667 NBA's Free Agent Market
"Mr. Lawrence, what do you say about the Heat?"
In a dilapidated apartment building in Detroit, Reddick looks anxiously at his agent, Greg Lawrence, with a drunken look.
And Greg Lawrence was frowning at this time.
Redick asked him what the Heat thought at this time, how could he possibly know?
As an agent under the Wesselman Company, he does have energy on the Heat's side, but he doesn't look at the current popularity of the Heat.
Didn't you see that even Marbury joined with a base salary?
According to his news, it is not only Marbury who wants to join the Heat with a base salary, but a group of veteran strongmen who want to join the Heat.
Which green onion are you, JJ Reddick?
You can't have consistent playing time on a team like the Pistons, and you still want to go to the Heat, and you want to get a fully guaranteed contract with a base salary, why should you?
Is it just your wife's figure?
This one is fine, but except for me......
"Mr. Lawrence, do JJ and I really need to leave the NBA and leave the United States?"
Looking at the sad look on the face of the woman beside Reddick, Lawrence sighed softly.
He really wanted to help, but it was really hard.
Redick doesn't even want the Pistons, and the Heat, no matter how short of players, won't want a waste.
"Mr. Lawrence, JJ and I can run around, but the baby in our belly ......"
"Belly, baby in the belly?!"
Greg Lawrence, who was still hesitating, was shocked in an instant.
"Mr. Lawrence, I was really decadent before, and now I really want to work hard, for the sake of the kids, and I really want to go to the Heat!"
Greg Lawrence, recovering from the shock, looked up at the dilapidated apartment building, the somewhat dim, green-glowing room, and finally gritted his teeth and nodded.
For the sake of the children......
"I see, I'll do my best, but you're ...... I don't want to smell alcohol on you the next time I see you. ”
He had been working with Reddick since he was in college.
Redick is in the NCAA, that is the first person in the entire NCAA, the pride of the sky, otherwise how could he marry such an 'excellent' wife based on his performance in the NBA!
It's just that, in the end, I really didn't expect Yes to come out, and the speed of Reddick's fall was simply beyond his imagination.
And this guy is really a waste of wood, an NBA player lives in such a broken apartment, this is still Detroit, not the Bay Area, how wasted should this person be!
But......
Greg Lawrence took one of the last nostalgic glances at the woman next to Redick and the woman's belly, and then called him again in the heat relationship.
After a few moments, Greg Lawrence hung up.
"JJ, we're going to Miami next year."
"Really?!"
"It's not a signing, it's a tryout, though, and you don't have the prestige to sign the Heat right away with valuable spots and salary space."
Despite some disappointment, Reddick nodded in the end.
He is not stupid, of course he knows that it is impossible to be directly accepted by the Heat.
After his two-year contract expired, the Pistons made it clear that they didn't want him anymore.
June 30, 2008, in the Miami Heat's training gym.
J.J. Reddick has been here for two days now.
Here, Redick saw quite a few tryouts like him.
There are some excellent draft picks who were invited by the Heat, and there are also some players who, like him, are about to lose their jobs in the NBA.
Others are veterans who are not afraid of losing their jobs in the NBA and are prestigious, but not enough for the Heat to immediately send out contracts for championships.
Among these prestigious veterans, the biggest name or the most famous player is of course the former Hawks player, point guard Tyronn Lue.
As one of the NBA's most iconic images, Tyronn Lue has been a role player throughout his career, but his fame is more than just a role player.
Looking at Tyronn Lue, who was training seriously there, Redick pursed his lips disdainfully.
Before coming to Miami, Redick really had a lot of self-confidence to enter the Heat.
But after coming to the Heat, he realized that he was wrong, and he was very, very wrong.
The Miami Heat's current contract is simply too sought-after.
After Stephen Marbury announced his base salary, in the past two days, the Heat have signed former Suns players Grant Hill and James Jones and former Raptors player Jose Calderon one after another.
James Jones didn't say anything about it, and he didn't know whose back door he was walking through.
But the signing of Grant Hill and Jose Calderón is still quite impressive.
After the Raptors had Hinrich, they had no interest in Calderon, a restricted free agent whose rookie contract expired, and he could go wherever he wanted, but Calderon is not a player who is not well-known in the league, and many teams are willing to give him a small middle class with an annual salary of 5 million.
But in the end, he chose to join the Heat for 3 years and 9 million dollars.
Grant Hill is the same, last season's playoffs were blown up by Durant, but his strength can't play the starter, on the bench, it is definitely a big killer, last season in the Suns, he can also contribute more than 10 points per game, the shooting rate is also as high as more than 50%, and the physical condition and competitive condition are very good.
It is not difficult for such Grant Hill to find a contract with an annual salary of 5 million outside, but he also chose to join the Heat for 5 million in 2 years.
There's also the news that has been circulating now that former Pacers star player O'Neal Jr. is in contact with the Heat.
