Chapter 1010 Carrying out the All-Stars to the end
After choosing the head coach, the team continued to work. The team provided Jarrett Jack with a four-year contract of 400 million yuan, which averaged over 300 million yuan a year, to prevent Jarrett Jack from becoming a complete Free agent, but Earl Watson has become a completely free agent, and Earl Watson is also letting his agent actively practice with other teams, trying to find a team that can meet his salary while giving him Provide the opportunity to start.
Earl Watson knows that at his own age, it is difficult to get a contract above the middle class, but the salary of the contract can be lowered, but the number of years is longer. He is already 30 years old. If he can sign this contract for five years If it is two years, it is basically his pension contract. Although the Sonics can offer him a six-year contract, he feels that there is no possibility at all. A five-year contract will not be given to him, so he He intends to test the waters in the free market by using the name of the championship's main point guard.
Not only him, but Jalynte Jack also tends to look for better opportunities, but he is a restricted free agent, which is not so convenient. For players like them who are still in their prime, winning the championship Although it is worth being happy, it is not worth sacrificing their own income for the championship. They are not the kind of players who are looking for a championship at the end of their careers. What they want is more playing time and more performance opportunities. Longer contracts, this is their highest goal.
However, since Earl Watson is more inclined to leave, Jarrett Jack has the capital to bargain with the team, so he is not too anxious. If Earl Watson leaves, he can stay, even if he does not The starting position, but also has more opportunities to play, and the team will pay more attention to themselves.
But at this time the Portland Trail Blazers came to their door. After watching Jarrett's performance for a season, they finally regretted it a bit. If the offer contract is made, the Sonics will match the contract, because the offer contract cannot be withdrawn because they want to sign first and then change, so they approached the Sonics and wanted to take Jarrett Jack away. [
This is to sign first and then change. The Sonics first signed a contract with Jarrett Jack. This contract was actually provided by the Trail Blazers, and then used to trade with the Portland Trail Blazers. It is different from ordinary transactions. Yes, sign-and-trade players cannot add other bargaining chips, that is to say, the Sonics can only use Jarrett Jack to trade with the Trail Blazers. .
But the chips of the Portland Trail Blazers are not satisfactory, because they do not have the players that the Sonics want in their team. They are willing to pay next year's first-round picks and some cash, but these must be attached Depending on the player, they are willing to take out Rudy Fernandez or Jerry Bayless, but these two players are a bit invisible to the Sonics. Rudy Fernandez is very talented on the offensive end, but too poor on the defensive end, and Jerry Bayless is a good player, but his combo guard style has obvious repetitions with Russell Westbrook.
This matter was immediately deadlocked here, but at this time, there was news that Earl Watson might reach an agreement with the Milwaukee Bucks, so that the Sonics could no longer let Jarrett Jack go. , because two of them must leave one.
But at this time, Jarrett Jack already wanted to leave, because the Portland Trail Blazers only had an old Steve Blake at the point guard position. If he went there, he would have more opportunities, and in After so many years in Portland, he is used to it. The most important thing is that the Portland Trail Blazers are a generous team, while the Sonics obviously look a bit stingy.
Logically speaking, it is impossible for the team to go against the wishes of the players, but since the Portland Trail Blazers do not have a suitable bargaining chip, it is impossible for the Sonics to trade Jarrett Jack for nothing. The backstage boss has a certain relationship. In the end, the Supersonics finally agreed to the other party's trading plan. Using the method of signing first and then trading, the Supersonics gave Jarrett Jack a four-year contract of 700 million yuan, and then Traded to the Portland Trail Blazers for Travis Outlaw and a top-five first-round pick next year and $50 in cash.
After sending away Jarrett Jack, the Sonics turned back to pursue Earl Watson. Earl Watson, who had already reached an agreement with the Milwaukee Bucks, heard the news that the team had sent Jarrett Jack. After that, he suddenly thought of coming back. After all, he was quite happy staying with this team. Although Seattle is also in the north, compared with the ice and snow of Milwaukee, the climate here is still pleasant. The most important thing is the Milwaukee Bucks. The longest over there only agrees to a four-year contract, and only $100 million is guaranteed in the fourth year.
Earl Watson went back to continue negotiating with the team. The Sonics also only agreed to give him a four-year contract at the longest, and the team had options for the third year, which was actually a three-year contract. One year is not guaranteed. For a player like him, few teams are willing to give a role player a multi-year contract. Most teams are like this. Although the Sonics only have a three-year contract, But it's okay.
400 million in four years, and there is no guarantee in the last year. In fact, it is a three-year contract of 1000 million US dollars. Earl Watson can barely accept it. After three years, his age is still not too old. As long as he persists in training, he will work hard. Performance, at that time will naturally sign a contract. For the Sonics, keeping Earl Watson can keep the team stable. At the same time, he and Russell Westbrook can complement each other in style.
In this way, it means that the team left Coupard with a contract of 800 million, Earl Watson with a contract of 300 million, let go of Channing Frye, traded Jarrett Jack, and came to Tracy. Weiss Outlaw, two left and one came, reducing the thickness of the team's lineup.
In this way, the team has Stephen, Yao Ming, Kevin Durant, Russell Westbrook, Serge Ibaka, Kurt Thomas, Coupard, Travis Outlaw, Earl Wo The eleven players of Tetson, Du Fei, and Nick Collinson have basically met the needs of the team, and there is still a Damien Wilkins in the original main lineup who needs to renew his contract.
It is enough to have Russell Westbrook and Earl Watson at the point guard. Jeff Van Gundy does not like to play double point guards, and now the team has Stephen, Kevin Durant, Dufy, and Travis Outlaw are four players, but Dufy can only put a three-pointer outside. Travis Outlaw and Kevin Durant can only Play small forward, so the team needs to keep Damian Wilkins.
The rookie Omega Casspi, who was selected at the same time, is also such a player, so the team really has a surplus in the small forward position, and they are all tall players. In this way, Damien must be kept. Wilkins again.
But at this time, the troublesome Houston Rockets came again and directly provided Damien Wilkins with a five-year contract of 2000 million, and took Damien Wilkins away, although the five-year contract was only the top three. There is a full guarantee in [-], but for Damien Wilkins, this is already an extremely high contract. The Sonics will never offer him such a contract, so he immediately accepted it.
As a result, the team is a bit weak in the position of shooting guard. Although Stephen's physical strength and body rarely have problems, he can't be allowed to play the whole game all the time. The team still needs to strengthen in this position. , At this time Presti thought about Allen Iverson again.
But at this time, the media suddenly revealed the news that the Supersonics had contacted Iverson, which immediately caused a sensation in the entire league. Although the Supersonics did not come forward to admit it, they did not deny it either. Allen Iverson was preparing to join the Supersonics for the championship ring, but he didn't know that it was actually not just Allen Iverson alone.
"I'm Grant Hill's agent. I want to know if the Sonics have a position for my client?" "I'm Stephen Marbury. I want to ask if our team needs a player like me?" Two consecutive phone calls nearly confused Presti. When did the Sonics become so popular? Both of them are All-Stars, although they are not the current All-Stars.
Earl Watson knows that at his own age, it is difficult to get a contract above the middle class, but the salary of the contract can be lowered, but the number of years is longer. He is already 30 years old. If he can sign this contract for five years If it is two years, it is basically his pension contract.
