NBA: Back to 97, to be the Jagged Bishop

After the Suns and the Kings called, Duncan also called.

"Kong, why don't you sell Korver to us?"

"We can give you the first and second round picks for next year. Although the picks are not high, this is already our greatest sincerity."

Naturally, the relationship between Duncan and Kumbu doesn't need to go around in circles, and they just came up and talked about the deal.

Kong Bu smacked his lips, this deal is actually not very good.

The 2004 draft is not considered a big year. Of course there are good players, but they all appear in the top [-] picks. The valuable follow-up picks are Tony Allen, Kevin Martin and Ali. Tie three people.

The picks of these three are not high, and Kumbu can be selected easily. There is no need to trade draft picks for them, so Konbu has little interest in the 2004 draft.

In particular, the Spurs' record is not bad. Their first-round pick may be after the 20th pick, and there is no way for Kumbu to select a first-line star.

Whether it's Tony Allen, Martin or Ariza, their value is actually similar to Korver's.

Even if it is earned, it means earning a second-round pick.

"Tim, this trading plan is for your sake, and I accept it."

"To be honest, I didn't make you Spurs at all in this deal."

Combe said with a smile.

The Spurs have been intercepted by Kumbu these years, and the troika has been intercepted and taken away. As a result, the Spurs, like the Lakers, have also missed the chance to win the championship.

Give them a Korver now, and they can't become a championship-level team because of it.

Players like Korver or Kapono, they can only be thieves on the court, and they are destined not to be the absolute outside core of the team, because they are too easy to be targeted.

Sending a defensive player who is about the same height and fast speed can effectively limit the performance of players like Korver without his defensive strength.

The real outside core should be the role of the four shooting guards who can shoot suddenly and well. Maybe this is why Ray Allen can't be tied with the four shooting guards despite his good data.

"Great, Kong, I knew you'd help me."

Duncan laughed excitedly.

……

In the blink of an eye, the week agreed with Ao Pang is almost here.

During this period of time, Ao Pang still had a backbone and missed four games directly.

The consequence is that he lost about 150 million US dollars, and then the Lakers ushered in a four-game losing streak.

Last season, because the Lakers had Utah Shuangsha, no one paid attention to their bench.

When the Utah Shuangsha left this season, Da Chao knew that the Lakers were swimming. Except for the OK combination, they couldn't find anyone who could play.

Kobe led a bunch of rotten fish and rotten shrimp. It just so happened that the Lakers' opponents were very strong during this period of time. It is normal to lose four games in a row.

The Lakers fans couldn't sit still. If O'Pang was injured and missed the team and caused the team to lose, they could accept it.

But now that Ao Pang is obviously not injured, if he continues to procrastinate like this, will the Lakers not make the playoffs this season?
Either quickly appease O'Pang and let him play for the Lakers honestly, or quickly sell O'Pang in exchange for a suitable bargaining chip. While the season has just started, hurry up and let the Lakers get on the right track. This is Lakers fans collective demands.

West is under a lot of pressure. He really hasn't slept much for a week. As an old man in his seventies, he is tortured.

In the early hours of the morning, he received another quotation from Kongbu. The difference was that this time Kongbu specifically marked the final quotation on the subject of the email.

David West, Kapono, Josh Howard, the Bobcats' own first-round pick and second-round pick, and the first-round pick assisted by the Suns.

Comb also gave the Suns another option. Josh Howard can be changed to the Spurs' first-round pick plus a second-round pick.

This is the highest offer that Combe can offer so far. If West is still not satisfied, then Combe will have no choice but to give up.

After reading the offer, West sighed. He knew it was time for him to make a decision, and he couldn't keep procrastinating like this.

The offer given by Kumbu is actually very exciting. If it is not for Ao Pang, this transaction offer can be traded to any star in the league except Yao Ming.

After David West entered the Bobcats, his performance has not been bad, because he has Bosh and Hill in front of him, he doesn't have many shots, but his performance on the court is really good, and his offensive efficiency is not like that of a rookie. from.

Although the rebounds are not great, it is impossible for a perfect player to be traded. Everyone knows that if David West is given enough shots and playing time, he will definitely be able to hit 20 points and 8 rebounds. The top power forward data.

