Chapter 267: The book tycoon loses the election, signs a new star, and the battle for armaments begins!(1/2)
Chapter 267: The scholar loses the election, signs a new star, and the arms war begins!
"Armaments war, don't disturb us if you are serious!"
In fact, many big guys started chatting at the scene today. The free market has opened. It does not mean that only players whose contracts have expired can be traded. Junk contracts and premium contracts must also be dealt with.
The Knicks' attitude here is that if you are serious, don't bother. If you come to test, don't waste your time.
"Boss Jiang, can we see you next year?"
Although Heat president Riley didn't get much in the draft, he seemed to be in a good mood for some reason and took the initiative to smile at Jiang Chao.
There is a hidden meaning in these words, does it mean that you have the ability to come against us in the playoffs next year?
The godfather's eyes really make him an actor.
"Sure." Jiang Chao also smiled back.
"I heard that you are very serious recently?"
"Let's talk about it in a year."
Jiang Chao waved to the people behind him, and all the Knicks members left the backstage directly.
Mustache and others hate the Heat so much. From Curry's injury to Beverley's suspension, they don't want to see the Heat show off their power in front of them.
and……
What are you pretending to be?
We also have more than 20 million spaces!
Everyone knows that the Heat have a lot of player contract years this year, and several junk contracts have officially expired. They can use 2-3 stars or even superstars to sign new contracts.
Coupled with Riley's methods, the Heat have reason to believe that the Heat will have a completely new look next year.
The Knicks management team is also Alexander. Although Jiang Chao gave a speech about the one-year contract, it seems that the Heat will be very popular next year. It is said that James and Wade had dinner together in Los Angeles.
But in fact, Riley couldn't scare Jiang Chao at all, because Jiang Chao knew what he did in the end.
Leave it to him, I'll do my thing anyway.
You build a galactic battleship.
I can’t build a spaceship???
Ryan, the vice president of the league, was afraid that teams would be impatient to contact players now, so he used the microphone to remind everyone at the end:
July 1: Teams allowed to negotiate with players
July 8: Teams allowed to sign players
This is the difference between the David Stern era and the Silver era. If Silver didn't say anything, they would just fine you when you make a mistake.
"Boss, do you want to meet LIN? He and his team have been waiting for you at the entrance of the arena."
When Jiang Chao asked Lao Lu to draft a contract for George, Sean Marks came over and asked Jiang Chao if he wanted to meet the unsuccessful Jeremy Lin.
Jiang Chao said not to see him for now. You can test his attitude. If he wants to come to the Development League to play, then he is completely welcome.
In fact, for Shu Hao, Jiang Chao will not have much impact on his career direction. His attitude has always been problem-free. Didn't he play in the Warriors Development League at that time and the whole world could see it.
I didn’t know if it was their team’s fault before. For a while, the trend in the forum was that yellow bosses would definitely choose yellow players.
And he had previously sent Downey Jr. to test his idea of naturalizing into the Chinese team, which Shuhao completely rejected.
After all, Kyle Anderson is the only player who eats with chopsticks and cooks dumplings with his Hakka brother like Kyle Li.
Therefore, Jiang Chao will not force it, why Kyle Anderson is the natural choice and the only one for the Chinese team.
Just because Jiang Chao is also useful here, the Knicks also need a tall playmaker who can play both power forward and small forward. If he practices, he may be even better than Drew's organization.
Later generations watched him play for the Spurs, and when he controlled the ball, it seemed like it was stuck in his hands.
"Sorry~"
Jeremy Lin posted on Weibo, but he did not put any pressure on the Knicks. The NBA is a world of the jungle. Unless you prove yourself, no fans will bully you online out of thin air.
Who says Chinese bosses must choose yellow players?
Moral kidnapping is not acceptable.
You can do it, prove it to me!
"A treat and dinner!"
In the evening, it is the annual dinner party for the rookies. In fact, the contract length and approximate salary for them have almost been decided.
George and Hayward toasted Jiang Chao respectfully. The 21-year-old man in front of them was several levels higher than them in terms of basketball literacy and business ability.
In addition to worship, worship.
Didn’t you see what Hayward said in the group after drinking too much at night:
"Stop boasting about my appearance. I am useless in front of the boss. From now on, I will still rely on my skills to make a living."
Curry:
"Then I'm still responsible for the appearance of the team! No one objects to it!"
Ibaka:
"What's the use of good looks? Men have to look at their 'real' abilities."
Okur sent a few laughing emojis and @haywardandGeorge:
"Suggest that you two never go to the bathroom with Ibaka?"
"Why?" George looked cute.
"I'm afraid you will feel inferior."
…
The next day.
The Knicks front office makes another decision.
Hilton-Armstrong's contract will not be renewed.
This was traded with Yao Ming at the time, and it also relieved some of the Knicks' frontline defense needs.
Now that there are three new strikers, the old Rockets player is naturally no longer needed.
Hilton Armstrong has also become a completely free agent, freeing up 2.45 million salary space for the Knicks, which is about the same as a rookie.
This is just a small test, obviously clearing space.
During this period, Jiang Chao was looking for a school for Kyle Anderson and communicating with the Basketball Association on specific naturalization matters. For example, one thing is that it is not mandatory for naturalized players to return to the national team for training.
There is also no compulsion to sign advertising contracts for the national team... To put it simply, it is to make it easier for naturalized players, and not to impose a lot of rules.
Kyle Anderson also saw Jiang Chao's good intentions. If it weren't for Jiang Chao, he might have had a headache for a long time.
But now he can learn knowledge with peace of mind.
There are many universities in New York, such as famous schools, including Columbia University, Jiang Chao’s alma mater, and New York University, both of which are in New York City.
However, none of the above are strong teams in the NCAA, except New York St. John's University, which is a famous school in the NCAA.
In addition, Fordham University, Manhattan College, and Wagner College also offer basketball, but their results are average.
There are few famous basketball universities in New York, but there are many famous basketball high schools, such as Lincoln High School. Many of the New York high school basketball teams went to famous basketball schools.
Therefore, considering both basketball and cultural level, Jiang Chao chose St. John's University in New York for Kyle Anderson.
Why not choose Columbia?
Because Jiang Chao himself studied there for a year, he knew very well that it would be difficult for Kyle Anderson to graduate at this level, so it would be better to rely on basketball majors to score points.
In his previous life, Kyle Anderson actually went to college for one year before entering the draft. For top players, IQ is as important as football intelligence. Jiang Chao has not missed this point.
Wang Dachui took the admission application and asked Jiang Chao excitedly:
"Does this mean I don't have to play CBA anymore?"
"Who said you are going to play CBA?"
Jiang Chao spread his hands, and Kyle Anderson stopped asking further questions.
Sean Marks:
"Come to our office after completing the enrollment process and give the rookie a contract."
"As commanded!!"
Kyle Anderson and his agent were running very fast. Oh my god, the rookie contract is the contract with the home team. This is not the rhythm of going to a foreign league at all.
Enroll quickly!
The most important thing before catching the big fish is the contract for the rookies. This must be calculated carefully, otherwise giving the super giants a little less than the maximum salary may be the trigger of failure.
After all, the maximum salary is here, you can't give it, the rest is provided by the team.
The first one to be negotiated was the last halberd of the Batlan University trident.
Hayward.
41, five-year, 13.7 million rookie contract.
In the fifth year, the old rules only allow player options, which increase year by year, such as 2.36 million, 2.53 million, 2.71 million...
To be continued...
