NBA: Top 3D talents to start

Chapter 340 Can't keep Butler, so I'll go?

The unceremonious words made Johnson frown.

Wang Feng was really a little angry this time, and he didn't give the team's theoretically most powerful figure any face.

"Wang, the renewal of Butler's contract belongs to the entire management of the team. It is not completely decided by me alone, and the team owner is also following up on this matter. I can't help it."

Wang Feng narrowed his eyes.

As expected of a legendary point guard known as a magician during his player days, he has a good mind.

Facing him, the hottest player in the team who just won the championship for the team, Johnson did not intend to be tough with him, but moved out the team owner Jenny Buss.

Jimmy Butler's contract renewal is suspended, and Jenny Buss must know about it. Although it's not clear whether Jenny Buss is leading Wang Feng in this matter, the other party definitely supports it. Whether it's the player's strength or the popularity market, Lun Both Nader and Durant are clearly far ahead of Butler.

The owner of the Lakers is one of the few team owners in the league that relies entirely on team income for profit. Although the Lakers are one of the top giants in the league, the financial resources of the team owner are the bottom among the 30 teams. They are just Willing to make more investments for the team in order to get more returns.

As long as the team's market can be expanded, the attitude of the Lakers boss is naturally very clear.

Wang Feng didn't talk to Johnson anymore, but directly called Jenny Buss in front of him.

"Dear king, what's the matter?"

On the other side of the phone, came the soft voice of Jenny Buss.

"Ms. Bass, I'm in the general manager's office right now, discussing Jimmy's contract extension."

Wang Feng didn't exchange pleasantries or politeness at all, and said straight to the point: "I understand the management's desire to make the team better, but my attitude is also very clear. The team must keep Jimmy. He is my important teammate and helper. !With him here, in the next two years we can continue to bring the team two championships and create a dynasty!"

Johnson looked at Wang Feng in astonishment.

A three-peat dynasty declaration?Does Wang Feng know what he is talking about?

How can it be so simple to win three consecutive championships?Even if they were as strong as James and the Warriors, they failed to win three consecutive championships. The last dynasty in the league was the Lakers with the peak OK combination.

Although Wang Feng + Butler's partnership is very strong, it can be clearly seen that the gap with the OK combination is obvious. Even if they just won the championship, they are not regarded as the only super team in the league. Many media even believe that the Lakers won the championship. It's just luck, if Durant of the Warriors is not injured, the championship has nothing to do with the Lakers.

Under such circumstances, why did Wang Feng make such a declaration?Did he think Jenny Buss would believe it?

Of course, Wang Feng is clear that what he says is unsubstantiated, so the second half of the sentence is more important... Threat!
"If you insist on pursuing Leonard, Durant and others, it's not impossible, but I hope the team can find a suitable next home for me before the start of the regular season." Wang Feng's tone became cold. "As long as Jimmy doesn't stay with the Lakers this summer, I will make a trade request."

Behind the desk, Johnson opened his mouth wide and stared blankly at Wang Feng.

Is this guy crazy?To make such an irrational threat for another player!

Wang Feng's status in the league is now at its peak, but even so, he has not yet reached the level of James at his peak, and he was as strong as James back then, and he can completely cover the sky with one hand in the team, and he has never been with the team like this. The boss has spoken.

It’s too unwise to be stubborn like this. After all, the other party is your boss, the person who pays you wages. If your competitive status declines, you will definitely be abandoned without hesitation.

Like Kobe, Duncan, and Nowitzki can enjoy their old age in the team at the end of their careers and retire with glory, not only because they have made outstanding contributions to the team, but also because they are all closely related to the team owner.

But...Wang Feng, who cares about you?

He is very clear about the essence of the alliance as a business field.

The so-called friendship and loyalty are worthless in the face of commercial value and interests.

This is true of any team.

With Wang Feng's current strength, no matter which team he is in, he can get a maximum salary and an absolute core position. He doesn't need to worry about this at all.

For him, the most important thing is the results of the playoffs.

The MVP of the regular season plus the FMVP of the finals, the two purple badges are still very fragrant.

Leonard and Durant are strong, but Wang Feng is very clear about the situation in the next few years.

Durant, who has not suffered a serious Achilles tendon injury, will have a better career path in the future. Wang Feng has no way to be sure, but Leonard will really be like a grandpa in the next few years, and his attendance rate in the regular season is not high. , Injuries stop and go, and the playoffs have intensified, making Paul George a mess.

Originally, the Clippers formed a top-level striker lineup of Leonard and George, which has the potential to win the championship, but three years later, they have not even touched the floor of the Western Conference Finals. Bar?

Moreover, it is uncertain whether these two players will join the Lakers.

Durant has already had the reputation of defecting to the enemy and hugging his thighs because of joining the Warriors. If he turned his head and joined the Lakers who had just won the championship and were still eliminated in the Western Conference Finals, it would be impossible for a lifetime.

Leonard played with the Lakers in another time and space. On the surface, he showed great interest in the Lakers, but behind the scenes, he secretly joined the Clippers and recruited people who were also on the Lakers signing list. George, thanks to the Lakers' desperate trade for the thick-browed brother Davis, otherwise he would really be tricked by Leonard.

Wang Feng's idea is very simple, obviously keeping Butler can ensure the competitiveness of the Lakers, why take that risk?

"..."

Jenny Buss obviously didn't expect that Wang Feng would be so bold, and she didn't know how to answer for a while.

After a while, she said.

"Wang, don't get excited, I understand what you think, and now I will call Irwin to restart Butler's contract renewal."

Facing the tough Wang Feng, Jenny Buss chose to compromise.

Compared with Leonard and Durant, Butler is of course incomparable, but if it is Wang Feng, it will be different.

In the two seasons with the Lakers, Wang Feng has won two consecutive regular season MVPs, two scoring titles, and one finals FMVP.

To put it bluntly, Wang Feng is already the most powerful player in the league at present. This has been from his success in the playoffs to his continuous confrontation with James, Durant, Leonard and others. You can see it.

In addition, Wang Feng is backed by the huge Huaguo market, and his commercial value is second only to James in the league.

Therefore, the current Lakers cannot let Wang Feng go no matter what!
