NBA: James wants to team up with me

Wang Chong averaged 44 points per game in the finals and led the Bulls to win the 2009-10 season championship, achieving the Bulls' three consecutive championship dynasty, which brought both the individual and the team to a considerable height.

At least in the past three years, the Bulls led by Wang Chong have been the most dominant team in the league today. The last one to be compared with the Bulls was the Lakers during their four consecutive championships.

The only topic now is whether the Bulls can keep up with the Lakers and challenge for four consecutive championships. This is something that even Jordan's Bulls have not done.

With the strength of the Bulls, it is very possible to win four consecutive championships, but the premise is that the team must maintain its current lineup and competitive state.

This is actually a bit difficult for the Bulls.

After all the glory, it will eventually come to an end, even if the Bull is at its peak, it is no exception.

After the Bulls won the championship, there were two main problems they faced.

The first point is the aging of the lineup.

The next season will also be the 2010-11 season. By then, Garnett and Billups, two of the Bulls' Big Three, will be 34 years old. This age has already approached the critical point of competitive status for professional players, especially considering that Garnett is also due to A serious injury ruled out most of the season. It would not be surprising at all if the status of the two of them fluctuates next season.

The second point is the issue of player contract renewal.

After the end of this season, the contracts of two main players of the Bulls will expire, Wang Chong and Marc Gasol.

Wang Chong is in a contract option year. He has a player option. He can choose to execute the contract for the next year and stay with the team, or he can choose to jump out of the contract and re-sign a contract with the team. Obviously the latter is more cost-effective. , which also allows him to earn more wages. Most players in the player option period will also choose to opt out of their contracts.

As for Marc Gasol, because he was a second-round pick, he signed a three-year contract with the Bulls. After the end of this season, the three-year period has expired and Marc Gasol became a free agent. He was finally able to get rid of the cheap contract of a second-round pick and get a sky-high contract.

The contract that Gasol can get will be really huge. His performance this season can be described as amazing.

When Garnett was injured for the season, Gasol supported the Bulls' interior defense, and in the playoffs he could not fall behind against other teams' interior centers except Howard.

Gasol's value goes far beyond that. He has a good mid-to-long-range shot, and can support the ball in a high position like his brother Gasol. He can be cultivated as a functional inside center.

And even if Gasol's future development prospects are not that good, there are still teams that are willing to recruit him from the Bulls at a high salary, for no other reason than to weaken the Bulls.

Once Gasol leaves the team, there will be a vacancy in the Bulls' interior, and it will be difficult for the aging Garnett to support the entire team's interior alone.

Basically, if the Bulls want to keep Gasol, it is necessary to renew Gasol's contract with a maximum salary. Gasol, who has three years of playing experience, can get a maximum starting salary of close to 1300 million for 4 years. Almost closer to 5800 million.

This salary puts considerable pressure on the Bulls.

Some media have revealed through the grapevine that the Bulls management had talked with Gasol about contract renewal once before, but the two sides did not reach an agreement on the contract extension because the Bulls wanted Gasol to accept an average salary. The contract with an annual salary of 800 million was flatly rejected by Gasol's agent.

With Wang Chong, Garnett and Billups already having three million-dollar contracts, the Bulls boss may not be willing to offer Gasol a million-dollar contract. After all, it's not his boss. They are all as stupid and rich as the owner of the Knicks, and not all of them are as generous and willing to spend money as the owner of the Lakers.

Once the Bulls really choose to give up on renewing Gasol's contract because his asking price is too high, the Bulls' strength will definitely decline off a cliff. Even if Curry's rise as a new player in the team makes everyone stunned, Gasol His role in the interior is really something that no one on the Bulls can replace.

While Bulls fans are immersed in the ecstasy of the team's three consecutive championships, they can't help but start to worry about the team's next development.

Of course, in Wang Chong's view, these are not problems at all.

First of all, others may not know the status of the two veterans, but as a time traveler, how could Wang Chong not know how long the two veterans can maintain their competitive status?

In the 10-11 season, Billups played a total of 72 games with the Nuggets and Knicks respectively, averaging 32 minutes per game and contributing 16.8 points, 2.6 rebounds and 5.4 assists. Although the data is slightly lower than in previous seasons. It has declined, but it is still a first-line level among point guards.

Billups' real decline in form occurred after he suffered an injury while playing for the Clippers in the 11-12 season. From that time on, Billups was injured and stopped, and three years later he chose to return to action. After returning to the Pistons, he officially retired and ended his career.

Garnett played 11 games in the playoffs of the 12-20 season, and still averaged a double-double of 19 points and 10 rebounds per game. Although his data during the regular season was a bit stretched, it was irrelevant. The critical game paddling itself is understandable for veterans.

Basically, as long as Wang Chong does not suffer unexpected injuries, there is no problem for these two people to last for another one or two seasons. Their contracts expire in the 2011-12 season, so they will naturally not hinder the Bulls' combat effectiveness.

As for Gasol's contract renewal issue, Wang Chong has already mentioned the solution before.

Bulls boss is not willing to pay this money? Well, Wang Chong will not be in a hurry to renew his contract with the team after he breaks out of the contract. When the Bulls renew their contract with Gasol, he will complete the renewal with the team.

In recent years, the owner of the Bulls has used Wang Chong's success to earn a lot of stadium advertising space rental fees from Chinese manufacturers, and he has also won three championships. If he still gets nothing, then Wang Chong will be really unhappy.

He doesn't miss the Bulls very much, and he doesn't care about the so-called "one man, one city" like slavery.

That's all bullshit bandit logic. Players have worked hard for the team for more than ten years. As long as they leave, they will be labeled as betrayers and defectors.

When the team's players are old and have no use value, they are traded away from the team and kicked out. This is a business league and a business world. There is nothing that can be done.

But it's one thing not to leave the team, it's another thing entirely to leave the team and join forces with several of the league's top stars to form a super team.

A few days after the Bulls won the championship, the team held a championship parade in Chicago. This was the third consecutive year that the Bulls held a championship parade. However, the fans in Chicago were not tired at all, but became more and more excited and excited.

This is three consecutive championships! The Bulls have created a dynasty three times in a row, which is unprecedented in the league.

With these three championships, the Bulls' total number of championships has also reached nine, ranking third in the league, second only to the Celtics and Lakers.

At present, the Celtics are still the team with the most championships in the NBA, with a total of 16 championship trophies. Because of Wang Chong, the Celtics failed to form the Big Three in the 07-08 season, and they also failed to win the 17th championship. champion.
