Chapter 455 The sincerity of the wolf king Lefu

First of all, let’s not talk about how huge this plan costs. After all, buying out players requires a lot of US dollars. No team’s boss can not care about so much US dollars.

The second is the role players signed with a basic salary, and they are definitely very weak. It is not ruled out that there are some good players who are ignored, but the chances are quite small.

Judging from Yi Jianlian's experience, Boss Thunder is not as generous as a person.

The three of them looked embarrassed. They just received instructions from team executives to recruit Yi Dun. They had never thought about the specific details.

However, they also knew that if they really wanted to win Yi Dun, their third young master, would definitely break up anyway, especially Westbrook, who had just signed the maximum salary, they would definitely have to leave, otherwise they would not be able to make up their salary space at all.

As for Harden, because his rookie contract has one year left, his annual salary of more than 5 million is almost considered a waste of time, which is quite cost-effective.

Westbrook suddenly felt a sense of crisis in his heart and didn't want to speak anymore. He now understood that if Yi Dun wanted to come to Thunder, he would definitely have to leave.

The most likely way to operate is to trade several players of contract years by yourself, then buy out these players and free up salary space.

If the players who were bought out signs with other teams and their salary is the same as before, the Thunder actually doesn't have to pay the buyout fee. Even if the salary is lower than before, the Thunder only needs to make up the difference.

In this way, Thunder actually didn't have to pay much, and it basically cost some small costs, and then exchanged Westbrook for Yi Dun.

Durant generally understood this matter, but he must be unhappy at all. Even if the team executives have a mind, they will not be able to have the intention of selling themselves.

As for Harden, he is also not panicked. His rookie contract has one year left, which is the most cost-effective moment. If the Thunder wants to win the championship next season, it is the best choice to keep himself.

The three of them had their own thoughts in their minds, but no one spoke for a moment.

"Yi, I believe there is always a solution to things. I still hope that Yi Dun can give priority to our Thunder. We have the greatest sincerity and will never disappoint Yi Dun."

"If Yi Dun comes to Thunder, he will be the leader of our Thunder." Durant, who had not spoken much, spoke directly.

These words directly scared Yi Jianlian, making Yi Dun the boss of the Thunder? Is this guy Durant crazy about wanting to win the championship?

Now the boss of this Thunder is undoubtedly Durant, there is no doubt about this.

If Yi Dun joins the Thunder, Durant is even willing to give up his leadership position, which is enough to show Durant's desire for the championship.

Yi Jianlian told Yi Dun about Dun's meaning, and Yi Dun felt speechless.

What does it mean to give up the position of boss to yourself? Isn’t this thing better than the boss?

With your fame and strength, no matter which team you go to, you will definitely be the boss. Who can compete with me for this leadership position?

However, judging by Durant’s meaning, it is indeed full of sincerity, which makes Yi Dun feel good about this team.

...

After seeing off the three of them, Yi Jianlian asked Yi Dun with a smile.

"How is it? Thunder is really sincere. Is there any intention to join Thunder?"

"But there is a problem with their cap space. If you go, the most likely Westbrook will leave the team."

Yi Dun asked curiously: "Westbrook? Is that little man who looks like a tiny ninja turtle?"

"Yes, his strength is still good, but if he leaves, the bearded Harden can act as a point guard. With your joining, the Thunder can still win the championship easily."

"But don't make a decision too early now. Since the Thunder are coming, the other teams will definitely not be willing to give up the disadvantage."

As Yi Jianlian said, the two had just chatted for less than three minutes and someone immediately knocked on the door again.

There were not many people coming this time, only one person, and one white man.

Yi Jianlian stood up and greeted him, "Hello, Kevin."

The big white man smiled gently: "Yi, hello, long time no see."

Yi Jianlian was helpless again. Don’t these people know that they were still playing in the NBA last season? Why did they always say that it’s been a long time no see?

Could it be a long time for them in a few months?!

"Yidun, let me introduce you to it. This is Kevin Love God." Yi Jianlian introduced the identity of the person.

Yi Dun's mouth twitched, what kind of nickname is this, the God of Love?! Why does it sound so slim!

