All I Really Want Is To Play Basketball
Chapter 648 In the summer of turmoil, friends come and go!
"I Really Just Want to Strike Iron New ()" Find the latest chapter!
For the North Carolina prospect who was ambitious and ready to show off his talents in the NBA, in the past two years, Stackhouse has seen through the nature of this league.
In terms of competitive status, Stackhouse admitted that he has indeed declined compared to the past year.
But in the game, especially when playing for those so-called "promising future" teams, most of the time, Stackhouse knows that the reason why he cannot get more playing time is purely because he blocks These teams have a bright road to the future.
However, as the saying goes, if you ignore me today, tomorrow I will put you beyond your reach.
In the NBA….
As we all know, when these capable veterans who can still play enter the contract year, teams that aim to compete for the championship will often pounce on them like a pack of hungry tigers.
And Stackhouse is no exception.
In the 0506 season, the 32-year-old Stackhouse averaged 12.4 points, 3.5 rebounds and 1.8 assists per game while playing 24 minutes per game.
Although its overall shooting percentage is still less than 40% as always...
But since most of Stackhouse's shots come from outside three-pointers, his true shooting percentage on the court will be higher than that of some outside players who don't like to shoot three-pointers.
Therefore, these days, when Stackhouse learned from his agent that many teams were interested in him...
For a moment, Stackhouse, who recalled his experiences in the past two years, simply became angry.
Eh~
Didn’t you all think that I was a salary burden before, and you still kicked me around like a ball?
Ah.......
It means that not long after this, I have become a favorite in your eyes again?
All right!
If that's the case, then just listen to me!
Master, even if I starve to death or die of poverty today, I will not accept your offer!
You know, I am a noble North Carolina beauty!
Haven't you ever heard the saying, "North Carolinians, North Carolina soul, North Carolina are all superstars"?
"Hey Jerry, what have you been doing lately?"
On the morning of the 1st, just before Pierce announced that he was joining the Trail Blazers, Su Feng, who was preparing to go to the training ground to beat up Kobe Bryant, did not forget his other important task this summer.
On the other end of the phone, when Stackhouse saw that it was Su Feng calling...
He, who was arrogant in front of his agent a second ago, suddenly seemed like a different person...
"Oh, my dear old man, how did you think of calling me?" Stackhouse said excitedly on the phone.
After hearing this, Su Feng smiled and said straight to the point: "Jerry, I don't have anything special to do with you today. I just want to ask you if you are interested in joining the Heat in the new season."
Stackhouse: "!!!"
"What? Do you already have your heart, Jerry?" Su Feng asked in Las Vegas when he noticed that the other end of the phone did not reply to him for a long time.
"No, no, no! Listen to me, Su, how could I have any other choice besides the Miami Heat?" Listening to Su Feng's questioning, Stackhouse hurriedly explained.
And now, at Stackhouse's house, Stackhouse's agent was also confused by this guy for a while.
"Okay, then I'll wait to fight with you again next season!" Su Feng said to Stackhouse before hanging up the phone in Las Vegas.
"To be honest, Su, I'm probably more looking forward to fighting side by side with you again than you are!" On the other side, Stackhouse, who couldn't wait to assist Maple Emperor again, also asked Su Feng before hanging up the phone. expressed his loyalty.
that is......
From the perspective of Stackhouse's agent, this is completely different from the script he imagined!
Because this summer, didn't you say that you wanted to take this opportunity to show off, and even if you couldn't increase your offer from other teams, you still wanted to let them know your Stackhouse temper?
how.......
Su Feng just called you, and you are so sweet?
Jerry, as promised, where is your moral integrity?
"Jerry, let me tell you first. I have studied the Heat's salary structure before. If you are sure that you want to join the Heat, then I can't guarantee you a contract that satisfies you and me."
At Stackhouse's home, watching Stackhouse dancing excitedly at home, his agent hurriedly reminded him.
