All I Really Want Is To Play Basketball Chapter 265: May be the strongest lineup in history (thanks to Bameng for joining the silver…
After the official break with the Bulls boss Reinsdorf, Jordan, who was only left with Option C, was completely overwhelmed.
Although different historical developments will lead to different results, similar to Su Feng's previous life, Jordan, who wants to choose to continue in this life, is currently facing a problem he cannot avoid...
That is, according to the labor-management agreement that has been released, without renewing the contract with the Bulls, there are actually not a few next-generation companies on the market that can sign Jordan and satisfy Jordan.
Jordan's trouble stems from the maximum salary system introduced by the NBA in this labor negotiation.
Under the maximum salary system, the maximum salary that Jordan can get in the new season is related to the number of years he has played in the NBA and the salary cap for next season.
In other words, it is absolutely impossible for Jordan to get a salary like 30 million a year that year.
Furthermore, according to the rules, Jordan, who does not renew his contract with the parent team, not only does not get the theoretical maximum salary, in addition, he will also lose the bird rights.
And this also means that unless the team has ample cap space, the teams that love Jordan can't even sign Jordan.
As for choosing a salary cut?
In Jordan's view, that is absolutely impossible.
Because it is different from the future return of the Wizards to seek shares in the Wizards, the current Jordan has not degraded to the level of Wizards Joe, and secondly, regardless of whether he renews the contract with the Bulls, he is recognized as the number one in the league. one person.
Therefore, the first person in the league chose to cut the salary. In Jordan's view, even if he got it, he couldn't do it.
So, after noticing the joke made by Su Feng...
Don't tell me, Jordan really thinks the Raptors are a good place.
First of all, Jordan, who is unwilling to cut his salary, can theoretically be signed by the Raptors.
Because...
You may not believe it.
After the lockout seal was lifted and the team's uniform team began to resume work, the Raptors general manager Grewward now worry about the most:
These rookie contracts for the Raptors...
Failed to meet the new NBA regulations!
According to the new regulations introduced by the NBA, not only will you be fined if you exceed the luxury line, but if your team's total salary is less than 80% of the salary cap, you will also be fined.
And obviously, the distance under the Raptors' eyes is more than ten thousand miles away from this standard?
Grewward feels like a cup.
Because other general managers are trying to save money, but because he is over-saving, now he must find a way to spend money.
Also, don't look at this Raptor with a penetrating perspective.
Because whether it is McGrady, Carter or Nash, they are all "weak chickens" who have not yet exchanged their talents.
To put it bluntly, the only card face of this Raptors is Su Feng.
And this is exactly where Jordan thinks the Raptors have something to do.
After all, if the Raptors had no one or anyone, Jordan, who was unwilling to cling to but wanted to win the championship, would not be able to consider them.
At the Chicago Heroes Conference, Jordan, who felt Su Feng's terrifying speed of progress, would not even have to be entangled if he did not recognize Su Feng's strength.
In Jordan’s view, although Su Feng is a thorn in his heart, if he can really cooperate with Su Feng, then he is still an "old gangster" who has not returned the double business to God. In other words, it is also a wise choice.
Because in the latter part of his career, the more he knew that basketball was played by five people, the more Jordan was greedy for helpers like Su Feng and Pippen.
So, don't look at what Su Feng said in the interview was a joke, but Jordan really seriously considered the Raptors choice.
Here, you see, as a new team, going to the Raptors on your own will not only not be considered as a group but for money like going to the Knicks and the Blazers.
Instead, people think that they just choose to continue for the sake of basketball dreams.
And the Raptors with Su Feng, as long as they have their own participation, although they can't become a championship team in a short time, but as long as they can activate the adult network and recruit two helpers, then this fierce team Long looks promising in Jordan's eyes.
You know, I think I can beat him, but if I want to win another championship, go and tell Lanesdorf:
Today you are indifferent to answering me, and tomorrow I will let you uphill.
It's a pity...
After thinking about where the Raptors should go, Jordan finally gave up.
Because...
As the Raptors were unable to become a championship team in a short time, Su Feng's contract that was about to expire next season completely extinguished the idea of Jordan who wanted to win another championship and retire.
Under Falk's analysis, Jordan knew that the Raptors could not give himself a long contract.
Because they must reserve enough salary space to ensure that they renew their contract with the 20-year-old Su Feng after the end of next season.
