Chapter 337 Not Promising Contract Renewal

Shouba is thinking, if he can partner with Klay Thompson in the Timberwolves, then he is basically sure that he will renew his contract with the team.Otherwise, if the team renews Love with a maximum salary, does not strengthen other positions, and does not introduce enough 3D players, then he is likely to jump out of the contract next summer and become a completely free agent.

This season is almost a bloody lesson. The team's offense has no problems, but they can only rank 8th, and they were swept by Gentleman without any resistance in the first round.

"Defense wins championships!" is an old saying.No team with the worst defense in the league can win a championship. Under the playoffs, a poor defensive player is really committing a crime.

Love is different from Kevin Martin, the latter is just an ordinary rotation player after all, a role player, and you Foo is going to sign a max salary, the player with the max salary is so poor in defense, and the offense is not stable, it is also the only one up.

Shou Ye has been paying attention to the progress of the transaction between the Timberwolves and the Warriors. According to relevant sources, the transaction negotiations went smoothly, and both parties are very confident in the transaction.

Shou Ye is also very confident!He is very happy!Clay, come to the bowl!

If Clay comes and a 3D small forward, then the team's perimeter defense will have to be improved by more than one level, then he won't have to expend a lot of energy to wipe the buttocks of the perimeter players, and he can use more energy. On the offensive end.

The beautiful blueprint has been simulated in my mind, and everything is waiting for the transaction to be successful.

But reality will always give you a fatal blow. Shou Ye was training in China. After getting up on the second day, he checked the news as usual, but the news he saw made him feel bad...

The Warriors rejected the deal about Love and Clay!

What?Shou Ye didn't understand why the Warriors refused, Love is such a good All-Star power forward, the inside line of the best team of the year, you are too ignorant!

Shou Ye would like to know why the Warriors refused. Could it be that Love's defense is too poor?

According to an article written by Sports Illustrated reporter Chris Ballard, NBA star Jerry West, who is now a consultant to the Warriors, strongly opposes using Thompson to trade Love. He threatened to resign.He thinks sending Klay Thompson away was a huge mistake.The Warriors should build their team on defense, and although Love has a variety of offensive skills, he is not an excellent defender.

More importantly, West is pretty sure that Klay will continue to improve and become a Hall of Fame backcourt player within the next decade.

Fuck you, Logo man!

Shou Ye is helpless, maybe it’s okay to fool others, but the guy in Logo can’t fool him, he’s too thieves, his vision is too unique, he has already seen that Love’s defense will become a huge hidden danger in the future, and he has also seen Clay huge potential.

It's over, Barbie Q is over, it's over...

After the trade between the Timberwolves and the Warriors fell through, Love, who was put on the shelves, was almost to the point where no one cared about it.

There are teams that want to prostitute for nothing, but it is impossible for the Timberwolves to give Love away for nothing.

Many teams in the league are now inquiring about Shou Ye, but the Timberwolves have not yet put him on the shelf.

Shou Ye remembers that Love ended up going to the Cavaliers in his previous life, and the Timberwolves traded for the double champion + 76ers Thaddeus Young. If this deal can be achieved, he thinks that the Timberwolves are not bad.

Then next season the team can have a starting lineup of Beast + Thaddeus Young + Wiggins + Kevin Martin + Rubio, and the team's defensive strength will be much better than last season.

Of course, such a lineup cannot compete for the championship, but this depends on the growth of the players themselves.The team still has room to operate, it can pack Kevin Martin and others + draft picks and then trade a star player.

Although regretting that he didn't get Clay, Shou Ye felt that if the development trajectory of the previous life was followed, it would be good if the knight was the one who was taken advantage of.

Thaddeus Young's strength is very clear to Shou Ye. The two have partnered in the 76ers, and that can be regarded as a perfect complement to each other.

Now it depends on how the transaction goes, and Shou Ye can't decide, he still focuses on training.

When the time came to late July, Shou Ye met with his agent Zhang Mingji in Beijing.

Zhang Mingji recommended an agent to Shouye.

"Mr. Shou, this is Yu Jun, an MBA. He has many years of experience as a professional agent. He is still your fan. I hope he can help you in the future!" Zhang Mingji introduced Yu Jun to Shou Ye.

Yu Jun is small in stature, but with bright eyes, he looks shrewd and capable.

Shou Ye lacks his own team right now, and he needs professional talents very much, so he recruits good talents for his business empire, so naturally he will not refuse.

Zhang Mingji also said: "President Ma from Alibaba and President Zong from Wahaha would like to invite you to meet and discuss cooperation."

Shou Ye was happy when he heard it, did Jack Ma finally come?

Money is the easiest thing in this world to get, really?

Shou Ye immediately became busy. Not only Jack Ma and Wahaha wanted to contact him, but also Yili Dairy and Anta Sports wanted to discuss cooperation with him.

As the only Chinese player currently in the NBA and a star, he is naturally favored by many domestic businesses.Everyone transferred a lot of support for Yao Ming to Shou Ye.

This is of course a good thing, who would dislike this?

On the American side, the Cavaliers did inquire about Love, but they were unwilling to offer Wolfberry Wiggins. They were only willing to offer Tristan Thompson and parallel importer Bennett.

The Timberwolves naturally refused. TT didn't have superstar potential at first glance, he was just a blue-collar worker, and Bennett was already abolished, so it's hard to have a cure. Who can replace these two people?It's better to keep Love in the team!

Shou Ye thinks that the Cavaliers are not fools. What kind of performance did you Love in the playoffs?Such a strong offensive and defensive player, do you still want to exchange a lot of chips?

Seeing the news, Shou Ye thought it was over, and it seemed that Love could not make a deal, so the Timberwolves could only keep it for themselves.

But if you don't trade Love, and don't bring in 3D players, it means you have to do it again with those guys from last season...

Shou Ye felt sick just thinking about it!I am going to be both a father and a mother again, the key is that Kevin Martin is one year older...

Agent Bill Duffy called and told Shou Ye that the Timberwolves wanted to get his promise to renew his contract in advance, and promised to build a team with him and Love as the core to compete for the championship.

Shou Ye is speechless, the space is locked, and you don't trade, what will you use to compete for the championship?

Shou Ye's attitude is also very clear: If the status quo is maintained, he will not promise to renew the team's contract!
