The NBA started with helping Iverson win the championship

Chapter 350 Anthony has a home and cannot return
There are currently [-] teams in the league, and the representatives of each team secretly held a closed-door meeting.

Li Xun didn't know that this kind of meeting had been held before, and Cuban didn't even mention it to him.

It may be because they are afraid of affecting the great cause of the Mavericks' dynasty this year.

Of course, Cuban is thinking that Li Xun can stay with the Mavericks, because Li Xun can not only lead the team to win the championship, but also guarantee the box office.

When Li Xun came to the Mavericks, he signed a contract for four years. Now he has only played for three years. In any case, Li Xun can still play for the Mavericks for at least one year.

Even if Li Xun wants to stay with the Mavericks, he can still sign a five-year contract.

It is definitely the dream of any NBA boss to have Li Xun all the time.

It is precisely because of this that this meeting was brought about.

Except for Cuban, all other owners voted unanimously. Their idea is very simple, a team for three years, with luck, Li Xun might be able to transfer to their team.

Although Li Xun can only stay for three years after joining their team, this is enough.

Li Xun won three championships for the Mavericks in three years.

When it comes to their team, even if there is no way to build a dynasty, at least one or two championships are no problem.

You must know that at least half of the teams in the league have never tasted the taste of winning.

This kind of resolution that obviously cannot be put on the table will definitely not be made public to the outside world. Even if Cuban loses his nerve and exposes the matter, other bosses will not admit it, and Cuban will have nothing to do.

The most important thing is that Cuban is not so nervous that he is really an enemy of the entire league.

"Don't you all need to ask my opinion?"

Li Xun was very upset, what this group of people did this time was really a bit too much.

"Of course I want to ask for your opinion, am I not asking for your opinion now?"

"When this matter is settled, I can retire with peace of mind."

"Li, in fact, this matter is not harmful to you, nor is it harmful to the league or any team."

"Even for the fans, there's no harm in that they're going to have a very lively offseason."

"After all, everyone wants to know which lucky team is your next home."

Stern said with a half-smile.

Li Xun sighed silently. Stern's words were correct. If he announced that he would leave the Mavericks, it would be really exciting.

Definitely liven up the whole offseason.

The league can make more money, the team can win the championship, the fans can watch the excitement, and Stern can retire with peace of mind. The key point is that Li Xun is actually not bad. Building a dynasty from scratch in multiple teams adds to his legend.

Looking at it this way, everyone is really happy.

However, Li Xun felt somewhat conflicted when he thought that he had to start building the lineup from scratch again.

Now this Mavericks team is ridiculously strong, and he spent a lot of effort to build it.

It is already so strong now, and it will only get stronger in the future. When Antetokounmpo, Embiid, and Jokic have fully grown up, what kind of scene will it be?

Thinking about it is incomparably spectacular.

In addition, Li Xun also has a headache about the choice of next family.

Choosing a new home is not an easy task, and many factors must be considered.

"Well, since you've said that, there's nothing I can do about it."

"I can only agree."

"But I can't just leave the team right? How do the Mavericks fans explain it?"

"Also, at least you have to give the Mavericks some compensation, right?"

Li Xun began to bargain.

He still has a lot of affection for the Mavericks. In the past three years, the Mavericks have treated him very well.

The boss Cuban has been delegating power to Li Xun, and the general manager Nelson has completely become a puppet.

Even so, little Nelson didn't complain at all, and has been cooperating with Li Xun's work.

"Compensate Mavericks? What are you kidding?"

"They have won three consecutive championships. In the past three years, Cuban has earned at least [-] million U.S. dollars."

"Even if you leave, the Mavericks' lineup still has a great chance of winning the championship in the new season. How dare they ask for compensation?"

"As for the Mavericks fans, you don't have to worry about it."

"You are a player option next season and you can leave at any time. You have already won the dynasty for the Mavericks. If the Mavericks fans are not satisfied with this, why do you care about such fans?"

Stern said angrily that in the past three years, Cuban has indeed made money crazy.

After getting out of the car, Li Xun was like a dream. He had just won the championship on his front foot, and Stern came to tell him the news on his back foot.

