA.
This is an unfortunate baby. Before the start of the draft, the basketball association had publicly agreed to Xue Yuyang to participate in the draft, but after being selected, the basketball association accused Xue Yuyang and his agent of illegal operations.
It is estimated that the person in charge of the basketball association at that time believed that Xue Yuyang would not be selected and acted as a fake human relationship. Xue Yuyang was hit hard and kept going down in the following days.
After the draft, Yang Rui, like the evaporation of the world, ignored the draft and continued to play in Los Angeles.
His actions made Unseld confused, and he didn't understand why this happened, and the explanations he had thought were all useless. After returning to Washington after the draft, he reported to Pauling the first time.
"Boss, I think things are very strange. Ordinarily he should ask. Now it seems that he doesn't care about the defending team at all. Should I go to Los Angeles and talk to him?"
"What are you talking about? Jordan met him, and he certainly wouldn't say anything good about us. He deliberately showed us his face and wanted to pick up the shelf. You might ask him, he might make some bad demands." Paulin didn't Good airway.
In fact, Jordan only thanked Yang Rui, basically not mentioning the Wizards, and it was a foregone conclusion, and Jordan did not want to talk nonsense. In addition, Jordan also wanted to invite Yang Rui to Las Vegas to gamble. Yang Rui had no interest in gambling and refused.
Unseld asked, "What should I do?"
"After the opening of the free market, it is reasonable for you to meet and discuss the transaction. It is reasonable for everyone to participate. You don’t have to pay attention to Jerry Yang. This kid is too arrogant. He won’t thank us for winning the championship. He wants to defend the Wizards. Whose team." Paulin sneered.
Unseld nodded and promised immediately. "I will sign another star to ensure that the lineup is stronger than last season."
Neither of them knew that it would not be a test for Yang Rui.
On July 1, the free market opened and two major events immediately took place in the alliance.
The Lakers' All-Star center Shaker O'Neal announced his return to the east and freely joined the Heat, with a five-year contract of $120 million. Because the two sides didn't sign first and then change, the Lakers didn't get anything, so they let go of the super center.
Since the Lakers were eliminated by the Spurs in the playoffs, Jenny Bass and Phil Jackson began to force the palace, intending to break up the OK combination.
The Lakers management is divided into two groups, "Zen Master" and his girlfriend firmly support the "big shark" O'Neal, suggesting that the summer salary renewal O'Neal, build a team with him as the core, trade Kobe, exchange for other stars.
Jackson has always looked at Kobe as unsightly, saying he is not tunable. Before Jackson wanted to trade Kobe with the Suns for Kidd Marion, thinking that as long as they changed, the Lakers might win five consecutive championships.
The deal was rejected by the Lakers management, and Kidd was sent to the Nets to play well. Marion also became an All-Star player, playing 20+10 in the Suns.
Jackson's vision is still very accurate, if the Lakers traded in 2001, the lineup is really super strong.
This time, the "Zen Master" plan to trade Kobe was rejected by Old Bath. Although Jerry Bass is old, he is the one who can be the best player in this team. He believes that O'Neill is old and his state has begun to decline, and it is likely to become a garbage contract in the future. Although Kobe has many shortcomings, he wins at a young age, and will not decline for at least the next five years, and the competitive state is at its peak.
O'Neill made it clear that the relationship with Kobe was broken. When he was without me, the hot Pat Riley threw an olive branch waiting for an opportunity.
The Heat's conditions are very attractive, the team selected high pick rookie Dwyane Wade, he is known as 193CM Jordan, looks promising.
The Heat also have star swingman Eddie Jones, Caron Butler ranked second in the rookie selection last season, and brilliant blue-collar insider Brian Grant.
As long as O'Neal joins, the team can immediately hit the championship. The only weakness of the Heat is the point guard. After O'Neal joins, he may also attract veterans in the free market.
O'Neill wants to win the championship, in order to face the Lakers and Kobe. He thinks that the team won the championship in 2001, is his credit. The failure to win the championship is because the Lakers outside line is not good enough.
After consulting with the broker, "Big Shark" left.
As a result, the status of "Zen Master" in the team has become very awkward. After losing the star, he has a bad relationship with Kobe.
Jackson's contract with the Lakers will expire in another year. The triangle offense cannot be played, and the record will definitely decline next season. According to O'Neill's absence, if they can't bring in stars in the summer, they may not even reach the playoffs.
O'Neill left, not all benefits, his character was questioned by the media and fans.
This is O'Neill's second defection, leaving nothing to the old club. Of course, everyone can understand O'Neal's choice. He is going to other teams to win the championship. Is there any reason to weaken the strength of the new club to benefit the Lakers?
Another big event was that the Wizards awarded the Warriors star point guard Gilberto Arenas a six-year, $63.7 million contract and dug it into the team.
At the same time ~EbookFREE.me~The Wizards sent rookie Barbosa to the Suns for a future first-round draft pick.
With Arenas, plus the great strength of David Wesley, the Wizards' No. 1 position is stronger, and the management does not plan to renew the contract with Tyrone Lu, and there is no place for Barbosa.
The signing was very smooth. The Warriors exceeded the salary cap and were unable to match the contract. They could only issue a middle class for Arenas.
Just when people were looking forward to how strong the combination attack of the Arenas, Hamilton and Stardamer tridents will be next season, Yang Rui held a press conference in Los Angeles and said that there are important things to be announced.
Reporters from all over the world rushed to Los Angeles, and Yang Rui created big news as soon as he opened his mouth: "I invite everyone to come here today. I want to explain a very important thing. Because the Wizards’ management breached the contract, I will leave the Wizards and pass the legal process. Require them to pay the liquidated damages."
A sports journalist from Washington was stunned and asked in disbelief: "Do you want to give up the chance to defend and be a Wizards?"
"Yes, everyone heard correctly, Abel Pollin will soon receive a court summons, our relationship is over!"
