Chapter 0954 Personally invited, take the initiative to take a salary cut! (First update!) )
"Believe me, Dwyan, this is the most sincere offer we've ever received." Miami, Wade's home, Wade's agent Henry said to him.
Wade, who was sitting across from Henry, sighed helplessly.
There weren't many big fish in the free market this summer, so after knowing the answer given by the Heat, Wade asked his agent to help him find his next home.
Originally, in the eyes of Wade and his agent, although Wade's age was there, at least, at least there would be some good offers.
However, the idea is good, but the reality is cruel.
In Lin Yi's previous life, the reason why Wade chose to join the Bulls in the 16/17 season was actually a big reason because Wade received far fewer offers than he imagined.
Because, the NBA is a business league.
Wade, who is about to turn 4 years old, has not many teams willing to offer him a long-term contract.
Regardless of Wade's current strength or seventy percent or sixty percent of his peak, these are no longer important.
Importantly, these teams need to consider the flexibility of the salary space, the help to the team, and whether it is cost-effective when bringing in Wade
Wade won't be in their plans for teams that need to be messed up, and they're not in Wade's plans.
Because although Wade is 4 years old, he is still eager for the opportunity to contribute his spare strength.
And for those mid-stream teams, in the case of tight salary space, it is better to bet on Wade on Wade, it is better to dig up some cheap instant power.
As for the teams that aspire to compete for the title?
Well, the Spurs are really interested in Wade.
But this summer, Vicky's top pick is Gasol.
Of course, the Spurs still tentatively sent a mid-range offer to Wade, after all, in the eyes of Vicky, what if Wade is hungry for a championship and chooses to join the Spurs?
As a result, Wade's current situation can only be described as embarrassing.
The star who has repeatedly chosen to take a salary cut for the sake of the "Heat Brothers" and the Heat rebuild, is now the most interested in him, and the most sincere, is actually the Knicks, can you believe it?
Wade fell silent.
Indeed, by all accounts, the Knicks are the best choice.
Because of joining the Knicks, Wade has a good chance of winning the second championship of his career.
How could Wade, who only won one championship in this life, be willing?
However, joining this enemy of the sunset, into the arms of Lin Yi, the enemy of my emperor's life, Wade's pride in his heart did not allow him to do so.
In Lin Yi's life, the 0 golden generation has lived a very miserable life, but this does not mean that they have lost their ambitions.
Unwilling, unwilling, and wanting to go
Wade was caught in a dilemma.
……
On the 10th, when Lin Yi, who was busy with the wedding, appeared in front of Wade with Klay, I cannon, Gobert, and Jokic, the hesitant Flash made his final decision.
Lin Yi knows that against a player like Wade, it is useless to just talk about money.
In the 21st century, NBA stars don't just rely on their salary, and more often than not, salary has become a status symbol.
Wade, who once sat on the throne of the league's No. 1 scoring guard, is naturally not short of money, and now, in Lin Yi's view, what he needs is respect and recognition.
Wade, who was abandoned by Riley, has long been heartbroken by this cold alliance.
Then, after all kinds of tentative inquiries, Wade even began to have a self-doubting thought.
Therefore, Lin Yi gave Wade enough respect.
He brought the Knicks' roster for next season to Miami.
And there's Wade's friend Paul in it.
"We need you, Dwyan." When Lin Yi, who won four championships in five years and five consecutive regular season VPs, sent an invitation to Wade personally, the Flash could no longer refuse.
He puffed out his cheeks and looked at Lin Yi with an incredulous expression.
If it was him five years ago, even if Lin Yi appeared in front of him with the championship team, he would not be moved.
But now he
There is no doubt that Lin Yi is the first person in the NBA today.
The Knicks are the best team in the NBA right now.
Because even with LeBron, Wade couldn't climb the mountain.
Wade felt the sincerity from the Knicks.
And just like the old boxer would rather go to the Sun to retire than join the Knicks' enemies, on the 10th, Lin Yi conquered Wade with his personality charm.
Well, when he doesn't pierce other people's hearts, he still has a little bit of personality charm.
"I agree to join the Knicks." Wade uttered the words in a slightly trembling voice.
Lin Yi smiled happily, "Now, we are comrades-in-arms." ”
"However, I have one condition." Wade added.
Lin Yi spread his hands, it was not unusual for a player like Wade to offer some additional conditions, so he motioned for Wade to continue.
"I don't accept a $15 million one-year contract." Wade said to Lin Yi.
Is it because you don't have enough money?
"No problem, we'll keep vacating next"
"No, I mean, it's enough to give me a middle class." Wade said to Lin Yi very seriously.
Lin Yi: ""
Paul: ""
Clay: ""
Goebel: ""
Jokic: ""
Look to the sky!
In this world, there are really people who think they take too much money?
"I've seen your salary structure and squad structure, Lin, don't try to lie to me, I know, after Tyson's departure, what you need most and most urgently is to bring in reinforcements from the inside, not from the outside."
"If I sign this $15 million contract, you're going to be bothered by the signings next season, right?"
"Also, I don't want to leave after just playing for a year with the Knicks, I don't know what the future holds, but I'm already old so Lin, give me a middle-class contract, I don't want to go through it again." Wade explained to Lin Yi.
Lin Yi smashed his tongue.
Because he never expected that Wade would personally stand up and help him solve the most troublesome problem.
Maybe? This is the attribute that every player who turns an enemy into a friend will bring?
In Lin Yi's previous life, Durant also took various salary cuts from the Warriors after joining.
Of course, Lin Yi knows that Wade is different from Durant this time.
This thing was heartbroken by Riley
Then, I was heartbroken by a bunch of quotes
Lin Yi did not refuse Wade's condition, according to Wade's personal wishes, he planned to play four more seasons and retire, so next, Lin Yi handed over the contract negotiation to Javier and Wade's agent.
And after Lin Yi left with his teammates, at Wade's home, Henry looked at Wade and said, "Dwyan, why did you make such a choice. ”
Wade shook his head, "Henry, I'm old, and honestly, I don't want to leave Miami if I can." ”
"But you can see it, this is not home."
"The Knicks showed their sincerity and respect, and that's exactly what I wanted."
"Salary? It doesn't matter, it's important that I'll tell the boss in my own way that he's wrong. With that, Wade clenched his fists.
It's just that
After turning enemies into friends with the Knicks, how do you explain it to LeBron?
Wade started to have a headache again
……