O'Neal Jr. jumped out of the Pacers' contract in advance, because he didn't want to waste time with the Pacers, and would rather give up the last year of the Pacers' 20 million contract to come out and win the championship, which is very shocking.
That's 20 million!
The Heat will definitely not be able to give O'Neal Jr. a contract of 20 million, and the US dollars that O'Neal Jr. will lose will be at least 10 million!
In other words, O'Neill Jr. can buy it for tens of millions of dollars for a championship!
In other words, as long as he can stand out from the tryout and become a Heat player, he will make 10 million!
Thinking about it, Redick, who was originally depressed, seemed to be full of vitality again.
The two-year red wine career has long destroyed his strength and talent, and at the same time, his will is almost exhausted, and the will consumed by alcohol is always so retreating, if you don't look for a little stimulation mentally, it is very easy to collapse.
If it weren't for the temptation to pick up the $10 million and beat Yes, he would have fled in fear when he saw the fierce competition at the Heat's training ground.
And now......
There are 10 million on the ground ahead, and the end of the road ahead is the spear that defeated Yes!
If you don't rush forward, are you still human?
"Shit Yes!"
"Shit Yes!"
"Shit Yes!"
Redick's madman-like shooting and muttering like a fool made him as popular at the Miami Heat as Tyronn Lue.
When James came to the Miami Heat, he was really busy because everything had to start over.
The selection of the team, the internal relationship of the team, and even the fact that he himself needs to deal with the moving of his family, it can be said that he is busy these days.
But no matter how busy he is, James knows exactly what his purpose for coming to the Heat is.
Champion!
Now that he has become the object of hatred of the whole world, he is completely freed from his previous incomprehension and confusion.
He doesn't need the respect of others, he doesn't need the affection of others.
He just needs someone else to respect the champion!
He'll use the championship to win it all back!
Unless the whole world doesn't even respect the champion.
Then it doesn't matter if he's hated or hated.
Champions have to be hated, so what's the point of yes and Jordan champions?
When the time comes, he will be destroyed along with Yes and Jordan!
It's like the whole world says that Rondo has smashed the sacred data of the triple-double into the mortal world and the mud.
And he, either get the championship and go to heaven, or drag Yes and Jordan to hell with these great champions!
When I get one, two, three, no, even four, five, six, seven championships, look how you still hate me!
Champion!
That's the only thing James is looking for right now, and he knows exactly what he needs to win a championship.
With him, Wade, Ben Gordon and Bosh as well as Chandler, Marbury, Grant Hill and the upcoming O'Neal Jr., the Heat are the best in the league.
No kidding, the Heat's current hard power is the first in the entire NBA history!
No team is stronger than the current Heat, as many American media said when evaluating Grant Hill and Calderon joining the Heat, Grandma O'Neal can win the championship when she becomes the head coach of the Heat.
Of course, now the Heat head coach Spoelstra is definitely much better than Grandma O'Neal.
James never won a championship in reality.
But he had already won this honor countless times in his dreams.
He knows very well that if you want to win the championship, strength is the most important, but in addition to strength, there is also spirit!
He's with the best team in history, and that's right.
But don't forget, Yes won the championship with the weakest team in history!
By what means?
It's spirit!
Even if the Heat don't have the spirit of sacrificing each other like supersonics, they still need to have the courage to go forward and kill their opponents!
He needs to find a player like that.
Although the current trial at the Heat training ground is some waste, what he is looking for is spirit, not strength.
Such a spirit, he saw it at the first glance when he entered the training ground!
"LeBron, why are you here?"
Seeing James' appearance, the Heat assistant coach in charge of this trial was surprised.
This uncle is now the 'general manager' of the Heat!
This is a joke within the Heat, because Heat boss Pat Riley now listens to James for everything.
Although the question of who is the boss between James and Wade is still being debated, the authority of the team, where is Wade comparable to James!
And according to observations these days.
It doesn't matter if you offend Wade, they haven't offended less before, and Wade himself doesn't even know that he was offended.
But offend James......
As long as you see James's cold eyes now, no one is not afraid.
This uncle is really different from Wade!
"What's the situation with those two now?"
The assistant coach really didn't expect James to ask about the two crazy people in the training camp as soon as he came up......
"Redick has been swearing at Yes like this for a long time, and Tyronn Lue has been swearing at Stephen Curry since he came to the team......
The relationship between Redick and Tyronn Lue and Yes is known to the whole world that Redick was humiliated by Yes in the NCAA, and Tyronn Lue was humiliated by Yes's apprentice Curry, and Curry did squatting on the toilet at him.
Obviously, these two people were stimulated by Yes and Curry a little abnormally.
"LeBron, do you want me to get these two people out?"
"Clear? No, sign them. ”
"Sign, sign them?! But, but their strength?!"
With their current strength that is not so rubbish, what's the use of signing them?!
"Even if it's waste, there is value in reuse, and if you sign them with the cheapest contract, you won't lose money."
James withdrew his gaze from Redick and Tyronn Lue before turning away.
