Legend of Tomorrow

Guo Xu chatted with the girls for a while and sang a love song with Avril Lavigne, which received applause from the whole house.

He chatted with many people and felt a little tired after socializing a lot. Today he was the center of attention, and all the guests wanted to say hello to him and toast him.

This feeling was like the groomsmen at the wedding he attended in his previous life. He didn't like this kind of party, and it would be better to stay at home and play game consoles.

When Guo Xu chatted with his teammates, Marion expressed his thoughts. Jason, I'm leaving in the summer. It's been a pleasure working with you all these years, but I have to leave for the next big contract, and I think you understand.

Yes, I understand. Have you talked to Brian? Guo Xu asked.

We talked about it, and he supports me, but he is more inclined to trade me for draft picks and clear salary space, rather than a one-for-many trade. Marion smiled self-deprecatingly.

Whenever a big-name star is traded in the NBA, one person often trades for half the team, and sometimes a multi-party deal is required to reach an agreement. For stars, getting more chips back when being traded is also a status symbol.

In Guo Xu's previous life, the Sharks traveled east, Chris Paul changed teams twice, Garnett joined the Celtics, etc., all were one-for-multiple transactions.

Even Joe Johnson joined the Nets from the Hawks in one exchange. In order to form the Big Five, the Nets not only sacrificed a large number of draft picks, but also sacrificed half of their team. In order to acquire Joe Johnson, manager Billy King sent five players including Jordan Williams, Johann Pietro, Jordan Farmar, Anthony Morrow and DeShawn Stevenson to the Hawks.

Marion has no great trade value in either his previous life or this life. In his previous life, he exchanged for O'Neal who was in a declining period and only helped the Heat clean up junk contracts.

After that, the Suns were eliminated in the first round of the playoffs in 2008 and did not make the playoffs in 2009. O'Neal's contract was large and long, and the Suns obviously lost money. In order to send away O'Neal and return to the run-and-gun tactics, the Suns could only exchange Ben Wallace and Pavlovic from the Cavaliers for worse contracts.

Not many teams are interested in Marion in this life, even though he has won four championship rings. Owner Bryan doesn't expect him to be able to exchange for stars. He only wants draft picks and trade exceptions. It's hard to find a team that can meet the Suns' requirements.

In other words, where Marion goes is up to the management. He can't decide where to go. If he is sent to a team like the Heat that is not suitable for his performance, he can only accept his fate.

Guo Xu asked: Do you have a choice now? Brian should have a trading target for you to choose, right?

There are only two,

Magic and kings. Marion sighed. I plan to go to the King. That won't be too far from home.

He explained that because his family lived in Las Vegas, he didn't want to go east. Moreover, the Kings have no big-name stars anymore. After joining, he should be able to have enough ball rights, produce good data, and strive to get a big contract.

Guo Xu doesn't think so. In his previous life, Artest had a very unhappy life with the Kings. His annual salary was cheaper than Marion, but he was sent to the Rockets in his last year. Marion's contract expires in the same two years as Artest, and the situation is very similar.

If Marion joins the Kings, no matter whether he is traded a second time, he will not pose any threat to his old club Suns. However, Guo Xu thought for a moment and decided to give him some advice.

Change to the Magic, Sean. The Kings are already a rebuilding team. They will focus on cultivating new players and will not want you to be the core and take more shots. If you take on a lot of responsibilities, there is a high probability that they will choose to trade you. Then I won’t know where to go.”

Are you sure? Marion was stunned for a moment.

I'm sure the king is not for you.

The Kings are not just not suitable for Marion, they are simply not suitable for all stars. In Guo Xu's previous life, the Kings never made the playoffs after 2006. By 2018, they had not made the playoffs for 12 consecutive years, making them the longest team in the league to bid farewell to the playoffs. Moreover, they lack the core of the team, and there is still no hope of any playoffs next season. This embarrassing record may continue.

Players who play for such a team will inevitably lose their value, and their luxurious statistics will be regarded as data brushes. It is a dream to renew the contract with a high salary. In a few years, the Maloof brothers will want to sell the team.

Guo Xu paused and said seriously: I suggest you go to the Magic. In order to successfully renew the contract of center Howard in the summer, they must hope that their record will be even better next season. They have to bring in immediate combat power to break through in the Eastern Conference. As long as you play well It fits the system well, and they will be willing to offer you a big contract extension. But if you go there, I'm afraid you will have to play mainly as a power forward.

I've long been used to playing as a power forward. Marion thought for a moment and smiled: Thank you, I will think about it carefully, and I will discuss it with my agent later.

I think he should also be optimistic about the Magic. The Magic have plenty of salary space in the summer, but there are no big-name stars in the free market. They don't have many choices.

Guo Xu made the suggestion sincerely. He is not afraid that the Magic will threaten the Suns' status in the future. Warcraft Howard is very powerful and is already recognized as a star center, but he is not a good boss and the Magic lack an offensive core.

Marion can enhance the Magic's strength, but it is impossible to help the team win the championship. He is not the kind of super scorer that the Magic needs.

Super scorers cannot be obtained just by changing. It is more reliable to select a rookie and train it than to trade. Many people are useless once they leave the familiar system. There are only a handful of players like Harden who have exploded after changing teams. .

The Magic have no advantage against the Cavaliers, and reaching the finals is the limit. The Suns have defeated the Cavaliers who have added Boozer for two consecutive seasons. How can they be suppressed by the Magic?

The Magic are really the best team for Marion. Grant Hill's big contract expired this summer, and the Magic have free salary space, and they are eager to strengthen. In Guo Xu's previous life, in July 2007, the Magic and the SuperSonics completed a sign-and-trade deal for Rashard Lewis.

The Sonics received the Magic's second-round draft pick and a trade exception of approximately $9 million, and Lewis signed a six-year, $118 million contract, the 10th billion-dollar contract in NBA history.

Within a few years, Lewis, who was highly paid and low-powered, became a representative figure of super bad contracts. He was just an ordinary star who was selected for the All-Star Game, but he received a superstar's salary.

Lewis averaged 22.4 points, 6.6 rebounds and 2.4 assists per game at his peak. He did this in his contract year when the Sonics were at the bottom. The Magic were really hungry in order to renew Howard's contract.

Marion has been selected to the All-Star many times and has rich experience in the finals. Of course, he is more valuable than Lewis, who averaged 20 points per game at his peak and played a single role. That trade exception is very suitable for the Suns, and it can be exchanged for a potential player who has not yet entered the rookie period or a high draft pick.

Ariza also chatted with Guo Xu for a while as a farewell. He won three championship rings after joining in 2004, and he is ready to pursue a high salary in the summer.

Ariza's idea is very simple. He will go to whichever team pays him more. If the Suns are willing to match the contract, he will be happy to stay and continue playing. However, judging from his performance and playing time in the playoffs, the team will definitely not match the big contract.

On the defensive end, Ariza can play some role. On the offensive end, his shooting ability is not as good as that of Raja Bell and Anthony Parker, and his ability to control rebounds is not as good as Marion's. His position is very awkward.

The Suns have always focused on offense, and Guo Xu feels that he is determined...
