Chapter 197 Maximum Salary Contract! !
There was a sudden silence in the small meeting room, and everyone stared blankly at Pitino who gritted his teeth and stared at him.

After a while, after Bruce took a deep breath, he looked at Pitino firmly and said, "I agree to this deal!!"

Hearing Bruce's words, both O'Connor and Nelson looked at the serious-faced Bruce with jealousy, really wishing that this deal happened to them now!

"Aha, congratulations!" Seeing that the three parties in the transaction had obtained satisfactory bargaining chips, Nelson suddenly said to the three.

Seeing that Bruce finally agreed to the deal, Pitino couldn't help but let out a long sigh!
Previously, because he had discussed the specific trade with Nelson and O'Connor, and finally failed to take shape, he brought Bruce's Warriors in.

Now seeing that all parties have obtained what they wanted, they immediately said with a happy face: "Since we have reached an agreement, let us enjoy the joy of success!"

Subsequently, the managers of the four teams respectively made some discussions on the details of the transaction.

In the end, the Warriors paid Foyle and Alston for Danny Fortson of the Celtics and $80 in cash compensation from the Jazz.

The Jazz paid the first-round pick and Howard Eisley plus $80 in cash, and sent them to the Warriors and Celtics respectively!

The Celtics paid Danny Fortson and Dana Barros for Robert Parker, Rod Williams, part of the cash and a first-round pick from the Jazz, respectively, from the Mavericks.

The Mavericks sent the above two and Bruno Sandov to the Celtics and Jazz respectively, and finally they got Dana Barros, Ralph Alston and Howard Eisley!

With the completion of a big deal involving a total of 9 players from the four teams, after researching with O'Connor, Bruce acquired Foyle and Fortson in a sign-and-trade manner for 4 years and 2400 million US dollars respectively!

On August 8, when the news that the Warriors and several other teams completed the transaction was completed with the approval of the league, all the media in the United States frantically published this news in newspapers and TV news!
The news of the Warriors and several other teams also kicked off the prelude to this summer's big deal!
As free agents were signed by various teams, the high-profile Duncan suddenly jumped into the eyes of the media!

On August 8, while preparing for the Olympics, Duncan held a press conference specifically for his decision.

In this press conference, Duncan firmly announced that he would stay in San Antonio, which also made the fans and citizens of the Holy City cheer like a festival!

Bruce looked at the newspaper in his hand, a trace of helplessness flashed across his face, thinking that in order to keep this super giant, the holy city had put up a huge number of "Keep it! Tim!!" billboards in all conspicuous places in the city. , I suddenly felt a burst of relief for this lovely city, and their efforts were not wasted in vain!
According to insiders of the Spurs, what they signed with Duncan is a four-year contract with a total value of about 4500 million US dollars. HUGE CONTRACT!
"Duncan is such a smart guy!" Thinking of the final contract Duncan signed with the Spurs, he couldn't help but admire this seemingly dull guy and his agent!
After the four-team deal ended, Bruce basically looked down on the free agent market a lot.

Having this kind of thinking is also the result of his helplessness, because the joining of Fortson has basically exhausted the salary space of the Warriors, although there is still less than 100 million US dollars to sign a veteran or multiple players with a basic salary. With a certain amount of room to operate during the season, he can only temporarily give up this exciting summer!

With Duncan's decision to stay behind, all teams have turned their attention to the other three superstars!

Just two days after Duncan announced that he would stay in San Antonio, the Magic suddenly detonated the entire United States with a piece of explosive news!
Grant Hill finally got a taste of his long-cherished wish, and he joined the Orlando Magic as he wished.

Because of his own reasons, it caused great trouble to the Pistons, so during the transaction, Hill readily agreed with Joe Dumars' decision to sign first and then trade!
Last season, a huge conflict suddenly broke out between Hill and the Pistons management. According to his wishes, he did not want to be a pure offensive player, but a player like his idol "Magician" Al Wen Johnson is average, a very lethal player on both ends of the offense and defense!

This idea has just been discussed with the Pistons management, and they have been denied it all the time!
Hill's super scoring ability makes the Pistons unwilling to let him become an organizer or a leading player on the defensive end. What they need is Hill's scoring ability!
Therefore, after the coordination between the two parties failed, an irreparable rift suddenly appeared in the subsequent cooperation!