Upon hearing this, Stackhouse's expression immediately became serious.
"Look at what you said, man!
Am I, Jerry Stackhouse, a player like Scottie Pippen who would starve to death for less than one or two million dollars?
Moreover, do you know that this is a phone call from Su personally?
Do you know what this means? "Looking at his agent, Stackhouse asked.
"What does it mean?" Stackhouse's agent asked.
"It means Su has me in her heart!"
After pushing his agent away, Stackhouse immediately picked up two basketballs from the living room floor and prepared to go to the training ground.
"No...what are you doing?" Seeing this, Stackhouse's agent also asked in confusion.
"Of course I will start my summer training immediately!
What an international joke!
When I go to Miami, I have to assist Su!
I'm not bragging, but Shaquille O'Neal and his group are worthy of being Su's second boss?
Is it worthy? "
Turning to look at his agent, Stackhouse asked again.
And at this moment, looking at Stackhouse's various honey operations since receiving Su Feng's call...
This time......
Stackhouse's agent Jeff Schultz understands...
Why are there rumors that stars born in North Carolina are difficult to maintain?
Because in terms of character...
Whether it's Jordan or Carter, or Stackhouse...
These North Carolina-born stars can be said to have the same origin.
…
On July 2, under the pressure of Stackhouse to settle the contract with the Heat as soon as possible, without even bargaining, Schultz accepted a two-year contract proposed by Riley. Year is a player option with a total value of $10 million.
As far as Stackhouse's current worth is concerned, this contract is obviously one or two less than what other teams have offered him.
"That's weird! These agents didn't even counteroffer during negotiations?"
On this day, in the Heat's general manager's office, Riley, who was busy with various contract renewal matters this summer, was also confused.
You know, the reason why Riley set the price like this in the initial quotation...
That's just because as the general manager, he knows very well that these NBA agents like to sit on the ground and raise prices.
Therefore, Riley simply wanted to strike first, making an offer slightly lower than the market price, and then waiting for the other party to counteroffer.
but.......
How could Riley have imagined...
How could Jeff Schultz and Jerry Stackhouse be so straightforward in accepting this offer?
In Riley's view, if he had known this, he would have given Stackhouse a few more years instead of providing him with a "1+1" contract.
Because in Riley's eyes, the 32-year-old Stackhouse is far from the time to need a one-year signing.
It's just that in the NBA, after lowering the offer made by the other party, correspondingly giving the other party more room to operate in terms of the length of the contract is an unspoken rule when the two parties negotiate a deal.
In the future, many 2K players who like to play dynasty mode should have experienced this hidden rule in 2K.
As for Las Vegas, after knowing that Stackhouse accepted the Heat's offer so decisively, Su Feng was deeply moved.
"Jerry, why don't you let your agent make another counteroffer?"
On this day, Su Feng, who had already made up his mind to give Stackhouse a top-level supercar at the beginning of the new season, asked Stackhouse on the phone.
After hearing this, Stackhouse became anxious at the time!
Because in Stackhouse's view, Brother Maple is doubting his quality as a "Maple Guard"!
"Sue, you know, I made fun of Scottie Pippen's salary on the court.
but.......
In your opinion, can’t I, Jerry Stackhouse, fight side by side with you for once for my dream? Stackhouse asked on the phone.
"Maybe... Sue, I mean maybe.
Maybe one day, people will forget the famous scenes Jerry Stackhouse played in this league.
But they will never forget the shot I made on Steve Kerr in the summer of 1997.
but me.......
I will never forget the moment when you pulled me and told me with certainty that Steve Kerr would be there to catch the pass from Michael Jordan. "On the phone, after a pause, Stackhouse added.
1997.
In the final moments of Game 4 of the first round of the playoffs against the Chicago Bulls.
In Stackhouse's opinion, if it weren't for Su Feng's reminder...
Then there was no way he could complete what would later be called the "block of the century".
And this life......
