NBA: Start with 20 billion, buy the Knicks

The Eagles changed their coach to Larry Drew. In fact, they can't find any shortcomings in their lineup, but they are just short of breath.

The Nets also replaced Avery Johnson, which I heard was personally approved by Anthony.

And Paul seems to have a condition after deciding to renew his contract with the Hornets, that is, the head coach Jitian. Two days after Paul's decision, the new coach Monty Williams, who will also be a teacher and friend in the future, took office!

Jiang Chao did not recruit these coaches.

Because he already has the strongest coaching staff, and there are still many coaches who haven't played yet!

……

The free market has run out of fish and few anglers with space.

Warcraft himself could not sit still any longer.

He can't stand another year with the Magic.

When the conversation with Sean Marks collapsed, he called Boss Jiang himself.

"Boss Ginger!!!"

Finally, the Warcraft agent called, and Howard was sitting next to him.

Opposite, sitting Magic's general manager Martins!

The first sentence means do you still remember Xia Yuhe by the Daming Lake?

"I'm waiting for your call."

Jiang Chao seemed much calmer, feeling like everything was under his control.

"You! Let me tell you about the current situation." Warcraft personally took the phone and went to have a private chat with Jiang Chao outside the villa.

Now everyone feels that there is a reason for Howard's inability to win the championship. His private life is indiscreet, he has no professionalism and so on.

So it's not that World of Warcraft can't sit still, but that other managements don't like him very much, so the Wizards and Knicks are contacting him.

The options given to him now are not as many as at the beginning of the off-season. There are only 3 choices, either stay with the team or go to those two teams.

Howard basically ruled out the Wizards. The chemical reaction between Wall and Cousins ​​actually shows that he doesn't get along very well with the inside.

Moreover, because the Wizards have eaten too many people, there is not enough space, and the Magic management does not want so many leftovers, and Warcraft also wants to directly maximize the salary.

"I don't necessarily have a maximum salary in the first year here."

For the Knicks, if the Howard team wants a maximum salary and the Knicks counter-offer, they can eat it directly in the first year.

"No problem, I will definitely have a multi-year contract with you."

This involves another issue. Warcraft also wants to sign a long-term contract of 2000 million yuan like James, but many teams just want to give him a salary of [-] million a year. If not, they mean coming back next season.

"Do you want to?"

"Sure, I want to play for you for 5-6 years!"

Howard has thought about his life in the past few days, from the beginning of his career when he was buckled by Kobe's Tomahawk, to what his career will be like in the end.

I thought about it all.

Then he watched more than a dozen videos of the Knicks' games last season, and he found that he still liked the Knicks better, and the happy beast that meditated was the wise beast.

Especially after his agent reminded him that he could join forces with his old enemy Yao Ming next season, he became even more excited.

He likes Curry's three-pointers, Harden's breakthrough shots, his old friend Turk Drew, and assistant coach Clifford's devil training.

I also like Jiang Chao's vigorous action.

In the end, he also figured it out, Jiang Chao had actually offered him an olive branch a long time ago, and now he is waiting for him to take it on his own initiative.

In the future, in the Knicks, it is not bad.

"Okay, will you go all out?"

"Damn, don't question my professionalism!"

"Come to our team, don't think about anything else, and fight for the championship."

"Okay! I'm here to grab the board for Curry, and it doesn't matter if you don't want to score!!"

"Call the general manager Martins, and I'll talk to you."

"Okay, you decide!"

The muscular behemoth returned to the villa and handed it to Martins with sweat on his face.

And Jiang Chao just smiled on the phone.

Just kidding, those who question Howard now are all released by him to mislead other teams. The news that the fans don't deserve the maximum salary is written spontaneously by the fans, and it has nothing to do with him.

Jiang Chao likes the master Huo who has been washed out of all his glory in the later generations, only Jiang Chao still believes that he is worthy of the maximum salary.

Moreover, TMD! 0 This is the only man who can replace James alone. Don't really think that other teams and Howard's agent are stupid!

Jiang Chao originally thought that he would agree the moment Howard called. What he wanted was Master Huo's professional attitude.

Howard wanted to just give Babyface the board, so it can be seen that he has already made up his mind to work hard.

Now that Jiang Chao doesn't make a move, the other teams will have to make a move after they react.

Martins answered the phone, at first with the original request.

At the beginning, he and Sean Marks talked about it and the talk broke down. They just wanted to change Yao Ming, so they signed first and then changed Howard.

But Max naturally knew what kind of existence Dayao was in Jiang Chao's heart, so he refused decisively.

Jiang Chao smiled and said that you are because of Van Gundy, otherwise who wants a top-salary player with a big injury risk?

If you smash it in your hand, you won't be able to shake it off at that time, plus the skin color problem, if you really trade YAO, you will be scolded to death by some fans.

The only possibility is that Van Gundy, YAO's mentor, wanted Da Fan to play the center forward system.

"Isn't the Wizards asking a lower price over there?"

"Javier McGee + Nick Young, is it okay?" Magic general manager Martins said proudly.

"A player who doesn't use his brain and a player who doesn't pass, will your Magic record drop to the bottom all of a sudden?"

"you!!!"

"Let me be honest, if Howard doesn't save face for your home team and directly jumps out of the contract, is it okay for me to sign naked? At this stage, we are the only ones with the most space."