With the completion of the transaction, Hill officially became a member of the Magic. According to the general manager of the Magic, Gabriel told the media, they will win the much-loved player with a 7-year super maximum salary contract of 9300 million US dollars. An eye-catching superstar.

With Hill joining, all Orlando fans are looking forward to the future of this team!
Within a week after Hill signed with the Magic, another supernova gradually came into the eyes of the media!

"Tracy, have you really decided?" The general manager of the Raptors had a look of desperation on his face, looking lonely at McGrady who had made his final choice!
"Sorry, Mike, I have made my final decision!!" Tracy McGrady said firmly, he has had enough of this annoying place, and he has had enough of the indifferent football market here. It's maximum exposure and that bling trophy!

In the headquarters of the Magic team, Gabriel was excitedly waiting for McGrady's arrival. With the joining of Hill two days ago, McGrady, who had hesitated before, was finally about to make his final decision.

Gabriel literally trembled with excitement at this exciting news, since O'Neill left the city, he has been under tremendous pressure.

And now he can finally feel elated, and he doesn't have to endure the pressure from fans and bosses again and again!

When McGrady's figure appeared in the small meeting room, Gabriel rushed to greet him: "Welcome, Tracy!!"

McGrady was as excited as Gabriel. Although he failed to get the salary he wanted, with Hill joining, he would have a chance to win the championship. So what is a little money?

"John, I'm very glad to meet you!" McGrady greeted the other party in a very good mood, and then, accompanied by his manager, the three of them sat down slowly!
"John, you must have already assessed Tracy's value, so we don't want to keep hesitating like this. As long as you offer a contract that satisfies my customers, I don't think Tracy will mind being a part of the Magic team." Part of it!"

Gabriel looked at McGrady's manager, thought of the previous rumors and McGrady's pretentious remarks, and already had a conclusion in his heart!

"Tracey has the potential of a superstar, but you also know that we have already spent a huge amount of salary space on Grant, so we will also use this same maximum salary contract!" Gabriel looked at McGrady excitedly With his manager's expression, a smug flash of pride flashed in his eyes very quickly!
Because Gabriel has already been operating this explosive year, Gabriel won more than 2000 million US dollars in salary space this summer after frenzied transactions, which also made him not hesitate to sign Hill and Tracy McGrady. So they were given the same maximum salary contract.

Although he will get two superstars to join as he wishes and even had the opportunity to get the No.3 superstar before, he will lose some resources in role players and some good substitute players, which is also Gabriel's helplessness!
Hearing Gabriel's offer, McGrady looked at his agent in surprise, and then with his agent's approval, a formal contract was signed with the signatures of the Magic and Marty one after another!
"Mad Conjuring," "The Shocking John Gabriel!" ", "Magic is about to become the favorite to win the championship next season! ! ! "

One after another, the news marked in red was published on the headlines of the major newspapers one after another. Among them was an article that analyzed the prospects of the Magic team very optimistically!

"Since the Magic have gained a lot of salary space under Gabriel's operation, this has made other teams in the league raise their vigilance against them!"

"Because the Magic aren't that loathsome team, the 'Bulls,' no one doubts they'll make a big move in free agency!"

"Now, with the two superstars Grant Hill and Tracy McGrady settled in Orlando, this team that was ridiculed because of Shaquille O'Neal's departure finally sees the hope of winning the championship!"

"Although they failed to win the third superstar, everyone saw Tim Duncan's original schedule!"

"With these two superstars joining the Magic, they will definitely become one of the most powerful teams in the Eastern Conference and even in the league!"

Bruce looked at the newspaper in his hand with a wry smile. After reading this article, he shook his head and closed it. Thinking of all the past life, he couldn't help but muttered regretfully: "If Hill stays healthy, what a wonderful team this is. Excited team!"

With the conclusion of the two joining the Magic, Eddie Jones, who has not yet signed a new club, suddenly became the focus of everyone in the league!
While everyone was discussing the future of the Magic, only two days later a piece of news suddenly made the entire league focus on the upcoming Sydney Olympics!
