I was determined to be bad, but I went straight to the Basketball Hall of Fame

Chapter 226 Money Is Almost Everything (Part [-])
On July 2010, 7, the NBA free market opened, allowing players to contact the team.

In the face of a summer free market with the most big fish in recent years, the management of each team is busy.

I kept making phone calls, making appointments with players to be recruited, negotiating meetings with agents, and so on.

Although only players and the team are allowed to contact and reach a preliminary agreement on July 7, the official contract can only be signed on July 1.

But if nothing else, the agreement reached today is the final result.

In just a few hours, some players became famous and their boots fell to the ground.

Explain that the so-called July 7st is just talking, and the private talks have already started.

The alliance just turned a blind eye and turned a blind eye. Only people like Min Congda who have been exposed will be investigated.

Other signings can't be checked at all. The NBA is a basketball league and not the FBI. It is impossible to keep an eye on the managers and agents of each team.

The relatively heavy signings are basically players staying with the original team.

If Joe - Johnson and the Eagles reached a verbal agreement, will stay in Atlanta.

Paul Pierce and Ray Allen of the Green Army's Big Three will stay in Boston and continue to hit the championship.

Nowitzki remains in Dallas, starting his 13th year with the Mavericks.

And the biggest fish, James, Wade, Bosh, Stoudemire and others have not moved.

Among them, Stoudemire has decided to jump out of the contract, not to implement the option for the last year, and test the free market.

James set the time for his decision on July 7, obviously to give time to discuss team formation with these big-name free agents.

The Heat, Knicks, and Bulls who are expected to get James, the management are all working and contacting multiple parties, hoping to get the favor of the chosen son.

Nets president Thorne told the media: "In my career, I have never encountered this situation. Before, there have been some great free agents, but there have never been so many teams chasing them. This is absolutely unprecedented."

The Nets are also among the teams chasing James, but they have little hope.

In fact, there is a team with great hopes, and that is the Clippers with 2000 million space.

However, starting from July 7, the Clippers will be on vacation and will not participate in signings and transactions.

Min Congda played 2K alone at home, searching for players who met his requirements while playing.

He has to find a way to spend the $2000 million in space.

After careful screening, Min Congda set his sights on two people:

One is the insider of the Spurs, Matt Bonner.

Bonner, a player, stands out as a mediocre player.

As an insider, he likes to shoot three-pointers floating outside.

In Min Congda's view, this is not doing business properly.

A center who is not doing his job properly, bringing him to the team is very in line with his requirements for the inside.

And as a white insider, he has slow speed, poor jumping and average defense.

So, Min Congda found the phone number of Bonner's agent and made a direct call:

"I'm Smart Min from the Clippers. I'm interested in Bonner... what? The Spurs have already offered a contract. I'll double the amount the Spurs pay. Seriously, 1100 million for two years, what? Sample?"

Min Congda is not signing but stealing people. It is obviously expensive to sign Bonner at this price.

But Min Congda didn't care, he didn't want good ones, but expensive ones.

Bonner's agent did not expect the Clippers to be so generous.

The offer given by the Spurs is actually good, but terms are added to it.

Banner is required to meet certain data requirements before being paid in full.

And the amount they gave was 3 million for three years, and the team option for the third year.

Min Congda was exceptionally generous, directly paying 1100 million in two years.

The agent said he would discuss the offer with Bonner.

"Think carefully, doubling the price is not something you can meet everywhere. If he needs better protection, I can also give 1700 million for three years. But the team option for the third year is the same as the Spurs, you know Yes, it may not be possible to get it."

The agent over there even claimed yes, and hung up the phone. Min Congda knew that anyone with a normal mind would agree.

For ordinary players, playing money is the most important thing, and everything else has to stand aside.

Before Bonner gave a definite answer, Min Congda called the agent of his second crush.

That was the No. 2003 pick in [-], but in the end he failed to discover the full potential of the Serbian genius Milicic.

The story about the Pistons missing Wade, Anthony, Bosh and winning Milicic in 2003 can be made into a documentary.

This talented insider who was once placed with high hopes has now been displaced in various teams, and he has never been able to play the value that people expect.

Although there are still teams interested in him, there are not many teams interested in him, and it is not normal.

That's right, it's you, Timberwolves.

Min Congda fell in love with Milicic when he was playing 2K.

Later, through some news channels, it was learned that the Timberwolves were interested in Milicic.

Then Min Congda knew that he had chosen the right candidate.

From the perspective of the Timberwolves, no matter the draft or free market signing, can you be wrong to follow him?

You can't go wrong, it's produced by the Timberwolves, and it's basically a waste product.

So Min Congda repeated his old trick and called Milicic's agent.

Said: "I'm Smart Min, the general manager of the Clippers, and I want to give Milicic an offer... The Timberwolves have already made an offer first? It doesn't matter, I will double the offer from the Timberwolves... No, I don't know, double it, double it." Two hundred. 2 million in 1800 years, how about it? Hey, talk, what? Agreed? Don't think about it?"

Milicic's agent is called Mark - Kostern, is a mercenary and very cunning guy.

The reason why Milicic was selected in the second place at the beginning was not only due to his own strength, but also inseparable from Kostern's operation.

For these agents, each higher position in the rookie's draft will increase their income by one point.

Now, Milicic's value has almost been squeezed out, and suddenly there is a big guy who is willing to offer a two-year 2 million contract.

What is Kostern hesitating about?Of course, he agreed immediately, and the Los Angeles Clippers are a good place and popular.

"Well, okay, then come and sign after July 7, don't come now, our team is on holiday. Yes, it's on holiday, take a good rest!"

After Milicic was settled, Bonner's agent quickly responded, and Bonner agreed to a two-year, 2 million contract with the Clippers.

Sure enough, in the business alliance, money is almost omnipotent.

Why say almost, because for some players, the temptation of the championship is greater.

For example, LeBron James, the Cavaliers can give him a super maximum salary for 6 years.

And if he leaves the Cavaliers, he will definitely not get that much.

But for the sake of the championship, for the sake of honor, the money in the salary contract is not so important.

And for James, salary is only a small amount, and the commercial value after winning the championship is the greater benefit.

From this point of view, James and his team still place the highest economic value.

After signing the team's two positions, Min Congda opened Twitter with the network hidden assistant provided by the system, and sent a tweet using NBA-Batman:
"According to reliable sources, LeBron James' next stop will be the Miami Heat, and he will bring his talents to the South Coast."
