Chapter 537: Riley Who Betrays Her Relatives (Fourth Update!)
A sentence of hometown basketball instantly detonated social media.
Durant is recovering from an offseason injury, and this time James is trending on Twitter.
The former brother basketball has been discussed by fans for several years, and it has also become a new term. Now hometown basketball is obviously replacing it!
"Don, you are a wizard! I am more excited than ever now, and I finally have a chance to win the championship!"
Tang Tian also received a text message from Owen.
He half-guessed and told Irving that he would have strong players in the summer, and it came true.
"Enjoy it."
Tang Tian sent back a message to Owen.
Now James has returned to the Cavaliers just like history, but I don’t know if the relationship between Irving and him will develop like history in the future.
But to be honest, he has been paying attention to the free agency market.
It can even be said that he should be the first person among all people to guess this result.
If Bosh stays, the Big Three may continue to be together by virtue of last season's championship.
But once Bosh leaves, the Heat are basically a dead end.
Speaking of which, James is really a bit metaphysical in this area. He left the Cavaliers before and left a mess.
Now that he leaves the Heat, the Heat are another mess.
Even the second time in history that he left the Cavaliers, the Cavaliers are...
Like many fans, he felt sorry for Wade.
Wade was probably the most injured person in this chain of events.
Wade is sad, Riley is furious.
He is nicknamed the magic operator, and everything is under his control.
He single-handedly created the Big Three. Although the process was a bit bumpy, he finally won the championship.
But now, Bosh and James have abandoned him!
He picked up the phone, hesitated for a while and didn't call James, but fell to the ground suddenly.
"Snapped!"
The phone was torn apart, but his anger still persisted.
In this situation, he can't really go to James to make a theory, and he can't even vent in front of the media.
There are too many interests involved in this, and James has also brought championships to the Heat. In addition to being possessed by Xiaoshuai and dropping a mobile phone, he can only suffer internal injuries in the end.
This is really not just his management career, but the greatest shame of his entire life!
He quickly called his assistant to the office and asked the latter to quickly strengthen the connection with Anthony.
James ran away, and there is a high probability that Anthony will also slip away. Now he must make a last-ditch effort.
"Tell him that the Heat will meet all his requirements."
Riley told him before the assistant left.
James' departure made him lose his biggest bargaining chips. At this time, empty checks became his only reliance.
"Go!"
Seeing the assistant looking at the broken mobile phone on the ground, he scolded.
The assistant came back to his senses, nodded and walked out of the office quickly.
Seeing the assistant leave, he sat on the stool in the office, thought for a while, called Wade on the landline, and made an appointment with the latter for an interview.
After hanging up the phone, he stared blankly out the window.
I don't know when it started, but Miami, which has always been sunny, turned cloudy at this time.
There are dark clouds, and it looks like a heavy rain is coming.
More than an hour later, a light rain began to fall outside the window.
Riley just sat there for over an hour.
"Hey~"
There was a knock on the door.
It was the assistant who came back, and his face looked a little flustered.
Seeing this, Riley unconsciously "clicked" in his heart.
"Anthony, he has decided to return to the Knicks."
"Snapped!"
Riley's raised hand fell to the desk, and he slumped down on the chair.
"Boom!"
At this time, a flash of lightning struck outside the window, followed by a loud muffled thunder.
What was originally a light rain turned into a torrential downpour in an instant.
It's over, it's really over now...
Bosh is gone, James is running, and Anthony is not coming.
The Heat just finished winning the championship last season, but now, like the Mavericks in 2012, they have directly changed from a favorite to a non-playoff team.
And what's different from the Mavericks is that Cuban chose it by himself, and they were directly relegated...
Riley's usually bright eyes were now full of despair.
Now he doesn't look like a magician at all, but a big fool!
For a moment, he thought of three years ago.
At the beginning, the Heat had the opportunity to select Tang Tian. If Tang Tian had been selected, the number of championships they would have won was three.
Even if James leaves, they still have Tang Tian!
But now, nothing.
He is really betrayed now, and there is nothing left!
At this time, another flash of lightning flashed outside the window, the thunder continued, and the heavy rain continued.
"Wade! Wade!"
In desperation, he remembered the only person.
The Flash is now his last hope.
At a coffee shop in Miami, Riley and Wade meet up.
Riley's original plan was to discuss things with Bosh and Wade after James was settled.
For Wade, he wanted to persuade the latter to cut his salary. After all, Wade is getting older and he is a player selected by the Heat.
But now, the free market has basically settled, and the superstars who can be signed are basically useless, and Wade is the last one.
Wade is now also being recruited by the Bulls and Nuggets, but he finally accepted Riley's maximum salary offer.
This has something to do with his character, he is a very emotional and loyal person.
The next day, the alliance broke out a series of news one after another.
James attended a sponsor's event in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, with his buddy Varejao in attendance.
During the event, James was interviewed by reporters, which was his first time since returning to the Cavaliers.
"It's a pleasure to be back in Cleveland, it's unbelievable, and I'll be bringing Miami's championship experience home."
James said so.
Immediately after this news, the Knicks also officially announced that they and Anthony reached a five-year 120 million contract extension.
This is also the largest contract extension that Anthony can get in the free market.
The Heat are not far behind, announcing that they have reached a three-year contract extension with a maximum salary of 72 million with the team's core Wade.
It is worth mentioning that this is also the first maximum salary contract of Wade's career.
These three signings are finalized, and this year's earthquake-level free market has finally come to an end.
This can be called the most turbulent free market in the past ten years, and it is even more exaggerated than when the Heat formed the Big Three.
James, Bosh, Howard...these all-stars have changed hands.
Cavaliers, Heat, Lakers, Knicks... The strength of these teams has undergone tremendous changes.
The East-West pattern has been broken even more.
The Spurs rely on the reinforcement of Gasol to dominate the Western Conference, but in the Eastern Conference, the Cavaliers have a great chance to replace the Heat's previous position.
