Travel back to be a superstar

Chapter 217 Bath, Johnson, Jiang Dashan

Chapter 217 Bath, Johnson, Jiang Dashan

The pleasant trip to Cleveland ended, and Jiang Dashan flew back to Los Angeles by plane alone.

In the United States, although they are still fanatical about celebrities, it is unlikely that they will be chased and intercepted.That's why Jiang Dashan chose to stay in Cleveland overnight.However, the domestic siege and interception incidents are also limited to the stars who are extremely powerful.If you put it on other stars, you won't be able to ask for it.

As soon as he returned to his home in Los Angeles, Jiang Dashan suddenly found that his door was blocked by a huge black giant.

"My God, why are you here, Shaq." Jiang Dashan signaled O'Neill to get out of the way, "Get out of the way, or I won't be able to go to open the door."

"Okay. J!" O'Neal followed Jiang Dashan into the living room.

"Tell me, what's the matter? Is there another endorsement?" Jiang Dashan poured a glass of juice for himself and O'Neill, and then came to the sofa.

"I understand that Jim Buss and Magic Johnson are looking for you. I think you should have received the message." O'Neal talked about this topic, but suddenly, it seemed a little sad.

"What's wrong? Does this also remind you of the sad past?" Jiang Dashan was curious, "Shouldn't this be expected."

"Hey, it's just that I remembered the bad relationship between Kobe and Bryant. Although we have reconciled now. However, recalling that the Lakers traded me directly,,, hey,,, that's very sad."

"So you think the Lakers are looking for me, maybe they just want to ask me, my suggestion for the future of the team?" Jiang Dashan asked.

"That's right, J, I think you've become the core of the Lakers fleet now. Hehe, it's ironic. Last year, the Cavaliers drove you away like a dog, but now, they don't hesitate to put water on the court to win your favor. Once you enter the trading market next year, I think any team will be willing to offer you a maximum salary contract. But I want to clarify a question now. What are you pursuing? I have to understand this, and then help you do the next operation." Cup, reaching for Jiang Dashan.

Jiang Dashan filled O'Neal's bill and replied domineeringly, "My career is born 6 years less than others, or even 10 years. I already have money and fame, so let's get a dozen championship trophies first!"

. . . . . .

In the afternoon, Jiang Dashan came to the Lakers Operations Manager's Office.

Waiting for him are Jim Buss and Magic Johnson.

As soon as he entered the door, Johnson enthusiastically came up to hold Jiang Dashan's hand, and greeted him cordially, "Look who is here, our great J. How is it? How is your vacation in Cleveland?"

As soon as Jiang Dashan heard it, he realized that this was testing his feelings for the Cavaliers. Without thinking, Dashan replied, "Cleveland is like an old friend, kind and warm, but we only get together when we drink afternoon tea."

Bass on the side was a little impatient, "J, I have met many young people, but they are not all as calm as you. If I have seen another, then his name is Yao Ming. Maybe only you Chinese have such a calm temperament. Yes, let me ask you directly, we are willing to give you a five-year maximum salary contract, 1.53 million US dollars, and at the same time, after 4 years, we will give you the right to veto the deal! This is the greatest sincerity I can give! I hope you can accept it."

"It's a great honor, sir. I have changed from a homeless wild cat to a hot superstar, thanks to the team!" Jiang Dashan replied politely.

"No, no, no, no matter where you go, you are the most dazzling one. We just picked up a leak. So now we are trying to make up for it. I want to say that we hope to use money to make up for our relationship. Maybe our relationship is not as good as the outside world says." Johnson quickly answered, "J, tell me, what else do you need besides money and a stage. We can do everything possible to satisfy you."

"At noon today, my agent, Mr. O'Neal, also asked me the same question. I told him that I don't lack money and fame. What I want may be just a dozen championship trophies. But obviously, at present, the current status of the Lakers can't reach this height." Jiang Dashan thought to himself, it seems that the Lakers are determined to keep him.

"We also know that the current team configuration is completely impossible to reach a higher position. At the same time, the performance of some players on the team has not met our expectations. I can tell you clearly that we will make big moves next summer, but I hope that you can now help the Lakers to make it to the playoffs. Next summer, if you have any ideas, be sure to let us know as soon as possible." Johnson added, "Finally, J, what kind of team configuration do you like."

"What do you think? For example, who do you want to recruit. At least I know what I mean to the Lakers!" Jiang Dashan was also straightforward.

Bass and Johnson glanced at each other, not knowing the bottom line, "we won't keep too many players with around 2000 million; also, you should know that we traded Russell this summer. The Lakers, except you, can trade anyone, including Lonzo. We also hope that the Lakers can rise as soon as possible, but who we can recruit depends on next year. Well, I think I have said enough." Johnson finished, looking at Jiang Dashan.

Jiang Dashan nodded and said goodbye.

Going out, Jiang Dashan clenched his fists, and finally, from a tasteless rib to the current cornerstone, knowing this, Jiang Dashan was relieved.And when thinking about the recruitment, Dashan always consciously or unintentionally see Howard's face with a funny smile, maybe it's a sympathy for each other, they all drove high and low, and then climbed to the top again.Howard is in the Hornets this year, which can be regarded as his second spring, and his dominance is still there.

The Cavaliers definitely can't go, even if he does, maybe he will leave after winning the championship like Irving; besides, Jiang Dashan is already the team's first brother, there is no need to go to the Cavaliers to be a younger brother.

At the same time, Jiang Dashan also has some regrets, maybe next season, Lopez, Luol Deng, Pope, Randall, even Ingram, etc.All friends may become their enemies.Without time to be sad, Jiang Dashan left the building of the Lakers Operations Department and got into O'Neill's car.

"How is it?" O'Neill wore sunglasses and grinned pretendingly.

"Rebuild, cornerstone, spend money." Jiang Dashan lazily spit out three words, then leaned on the back of the car, closed his eyes and meditated.

"Awesome!" O'Neill gave a thumbs up, "Do you have anyone to choose?"

"The biggest enemies in the West are the Warriors, the Rockets, and the Spurs. Although the Thunder are strong, they can't stand the bench and can't handle the wheel. Let's find a strong center first. Lopez has shooting, but the defense is not good; Bogut is qualified as a substitute."

"Embiid is good, but unfortunately he has signed a contract of 1.5 million; Grizzlies Marc Gasol has a chance to dig; Jordan is unlikely; the possibility of Anthony Davis and Cousins ​​is a little bit, if this year's Pelicans still can't do it. Besides, Howard? Although I don't like that soft guy, but I have to say that he has changed a lot this year. In previous years, he regarded himself as the man who changed James alone. Ball." O'Neill chatted while driving, "Where are the other candidates?"

"There will be more big fish next year. There are all kinds of positions. But I think the Lakers will no longer make a fuss about guards. The one that can make fuss is the front line. Indeed, the problem now is that the Lakers front line headed by Ingram and Randall can't provide us with much help. I can think of almost Paul George. Kuzma also needs experience, and his state is still good. But he has the same problem as Ingram, too thin." Jiang Dashan continued.

"What about James?" O'Neill suddenly mentioned James' name.

"I don't know the specific situation of the Cavaliers. However, the Cavaliers are likely to be rebuilt next year. If possible, I am very unwilling to be his enemy. The last game let me see his horror. If you use the 2K NBA game, his ability is 99, the highest in the league; then I am just a self-created character with a modifier!"

"This metaphor is very interesting!" O'Neill whistled, "I will convey your meaning in a commercial way. Just wait!"

Maybe, only I understand the meaning of what I just said.Jiang Dashan shook his head helplessly, and then re-entered into meditation.
