125【The transfer market is about to open - this is a war】
After leaving the awards ceremony, Jiang Hao did not return to San Antonio, but took a plane to Las Vegas.
There, the agent team of his company led by Ritchie Paul and the public relations team led by Xu Xiaoyi were waiting for him there.
That's right, with the end of the award ceremony, the transfer market will officially open in three or four days, which also means that his next decision will officially come.
To be honest, although there are many "big fish" in the transfer market this summer, including superstars like LeBron and James, the most popular player is undoubtedly Jiang Hao.
Because youth is capital, youth means unlimited potential. Just kidding, which team can remain indifferent to players who win the championship and the Finals Most Valuable Player Trophy in the rookie season?
When Jiang Hao came to Las Vegas, Rich Paul and Xu Xiaoyi had already taken their seats at the booked hotel.
"Jiang, this is a battle, so, in the next week or even half a month, you must be ready for the battle."
Ricci Paul's opening remark surprised Jiang Hao. He didn't expect Ricci Paul to start the topic like this.
"Brother Hao, this is true. Now you are undoubtedly the pursuit target of many teams. In this case, we must be calm and firm in order to be invincible in this game," Xu Xiaoyi also spoke.
Jiang Hao looked at Xu Xiaoyi and Ricci Paul's serious eyes, and nodded randomly.
"Jiang, I'll give you a reply first. As of now, I have received 17 teams quoted, and they all showed interest in you. These teams are from first-tier cities, small cities, wealthy teams, and fish-bottom teams. The only similar thing is that they all seem to have operational space, and their salary space can ensure that they get you. I think the other 13 teams that have not shown interest in you are not really not interested in you at all. They just don't have operational space."
"17?" Jiang Hao was startled by this number. Although he was confident enough in himself, Ye expected that many teams would be interested in him, but he did not expect that there would be so many.
"Jiang, our time and energy are limited, so it is impossible to meet these 17 teams one by one, so I took my own initiative and screened eight or nine teams from them. Look, if you think there is no problem, we will look for the best place from these teams."
Ricci Paul gave Jiang Hao a list neatly.
The first place on the roster is the Houston Rockets.
This made Jiang Hao frown. If he remembered correctly about the Houston Rockets, he had expressed his attitude to Ricci Paul before and he would not go, but why is Ricci Paul still insisting?
"Ritchie, why are there Houston Rockets?"
Jiang Hao turned to ask.
"Jiang, listen to my explanation. I know you don't like Morey. In fact, I don't like that guy either, but we have to consider the conditions they offered. Morey told me that if we choose the Houston Rockets, they will find a way to cooperate with Toyota. You also know that Toyota spends more than 100 million in endorsement advertisements every year."
After listening to Ricci Paul's explanation, Jiang Hao immediately understood that Ricci Paul was attracted by the huge benefits that the Rockets could bring, but he made a historic mistake.
"Ricci, I know your starting point is good, but you should know that I am Chinese, I don't have the heart to embrace all rivers, I will never have business relationships with the Japanese, so I will definitely not be able to endorse the Japanese, so unfortunately, the Houston Rockets must take the lead from this list."
Ricci Paul didn't expect Jiang Hao to be so determined, but this was also within his expectations. Jiang Hao was a very subjective person, and he knew very well.
The name of the second team that caught my eye was the Los Angeles Lakers. To be honest, Jiang Hao's heart was beating a little wildly when he saw the words "Los Angeles Lakers", because before he entered the NBA, he had to admit that his favorite NBA team was the Los Angeles Lakers.
This is the same as many young players.
"Jiang, I personally think that the Los Angeles Lakers are a good choice. Los Angeles is the second largest city in the United States. The Los Angeles Lakers are also a well-known team in the history of the league. Playing for such a team can maximize both exposure and income."
"From the basketball perspective, this team now has a group of talented young people, and the only thing they lack is a leader. With the achievements you have achieved in the season that just ended, you can win everyone's recognition."
Jiang Hao could see that Ricci and Paul highly recommend him to go to the Los Angeles Lakers.
In fact, it was not only Ricky Paul, but also Xu Xiaoyi next to him, who was looking at him at this time.
Jiang Hao knew that Xu Xiaoyi was a well-off Kemi, and she was naturally a fan of the Los Angeles Lakers.
"Okay, put the Los Angeles Lakers in the focus"
Jiang Hao's eyes flashed slightly because his intuition told him that Ritchie and Paul must have something to hide from him about the Los Angeles Lakers. For example, there were rumors in the league a long time ago that LeBron and James' next stop was the Los Angeles Lakers.
As far as he knows, the Los Angeles Lakers have sufficient salary space this summer, enough for them to sign two top players at the same time.
Jiang Hao then looked at the name of the next team again.
In fact, he hopes that the San Antonio Spurs can rank high on the list given to him by Paul Rich, but in fact, what he sees in third place is still not the San Antonio Spurs.
In the end, he saw the San Antonio Spurs at the second to last place.
"Jiang, I know the San Antonio Spurs will be a team you think carefully, but IMHO, it's not very likely that you stay in San Antonio because they simply don't have enough salary space, and even if they want to keep you, there's nothing they can do."
Ricci Paul shook his head regretfully. He knew that Jiang Hao was still obsessed with the Spurs, but from the perspective of an agent, let alone the Spurs really have no salary space to sign Jiang Hao, even if there is, he doesn't want Jiang Hao to stay.
Because in his opinion, if Jiang Hao continues to stay with the Spurs, his chances of becoming the first player in the league in the future will be infinitely lowered. After all, sometimes, if you want to become the league's ranking, sometimes it is not just about relying on the strength of the court.
"Ricci, I understand what you mean, but the San Antonio Spurs must be one of our focus on discussions." Jiang Hao also casually marked the Spurs' name.
Chapter completed!
