I'm really good at shooting.

Stern was very excited when he heard the news, but he needed to communicate with the League Committee about Plan One.

After all, he is just a wage earner selected by the bosses, and this kind of thing definitely needs the approval of the league committee.

Not two days later, Stern quickly gave Sun Hao an answer: Except for the Lakers, the other 29 teams did not agree with Plan [-].

A very real result, who would want to have one more competitor out of thin air?

So if Sun Hao wants to join the Lakers, he can only choose option two.

ps: Everyone can guess which team Sun Hao is coming back to.

Chapter 580 Sun Hao Comes Back To Join...

Gu Yi went to contact Kupchak.

Because Sun Hao has not publicly announced his comeback, these small operations can only be done in private.

Kupchak was overjoyed when he got the call.

Although Gu Yi only asked the Lakers in a tentative tone on the phone if they could clear the salary space.

But as long as you are not stupid, you know what that means!

Before the league committee meeting, Stern asked the owners of the teams for their opinions, and also told all the teams that Sun Hao would come back early.

Now, Sun Hao has to choose to make a comeback with the Lakers!

As long as they can clear up enough salary space, the revival of the Lakers is just around the corner!

Then there is the key cap space issue.

According to the results of the previous discussion by the League Committee, no matter where Sun Hao returns, he must sign the contract according to the market value.

In other words, Sun Hao must sign a maximum salary.

Sun Hao has played in the NBA for seven years. According to the rules at this time, the starting salary of the maximum salary is 30% of the league salary cap, which is 1760 million US dollars this season.

The good news for Kupchak is that Marion is on an expiring contract, and his salary is exactly 1781 million this season.

As long as he gets sent to a team that has room to take that contract and gets some exceptions that don't account for the salary cap, the problem will be solved.

The next day, gossip.

There have been several media reports that Sun Hao may have an early comeback.

"I think the Lakers are still the team with the best chance of winning this season, because he is coming back!"

On TNT's new program in the evening, Barkley switched from Comey to Sun Chui all at once.

"Who?"

Kenny Smith routinely plays the supporting role.

"Who? You don't know who I'm talking about! You hear me man, I'm talking about the Lakers!"

"Sun is coming back."

As soon as Barkley finished speaking, Ernie Johnson took over.

The three of them played a play, vividly describing the matter of Sun Hao's return.

"But I don't think Sun will definitely return with the Lakers."

Kenny Smith continues to hold the role.

"Man, will Michael Jordan leave the Bulls? No! Will Sun leave the Lakers? Neither!"

Barkley was excited.

"Charles, Sun and Michael are not in the same situation, and the Lakers are not in the same situation as the Bulls were."

"What's the difference?"

"The Lakers don't have cap space right now."

"Can't cap space be cleared with a trade?"

"At this time point, not many teams have it. Even if they do, why should they help the Lakers?"

"Kenny is right, if I have space, I will not help the Lakers, but will try to recruit Sun myself."

There was a quarrel, which seemed fierce, but in fact it was well organized and proceeded step by step.

The theme of their program this time is about to come out, which is to analyze which team Sun Hao will return to if he returns.

Barkley is a staunch Lakers faction, and this will also be the opinion of most fans.

After all, although the fans may not be able to consider all the things that Gu Yi analyzed, they can still think of a lot.

Smith and Johnson are analyzing the uncertainty of the Lakers.

This episode also quickly became popular all over the Internet.

Fans followed Barkley and the others, and began to frantically speculate which team Sun Hao would choose to make his comeback.

Moreover, TNT struck while the iron was hot, and even made voting statistics online.

The results showed that the Lakers' vote rate was as high as 90%.

In second place was the Warriors, but with only 6 percent of the vote.

The old teacher Nelson and the "mysterious brother" Durant are considered to have a certain attraction to Sun Hao.

The third-ranked Wizards only got 2% of the votes.

Ranked fourth turned out to be the Knicks, with less than 1% of the votes.

For some of the remaining teams, the percentage of votes was even lower.

