Showdown, I'm the God of Basketball

Chapter 31 News from Manager Zhan

Of course, just one Sun team is not enough to reflect the chaos of the Western Conference this season.

McGrady, one of the top four players, joined Mosaic and formed an incredible MM combination with Yao Ming. The West once again turned out to be a championship configuration of top center and top guard.

Rashard Lewis and Ray Allen's former Thunder team, the Sonics, are also ready to go, intending to stir up a bloodbath in the league.

What's more, there are veteran teams like the Spurs and Mavericks in the West.

Therefore, let alone wanting to win the championship, Kobe just wants to get tickets for the playoffs from these strong teams.

After all, the Lakers dynasty collapsed in an instant, and those teams that had been suppressed for several years finally saw the hope of the playoffs and even the championship, so a major expansion is inevitable.

For example, when James, who has entered the finals eight times in a row, decided to go west, all the Eastern teams shouted that it was dawn.

Teams such as the 76ers, Bucks, Raptors, Celtics, and Heat do not hesitate to pay a high price, and even prefer to pay an expensive luxury tax to enhance the strength of the team.

It is also under such a background that Toronto's ice and snow finally ushered in their first championship.

Say far, say far.

Zhao Hao recovered from his thoughts, and felt distressed inexplicably looking at the strong and stubborn old Ke.

Even if the memories of the previous life are left alone, after getting along with Kobe in this life, Zhao Hao obviously feels that he has established a good friendship with the blacksmith.

Although Kobe has never admitted it, even when the team is running tactics, Corvo is passing the ball more to Zhao Hao, which is enough to explain everything.

Kobe bent.

cough cough.

After finishing the tactical training, Zhao Hao dragged his exhausted body back to the apartment.

To be honest, the Lakers' tactics are not very difficult, although compared with the exaggerated 7-second tactics of the Suns, it is still a bit more difficult, but Zhao Hao can understand it completely, and can run the tactics well.

Judging from the joint training in the team and the current tactical drills, Zhao Hao can be sure that he is a proper rotation leader in the Lakers.

At least in terms of playing time, it is definitely more than the two guys Vujacic and Wharton.

Of course, Zhao Hao definitely does not have the status of the best sixth man. After all, even if Tang Shuai decides that the team will play fast, he is more willing to trust the insider bench bandit Brian Grant.

Zhao Hao has seen Grant's defensive ability with his own eyes, it's really tough.

On this point, Zhao Hao said without hesitation that in the entire Lakers team, only Kobe and Grant had better defensive ability than him.

As for Vujacic and Wharton, they are all chattering.

So Zhao Hao can rest assured of his playing time in the preseason.

"But that's not enough. The Lakers general manager Kupchak, that big fool, doesn't know what's wrong. He's been targeting me. I'm afraid even if I show my indispensability in the Lakers, that guy may still Won't give me a contract."

Zhao Hao said very speechlessly.

After all, from the beginning to the present, Kupchak's contempt for him is too obvious, otherwise how could there be such a shameful short-term contract.

At this time, the door of the apartment was violently opened, and Aden rushed to Zhao Hao in a hurry.

"I want to tell you a shocking good news!"

Zhao Hao saw that there was still a red mark on this guy's cheek, and said angrily, "Don't give me any good news or bad news, can you explain to me where you have been these few days?"

"Um, I'm going to rescue the girl who lost her footing and bring her back to life, and help the little sister to cross the road." Aden realized what was on his cheek, and quickly wiped it off.

Seeing Zhao Hao's naive expression, Aden quickly smiled shyly, and then talked about the main reason why he had to rush back after giving up the crucial 5-minute sprint.

"Jim Paxson, general manager of the Cavaliers, called me just now, saying that he appreciates you very much and hopes that after the preseason, you can go to Cleveland and discuss with him about playing for the Cavaliers."

After listening to Aden's words, Zhao Hao couldn't help but think of the party at Anthony's house.

That time Bosh had a big fight overnight. Not right!It's not about this, it's about James inviting him to play with the Cavaliers.

Well, to be honest, Zhao Hao never thought that James would actually persuade the general manager of the team to invite him to play with the Cavaliers, regardless of money or not. As far as this ability is concerned, he really deserves to be Manager Zhan.

"By the way, did Jim Paxson raise any money?" Zhao Hao said shamelessly.

"I briefly mentioned that I am willing to give us a maximum salary contract of up to three years." Aden raised his head and said in thought.

hiss!
Maximum salary contract!

Are you sure you are talking about the maximum salary contract!
Remembering that the system's current signing fee is still a big 0, Zhao Hao completely lost his ability to resist.

If you can sign a maximum-salary contract right now, wouldn't all your abilities be capped directly, and you could instantly become a Super Saiyan?
Thinking about Kobe Bryant's top salary of hundreds of millions, or other players' annual salary of tens of millions a year, Zhao Hao's heart suddenly sued.

"How much is that!" Zhao Hao stood up excitedly and asked.

"Well, let me think about it, it should be about 3 million in three years." Aden stretched out his fingers and said after estimating for a while.

WC!

"You call 3 million for three years a maximum salary contract?" Zhao Hao calmed down and said with a displeased expression.

Not to mention that this pot of cold water really made Zhao Hao sober.

After all, he is just a rookie who hasn't even played an NBA game. How could he just give Kobe a contract worth hundreds of millions so casually.

No matter how remote the Cavaliers' place is, and the big-name players are no longer willing to go, the team management is not so stupid as to give a super contract casually.

Aden saw Zhao Hao's confused expression, and explained: "Hey, buddy, what are you thinking, you don't really think that your maximum salary contract is exactly the same as Kobe's!

What kind of big plane are you flying, you are just an overseas player who did not participate in the draft, and you can only sign with the team as a non-draft.

Now the maximum salary you can get is just over $100 million, and the contract period cannot exceed 3 years. "

Hearing Aden's explanation, Zhao Hao finally understood the tricks. Well, he is not an agent after all, so he doesn't understand this at all.

"If I only sign for one year, what is the maximum salary for the next year?" Zhao Hao suddenly asked the following question like a curious baby.

"If you only sign for one year, then you will become a restricted player, which means that the previous team will have your matching rights, and he can match any contract that the team offers you.

In the NBA 0-7 years, your maximum salary contract is 25% of the salary cap of the year, of course other clauses can be triggered, such as staying on the same team for three consecutive years can trigger the Bird clause, and there are more special designated players Contracts, these can increase your maximum salary cap. "

Yading, who had been talking for a long time, suddenly understood something, looked at Zhao Hao in shock and said, "Wait, you don't think you can get a maximum salary contract in a year's time, do you?"
