NBA beast center

Chapter 432

What moved Shou Ye was not the regular season MVP, because he knew that even if James wanted to give it to him, he didn't just give it up because he wanted to, because more competitors for this award came from other teams.But the position of the core of offense and defense is what he is looking forward to.In the Timberwolves before, he was also the core of offense and defense, but it was a mid-range team. Apart from him, the team couldn't produce other better players.

But the Cavaliers are not. The 4th regular season MVP's thigh James is also there, and the offensive kaleidoscope No. [-] pick Irving is also there, and he is also the defending champion. The meaning of being the core of offense and defense in such a team is different.

Compared with the so-called boss of the team, the position of the offensive and defensive core in the team is more meaningful, because this is the real possession and status of the ball.

James is a smart man, and he believes that Shou Ye is also a smart man.Dialogue between smart people does not require too many detours, they will make their own choices.

"Let me think about it carefully, and I will give you an answer as soon as possible." Shou Ye said.

James smiled and said: "There is no rush, I am looking forward to our continued cooperation. By the way, Kyrie has undergone surgery and will be absent for a long time next season. If you have a suitable defender, you can also recommend it to David."

When Shou Ye heard it, good guy, James has delegated all the team's personnel rights to him. This trick is really amazing.

Shou Ye knew that the Cavaliers listened to James from the general manager to the coach.In the NBA, the power of superstars can be seen.

He asked himself that he has not yet reached the influence and power of James, so he needs to make himself stronger, he needs MVP, he needs championships, and he needs more honors.

Only if you have such a status in the arena, you will also have such power!

After finishing meeting with James, Shou Ye returned to the hotel.

Shou Ye discussed with Concubine Han and finally decided to renew the contract with the Cavaliers!

On the second day, Shou Ye told James that he would renew his contract!

On the same day, Yahoo Sports' famous Woj broke the heavy news: All-star center Shou Ye will renew his contract with the Cavaliers!The details of the contract renewal have not yet been disclosed!

This news is heavy. Although James' next home has not been announced, but because there is no suspense, Shou Ye's whereabouts is the most interesting thing this offseason.

Shou Ye's whereabouts have been determined, so many NBA teams have started their own operations.The same is true for the Cavaliers. They have begun contract renewal negotiations with several free agents in the team.

On July 7, the Cavaliers extended the contract with the team's starting shooting guard Iman Shumpert.This is a four-year, $3 million contract with a player option for the final year.

Although Shumpert's 3-pointers are not stable and he can't defend against strong wings, he can defend against the speedy No. 1 position and is an expert in the league's defense of the two positions in the backcourt.

He has many flaws, such as lack of organizational skills as a defender, and his offensive ability with the ball is also lackluster.It is also relatively brittle. It is obvious that the physical fitness has burst, but it often needs a truce to recuperate.But the Cavaliers really can't find a better replacement than him at present.

With the Cavaliers confirming Shou Ye’s contract extension, the contracts of the Big Three + Varejao + Dellavedova and others have exceeded the cap next season. If they do not renew the contracts of Shumpert and others, there will not be enough salary space to introduce players of the same level.Either the basic salary, but there is a high probability that the immediate combat power in the prime of life will not be willing to accept the basic salary.

So there is no way for these players to pay a slight premium.

Shou Ye returned to San Francisco after finishing the commercial shooting in Los Angeles. Concubine Han has graduated from college and is currently practicing in a public hospital in San Francisco.

At a Chinese restaurant in San Francisco's Chinatown, Shou Ye invited Jeremy Lin to dinner.

Jeremy Lin is now a completely free agent, and this season with the Lakers has made his market value very, very low.You must know that after playing "Linsanity" in New York that year, he and Mosaic signed a three-year contract worth 3 million US dollars.

But currently in the free agent market, his market is not optimistic.

His agent, Jim Tanner, told him that there are many teams willing to offer him a contract, but firstly, there is no long-term contract, and secondly, the average salary of the contract is very low.

From an annual salary of more than 800 million US dollars to the current market price of less than 500 million US dollars, Jeremy Lin only took 3 seasons.

But in fact Jeremy Lin is only 27 years old, he has not experienced serious injuries, and he is at his peak.He is stronger than he was in the Mosaics and the New York Knicks.At that time, his left-handed offense was not good, his jump shot was not good, his off-ball was not good, and he made many turnovers.

Now he can attack with his left hand without the ball, his jump shot has become more stable, and he has become stronger, but there is no market.

Many teams are still willing to sign him, but the contract for him is small, and the status of the team is mostly the third point guard, and they can't even get a sixth man.

Jeremy Lin was very depressed, and Shou Ye saw from his face that he was not in a good condition.

"I have never understood why I was given up by Houston!" Jeremy Lin is still worried about Mosaic choosing Beverly instead of him.

Shou Ye enlightened him: "It's not that you are inferior to Patrick Beverly, but that James Harden prefers to partner with him. Mogou traded you in order to please Harden. Your last year was 1500 million. The owner of the team is so stingy, as an expiring contract, your transaction value is still very high."

Jeremy Lin's explanation from Shou Ye was very comfortable to hear, and it was indeed true.

"What are your plans next? What kind of team do you want to go to?" Shou Ye asked.

Jeremy Lin thought for a while and said: "I actually don't care about the amount of the contract. To be honest, I can't get a satisfactory contract now. I want to sign a short contract, and then the team can guarantee my playing time."

"Don't you care about the basic salary?"

Jeremy Lin nodded.

Shou Ye suddenly smiled, and said: "Jeremy, why don't we join forces! You come to the Cavaliers. Irving will have a long truce next season. The team just lacks a point guard. With your strength, you will definitely be able to get a lot of opportunities!"

Jeremy Lin's eyes lit up. Indeed, the Cavaliers are a good choice.Although this is a championship team, the starting point guard position for this team is vacant when Irving has been injured for many games!

Even if he can't play the starter, it is still very possible to play the 6th or 7th man.With Shou Ye in the Cavaliers, the coaching staff would not dare to suppress him like he did in the Lakers.

He believes in his own strength, he has the strength to start, but he lacks a chance to prove himself!

After getting Jeremy Lin's consent, Shou Ye recommended Jeremy Lin to Cavaliers general manager David Griffin.

What kind of bicycle do you need if you can get a player like Jeremy Lin who averages more than ten points per game and is in his prime with a basic salary?Not to mention that this is the position where the team needs reinforcement the most.
