" Explosive: Shark Journey to the West!!!"
"Los Angeles 'Mr. Right ~"
"The biggest contract in history, as expected of a wealthy family."
"Orlando will regret this!"
"Where can the young Shaq lead the Laker?"
The media had already gone crazy. This summer's explosive news was exposed one after another, and this time it was even nuclear bomb level news.
Originally, everyone thought that there was no chance for the Los Angeles Clippers. After all, the salary space was not enough to sign Shark, especially the New Yorkers. They did not see the Los Angeles Clippers as a competitor at all. They had always treated Shark as a delicacy that could be swallowed as long as they opened their mouths.
Orlando's players were even more dumbfounded. They did not even want to offer the Sharks a contract worth hundreds of millions. They wanted to save some money, but in the blink of an eye, the Clippers gave them the biggest contract in history. It was impossible for them to match it.
"Wow, you guys are so crazy. I feel like I'm dreaming.”Charaz's excited voice came from the other end of the phone. Xiao Yang's lips curled up." I was about to call you to ask when you traded Divens for that high school student.”
Xiao Yang's smile froze." I think you're calling to scold me.”"Haha, no, but a lot of my friends are fans of the Laker. They've been scolding your management.”Charaz stuck out his tongue playfully on the other end of the phone.
"Oh right, my new movie is starting. I got another role.”Charaz said happily," It's directed by Tom Hanks. I played a very important role in it.”For some reason, the first person Charlizards wanted to share the news with was Xiao Yang, whom he had only met once.
The two of them had not seen each other since their last separation. Xiao Yang was busy with the draft and signing of contracts. Although he did not have to do anything, he still followed West to experience the behind-the-scenes work of the NBA. In his previous life, he only saw the results. Now that he could participate in the process up close, it felt good and he learned a lot.
Meanwhile, Charaz had been auditioning with different production teams under the arrangement of her agent. It was not until today that the role was finally decided. She had also called Xiao Yang to share her joy.
"Congratulations, I knew you would succeed.”Xiao Yang also enjoyed chatting with the South African diamond." I was going to invite you to watch the summer league of the Los Angeles Clippers. Now it seems that you don't have time to film.”
Charaz's originally excited mood instantly fell." Yes, the schedule is very tight. It just so happens that you have to film during the summer league.”" But I'll be able to watch it during the preseason." The girl was in a good mood again.
"I'll leave you a front row ticket, haha.”Xiao Yang smiled as he ended the call with Charaz.
July 19th, the day after O'Neill signed the contract.
The Clippers and O'Neal jointly held a signing press conference at the Reebok Olympic Center in Atlanta. As the sponsor of O'Neal's sneakers, Reebok held a grand party for this and invited the teammates of the Dream Sharks 'third team to attend." Pence " was completely furious.
The New Yorkers found themselves being used by the Flying Man as a tool. After O'Neal was signed by the Los Angeles Clippers, Jordan quickly reached an agreement with the Bulls, promising to keep the Bulls 'championship team. He even increased the Flying Man's annual salary to 30,000,000 dollars. Jordan naturally renewed his contract with the Bulls and tricked the New Yorkers.
The Knicks 'management team was stunned to find that their PlanA and PlanB were gone. At this moment, the big fish in the free agent market were almost gone. Looking at his huge salary space, the New Yorkers gritted their teeth and signed Alan Houston, who was unwilling to be the second best player, from the pistons on a seven-year, 56,000,000-yuan contract.
"Xiao, the Magic has lodged a complaint with the Alliance.”West walked into the president's office with a gloomy face. Xiao Yang was thinking about the future of the team when he heard West's words.
"A complaint? What are you complaining about?" Xiao Yang was confused. "They filed a complaint with the league about the Laker bribing O'Neal to sign a contract.”West was furious when he heard the news." They're questioning my integrity, Shaq's integrity, and the integrity of the Laker.”West was furious.
Xiao Yang was also dumbfounded. What the f * ck, what was Orlando doing? Did he have to flip the table if he lost? How could the NBA be played like this?
" Let them investigate. F * ck, we're not afraid of shadows. Jerry, calm down first and tell President David that if they don't find out about the NBA's illegal operation, I'll make the Magic apologize to the NBA. The kind that will be published in the newspapers.”Xiao Yang gritted his teeth.
West nodded with a dark face. He also felt that the magic trick had gone too far this time and had violated the rules of the industry.
