Chapter 383 The Big Three Disintegrate + The Lakers Want to Find Big Dreams
In the capital, Wang Tiejun spent half a day dealing with the fans at the airport before he was able to leave.

He will go to Japan tomorrow. Hawksman is waiting for him in Tokyo. After participating in business activities, he will return to China, rest until the end of the month, and then report to the national team.

96年亚特兰大奥运会是7月19号至8月4号举行，他至少要提前半个月报到，和队友磨合一下战术。

In a few days, the second Tiejun summer camp will open as usual. Zhang Lili told him the day before yesterday that he has resigned from the national team to be his commentator, so the summer camp will continue to be managed by him.

……

In the United States, with the end of the season, although the trading window has not yet opened, as big fish enter the free market, all teams, some players and agents are starting to get busy.

The first is Jordan, the biggest fish. With the end of the contract, he became a completely free man. David Falk announced his entry into the free market on his behalf.

Then the big dream Olajuwon, Barkley, Mutombo, Cobra Grant, Reggie Miller and others announced their entry into the free market.

However, the free market has not yet opened, so all actions can only be carried out underwater and secretly, and cannot be exposed.

In New York, O'Neal's agent, Leonard Amoto, and Knicks president Dave Chuckett finally negotiated and reached a contract extension, the bird rights super cap renewal, 7 years 1.3 million US dollars.

This negotiation has been going on for a long time. Originally, the Knicks hoped to renew the contract in advance. The contract offered was 7 million US dollars for 1.1 years. Unfortunately, Amoto rejected it, so it has been delayed until now.

In Miami, Pat Riley also reached a contract extension agreement with David Frank about Mourning, seven years and $1.05 million.

This is also a bird rights supercap renewal, and the Heat still have room to chase a big-name star in the free market.

……

In Houston, Dameng, Barkley and Drexler got together and were discussing their affairs.

After winning the championship, the spirit of the three old guys is basically gone. Drexler just signed the contract last year. He must stay in Houston, while Barkley and Dameng have decided to enter the free market and fight for a big contract.

They used to have small contracts, but this time they want to get a pension contract.

"Hakim, you are really nothing. You brought me here, but you ran away first." Drexler complained with a smile.

The words were words of complaint, but there was no complaint in his tone. This is his hometown and he has always wanted to come back, so the departure of Dameng and Barkley will not affect his mood, it is just teasing.

"You have won two championships, so you can have fun secretly." Dameng said angrily.

He was still a little envious, these two old things had two rings each, and he only had one, so he was a little disadvantaged when he was ranked in history?
But now he is not willing to let him hug someone's thigh for the championship. The most important thing now is the big contract.

"You're just kidding. Ewing was sold to the Magic. After Jordan, O'Neal will overwhelm him. David Robinson is trapped in the Spurs. Will he be able to make a difference under K's hands in the future? Three super centers, you have the highest status." Barkley laughed.

"hey-hey……"

Dameng laughed cheerfully. The three super centers have competed for many years, but he still won.

"Where do you want to go?" Drexler asked.

"Whoever gives the big contract will go there." Barkley laughed.

"Hakeem is not bad, he has the strength to be the core, you are a scammer." Drexler joked.

Barkley said angrily, "What's cheating? I'm in pretty good shape right now. I averaged 21 points per game in the finals, two points more than you. You're not as good as me."

"Haha..." Dameng laughed out loud when he heard it was interesting.

"What are you laughing at? Will you be in such good shape next season?" Barkley said angrily.

Dameng laughed straight, next season he will definitely not have the spirit of this season. In fact, his physical condition has declined a bit in the past two years. The reason why he remains at the peak is that his skills and game experience have reached the peak, and his overall strength is still at the peak.

Barkley suddenly sighed: "It's not the right time, Larry Johnson, old K, there will be O'Neal in the future, and there will be another billion-dollar contract soon. The three of you and I can only watch those young people get it."

"Ugh!"

Dameng and the glider sighed at the same time.

Especially Dameng, whose strength still exists, has just led the team to win the championship and won the FMVP, but he wants to get a contract of [-] million yuan next, but it is very difficult, almost impossible.

Not only him, but in his estimation, even Jordan might find it difficult to get a contract worth [-] million yuan.

There is no other reason, but they are too old. No team will be willing to give them a long-term contract of more than five years, putting the future of the team on a veteran.

"Charles, is there a team contacting you?" Dameng asked.

Barkley's face turned bitter. I just won the championship, and I'm still the Big Three. Why didn't any team contact me?If there is no, there is, but they all want to take advantage of him, and no team is willing to give a big contract.

Looking at Fatty's face, Dameng understood that he was in the same situation.

A strong team has no space, and even if they want to give them a big contract, they can't sign in. There is a salary cap pressing there.

