Chapter 388 [What's the hurry]
As soon as the new agreement was announced, Ryan Hughes immediately called Wang Jun and told him not to worry.
"What's the rush? The contract for playing basketball is just a small one. As long as I play level data next season, advertising endorsements are the big head of making money, right?" Wang Jun said with a smile.
"I'll be relieved if you think so."
"Let's have dinner together at noon? I'll treat you to dinner, and a friend is here." Wang Jun suggested.
"Where?"
Wang Jun called all his friends, including James, to the "Wanshou Palace" for dinner.
James came to New York to support his friend's draft. Wang Jun asked James to invite his friend, a defender named Chris Paul, who was predicted to be the top five strongman in the draft.
Paul shook hands with Wang Jun. "Wang, I'm glad to see you."
"So too, I wish you a good pick and go to the team you like."
James kept silent about digging Wang Jun to the Cavaliers, so as not to be embarrassed by being rejected.
He knew that Wang Jun did not want to join, and the new agreement was not good for Wang Jun, so it was difficult for him to leave the Nets.
Paul and James met during the game in Greens Poro in high school. At the McDonald's All-American Star Game held in Cleveland in 2013, they were both players of the Eastern Conference Star Team. They cooperated well and became friends.
While eating, Paul said intoxicatedly: "We exchanged phone numbers with each other, and since that day we have wanted to fall asleep in each other's voice almost every day."
Everyone shrank their necks together and shivered.??
Paul continued: "Our girlfriend is also the best friend, because when we were together, they could only talk to each other."
Wang Jun asked: "So...what makes you fall in love at first sight?"
"God's will." James replied.
Everyone was laughing so hard.
Paul quickly got into the circle. He was an interesting person and kept telling jokes.
James went directly to the NBA after high school. Paul played in college for two seasons until this year. Just by making James optimistic about this, Wang Jun guessed that Paul was definitely good at Paul's strength and would become a star in the future.
James always likes competitive people and winners. He likes to be with these people and wants to be a successful person himself.
Birds of a feather flock together. Birds of a feather flock together. Strong people gather together to compare with each other can become the driving force for progress.
When Wang Jun makes friends, he doesn't look at his identity and goes out to participate in reality shows. Even if the crazy Stephanie wants to make friends with him, he still leaves a phone call.
According to regulations, the chef cannot have dinner with the guests, but Wang Jun doesn't care about that much and calls the website moderator "the legendary ghost" Cai Minghao to the private room for a while.
On the forum, the "Princes" have been trying their best to maintain Wang Jun's reputation and fought fiercely with the "anti-kings". The moderator is a die-hard fan, "fighter among the Prince".
Wang Jun watched the 2oo5 draft at home, while James went to the scene as Paul's relatives and friends group.
Bogut became the second No. 1 pick in international players and was selected by the Bucks, which announced the rise of international players. Some people say he is "White Duncan".
Marvin Williams became the second place and went to the weak Hawks. He is an all-around forward with a long range, with good physical fitness and a little bit out of four.
Delon Williams, who had competed with Wang Jun in college, was Tanhua. What he praised most was his thick figure. With his good height, he could easily overwhelm short defenders, had a good sense of assist, and was good at pick-and-roll.
Relying on his body, Deron was attracted by the Jazz.
Paul was the fourth, and the Hornets were selected. The Hornets were so bad, and what was even worse was their luck. In the end, they only got the No. 4 sign.
For Paul, the only good news is that the Hornets head coach, Byron Scott's coaching style is to give the point guard the maximum freedom. Let the point guard swing freely on the court, and it is easy to play.
Wang Jun didn't recognize the people behind him, and his reputation was not very good.
The Nets team chose Wien Sheeman, the black power forward who relied on central shots. This is not a good sign. If the star insider is introduced in the summer, the frontcourt lineup will be too crowded and not many can be used.
The second round draft pick was traded out, but the Nets did not select anyone.
There were no major deals in this draft, and all teams were staring at the free market.
In July, Abby went to work. Wang Jun stayed at home and waited for news.
Hughes called and said, "Your situation is very special and there are not many offers so far."
“Because of the Arenas terms?”
"Unless you are particularly needed and are determined to win, you will not be offered a maximum salary. You were a player in the first two years, and your salary in the next three years accounts for too much salary space. The media calls this a poison contract." Hughes said with a wry smile.
The "poison contract" is the product of the new labor-capital agreement, and it is a desperate battle between the poached team and Wang Jun happened to catch up.
The Nets team did not open a contract, but they waited for Wang Jun to accept the offer from other teams and chose whether to match. Hughes did not negotiate with the Nets at all, so that was meaningless.
There is no need to talk about the benefits of restricting free agents, and you can compare prices. The disadvantages are also obvious. If you are in a bad team, the opponent will pay a high salary and force it to keep it, and you can't leave even if you want to.
Wang Jun doesn't hate the Nets, so he can afford to wait. "Which teams have quoted now?"
"There are four, Celtics, Pacers, 76ers, and Eagles." Hughes replied.
"No one I like," Wang Jun said.
"The Pacers reached the finals this year. You can take over Miller to compete for the championship. Isn't that interested?" Hughes smiled.
"Although they are not bad at all, I really can't imagine how they are playing with Artest."
Miller is old, and the Pacers have long planned to find a replacement. There are already three good players in the team, Jackson, Arte, and O'Neal Jr., who cannot offer Wang Jun a maximum salary contract.
They offered Wang Jun five years, and the average annual salary was much higher than Artest, but Artest only lasted 420,000 yuan in 202 years, and expired in 209 years. At that time, Artest was not very strong, so this contract was not sincere, and it was just attracted by the championship.
Even if Wang Jun agrees to the offer, the net team will match without hesitation.
The contracts offered by the 76ers are higher than those of the Pacers, and they want to form Iverson, Wang Jun and Weber Trident. Considering that the two-level scorers need to share the ball rights, they don't want to give Wang Jun a bigger contract.
The Eagles, the Celtics offer a maximum salary of 580,000 US dollars in five years.
Wang Jun doesn't want to go to the Celtics. With Pierce here, he definitely can't attack with the ball and looks for opportunities on the outside. He is similar to Carter's partner, so why bother to leave?
The Eagles have the most salary space, and Joe Johnson, who is pursuing the Suns, has issued a five-year contract worth $69.67 million.
When Wang Jun heard that the other party actually gave him so many contracts, Qiao Johnson, how could he tolerate it?
"Fuck! That guy Joe Johnson has such a big contract? I averaged 10 points more than him."
Joe Johnson averaged 17.1 points, 5.1 rebounds, 3.5 assists and 1 steal this season, with a three-point shooting percentage of up to 47.8%. The Suns have Nash, and Sir attracts defense, and it is easy to get opportunities on the outside, which is a significant premium.
Hughes said calmly: "Because he has excellent footsteps, good passing awareness, 2o1cm in height, the Suns' scoring points are too scattered, if he goes to a team that lacks scorers, he may explode. And he has Bird's right."
"I'll continue to wait for the maximum salary."
Wang Jun’s fatal point is passing the ball. The system has not drawn out the pass training. How can we practice passing well?
