723 Skill Master! Cake King's Dream of Maximum Salary!
Although they were very sad to see Irving and Ade leave, Cavaliers fans immediately felt that their sadness was relieved a lot when they thought of Kawhi!
They have become the only forwards in the league who can compare with the Thunder!
Although the shock was not as shocking as when Jones and Durant joined the Thunder, social media was also paralyzed for a time!
There are many fans of King James!
Oh, and there are angry Raptors fans, and...
Some dumbfounded Lakers fans!
This damn little card was abducted by Emperor James. Can he still come to our lake next year?
Kawhi is definitely not willing to stay in that bitter cold place in Toronto, but in Cleveland, it seems that James is very attractive to Kawhi!
Although WOJ has always stated that Leonard's attitude has always been to plan to sign with the Lakers next summer, but with the example of Pickled Pepper in the past, they have to worry!
Then, there were reports that the team was very confident in keeping Leonard, and with James here, the team would not care much about Leonard's decision in 2019.
Hu Mi cried and fainted in the toilet!
Except for Leonard, Irving is the one who begs for mercy and gets mercy.
Parker's departure allowed him to go to the Spurs as the absolute starting point guard, and his position as the team's leader seemed to be no problem at all.
The worst person this time is Ade.
He had just said before that he was willing to stay in Cleveland and witness greatness, and the Cavaliers management also said that they would never trade this hard-working All-Star power forward.
However, the slap in the face came too quickly.
On the Internet, fans are discussing it hotly.
"Grizzlies fans: Wow, just after AD said he wanted to be the Cavaliers' best power forward... (he was traded)"
"Cavaliers fans: Hey, he must feel very uncomfortable."
"Grizzlies fans: Damn, I'm really sorry. This is the same feeling I had when I heard that DaGa was going to be traded."
"Actually, Ade has long been the best Cavaliers power forward."
"Cavaliers fans: LaMarcus, thank you for everything you do for us."
"Suns fans: I was excited about this deal at first, but when I realized that AD was no longer a Cavalier, I fell into endless sadness. It turned out that he was the main reason why I supported the Cavaliers in the East."
"Leonard's uncle: Leonard doesn't want to be in the Spurs locker room anymore.
Leonard's uncle: He will only go to Los Angeles to play.
Leonard's uncle: Leonard will not sign a max salary deal.
Popovich: Oh, then help me sell your body again."
"Spurs fans: Hahahaha!
So happy.
Leonard wants to go to Los Angeles, I want to send him to the far east!
It’s still a city like Cleveland that doesn’t give shit!”
"Spurs fans: Guan Jian also exchanged for Irving and Ade!"
"Rockets fans: Damn the Spurs, they can still get Irving and Ade in this situation."
"Pelicans fans: The Spurs are really masters of skills!"
"I've already figured out what the Cavaliers front office said when they tried to retain Leonard.
"Look, Leonard, we know you want to go to Los Angeles, but Cleveland is still a lot like Los Angeles in some ways!
First of all, we can also make movies here, and the film industry has achieved considerable development.
Secondly, our traffic is worse than Los Angeles!
Finally, Cleveland also has a lake, which is no different from the Pacific Ocean next to Los Angeles!
Finally, LeBron James is here!"
"Nets fans: Don't do this!
Ade is Cleveland's inside defender."
"Bulls fans: It's finally over, he became a victim of Irving and Kawhi.
This damn soap opera is finally over."
"Warriors fans: Imagine the Cavaliers front office, they trade probably their most loyal player, the core of the team, for a guy who doesn't want to play under Popovich.
It’s really incredible.”
…
After the soap opera between Kawhi and Irving came to an end, with James confirming his contract extension, this extremely crazy summer is finally coming to an end.
Wait, there is still Capela who is arguing with the team over the contract amount after the Rockets extended Paul's big contract.
Their story can also be described as full of twists and turns.
After renewing the contracts of Paul and Gerald Green, the Rockets' total salary has reached 128 million US dollars, exceeding the luxury line of 123 million US dollars, but they still need to renew Capela's contract.
This is why Capela looked wide-eyed when Paul renewed his contract with the maximum salary.
The Rockets were obviously interested in Capela, but they didn't want to sacrifice too much, so the two sides froze.
Capela was pressured to tell reporters that he was seriously considering accepting a qualifying offer to play for one year and then become an unrestricted free agent next summer.
The Rockets have already sent Capela a qualifying offer this summer. Capela is a restricted free agent this summer. The Rockets can choose to match any offer made to him by other teams.
If Capela does not sign with another team, he will play with the Rockets for one year next season with a qualifying offer, and then become a completely free agent next summer.
One year's low salary to buy the right to use it, or a high salary to renew the contract for a long time? This is a question.
Then according to a Rockets reporter, a source revealed that Capela felt that his value was underestimated in the first round of negotiations with the Rockets.
It is reported that Capela wanted to seek a contract higher than four years and US$80 million (refer to LaVine), but the Rockets only offered a contract of about four years and US$48 million (refer to Nurkic).
Previously, LaVine agreed to the Kings' four-year, $80 million signing offer, and the Mavericks chose to match it.
Nuggets center Nurkic renewed his contract with the team for 48 million in four years.
LaVine's statistics last season were 18.7 points, 3.2 rebounds and 5.4 assists, while Nurkic's statistics were 14.5 points and 9.6 rebounds.
Capela's statistics last season were 12.5 points and 10.9 rebounds.
Even if you say his data is high, it’s high. Considering that the contracts of LaVine and Nurkic are both reasonable, I’m stuck!
Then more details emerged, and the Rockets' offer was 55 million over four years.
This obviously cannot satisfy Capela's big appetite.
But immediately Capela himself was embarrassed because his market was stagnant in the free market. As the Rockets expressed their willingness to match Capela's any offer, other teams backed down.
It’s pointless to underpay, but wouldn’t it be embarrassing if the Rockets don’t match up if they really pay off?
In their view, Capela's abilities are also very limited.
The ability to get this data is entirely thanks to Harden and Paul!
High-paying, long-term contract teasing the Rockets?
They are not so boring!
Then, it was said that the Rockets’ offer increased to $70 million over four years, but the cake king still chose to refuse!
This time, he revealed his psychological price.
He wants to seek a 4-year, 100 million maximum salary contract like "Aquaman" Adams!
Now, the Rockets are in trouble, and the fans are amused!
Chapter completed!