Everyone who was driving outside was stunned for a moment, and then their scalps went numb!

I rely on!

No wonder the Knicks waited until now.

Think carefully!

Indeed, if Howard jumps out of the contract from the beginning, among other things, the garbage team Nets will definitely sign with the highest price in seconds!

And now the Nets have been squeezed to the luxury tax, and the Wizards are 200 million short of the Knicks.

Instead, the Knicks have become the biggest dark horse in the market!

As long as Howard doesn't miss his old love, the Knicks are safe! !

Happy Beast looked at each other directly with the management of the magic, ahem, it's so embarrassing~~ If you turn your face and deny people now, don't you need to talk about magic?

Max and Mustache looked at each other and smiled.

Jiang Chao is too smart, but it really made him survive until now!

But generally, those who have stayed in the team for five or six years will leave something for the home team. Superstars such as Anthony and James have done this, otherwise it will be really difficult in terms of public opinion and morality.

The rationality of player options is reflected. On the one hand, players have better opportunities to choose their careers. On the other hand, the home team will not suffer too much. of.

It's just that Jiang Chao mentioned it now, and the magic management's roaming space plummeted instantly!

Now Jiang Chao smiled and said:

"However, I won't treat you badly. How about it? Quentin Richardson, the big Q, is much more reliable than the Wizards. Although he is a veteran, he is only 30 now. You can operate it next year. He can assist anyone. It's not bad, at least it's the three-pointer, isn't it?"

Big Q's contract for next season is 800 million. If this is the deal, the Knicks will be more comfortable.

"No compensation?" Martins gritted his teeth. He actually liked Big Q better than YAO. After all, how could YAO lead the team better than Howard?

In fact, he almost wants to show off!

Now is to make the boss happy, which requires cash compensation!

"Five million cash compensation, this must be indispensable."

Jiang Chao is really ruthless, and he doesn't save money at all when it comes to spending money!

Martins picked up the phone: "I'm going to ask the boss now."

Howard and his agent, including other people in the villa, rubbed their hands excitedly. They didn't expect that after talking about the deal for so many days, it would be better than a few words from Jiang Chao on the other side of the phone.

Sean Marks and Mustache whispered in their ears:

"Sure enough, it's still a big Q, eh."

"Yeah, David Lee is the only player left in Dolan's era."

"David Lee is okay, Big Q is a small forward, and there is no room for him."

"Yes, last year's data dropped overall, but it's a good choice to give the magic to the small forward who has no one."

"Yes, there is a chance to let the 30-year-old veteran shine again. Success is beneficial to both parties."

In fact, Jiang Chao was also betting. He didn't deliberately play a big Q. If the other party called David Lee at this time, he would bite his teeth and make a big Q.

It's just that he bet on the Magic for a big Q.

The big Q in the previous life was traded to the Magic by the Knicks in the 11 and 12 seasons to strengthen the Magic's outside line. At that time, the efficiency of the game was not bad, so that the Magic has not been left behind.

So Jiang Chao guessed that the Magic management should like this passionate player.

The owner of the Magic is already dancing. Who would not like him after watching Big Q play in 05? ?

Outside heavy artillery!The three-point shot is decisive, the breakthrough is good, and the footwork is flexible.Can run and shoot, the only thing that is not good enough is that he has no ability to attack with the ball.

As a small forward of less than 2 meters, he has excellent defense and active rebounding. He has always performed well in rebounding.

Jiang Chao has always felt that he is the Tucker of the modern era. He is very passionate on the court, and he can punch a set of goals when he scores a goal, but he hits himself on the head.

This is why his 800 million average in the Knicks is only single digits, but Jiang Chao has not moved him.

And now, there is no way.

For Howard, it is impossible not to cut some meat.

He also wants to take 2000 million in cash compensation directly, but the league stipulates that the compensation is capped at 500 million, and it is true that the small forward position is too crowded.

"agree."

Martins didn't hesitate much, and was even a little afraid of Jiang Chao's repentance, so he directly agreed.

The 500 million cash compensation is the boss's favorite thing. With this cash flow, he can invest in other industries! ! !

Howard plunged straight into the pool! !

Happy Beast is happy again! ! !

happy!

The next step is for the two parties to discuss specific matters, and Jiang Chao listened quietly on the other end of the phone.

Under the bargaining of Sean Marks, the Knicks and Howard signed a two-way decreasing contract, that is, the annual salary in the first year and the last year is a little lower, and the middle three years are a little higher.

2120 million annual salary contract in the first year, 5 million maximum salary contract in 1.08 years.

After signing first and then changing, the three parties won a win-win situation, and the Knicks won the last piece of the jigsaw puzzle.

The Magic got money and a veteran with positive assets.

Howard can finally reunite with the agent and Clifford's old friends, and will start a new five-year journey with the new team.

In the last year of the five years here, I originally wanted a player option, but Jiang Chao directly rejected it. He knows how serious the professionalism of Sparks will be in the next few years. Although the contract is still 2000 million in the end, staying in the Knicks will not be negative equity. That's it!

In the future, he will rely on him inside, no problem!

In the words, Jiang Chao also knew that the Wizards' asking price is 6 million in 1.2 years, which is naturally unattractive compared with the Knicks. The New York team is richer than the capital team, who else! !

"Howard, come here, sign!"

The World of Warcraft agent shouted sparks from the swimming pool, and he agreed directly after seeing the amount.