Weak teams will not give them long-term contracts. They might give them tens of millions of annual salary if they sign a one-year short contract, but that is not what they want. They want a long-term contract, at least tens of millions in three or four years.

Drexler asked Dameng: "Hakeem, won't Alexander give you a big contract?"

At the mention of this, smoke came out of Dameng's nose, and he scolded: "Don't talk about that miser, he can't wait to give me a basic salary."

Drexler sighed: "In fact, if Mosaic is willing to use your bird rights, there is no problem with our space, and Charles may stay."

Dameng looked at Barkley and said, "Charles, what is your bottom line?"

Barkley thought for a while, and tentatively said, "At least 5000 million for three years?"

"You might as well grab it." Dameng said angrily.

"I won't talk about the 5000 million yuan contract. Why is it not worth [-] million yuan in three years?" Barkley said angrily.

"I don't even dare to say that. You still have 5000 million in three years? Then I will say [-] million in five years." Dameng said disdainfully.

Drexler doesn't bother to pay attention to these two idiots, this one is 5000 million in three years, that one is 2000 million in five years, and I only have [-] million in three years, so I am a loser?

At this time, the management of the Mosaic team is urgently discussing how to renew the contract with Dameng.

The boss Alexander just fired the former general manager and hired Dawson, the old assistant coach, as the new general manager. At this time, Dawson proposed to him to renew the contract with the bird rights, and then offered 500 million annual salary to keep Barkley, so that he can maintain the lineup of the Big Three and hope to win the championship next year.

"Dameng is over 33 years old, what kind of contract is appropriate for him?" He asked distressedly.

Dawson already had a plan and said, "He should be satisfied with 6000 million to 500 million in five years."

"So big?" Alexander asked in pain.

Dawson persuaded: "Dameng's state is better than that of Barkley and Drexler. Without his outstanding performance in this finals, we can't win the Bulls at all. He should be worthy of this contract.

In addition, as we win the championship, the football market will definitely enter a period of development, so we must maintain the lineup and maintain the trend of winning the championship to prevent the football market from falling into a slump. "

When it comes to the football market, it hits Alexander's heart. His business strategy is to sell tickets to make money. Honors are not in his plan at all, but if Dameng and Barkley leave, his football market may really collapse.

"Okay, it's a big dream, so let's continue him." Finally he said helplessly.

"OK, I'll contact Dameng and his agent right away." Dawson said happily. It was really not easy to convince this stingy boss.

While the Big Three were talking nonsense, Dameng received a call from his agent Fagan.

"Sixty-five million in five years?"

This offer, even if it didn't make him drop the phone, was an average of 300 million a year, and the important thing was the five-year contract.

"Okay, I'll be right over here."

He doesn't care much anymore. He has released words in the past two days and entered the free market, but he has not gained much. He doesn't want to toss anymore.

At this time, Barkley's phone rang, and it was David Frank who contacted him.

"Damn it, it's only 1000 million in two years? That idiot Hakim can sign 500 million for five years, why should I only have 1000 million in two years? I won't sign." He said angrily.

Dameng, who was about to leave, said awkwardly: "You idiot, it's not my offer to you, why are you complaining about me?"

Barkley said unhappily: "I gave you all the space and left me a middle class. Are you asking me to agree? I have two championships. How can I not get 1000 million in two years? Believe it or not, I will return to the Suns?"

Dameng and Drexler looked at each other, how can this be done?

Dameng and Barkley originally agreed that they wanted to enter the free market, just to force the palace management to give them a big contract. Unexpectedly, the management gave Dameng a big contract that is still a big deal. Barkley Nothing is left here.

"Then why don't you leave? But the Suns still forget it. They can't give you a big contract, or they wouldn't have traded you three years ago." Dameng asked.

He has already won the championship, and it doesn't matter whether Barkley can stay or not, but I hope Barkley can go to other teams to get a big contract.

Barkley nodded, and the phone was still on. He said to David Frank: "David, I will definitely not sign this contract. Please help me contact other teams."

"OK, wait for my news." David Frank said.

……

For the Indiana Pacers, the management is negotiating with Reggie Miller's agent to discuss how to renew the contract, which is a bit troublesome.

There was no problem at first. The Pacers originally prepared a 7-year 7000 million contract, and Reggie Miller also agreed, but another incident happened.

After the Magic were eliminated in the Eastern Conference Finals, Ewing's agent David Frank suddenly contacted the management, revealing that the gorilla intends to leave the Magic and is interested in the Pacers.

This made the management very happy, as if a golden pie fell from the sky. Although the main center Rick Schmitz is not bad, how can he compare with Ewing?
But David Frank raised Ewing's salary requirements. After the contract expires next season, the new contract must be more than five years, with a total amount of at least 500 million US dollars.