Because of this hat, regardless of whether you want to admit it or not, Stackhouse knows that his name will definitely be recorded in history.
therefore......
A mere salary of one or two cents...
How can it prevent him from fighting side by side with Su Feng again?
"If I were Stackhouse in 1997.
and you.......
Are you willing to be my Su Feng in 1997? "
And many years in the future, when 2K players log into the 2K17 interface...
They'll also see this quote by Stackhouse.
By signing Stackhouse on July 2, the Heat naturally no longer have to worry about letting go of Caron Butler.
On the 3rd, the Washington Wizards officially announced that they had made a five-year, $54 million offer to restricted free agent Caron Butler.
Then, because the Heat did not match the offer, amidst the cheers of the people of Washington, the Big Three of the Wizards in Su Feng's memory also ushered in the moment to gather together.
On the 4th, this summer's free agent market is still very busy.
In order to strengthen the team's inside strength, Paul Allen, who was spending crazy money, and his Trail Blazers signed former digital man and meritorious inside player Theo Ratliff from the free agent market.
Although he had not experienced any major injuries in this life, Ratliff was no longer included in the digital man's future plans due to the erosion of time.
At this point, the digital team that teamed up to win the championship for Philadelphia only has four players left in the new season: Yao Ming, Mutombo, Iverson, and Snow.
Friends come and go.
Only the championship flag flutters in the wind.
On the 5th, the Cleveland Cavaliers officially announced that the team's new season will be led by Mike Brown, who previously served as an assistant to legendary coach John Davis.
In this life, because Brown had studied under Davis for two years, Su Feng was also curious about whether this fat little bald man could find the right way to open James.
On the 6th, the newly formed Galaxy Battleship Portland Trail Blazers sent the team's future draft picks and three role players to Memphis in exchange for Shane Battier.
It's the same as Su Feng remembers, because when they came to Memphis, the Grizzlies felt the enthusiasm from the local Memphis fans that they had never felt in Vancouver, so what was different from other teams was... .
The Grizzlies had only one goal after coming to Memphis.
That is to go as far as possible in the playoffs and find a way to win back the ticket prices for the tickets held by Grizzlies fans.
Su Feng's past life, if you carefully observe the history of the Grizzlies team, you will find...
Even if it's a mess, the Grizzlies will strive to complete reconstruction as quickly as possible.
And being infected by this team culture...
The aura of the Grizzlies rookie is also obviously different from that of Minnesota next door.
This summer, the Grizzlies are ready to begin rebuilding.
Because they were stuck in the first round for many years in a row, everyone from the Grizzlies to the management and team owners felt that they were very sorry to the Grizzlies fans.
However, because Milicic played well with the Lakers in this generation, and the LOGO man did not serve as the Grizzlies' technical advisor, Su Feng knew that Pau Gasol would definitely become the leader of the Grizzlies in the near future. In an era when the northwest is still in chaos, even more chaos exists.
Because, as long as Gasol goes to a team that has the strength to compete for the championship...
By then......
“I don’t know why some people say that my championship has no gold content.
Damn Maple Black!
If the champions of labor and management have no gold content, then what other championships have gold content? "
On this day, after educating little Zhan Zhan on the training ground, Su Feng, who had not been optimistic about the Trail Blazers a few days ago, instantly felt the determination of the Trail Blazers.
It turns out.
Paul Allen.
Than burning money.
This time he was serious.
certainly......
Than cerebral palsy.
Boss Qiao is also serious.
Because on July 8, the Charlotte Bobcats officially announced that Larry Brown, who is unemployed at home, will become the team's head coach in the new season.
On the other side, James Dolan, another tycoon who was burning money like crazy, invited out the "pirated Zen Master" Felipe who had led the Bulls to five championships that year and later led the Lakers to one championship on the same day. Er-Jackson comes out.
