The strongest champion puzzle

Chapter 327 Disagreement
Zhang Xiaotian looked at the message and was a little speechless. Draymond Green sent him a message with a look of familiarity.

This guy just got a good contract. Although it's not a maximum salary, it's a good deal for his position.

Swinging players forward is risky.

Zhang Xiaotian has already returned to the United States, James called for the second time, he must give face.

Now the most sincere one is the Raptors. They have offered a four-year contract worth 6000 million yuan. It should be possible to talk about it. The team also has good strength, but it is always difficult to make up your mind when you think of going to Toronto.

It’s too far north, Cleveland already feels like the limit, and the Celtics are the same, but the Celtics are the ancient giants after all. In terms of climate and environment, Zhang Xiaotian is still used to places such as the Spurs and the Heat.

Returning to the Cavaliers and winning the championship, James is in a good mood.

But to leave this lineup to build a dynasty, James is also heartbroken.

The chat with Zhang Xiaotian this time was directly at home, and he had already talked with other people before.

The team definitely can't maintain the original lineup. Everyone has been in the league for so long and knows that after winning the championship, everyone's worth will increase, especially if they win the championship this time without two generals.

Even if they didn't play in the end, the worth of Irving and Love will not change, but the worth of others will be even higher.

Ditch some overpriced role players and find cheap replacements, basically the same thing most teams do after winning the championship.

The price of team members after winning the championship will be a bit inflated, but they are also worth the price. The experience in the finals is very important, but it doesn't matter to the winning team.

It is a very artistic thing to keep someone and give up those players.

Some players leave and disappear, and some players leave and grow into real stars, it depends on the team's vision.

Zhang Xiaotian is definitely good, but to what extent he is good, in fact, every coach who has coached him is a little unclear. Apart from the skill, the players he cooperates with are all powerful all-stars who control the overall situation.

Whether he is the best helper or can be the boss by himself is not sure.

"Brother, let's have a drink first."

Like Popovich, James also likes to play with red wine in his free time.

Zhang Xiaotian was not in a hurry, and slowly listened to James explaining about famous wines.

"Zhang, I asked about the situation. Not long ago, they quoted you 800 million for four years. This is definitely not enough, but it is also a step for the team. Let's sit down and talk about it. How can there be a suitable result? .”

"Man, to be honest, there have been no teams in the league that have been able to establish a dynasty for some years. After establishing a dynasty, not only my historical status has been improved, but you can also enter the Hall of Fame."

"Go to an uncompetitive team as the core and get a maximum salary? We can't just look at the temporary benefits, exposure, advertising revenue, and future status. What we reap at this stage will be wealth for a lifetime. You have the opportunity Players who seek historical status, as long as we are together."

"I also cut my salary when I joined the Heat. Why, because there will be more gains in other areas. Believe me, I know this league very well. Annual salary is not everything."

Zhang Xiaotian understood what James meant very well. The team added more money, and then he cut his salary to stay. Everyone is happy.

James also didn't realize Zhang Xiaotian's true value. He invited people over to chat now, and he didn't put Zhang Xiaotian on an equal footing with him.

He wants to be the Jordan of the Cavaliers, Zhang Xiaotian and others are Pippen and Rodman to help him build a dynasty, hello, hello, hello everyone.

James is now high-spirited. Although the media's boasting did not make him dizzy, he still believes that the No. 1 in the league is genuine and far ahead of the players behind.

A player like Zhang Xiaotian can only become a Hall of Fame-level existence if he follows him. Otherwise, Jordan can win the championship with Kukoc without Rodman, and Pippen, who has left Jordan, will not be able to compete for the championship again.

The taste of red wine in Zhang Xiaotian’s mouth only felt a bit bitter, he smiled helplessly: “Boss LeBron, I know your kindness, but now more than one team has offered me a good contract, and some of them have the ability to compete for the championship.” I would love to stay and build a dynasty, but I need enough respect."

It’s been a while since Zhang Xiaotian called someone the boss. It’s not that he’s just showing off when he’s worth a lot. Now that he’s also an All-Star player, it’s no longer appropriate to call someone the boss when he first entered the league. Unspoken rules.

He said he was willing to stay, but in fact, he already had the taste of rejection. Under James' interrogation, the team was still not sincere enough, and Zhang Xiaotian was a little displeased.

James was also a little displeased, he was a lobbyist himself, and Zhang Xiaotian's attitude was a little ignorant.

Unlike Tristan Thompson, Tristan Thompson and him are the same agent and his younger brother, where he can scold a few words and help ask for a high salary.

Zhang Xiaotian and him are not in the same agency, the lineup of sneakers is different, and they are not black brothers. He has done his best to achieve this level.

Are the other teams vying for the strength of the championship putting pressure on him? He doesn't believe that there is still a team that can beat James. It's not the Cavaliers, but his strength is unmatched.

Zhang Xiaotian has a big heart, but he is able to play, and he also attracts the defense. If he is confident, he can completely limit Zhang Xiaotian.

"Brother, I've made it very clear. Even if you stay here with a lower salary, you will get more benefits. After we establish a dynasty, you will also get a higher maximum salary." James said a little impatiently.

Zhang Xiaotian drank the red wine in his glass in one gulp, stood up and said, "I still have something to do, so don't bother me. My agent is still talking to the team. If the team has enough sincerity, I will stay. Otherwise, it will only be on the field." See you."

"You..." James was furious, but he immediately controlled his emotions and said coldly, "Well, I hope you can make the right choice."

After leaving, Zhang Xiaotian communicated with Eddie. He asked Eddie to divide the negotiations into two directions. For a four-year contract, the maximum salary should be negotiated. In addition, short-term contracts can also be discussed, just like the previous ones.

If it is the Raptors, he will definitely need a maximum salary to pass, but then his salary will surpass DeRozan and Lowry to become the team's No.1.

The conditions for the Celtics can be a little more relaxed, but they can't be too short of the maximum salary. In addition, he needs team status, and the situation of the Warriors is not too bad.

He can also make a little concession when renewing the contract with the Cavaliers, but not a lot.

It's a pity that the team he most wanted to go to didn't spend a lot of energy on him, otherwise he wouldn't need to think about it.
