Showdown, I'm the God of Basketball

Chapter 240 The Treacherous Kupchak
Zhao Hao knew the seriousness of the problem from the text message, so he could only bid farewell to James and the others, and then immediately took the same day's flight back to Los Angeles.

At this time, Lao Zhan was not in a hurry to ask why, but just gave Zhao Hao a big hug, and then said softly.

"As long as you don't take the initiative to go to other teams, I will definitely convince the general manager to get you!"

Zhao Hao was stunned for a moment, then glanced at Lao Zhan inexplicably.

What do you mean?
This sentence is probably the main purpose of you, James, for inviting me here today!

It's just that Zhao Hao didn't bother to think about what this sentence meant at this time.

Because he was anxious about Aden's affairs, he could only put those words aside and hurry back.

After Zhao Hao left completely, Wade suddenly walked up to James and said.

"You want him?"

James was a little surprised when he heard this sentence, but when he turned around and saw that it was Wade, he felt accustomed to it.

"You still can't hide anything from you, but the Lakers won't let anyone go, and the asking price is also very high."

Wade nodded and said in agreement: "The pizza you like, the movie you like to watch, the book you like to read... I even know the underwear you like to wear, so you think you can hide it from me?
However, the Lakers are also rebuilding, and it would take a lot of bleeding for them to let go.

Of course, even if the Cavaliers get Zhao Hao, they can't beat the Heat, you know. "

James gave him a blank look, and said speechlessly, "You won't know until you fight."

When Zhao Hao rushed to the apartment, besides Aden and Eve, there was another person in the room.

Lakers general manager Kupchak!
It turns out that this is what Aden is anxious about. It seems that Kupchak is going to talk about his contract.

The old and cunning Kupchak first smiled and said: "Finally when you come back, Zhao Hao, let's talk about the contract."

Zhao Hao was inexplicably surprised, and said somewhat warily: "The trading market has not yet opened, even if it is between July 7st and July 1th, no player can sign any contracts."

"Don't be funny, those are all for others to see, let's take a look at your new contract, it's a bit tempting."

At this time, Kupchak looked familiar and took out a contract from the document bag in his hand.

Aden also carefully took a look at the contract first, and then said: "The contract given by the Lakers is 3 million for three years, plus the team option for the last year."

"That's an annual salary of 500 million. You must know that most of last year's rookies still have an annual salary of about 100 million. You can make a lot of money."

Kupchak also spoke at this time.

Ah.

Hearing this amount, Zhao Hao was completely speechless.

3 million in 1500 years, with team options, such a contract can be obtained even by a rotation substitute.

What's more, he has shown his value on the court last season, especially in the playoffs.

Therefore, he is very sure that any team will not offer himself such a low contract.

"I will not accept such an amount, nor will I accept the condition of the team option." Zhao Hao said firmly.

Kupchak seemed to have expected this result a long time ago, so he was not surprised at all at this time, but continued to speak with a smile.

"Okay, I know the amount of this contract is indeed a bit low, so how about 3 million for three years?
I don't have to choose the team option, or even change it to a player option! "

Zhao Hao looked like an idiot.

The same goes for Aden.

Eve didn't show any emotion, but she squeezed the apple hard and crushed it.

Kupchak looked at the three of them as if they had seen a ghost, and quickly took a breath and continued.

"Then 3 million in 2000 years?
This is already close to the annual salary of 700 million!
You must know that the maximum salary you can get at present is only 1100 million a year, which is already exaggerated enough. "

To be honest, although Zhao Hao knew that he would have a market in this offseason, he didn't know how much he was worth.

Therefore, when Kupchak proposed 3 million in three years, he was really hesitant.

At this time, Aden finally proved that he was not just for nothing, and quickly reminded him: "The Jazz have already talked with us, the annual salary is 800 million!

If the Lakers do not choose to match, then we will immediately go to Salt Lake City. "

Ok?
The Jazz have already negotiated with me, how could I not know!
When Zhao Hao was in a daze, Aden hurriedly gave him a sneaky look.

Only then did Zhao Hao realize that you, Aden, were fooling people again!
At this time, Kupchak's face gradually changed from joy to seriousness, and he even directly put away the contract and said clearly.

"If that's the case, then we don't pretend anymore.

Zhao Hao, the Lakers are planning to trade you now, and the deal has almost been negotiated.

So don't think about going to other teams. Even if the Jazz offer an annual salary of 800 million, we will choose to match. "

At this time, Zhao Hao finally understood Kupchak's little thoughts.

It turned out that after signing him, he would immediately carry out the next transaction.

It's no wonder that after he offered the contract, he was free to even choose the team option.

Because the Lakers were going to trade him!

This operation also made Zhao Hao lose his last thoughts about the Lakers and Kobe.

Because of Kupchak's death, now he just wants to leave the Lakers as soon as possible.

It's just that Zhao Hao is curious, who is the team that wants to trade him?

Cavaliers?
After the contract collapsed, Kupchak also left in a displeased manner.

He really wasn't worried about any changes in Zhao Hao's deal.

After all, the right to match is in the hands of the Lakers, so he is not in a hurry.

Didn't you say that the Jazz will offer you an annual salary of 800 million? Well, after the trading market appears, see how many teams will offer you such bargaining chips.

A player who can't even hold the ball and can only be a spot-up shooter, he really can't believe it's worth so much money.

After Kupchak left completely, Zhao Hao asked, "The Jazz really paid me 800 million?"

Aden shook his head helplessly and said, "The Jazz didn't make the playoffs this season, and apart from Boozer and Kirilenko, they don't have any good players.

Therefore, there is no doubt that they want to grab people this offseason.

After all, they used the same method to snatch Boozer from the Cavaliers before. "

Hearing this, Zhao Hao couldn't help sighing, which meant that the Jazz didn't offer any offer at all.

At this time, Aden also continued on the sidelines: "The trading market has not yet opened, and many teams that are interested in robbing players dare not rob people with great fanfare.

They are also afraid of causing looting by other teams, so only after July 7 will they know how many teams need us.

However, I have heard the news that the Eagles are going to pursue Joe Johnson with a maximum salary contract!
After the Suns have Sean Marion and Nash, it is impossible to match such a contract. "

Zhao Hao understood what Aden meant.

His numbers this season are almost on par with Joe Johnson's.

So taking advantage of the fact that there are not many big fish in the free market this year, there should be other teams offering him the same contract.

But Zhao Hao knew very well that the biggest difference between him and Joe Johnson was that he couldn't hold the ball last season!

This should dissuade many teams.
