192. The time has come!(1/2)
Orlando Media's performance begins!
Regarding this, Zhang Hao was speechless except for being speechless.
What he cares more about now is another thing that the Suns used two talented young players, Van Exel and Finley, to exchange for Kidd!
The deal itself is not important. After the season, the news about the Mavericks was only left with 3J and Donnie Blyston's gossip news, which made Donnie Blyston make a fortune.
After the Mavericks legendary coach Dick Mota announced his resignation, it will be a matter of time before the Mavericks split the 3J in order to calm the anger of Dallas fans.
What Zhang Hao cares about is the reward after completing this transaction...
The Mavericks said in a press conference after completing the deal: "We need a genius like Aix, Michael is such a genius, he is Jordan's successor..."
Zhang Hao felt that the Mavericks did it on purpose, so Kidd must hate him even more?
It doesn't matter...
“3J’s incompetence rage:
Target: Signing player Zhang Hao needs to play the Dallas 3J combination that should have fallen apart until it is disbanded. (Completed)
Congratulations to the host for receiving the reward: Dallas 3J players have the strongest season of the 3J era. "
Zhang Hao did nothing and got the reward!
Anyway, if you are happy, you will be done. If you want to become a public enemy these days, you will become a public enemy.
They got Charles Barkley, who had an annual salary of only $4.7 million! The most amazing thing is that the Lakers got a superstar like Barkley, but their current salary has been reduced, Van Exel's salary of $1.9 million, Donyere Marshall's salary of $2 million, Anthony Pierre's salary of $1.33 million, and the Lakers' total salary has dropped instead of rising...
After attending the press conference for Barkley's franchise, Zhang Hao, Magician, Doug Christie, and George Lynch went to Van Exel's home.
I wanted to comfort Van Exel, but Van Exel had already accepted such a thing. Even a month ago, when Barkley informed the Suns to trade him to the Lakers, Van Exel had already guessed such a result.
With Van Exel leaving, the Lakers' talent that the logo man had accumulated bit by bit since the 1992 draft has basically used up!
Van Exel, Anthony Pierre, Eddie Jones, Cebaros, Divac, Donyere Marshall... These people eventually became Zhang Hao and Barkley!
...
Before Dallas 3J began to show its talent, it was broken up. Barkley rushed to Los Angeles and stole a lot of the limelight, but the draft that night still became the hottest thing.
The draft was calm... for Zhang Hao.
His arrival has changed a lot, for example, the draft picks of each team have changed a little, but in the 1995-96 season, the playoff teams are still those playoff teams, and the lottery teams are still those lottery teams.
With the talented people gathering in this year's draft, each team has clear goals and so many people can choose, the results of the draft seem to be no different from those in Zhang Hao's impression.
The 76ers took away the legendary 183 man Allen Iverson. After spending half of his life hard, Iverson's mother finally raised her head and shouted in front of the camera: "My son is a millionaire!"
The logo man has a unique talent in drafting. He selected Derek Fisher of the University of Arkansas Little Rock in the middle and late second round in the first round.
Zhang Hao has specifically paid attention to this legendary college defensive champion who is a non-NCAA first-level league school, who is averaging 12 points and 4.4 rebounds in four years of college...
A rookie who predicts the lowest second round tail, that is, no matter whether their Lakers' draft pick is the 24th pick in the original time and space or the current 29th pick, anyway, the logo man has designated him.
"Fortunately, I'm only 19 years old, and I have reason not to let him enter my house..."
This is not important. What is important is that Henry Thomas's agency grabbed three rookies, namely Sharif Raheem and Jermaine O'Neal, Eric Danpier, and...
Two days after the draft, on June 30, Pelinka came to the crew to find Zhang Hao who was resting during the filming interval: "Aix, I helped Wallace find the team in the summer league, and he will represent the teams of the Bullets to participate in the game... Are you sure he has talent? He is just a player in the second division." Pelinka was confused.
Previously, he relied on Zhang Hao and Jermaine O'Neal, and Raheem recognized this condition and signed him. Henry Thomas relied on David Falcao to sign All-American first-team center Eric Danpeir. All three were successfully selected by NBA teams, and they were all in high rankings. Jermaine O'Neal's picks were as high as 16 and were selected by the Trail Blazers.
But Zhang Hao had no attention to these people at all, so he focused on the short center that no agent wanted when he signed at the end of April.
"He is great and hardworking. There will definitely be NBA teams who will take a fancy to him and sign him. At the beginning, he may not have the chance or strength, but it will be fine if he waits for a few years."
Because Zhang Hao's performance is like a chosen son, even when he goes to film, the boss of the production company who has run a production company for decades exaggerates Hao's talent, Pelinka does not question Zhang Hao's vision of the player's potential. Like Rodman, he has no chance in his career for the first two years and later played well. There are many examples in NBA history.
But he still complained: "We can clearly focus more time and energy on players with bright futures and more opportunities."
"Jermaine is also very miserable when he goes to the Trail Blazers, and there are many inside players there, and he may not even be able to play as a substitute."
"Yeah, the only thing I'm worried about is Jermaine. I thought the Warriors would choose him. Who knew they actually chose Todd Fleur. Are they blind?"
"We just need to be patient. Jermaine is only 17 years old and is less than 18 years old at the beginning of the new season. He just needs to use the money to learn experience. Bob, it's not that they are blind, it's that you have a good vision."
Pelinka loves to hear these words!
Zhang Hao always seized the opportunity to encourage his colleagues at the necessary moments, and Pelinka immediately went to work with great enthusiasm.
After changing his career to become an agent, Pelinka felt that this was what he wanted!
