Chapter 667 NBA Free Agent Market

"Mr. Lawrence, what do the Heat say?"

In a dilapidated apartment building in Detroit, Redick looked anxiously at his agent, Greg Lawrence, smelling of alcohol.

Greg Lawrence was frowning at this time.

Redick asked him the Heat's opinion at this time, how could he know?

As an agent under Weiseman Company, he does have energy on the Heat's side, but it doesn't look at how popular the Heat are now.

Didn’t you see that even Marbury joined with a minimum salary?

According to his news, Marbury is not the only one who wants to join the Heat with a minimum salary. A group of veteran strongmen who want a championship want to join the Heat.

Who are you, JJ Redick?

You can't get stable playing time in a team like the Pistons, and you still want to go to the Heat and get a fully guaranteed contract with a basic salary. Why do you think so?

Just because your wife is in good shape?

This is indeed no problem, but except for me...

"Mr. Lawrence, do JJ and I really need to leave the NBA and the United States?"

Seeing the sad look on the woman's face next to Reddick, Lawrence sighed softly.

He really wanted to help, but it was really difficult.

Redick doesn't even want the Pistons. Even if the Heat are short of players, they won't want a waste.

"Mr. Lawrence, JJ and I can run around, but the child in our belly..."

"Belly, the child in the belly?!"

Greg Lawrence, who was still hesitant, was instantly shocked.

"Mr. Lawrence, I was too decadent before, but now I really want to work hard, for the sake of my children, and work harder. I really want to go to the Heat!"

Greg Lawrence, who recovered from the shock, looked up at the dim room in the dilapidated apartment building, which was glowing with green light, and finally gritted his teeth and nodded.

For children……

"I know, I will try my best, but you... I don't want to smell alcohol on you next time I see you."

He has been working with Redick since Redick was in college.

Redick is in the NCAA, and he is the number one person in the entire NCAA, a proud man of heaven. Otherwise, with his useless performance in the NBA, how could he have married such an 'excellent' wife!

However, in the end, I really didn't expect that Yes would come out of the blue, and Redick's fall would be beyond his imagination.

And this guy is really a loser. An NBA player lives in such a shabby apartment. This is still Detroit, not the Bay Area. What a loser this guy must be to be like this!

but……

Greg Lawrence took a last nostalgic look at the woman next to Redick and the woman's belly, which she had been caressing, and then called his Heat relationship phone number again.

After a while, Greg Lawrence hung up the phone.

"JJ, let's go to Miami next year."

"real?!"

"However, this is not a signing, this is a trial. You don't have the prestige to let the Heat immediately use their precious quota and salary space to sign."

Although a little disappointed, Redick nodded in the end.

He is not stupid, of course he knows that it is impossible to be taken over by the Heat directly.

After his two-year contract expired, the Pistons made it clear that they no longer wanted him.

June 30, 2008, in the Miami Heat training facility.

JJ Redick has been here for two days.

Here, Redick saw many trial players like him.

There are some excellent undrafted players invited by the Heat, and there are also some players who, like him, are about to lose their jobs in the NBA.

There are also some veterans who are here for the championship who are not afraid of unemployment and have a good reputation in the NBA, but are not enough for the Heat to immediately give away their contracts.

Among these prestigious veterans, the biggest or most famous player is of course the former Hawks player, point guard Tyronn Lue.

As one of the synonyms of NBA classic scenes, Tyronn Lue has been a role player throughout his career, but his fame is not just a role player.

Looking at Tyronn Lue who was training seriously there, Redick curled his lips in disdain.

Before coming to Miami, Redick really had a strong confidence that he could enter the Heat.

But after coming to the Heat, he discovered that he was wrong, and he was very, very wrong.

The current contract with the Miami Heat is too popular.

After Stephon Marbury announced that he would join with a minimum salary, the Heat have successively signed former Suns players Grant Hill and James Jones and former Raptors player Jose Calderon in the past two days.

Not to mention James Jones, I don’t know whose back door he got through.

But the signings of Grant Hill and Jose Calderon were shocking.

After the Raptors acquired Hinrich, they no longer had any interest in Calderon, a restricted free agent whose rookie contract expired. He could go anywhere, but Calderon is not an unknown player in the league. Many teams are A small middle class person who is willing to give him an annual salary of 5 million.

But he ultimately chose to join the Heat for $9 million in three years.

Grant Hill is the same. He was blown away by Durant in the playoffs last season, but he is not strong enough to start. He is definitely a killer as a substitute. Last season in the Suns, he could contribute more than 10 points per game, and his hit rate was as high as more than 50%. His physical condition and competitive state are very good.

It is not difficult for such a Grant Hill to find a contract with an annual salary of 5 million US dollars outside, but he finally chose to join the Heat for 2 years and 5 million US dollars.