In other words, the media and fans also think that Sun Hao will only come back with the Lakers.

Back to the Lakers.

Their deal in free agency has been rocky.

The main reason is that no team can take Marion's contract alone.

Even a rebuilding team can't possibly have that much space.

Because the NBA has a poor line, this line is about 90% of the salary cap.

And Marion's contract is a maximum salary, close to 30% of the salary cap.

So even if there is a team willing to eat, it will definitely need to find a third party.

This is very difficult to operate.

Among these teams, there are not no teams that are relatively easy to operate.

Pacers in the East, Warriors in the West.

The main players of these two teams are rookies, and there are few big contracts, so it is relatively easy to operate.

This is also the main target of the Lakers in the free market.

But the Warriors directly rejected the Lakers.

The Warriors are now competing to qualify for the playoffs. To put it bluntly, they are in the same rank as the Lakers.

How could it eat the opponent's contract and make the opponent stronger?

However, the Pacers did not refuse, and they also launched in-depth negotiations with the Lakers.

However, judging from the rumors that broke out, it's not that the Byrds are much better than Jerry West, but that they simply want to take advantage of the fire!

All in all, the Lakers' transaction did not go smoothly.

Sun Hao's comeback with the Lakers is much more difficult than expected, and it seems that there will be some delay.

On this day, an unexpected visitor came to Sun Hao's home.

"Logo Man" Jerry West and Old Nelson.

They just said they came to visit Sun Hao, and then took a look at Little Beijing, and brought some gifts.

One is a Lakers legend, and the other is a former mentor, so Sun Hao naturally couldn't refuse.

After watching Little Beijing, the two dragged Sun Hao to chat in the living room.

"I heard you're planning to come back?"

After sitting down, West also cut to the chase.

Sun Hao nodded.

Stern mentioned his comeback in the league committee, and the management of the 30 teams in the league must have known about it.

There's nothing to hide.

"I know you're definitely coming back with the Lakers."

West continued.

Sun Hao didn't speak, just smiled.

West is trying to trick him.

"We will not persuade you to join the Warriors, because we know that will make you very difficult, but if things happen as I said, I hope you can consider the Warriors."

West had already guessed the answer from Sun Hao's reaction, so he continued to speak.

"what's the situation?"

Sun Hao was still a little curious.

Besides letting himself go to the Warriors, he couldn't think of anything else that would allow West and Old Nelson to come to his home at the same time.

"I'm talking about a hypothesis. If the Lakers can't clear the salary space and the management hopes you can come back next season, I hope you can come to the Warriors and use half a season to find the game state.

If you have an idea, we can just sign a one-year contract. When the summer is over, if you want to go back to Los Angeles or want to go to other places, we will not do anything to stop you. "

West's next words made Sun Hao feel more interesting.

This feeling is to treat myself as a spare tire, and then beg him to play half a season with the Warriors.

It's very humble, but it does make Sun Hao feel very good.

After all, the Warriors have old Nelson and Durant, which can be regarded as his second choice.

He nodded.

Although he didn't think Kupchak didn't even have the ability to clear the space.

"Then, it's a deal."

West stood up and shook hands with Sun Hao, with a warm and innocent smile.

After sending West away, Sun Hao suddenly had a very strange feeling.

You must know that he is a time traveler, and in the words of history, West is the man who claims to control the alliance.

Form an OK combination, replace Gasol with Gasol to create a black and white duo, choose Curry to recruit Durant to build a Warriors quasi-dynasty...

There are many operations in it that other managers can't play in their lifetime.

But thinking about it, he shook his head again.

Kupchak shouldn't even be able to find a space, right?

Probably not.

can you?

……

Sun Hao is waiting, and time is passing by.

During this period of time, Sun Hao's home in Beverly Manor became the former Boston North Shore Garden Arena, full of people, and the threshold was almost broken.

Although the rhetoric is different from West's, they all hope that Sun Hao can choose to come back in their team.

Some of them even said that Sun Hao was a little moved.

Like the Trail Blazers.
