Chapter 220: Yao Ming, Howard, Jiang Chao’s ultimate blueprint!

Originally, Dayao was very happy to hear that Curry, Harden and others wanted him to come. Even if he took free money from the Knicks players this season, they all agreed, which made his impression of the Knicks players better.

During his career, almost all Knicks players were thorny, rough and reckless and did not pass the ball. Jiang Chao is gradually improving his impression of the Knicks team.

However, Jiang Chao's last sentence of voluntarily applying for a transaction shocked him and his agent Zhang Mingji.

This is too "deviant". You must know that in this era, if a team takes the initiative to apply for a trade, it means betrayal.

But in fact, Jiang Chao has seen too much in the future, and he did not let Dayao take the simplest and easiest way to escape, which is to publicly express his desire to trade on Twitter without notifying the management, and even designate the next company.

In other words, Silver is weak, and David Stern really won't get used to it.

What Jiang Chao asked Dayao to do was much gentler, which was to tell the Rockets in private that they should break up peacefully and put him on the market during the contract period. He didn't want to affect the future of other young people in the Rockets.

But this is a nice way of saying it. In the NBA, a business league, the management can only say that it wants to break up with you, and if your players break up with you, it will only lead to a fire in the management's backyard.

Jiang Chao clearly knew that Morey still wanted to seize this cash cow. Now that Dayao suddenly proposed that he wanted to be traded, it was strange that he didn't panic.

In fact, Jiang Chao could be a little more ruthless. Like most players in his previous life, he said that he was injured and would be out indefinitely. If the team wanted to improve its record, it simply couldn't afford it. If you proposed a trade, it would naturally be done directly.

But Jiang Chao would not really let Dayao do this. Doing so would be too greedy and would also affect Dayao's image in his career.

"Let's keep things simple. Both you and Tracy McGrady are injured, and the transaction value has plummeted in the market. I will settle everything with a normal transaction."

In fact, before making this call, Jiang Chao, Xiao Hu, Sean Marks and others had thought of countless ways to trade, and even brought in three parties to complete the transaction.

Although they intend to take advantage of your illness and kill you, Yao Mai will be killed immediately, but the things given are not small. If you really want to take advantage of the transaction, it is not feasible, because the Knicks' positive-value assets are these rookies and draft picks.

Right, these are things that the boss cannot touch by name.

So Yao Ming also heard it, and if he really wanted to trade him, the Knicks would have to bleed.

In the end, it all depends on Dayao's own attitude. If Dayao himself doesn't want to come, then it won't work if the Knicks force him to trade. The Rockets are so close to the Chinese market now that they won't make such a decision.

Then Dayao also expressed his opinion, which was something he had never told Morey.

That is, the Rockets doctor said that if he continues to play like this, his leg will be useless after playing for at least one season. However, the New York medical team said that as long as he controls his playing time, he can play for at least 3-5 years after recovering this time.

And the burden on the knees will not be too great after retirement.

This was beyond Jiang Chao's expectation. Did the doctor who co-wrote it later deceive Yao into wanting him to retire early so that both parties could be better behaved?

Later Dayao announced his retirement after the end of this long-term contract with the maximum salary. At that time, many fans were reluctant to give up. He was only 30 years old and had not won any honors. However, Dayao himself said that he did not want to spend the rest of his life in a wheelchair.

After that, his short career ended.

Looking at it now, it’s scary to think about it. Maybe this is an excuse for Morey not to give Dayao another tens of millions of annual salary to let him leave?

You must know that if Dayao does not choose to retire when his contract ends next year, he will definitely be worth more than 10 million in annual salary, and there will be a lot of teams competing for it. At this time, if the Rockets do not renew the contract or match the offer, they will definitely be hated by Chinese fans.

Who doesn't want a center who averages 2010 per game?

And Morey asked the medical team to say this, everyone should take care of their own body.

Anyway, I have given you all the favors and sophistication of the Rockets and promised you to retire your jersey and so on. Just don’t take up my salary space and hinder the reconstruction???

Is this kid so thoughtful?

However, Jiang Chao didn't bother to investigate whether this was true. He also sent the New York medical team there. He believed in the diagnosis here. What he wanted to do now was to help Dayao escape from the sea of ​​suffering.

Gong Huo has also been raised, and he has done all he can to help Dayao.

Jiang Chao's ultimate goal is not to disgust Mogou. There are evil people to torture this kind of shit. He just wants Dayao's career to have a perfect ending, just like what he said in the initial phone call to Dayao, even if

One last fight for the championship!

The Rockets actually know that the Yao-Mai combination is not working well. How many times did McGrady pull his crotch in key games, leading to the loss of the game? There is very little chemistry between the two of them. In Jiang Chao's view, how many times does Yao Ming have more talent?

If the shooters work together, they won't have never made it to the conference finals in their career.

