Showdown, I'm the God of Basketball

Chapter 242 Four-Party Transaction
In the Grizzlies general manager's office, Jerry West, the LOGO man, rubbed his brows angrily.

He originally wanted to use the rookie Bynum, white chocolate and some draft picks to exchange for Atkinson and Zhao Hao of the Lakers at the same time.

Now it seems that this deal can only die.

Except for the horrible maximum salary given by the Cavaliers, their salary space simply cannot be given.

Also, in West's eyes, Zhao Hao is really not worth so much money.

If it is forcibly changed, it will also become a negative asset, which will limit the team's future reinforcement.

Originally, he only took a fancy to Zhao Hao's three-point shooting ability and the advantage of opening up space, as well as a certain degree of defense.

This can also release Gasol's defensive pressure on the inside to a certain extent.

Originally, 3 million in 2000 years has reached the limit that the Grizzlies can bear, but now it has been raised to 3500 million, which is simply fatal!

At this time, West also quickly made up his mind and told Kupchak on the other end of the phone directly.

"transaction failed!"

Now it was Kupchak's turn to be anxious, he didn't dare to match the terrifying 3 million in three years.

Because this will let Butler go directly next year!

As far as Butler and Zhao Hao are concerned, anyone with a discerning eye can tell that Butler who can hold the ball and play singles is better.

But if they don't match, they can only watch Zhao Hao leave the Lakers in vain. Isn't that completely taken advantage of?
You must know that in the middle of the season, the Cavaliers gave Varejao + first-round pick + second-round pick as trading chips.

At that time, Kupchak didn't agree, and only wanted to get greater benefits in the off-season.

Originally, he had already negotiated a three-way deal with the Wizards, Grizzlies, and Lakers, but now
The key is that the potential rookie Bynum he has been paying attention to has also been selected by the Grizzlies!

"No, I must suppress Zhao Hao's last drop of value, and I must not let him slip away for nothing!"

On July 7, the Lakers held a press conference.

Kupchak announced directly on the same day that the Lakers will match the maximum salary contract offered by the Cavaliers.

3 million in 3500 years, and the last year is still a player option.

Of course, at the same time, Kupchak also spoke to the management of the entire league. The Lakers are happy to hear any trade offers about Zhao Hao.

To put it simply, if you want to take Zhao Hao away, you have to spend money!

It's just that that's a three-year maximum salary of 3 million!
Now among the teams in the league, there are not many teams that still have room to take such a big contract.

For a while, there were more discussions in the league about where Zhao Hao was going.

The Jazz, Timberwolves, and Cavaliers are Zhao Hao's most likely next homes.

Of course, when Zhao Hao heard the news, he instinctively thought that there was a high probability that the Cavaliers would not be able to take him down.

As for the Jazz and Timberwolves, it is estimated that there is no play.

After all, the amount of the contract is here, and not every team is as courageous as the Cavaliers and is willing to sign a pitcher with a maximum salary.

Therefore, it is difficult for the Lakers to trade him away!
Just when Zhao Hao thought that he would probably stay with the Lakers next season, James sent him a message.

"The deal is done, we're teammates now!"

Um? ! !
Deal done?
Just when Zhao Hao was in a daze, Aden rushed into the apartment and brought news of a deal.

Wizards, Grizzlies, Lakers, Cavaliers, four-way deal!

The Wizards sent Kwame Brown, who had already been disheartened by him, plus a trade top-up, Laron Proffitt, to get Grant, Ira Newbell, a first-round pick, and two second-round picks right.

The Grizzlies sent Bynum and a future second-round pick to get Atkins and the No. 19 rookie Hakeem Warik signed by the Lakers this year.

As for the Lakers, they sent Zhao Hao, Atkins, Grant, plus No. 19 rookie Hakeem Warrick to get Bynum, Kwame Brown and Laron Profit.

The Cavaliers will send starting shooting guard Ila Nubell, plus a first-round pick in 07 and a second-round pick to get Zhao Hao!
This deal is not about who took advantage of whom.

The Wizards took Grant's premium contract, but got a starting shooting guard Ila Nubell, and a full three draft picks!
Whether the Wizards are trading or rebuilding later, they have the initiative in their hands.

Of course, Zhao Hao knows very well that the Wizards will most likely embark on the road of continued reinforcement.

Because the Wizards only made the playoffs last season, and Grant's strength is still there, he can still strengthen the Wizards' power forward position.

Coupled with the addition of Ira Nubell, the overall strength of the Wizards has risen instead of falling, and they even got the draft pick!
As for the Grizzlies, they also added a much-needed point guard position, and here comes Atkins.

Therefore, there is a high probability that the white chocolate in the team will be traded next.

Of course, the Lakers also got the two most wanted defensive centers as they wished, Kwame Brown and Bynum who still needs to fight monsters and upgrade.

At the same time, they also lost Grant's big contract, and Butler's contract renewal can proceed smoothly.

Of course, the Cavaliers lost the most chips. In addition to the departure of the starting shooting guard, they also took out two draft picks.

This also shows their determination, getting Zhao Hao is to fill the position of starting shooting guard!

Aden finished all the details of the transaction in one breath, and almost died of exhaustion on the spot.

At this time, Zhao Hao couldn't help but let out a long sigh.

He still underestimated the determination of James and the Cavaliers to get him.

This deal is a big deal!

The so-called scholar dies for the confidant, and the woman is the face of the pleasing.

Since Lao Zhan and the Cavaliers have spent so much effort to get him, then he will definitely reciprocate him.

So... Cavaliers, here I come!
On July 7, the four teams officially announced the deal, and the details of the deal were sent to the league headquarters.

As long as the alliance headquarters passes the review, it can be officially announced that the transaction has been completed!
At this time, James couldn't wait any longer, and couldn't wait to send a message to Zhao Hao.

"Aren't you going back to China this offseason? Let's train together, gigigigigigi"

I gi you big head ghost, sure enough, James' future taco gigigi is a sign.

At this time, he began to gibble non-stop, completely iron-headed.

Zhao Hao also couldn't help but start to panic. With James around, there might be a lot of bloody things happening in his career with the Cavaliers in the future.

What the hell! ! !

At this time, Kobe, who had already gone on vacation with Vanessa, also sent a congratulatory message to Zhao Hao.

"Congratulations on signing the first maximum salary of your career. I am very happy to fight side by side with you."

Hey ~
Deep in love, Zhao Hao was a little speechless.

Kobe probably already knew that the Lakers were determined to trade him.

After all, Corvo has done too much to interfere with the transaction midway.

Fortunately, Kobe has done so many things for him, otherwise, I am afraid he will be traded very early.

Even whether he can enter the Lakers to play at the beginning is another matter.

Of course, the NBA is not about riding a horse and drinking to the end of the world. Let's put aside the brotherhood on the court and speak with strength!
So, Zhao Hao really wants to say, Corvo, I am looking forward to when we meet on the battlefield!
At this time, the long-lost system finally released the task.
