0953 Chapter Come and turn enemies into friends with me!
Last summer, after the disbandment of the "Miami Brothers", Wade chose to stay with the Heat.
At that time, because the Heat needed to operate in the transfer market, Riley begged Wade to cut his salary again.
Wade, who had been in and out for the Heat in the finals, happily agreed to Riley.
Because in Wade's view, although the ending of the "Miami Brothers" is tragic, as the captain of this ship that is about to sink, he cannot abandon the ship.
It's just a pity that Riley has been busy all year and has not brought hope of rebirth to the Heat.
Although the Heat successfully entered the playoffs with Wade's explosive appearance in the final stage of the regular season, Wade was no longer the Wade of that year. At the age of 33, he no longer had that agile footstep, nor the incomparable first step.
But even so, Wade never gave up.
Because in his opinion, the best is always there. If it hasn't reached the best yet, it must have not reached the end.
However, Riley didn't want to wait with Wade until the end.
Last summer, the Heat signed a "1+1" contract with Wade. This summer, Wade intends to break out of the contract and sign a long-term contract with the Heat.
As a veteran, Wade's request is not too much. Note that what he wants is not a maximum salary or a contract worth more than 20 million yuan. What he wants is only a long-term contract starting from 15 million yuan.
A decent contract that will allow him to live his life at the Heat.
If I can't accompany this team to reach the top, at least let me accompany him to the end of the world.
It's a pity
Riley, who is very careful, does not intend to give Wade a contract like this.
Because Riley has a crush on Dragic of the Suns.
Last season, after being traded to the Suns, Dragic's performance even surpassed Kemba Walker for a while.
However, because Walker is younger and he has chosen Devin Booker this year, the Suns are preparing to trade Dragic in exchange for some draft picks.
So Riley planned to give up Wade.
Because in Riley's view, Wade, who will be 34 years old, is just a tool person who has been messed up.
Renewing the contract with Wade will lock the Heat's salary space, so Riley has never even seen Wade before after the summer transfer market opened.
Choose to leave by yourself, Dwyane.
I won't give you that long-term appointment.
Of course, if you can accept the middle-class contract I have issued you, you will still have some value to me.
Wade couldn't believe what he saw.
Because he couldn't believe that the team he had always been loyal to would be so cruel in the face of interests.
...
"Give up, Dwyane, I know what kind of person the boss is. He doesn't even answer my phone now." Wade's long-term economic man, Henry Thomas, looked at Wade with a helpless look on his face.
"Henry, do you think this is God's punishment for me?" Wade said with a frustration.
"Don't think so much, Dwyane, I believe you, and I believe there will be other teams giving quotes." Henry Thomas's words were already very straightforward
Give up the Heat, Dwyane.
This is not home.
"But, where else can I go?" Wade said with a depressed look on his face.
Next, welcome to the NBA large-scale program "Where Will Wade Go".
...
In New York, Lin Yi, who was preparing for the wedding, learned from Javier that Wade's agent was contacting the next home outside the Heat, was so excited that he drove directly to the Knicks' general manager's office.
Olson's sisters complained about this because in their opinion, Lin Yi didn't take the wedding seriously.
"You don't understand that basketball is his life. Since that's the case, as his wife, I have to support him." Olson was not only not angry at all, but also a little happy.
Because look, her man is so ambitious.
Well, thanks to Omei, for she sacrificed herself and saved a single dog.
"Javille, after Tyson left the team, how much does our salary space still have?" Lin Yi looked at Javier seriously and said in the Knicks' general manager's office.
"At present, our several big contracts mainly revolve around you, Clay and Chris, and you three occupy nearly 80% of our team's salary space. However, according to the official NBA news, next season, the league's salary cap will be $70 million, an increase of 11% over last year. In addition, the luxury tax threshold has also reached $84.7 million, so if we want to sign Dwyane, we can give him a contract of about 10 million a year." Javier replied.
