The first plug-in in basketball

Chapter 674 Fighting openly and secretly, a true alliance! (Second update!)

After the failure of last season, Jim Buss, who officially took over the Lakers, did not want to keep Howard.

"Happy Beast" was very angry.

Because he has been sitting at home waiting for the Lakers' big contract, he found that the Lakers don't want to renew his contract at all!
In a trance, Howard felt a little sympathy for O'Neill back then.

In an interview, Howard also expressed his dissatisfaction with the Lakers.

However, Howard made a fuss, he didn't want to fall out with the Lakers.

Because in Howard's view, he just bought a few samurai swords and waited for the Lakers to coax him.

However.
The ideal of "Happy Beast" is good, but there is a certain gap in reality.

Although Lakers general manager Kupchak has always said that they are very confident about renewing Howard, in fact, Kupchak didn't even read the request made by Howard's agent carefully.

The fact that Kobe was not injured had a huge impact on the Lakers.

In Lin Yi's previous life, because of Kobe's injury, Bass got a two-year buffer time, but now Kobe's spirit is good. He is waiting to break Havlicek's record.

Therefore, from the moment Jim Buss took charge of the Lakers, he began his "three-year contract" with his old sister.

As the number one Komi in this league, Bass, who shouted "30 years in Hedong and 30 years in Hexi", might give up Kobe?

Of course not.

Since it's impossible, I'm sorry, how about you find a job elsewhere?

The Lakers intend to completely free up the salary space, because only in this way, in the summer of 14, they can have a chance to turn around.

After all, it is impossible for a team like the Lakers to foolishly wait for rookies and then rebuild slowly.

Therefore, in order to give full play to the Lakers' attraction to stars, the Lakers themselves must first have room to operate.

Morey, the general manager of the Rockets, just flew to Los Angeles immediately after smelling the tricks between the Lakers and Howard.

However, shortly after Morey arrived in Los Angeles, the shrewd general manager discovered, how come the Mavericks general manager Nelson Jr. also came to Los Angeles?
Could it be that he came to rob Howard from me?
Last season, after Harden played a cornerstone performance, Morey planned to build a team around Harden in the future. Because of the influence of the OK combination and the fried chicken combination, people in this period generally believed that the best combination was a big and a small.

Morey believes that Howard can assist Harden very well, and the combination of the two will definitely lead the Rockets to go further in the West.

"No, Donnie can't get ahead of me!"

Morey decided to start negotiating with Howard as soon as possible.

Anyway, Morey is very good at using the rules, and it will be fine to add some rules to the contract to restrict it.

The general manager of the Mavericks, Nelson Jr., arrived in Los Angeles and found that Morey was staying in the same hotel with him, and Nelson Jr. also became vigilant!
What the hell, the Rockets are here to grab Jordan from us, right?

Last season, after being sniped by the Spurs again, Mavericks coach Carlisle believed that Stoudemire was fine on the offensive end, but the Mavericks needed an inside player who could protect the penalty area.

Carlisle took a fancy to Jordan of the Clippers, so Carlisle suggested to the Mavericks uniform team that the Mavericks could try to trade Jordan with Stoudemire.

In this life, Stoudemire did not suffer a serious injury, and his state declined. However, when the Clippers learned that the Mavericks were willing to send Stoudemire, the Clippers' uniform team believed that the combination of Griffin and Stoudemire would definitely be beautiful!

With two violent dunks in the frontcourt, the box office can't be full?
After the summer window opened, the Clippers have completed a contract extension with Bledsoe.

The retirement of Billups also freed up some salary space for the Clippers. The Clippers felt that Stoudemire and Jordan could be swapped, so they invited Mavericks general manager Donnie Nelson to Los Angeles to discuss the details of the transaction.

After all, Stoudemire's contract still has injury protection regulations. If Stoudemire fails in the future, the Clippers can release salary space by laying off Stoudemire.

All in all. This is also the chain reaction that Kobe was not injured.

Because Kobe was not injured, the Clippers couldn't take away the Lakers' attention.

You know, in Lin Yi's previous life, the Clippers were able to steal the attention of the Lakers during this period. In addition to the sky-high broadcast contract between the Lakers and the Warner era, which caused Los Angeles fans to spend more money to watch the Lakers' games, a very important point is that Kobe's injury caused the Lakers to enter a period of n years.

No way, who made Buss really love Kobe?
The year when Kobe retired in the future is an example. He started the chatting tour and abruptly grabbed the attention of the Lakers back.

To put it bluntly, the NBA is a business league.

In the business league, the appeal of stars is incalculable. For example, if the Knicks did not have Lin Yi, would they still be able to guarantee the box office?

Uh!
It seems that even without Lin Yi, the Knicks box office is still full.
Well, it doesn't matter!
The important thing is that the Clippers are much weaker than Lin Yi remembered!
Therefore, this has caused the Clippers to want the box office more now.

Because Stoudemire is also an All-Star insider, the Clippers are optimistic about his combination with Griffin.

However, the Clippers feel that if the Mavericks want Jordan, at least they have to pay for draft picks. After all, Jordan's contract is a bit smaller than Stoudemire's.

The Clippers are not interested in the Mavericks' old guys, and the Irving Mavericks who are most interested in it are impossible to trade, so the Clippers hope that the Mavericks can pay some draft picks in this transaction.

So the "infighting" between Morey and Nelson Jr. began.

Both GMs know the other team needs a rim protector, and see each other as competitors.

Howard, who was idle at home, was dumbfounded.

Listening to the promise made to him by the Rockets, Howard drifted away.
"Hehe, let me just say, I'm a player who can replace LeBron alone. The Lakers think that if they don't renew my contract, I won't be able to go elsewhere?" Howard, who was held in the palm of Morey's hand, was very happy.

Houston, seems like a good place to go?
The boss of that team is Harden, this kind of young man is very suitable to assist me!

Howard, who has been snubbed by the Lakers these days, knows very well that the Lakers will inevitably choose the latter between him and Kobe.

"Hmph, the Lakers hugged Kobe and thought Kobe was a treasure trove, but they didn't know that they gave up my bigger treasure trove." Howard thought angrily.

When the negotiations with Howard came to an end, Morey was also a little proud.

Because he thought he was ahead of Nelson Jr.

On the other side, the negotiations between the Clippers and the Mavericks have also come to an end.

The Clippers uniform team, which has always been at a disadvantage in transactions, found that in this negotiation, no matter what they asked, the Mavericks would agree quickly, as if they were afraid that the transaction would fail.

The Clippers uniform team was very satisfied with the Mavericks' offer, so the team notified Jordan and asked him to report to Dallas for the new season.

And this made little Jordan worry.

what?
Dallas?
I dont go!
I have already promised Blake that I will wander the world with him. As a person who keeps his promise, how can I break my promise?
The general manager of the Clippers, Orsi, called and told Jordan helplessly, "DeAndre, Dallas promised that after your contract expires, they will give you a full maximum salary."

Jordan's response was also straightforward.

"Okay, I'll pack my luggage right away." Are you kidding, let that idiot hug Jenna to hell!

My little Jordan is going to Dallas to make a lot of money!
What kind of loyalty?
That's all because the money wasn't in place.

This alliance is so real.
