Chapter 1333 Chasing All Sides ([-])
Among several teams, the Raptors belong to the "reservation" type, which is to express a meaning, while the Bulls, Nets, Hornets, Cavaliers, and Knicks are more sincere.

The Nets have a lot of money, and the current owner of the team is the Chinese boss Cai. Now the Nets lack superstars. They originally aimed at Leonard, but when they knew that Meng Yun did not intend to renew his contract with the Heat , Boss Cai immediately became excited.

What more Leonard, isn't Meng Yun better?
As a Chinese, Boss Cai is naturally very close to Meng Yun, a compatriot. He even went to the scene to watch the game between the Heat and the Nets—to watch Meng Yun play.

If Meng Yun can be signed, the cornerstone of the Nets' team will be there, and there is no need to say more about Meng Yun's strength, whoever signs him will gain but not lose.

Since he was earning money without compensation, and he was his compatriot, Boss Cai didn't hesitate at all, and immediately made a decision, no matter what the price was, he must sign Meng Yun.

So the conditions given by the Nets are the best among several teams.

In order to sign Meng Yun, they are willing to give up the extension of D'Angeno Russell.

Russell played 21+4+7 this season, and even led the Nets to the playoffs, which can be said to be very good.

As a rookie in the same class as Meng Yun, Russell has also reached the contract year. There have been rumors that he will sign a maximum salary contract with the Nets.

But how to choose between Meng Yun and Russell is too simple. Although Russell is very good, he is still much worse than Meng Yun.

Since Russell and Meng Yun have overlapping positions, and as rookies in the same class, Russell's draft pick is still above Meng Yun, and he has tried to beat Meng Yun many times before. There will be conflicts, so the Nets are willing to give up Russell's contract extension.

Moreover, they also promised to further strengthen the team, and are even willing to let Meng Yun designate one or two players, and they will sign as much as possible.

This condition is much more generous than the Bulls' right to use the villa.

You must know that the salaries of nba players are not low, and it is even more impossible for Meng Yun to designate the players that the team will sign.Moreover, it is inappropriate for a player to appoint a teammate, but in order to sign Meng Yun, they still made such a condition.

Of course, Meng Yun's maximum salary contract will not change, 4 million in 1.53 years.

The teams chasing Meng Yun in terms of contract amount are all the same, because Meng Yun is worth the price, which is the most basic sincerity. Meng Yun is not a player who has never won a championship. When Durant joined the Warriors, Being able to cut his salary for the championship is because he has never won a championship before and is very eager, but Meng Yun has already won two championships, so he has no such obsession.

Then there's the Cavaliers.

Since James left the Cavaliers, the Cavaliers have been reduced to a belly, the kind that is at the bottom of the league.

Some people predicted that after James left, Love would become the leader of the team, and he would also get rid of the fate of "Green Leaf", become the protagonist, and usher in a big explosion.

After all, it’s not that Love has never exploded. When he was in the Timberwolves, he was often able to cut 20+20 data. Characters, both in terms of tactical status and statistics, have dropped a lot.

Now that Owen is gone, James is gone, and Love should be liberated.

However, this is not the case. After Irving and James left, the Cavaliers did not give Love enough rights. On the contrary, they were a bit "bad" and wanted to bet on the draft by playing badly, just like chasing James and Irving. If you are lucky, it is impossible to find another player like James, but maybe you can find another Irving?

The team does not strengthen the lineup, and it does not clearly define Love's leadership position tactically. In addition, Love has suffered a lot of injuries in recent years and has been affected a lot. He does not want to explode.

So after one season, the Cavaliers' record is at the bottom of the league.

Now knowing that Meng Yun will leave the Heat, the Cavaliers have moved their minds again. No matter how the draft is, anyway, they succeeded in reaching the bottom of the league last season. Where is Yun's real strength, signing him can rise.

What's more, the management of the Cavaliers is actually not very reconciled. After James left, they renewed a long-term contract with Love, and they can't always mess it up, or Love's contract will fall into his hands.

If Meng Yun can be signed, Love will continue to be his "green leaf" and make some reinforcements, so he may not be able to hit the championship.

So the Cavaliers were moved, and immediately drew up a plan, gave good conditions, contacted Bill Duffy, and wanted to sign Meng Yun.

In addition, the conditions given by the Knicks are also good.

However, the current lineup of the Knicks is indeed not very competitive. They have money, but they are not very smart in spending money. They have spent a lot of money in recent years, but their record has not improved.

And finally the wasps.

Kemba Walker's contract has expired, but he is unwilling to stay in the Hornets, because this team makes him hopeless. He wants to enter the playoffs and compete for the championship.

Moreover, it is said that he gave the Hornets a chance, but the Hornets seemed very stingy before, only willing to give him a 5-year contract of 1.7 million US dollars. You must know that he could have received a 5-year 2.2 million maximum salary contract, even if he said I am willing to cut my salary to help the team build a better lineup, at least it should be a 5-year contract close to 2 million, but now the Hornets are only willing to give a 5-year 1.7 million contract.

This disappointed Walker.

Now that Walker has decided to leave, the Hornets need a new leader, so they started chasing Meng Yun.

This time, Mr. Joe was not so stingy, and he also offered a four-year contract of 4 million US dollars, but the prospect of the Hornets is indeed not optimistic, and the lineup is really not competitive. Thom averaged only 1.53 points per game.

Speaking of which, it's Mr. Qiao's fault again. His picky vision has been criticized by people all the time, and it's not chaotic, it's really questionable.

For example, Batum, Batum played well in the Trail Blazers, but he was still just good, but Mr. Joe proudly gave him a five-year $5 million contract, which made many people say I don't understand, I think Batum is not worth the price.

It turns out that this is indeed the case. Batum, who played well in the Trail Blazers, got a big contract, but after he got to the Hornets, he played worse and worse. His five-year 5 million big contract is called the most in history. Water contract.

In addition, Biyombo, who averages 4.4 points per game, has an annual salary of 1700 million, and Marvin Williams, who averages 10.0 points per game, has a salary of 1400 million. He also averages 10 points per game, but as a center, he averages only Zeller, who has 6.8 rebounds, has an annual salary of 1350 million US dollars, and Michael Gilchrist, who averages 6.7 points, 3.8 rebounds and 1.0 assists per game, has a salary of 1300 million US dollars.

It is worth mentioning that the team's head star Kemba Walker averaged 25.6 points, 5.9 assists, and 4.6 rebounds per game last season, but his salary was only 1200 million.

Not to mention other things, just look at the salary structure of the Hornets to know why this team can't achieve results and can't make the playoffs.
