The strongest champion puzzle

Chapter 246 Contract Issues
In July, James made public his intention to return to the Cavaliers, causing an uproar in the league.

Heat general manager Pat Riley was very unhappy, and the player's contract renewal work began to accelerate, and there was a feeling of forcing the player to stand in line.

Zhang Xiaotian didn't want to make a decision so early. Could the Heat win the championship without James?

He is a bit biased towards the Rockets now, and Howard still bears the title of the No. [-] center. He has not cooperated with the fifth position at his peak.

The fans are also crooked Zhang Xiaotian's partner Jeremy Lin, but Jeremy Lin was traded away by the Rockets as many people expected.

However, the Rockets' quotation is a bit unsatisfactory, 3000 million for four years, Zhang Xiaotian obviously needs to think carefully.

The most willing to offer is the Mavericks, 600 million for three years, but the third year must be a team option.

In fact, the Nets and Grizzlies are willing to give him 3000 million for three years.

The Wizards and 76ers are unwilling to pay a big price, but player options and short-term contracts can be negotiated. The Hornets want to sign a long-term contract of more than four years, and they are not as happy as the Mavericks.

Players choose the team, and the team will not focus on one player.

Teams that have contacted Eddie will certainly contact other suitable players.

If James hadn't directly chosen to return to the Cavaliers, the free market is expected to explode this summer.

Eddie's opinion is to choose the largest contract and sign it. If you don't make a decision quickly, you may miss the opportunity.

Zhang Xiaotian is not indecisive, he has his own plans.

In another year, he will have the opportunity to sign a maximum salary. With the system in place, he doesn't want to decide so quickly on his path for the next few years.

The other is the reward for winning the championship. His biggest goal is to win the championship.

Although the team that gets him will definitely improve its strength, some teams are not strong enough, like the 76ers, they are directly rejected by him.

Coupled with James' invitation, he still plans to wait for a while.

A few days after James issued the invitation, the Cavaliers reported 800 million for four years, not as good as the Rockets.

Zhang Xiaotian's request is very clear. If the annual salary is less than [-] million yuan, he will definitely have to draft players.

Anyway, all the teams that made offers did not plan to use him as the core of the team, at most they reserved the main position.

It seems that although he is popular, no team is really optimistic about him.

As for those who say that they have a chance to become the successor of the team if they perform well, they are all bluffing children.

Having the opportunity to become a core and being trained as a core are completely different treatments. Zhang Xiaotian is not a rookie who has just entered the league, so he will not be fooled.

What's more, the good sales of the Tianshen series gave him confidence. If the champion's annual salary can't meet his ideal, he will choose the team with the highest exposure.

Because of the improvement in the training room, even if he didn't accomplish anything, he could become stronger, at most slowly.

So his choice is much more flexible than last season.

It's a pity that he is calm and calm, but the team that offered him the offer is unwilling to wait any longer.

The Heat believed that he wanted to coerce the team. After offering 3000 million for three years without giving players options, and Zhang Xiaotian did not immediately agree, the Heat won Luol Deng for 2000 million in two years.

The Wizards also chose to give up. They couldn't give Zhang Xiaotian the status he wanted, and finally chose the cheaper veteran Pierce.

Then there is the Mavericks. The Mavericks think they are sincere enough and Zhang Xiaotian is holding it too much. In fact, their goal is not only Zhang Xiaotian. They won Parsons for 600 million in three years.

To get such a big contract, Parsons doesn't care about player options at all, which is much more neat than Zhang Xiaotian's side.

The main reason for the Mavericks is that Nowitzki is no longer at his peak, and he will hesitate if the team does not have a super scorer.

Zhang Xiaotian felt a little sorry for missing out on a ten-million-level contract, but thinking about it, everyone was just negotiating a price. Even if he agreed, the Mavericks might not choose him.

Next, the Rockets he was interested in didn't wait for him, and welcomed Ariza back. Zhang Xiaotian's choice was greatly reduced.

The Hornets are not willing to wait, but the Nets and Grizzlies are not in a hurry.

Over at Tuhao.com, to be honest, he dislikes the opponent's strength a bit. They haven't rushed this season. Garnett, singles Joe and others are one year older. Deron is unreliable. Lopez doesn't know how to recover. to what extent.

The Grizzlies feel more secure, and there are twin towers, but they also lack super scorers, so at the beginning he was more inclined to the Rockets because the Rockets have a young All-Star Harden.

He didn't make a decision for a long time, and James sent a message again, asking him to go back and discuss in detail, and revealed that the Cavaliers will make big moves.

The next stop for Zhang Xiaotian's brand promotion is also the United States. He has registered a company on both sides, which saves a lot of trouble, but formal sales still need some procedures, and the management methods of both sides will not be the same.

He was not in a hurry, and waited for the work here to stabilize before he flew to the United States with Yang Feiyu.

Yang Feiyu will go back after a while, and the fan activities here are relatively less due to some restrictions. Zhang Xiaotian is a lot more relaxed and can concentrate on negotiating the contract.

Eddie is also very busy this summer, but he understands whose business is the first in the company.

After Zhang Xiaotian came over, he immediately adjusted other matters and was on call 24 hours a day.

Back in the United States, Zhang Xiaotian heard inside information that the Cavaliers are interested in Kevin Love, the second team of the best team, and they want to imitate the Heat four years ago to create a lineup suitable for James.

Kevin Love can pull out and grab rebounds. Except for the problem of assisting defense, he is almost an upgraded version of Bosh.

Keeping the young Irving, plus James and Love, this lineup is really exciting.

But in this way, if Zhang Xiaotian wants to join the knights, the honor will be separated from him again.

You must know that they were so strong last season, and only James entered the best team.

As for the best defensive team, not to mention the core treatment of Paul George, the guy who entered the third team of the best team and can be selected for the first team of the best defensive team, Leonard and Jimmy Butler both made it to the best defensive team The lineup is second.

It was also James who made the Heat's All-Defensive team. Everyone else was pitiful. The Big Three became a hero and three gangs.

Fortunately, the system doesn't care about these honors, otherwise Zhang Xiaotian would have a harder time making a choice.

Zhang Xiaotian was about to have a serious talk with the knight, but the attitude of the knight changed a bit.

With Love in hand, they won't be short of veterans who will come over to hold their thighs. The management boasts that the lineup is stronger than the Heat, so they don't care so much about Zhang Xiaotian.

They don't plan to give tens of millions of annual salary, player options, and want to tie Zhang Xiaotian with a cabbage price contract for a few years.
