The NBA started with helping Iverson win the championship

Chapter 138
Dumas was stunned when he told Li Xun.

Very few players are willing to take the initiative to cut their salaries.

Generally, players who are willing to take the initiative to cut their salaries are veterans who have entered the end of their careers.

In order to compete for the championship, they cut their salaries to increase the team's salary space and obtain stronger teammates.

Young players have more chances of winning the championship in the future. As the old saying goes, you need to make money early, and they are not in a hurry to win the championship.

Although Li Xun said that the salary cut was conditional, Dumars was shocked by the aggressiveness he showed.

"you sure?"

"Winning the championship is not as easy as you think."

"I know you are very strong, but people like Karl Malone or Barkley are also very strong, and they still have no championship in their lives."

"Are you sure you want to take the risk?"

Dumas really regarded Li Xun as his own, and he didn't want Li Xun to suffer a lot.

And based on what he knew about Karen, she would definitely agree to this proposal.

If you win the championship within three years, if you don't win the championship, you will sign a middle class for two years.

If Li Xun can lead the team to win the championship, Karen will be able to sell the Pistons for a good price immediately.

Even if he fails to win the championship for three years, Li Xun will already be considered a super giant in the league at that time, and there will be a super giant with a middle class in the team, which will also greatly increase the market value of the Pistons.

"determine."

"Mr. Dumas, as long as you can get Yao Ming."

"I will definitely return you a championship trophy next year."

Li Xun said solemnly.

He does have such confidence.

The potion was used by Yao Ming to bring Yao Ming back to health.

With his own strength, why can't he win the championship with a super center who is guaranteed to be the top two in the league?
In addition, isn't that going sideways in the east?
When it comes to the Magic again, what will they use to fight the Pistons.

The Cavaliers are even worse, even Li Xun can't handle it. If Yao Ming is added to this, James will not be able to survive at all.

In fact, James also tried to recruit Yao Ming before.

This is not a joke, it is true.

It's not just James. Yao Ming had an affair with the Lakers a few years ago.

Players like Yao Ming are definitely the dream lovers of outside stars competing for the championship. Whoever looks at it will not be confused.

"Well, Karen should agree."

"But Sun Yue will definitely be sent to the Rockets, but DeAndre can keep it."

"Anyway, we just need to kill Sun Yue and replace Yao Ming, and the Rockets can only agree."

"As for the salary balance, Kwame Brown's contract still has one year left, and he can be allocated about 800 million yuan, and the other zeros and zeros can total almost [-] million yuan."

"The contract signed by Sun Yue, he has player options for next season, let him implement the options, and we will sign a new one with him."

"750 million dollars a year."

"This can be regarded as our compensation to the child."

Sun Yue has made great contributions to the Pistons this year. The Pistons can reach the finals, and Sun Yue is a meritorious minister.

As a result, he only got a salary of one hundred thousand dollars from the Pistons, and because of the suspension, he didn't even get one hundred thousand dollars.

Now it happens that the salary needs to be balanced, so Sun Yue is simply cheaper.

If Sun Yue knew the news, he would probably be amused.

Pie in the sky?How much is a pie worth? His salary of 700 million dollars fell from the sky!

Enough to buy a few hundred train skin pies.

The reason why Dumas is so generous is actually because of Li Xun's face.

The relationship between Li Xun and Sun Yue is well known, they both live together, and their relationship is very close.

After talking about Yao Ming's deal, Li Xun asked about the specific time of the draft.

June 6th, about ten days from now.

The East Asian Games will start on July 7. Li Xun is going to finish his draft and leave for Xiangjiang.

This year's East Asian Games will be held in Xiangjiang.

The reason why Li Xun stayed was that after the draft, Curry would become his teammate.

Meet with Curry, bind him, and get his peak three-point ability.

Going to play the East Asian Games in this way is not what you want.

At noon the next day, Li Xun led Sun Yue back to Dumas' office.

The two came today to re-sign the contract.

The boss, Karen, has agreed to Li Xun's three-year contract.

"Brother Li, can you not go?"

When Sun Yue saw the "sky-high price contract" of 750 million US dollars in front of him, he had mixed feelings in his heart.

He didn't want to leave Li Xun at all.

Playing next to Li Xun, I seem to be full of confidence every time I play.

He knows that no matter how well he plays or what he does on the court, he doesn't need to worry about it.

Because Li Xun will protect himself.

Now let himself go to the Rockets alone, he really has a drum in his heart.

What if you go to the Rockets and get bullied?
"Go, go and polish it for a few years."

"Don't worry, no one will bully you when you go to the Rockets."

"After all, you are not what you used to be now, and the Rockets are still counting on you to make money."

Li Xun patted Sun Yue on the shoulder and said comfortingly.

Only then did Sun Yue sign his name on the contract with a bitter face.

When it was Li Xun's turn, he first signed a written contract for a three-year agreement.

It seems that Karen is still worried about Li Xun and the verbal agreement.

The content of the contract is very simple. If he cannot win the championship within three years, Li Xun will sign a mid-level contract with the Pistons in the next two years.

After the three-year contract was signed, Dumars handed over a real player contract.

4600 million in three years.

The starting salary for the first year is 1476 million.

Because of Li Xun's short playing experience, he can only get such a high contract at most now.

Currently the highest salary in the league is Garnett, whose annual salary is as high as more than 2400 million.

Later, Jermaine O'Neal, Kidd, Kobe Bryant, O'Pang, Marbury Duncan and Tracy McGrady all have an annual salary of around 100 million.

Marbury is the coolest one. He played 23 games in Lukai this season, started four games, and finally got a contract of 2084 million US dollars.

At the end of this season, Marbury went to the CBA and officially changed his name to Commissar Ma.

Although the amount of the contract is not high, Li Xun's annual salary is higher than those of the 03 generation. Their annual salary this year is only 1441 million.

The main reason is that when they signed the maximum salary, the team's salary cap was too low.

For such a salary, Li Xun is already very satisfied.

The contract is only a pre-signed contract, and it will take some days to actually take effect.

In the following period of time, Li Xun was not idle and received calls from Dumas almost every day.

Finally, on June 6th, the Rockets and the Pistons reached a verbal agreement before the draft.

The Rockets sent Yao Ming and acquired Sun Yue, Kwame Brown, Walter Sharp, Alex Ake and the Pistons' own second-round pick this year from the Pistons.

Originally, there was no second-round lottery for this deal, but the Rockets, who were so picky, took the attitude of being able to pick a little bit, and did not let go.

Dumas had no choice but to agree in the end.

Anyway, they don't have any favorite candidates for this second-round pick.

If you want to draw a starting-level player in the second round of the lottery, then you have already won the lottery.

If you draw a player at the quasi-All-Star level, you will win the jackpot.

If a player of Li Xun's level is drawn, it is almost equivalent to winning 500 million for one month in a row.