It's really bad luck.

But there's nothing he can do about it. Li Xun can only go back and think about which team he should choose next.

The west side is not considered.

Li Xun came from the Eastern Pistons to the Western Mavericks. If he leaves the West, he should return to the East.

Nets?

Go fight with Ah Lian for three years?
It seems pretty good.

Go to the Chicago Bulls and help Rose win a championship?
Make it up to Ross?
It seems to work too.

To the Washington Wizards?When you get there, you will have teammates with two guns in the backcourt, and you can build a super powerful without any effort.

also.

Li Xun laughed as he thought about it, as if there were quite a few teams in the Eastern Conference to choose from.

The championship parade will take place three days later.

After the championship parade ended, Cuban finally found Li Xun.

"Li, these three years should be the happiest three years since I acquired the Mavericks."

"I believe Stern has already told you about the matter. I really have no choice. I only have one person, but they have 29!"

"What are you going to do next?"

"Exercise your player option, or let us trade you?"

"I think it's better to trade. Don't think that I want to take advantage of you in the end. If you trade you, the fans will be more acceptable."

"It won't have too much of a negative impact on you."

Cuban said sincerely.

He really wanted to do something for Li Xun in the end.

If Li Xun implements the player option, it means that he gave up the Mavericks.

But if he is traded, the situation is completely different, which is equivalent to saying that the Mavericks gave up on him.

Li Xun nodded, "Okay, let's make a deal."

"By the way, I want to take someone away, Jokic."

"Can you?"

Li Xun still couldn't bear Jokic.

Forget about Embiid, his pick is too high, and Cuban regards him as a baby bump.

And Jokic's pick is very low, and Nukic's performance is much better than him now, so except for Li Xun, others in the Mavericks don't pay much attention to Jokic.

Players like Jokic, in fact, are caught by the NBA every year, and many are eliminated every year.

Entering the league with a low pick, there are strong stars or strong rookies in the same position in the team, and then they cannot get performance opportunities. Maybe one season, maybe two seasons, such players will completely disappear in the league.

And Jokic's situation is even worse. In the same position, there is Gobert, who has been selected as an All-Star, and then the powerful rookie Nukic who has played well.

Finally, there is Embiid with a promising future.

Jokic is certainly unlikely to receive too much attention.

"Okay, I originally planned to let you take Nukic away, and I feel that his potential is stronger."

"But it seems that you have always looked at Jokic better, so take Jokic away."

Cuban seems to be buying a dowry for his daughter.

The two didn't talk for long, and this moment of parting really made people a little sad.

Just when Li Xun stayed in Dallas, thinking about how to choose his next home, the entire league was undercurrent.

The outside world does not know that Li Xun has confirmed to leave the team.

But the owners of the various teams in the league must know, because they voted for this matter.

In other words, Li Xun will change clubs this offseason, and their team is one of the choices.

Countless people called Cuban, and they wanted to ask Cuban if he had any inside information from Li Xun.

There are even some teams, even if they don't know Li Xun's current plan, they directly contact Cuban and give them a very sincere bargaining chip, wanting Cuban to help.

The Timberwolves are definitely generous. They are willing to give this year's No. [-] pick. In addition, any player in the team, even including Love, as long as the Mavericks want it, they can give it all.

In order to get Li Xun, the Timberwolves are completely crazy.

The No. [-] pick plus an All-Star starter, Love, and any other players the Mavericks want, is enough to see how terrifying Li Xun's value is.

Not only the Timberwolves, but those weak chicken teams with high draft picks have now tried their best.

Regardless of what was in the team, they all took it out in one go, trying to trade Li Xun with the Mavericks.

And Cuban still has a bottom line, maybe because of these three melons and two dates, he really looks down on him.

Are the Mavericks still short of players?Li Xun has already stocked up a large wave of super rookies for the Mavericks.

It doesn't make sense to make a small profit, and the whole eating looks too ugly.

You must know that these chips are actually Li Xun's chips in the future, and now they are all given to the Mavericks. After Li Xun joined the past, it means that he has nothing in his hands.

