267: The next stop, the trip of three! (Thanks to Cheats0 for the 5000 reward)(4/5)
At that time, Xiao Ao actually had a very bad relationship with Atai, but because Atai was his teammate, he still resolutely chose to help out.
In his own words: “I want to make sure everyone goes back safely.”
But perhaps it was because the Pacers in the original history were indeed capable, and Bird was willing to give him a maximum salary. So in the end, O'Neal Jr. chose money among money and dad.
But now it's different. The Pacers' performance is not ideal now, and they didn't even make the playoffs last season.
For O'O, the only attraction of this team may be the smiling Assassin.
As a result, Bird fired the smiling assassin at this time.
Damn it, didn't I continue to push O'Neal out?
Li Ang was waiting, waiting for Little Cronigillo's actions.
All of this is done according to the cake he drew!
The next morning, Li Ang received a call from Colangelo, saying that everything had been negotiated.
The road has been paved, and now, I’m just waiting for Li Ang to nod!
Li Ang took a deep breath and prepared to carry out the sun's crazy plan.
Although it is very risky, now this is the best way to compete with Larry Brown.
"Let's start." Li Ang said softly to the phone receiver.
And history has also changed from this.
That morning, the Suns exchanged the 2004 first-round draft pick + Tom Gugliotta for the Jazz's unknown undrafted Laga Bale.
The salary of this transaction is extremely mismatched, because Gugliotta's annual salary is as high as tens of millions of dollars, while Laga Bell is just a basic salary. However, because the Jazz has salary space, the transaction can be completed without having to be balanced.
Although Gugliotta earned a tens of millions of annual salary, he could only contribute 3.7 points last season, making it one of the largest garbage contracts in the league.
Therefore, the Jazz's plot is the 2004 Knicks draft pick.
Give me a draft pick, I will help you get a bad contract, and everyone will get what you need.
Gugliotta's garbage contract is only one year left, so it's not a problem. Anyway, after Ma Long left, the Jazz's goal for next season will be rebuilding.
Sloan believes that Marbury's going to the Knicks will not help that team get out of the predicament.
This draft pick should be quite valuable.
I used Laga Bale to exchange for a draft pick with a good pick, and this wave is not a loss.
The Sun has freed up tens of millions of salary space as it wishes, and with the salary cap rising by 3 million this summer, they are fully capable of showing off their strength!
Marion is happy. The team has taken great pains to renew my contract with me!
Marion is still young, and Li An knows one truth this summer - don't be too happy too early.
Sure enough, Marion was happy. After making room, the sun turned around and made a big news:
"Phoenix Suns and Li An reached an oral agreement on a maximum salary of 6 years. The starting salary in the first year is 10.96 million, the total salary is 78 million in 6 years. The last year is the player option! The official signing is about to be completed!"
This news is definitely a bombshell, and ESPN has interjected the news urgently in football games. After all, Li Ang is one of the biggest players in the free agent market this year.
Moreover, the plot of Li Ang Qunar has been going on for a long time, and everyone has been enchanted.
Now that the finale suddenly comes, you must notify me immediately.
Dumas looked at the news and shook his head.
Because the Pistons got nothing, they wanted the Suns to send Studmeier to sign first and then exchange.
But the Sun refused. You either match the contract of nearly 80 million, or let Li Ang go.
When Davidson heard that he was 80 million, he was so scared.
You might as well exchange my life, this matches a der.
Let people go quickly!
Therefore, the piston finally had no choice but to give up the match and gave Li Ang to the sun for free, without a single hair to Larry Brown!
Larry Brown also sighed. It was a pity that he could not throw Li Ang to Boston and put it on.
But it doesn't matter. The Suns are in a mess now and there is no one in the team who can beat. The only thing that is not bad is the surprisingly ugly Marion.
Next season, the Pistons can crush the Suns!
However, signing Li Ang is just the first step for Sun's operation this summer.