There is also news that the former star player of the Pacers, O'Neal, is in contact with the Heat.

O'Neal jumped out of the Pacers' contract in advance because he didn't want to waste his time in the Pacers. He would rather give up the last year of the Pacers' 20 million contract and come out to win the championship. This is very shocking.

That's 20 million!

The Heat will definitely not be able to give O'Neal a 20 million contract. At that time, O'Neal will lose at least tens of millions of US dollars!

In other words, O'Neal can buy a championship with tens of millions of US dollars!

In other words, as long as he can stand out from the tryout and become a Heat player, he will earn 10 million!

Thinking of this, the depressed Redick seemed to be full of energy again.

Two years of drinking wine had already destroyed his strength and talent, and his will was almost worn out. The will worn out by alcohol always retreats so much. If he does not seek a little stimulation in spirit, it is very easy to collapse.

If it were not for the temptation of picking up the 10 million US dollars and defeating Yes, he would have been scared and ran away when he saw the fierce competition in the Heat training ground.

And now...

There are 10 million on the ground in front of him, and the end of the road in front is the spear that defeated Yes!

If he doesn't rush forward, is he still a human being?

"Shit Yes!"

"Shit Yes!"

"Shit Yes!"

Redick's crazy shooting and idiot mumbling made him a celebrity in the Miami Heat training hall like Tyronn Lue.

After James came to the Miami Heat, he was really busy because everything needed to start from scratch.

The selection of players for the team, the internal relations of the team, and even his own family's relocation problem, he has been very busy these days.

However, no matter how busy he is, James knows very well what his purpose is in coming to the Heat.

Championship!

Now that he has become the object of hatred for the whole world, he has completely freed himself from the confusion and confusion before.

He does not need the respect of others, he does not need the love of others.

He just needs others to respect the championship!

He will use the championship to win everything again!

Unless the whole world does not even respect the championship.

Then it does not matter if he is hated and disliked.

If the champion is hated, then what is the meaning of champions like Yes and Jordan?

At that time, he will be destroyed together with Yes and Jordan!

Just like the whole world says that Rondo has put the sacred data of triple-double into the mortal world and mud.

And he will either win the championship and go to heaven, or drag the great champions like Yes and Jordan into hell together!

When I win one, two, three, no, even four, five, six, seven championships, let's see how you still hate me!

Championship!

This is James' only pursuit now, and in order to win the championship, James knows very well what he needs.

With him, Wade, Ben Gordon, Bosh, Chandler, Marbury, Grant Hill and the upcoming O'Neal, the Heat's strength has surpassed the entire league.

No joke, the Heat's current hard power is the best in the entire NBA history!

No team is stronger than the current Heat. Just as many American media said when evaluating Grant Hill and Calderon joining the Heat, O'Neal's grandmother can win the championship as the head coach of the Heat.

Of course, the current Heat head coach Spoelstra is definitely much stronger than O'Neal's grandmother.

James has never won a championship in reality.

But he has 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 is now leading the strongest team in history, this is correct.

But don't forget that Yes also won the championship with the weakest team in history!

What is it based on?

It's spirit!

Even if the Heat don't have the spirit of unity and mutual sacrifice like the Supersonics, they still need the courage to move forward and kill their opponents!

He needs to find such players.

Although the Heat's training grounds are now full of rubbish, he is looking for spirit, not strength.

He saw this spirit the first time he entered the training ground!

"LeBron, why are you here?"

The assistant coach of the Heat in charge of this tryout was surprised to see James.

This old man is now the "general manager" of the Heat!

This is a joke within the Heat, because the Heat boss Pat Riley now listens to James in everything.

Although the question of who is the boss of the Heat, James or Wade, is still under debate, but Wade is no match for James in terms of team authority!

And based on observations over the past few days.

It doesn’t matter if you offend Wade, they have offended him before, and Wade himself doesn’t even know that he has been offended.

But what about offending James…

No one would not be afraid if they saw James’ cold and sharp eyes now.

This old man is really different from Wade!

“What’s the situation of those two now?”

The assistant coach really didn’t expect James to ask about the two crazy people in the training camp right away…

“Redick has been cursing at Yes for a long time, and Tyronn Lue has been cursing at Stephen Curry since he came to the team…”

The relationship between Redick, Tyronn Lue and Yes is known to the whole world. Redick was humiliated by Yes in the NCAA and Tyronn Lue was humiliated by Yes’s apprentice Curry, who made the action of squatting on the toilet in front of him.

Obviously, these two people were stimulated by Yes and Curry to be a little abnormal.

"LeBron, do you want me to get rid of these two people?"

"Get rid of them? No, sign them."

"Sign, sign them?! But, but their strength?!"

What's the point of signing them with their current rubbish strength? !

"Even if they are trash, they are worth reusing. Signing them with the cheapest contract will not be a loss."