After all, Jordan is a **** no matter what, but his 36-year-old...
Even if the IQ of the Raptors uniform group is so low, it is impossible to make the decision to choose Jordan instead of Su Feng.
Therefore, it was impossible to win the championship in the short term, and the Raptors boss was still a poor match, so although Su Feng was very greedy, Jordan finally chose to give up the Raptors option.
"Well, it's a pity, if the Raptors can have more courage, as long as you give me three years, then I will definitely win the championship again."
On this day, Jordan said silently sad.
……
And just when Jordan was sad...
On January 20, with the finalization of the NBA labor agreement, Stern has officially announced that the 98/99 season will restart on February 5.
At the same time, the NBA free agency market will also reopen.
On the 20th, in accordance with the new labor agreement, the Raptors and Carter formally signed a contract.
Starting from the 98/99 season, rookies’ contracts will change from a three-year system to a four-year system.
In the future, the salary of rookies will also be determined according to the salary cap standard and their draft rank.
From the perspective of team building, the four-year rookie contract will be more conducive to the operation and construction of small and medium teams.
But from the player's point of view, the rookies in the future will not have as much operating space as the three-year players like Su Feng.
In the new season, Carter, who will be wearing the No. 15 jersey for the Raptors, was full of expectations for the Raptors at the signing ceremony.
This past summer, Carter, who had been practicing with Su Feng, after listening to Su Feng’s experience at the Chicago Heroes Conference, felt that people looked down on the Raptors too much.
Just...
No matter how Carter expressed his attitude, in the eyes of reporters and fans, he and Su Feng are too naive.
Wake up, Vince, we were at the bottom last season. Be realistic, you are a rookie!
Hey, I have to say that what Carter said is also the truth, but why is that no one wants to believe it?
It is worth mentioning that on the 20th, the Raptors announced that they had signed with Big Ben just after the free agent market was released.
For 5 years, $27.5 million. Judging from the salary standard at this time, the Raptors' contract this time is indeed full of sincerity.
You know, in Su Feng's previous life, Big Ben had to wait three years to get such a contract.
If Su Feng remembers correctly, in his previous life, Daben didn't receive the maximum salary until after his peak.
But in this life, after the contract with the Raptors is over, it will become a free agent in the summer of 2003, and it will definitely be able to sign a super contract worth over 100 million by then.
After signing with Big Ben, Raptors general manager Grewward didn't say anything on the surface, but he still felt a little pain in his heart.
After all, this big contract, if you don't look at it with a penetrating perspective, it is a big contract that can only be obtained by the first-line insider at this time.
However, where can Grewward think that the big contract will be reduced to a child labor contract in two more seasons as the NBA salary cap grows.
On the 20th, in addition to signing with Carter Big Ben, Grewward also officially signed the "old child worker" Dell Curry with a four-year $8.8 million contract.
This contract is similar to the price of the contract signed by Su Feng Curry and the Raptors in the previous life. The only difference is that three years have become four years.
Of course, unlike Su Feng's previous life, he originally chose to come to Curry in Toronto for the tuition of his two sons. In this life, the signing ceremony also swelled...
"We will definitely be able to make the playoffs under the leadership of Su in the new season. We have this strength."
There is a saying that the media and fans feel that the Raptors are simply poisonous.
Because after Su Feng’s rhetoric last year, the players on this team are swelling up one by one.
Wake up, Dell, you are no longer the Super Sixth Man of the Hornets, you are just an old soldier now!
Also in the playoffs?
Why don't you talk about the championship?
Um...
Yeah!
Sure enough, human imagination is limited.
Because they don't even know how crazy the reality is.
……
In Philadelphia, Larry Brown, who was reviewing the 76ers luxury lineup for the new season, was stupid.
Because...
Just after the new season restarted, he got a bad news from Berger Berlin.
Ben Wallace...
The super tool man in his mind...
I went to Toronto with Su Feng. Can you believe it?
"The offer we made was similar to that of the Raptors, but Ben chose the Raptors in the end." After the contract renewal failed, Berlinberg said to Brown with a wry smile.
"Why did he choose the Raptors to give up us?" Brown asked flatly.
"This..."
"Don't worry, I just want to know why he chose the Raptors." Looking at Berger Berlin, Brown patted his shoulder and said.
"Well, then I will tell the truth.
This...
He said: He still likes Coach John Davis better than you. "According to Brown's request, Berlinberg confessed.