"By the way, Jerry, I have my eye on a draft pick. Remember to sign him.”Xiao Yang slapped his forehead. He had almost forgotten about the four-time Defensive Player of the Year.
"Yes, who is it?" West asked doubtfully. He was also curious about which player Xiao Yang had taken a fancy to. He had always thought that Xiao Yang had good taste, or else he would not have supported him to trade Divacs for Kobe.
"Ben Wallace, a center forward who is a little over two meters tall.”Xiao Yang smiled.
"A short center forward?" West frowned slightly. It was 1996, and the centers in the league were all tall and big. The current basketball philosophy was still very orthodox to separate the five positions. Each position had its own standard size and function. A 2.05-meter point guard like Magic John Xun was considered a weirdo among weirdos.
"Listen to me and sign him. It's just a draft anyway. There's no need to pay a big price.”Xiao Yang thought to himself, You guys will be warned in the future.
"Alright, as you wish." West shrugged. A draft pick signing wouldn't affect the follow-up operation anyway. The most important thing was that he had to give the new owner of the Laker enough face.
"Also, I hope that Kobe's playing time can be guaranteed in the new season. At least, he can maintain an average of more than 26 minutes per game.”Xiao Yang then raised his request.
Thinking back to Kobe's rookie season in the future, he only had an average of 15 minutes of playing time per game. What a joke. How could this amount of time be enough? Then, thinking about the rookie seasons of the star players in the future, which one of them did not have the ball to support them? James, Anthony, Durant…They were all given enough playing time and unlimited shooting rights.
If it weren't for Xiao Yang's concern that Kobe, who was still growing, would get injured if he was given more playing time, he would have asked the coach to give him 40 minutes per game to train Kobe.
"This... The rotation in the backcourt can't squeeze out so much time.”West didn't know whether to laugh or cry." Jones, Van Exel, Sebaros, and even this year's number 24, Fisher, all need to play.”
"Keep Jones and Fisher. Ask the other teams if they want the rest.”Xiao Yang waved his hand nonchalantly. What a joke. How could those players be more important than Kobe? The top priority for the current team was to get rid of Kobe first and rebuild with him as the cornerstone. If necessary, Xiao Yang was even willing to trade O'Neal.
Of course, Xiao Yang didn't say this out loud, or West's jaw would have dropped to the ground.
Even if Xiao Yang did not say his true thoughts, West's mouth was wide open. He knew that Xiao Yang valued Kobe, but he did not expect Xiao Yang to be willing to trade the potential star van Exel and the slam dunk king Sebaros to give Kobe more time to play.
"Alright, I'll go back and think about how to make use of their value.”West saw that Xiao Yang did not seem to be joking and rubbed his temples.
"Try to get a draft pick." Xiao Yang added behind his back." Pfft!" West almost spat out a mouthful of blood. What was going on? The depth of the lineup would have dropped by several levels if they traded away these strong players, but the boss still wanted to get as many draft picks as possible. Was he planning to rebuild it right from the start?
"Just trust me." Looking at West's gloomy back as he left, Xiao Yang leaned back in his chair and muttered to himself," Endure this period, the future is bright."
Soon, the news that the Los Angeles team had placed Van Exel and Ceballos on the shelves spread throughout the league. The managers of the other teams were about to reach their climax. This was too unbelievable. Van Exel was a potential All-Star last season, scoring 15 points and 7 assists. The key was that he had only been in the league for three years. If he continued to grow, he would become an All-Star.
Ceballos was a fierce player who scored 21 points and 7 rebounded last season. He was once the slam dunk king and had a gorgeous style of play. The key was that he was not the kind of player who only broke out last season. He had an average of 20 7 in the last three seasons.
Didn't the Clippers just sign Shaq? The situation had changed too quickly. One second, they were still trying to win the championship, and the next second, they were about to rebuild the league. The executives expressed that they could not understand the actions of the Los Angeles Clippers.
Although they could not understand it, it did not prevent them from making an offer to the Los Angeles Clippers. After all, it was not every day that they would meet a brainless management. The Los Angeles Clippers would have to go to the supermarket to buy the items.
"What a brainless management! The Los Angeles team has just begun to rebuild again?"
" Poor Laker fans. One second heaven, the next moment hell."
" The league should take over the Laker. We can't let outsiders drag down the giants."
" The Laker has sunk. When will we see the dawn?"
" Magician: Don't expect me to come back to save the market!”
……
All the major media outlets reported on it, all of them mocking, not understanding, and even predicting that the Laker wouldn't even make it into the playoffs in the new season.
