Legend of Tomorrow
Chapter 255 [It’s hard to buy it with 0 gold, I am willing]
On the 29th, Happy Waters went to the apartment to find Guo Xu and discuss signing with a new team. His previous negotiation targets were all Eastern teams, but the Western teams happily rejected Guo Xu's request.
There are many Eastern Conference teams with salary space, and the secret war for Jason Guo started before the free market started. This kind of action to dig up big names usually involves discussing intentions in advance, so you gain the advantage by striking first, and suffer disaster if you strike later.
The most active and sincere team is the Pistons, which directly offered a six-year maximum salary to recruit players. This is also the team that Happy is most optimistic about.
Happy said with a smile: Guo, what are you hesitating about? Just sign with the Pistons. You will be a billionaire when this contract is completed. You can continue to compete for the championship next season. If you are lucky, maybe in the future You can lead the Pistons to build a dynasty as the team's first core.
This is indeed very possible. Happy still doesn't know that the Pistons will make a big deal in the summer. Stackhouse, who has a very low offensive efficiency, will be sent away in exchange for Hamilton's team to be stronger on the outside.
If there is no butterfly effect and accidents, the Pistons' lineup next season will be Guo Xu, Hamilton, Michael Curry, Clifford Robinson, and Ben Wallace.
The 35-year-old veteran Clifford is not a fuel-saving lamp. He has been selected to the All-Star. He has scored 20 points in three seasons in his career. Last season, he averaged 14.6 points, 4.8 rebounds, 2.5 assists, 1.1 steals and 1.2 blocks per game. He was selected to the All-Defensive Second Team. The end range reaches beyond the three-point line.
Ben Wallace was elected as the best defensive player this season. He is at the peak of his career. His defensive ability is relatively comprehensive and he can play both inside and outside. His shortcoming is that he is too short and his shooting is poor when big men interfere with him when defending alone. As for the offensive end, he has no advantages.
Hamilton plays without the ball and is very suitable to partner with Guo Xu. He basically does not occupy the ball. Guo Xu only needs to pass the ball when he runs out of space.
Even Curry is not a big weakness, because he is just a fake. The Pistons have Corliss Williams at the forward, and the fringe player is this year's rookie Tayshaun Prince who has outstanding physical fitness.
In addition, the Pistons' substitutes include Atkins, Mehmet Okur, Jon Barry, etc. Although they are called civilians by some fans, these people are just not famous, not without strength.
In Guo Xu's previous life, the Pistons' commoners were simply terrible, reaching their peak in 2004.
Not only Ben Wallace, the best defensive player, Prince who defended Kobe Bryant alone, and the two outside players with 20+ scoring ability are civilians, but also Rasheed Huale, who was once known as the Four Forwards Scholars are all civilians. On their bench are a group of civilian gangsters who are good at offense and defense. The most marginalized person is civilian No. 2 Milicic.
Guo Xu is now the Pistons' first choice.
Their second target is Billups, and there is no need to rush to dig him, because Billups is not a core player in the Timberwolves, but he still has a bad reputation as a problem player. Not many teams are interested in him, and the Timberwolves are also There is no cap space for an extension.
Guo Xu was silent for a minute, looked at Megan beside him, and said one word heavily: No!
What did you say? Happy asked in disbelief.
I said no. Guo Xu smiled and said: Although the Pistons are very sincere, I won't go.
Why? This is a team that will improve your status. If you go there, you will probably become the team boss immediately. They have long disliked Stackhouse, and he won't be able to stay for long. Happy said excitedly. explain.
Because I don't like Detroit. Just for this reason, I won't go. Guo Xu explained lazily.
Your home is in East Lansing, in the Michigan area, and you're telling me you don't like Detroit? Happy Khan said. East Lansing is more than 200 kilometers away from Detroit, and it only takes more than two hours to drive.
No way? Didn't you notice that I often persuade my family to leave East Lansing? Guo Xu said with a smile.
...
This was a difficult choice. Between the championship and a comfortable life, Guo Xu chose the latter. He told the truth, he hated Detroit. If he goes and leads the Pistons to a championship, he will gradually become a symbol of that city.
The price for a player to become an icon is that unless the record is bad, the performance is poor, and the team cannot win, the Pistons will definitely not trade him for reconstruction, and the fans will not agree.
In the previous life, the Pistons' quartet had no superstars. Even though Ben Wallace left the team in 2006, the Pistons could always reach the Eastern Conference finals with their trio. Before Iverson joined, they had always been the strongest player in the Eastern Conference.
Guo Xu firmly believes that his personal ability is better than Billups. After he joins, it is impossible for the Pistons to trade him for Iverson. Then doesn't he have to stay in Detroit for the rest of his life? Become an assassin's successor? Detroit went bankrupt and no one wanted to live there.
Some people think that Detroit went bankrupt because of the Motor City. The fact is that Detroit began to decline in the 1960s. Since the black riots in Detroit, whites have left in droves, resulting in a massive loss of skills and assets. At the same time, the failure of black governance has resulted in low production and management capabilities, and there is no competitive advantage in urban development. At the same time, Detroit has the highest crime rate in the United States, and bankruptcy is only a matter of time.
It is not a racial slur to say that black people bankrupted Detroit. Many low-class black people do not work and like to commit crimes. In Guo Xu's previous life in 2018, the famous Wind City Chicago was almost bankrupt because of black problems. The financial crisis continued to worsen. Many wealthy people began to flee Chicago one after another, and it became a A garbage city.
In fact, even Chicago is very chaotic now. Jason Richardson often complains to Guo Xu about the poor public security, not to mention that he is Jordan's successor.
After Guo Xu figured it out, he didn't feel regretful. Happy, tell me about the other teams that have made offers, and then help me reject the Pistons.
Maximum salary, championship team, you have made a decision about such a big thing right now? Why don't you think about it anymore? Happy looked at Megan aside and asked: Aren't you going to persuade him? Go ahead. The taxes paid are tens of millions of dollars, which is more wealth than ordinary people can spend in a few lifetimes.
Megan shook her head and smiled: I don't like Detroit either.
Happy complained crazily in his heart, Who asked you if you like Detroit? It's whatever he says, you don't have to think about it at all, right?
Megan sat on the sofa leaning against Guo Xu, feeling very happy. She felt that Guo Xu's not choosing the Pistons had something to do with her. If she went somewhere else, she would not be able to act in the future.
Happy sighed and said: The Hawks also made an offer. As long as you are willing to join, they will trade Kukoc, Ratliff, and Terry, and build a team with you and Rahim as the core inside and outside.
It's not surprising that the Eagles want to poach Guo Xu, because Guo Xu scored a terrifying 67+10 at their home court in his rookie season, which is still fresh in the memory of the fans.
Guo Xu ate a big grape handed over by Megan and shook his head. Why don't they just trade Raheem away? Then I will be the only one on the team, and the others are all blue-collar people. I can play as well as Iverson. Let them stay where they are, and the next one .”
Cliff...
I am willing to buy it even if it is worth a thousand dollars. Guo Xu directly waved his hand and interrupted: Next one.
Happy covered his face with one hand. Guo Xu was said to have a mature personality and high IQ. In fact, he only has witty remarks during interviews. The rest of the time, he always does as he pleases. How has this guy matured? !
