Legend of Tomorrow

Happy mentioned another team that is willing to give Guo Xu a long-term max-salary contract, the Washington Wizards!

No, even if Jordan is willing to assist me, he won't go. Guo Xu quickly denied.

Is this a good gimmick? Because Jordan is about to retire, the Wizards will have a lot of attention. They didn't make the playoffs last season. If you help the team rise, the popularity should increase.

What happens after Jordan retires? Kwame Brown is a parallel import, and everyone else is a role player. Jordan joins the management and sees me helping him make money? How can the Wizards have any hope of competing for the championship based on their poor vision of selecting Brown? team?

Happy asked: Isn't there Hamilton? He has the ability to average 20+ per game.

That's not interesting either. Jordan will definitely control the ball in his retirement season. I don't want to be on the same team with him, even if it's only for one year.

There were some things Guo Xu couldn't say, and Hamilton quickly disappeared. As for why the Wizards wanted to replace the young Hamilton with a guy who had to hold the ball to strike, it was said to be Jordan's request.

In Guo Xu's previous life, Hamilton had hoped to be the spokesperson of the Jordan brand, but was rejected.

Jordan said: Rip (Hamilton's nickname), my sneakers are prepared for All-Star players. It can be imagined that Hamilton must have been hurt more than 10,000 points at the time.

After Hamilton was traded to the Pistons, he fully demonstrated his talent and helped the Pistons win the championship in 2004, just two years after he was rejected from the Jordan Brand endorsement.

Happy sighed: What if you look down on them all? Only these teams have offered you the maximum salary.

Guo Xu asked: Are there no big city teams interested in me?

Yes, yes, but where do they get the salary space? There are no big city teams with salaries below 55 million. New York and Los Angeles are at the same level, and their salaries are close to 100 million.

This is a very amazing thing. The Knicks' total salary exceeds 90 million, three people have annual salaries of tens of millions, and there are many middle-class people. However, they cannot make the playoffs, so coach Jeff Van Gundy was kicked out in the middle. Replaced by veteran coach Don Cheney.

Guo Xu lay back on the sofa and blew a breath, realizing that things were not easy to handle.

Even if he is a reborn person, choosing a team is still a headache. No matter where he chooses, there are pros and cons, and it will not be perfect.

If the Bulls didn't trade Brand,

Or if Yao Ming is selected with the No. 1 pick, he joins the Bulls without a second thought.

If Brand hadn't left, plus his good friend Jason Richardson, they would have barely been considered the Big Three, and the combination was very reasonable. There is also a defensive tycoon like Artest on the outside, and the task of maintaining world peace is left to him.

It would be better if Yao Ming was selected by the Bulls. The team's exposure rate would definitely be among the top in the league, and it would also become the home team of China. It is very meaningful for Guo Xu to join and become Yao Ming's eldest brother.

It's a pity that the Bulls management team chose the worst path. After sending Brand away, they chose a Cavaliers as their treasure and regarded Jay Williams as a future guard superstar.

Even if the Bulls offer a maximum salary, Guo Xu is not interested in joining. He has a headache just thinking about Baby Shark Eddie Curry and Tattooed Man Fizer. It's so disgusting.

Guo Xu pushed Megan and said seriously: Megan, if you dare to get a tattoo in the future, I will never talk to you in this life, do you hear me?

Huh? Megan gave him a question mark face. Aren't we talking about the team? Why did you get a tattoo? What kind of leaping thinking is this?

Happy advised: Listen to my advice and join the Pistons. No team is more suitable for you than the Pistons. You can get a maximum salary and have the possibility to win the championship. The salaries of other big city teams are higher than the Lakers. You You can’t go there at all. Not just in the east, but in the west as well. You don’t really have a lot of choices.”

If I wait a little longer, will there be a turnaround? For example, a team will clear their cap space and come to me?

It's possible, but it's not very hopeful. If they want to clear up salary space, these teams are doing it in the mid-term. By the way, they can also put money like the Nuggets.

No matter how rich the Nuggets are, Guo Xu will not go. They will just wait for Carmelo Anthony to save the team.

Guo Xu asked: Are there any teams that have made offers, but they are not the maximum salary and have relatively short tenure?

If he couldn't get it right in one step, Guo Xu would have to find a place to overdo it first. He doesn't want to sign a long-term contract with a team with no future and a bad geographical location. That would be a trap for himself.

Happy sighed: There really is one. The Celtics only have a total salary of 40 million, but next season Paul Pierce's big contract that was renewed in advance will begin to be implemented. They also just changed a general manager. They don’t seem very knowledgeable and only offered you a two-year contract for a total of 20 million. I don’t think they are sincere.”

Happy explained in detail that although the Green Army's annual salary was over 10 million, it was incomparable to those teams that offered maximum salary and long-term contracts. He was obviously skeptical of Guo Xu and wanted to do it with other players on the team. Compare and decide whether to renew the contract in the future based on the results.

I suspect that the Green Army just wants to poach you for two years. They don't believe that you can become the core of the team. If your performance in the past two years is average, they will not renew the contract. Even if the contract is renewed, the price may be lowered. I will negotiate. There shouldn’t be any increase in years.”

Guo Xu thought for a moment and said to Megan: Use the computer to help me check the information and see the Celtics' lineup and salary situation.

The two of them frequently checked information at home. Megan was very skilled at opening the NBA website and quickly found the Celtics page.

Happy Khan said: You are not thinking about the Celtics, are you? They did win many championships in the past, but that was before the 1990s. Now they have not been able to make the playoffs for many years.

But Boston's geographical location is not bad. Guo Xu said with a smile: They can inspect me, and I can also inspect them. After two years, I will be a completely free agent, and there will be no team options. If the Celtics don't If it suits me, I will leave, and then I will sign a long-term contract with a high salary.

Happy asked: What if there is no team suitable for you in 2004? You are taking a gamble.

No, if the Green Army cannot satisfy me in 2004, I will definitely have a way out. Even if I sign first and then trade, there will be a team that suits me. I know very well what I am doing. Guo Xu said confidently.

A lot of things happened in his previous life in 2004, and many successfully rebuilt teams appeared. Even if the Celtics wanted to sign first and then trade, he could consider joining the Rockets. By then, the Rockets had had enough of Francis and separated him from Mobley. Pack together and exchange for McGrady.

The cooperation between Tracy McGrady and Yao Ming is actually very inconsistent. The two of them just take turns playing singles, and there is no strategy at all. Because of McGrady's size, he is destined to be difficult to play in the pick-and-roll. If the opponent's inside player is about the same height as him, he can just make a one-step pull-up jumper.

If Guo Xu and Yao Ming played in the pick-and-roll, they would be much more powerful. Yao Ming is a tall inside man and has a large pick-and-roll area. Although he is not as fast as O'Neal, he has a long range. And Guo Xu can get a lot of breakthrough space, and he can also cover and move laterally to make jump shots from the outside. McGrady's style of play is personal.

This is something to talk about later. He needs to finalize things for this year first.
