Chapter 837 [Sign first and then change, wait for good news]

After the celebration party, the players were on holiday.

Pejastokjakovic announced his retirement the next day and did not want to continue fighting and was preparing to return to Europe.

Jason Williams, Bibby, Percy, and Ilgoskas are also going to retire, and they can't even beat them if they want to.

The team suddenly vacated five places, Yi Jianlian, Jerebko, and McGrady were still restricted by the libero. Summer manager Jovpetri must use his brain to think about which rookie to choose, who to sign, and gather the lineup.

The good news is that Ray Allen stated that he would execute his second-year contract. He would not get a high salary and long contract even if he jumped out of the free market. He is already 37 years old and is in a state of unstable condition.

McGrady also wants to stay. His strength is not enough. He is also a marginal player and a role player. How can other teams feel comfortable in the King? Staying is a smart choice for him. The basic salary doesn't matter, but he doesn't lack money anyway.

Vivik talks to Petri. "The goal next season is to defend the title. Whether it is trading or free signing, the team's strength cannot be reduced. Are there any suitable people in the free market?"

Although labor-management negotiations still have no results, the free agent transfer market arrives every summer as scheduled.

Yesterday, the league officially announced the 2011 free agent list, including a large number of veterans, such as Duncan, Prince, Kirilenko, etc.

Petri said slowly: "It is difficult to find a talented inside veteran. Dalemport and Reggie Evans are better. Yi Jianlian has a market and there are teams willing to poach him with high salaries. If we match and retain people, the salary will be very tight, and it will be difficult to renew the contract for other people in the future. Albert, please explain."

As an assistant manager, Albert Swann usually considers salary in addition to paying attention to basketball games and discussing player data with scouts.

"Boss, Ray Allen stays, with an annual salary of 8 million in the second year, and Wang and LeBron are 43 million. If the contract is renewed, as long as it is an annual salary of tens of millions, the four of them will exceed the salary cap of 58 million last season. In addition to Miller, it is difficult for us to sign role players, and it is difficult for us to renew Curry and Gibson in the future. If Whiteside cannot play, our center position will become weaker and weaker."

Vivik heard the seriousness of the problem: "Is there any way to solve it?"

Swan said seriously: "I talked to Wang in the regular season. He doesn't have to stay, so he can sign first and then change. I suggest changing to other teams' rookies centers and draft picks, not taking up salary space. Next year Miller will bring two potential young players. Although the inside is weak, it will be beneficial to the future. It doesn't matter if Wang and LeBron are supporting him now."

"You can only use rookies? What if you can't defend your title?" Vivik was not satisfied with this plan.

Petri smiled bitterly: "Boss, inside players have generally appreciated in recent years. Insiders like Fry have been 30 million in five years. It is difficult to find an instant combat power in the free market, so you can only try your best to operate."

Vivik asked: "What should I do with the point guard? There is only one Curry left."

"It's enough for the point guard to have Curry, there will be no big problems. I want to sign a rookie to be a substitute, and others look for veterans in the free market." Petri answered nervously.

If you look for rookies, it is risky to defend your title next season, but there are really not many good choices in the free market, so there are many swingers, and the Kings are not short of swingers.

Vivik was silent for a moment and nodded, "Report to me at any time. Albert and Wang Jun approached a little and saw what he had. If he wanted a star teammate partner, try to meet any requirements. It doesn't matter if he paid the luxury tax, the key is to win."

Swan asked: "They are going to arrange sight glasses and make movies in Los Angeles. Can I go to Los Angeles to find him? I promise not to delay work."

"Go, as long as the transaction satisfies him, you don't need to work in the office. Call Xia Baowen and Ajiali to go with you." Vivik smiled.

"Thank you, boss." Swan bowed.

When he drove out of the arena, Swan smiled happily. He used to change jobs, but after joining the King, he never wanted to change again.

This job is really good. He feels like he is just having fun and his salary is still very high. Vivik not only treats him as an employee, but also as his own person and does not treat him unfairly.

Last season, Vivik Holdings reached 80, making a lot of money. He retained the original management, but stuffed it into Swan, the fresh blood, and the two veterans of the Kings in the past, captured the hearts of Kings fans and the managers.

The team went from bottom to winning the championship in one season, and such a successful reconstruction was unique in history.

As a businessman, Vivik is undoubtedly a genius, and he takes every step of the hard and hard. He knows that he and Wang Jun are now grasshoppers on the same rope, and the most important thing is to make Wang Jun happy.

Yi Jianlian can go, his market value seems to be very large in other teams. With the premise that the King has Wang Jun, he is just icing on the cake.

Swan first contacted his girlfriend Emily Wankep, and then contacted Xia Baowen and sisters, called Wang Jun to explain the situation. In the evening, he drove to Los Angeles with the three of them and moved into Wang Jun's villa.

Ajiali also brought a sister of "Garfield", and two leopards were playing in the yard with a companion.

The next day, Swan and Wang Jun played "Live Football 10" and briefly talked about the management's plan, preparing to sign first and then exchange Yi Jianlian.

Wang Jun did not object. "Since you can't get a high salary, then trade it. I asked him. He will make decisions in the free market according to the situation. He may not choose the highest annual salary. He wants to go to a team that can be the core inside."

Yi Jianlian's agent Feigen gave him some suggestions, it's best to go to a team without big names insiders.

His situation is special. Wang Jun helped him brush data this season, but his actual level is not 1,783. He has enough power to produce data. With his Chinese identity, he may continue to sign high-paying and long-term contracts in the future.

There is no banquet that never ends. Yi Jianlian is not an indispensable member of the King. His performance on the defensive end is even a bit bad. He is not a qualified meat shield and his ability to control rebounds is not outstanding.

If the Kings' center defense is excellent, their winning rate will definitely be higher, but it is difficult to find people who can shoot and defend, so Yi Jianlian has a good cost-effectiveness.

With the same annual salary, Odom and Yi Jianlian are both free agents, so it would be better to choose him and much younger.

Swan controlled the player and scored a beautiful long shot, and asked with a smile: "There are few point guards, do you have any free agents you appreciate? We can dig him up."

Wang Jun really has someone to admire. "Baria is good. If he can dig him to the King or find a small defender similar to his style, I think the King will be stronger. I don't expect him to defend, and he can break through in the second quarter and lead a substitute to score."

Swan nodded. "I understand, but Barrea may not be able to do it. He plays well in the playoffs. There will be a team willing to give him a high salary and long appointment. Is Nate Robinson okay? The dunk king, fast speed and good scoring ability."

"That guy is too arrogant and has a bad brain. Never get him to the King." Wang Jun smiled and said, "If Barria doesn't work, just look for others, and rookies can do it. Anyway, it's similar. We have all seen the power of such a defender this year's playoffs."

In the first round, Tylawson and Baria in the second round, when James broke through, Wang Jun was in trouble and it was difficult to prevent it.

Swan smiled: "Wait for good news."

To be continued.
