As Ryan? As Hughes anticipated, Cavaliers management has been in discussions to bring James an outside helper in the summer. Whether Wang Jun wants to come or not, they have to make an offer.

Ray Allen announced that he would stay supersonic, Michael? Reed has reached an agreement with the Bucks, but the contract amount has not yet been announced, and the Cavaliers have few options in free agency.

Wang Jun is the first choice, because of the restricted Arenas clause, even if the salary is capped, the contract is not too big.

Another target is Larry? Hughes, who averaged 22 points, 6.3 rebounds, 4.7 assists and 2.9 steals per game last season and was named to the defensive lineup, the 26-year-old Hughes looks just as promising and should be in shape for the duration of a big contract.

The Cavaliers also have a lot of salary headroom.

Il Goskas, who had a salary of 14.63 million last season, chose to reduce his salary and renew his contract for 5 years and 55 million. He had an annual salary of less than 10 million for the first two years, and he was already the highest-paid person in the Cavaliers at present.

Others with a salary of more than 5 million are only the veteran Eric? Snow, knights have the money to poach anyone. Because of this, their letting go of Boozer last season was extremely unscrupulous.

On Tuesday, Cavaliers and former Raptors forward Don Yell? Marshall reached an agreement on a four-year, $20 million contract.

Marshall played in 65 games for the Raptors last season, averaging 11.5 points and 6.6 rebounds per game, and on March 13 this year, Marshall made 12 of 19 three-pointers from three-point range against the 76ers, tying the record set by Kobe Bryant for three-pointers in a single game.

Last season, the Cavaliers' lack of three-pointers was their biggest weakness, and Marshall shot 41.6 percent from three-point range last season. He made 151 three-pointers.

The Cavaliers have four consistent scoring points, with Big Z and Gooden on the inside. The base salary of Valejo in Brazil is enough to cope with the eastern team. Just another outside star. The Cavaliers will become the powerhouse of the East, and it will be difficult to think of it.

In the conference room, Cavaliers General Manager Danny? Ferry said solemnly: "I think I can give Wang Jun a top salary, don't think about Hughes." Hughes does have a set of defense, his feet are flexible, his hands are fast, and he can break through on the offensive end, but his shooting is too poor, and he is by no means a good teammate for LeBron, who is not a good shot. ”

Just been hired as an assistant to the general manager. Chris, VP of Operations? Grant said: "LeBron definitely wants Wang Jun to join, and I agree to give him a maximum salary, but judging from his performance last season, this person is very ambitious, and he is not satisfied with the ball in the Nets, so he may not be willing to assist LeBron." I think it's better to make an offer as soon as possible and have LeBron call him to ask what he thinks, not to waste time, and if he doesn't come chase Hughes instead. At least there are replacements. ”

Ferry nodded, and Grant was in charge of handling basketball-related matters, which mainly included drafts, trades, free agent signings, and more. He's a rookie, but he's not bad-eyed.

Scouts and supervisors were all involved in the discussion. It was agreed that Hughes could be a two-way guard and take on the task of playmaking after LeBron was off the court. If you can play point guard, it will help the team.

Ferry called Hughes, Wang's agent. A maximum salary was proposed.

James also immediately called Wang Jun. "King, I will not be polite to you. Give me a quasi-message, whether you want to come to the knight or not, if you don't come, we will turn to attack others. ”

Wang Jun sighed: "I'm sorry, I want to go to a team that can be the core and have unlimited shooting rights, and for this reason, I also rejected the Clippers." ”

"Okay then." James hung up the phone without saying a word, making no secret of his disappointment.

He wants to be Jordan, but not every Jordan can find his Pippen.

The management of the Chicago Bulls, another team in the East, also had a meeting to grab Wang Jun.

The Bulls' outside weaknesses are too obvious to even have an orthodox No. 2 position, and as long as Wang Jun is signed, they can let Hinrich play the familiar point guard.

But in this way, Gordon seems dispensable. Gordon is very attacking and won the Sixth Man of the Year last season, if Wang Jun comes, how can he have playing time? Wang Jun played for more than 35 minutes without pressure at all.

Once Wang Jun is missed, the Bulls will definitely have no chance next season, and they can't prevent it from the outside, who can they beat in the playoffs?

Lore Deng and Nocioni are too tall to shoot and can't make cameo appearances in the No. 2 position.

Unlike other teams, the Bulls had an ambition-only attitude toward Wang, and the manager called Ryan Hughes.

"Hello Ryan, I'm Bulls manager John? Paxson. ”

"Hello, do you want an offer?"

"That's right." Paxson paused. "We're going to offer a maximum salary, and even if the Nets match the contract, we're ready to sign and trade, so we have to make sure, is Wang Jun willing to join the Bulls?"

If Wang Jun is unwilling to come, then the twisted melon is not sweet, and the bull can only give up.

Wang Jun is willing to come, and they can negotiate with the Nets with peace of mind, without thinking about anything else, at most it will take some time.

Except for Hinrich and Lore Deng, the Bulls can use everyone else as a trade chip.

"I'll ask Wang Jun what he thinks, and I'll get back to you later, one day at the latest."

"Okay, I'll wait for your news."

Hughes immediately called Wang Jun to report the situation.

Wang Junzheng and Abby are having lunch together. "Bull? It seems to be good, but their lineup doesn't seem to be good for winning the championship, and the strong point is also a swing man. ”

As soon as Abby heard this, a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.

Wang Jun noticed this detail, and he knew that Abby liked Chicago and had a special affection for it.

He himself loves the Bulls because that's Jordan's team.

Hughes said seriously: "I don't think you should think about winning the championship, but about the ball. Lore Deng and Nocioni are inconsistent in shooting, can defend, can play in the No. 4 position, and Hinrich is a guard who loves to pass the ball. Center Chandler is a defensive blue-collar player, and if you go there must be the top scorer. I suggest you leave the Nets and join the Bulls. ”

"Isn't there still Ben Gordon?" Wang Jun asked.

"What the Bulls mean is that even if the Nets match the contract, they will offer to sign first and then trade, you can only take the middle class in the first year, and eighty percent is to send Gordon and draft picks to match, how can the Nets have another swingman? A good two-way guard and interior line is what they need. ”

The key point is that Gordon is cheap, and he has three years left on his rookie contract.

Hughes's analysis is very much in line with the style of the Nets owner, and the Nets will definitely not want to let Wang Jun go, but the deal is likely to be successful.

After the trade, the Nets had someone to grab points in the second quarter, and there were draft picks that could be selected and cultivated in the future, and the outside offensive firepower was super fierce.

Bulls Wang Jun and Hinrich partnered, defense and three-point are guaranteed, and backup guard Du Hong can take on the responsibility of organizing the offense. Gordon is the standard No. 2 play, which is why the Bulls will send him away instead of Dujon.

"Wait a minute." Wang Jun took the phone and asked Abby: "I am interested in the bull and think it is an opportunity, do you think it is okay?" ”

Abby nodded. Since Wang Jun wants to go, if she stops it, it will be a delay.

Wang Jun immediately said to Hughes: "It's decided, reply to the bull, I accept the offer." ”

The Bulls are young and promising overall, and he has the ball again, so why not?

And he thought it was special to go there, and he wanted to recreate the glory of the Bulls during the Jordan era. (To be continued.) )