So now they are having a headache, how can the team accommodate two star contracts with an annual salary of tens of millions.

There is only one way to get Reggie Miller to cut his salary, which is what they can come up with.

The specific method is that because Ewing only has a contract of 300 million next season, Reggie Miller's new contract this time can copy the contract that the Knicks gave Ewing last year, give a high salary next season, and then get a low salary in the following years.

But no matter what, the management cannot give a contract of 7 million US dollars for 7000 years, and the total amount can only reach 5500 million at most.

The management suddenly changed its mind, which was beyond the expectations of Reggie Miller and his agent, but Reggie Miller really wanted to hit the championship. If Ewing could come, it would be a very happy thing for him, so he did not directly reject the new contract offered by the management, and started a new negotiation.

……

It is said that David Frank is in New York, with Jordan. He just contacted the Pacers management, planning to get Ewing to the Pacers, and suddenly received a call from Knicks president Dave Chakot.

"You still want Barkley?"

He was startled, the Knicks are going to trade Oakley?
Jordan next to him also heard it. He had a good relationship with Oakley, so he hurriedly picked up his mobile phone and walked aside, dialing Oakley's number.

"Charles, is the management going to trade you?"

"Michael, who did you listen to?"

"They wanted Barkley."

"Damn it! They took Patrick away, and now they're trying to cleanse me." Oakley on the other end was furious, but there was nothing he could do.

Jordan curled his lips. He knew that Ewing and Oakley teamed up to force the Knicks management during the regular season. This is very suspicious. Once the team chooses to rebuild, it is natural for the old man to be purged.

Oakley's ability is good, rebounding is strong, defense goes without saying, and his mid-range shooting ability is also good, but unfortunately his contract has also ended, and the contract with the Bulls has not yet been negotiated. This time he is here to negotiate a contract with the Knicks, so there is nothing he can do about Oakley.

But if he joins the Knicks, he would rather have Oakley than Barkley.

In the finals, he could see that Barkley was no longer good enough, and Barkley won two championships, and he should enter the retirement state in the future, and he would not play desperately. It is not as easy to use as Oakley.

Over there, David Frank hung up the phone.

Just talked briefly, the Knicks want to build a luxury lineup, center O'Neal, power forward Barkley, small forward Anthony Mason Jr., shooting guard Jordan, point guard Derek Harper, so Oakley and John Starks need to be traded.

With this lineup, if Jordan's contract is settled, Barkley's contract will also have some problems, which cannot be accommodated at all.

O'Neal signed with the bird rights, occupying a virtual space of 855 million, Mason's next season's 278 million, and Harper's 130 million. These three people occupy a total of 1263 million.

Now the Knicks mean to talk to Jordan first, but asked David Frank not to rush to find a home for Barkley. He just agreed. Anyway, tomorrow is the day to negotiate with the Knicks, and it won't take long.

"If I came to the Knicks, I would rather have Oakley." Jordan said.

David Frank was taken aback, and immediately nodded, but he didn't contact the Knicks again. He knew that Barkley would not come to the Knicks. It was impossible for the Knicks to give Barkley a decent contract.

……

In Houston, Dameng was about to sign a contract with his agent. The car was almost at the headquarters. Suddenly his agent received a call from Lakers general manager Jerry West, and the car stopped on the side of the road.

"Hakeem, 7000 million in five years, the Lakers want you." After hanging up the phone, agent Dan Fagan excitedly said to Dameng.

"what?"

Big Dream was also a little excited.

"Hakeem, let's go to the Lakers."

Feigen said excitedly: "Although it's only 500 million more, that's money, right? And with the Lakers, you should be able to get more business resources."

"To the Lakers?"

Dameng gritted his teeth, suddenly took out his cell phone, called Barkley, and said, "Charles, I'm going to the Lakers. You can ask David Frank to renegotiate the contract with the management. I'll leave the space to you."

Hearing this, Dan Fagan next to him couldn't help laughing, turned on the turn signal, changed gears and refueled, and his car turned around.

After hearing what Dameng said, Barkley was startled for a moment, and then laughed and scolded: "Hakim, you bastard, you found a better pier and gave me the space? I'll go to yours!"

"Haha, so be it, I'm going to negotiate a contract with the Lakers now."

Dameng hung up the phone with a smile, and asked Fagan: "Where is the Lakers?"

"I will finalize the contract with Jerry West immediately." Dan Fagan said excitedly.

A few minutes later, the phone call ended, and he said excitedly, "It's finished, Hakeem, I'll go to Los Angeles right away to sign a bilateral agreement with the Lakers, and finalize the contract first, so that there will be no change of mind."

"OK, I'll wait for your news." Dameng smiled.

As long as the bilateral agreement is signed, it means that the contract is finalized, and the contract can be formally signed only after the free market opens.
