Chapter 957 Invite in person, take the initiative to cut salary! (First update!)
"Believe me, Dwyane. This is the most sincere offer we have received so far." Miami, Wade's home, Wade's agent Henry said to him.
Wade, who was sitting opposite Henry, sighed helplessly.
There are not many big fish in the free market this summer, so after knowing the answer given by the Heat, Wade asked his agent to help him find a next home.
Originally, in the eyes of Wade and his agent, although Wade was at that age, at least, at least there would be some relatively good offers.
However, the idea is good, but the reality is cruel.
In Lin Yi's previous life, Wade chose to join the Bulls in the 16/17 season. In fact, a big reason was that Wade received far less offers than he imagined.
Because, the NBA is a business league.
Wade, who is about to turn 34 years old, not many teams are willing to offer him a long-term contract.
Whether Wade's current strength is [-]% or [-]% of his peak period, these are not important anymore.
What is important is that when these teams introduce Wade, they need to consider the flexibility of the salary space, the help to the team, and whether it is cost-effective.
Wade isn't in the plans for teams that need to suck, and they aren't in Wade's plans either.
Because although Wade is 34 years old, he is still very eager to have the opportunity to contribute his spare energy.
For those mid-range teams, when the team's salary space is tight, it is better to dig some cheap immediate combat power than to bet on Wade.
As for those teams that are eager to compete for the championship?
Hmm. The Spurs are really interested in Wade.
But this summer, Popovich's first choice is Gasol.
Of course, the Spurs still tentatively sent a mid-level offer to Wade. After all, in Popovich's eyes, what if Wade desires a championship and chooses to join the Spurs?
Therefore, Wade's current situation can only be described as embarrassing.
This star who has repeatedly chosen to cut his salary for the "Heat Brothers" and the Heat's reconstruction. Now the most interested and sincere player is the Knicks, can you believe it?
Wade fell silent.
Indeed, no matter from which point of view, the Knicks are the best choice.
Because of joining the Knicks, Wade has a great chance to win his second career championship.
How could Wade, who only won one championship in this life, be reconciled?
However, to join this team of Xiri's enemies and fall into the arms of Lin Yi, the enemy of my emperor's life. Wade's inner pride did not allow him to do so.
In Lin Yi's life, the 03 golden generation had a very miserable life, but this does not mean that they all lost their ambitions.
Unwilling, unwilling, and want to go again.
Wade is caught in a dilemma.
……
On the 10th, when Lin Yi, who was busy with the wedding, appeared in front of Wade with Clay, I Pao, Gobert, and Jokic, the hesitant Flash made his final decision.
Lin Yi knew that it was useless to talk about money alone against a player like Wade.
In the 21st century, the income of NBA stars does not only depend on salary, but more often than not, salary has become a status symbol.
Wade, who once sat on the throne of the league's number one shooting guard, is naturally not short of money. Now, in Lin Yi's view, what he needs is respect and recognition.
Wade, who was abandoned by Riley, has long been heartbroken by this cold alliance.
Next, after various tentative inquiries, Wade even began to have an idea of self-doubt.
Therefore, Lin Yi gave Wade enough respect.
He brought the Knicks' starting lineup to Miami for next season.
And there is also Wade's friend Paul.
"We need you, Dwyane." When Lin Yi, the four-time champion in five years and five-time regular season MVP, personally extended an invitation to Wade, the Flash couldn't refuse.
He puffed his cheeks and looked at Lin Yi in disbelief.
If it was him five years ago, even if Lin Yi appeared in front of him with the champion team, he would not be moved.
but now he
There is no doubt that Lin Yi is today's NBA No.1.
The Knicks are the strongest team in the NBA right now.
Because even with LeBron, Wade can't climb this mountain.
Wade felt the sincerity from the Knicks.
And just like the old boxing champion would rather retire to the sun than join the Knicks enemies, on the 10th, Lin Yi conquered Wade with his charisma.
Hmm. He still has a bit of charisma when he doesn't pierce the hearts of others.
"I agree to join the Knicks." Wade said this sentence with a slightly trembling voice.
Lin Yi smiled happily, "Now, we are comrades-in-arms."
"However, I have one condition." Wade added.
Lin Yi spread his hands. It is not uncommon for a player like Wade to offer some extra conditions, so he signaled Wade to continue talking.
"I don't accept a one-year $1500 million contract." Wade said to Lin Yi.
Do you think you don't have enough money?
"No problem, then we will continue to vacate"
"No, I mean, it's enough to give me a middle class." Wade said to Lin Yi very seriously.
Lin Yi: "."
Paul: "."
Clay: "."
Gobert: "."
Jokic: "."
Look up!
In this world, there are actually some people who think that they take too much money?
"I have seen your salary structure and lineup structure, Lin, don't try to lie to me, I know, after Tyson left the team, what you need most and most urgently is inside signings, not outside."
"If I sign this $1500 million contract, will your signings next season be very troublesome?"
"Also, I don't want to leave after only playing for one year with the Knicks. I don't know what the future will hold, but I'm 33 years old, so Lin, give me a mid-level long-term contract. I don't want to experience leaving again." Wade explained to Lin Yi.
Lin Yi smashed his tongue.
Because he never expected that Wade would personally stand up and help him solve the most troublesome problem.
perhaps?Is this the attribute that every player who turns an enemy into a friend will have?
In Lin Yi's previous life, Durant also cut the Warriors' salary in various ways after joining.
Of course, Lin Yi knew that Wade was different from Durant this time.
This guy was heartbroken by Riley.
Then, I was heartbroken by a bunch of quotations.
Lin Yi did not refuse Wade's offer. According to Wade's personal wish, he planned to play for four more seasons before retiring. So, Lin Yi handed over the contract negotiation to JaVale and Wade's agent.
After Lin Yi left with his teammates, at Wade's home, Henry looked at Wade and said, "Dwyane. Why did you make such a choice."
Wade shook his head, "Henry, I'm old, to be honest, if I can, I don't want to leave Miami."
"But you also saw that this is not home."
"The Knicks showed their sincerity and respect, and that's exactly what I wanted."
"Salary? That's not important. What's important is that I will tell the boss in my own way that he is wrong." After saying that, Wade clenched his fists.
just
After turning enemies into friends with the Knicks, how should I explain it to LeBron?
Wade started to have a headache again