Kapono is even more amazing. He is currently averaging 25 points per game in the Bobcats, and his three-point shooting percentage has reached a sky-high 46%.

As far as the few games he started, his offensive efficiency ranked first in history. Yes, even Jordan is not as good as him.

It's really that this guy's three-pointers are too good, he shoots a lot, and his shooting percentage is high.

The 46% three-point shooting percentage, converted into two-point shooting percentage, is 69%, which is the efficiency that Ou Pang can only play at the basket.

For such a player, West is of course also excited.

Josh Howard is also great. He has the shadow of Steven Gerrard of the Dynasty 76ers everywhere in his body. Although his body is not as thick as Gerrard's and his defense may be slightly worse, his offense looks better than Gerrard's. The potential is much greater.

After O'Pang left, with the addition of such three players, West felt that the Lakers' combat power might not decline much.

After much deliberation, West decided to call Comb back. If he keeps going on like this, he will die suddenly at his age.

"Kong, I accept your offer. I want the first offer. We are not interested in the Spurs' draft pick."

"In this incident, your behavior is very unkind."

West still has a lot of resentment towards Kumbu. He uses Opang on his side, and Konbu will be angry if he runs out to snatch people.

"Jerry, it's really my fault this time, I apologize to you, I'm sorry."

"Consider that I owe you a favor. If you need my help in the future, you can just say it."

Kumbu also went down the donkey along the slope, and now that O'Pang has got it, there is really no need to yell at West.

"Okay, you owe me a favor."

"It is said that your favor, Kong Bu, is invaluable. I hope I can use it in the future."

West is very satisfied with Combu's attitude, especially the favor promised by Combe. He knows clearly that he will definitely be able to use it in the future.

It is impossible for me to stay with the Lakers for the rest of my life. I will definitely go to other teams sooner or later. If there is a shortage of players, I can ask Comb for help.

With Combe and West's agreement, the deal about O'Pang was officially a success.

In fact, under normal circumstances, O’Pang’s going to the Heat is also a transaction. The bargaining chips given by the Heat are Odom, Caron Butler, Brian Grant plus first-round and second-round picks, which are not as many as what Combe gave.

In the afternoon of the next day, the two teams held a press conference and the officials announced the blockbuster deal.

It's just an official announcement, because of the salary balance principle, the Bobcats will have to consider how to balance Ao Pang's nearly 3000 million salary in order to make this deal officially complete.

Already before the press conference, O'Pang packed his luggage and got on the plane to Charlotte. He couldn't wait to join Combe's team.

Right after the press conference was over, various experts and big figures in the league expressed their views.

"Kong is still too impatient. He took three promising rookies, plus three draft picks. In the hands of Kong Bu, this is equivalent to six future All-Stars."

"In fact, he only needs to wait two years, and the Bobcats will naturally become a strong team at the championship level. There is really no need to trade Shaq, a fat man."

"From what I know of Kong, there's no way he'd do something like that, and it's likely that Michael Jordan forced him into the deal."

"Michael, are you watching my live broadcast? Listen to my advice, don't get in the way of Comb when it comes to lineup building, you're really not that material."

Barkley expressed his views on the deal in his commentary room.

"Opinion? How can I have an opinion?"

"Is my opinion important? I asked the league to investigate Comb's illegal recruitment. Guess how long the league investigation took? An hour!"

"That's right, the league called me an hour later and said that the investigation was completed and there was no illegal recruitment."

"I doubt they even contacted Comb or Shaq."

"It's extremely unfair to a team that's just been created, to get a player like Shaq."

Lao Deng frantically complained to the media.

After the big victory against the Bobcats last time, Lao Deng felt that he had the chance to win the championship.

With Ao Pang joining the Bobcats, Lao Deng feels that there are countless variables in winning the championship.

What worries him even more is, is this the ultimate lineup for the Bobcats this season?You must know that the Bobcats are a new army. They have no salary cap and poverty limit. As long as Combe and Jordan are willing to spend money, they can continue to introduce superstars with super high salaries.

Just as Lao Deng was complaining to the reporter, Combe was discussing the issue of O'Fat's salary balance in Jordan's office.

