NBA: The Talent Burst from the Start

"why!"

Hearing Lin Lei's reply, the general manager Alderman and the boss Gilbert's heart thumped at the same time, and their expressions were also a little flustered.

"Is it because the market in Cleveland is not big enough? But we have James in Cleveland, and it also attracts a lot of attention, which may not be bad for you.

If one day James is older, you are the core and the future of this team. "

Regarding the promise of the boss and the general manager, Lin Lei smiled and shook his head and explained: "I am very clear about the two of you, and thank you for your attention to me.

But my relatives are all in Los Angeles. They are used to staying there and won't move easily. We Chinese people are family-oriented.

So I might go back to LA to play if I have the chance.

But don't worry, during the period of my rookie contract, I will definitely do my best to help the team where I am. This is my professional ethics as a player. "

After saying this, Lin Lei got up with a smile and left the luxurious private room.

Chinese men are indeed like this, relatively speaking, they will focus on family.

Especially my mother and uncle, who are also very helpful to Lin Lei.

They're all used to being in Los Angeles, and that's a factor Lin Lei has to consider.

But for this reason, the owner and general manager of the Cavaliers also looked at each other, and they didn't understand Lin Lei's mentality.

After listening to Lin Lei's explanation, the two of them were a little unacceptable for a while.

After three minutes, the general manager Altman said:

"Boss, the current situation is probably a bit tricky, we have to prepare with both hands!"

"What do you mean by that?"

Although an ominous premonition flashed in his heart, Gilbert still wanted to hear Altman's analysis.

As the general manager of the team, Altman naturally knows the current situation of this team very well, so his words are good for the whole team.

"In our current market, it's possible to take James' max contract.

But with the current status of the team, if you want to win the championship, you must introduce new players, but we have far exceeded the luxury tax.

Moreover, in the first two years for James to win the championship, the team sacrificed almost all opportunities to strengthen, including draft rights.

This year's first-round pick can even be said to be our biggest pick in the next five years.

If we passively wait for James to renew his contract, once he fails to fulfill his promise, the entire Cavaliers will face a situation where there are no young players and the salary is locked.

Not only did he fail to achieve a record, but he also let himself waste a huge luxury tax in vain.

So I think the top priority is to get James to re-sign first, and secondly, consider whether to trade Lin Lei.

Once James doesn't express his willingness to renew, we might as well trade Lin Lei out in exchange for favorable terms..."

At the end of the sentence, Altman's tone was indescribably deep.

This statement is too crazy to think about, even the owner of the Cavaliers feels a little incredible after hearing it.

After all, Cleveland is James' hometown. If he leaves suddenly, the effect will be self-evident.

Emotionally, Gilbert wanted to keep James.

But the league is a business, and whether James will stay or not depends on him.

In the end, reason prevailed over emotion, Gilbert nodded, and Yoyo said, "If that's the case, then you should go to James to discuss it.

Must be fast, must confirm James' idea before the draft begins! "

. . . . . .

James, who just completed the sneaker signing, was in a good mood for a while.

In addition to today's signing, one of the topics that the reporters were most concerned about was his future stay.

Although before this, most of the media believed that James would stay with the Cavaliers without reservation, but no one dared to say anything until he signed a contract.

"James, I don't know how far you have signed the contract extension with the team. Are there other teams in the league that have offered you a higher price?"

Whenever he hears these questions from the media, James answers tactfully, but never gives the final answer.

The reason why he is detouring is also because James is a little confused about his next move.

He didn't get along well with some of his teammates, and there were even rumors that his teammates were attached to their family members, which made James extremely uncomfortable.

In particular, there are some conflicts with the management, which are all real.

More importantly, James is also suffering at the moment. In the past seven years with the Cavaliers, except for one finals, he has basically done nothing.

And in the past two years, with the rise of the Celtics' Big Three, they have fallen at the feet of the Celtics for two seasons.

Judging from the current situation, as long as the Celtics remain healthy, it is difficult for James to defeat the Big Three with his own strength.

In this case, James is also looking for changes. He hopes that the Cavaliers can strengthen without rejecting outside invitations.

Especially after watching the game yesterday, Wade, who was accompanying him, sent a message: "If you and I join forces, the entire league is ours!"*
