Super Evolution of Basketball

Chapter 614 What's the joke?
Since entering the offseason, this is the first time that the Magic has hung up the call of Paul George's team so readily.

"Paul has been refusing to say anything until now. He really doesn't have any affection for the Lakers. He obviously cooperated well in the past half season. I don't know what is going on in this guy's head."

The magician was talking to himself, he was worried, so he still told Yuan Qingshan the result.

Yuan Qingshan is training Kuzma, and today there is Terrence Ross, who also came to train.

When Yuan Qingshan was on the phone with the magician, Tyronn Louros asked Kuzma in a low voice: "Has the Lakers' training always been like this? It's simply hell."

Kuzma gasped: "Today's training volume is relatively small, Terrence, you should feel lucky for yourself, you can come to such a team."

Terrence Ross raised his eyebrows and stared at Kuzma: "I said, who have you been brainwashed by?"

Kuzma didn't hear what he said, and looked at the figure standing on the sidelines with a look of admiration on the phone.

After training in the afternoon, Yuan Qingshan invited Kuzma and Terrence Ross to visit the Zijin Villa. As soon as they arrived at the lobby, Yuan Qingshan heard a beep and the system pushed a message.

The Raptors sent Marc Gasol, Siakam and several future first-round picks to get maximum salary space.

Paul George commits to signing!

"Hassan, come down!" Yuan Qingshan yelled upstairs, and then said to the two of Kuzma: "Let Hassan show you around, and I will go back to the room."

Of course the rookies Kuzma and Terrence Ross had no objections. After a while, footsteps came from the second floor.

Yuan Qingshan returned to his room, and immediately turned on the system to check the details of the message.

The person who broke the news was not WOJ, but a local media in Toronto. Yuan Qingshan pulled out the salary space of the Raptors. Marc Gasol’s salary is 2250 million, and there are 3 years left. Siakam’s salary is 183 million, and there are 2 years left.

It stands to reason that Gasol must still have gas in his gas tank. Under the current salary cap, a contract of 2250 million yuan is acceptable. There are two reasons why he has to pay high-quality top-ups to send it away.

These two reasons caused them to suffer. Obviously, in order to form a combination of Kawhi Leonard and Paul George, they are going all out.

Buzzing, the phone vibrates, and Yuan Qingshan connects.

"Yuan Qingshan, have you seen the rumors, that Paul guy actually went to contact the Raptors without saying a word!" Magic Johnson's voice was full of anger.

It's really annoying, the team of Paul George and Kawhi Leonard has always been inducing the Lakers to reserve maximum salary space for them, and as a result, the two of them have been quietly planning to team up in private.

"This is blatant discrimination and deception! We should send them to court!" The magician became more and more angry.

Yuan Qingshan was relatively calm: "Erwin, now is not the time to talk about this, hurry up and use our space."

"You're right, I want to contact Covington and Jeff Green right away." After speaking, he seemed to regret it again: "No, I'm going to call and scold Paul's agent."

Yuan Qingshan smiled: "Come on, we have already expected this result since the day we didn't believe in Paul, didn't we? After all, he has fought with us, and he has also contributed to the championship. Let's respect his choice."

"I'm not as generous as you, but now is really not the time to fight with them, I have to hurry up."

The magician ended the call, and immediately drove to Laughlin's house. At this time, a shrewd and capable woman like Laughlin was the most reliable.

After this incident, Yuan Qingshan is not in the mood to stay with Kuzma and Terrence Ross now. He lay down on the bed and fell asleep after a while.

The next day was full of Kawhi Leonard, Paul George and the Raptors.

Everyone was dumbfounded. It turned out that Leonard's team said they wanted to cooperate with a superstar, and this superstar was Paul George.

No wonder Paul George hasn't contacted the Lakers since the Finals.

But then why did he and Leonard ask the Lakers to keep the maximum salary space? It's really strange to ask others to leave room for him, even though he doesn't want to renew his contract with the Lakers.

Although Yuan Qingshan didn't say it on the surface, he would definitely feel uncomfortable when his team was played like this, so he didn't go to the training hall these days, which made Kuzma and Terrence Ross very happy. The two guys walked around Los Angeles together and experienced the feeling of living in Archangel City.

This day Yuan Qingshan was taking a nap in Zijin Villa, buzz, buzz, buzz, the phone vibrated again.

The call is connected.

"Ha ha!"

The magician's iconic laugh came.

Yuan Qingshan was puzzled: "Have you signed with Covington, or have the replacements' contract extensions been settled?"

"It's definitely more fun than this!" The magician revealed excitement in every tone of his voice: "The Raptors' deal is blown."

"What?" Yuan Qingshan was surprised. In order to clear the maximum salary space, the Raptors signed Paul George, and sent Marc Gasol, Siakam and the first-round pick to the New York Knicks, the big payroll.

Now that the magician said the deal was blown, could it be that something went wrong with New York?
Magician: "You would never have imagined that after the physical examinations on both sides, New York immediately questioned Marc Gasol's health. They suspected that the Raptors deliberately concealed information or induced it. The league recognized New York's statement, so the two sides are now deadlocked."

Yuan Qingshan: "Could it be that the Raptors concealed Mark's health in order to facilitate the transaction?"

The magician said in a relaxed tone, "Or maybe New York kept such a hand on purpose, who knows."

Yuan Qingshan: "Well, no matter what, this has nothing to do with us, let's focus on our own family affairs."

The magician suddenly raised his tone: "Then guess what?"

"how?"

He said this without beginning or end, how could Yuan Qingshan guess.

The magician didn't wait for Yuan Qingshan to guess, and he couldn't wait to announce: "Paul George's agent uncle contacted me again last night and told me that his team wants him to return to the Lakers!"

Are you kidding me?
Yuan Qingshan was speechless: "How do you answer?"

The magician laughed and said, "I said I want to go back to the Lakers? Yes, let's go to the NBDL to exercise first! Our roster is already full, and Paul can strive for a place before and after the All-Stars, but I can't guarantee it!"

"Hey, maybe this is all the operation of Paul's team, and it has nothing to do with Paul." Yuan Qingshan said.

Magician: "Don't be naive, this is what Paul George meant. Forget it, don't disappoint. In short, we are pursuing Covington with all our strength. It is estimated that there will be a result in a day or two. I called you just to share with you the joy of being beaten by someone."

Yuan Qingshan: "Come on, you are just a bad taste."