Although Li Xun has left the team, after ten or eight years, what if Li Xun still wants to come back?
It is said that a team can only stay for at most three seasons, but it did not say that it cannot come back after leaving.

It is not impossible to go to other teams to play for three or six years, and then return to the Mavericks.

In addition to the fact that these weak teams are willing to give a lot of chips, those playoffs without chips, of course, they are also very excited.

But they don't have draft picks in their hands, and the Mavericks don't seem to like the stars of the team very much.

So they definitely don't expect to get Li Xun through a trade, they can only count on to see if Li Xun will implement his player option next, and then join as a free agent.

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, it is the eve of the draft.

If the Mavericks want to trade Li Xun out, they must make a decision now.

At this last moment, the teams started to do everything they could to compete for Li Xun.

The owner of the Knicks, James Dolan, went crazy.

He sits in New York, the largest football market in the world, and he finished the last season with a record that was almost sprayed to death by the fans.

And this season has already got the opportunity to recruit Li Xun, how could he miss it.

Even Li Xun was thinking that he was restricted to one team and could only stay for three years. This matter was probably led by Dolan.

The Knicks first released a big news. They directly signed a free agent Yi Jianlian with a four-year maximum salary contract of 4 million US dollars.

The UAE is now a free agent, but it's not that there are no teams that want him, and there are quite a few teams that can give him a maximum salary.

But he still chose to stay in New York, probably because of his habit of living.

Of course, it may be that the Knicks gave him some promise.

After signing the UAE, Dolan immediately made another move and signed the free agent Sun Yue.

And the money given was also a lot, and a four-year contract of 5000 million US dollars was directly given.

There must still be a big gap from the maximum salary, but this contract must have a premium.

This is not over yet. After signing Sun Yue, the Knicks official website released the news overnight.

They changed the head coach and hired Hornacek Sr. as the team's head coach for the new season.

The official salary has not been announced, because the coach's salary can be kept secret.

But seeing old Hornacek's mouth-to-mouth smile at the press conference, the contract is definitely not bad.

The Knicks have always been rich and powerful. They don't have to buy the right ones, but they must buy expensive ones.

Looking carefully at the Knicks' lineup, players can have no strength, but they can't be famous or gimmick.

One operation after another, Nix's careful thinking is simply Sima Zhaozhi's heart, and everyone knows it.

Everyone knows that the Knicks' operations are all for Li Xun.

First, they got Li Xun's two compatriots into the team. After all, everyone knew that Li Xun had always taken extra care of his compatriots.

In domestic competitions, he never fails.

Then he got the old father-in-law who had no experience to the Knicks, which obviously still wanted to have something to do with Li Xun.

After Li Xun saw the news, he couldn't help being curious, so he called old Hornacek.

He wanted to ask how much money the Knicks paid.

Because the old Hornacek led the team well in the Suns, why did he suddenly think about going to New York.

Li Xun remembers that under normal circumstances, after Hornacek left the Suns, it seemed that he was indeed coached by the Knicks.

After learning the answer from old Hornacek, Li Xun couldn't help being speechless.

The Knicks really are rich and powerful.

They actually gave the old Hornacek, who has almost no resume, a three-year super contract of 3 million U.S. dollars!

Li Xun was speechless, this salary might even be higher than his own.

Is there such an outrageous thing in the world?

"Lee, come on."

"Come to New York!"

"Here are your brothers and lovers."

"And I."

"I believe we can create a dynasty again in the Knicks."

The old Hornacek is not the kind of person who just takes money and does nothing. He is very clear about the purpose of the Knicks giving him so much money.

Li Xun was stunned.

What he thinks in his mind now is not whether to go to New York, but about Anthony.

In this way, wouldn't Anthony be finished?
He originally wanted to come to the Mavericks for a championship and then return to New York.

It's fine now, it was fine when I came out, and I can't go back now.

The UAE has a maximum salary, and Li Xun's fourth-year contract is also a maximum salary. The Knicks still have many large contracts, and they cannot afford Anthony's maximum salary.

It is equivalent to saying that now Anthony has a home and cannot return.