"He's the surname love, so we call him Love God in our country." Yi Jianlian couldn't help but explain in a low voice when he saw Yi Dun's puzzled look.

This explanation makes Yi Dun speechless, is his last name Ai?

After Love sat down, he started to communicate with Yi Jianlian.

"We are sincerely invited Mr. Yi Dun to join the Timberwolves. Yi, you should be very clear about our Timberwolves."

"We have enough salary space, enough talented players, and more importantly, we can give Yidun an undisputed leader."

"I want to lead a weak team in the league to win the championship, and the sense of accomplishment is definitely much higher than joining those powerful teams." Love said slowly.

This made Yi Jianlian amusement. The Timberwolves have sufficient salary space, which is no problem, but it would be funny to say that they have enough excellent genius players.

This season that just ended, because of the shrinking season, the Timberwolves only won 26 games and failed to get tickets to the playoffs, ranking fourth from the bottom in the West.

In addition to Love, there are mainly players in the team such as Michael Beasley, Dako Milicic, Derek Williams and Rubio.

The first three are relatively well-known parallel products. Although they are talented, they are unable to match their rankings due to various reasons.

Especially Milicic, who is nicknamed Victory Cigar, it is really not easy for a team to take in.

What happened to Milicic is really a long story for children. Yi Jianlian is not going to tell Yi Dun about Milicic's experience. After all, this matter has nothing to do with which team Yi Dun chooses to join.

As for Rubio, because his shooting is so bad, he has the nickname of Lu Yizhong.

Anyway, if you want to say that the Timberwolves are talented, it must be a deception. The only player who can be called a star is now only one Love.

Love's strength is still quite impressive. In the 10-11 season, Love can average 20+15 data per game, and it seems to have grown into a historical power forward. However, due to the poor strength of his teammates, the Timberwolves he led was too poor in the Timberwolves' record.

Sometimes, whether some players can be ranked in history depends on their fate.

For example, if Love maintains 20+10 data all year round and gives him some good players to help, he is a strong contender for the championship all year round, then he is actually no different from Duncan.

Some fans will say that Love has various flaws, but in fact, Duncan is not saying that he is perfect, he has also been completely defeated.

What’s more interesting is that in recent years, Love and Duncan have all the matchups on the court, Love has beaten Duncan in terms of data. I believe this is something that no one expected.

Since 2009, Love and Duncan have never lost in terms of data, and even have a record of 32 points, 22 rebounds to crush Duncan 9 points and 13 rebounds.

When did Love enter the league? In 2008! That's right, Love, who was in the second grade alone, has the ability to compete with Duncan.

Of course, Love is not as good as Duncan in defense, but he also has the strong three-point strength that Duncan does not have.

If such a player is better, he may really become a super power forward in the top five or even top three levels in history.

Now Love's fate has shown an important turning point. If he can get help from Yi Dun, he will win more championships and maintain a 20+10-year data, his historical status will inevitably be improved by several levels.

Yi Jianlian translated Love's words to Yi Dun, but Yi Dun did not make any statement. According to Yi Jianlian, many teams are definitely ready to win over them now, and there is definitely no need for him to make a statement in a short time.

Seeing that Yi Dun was not moving, Lefu was a little anxious. The opportunity to change his destiny was in front of him, so how could he bear to miss it?

"If Yi Dun is willing to come to the Timberwolves, I am willing to lose weight and act as a space-type fourth player to help Yi Dun open up the basket space." Love said directly with his heart.

Yi Jianlian felt a little nervous when he said this, and he immediately understood Love's determination.

As a big killer at the basket, Love is actually willing to lose weight and cooperate with Yi Dun. What a great determination it takes.

The inside line is undoubtedly the position that requires physical confrontation the most. If a player is fat and strong, he will undoubtedly have an advantage in the confrontation and will not be easily injured.

If you lose weight, you may face injury problems.

This is like letting O'Neal lose 50 kilograms. Not to mention whether he has any dominance at the basket, it is estimated that it would be good to be able to play half of the game in a season.

It can be said that Love's sincerity is amazing, and even Yi Jianlian was a little moved.
