The NBA started with helping Iverson win the championship

Chapter 146 Pistons New Season Lineup

"By the way, the contract between Rashid and Allen has been renewed?"

Li Xun asked curiously.

In fact, what he mainly wanted to ask was Iverson's contract.

If there is no accident, Green Kai may still provide Rashid with a 2-year contract of 1200 million US dollars.

If the Pistons match this contract, the salary will be tighter.

But it's hard to say. Under normal circumstances, Rasheed left the Pistons because he wanted to win another championship before retiring.

Now that the Pistons have reached the finals, Rasheed may cut his salary to stay in the Pistons.

After all, the Pistons are his home, and no one would think of leaving home unless it is absolutely necessary.

"Both are very interested in staying."

"However, the specific contract has not yet been negotiated."

"We offered Rashid an offer of 2 million for two years, and Allen offered 800 million for one year."

Dumas informed Li Xun of the current situation.

Li Xun nodded, these two quotations are also suitable.

After all, under normal circumstances, Iverson left the Pistons and only signed 350 million for one year with the Grizzlies.

"Where's Artest?"

Li Xun asked again.

"He is tricky, and the Lakers are currently contacting him."

"I feel like he is more inclined to join the Lakers."

"I'm fighting for it. If it doesn't work, I'll give him a bigger contract."

Dumars has been worrying about Artest recently.

The attractiveness of Detroit and Los Angeles to players is completely different.

Young players like the nightlife in Los Angeles, and there are countless actresses and models.

The veteran likes the well-developed supporting facilities in Los Angeles, and settles in Los Angeles, so that his children can enjoy better education in the future.

In Detroit, there is nothing you want, because the number of black people is increasing, and the city ZF is about to go bankrupt.

In addition, playing in Los Angeles can also enjoy a higher degree of attention.

The higher the attention, the faster the money will come.

So even if the Lakers give less, Artest is definitely more willing to go to the Lakers.

"Ok."

Li Xun was a little disappointed, of course he hoped to win Artest.

Because winning Artest means that the strength of the Pistons and the Lakers will ebb and flow.

The Lakers got weaker, the Pistons got stronger.

Chances of winning will be higher.

Now Li Xun can only hope that Dumars can successfully win Artest.

In his previous life, Li Xun thought that the executives of the team were a bunch of guys who did not work for food.

Now it seems that their life is not as comfortable as they thought.

At least during the offseason, they were extremely busy every day.

"Also, you made me pay attention to the Cavaliers Suns trade."

"They actually traded, and Shaq was sold to the Cavaliers."

Dumars' tone was full of shock. He couldn't figure out how Li Xun knew that the two teams would trade.

He, an old fritter who has been in the league for so many years, hadn't seen any sign of a trade between the two teams before.

Unexpectedly, Li Xun could be sure that Shaq would be sold to the Cavaliers.

"Okay, wait a minute."

"Ben will be waived by the Suns next, and we are ready to sign him."

Li Xun said confidently.

Dumas was in a trance. Looking at Li Xun's series of operation suggestions this year, he felt that he was not qualified to be the general manager.

Every successful transaction seems to be operated by Li Xun.

Now if you can sign Daben with the veteran contract, it will undoubtedly be a good thing.

……

After hanging up the phone, knowing that Daben would join the Pistons for sure, Li Xun's mood improved a lot.

If Artest can be obtained smoothly, the Pistons' lineup for the new season will be very good.

The insiders include Yao Ming, Jordan Jr., Da Ben, and Rasheed.

Two pure blue-collars, two offensive insiders, can be used together, one offense and one defense.

Little Jordan with Rasheed, Yao Ming with Ben, or simply double Wallace reappeared.

Except for Jordan, everyone else is a seasoned veteran.

Even Jordan, at least he has experience in the finals now, and he can no longer be viewed as a newcomer.

Forward and defensive players include Li Xun, Prince, Artest, Hamilton, Stackhouse.

Good at scoring, good at defense, good at holding the ball, good at off the ball.

Also enough.

The point guard has Iverson, Curry and Mad Dog Beverly.

It also looks absolutely luxurious.

There are four insiders, five forwards and guards, and three point guards, which happens to be a 12-man roster.

Make up three drinking fountain guards, and a roster of 15 people is enough.

Absolutely perfect one staffing.

Looking at it this way, the new season of the Pistons is really promising.

Li Xun was playing the East Asian Games, but Ke Xin had already flown to the Palace of Auburn Hills.

He is looking forward to the start of the new season.

……

I slept until nine o'clock in the morning.

Li Xun's sleep quality was very good, and he slept soundly.

When he woke up and opened his eyes, he saw a large group of people standing beside his bed.

It was Dazhi and the others.

At this moment, everyone was staring at him with strange eyes.

Li Xun quickly wrapped himself in the quilt, what's the matter?

"Brother Zhi, what are you doing?"

"Speak well if you have something to say, don't use rough things, even hard things."

Dazhi didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Li Xun, you have kept us a secret!"

"Trading Dayao to your Pistons, such a big thing, he didn't disclose it to us at all."

"Sun Yue is the same, his mouth is really strict."

Sun Yue quickly waved her hand, "Brother Li told me not to speak out, what can I do?"

"It's not that you don't know Brother Li's temper."

Li Xun got up, it turned out that everyone got the news that Yao Ming was traded to the Pistons.

"I thought something was wrong."

"Isn't NBA trading a normal thing? I also want to surprise Brother Yao."

"Surprise?" Dazhi and the others exclaimed.

"Scared is not bad, you almost scared Dayao to death."

"He called you at five o'clock in the morning, but he didn't get through, so he called us again."

Li Xun quickly glanced at his muted phone, as expected, there were more than a dozen missed calls from Yao Ming.

"Forehead."

"As for what?"

"Then you guys go out first, I'll call Brother Yao back."

Li Xun was also heartbroken. Before this deal, he didn't say hello to Yao Ming at all.

He won't be angry, will he?
"Hello, hello? Li Xun?"

"Confused! You are so confused!"

"Why did you agree to the deal? Isn't it obvious that you were cheated?"

"You don't want to win the championship?"

"What on earth is your Pistons management doing? Knowing that it is a big pit, you still jump into it."

As soon as the phone was connected, Yao Ming shouted angrily.

He was really in a hurry.

The Rockets did not communicate with him before the transaction. He only learned that he was sold to the Pistons an hour before the transaction.

I am sure that I am very clear about my injuries.

Absolutely useless.

Even when Yao Ming was interviewed later, he said that he thought about retiring directly in 09.

If he didn't know that his career was over, how could he have the idea of ​​retiring.

Now that the Pistons traded themselves over, they were obviously cheated.

What else can I do now?Can't play at all!
A salary close to 1700 million is enough to introduce an All-Star in his prime.

The Pistons led by Li Xun made it to the finals this year, and giving him an All-Star will greatly increase the chances of winning.

And if he traded himself, he would not be able to help Li Xun at all.

The reason why he was so anxious was that he was afraid that he would delay Li Xun's supposedly perfect career.

As someone who has experienced it, he knows too well how fatal player injuries are to the team.

"Brother Yao, the transaction has been completed, so what can we do?"

"Don't think too much about it. There is an old saying that there is no unparalleled road."

"You take good care of your injuries now, maybe you can recover from your injuries tomorrow?"

Li Xun said with a smile without haste.

His indifferent attitude made Yao Ming so angry that he hung up the phone directly.
