Chapter 1033 From Dynasty to Reconstruction
Suddenly, the NBA circle exploded.The reading volume of this piece of news far exceeds that of the one when the Thunder won the championship, it is simply unbelievable.
Xie Kai's popularity is evident!
As soon as this news came out, Heizi Hei Xie Kai was a businessman, and after using the Thunder to complete his second 2 consecutive championships, he was about to leave to play a business empire in a big city.
But then, as soon as the news that the Thunder boss wanted Xie Kai to cut his salary because he didn't want to pay the luxury tax came out, the sunspots collectively shut up.
Many people complained about Xie Kai, the No. 1 in the league was treated like this, is this difficulty the attitude towards the hero who won the championship?
Those teams that were interested in Xie Kai before didn't have time to care about whether the Thunder boss is cold-blooded or not. They are actively recruiting Xie Kai and are ready to make room for signings at any time.
Xie Kai didn't plan where he was going, so many teams felt they had a chance.
The most exciting one is the Lakers, because now they have restarted the trade negotiations on Big Eyebrow, they can take all the young people of the team to stud, get him, and then there is still a maximum salary space, waiting for the third giant 's arrival
Obviously, Xie Kai is very suitable to become the third giant of the Lakers, because his style of play is seamlessly connected with James and thick eyebrows.And other big fish, like Durant who was reimbursed for the season, and his facial paralysis position overlaps with James, and others like Owen Kemba Walker and his ilk, are far behind Xie Kai in strength.
The Lakers are a big city team and the top giants in the NBA. If you want it, you need the best.And Xie Kai grew up in Los Angeles, he is considered half a native of Los Angeles, the Lakers can play the family card, it seems that he is destined to go to the Lakers.
Of course, apart from the Lakers, many teams are expected to become Xie Kai's next home.The Lakers' rivals in the same city, the Clippers, are also actively recruiting Xie Kai. "Logo Man" Jerry West was the first to contact Xie Kai's agent, hoping to get a meeting with him.
In addition to the Los Angeles duo, Dallas Mavericks, Brooklyn Nets, Miami Heat... too many teams want to be thanked.Even those rebuilding teams are recruiting Xie Kai, because as long as they get Xie Kai, there will be no other big-name free agents coming to join them.And they have chips in their hands, they can trade to get the second giant, or even the third giant.In this case, the reconstruction will be completed in an instant, and the championship window can be opened immediately to compete for the championship.
Xie Kai's entry into the free agent market has made the already lively free agent market even more unpredictable. Everyone is waiting for his decision.
The free agent market is changing, and Xie Kai is partying with Westbrook and Pickle in Los Angeles.At the end of the party, he said to the two partners: "I'm leaving, you all work hard next season, and go for 4 consecutive championships!"
Westbrook shook his head and said: "Clay (the owner of the Thunder) is planning to rebuild, I don't think it's interesting for us to keep it!"
Pickle nodded.
Xie Kai was a little puzzled, but soon understood.With the current Thunder lineup, even if he doesn't renew his contract, this team doesn't have any salary space to sign in. Relying on the veteran's basic salary and some exceptions, it can't achieve real reinforcement unless a trade is made.And the team's real trading chips are very limited. Defensive players like Duck Robertson have limited trading value in the market.They're great pieces on a championship team, but they're useless on a rebuilding team.
Moreover, the contracts of Robertson and others are not small, and some teams don't want to give them away for free, and the Thunder refuses to exchange garbage contracts.
Westbrook and Paojiao are actually very clear that without Xie Kai, it is basically impossible to rely on them to complete 4 consecutive championships.No one understands Xie Kai's strength better than them, and what Xie Kai means to this team.
In fact, when Thunder boss Clay Bennett announced that he was unwilling to pay a high luxury tax for the team's championship, he basically declared that the team had lost the opportunity to hit the 4 consecutive championships.
"Have you all decided?" Xie Kai asked.
Both Westbrook and Pickle nodded.
Westbrook said: "I have already talked to Sam (Thunder General Manager Presti). They mean that they want to rebuild. If we want, he can guarantee that he will not trade us and rebuild while playing. If we want to go , they’ll let us go where we want to go.”
Xie Kai smiled wryly: "It's kind of sympathetic to say that!"
Paojiao said: "After all, the NBA is a business. If Clay is unwilling to spend money, it is basically impossible for us to win four consecutive championships. He let us choose the next player for the trade, which should be regarded as compensation for us."
Xie Kai nodded and fell into deep thought.Indeed, if I don't renew my contract, the Thunder will have no hope of winning consecutive championships. It may not be the goal of this Thunder team to keep Pickle and Westbrook to hit the second round of the playoffs.Rather than doing this, it would be a good idea to start from scratch and completely enter the reconstruction.
Both Westbrook and Paojiao have a good trade value now, especially Paojiao, who is younger and a striker with both offense and defense. He entered the double team last season, and the transaction value is at its peak, which can bring rich returns to the home team.
Unexpectedly, it would be like this. Xie Kai never imagined that in less than a month, this dynastic team that had just won three consecutive championships would fall apart in a blink of an eye.
It is a little ironic that the disintegration of this team is not because everyone is not in harmony, but because the boss is unwilling to spend money. It is indeed strange, but it is also helpless.
Xie Kai laughed suddenly, and he said to Westbrook and Paojiao: "When I retire, I want to buy an NBA team for fun!"
Although it's a bit of a joke, Westbrook and Paojiao are very clear that with Xie Kai's capital, it is not impossible to buy an NBA team in the future.
Isn't Jordan also the boss?Xie Kai's current market value is No. 1 in the global basketball world.
Xie Kai doesn't intend to make a decision so quickly, but he won't wait until late July or even early August to make a decision. He doesn't want to attract hatred. In fact, he already has a general direction in his heart. He just needs to look at the target team. Your sincerity and future plans will do.
Shortly after Xie Kai became a free agent, Westbrook and Paojiao also submitted trade applications, and the Thunder happily agreed and informed other NBA teams that the two stars were "tradeable."
This caused a huge commotion. No one expected that the Thunder would be so determined to rebuild that they would abandon the Big Three and start over.
Some experts authoritatively answered that it is understandable for the Thunder to do so. Since they decided to rebuild, they should be more thorough. This is more appropriate. Also affects its own reconstruction.