Boom!
After hearing this, Brown was completely angry.
John Davis!
John Davis again!
Although the expression still hasn't changed a little, under Brown's glasses, in those eyes that are not shocked, there is more than horrible anger?
In Larry Brown's view, even if the 76ers fail to win a championship next season, the Raptors and Davis must die!
Wait, this time even if it is a 20-point lead and the Raptors surrendered, Brown will never replace any main players!
If you don't nail Davis to the stake of shame, he would rather die by Larry Brown!
And shortly after Berger Berlin told Brown the bad news, Pat Klaus, another of the 76ers' correspondents, looked out the office window, the clear sky of Philadelphia, and fell into deep thought... ...
Perhaps Berger and Brown are right.
But in Pat Klaus's opinion, they all neglected the human touch.
Just like Big Ben chose the Raptors this time, in Klaus's mind, he always felt that the NBA shouldn't only have contracts, statistics, and money.
……
Toronto, according to the schedule, the Raptors will hold a media and fan meeting on January 25.
In these days, apart from the old Curry and Big Ben who had already decided to surrender before, Grewward can be said to be hitting a wall...
As early as six months ago, Grewward, who got the Davis signings list, felt that he had no face to meet Davis.
Because of these requirements Davis made to himself, in Grewward's view, can they be considered requirements?
Either a free agent or a draft, but what did you say you did?
Originally, Su Feng's list to Grewward was a well-known undrafted Brad Miller in the 1998 NBA Draft...
However, it’s a pity that even if Grewward had a good relationship with Miller before, because he played for the U.S. team at the 98 World Championships, Miller, who was concerned, got the Hornets contract on the 20th. Later, he never considered the Toronto Raptors.
As the saying goes, everyone has their own ambitions. The reason why Daben was willing to come to Toronto with Su Feng was because of the love he had with Su Feng in his early years.
The reason why old Curry was willing to come to Toronto a year earlier was because of the snack friendship between Su Feng and the two small Curry.
To put it bluntly, regardless of personal connections and various factors, as long as the Raptors have a bit of strength, Stern will not worry about Su Feng’s personal reputation as a result of the team’s record. Up.
So, other people play brother basketball is a group, but where did he group Su Feng?
Don't believe it.
Stern is now anxious for Su Feng to use his contacts to find a star or two to cling together.
Otherwise, the Raptors are a broken team, the results are too bad, can you let Stern praise Su Feng?
However, failing to fix Miller would not make Grewward feel shameless.
Hmm...The reason Grewward felt that he was so embarrassed to see people was that he didn't even get Alstom this time.
The trajectory of history has once again shifted. Because of the weak guard line of the Bucks, the Bucks issued a basic salary contract to Alstom a year in advance.
No way...
Alstom didn't want to be assigned to the frontier, let alone go to Canada to play in the NBA, so he rejected the Raptors.
And Grewward, who thought that his successive failures of signings would make Davis sad, actually thought too much from the beginning.
Because of the fact...
This Raptors really does not lack Miller and Alston.
Su Feng previously included these two people in the list of signings, only because they are very cost-effective at the moment.
But in fact, as for the current Iron Man of the Raptors, with the new season gaining a lot of weight and playing center, in Su Feng's view, what the Raptors lack is a power forward and a meat shield. Substitute.
As for Miller and Alston did not choose the Raptors, it seemed reasonable to Su Feng.
Because the earth will not only revolve around the Raptors and Su Feng, let alone everyone with the vision of crossing.
……
On the 21st and 22nd, while co-training with the team, Su Feng also paid attention to Grewward’s signing of power forward and Meat Shield as a substitute.
Now, use Davis to control Grewward...
Su Feng has become more and more comfortable.
However, what’s worse than Su Feng’s expectations is that this time all teams have to resolve the lineup relationship within two weeks. Many teams are simply messing up in order to grab people when they are awarded contracts. Bid up.
And this also makes the Raptors, who were not dominant, even less dominant in signings.
The Raptors' salary space is abundant, but this does not mean that the Raptors should be taken advantage of.
Grewward, who is good at budgeting, is not stupid. He knows that the team will have to renew contracts with Su Feng, Nash and others next season, so even if there is enough space, he dare not give players an offer.
And just when Grewward’s signing work stalled...
On the 23rd, in his sleep, Su Feng dreamed of the dream he had once again.
