Chapter 954 Invite in Person, Take the Initiative to Cut Salary!
"Believe me, Dwyane 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, nba is a business league.
Wade, who is about to turn 4 years old, not many teams are willing to give him a long-term contract.
Whether Wade's current strength is 70% or 60% 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 4 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?
Well, the Spurs are really interested in Wade.
But this summer, Vecchio's first choice is Gasol.
Of course, the Spurs still tentatively sent a mid-level offer to Wade. After all, in the eyes of Vich, what if Wade desires a championship and chooses to join the Spurs?
Therefore, Wade's current situation can only be described as embarrassing.
The star who has repeatedly chosen to cut his salary for the sake of the "Heat Brothers" and the reconstruction of the Heat is now the most interested in him, and the most sincere one 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 can Wade, who has only won one championship in this life, be reconciled?
However, to join this Xiri's enemy, and throw himself into the arms of Lin Yi, the enemy of my life, Wade's inner pride did not allow him to do so.
In Lin Yi's life, the 0 golden generation had a very miserable life, but it doesn't mean that they all lost their ambitions.
Not reconciled, not willing, 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' roster to Miami for next season.
And there is also Wade's friend Paul.
"We need you, Dwyane." When Lin Yi, the VP of five consecutive regular seasons and four championships in five years, personally extended an invitation to Wade, the Flash could no longer 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 a champion team,
Nor will he be moved.
but now he
There is no doubt that Lin Yi is the number one player in the NBA today.
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.
Well, when he doesn't touch other people's hearts, he still has a little charisma.
"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 $15 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 at the sky!
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 $15 million contract, will your signings next season be very troublesome?"
"Also, I don't want to leave after only one year with the Knicks. I don't know what the future holds, but I'm old. So Lin, give me a mid-level long-term contract. I don't want to go through another leave." 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 quotes
Lin Yi did not reject the condition offered by Wade. According to Wade's personal wish, he planned to play for four more seasons before retiring. So next, Lin Yi handed over the contract negotiation to JaVale and Wade. broker.
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.
only
After turning enemies into friends with the Knicks, how should I explain it to LeBron?
Wade started to have a headache again
...
