Text Chapter 779: When Poaching Is in Progress

After listening to the words of his friend Mullin, Mele of the Houston Rockets felt fluctuated in his heart. "Mele, I need you. I know your ability. Your current position is definitely a waste of your talent. We can work together. I know how powerful you are. I need you in my team."

It is impossible for Mele not to be indifferent to this invitation from his friend. This is a job with an annual salary of hundreds of thousands, and his current annual salary is just over one hundred thousand dollars. My wife has long wanted to change to a bigger house, and I still have three children to raise. They all want a big room of their own instead of a small room separated out, but this requires more money.

"About Yao Huang's matter, I think I should be able to help!" Meile said, the result of wanting to get all this is that Yao Huang needs to be transferred to the Warriors, under the command of the Asian boss.

"Great buddy, with you supporting me, I think I have a better chance of success." Mullin shook hands excitedly and said.

"Actually, this matter is not as difficult as you imagined. At that time, you also knew that Alexander was tired of the injuries of the two main players. The Big Three bought in, but the lineup was always inconsistent. He and the general manager have already There is a plan to replace Yao Huang. And this guy McGrady had a fake illness at first, but later he got a real illness. The team doctor in the Rockets is a piece of shit, I really don’t know what the higher-ups think."

Mullin also said: "I also thought of this at the time. Yao Huang's contract expires in 2010, and then he can choose to jump out of the contract and become a free agent. Not for the Rockets."

"Based on this calculation, his chances of renewing the contract are quite high, but the Rockets are unlikely to provide him with a good contract at this stage. If he wants to sign a contract now, he will sign a six-year salary of 133 million. With so much money, according to his physical condition, it is impossible for Alexander and general manager Daryl Morey to sign him, if there is still a Chinese market behind him, he should have been traded last year." Mullin analysis Said.

"The injury-prone Yao Ming may collapse at any time. It is definitely a very risky thing to provide a long-term contract for this star who locks up salary space at any time. Let alone any special terms. Yao Ming wants a big contract. It takes action and fitness to convince the team, and that will definitely take a season to prove."

"That's why I made a promise with the boss. McGrady is so bad, it is impossible for the Rockets executives not to deal with him. I have received news that the Knicks are in contact with his agent."

"Yao Huang is a good center forward, but after losing McGrady, he worked too hard, causing him to be injured again and again. According to what I know, this injury may ruin his season this year. Next The season might have to be scrapped. It’s impossible for those guys to miss this point, they just want to extract the last value from him. Then they give him a short-term contract, and in the end they may just find an opportunity to sell him.”

After thinking for a while, Mele said, "I'm going to talk to Yao, as someone who has played basketball for so many years. He also wants a championship ring, that's for sure. Those few days last year I compiled the report of the interview with Yao, and I also know a lot about his mental activities. If you can get the lineup you mentioned, he will also be moved."

"I'm confident. It's just that we have to get rid of Yao Huang first. He is also a prerequisite for attracting people. There are also high-level executives. Just keep an eye on them. I will talk to them about my intentions first." Mullin got Got what I wanted.

The two discussed a lot of things, and these were the keys to the introduction of Yao Huang. Whether the two of them had a good future depends on this matter at this stage.

The next day, Meile planned to meet Yao Huang. Mullin had already started training as the general manager of the Rockets. He was not the general manager after all, so he was just talking about his intentions. Get ready for the summer transfer, and if you want to get Yao over, it's impossible for him not to give the Rockets a little advantage.

The biggest possibility is that the Rockets will sign Yao Huang first, and then he will come and exchange someone with him. And this also has the advantage that the Warriors can save a lot of salary on him in the future. Even if Mu Lin becomes the general manager, it is impossible to provide Yao Huang with a salary of 120 million for five years. This was too risky, and he didn't believe in Yao Huang's health either.

If it is really provided, if something happens to Yao Huang in the future, even if it is Yao Huang that the boss specified. Then he can't escape the fate of being fired. One thing he knows best is, never imagine what the conscience of businessmen will be like. Turning their faces and being ruthless is their truest face.

As for whether Zhou Jiexi will do what Mu Lin thinks, then our Mr. Zhou will definitely look at the questioner with idiot eyes, "Did my money come from the wind?" , Definitely take Mullin's knife, just like Mullin thought, never think about moral things on businessmen.