Seeing Pelinka coming and going without taking away a cloud, Zhang Hao couldn't help but sigh: "Excellent lawyer, excellent negotiation skills, and positive work attitude... he is such a reliable worker!"
When you continue filming and do something, Zhang Hao will be very serious. People have all hobbies. His hobbies are to watch special films. He will become the protagonist of special films, and of course he will work very hard.
The afternoon shooting ended and lunch time entered.
The crew was very considerate and specially found a Hunan chef who made authentic Hunan cuisine. Zhang Hao had a great time eating.
During the meal, the crew members took a bunch of newspapers to Zhang Hao's lounge as usual. Zhang Hao flipped through the newspapers while having dinner...
"Come! I'm going... Is there such a thing really? The media's constant brainwashing can really fool people! Are there really such a weird person in Orlando?"
According to the referendum released by Orlando's Sentinel, 91% of Orlando people believe that O'Neal is not worth 100 million!

...
On July 1, the NBA free market opened.
On the eve of the opening of the free market, it took 6 pm on June 30, and finally, due to the strong demands of many bosses, the NBA officially announced two terms, one is to change the rules for early renewal. When a player's contract is at least 3 years, he can renew his contract with the team in advance in the second year of the contract.
This is not important, what matters is another clause, one-time clause, unlimited contract terms.
Unlimited contract terms: After the free market opened in the summer of 1996, the first contract signed by each team can be used. This contract ignores the salary cap, ignores the right to birds, ignores the salary terms, and can pay any salary.
After announcing this clause last night, the entire basketball industry was blown up!
CNK again revealed that its boss's black news, the Knicks boss tempted all teams to increase the number of live broadcasts. After paying a lot of broadcast fees, he finally promoted the birth of this clause.
It seems that the Knicks boss has spent a lot of money, but in fact, the broadcast fee is divided according to the live broadcast income, which means that it is not profitable to broadcast non-popular games, but not many people realize this.
The media, experts, and fans are all clamoring for James Dolan's sexy operations.
Because after the free market opened on July 1, the Knicks directly provided a sky-high contract of US$30 million a year for the newly promoted two-time double MVP superstar Michael Jordan.
You know, in the just-concluded season, the total salary of the championship team Bulls is only $23.2 million.
Everyone thinks that the league is going to be in great trouble this time, and the entire league structure may be collapsed by James Dolan's money offensive.
However, when the free market opened, except for the Knicks who gave an exaggerated big contract, the entire free market was silent and there was no signing a small deal...
...
In a flash, on July 3, it was very strange. Since the NBA free market became more open and moved away, this was the first time that no signing occurred on the first two signing days.
"Aix, should we fight for a large-scale contract renewal?" Pelinka was ready to move.
Before Zhang Hao could answer, Henry Thomas shook his head and said, "It doesn't work. No team will agree to give other people a contract like Jordan. No team will agree. They just play with Dolan."
"Why?" Pelinka was puzzled.
"Jordan got 30 million, and other superstars wanted 25 million. How to give it? Only the Knicks can make so much money and keep superstars at a loss? It's better not to... Oh, the Lakers can make so much money, but the Lakers won't give it either. They would rather give Aix a bigger contract in the future, and would rather give it a salary under the salary cap rules."
Zhang Hao added: "The Bulls will give it, and they will earn more."
After the finals, Forbes announced the NBA team revenue and profit rankings, and the three lists, all of which were first in the Knicks, second in the Lakers, and third in the Bulls.
Among them, the Bulls made a profit of US$55.39 million.
"Aix, do you think the Bulls will match this contract?"
"Of course, without Jordan, they can't make money without them, they will definitely keep Jordan. And the 55 million is just the income of their team. I heard that their boss has more than 20 bars in Chicago, and they all make money by the popularity brought by Jordan... But this has nothing to do with us. Henry, didn't you say that other teams won't take advantage of this clause? Then let's just look at the fun of the Bulls."
Another ending topic that hit the nail on the head is, Henry Thomas and Pelinka feel that chatting with Zhang Hao is boring... However, it is still very interesting to watch the Bulls' fun.
Henry Thomas analyzed that no team would use this clause, just to get Dolan promised to increase the live broadcast of the game of each team, and he just took a lot of money from the Knicks every season. After the two-day signing window period, many media and experts also analyzed this.
Those people were like the three of them, watching the Bulls' lively fun.
Finally, on the evening of July 3, a team broke the deadlock...
Mourning renewed his contract with the Heat for 7 years and $105 million. Immediately afterwards, Zhu Wan Howard renewed his contract with the Washington Bullets, and his salary was also $105 million for 7 years and $105 million.
Both agents are Bill Duffy, and Mooning renews such a contract. With bird rights, he does not use the unlimited renewal clause. Zhu Wan Howard used it, only two years old, but he does not have the bird rights. He uses the unlimited renewal clause and completes the super hat renewal.
...
Time is passing quickly.
On July 3, Zhang Hao took a day off and had no training. It happened that the crew was also having a day off and was filming empty mirrors.
On the morning of July 4, Jason Williams returned and he and the Lakers reached a two-year oral contract renewal of $4.5 million.
After planting for more than a month, I finally helped my family finish the work on the farm.
As soon as he returned to Los Angeles, Jason Williams came directly to the indoor arena rented by Zhang Hao. When he saw Zhang Hao, Jason Williams began to complain: "Aix, it is obviously a farm I bought for money, why do I have to go back to farm every year?"
"If you don't buy this farm, won't your parents not need to farm? You're so tired, of course you buy it yourself."