After James withdrew his gaze from Redick and Tyronn Lue, he turned and left.

Of course it will not be a loss. Being able to spread resentment and hatred against Yes in the team is worth paying a lot of things!

As for the strength of these two people?

Haha, does the Heat's current strength require them to play?

The assistant coach of the Heat was helpless about James' request, but he couldn't really listen to James because he was afraid of James.

For signing, he certainly needed to ask Pat Riley, the real boss of the team.

"Listen to LeBron and sign these two trash."

After listening to the assistant coach's words, Pat Riley's face never changed much.

It was not until the assistant coach left that Pat Riley showed a faint smile on his face.

"Great, LeBron is really great!"

Pat Riley has been in the NBA for so many years. He has coached many players and worked with many players, including historical strongmen like Magic Johnson and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar.

But it is the first time for him to see a natural winner like LeBron James!

In the NBA, it is really rare to find a natural winner who is so smart and knows how to win and win the championship!

"The Chosen One? Compared with the natural winner, what is the Chosen One?"

Pat Riley's eyes are constantly flashing. Being able to get James will probably be the greatest achievement in his life!

LeBron James will create an incredible dynasty for him in Miami, a miracle-like dynasty that can make him comparable to Jerry West's dynasty!

"JJ, congratulations, you are now a player of the Miami Heat!"

To be honest, 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 from inside, it was personally appointed by LeBron James, the star player of the Heat!

This is shocking.

Getting the signing commitment from the Miami Heat was a bit of a gamble for Greg Lawrence, and Redick was also a gamble.

He had never even met James, so how could he be chosen by James?

However, it didn't matter. What mattered was that he would become the NBA champion for at least six years in the future, a player of the Miami Heat!

He would have the possibility to defeat Yes on the stage of the finals and get back all the humiliation that Yes had given him!

"Yes, you didn't expect that I could still stand up and have a chance to step on you, did you?!"

Redick's mind was now full of the images of James, Wade, Bosh and Gordon stepping on Yes, and beside Yes, Durant, Harden, Milicic, Millsap, Rondo, Gasol, Barea and a group of Sonics players had all fallen down!

"Now, what else can you use to fight me, hahahaha!"

Seeing Redick laughing like a protagonist, Lawrence knew that Redick's hysteria caused by alcohol anesthesia had recurred.

But this time, he felt that what Redick said was not wrong.

He can have such confidence and qualifications to have such hysterical dreams.

Because he is now a player of the Miami Heat, a noble future champion, a player of the Miami Heat.

He has changed from a loser to a destined winner.

Now Redick is laughing wildly, thinking madly about the scene of stepping on Yes, which Yes certainly doesn't know. To be honest, he has now somewhat forgotten that he once had an opponent named Redick.

Now Yes and the Supersonics are actually trying to sign an excellent player.

Arenas' attempt failed.

Not only did he fail, but after Arenas signed with the Wizards, he arrogantly called to criticize Yes.

"Yes, is this all you have left under the evil coercion of LeBron James and the Heat?!"

"Where is your courage, your indomitable spirit, and your fearlessness?!"

"Yes, remember what I said, the only one who can help you is yourself, don't blindly pursue shortcuts!"

Listening to Arenas hanging up the phone with a laugh, Yes was very confused at the time.

The Seattle Supersonics' efforts in the free market this year have been fruitless.

Tried Arenas, was rejected by Arenas, and was criticized.

Tried Marion, Marion was very tempted but still refused, he chose to take a pay cut to stay with Nash.

"Yes, I'm sorry, you are very good, but Steve and I have agreed that we will work hard to be together forever in the future..."

After Marion failed, the Supersonics tried to contact the 76ers again and hesitated whether to give the maximum salary to Iguodala.

Iguodala was very happy when he received Yes's invitation, and then he sold Yes and the Supersonics, and finally used him and the Supersonics as tools to raise the price, and signed a 5-year, 90 million maximum salary contract with the 76ers.

These big fish in the free market have been almost cleared out after a round of attempts by Yes and the Supersonics.

Iverson chose to renew his contract with the Pistons, Artest and Ariza went to the Lakers, and O'Neal has joined the Heat...

"Yes is the worst lobbyist I have ever seen!"

"James can beat him out of the universe in this regard, hahahaha!"

This is the first time Yes has been a lobbyist in the free market. It's okay that he didn't get anything, but he was also "ridiculed" by others.

Looking at Pippen laughing on TV, Yes was also helpless.

"But this is why we love Yes so much. It can be seen that he has never had a shortcut in his heart!"

"We like this fairy tale that has never thought of shortcuts and has no shortcuts in his heart!"

No shortcuts...

Looking at Pippen on TV, and then looking at the time on TV, 23:59:59...

July 1, 2008, it's finally here...