Of course, it will not lose money, and it will be worth a lot of things to spread resentment and resentment against Yes in the team!
As for the strength of these two?
Hehe, does the Heat need them to play in their current strength?
The assistant coach of the Heat team is helpless about James's request, but he can't really listen to James because he is afraid of James.
To sign for this kind of thing, of course, he needs to ask the team's real boss, Pat Riley.
"Listen to LeBron, sign these two pieces of shit."
After Pat Riley listened to the assistant coach's words, there was not much change in expression on his face.
It wasn't until after the assistant coach left that a faint smile appeared on Pat Riley's face.
"Great, LeBron is really amazing!"
Pat Riley has been in the NBA for so many years, he has coached many, many players, and he has worked with many, many players, including Magic Johnson and Abdul-Jabbar.
But a born winner like LeBron James, a born winner, he's really seeing it for the first time!
In the NBA, it's really rare to find a natural winner who is so smart, knows how to win, and how to win championships!
"The Chosen One? Compared to a natural winner, what is the chosen one? ”
Pat Riley's eyes are constantly flickering, and being able to get James will probably be the biggest achievement in his life!
LeBron James will create an incredible dynasty for him in Miami, a miraculous dynasty that can make him comparable to Jerry West's dynasty!
"JJ, congratulations, you're now a Miami Heat player!"
Seriously, Greg Lawrence is a little incredible.
When he brought Redick here, he really didn't think that Redick could be favored by the Heat.
And according to the information he got internally, and it was personally appointed by LeBron James, the leading player of the Heat!
It's shocking.
Got the Miami Heat's signing commitment, not to mention that Greg Lawrence is a little blind, Redick is also blind.
He had never seen James, so how could he be appointed by James?
However, it doesn't matter, what is always needed is that he will be the NBA champion for at least the next six years, the Miami Heat!
It will be possible for him to defeat Yes on the stage of the finals and get back all the shame that Yes gave him!
"Yes, you didn't think I could stand up and have a chance to trample you under my feet, right?!"
Redick's mind is now full of pictures of James, Wade, Bosh and Gordon trampling Yes under their feet, and on Yes's side, Durant, Harden, Milicic, Millsap, Rondo, Gasol Jr., Barria and a group of supersonic players have all been lying down!
"Now, what are you going to do to fight me, hahahaha!"
Seeing that Reddick now laughs like the protagonist, Lawrence knows that Reddick's alcohol-drugged hysteria has recurred.
But this time, he felt that there was nothing wrong with what Reddick said.
He can have such confidence and qualifications to dream of such hysteria.
Because he's now a Miami Heat player, a noble future champion, a Miami Heat player.
He has gone from being a loser to a doomed winner.
Now Reddick was laughing wildly, frantically thinking about the image of Ye Si trampling under his feet, of course Ye Si didn't know this, and to be honest, he had now forgotten that he once had an opponent named Redick.
Now yes and the SuperSonics are actually trying to sign a good player.
Arenas' attempt failed.
Not only did he fail, but after Arenas signed with the Wizards, he arrogantly called and criticized Yes.
"Yes, is it possible that under the evil coercion of LeBron James and the Heat, you only have so much power left?!"
"What about your courage, your indomitability, your fearlessness?!"
"Yes, remember Uncle Ben's words, the only thing that can help you is yourself, don't blindly pursue shortcuts!"
Listening to Arenas on the other side hahahahaha hanging up the phone, Yes was very messy at that time.
The Seattle SuperSonics' efforts in the free market this year have been largely unproductive.
Tried Arenas, was rejected by Arenas, and was also criticized.
Trying Marion, Marion was very tempted but still refused, and he chose to take a pay cut to stay by Nash's side.
"Yes, I'm sorry, you're fine, but I said to Steve, and we'll work together forever in the future......"
After Marion's defeat, the SuperSonics tried to contact the 76ers and hesitated to give Iguodala the maximum salary.
As soon as he received Yes's invitation, Iguodala was very happy, and later sold Yes and SuperSonic, and finally used him and SuperSonics as a tool to raise prices, and signed a five-year 90 million maximum salary contract with the 76ers.
These big fish of the free market, under the round of attempts by YES and Hypersonics, have almost been emptied.
Iverson opted to re-sign with the Pistons, Artest and Ariza went to the Lakers, and O'Neal Jr. has joined the Heat......
"Yes is the worst eloquent lobbyist I've ever met!"
"James can hang him out of the universe in this regard, hahahaha!"
This is the first time Ye Si has worked as a lobbyist in the free market, and he has been 'ridiculed' even if he has not caught anything.
Looking at Pippen, who was laughing heartily on TV, Ye Si was also helpless.
"However, this is also the reason why we love Yes so much, and you can see that there is never a shortcut in his heart!"
"We love this kind of fairy tale that never thinks of shortcuts and has no shortcuts in our hearts!"
Are there no shortcuts......
looked at Pippen on TV, and then looked at the time on TV, 23:59:59......
On July 1, 2008, it finally arrived......