You know, he is the man rated as the number one center in the league by ESPN!!!

Just like Paul, the league's number one point guard, has never made it to the conference finals, this is going to be a pillar of shame.

Every basketball fan is a Dayao fan, which will definitely be a pity.

Therefore, Jiang Chao directly gave him the best chicken soup and even promised:

"You can take the initiative to apply for a trade or let the athletes buy you out or whatever. I will give you the honor you want. As long as you come here, I promise you to play in the finals before the end of your next contract."

"What if you fail? Don't you like betting?"

Dayao is completely attracted. A big market like New York is not particularly attractive to international players like him, but what is attractive to him is that Yi Jianlian and Sun Yue are both in New York, or Jiang Chao

It’s also there, and there are also many delicacies from the Magic City...

Just saying that he and Yi Jianlian were connected to the Great Wall in the NBA was enough to make him excited.

"Haha, Brother Yao, tell me a bet."

Jiang Chao also knew that this kind of promise was unconvincing, but he had no choice. He was not making a bet with the management, and there was nothing to bet on.

I just didn’t expect that Dayao was also a loyal fan of Card Master.

"If you don't fulfill your promise to me, how about you buy a CBA team and drive the CBA market when I leave the Knicks?"

"Uh... ok."

When Jiang Chao heard that it was CBA again, he frowned subconsciously, Dayao, Dayao, what are you doing? Do you know how much trouble the CBA will make you in the future? This league is already rotten, and we can only build another one.

That's the way out.

However, he was absolutely confident in himself and nodded directly in agreement.

"Then I promise you."

"Okay, I'm relieved with your words. You go and tell the management that you want to leave, and then call me, and we, the Knicks, will take care of it."

"Um."

When Morey is mentioned, Dayao feels a little disgusted now, but he will never see him again soon.

…

Late that night.

When Morey was about to fall asleep, he was woken up by a phone call from Houston.

Dayao truly demonstrated what Tai Chi talking means, neither swearing nor being impulsive. He expressed his thoughts with reason and evidence that his fate with the Rockets was over, and expressed his desire to leave the Rockets and let the Rockets start building the team again as soon as possible.

.

Morey, who has been bombarded by the outside media and has been forced by Tracy McGrady's team to renew his contract in advance, was so upset that he angrily shouted:

"Who do you think you are? Trade if you want? Do you believe that I will buy you out and leave you without a ball to play with??"

Dayao saw him breaking through the defense and said directly:

"That's fine. Anyway, I'm about to retire and have no use anymore. We can discuss the buyout and we won't ask you for too much money."

"Haha, it's the middle of the season. Which team will take over your 17 million contract? Don't count on your Chinese boss. If they want Tracy McGrady, they won't want you."

It seems that Morey was deceived by the Knicks executives, and now he still thinks that Jiang Chao and the others really want McGrady to lead the Knicks young players to play in the playoffs.

And in fact, most people don't think that the Knicks need a traditional big center. The Knicks' style of play is quick and quick. Now they have a positional All-Star. This is a self-inflicted injury. You can't get Yao Ming and let him play in a single game.

Eddy Curry plays the same 8 minutes, right?

This is too luxurious.

Yes, the Knicks have such luxurious conditions!

So Dayao said as calmly as possible:

"You make your own choice. You can buy me out now or put me on the shelf. I want to trick other teams into getting the last big contract."

Hearing Dayao talk about his last big contract, manager Mo Gou, who is stingy by nature, immediately lost his composure. Sure enough, it is impossible for Dayao to accept the Rockets' low-price offer after the contract ends. It seems that he can only cheat others.

The team went.

His injury will 100% recur when the Rockets have Adelman. They also know that Van Gundy will use a center, but Van Gundy is currently very comfortable in the Magic.

So Morey has been pretending to be stupid. Everyone knows that Dayao cannot be used often at his current weight and age, but everyone also knows that the only thing the Rockets can rely on is Dayao's inside line.

None of the other outsiders were accurate, and there was no helper on the inside either. It was very bleak.

It would be absolutely impossible for him to buy out Dayao.

A buyout requires a huge salary to be paid directly now, so as to free up space in the team. Generally, a buyout will be chosen when no one wants the player, or when the veteran will retire honorably and give money in the name of fairness.

.

And Dayao can obviously exchange positive assets with other teams without paying his next salary. Now that he has bought it out, other teams will frantically compete for new contracts, which will directly make other teams cheaper.

"Thank you for taking care of me these past nine years. Our fate should end here. I wish our Rockets will go better and better and fulfill my dream of a championship."

Dayao still has deep feelings for the Rockets. This cannot be determined by Morey's bad words alone.

"Then where are you going to go next, can you tell me?"

"You first need to see which teams want me. This is my last help to you. I don't care which team I go to. I just want to sign a contract and take care of myself."

"Okay, then I'll watch it come?"
To be continued...