After listening to Javier's report, Lin Yi shook his head helplessly, "Not enough. If you want to express sincerity, you know, $10 million is not enough for a player like Dwyane."
"If Markieff and Wien leave the team in the summer, we can still free up about $5 million." Javier was a little confused about why Lin Yi was so concerned about Wade's matter.
After all, in Javier's opinion, the Knicks' personnel reserves are completely sufficient, and the Knicks' current salary space is very benign, which will be very easy if the team wants to operate in the future.
Lin Yi saw the doubts in Javier's heart and said to him: "Javille, you have also seen the game we played against the Warriors in the regular season this year. To be honest, even I don't have the confidence to beat them 100%.
"Of course Dwyane is no longer at the peak, but he is different from Vince and Paul. In this year's playoffs, he still averages nearly 25 points per game. I have confidence in the Knicks' team doctor. We don't need Dwyane to play like he did when he was in the Heat. However, in some key games, as long as he can explode, it means we have an extra super scorer." After this year's playoffs, Lin Yi discovered that in addition to Paul and himself, the Knicks really have to prepare a assaulter who can open up the second battlefield.
From all aspects, Wade is definitely the best candidate.
Because in Lin Yi's previous life, Wade averaged 18.3 points per game after going to the Bulls in the 16/17 season.
Don't underestimate these veterans too much.
Especially Wade, who has been brothers with James.
If Wade is not strong enough, how could he be brothers with my emperor for so many years?
Lin Yi is not worried that the Knicks are too strong. The only thing he is worried about is that the Knicks are not strong enough.
Take a look at the Warriors' perverted lineup, Jordan Jr., Ka, Middleton, Curry, and the first guy on the bench, Bogut, Barnes
Fucking a man!
Really think Lin Yi has never seen the future NBA, so he doesn’t take Xiaoka and Middleton seriously?
To put it bluntly, even if Lin Yi likes to challenge the difficulty of hell, if he can easily win the championship, why do you have to bury your head against the wall?
Therefore, in Lin Yi's view, once Wade leaves the team, the Knicks must try their best to strive for it.
"I understand what you mean, Lin, but you also know that Dwyane has always had a good personal relationship with LeBron. Do you think he will join us as our former rival?"
"And according to the information I received, the Lakers seem to be very interested in Dwyane," Javier reminded Lin Yi.
Hearing Javier's reminder, Lin Yi smiled slightly, "Don't worry, Dwyane won't go to Los Angeles."
Javier was a little puzzled, but soon he reacted.
Of course Wade won't go to Los Angeles.
Because the Lakers have Kobe.
Will the arrogant Wade be the substitute for 37-year-old Kobe?
Of course not.
Then come on stage together?
Don't worry, just the Lakers' ability to allocate the ball. These three people in the same team, basketball will cry.
Moreover, after the Lakers did not negotiate with their sister-in-law in order to win the boxing champion, the sister-in-law had already planned to leave the team. At this time, the Lakers first consider the inside signing, not the outside.
James is a rational person. No matter how good his relationship with Wade is, he will not make any mistakes in how to make a decision when facing a Wade who is on the downhill road and the Lakers' championship.
"We are different from the Lakers, Javier."
"Paul this year is still "your uncle", and he will be a mascot next year."
"We need a assaulter, and although this assaulter will occupy our salary space next season, we will never be able to keep him for a long time. Javier, you say, a 'working emperor' like Dwyane, why don't you come to the Knicks to win a championship before going to retire?" Lin Yi said to Javier.
"I understand, I will find a way to make up for the salary space so that we can offer Dwyane a 15 million-year contract." Javier nodded and replied.
After discussing with Javier, Lin Yi also fell into deep thought.
Because he was very curious, what expression would Wade look like when he received the Knicks' offer?
Come on, turn enemies into friends with me, Sao Wei!
Let's go and beat LeBron together!
Since he is the little emperor, he will naturally be left alone!
