Basketball's best forward and guard

Chapter 127 128 [One-week appointment]

An hour later, the second team that met with Jiang Hao was the San Antonio Spurs. This was specially arranged by Jiang Hao. He gave the Spurs enough respect, because anyway, the Spurs were his first home after entering the NBA. .

The Spurs delegation was led by general manager Buford, and surprisingly, Tim Duncan was one of them.

"Jiang, the San Antonio Spurs are a team you know, so I don't need to say more about the specific feeling. We can directly make an offer to you, that is, we will give you a four-year contract worth 8400 million U.S. dollars. , you know, that's our limit"

Buford has to admit, he may be the toughest general manager in the league.

"Mr. RC Buford, I have to remind you that San Antonio is just a small city, and Jiang is destined to become a super giant and even the face of the league. If he stays in the Spurs, then 4 million in 8400 years, don't you think this Is it the price of cabbage?"

Rich Paul spoke, this is what he has to do as an agent, because unlike the Los Angeles Lakers, playing in the San Antonio Spurs, superstars really can only rely on wages in many cases, and there is really no way to say off-court income.

As Jiang Hao's agent, he felt that this situation was not allowed. This is why he did not want Jiang Hao to stay in the Spurs. With Jiang Hao's income shrinking, and with his income also shrinking.

Most importantly, this will make many players doubt Rich Paul's ability to fight for the interests of his players. This is undoubtedly a very bad situation.

"Before discussing the salary, I want to know the team's expected lineup for next season. We all know that Manu has retired, and whether it is Tony or Rudy, the contract has expired."

Jiang Hao also spoke immediately.

"We decided to keep you, which means that both Rudy Gay, Kyle Anderson, and Bertans need to leave. As for Tony, I'm afraid he has to leave too. Of course, Tony's departure is not because the salary cannot be negotiated. , but he hopes to get more playing time"

Chief assistant Messina answered Jiang Hao's question.

Frankly speaking, after hearing Messina's answer, Jiang Hao was not in a good mood.

"What about Kawhi? Things have come to this point, we don't have to hide them at night. Are you sure to eliminate the conflict with Kawhi? I can hardly imagine that the Spurs without Kawhi will still have the strength to defend the title next season "

This is what Jiang Hao said in his heart, and it is also one of the other factors he hopes for the Spurs, because although he won the FMVP of the just-concluded finals, he is sure that Kawhi Leonard is really strong.

"There is indeed an impasse between us and Kawhi right now, but Jiang, I will have a one-on-one communication with Kawhi, and I think Kawhi will follow my advice"

Jiang Hao likes Tim Duncan's confident tone very much, but when time is running out, he doesn't want to listen to anyone's verbal guarantee, he wants to see specific actions.

"One week, one week at most, I will announce my final decision on the 7th, so you must give me a clear answer on Kawhi's question before the 7th"

Jiang Hao didn't mention Gregg Popovich's retirement, nor did he ask Buford about the Spurs' head coach for the new season, because he knows very well that it doesn't make much sense to ask him now.

Jiang Hao did not directly refuse to stay. For Buford and the others, this is already very good news.

So, after leaving the hotel, Buford and the others immediately rushed to Los Angeles, where they were going to have a formal conversation with Kawhi Leonard's team.

On Jiang Hao's side, after seeing off the Spurs delegation, they ushered in the last team they met today, the Los Angeles Clippers.

The Clippers delegation is led by Mr. West, the logo man. In addition, there are head coach Doc Rivers and team operations director Patrick.

For Jiang Hao, he will never forget the Los Angeles Clippers team, although he has never played for this team, nor has he accumulated any grievances with this team in the playoffs.

But he played against the Los Angeles Clippers for the first time in this league.

It is no exaggeration to say that the Los Angeles Clippers are his springboard.

"Mr. Xinke FMVP, you are the best rising star in this league. In my opinion, you will officially become No.1 in the league in the near future, and the Los Angeles Clippers will provide you with all conditions."

"Other than that, we actually like you and Kawhi Leonard, and I don't want to hide, we're reaching out to Kawhi Leonard's team at the same time, and our plan is that you and Kawhi keep working together"

The opening remarks of the logo man, Mr. West, directly made Jiang Hao confused.

Let Kawhi Leonard and myself get together in the Los Angeles Clippers, how much courage and ambition is required to make such a decision.

And what he has to admit is that at this moment he was a little moved, because the Clippers' current lineup is basically balanced. Even if Kawhi Leonard needs to pay some price to join, as long as he and Leonard It's not a big deal if Germany can get together in fast travel. Next season's Clippers will become the league's top team.

Of course, the biggest question now is, even if the Spurs can't keep Leonard, will they make a deal with the Los Angeles Clippers?
In addition, the Clippers want to become a powerful player in the league in the new season. Are they fully prepared?
Everyone knows that there is only one king in Los Angeles, and that is the Los Angeles Lakers. In this case, even if he and Leonard get together in the Clippers, life may not be easy.

"The Los Angeles Lakers have been in a low period for a long time. In the post-Kobe era, the Lakers management has made a series of stupid decisions. I'm sure they will still be in this situation for the next few years. And it happens to be Our chance to rise, isn't it? With you and Kawhi Leonard's popularity, the Los Angeles Clippers have a chance to become the new king of Los Angeles in the shortest time possible."

Seemingly hearing the meaning of Jiang Hao's words, West directly explained to Jiang Hao.

"On my tactical board, both you and Kawhi will have far more autonomy than you have in the Spurs, and the team will be completely centered on the two of you."

As the head coach of the Clippers, Doc Rivers clearly knows what a young player like Jiang Hao wants most.

And he once followed Gregg Popovich, so he didn't want to discuss those boring tactics with Jiang Hao.

He only needs to say one thing, that is "ball possession". He is sure that Jiang Hao will be tempted.