In this life, because she broke up with the Buss family on bad terms, and in order to gain power in the future, Jenny Buss distanced herself from her relationship with him, so she knew that if she stopped doing anything, she would most likely be forgotten by the fans. Jackson had no choice but to accept a sky-high contract from the Knicks.
no way.......
Although Jackson has never managed a team without a superstar...
But who said that this time, the Knicks gave too much?
Moreover, if Jackson can lead the Knicks in a decent way in the new season, wouldn't that slap the Lakers in the face?
that is.......
The new Knicks leadership team composed of Jackson and "Smiling Assassin" Thomas...
Su Feng always feels that next season, this Knicks will definitely have something to play for.
In July, while the NBA welcomed back some old friends...
Some old friends are also having trouble renewing their contracts.
Because he and the Kings were unable to negotiate a contract extension, on the 9th, NBA All-Star power forward Chris Webber officially announced that he would no longer consider the offer made by the Kings.
In the 0506 season, Weber, who averaged "20+9" for the Kings per game, is still a T1-level power forward from the data point of view.
However, since he will be 34 years old next year, unless the Kings' front office is mentally ill, it is impossible for them to accept the four-year, $80 million contract extension proposed by Webber's agent.
In this life, because the Kings are without Bibby and Christie, Webb, who did not have the experience of the Game 7 with the Lakers, naturally has no capital to rely on his old age with the Kings.
As for the TNT TV station, after noticing Weber's speech, Barkley did not forget to complain: "Hey, Chris, if I were you, then I would definitely choose to join the Miami Heat with a minimum salary.
Because at your current age and status, there shouldn't be any team willing to offer you a contract with an annual salary of US$20 million, right? "
And Sacramento….
Originally, Webb, who was seriously considering embracing Su Feng's thigh to win the championship, also said angrily in a subsequent interview: "Not everyone in this league is Charles Barkley!
I am an All-Star player, so even if I want to win the championship, I will only win it based on my own ability! "
All right.......
In order to win this championship ring based on his own ability, after careful consideration, on the 12th, Webber officially joined the Philadelphia Digital People with a two-year basic salary.
Because most of the teams on the market that are willing to provide him with tens of millions of annual salaries are not competitive, so in order to swell Barkley's pig face, Weber chose the one that suits him best based on his understanding of the current league. At the same time, he is also the most promising digital player to defeat the Heat.
"Charles mistaken me!"
On this day, when Su Feng learned that the Heat had lost to the Digital Man in Weber's game, Su Feng didn't know what to say to Barkley for a while.
However, when I think of the Heat's iron-blooded forward line that even Garnett is afraid of...
Su Feng discovered...
It seems that Weber is indeed a dispensable piece of chicken.
Therefore, when Barkley called that day, Su Feng said to him without thinking: "Are you kidding me, Charles? Do you really think that if there is one less Chris Webber, I will take it?" No more championship?
In my opinion, there was nothing wrong with your previous comments about Chris Webber. "
After hearing this, Buckley immediately felt the Maple Emperor's unparalleled aura!
Look, what does it mean to be the number one in basketball?
Take another look at Weber...
He obviously promised to rely on his own ability to win the championship, but looking back, didn't he choose to embrace the thighs of Iverson and Yao Ming?
In July, Chris Webber's plans to join the Digital Man were put on hold for the time being.
Miami.
O'Neal, who was originally preparing to continue losing weight, suffered a series of blows due to the matter of renewing his contract with the Heat...
Therefore, for a while, this fat-headed fish lost all motivation to continue losing weight. UU reading www.uukanshu.net
"What are you talking about? Not only are they unwilling to offer me a long-term contract...
And they are only willing to offer me a one-year contract with a total value of only $10 million? "
On this day, when O'Neal, who thought his agent would handle his signing very smoothly, learned that Riley had returned the offer...
O'Neal.......
This time I was really in a hurry!
…
PS: Can Fathead Fish successfully renew his contract with the Heat? And how will Su Feng make his second decision? How will the NBA landscape change next season? (The purchase is gone, everyone!)