Speaking of, in that dream, he had dreamed of fighting alongside Jordan.
And Jordan also said to himself:
"Now, it's your time, Sue."
It's just that, because he didn't see the relationship between Jordan's jerseys at the time, Su Feng always thought that even if his dream came true, it should refer to the All-Star Game.
But this day...
In a daze, Su Feng felt that he could see Jordan's uniform.
Then Su Feng woke up!
I drop a Westbrook!
There is a saying, in Su Feng's opinion, why must I be obsessed with leveling before winning the championship?
From the perspective of the lineup structure, this Raptors is very young, and it is unrealistic to win the championship next season.
But, what if the joke and this dream I made before became reality?
At the Chicago Heroes Meeting, Su Feng, who noticed Jordan's weight, knew very well that if the 109 kg Joe boss continues to play shooting guard, it may not be as good for the current Raptors.
But in his career, there have been many matchups with Barkley, Joe, who was born with supernatural power...
What if you are walking on the front line with yourself in the new season?
To completely obscure the position, use a set of extremely swaying lineup to fight the opposite.
Big Ben, Jordan, myself, Carter, Nash, McGrady...
One set, a dream lineup with no one before and no one afterwards!
As long as Jordan is willing to accept appropriate changes, in Su Feng's view, this Raptors will completely declare the NBA finale next season.
Although due to the Raptors' salary structure and Jordan's character and other details, Su Feng knows that such a lineup can only last for one year at most.
But...
In one year, I have already earned blood!
While leveling up and winning the championship, by the way, it can also explode the entire league in this shutdown season...
Let this group of NBA super people feel what it means to be the best in the past and present, and the extraordinary talents!
Battlestar, basketball god, phenomenon-level truth emperor melon, half man, half god, sun king, demigod cousin, the **** of heaven...
Be reasonable, that is, the peak period of this group of people is not consistent.
If you can really form such a lineup, and this group of people are still at the peak, then the opposite of the Raptors, Hong Kong, even if you pull out the dream, Su Feng will not be counseled.
"Hiss————!"
On this day, after waking up, Su Feng, who pondered for a while, felt that this matter seemed to be a bit messy.
Because although this lineup also has some of its problems, as long as it is a problem that can be solved, it is not a problem in Su Feng's eyes.
In Su Feng's view, the key issue for the formation of this lineup is how to convince Jordan next, as well as details such as the big boss, jersey number...
In order to solve these problems, Su Feng is very clear that he must expect that Jordan can form a tacit understanding with himself before returning the double business to God.
In short, it is...
Do you think this wave is turning enemies into friends?
No...
Where did Jordan, who was "ejected from the house" by the Bulls with the championship ring, and Su Feng, who was assigned to the frontier by the 76ers, turned their enemies into friends?
This is called the same hatred!
Is that a group?
Heh...
Just now, how can this Raptors team up?
This is called to support the NBA's new team building work together, promote the overall Canadian market, and open up territory for the league.
Well, then it can't be mutual accomplishment, and deepen each other's bond, right?
Hey, the answer is correct.
As long as it works well and Jordan is willing to come to the Raptors for a year, Su Feng can guarantee that Jordan in this life will only be more legendary than his previous life.
As for Su Feng's future?
Wake up, the more legendary Jordan is now, the more legendary he will be when Su Feng surpasses him in the future.
Only legends can surpass legends.
Moreover, I have the experience of defeating Jordan before. Now I will have another experience of fighting alongside Jordan. In the future, even if Su Feng really surpasses Jordan, even if Jordan’s double business is returned to God, Jordan will not beep himself more. .
Because by then, Jordan pulls Su Feng down, which is tantamount to pulling himself down.
And this is the so-called mutual achievement.
Here, look, reality is not.
Because here, do you dare to write such a routine?
The reality is that the ratio is even more crooked.
On the morning of the 23rd ~IndoMTL.com~ After taking out the "Jordan Raiders Rules" recorded in his own notebook, Su Feng specifically found Davis and decided to tell Davis this bold idea.
After communicating with Su Feng, Davis swallowed, "Are you serious, Su?"
Su Feng nodded, "Coach, let's go to Chicago. Although I only have a 10% chance to convince Michael, if Michael is willing to join us..."
After hearing this, Davis hurriedly interrupted Su Feng.
Because like Su Feng, he is very optimistic about Davis of the Raptors, I feel that if I think about it, I can only think of the word championship...
