"Wang, the Warriors' attitude is ambiguous now, we must be prepared."
Bill Duffy quickly put the previous question behind him and said to Wang Feng.
"The next few days are very likely to be the craziest contract extension season in the history of the league, but even so, the suitable teams for you to choose from are limited. This is what I have already inspected and selected for you.
If you are interested in it and it is more suitable for your team, you can take a look."
As he spoke, he handed Wang Feng a stack of documents that were not particularly thick.
"Of course, these are just reference opinions. Your decision is the most important. If you are more interested in any of these teams, I can arrange an interview with their general manager."
Wang Feng took the file and opened it, and the first name he saw was the Houston Rockets.
His eyebrows were raised slightly, but he didn't say anything.
Putting the Rockets first is obviously the intention of Yao's team.
The Rockets are Yao's team in the NBA. They cooperate well with Yao's team and have more say and influence.
And from a business perspective, Wang Feng joining the Rockets can also attract a large number of Rockets fans in China into his own fan camp.
Wang Feng also knows that in the next few years, the Rockets will be the only team in the entire league that is qualified to compete with the five-star Warriors. James Harden, Chris Paul and the Rockets bench bandits won the Best Warrior Award.
.
However, the Rockets were not at all among Wang Feng's goals.
The main reason why Wang Feng did not struggle with the issue of staying with the Warriors is that he did not want to stay with the Warriors and be Curry's little brother.
He doesn't think that with his current ability, he can compete with Harden in the Rockets.
In addition, there is another very important reason why Wang Feng does not consider the Rockets, or it can be said to be a direct reason.
The current general manager of the Rockets is Mo Gou, a fool who should be reconciled.
Wang Feng doesn't want to mention the dog's name, and he won't consider playing for the Rockets, where he works.
Bill Duffy's eyes flickered when he saw Wang Feng casually glance at the Rockets and go straight over, not even interested in seeing the other side's offer and a series of corresponding commitments.
"It seems that this young man does not want to live in the shadow of his predecessors. He is very ambitious..."
Bill Duffy may have misunderstood something.
Then looking down, the ones who were placed in second place were the Los Angeles Lakers.
What Kobe said before was really not casual.
Wang Feng of the Lakers was really interested and even spent a lot of money. He offered a 4-year maximum salary contract worth 94 million US dollars over 4 years.
Due to the limitation of length of service, the maximum maximum salary Wang Feng can sign is this standard, the same as Harrison Barnes.
As a rookie who has only played in the league for two years, it is definitely an exaggeration to be able to sign a maximum salary contract as soon as the minimum salary contract ends. It can also be seen that the Lakers are willing to gamble at all costs.
In fact, this season, team leader Kobe Bryant has just announced his retirement, and the entire Lakers team is in a state of spending money.
After pursuing Durant, Wade and other stars to no avail, the Lakers gave up on themselves. They signed Ruhr for 72 million in 4 years and spent another 64 million in 4 years to steal pure blue-collar center Timofey Mozgov from the Cavaliers.
, Jordan Clarkson renewed his contract with 50 million in the last four years.
Several huge sums of money were taken, and not even a splash was made.
The contracts of Luol Deng and Mozgov have become super garbage contracts that are smelly and long, especially Luol Deng. Until 2022, the Lakers are still paying for the installment payment of Luol Deng's contract.
.
Although the Lakers at this stage are rich in people and money, the management of the team is fighting for power and the team is in chaos. It is really not a good place to be.
Shaking his head slightly, Wang Feng turned over the page.
I have to admit that Wang Feng is really very popular now. Whether it is a strong team in the league that aims to win the championship, or a weak team that wants to perform poorly and gain draft picks and fan market, they all want Wang Feng, who is both offensive and defensive.
, backed by the hot cakes of the Chinese market.
New York Bears Big Bears II, Knicks and Nets.
The traditional giant Boston Celtics.
Some offer maximum salary offers, and some offer core positions, all of which seem to be sincere.
Wang Feng turned the document over to the end and paused slightly.
"Cleveland Cavaliers?"
The Cavaliers actually made an offer?
Wang Feng was stunned, but he didn't expect that the Cavaliers would also participate in his competition.
What is this? If I can’t beat you, I’ll tear you down?
The question is, do the Cavaliers have the money?
Wang Feng remembers it very clearly.
When James returned to the Cavaliers in 2014, he signed a 1+1 contract with a player option for the next year.
In the summer of 2015, James chose to jump out of his contract early and signed a 1+1 contract with the Cavaliers again, with an average annual salary of 23 million.
According to the original historical process, after leading the team to win the championship in 2016, James jumped out of the contract for the second time and re-signed a 2-year "long-term" contract with the Cavaliers instead of the 1+1 in the previous two seasons where he could choose to run at any time.
Road pattern.
The re-signed contract is also the maximum salary after the salary cap has skyrocketed, which has been directly increased from 23 million to 30.96 million!
The Cavaliers already have two players with annual salaries close to 20 million. Love's salary in 2016 is US$21.17 million, and Irving's salary is US$17.64 million. Add in Tristan Thompson's US$15.33 million, which is already exaggerated.
Now coupled with James's initiative to apply for a salary increase to 30 million, the Cavaliers' salary for just four players has reached 85 million!
What kind of offer can such a team provide itself?
Wang Feng casually glanced at the Cavaliers' offer, but paused slightly.
60 million in 3 years.
Can the Cavaliers actually afford a contract with an average annual salary of 2 million?
Is this impossible? Even if James does not choose to jump out of the contract to give himself a promotion and salary increase, the Cavaliers' maximum theoretical salary space should only be about 15 million. Where does 20 million come from?
Thinking of this, Wang Feng couldn't help but look at Bill Duffy in surprise and asked, "Is this offer from the Cavaliers true? Where did they get 60 million in space over three years?"
"It seems that you haven't paid much attention to the recent trading market." Bill Duffy smiled: "In the draft a few days ago, the Cavaliers sent forwards Tristan Thompson and Yinman Shumpert as a package to supplement
Some cash compensation was provided to free up some salary space."
Thompson and Shumpert traded?
Wang Feng really didn't know and didn't expect it.
It seems that after two consecutive years of losing in the finals, James finally couldn't bear it anymore.
Tristan Thompson and Yinman Shumpert are both James' mascots, and their multi-million dollar contracts are premium contracts that James' agent team won for them.
Gilbert, the owner of the Cavaliers, was very much manipulated by James. Even though he knew that the strength of the two men did not match the salary, he could only hold his nose and admit it.
A blue-collar power forward who can only grab rebounds and has no ability to attack the frame will receive 82 million in five years, while another rotation player who averages less than 25 minutes per game will receive 40 million in four years.
Now, after returning to the Cavaliers and failing to win a championship for two years, Lao James is finally anxious. He even does not hesitate to operate on his own teammates and trade them out to free up enough salary space to strengthen the team. After all,
If he can't win the championship again, he will really become a clown!