And it's not just a question of money, but also a question of vision. He, Zhou Jiexi, has been praised for his clever mind and excellent investment vision until now, so it is impossible for him to take the blame.

Another point is that the money saved from Yao Huang's salary can also free up a lot of salary space for the team. Maybe we can work hard on James and Bosh. The boss said that he can give a basic salary, but what is the purpose of being a subordinate? It is to do the boss's work well, and the best thing is to be able to do it better than he imagined. .

And helping the boss get things done and saving him money is what a good employee should do. Even billionaires like employees who can do good things for themselves and save them money.

This year, there are only a lot of players in the ball market. Wade has long since given up, and James and Bosh are bound to win. The boss has asked for it, and if he can't do it, he will be unlucky.

Now power forward and small forward, after these two incomes, the two positions that the Warriors are facing are All-Stars. In addition, if Yao Huang can be taken down, the position of the center forward will also be guaranteed, as long as he is healthy. In addition to Ellis, the All-Star shooting guard and point guard who were already in the original team, he has studied it. Last year's Curry has great potential, but at this stage, a better one is needed.

It's just that the current Warriors, these two guards are still a bit incompatible, which is still a problem. Let's think about these things later. The most important thing for Mu Lin now is to get everything the boss wants. There are several mountains in front of him, and he has to conquer them one by one!

Yao Huang, who was far away from the Houston Rockets, greeted a middle-level manager of the Rockets with whom he had a good relationship. After thinking for a while, he found a private time, and the two made an appointment to meet.

"Hey, Yao, you look much better!" Mele, dressed in a suit, greeted Yao Huang who was sitting in his seat.

"The situation is recovering well, and I expect to be able to play in a few games." Yao Huang sat down and said after shaking hands with him.

"What would you like to drink?" Yao Huang asked politely.

"A cup of coffee, thank you." Mele was accustomed to the hospitality of the Chinese people.

"Yao, you will ruin your sports career like this!" Mele was concerned, "Exercising with high load, the body cannot get a good rest time. For you, re-injury is already a foreseeable thing. "

There was also some emotion on the giant's face, and he only said after a long silence: "The team needs me now!"

"Come on, Yao, you have to think more about yourself." It might be a bit too much to continue, so Mele stopped this topic first. "I won't say much about this, your agent definitely told you a lot."

"Thank you, Mele!" Yao Huang looked at him and said.

"Your contract for this year is about to expire. It is impossible for the club to give you a high contract. Some time ago, Morey has revealed that he only wants to sign a short contract with you and sell you." Mele looked at him and said.

Yao Huang looked at him quietly, he could already hear something was wrong, "Meile..."

"Listen to me first!" Mele interrupted him, "Have you been in the Rockets for almost eight years? You know, according to Alexander's character, it is impossible to win the championship. Now McGrady has It’s no good, trading him out is something that almost everyone needs to know. And you are suffering from injuries and overwork, which is almost equivalent to accelerating the end of your sports career. Will you leave with less than a championship ring?"

Yao Huang, the giant of the Celestial Dynasty, was silent. This question has been asked by many media since 2009. He also answered that he would stay with the Warriors. As for retiring, it was only because his body was getting worse, and he sometimes thought about it that way.

However, he has never won the championship ring, so how could he be reconciled. As the main force to get a championship ring, this is what everyone who plays in the NBA will want. Especially since he is not young anymore, he doesn't have so much time to waste, and it will only get worse in the future.

Maybe in the future, he can get a championship ring as a substitute, but this is definitely not what he wants. In the current situation of the Rockets, he is actually struggling between staying on the team and going to other teams.

If he signed with the Rockets, he would not be a free agent. It is also impossible for him to obtain player veto power like Kobe. If you don't jump out of the contract, you can't decide where you go. If the time comes and become a free agent, it seems a bit too much.

After a long silence, Mele had already finished a cup of coffee, and now the second cup is ready for refills. Yao Huang opened his mouth and said, "Meile, which side are you on?"

When the coffee came, Mele took a sip, looked at Yao Huang, and didn't answer his words right away, but said, "Yao, have you read the newspaper this morning?"