Soon, the Suns and Marion also reached an agreement to renew the maximum salary, but just after completing the contract renewal, Marion was sent to Dallas.
Cuban, who is worried about having money and nowhere to spend money, said that no matter what appearance we look like, Marion, come here quickly!
Marion joined the Mavericks by signing first and then changing, and the Suns exchanged them for the Mavericks... Steve Nash and Danny Fordson!
Danny Fordson is a salary balancer, and the main players of this transaction are Nash and Marion.
Marion and Nash, Colangelo chose the latter.
After all, if you have Li Ang, it seems a bit coincidental to ask for Marion again.
Colangelo has been thinking about Nash home for a long time, and they think this Canadian point guard can burst out more power.
Moreover, Colangelo also discussed with Li Ang, who expressed his willingness to cooperate with Nash.
So Colangelo implemented his second plan to recruit Nash.
The Sun made two contracts in a day, which really caught everyone off guard.
But Li Ang + Nash, Larry Brown feels that he should be able to deal with it.
Nash + Nowitzki can't go far, let alone Nash + Li Ang.
Could Li Ang be stronger in offense than German tanks?
It's okay, the piston is abused!
Li Ang’s palms were sweating, and according to the plan that Colangelo and himself said. Next, there was a last move!
At night, when everyone was discussing the news that Leon and Nash joined forces in Arizona, Colangelo dropped the third bombshell!
He used Antonio McDyce, who was exchanged from the Knicks and the first-round draft pick of 06, to sign first and then exchange from the Pacers, and won Jermaine O'Neal for a maximum salary!
The name Marbury gave before was correct, it was O'Neal.
It's just that this O'Neal is not O'Neal.
The Pacers completely annoyed O'O, and they saw that there was no hope of renewing the contract. You should know that O'Neal is not a restricted free agent. The Pacers don't even have the right to force a match, so they go wherever they like.
Instead of watching Xiao Ao be signed away for free, it is better to sign first and then exchange at least to leave something.
As a loyal person, O'Neal Jr. also agreed to the Pacers and was willing to leave something for the parent team.
Given the Knicks' urinary nature, Bird thinks their 2006 draft pick should be pretty good.
Because McDyce has only one year left for the contract, it will expire next year and clear it. At that time, the Pacers can also operate in the free agent market.
The reason why O'O chose the Suns was not only because there were Li Ang and Nash here, but also because of a small detail - Colangelo signed Gram, a middle school coach who regarded O'Neal as his father, earlier today, as the team's player development consultant!
So what if he is the son of the ugly National Basketball Association? Colangelo is playing with the worldly style clearly.
Bird lost O'Neal Jr., and it was true that no one could understand this.
So, this basketball is about human nature.
At this point, the entire league was stunned.
This year, the Suns swallowed two of the three big fish in the free agent market.
Except for Kidd, they were all packed and taken away by Phoenix City.
Li Ang also swallowed. Although Colangelo had told him the whole process of the plan before, now that it has really been achieved, Li Ang was still very shocked.
Before, at the Raptors and Pistons, although Li Ang's arrival also changed the team, the change was not particularly big.
But now, this sun has become a completely different sun!
Nash and O'Neal Jr....
Li Ang feels that he has the confidence to fight against the Pistons and many powerful teams in the West!
Nash won’t talk about it. O’Neal Jr.’s 2003-04 season was a player in the top three levels of MVP. Before this guy was injured, he was indeed a super high level, the existence of the Corn Earth Dominance.
And Li Ang himself will continue to evolve.
Larry Brown may not have a good time next season!
Moreover, after the 2004 playoffs, if history does not shift, then this will lead the Dream Team to the Athens Olympics.
Well, the Olympics...
Li Ang had to give him a thorough understanding in both fields!
Pull Brown's beep completely on the pillar of shame!
Seeing everyone on the TV amazed at the Suns' operation of almost exchanging the team's blood, Li Ang's heart was beating wildly.
The Suns really changed their blood in this wave, and all three cores were newly added.
To be continued...