"Kong, with you, this seemingly absurd transaction can be successful."

"Is there anything in this world that you can't do?"

"To be honest, after my second dynasty was destroyed by you, I was very unconvinced and thought it was your shit luck."

"Looking at it now, it's not wrong for me to lose!"

Jordan sat in front of Konbu, gave a thumbs up, and crazily praised Konbu.

In the eyes of older players like Jordan, super centers like O'Pang and Yao Ming are the guarantee of the championship. Now that O'Pang is in his hands, are the Bobcats still far from the championship?

"Let's talk about how to solve Shaq's salary balance first."

"We definitely can't get players with such a high salary in our Bobcats team. After all, the total salary of our team is not as high as that of Shaq alone."

Kong Bu said with a sad face.

Jordan smiled and shook his head, "That's not easy, just go to the free market to find a player, sign a one-year contract worth 2500 million US dollars, and give it to the Lakers to match."

"As for getting this player, whether the Lakers will talk to him about a buyout or what to do, that has nothing to do with us."

Kumbu couldn't laugh or cry, what Jordan said was indeed a solution, but it was too cheap for the free agent.

The new season has begun, and players who haven't played in the NBA are naturally rotten fish and rotten shrimp.

As a result, this stinky fish and rotten shrimp can actually win an annual salary of 2500 million, which is definitely smoke from the ancestral grave.

"Who should I sign? I must find a player who has played in the NBA, otherwise it will seem too ridiculous."

"Michael, do you have a suitable candidate?"

Kong Bu asked with a frown.

Jordan quickly waved his hand, "I don't have a suitable candidate, you can just find one, there are so many players who can't play, just find one and sign it, and let this guy who got lucky win the lottery."

Kong Bu thought about it, and suddenly thought of an excellent candidate in his head, and the corners of his mouth immediately turned up.

Hu Weidong!
Is there a better candidate than Lao Hu?

He entered the league through the draft. He also played in the NBA for four or five years, and now he has returned to China. He has no contractual relationship with any NBA team.

Give him a one-year contract of 2500 million US dollars, and then send him to the Lakers, no matter what the Lakers do with him, Lao Hu's 2500 million US dollars is guaranteed.

As the saying goes, fat and water don't flow into the field of outsiders, and such a large sum of money Kong Bu didn't want to cheapen those strangers for nothing.

Thinking of this, Kong Bu hurriedly called Lao Hu.

"Director Kong, this joke is too funny, you want to sign me with a contract with an annual salary of 2500 million dollars?"

"The combined annual salaries of Dayao, Dazhi and Daba seem to be less than 3000 million now."

"If this is true, there is only one explanation. You have discovered some kind of superpower in me, for example, it can completely cure cancer."

Hu Weidong didn't believe what Kongbu said at all, and he couldn't believe it. With his current strength in the NBA, he might only get a basic salary, 2500 million?That is the third highest salary in the league, second only to Oban and Garnett.

"Don't believe me? Then I went to find someone else?"

Kong Bu said with a smirk, and then told Lao Hu the reason.

Lao Hu is speechless, can such a good thing really happen in the world?pie?This was definitely a gold pie the size of a wheel hitting him on the head.

He picked up 500 million US dollars in vain. According to the current exchange rate, that is 2 million RMB. Even if Hu Weidong dreamed of winning the lottery, he never dared to dream so much.

"Really? I don't have to do anything?"

"No, after I arrive in Los Angeles, will my kidney be replaced? The owner of the Lakers, Old Buss, who has uremia, wants to change his kidney?"

Hu Weidong still couldn't believe it.

"How can your waist be worth [-] million yuan? You can manage ten thousand chickens a day?"

"Hurry up and pack your luggage and come to Charlotte to sign the contract. No, don't bring your luggage. It's just a matter of a few days. You don't need to bring your luggage."

Kong Bu urged angrily.

Hu Weidong pinched himself, convinced that he was not dreaming, hung up the phone with Kong Bu, and immediately bought a plane ticket.

Sometimes people are lucky and can't stop them. A phone call from Kumbu directly made Hu Weidong the fourth highest salary in a single season in NBA history after Jordan, O'Pang and Garnett! (end of this chapter)
