Chapter 117 116: Legend or joke?

Big dreams turn into flying pigs.

The deformation meter doesn’t change like this!

Tall and thin turned into short, fat and bald!

Xie Yi feels like a failure in online dating.

Moreover, Xie Yi and Dameng were flirting with each other before.

But he and Feizhu have never dealt with each other.

Previous rumors also said that Fliggy will most likely renew the contract with the 76ers and then seek a deal.

As for the Lakers, all their chips were stacked on Dream, so Shay didn't expect that Barkley would suddenly land in the air.

But in fact, all of this has been brewing for a long time.

It was the day the Rockets announced Olajuwon's decision to stay with the team.

The Suns and 76ers also officially reached a transaction intention and started their alternative plans.

The two sides have discussed before that if no one can get Olajuwon, then they will start the internal circulation mode.

The 76ers can still send away the Flying Pigs smoothly, and the Suns can also get the star they dream of.

Win-win!

But just when the 76ers approached Fliggy to renew their contract and prepared to sign and then trade, Fliggy, who had been easy to deceive before, suddenly quit.

“Didn’t you say before that you were willing to go to Phoenix!?

They don't have the salary space to sign you. If you want to go, you can only sign with us first, and then we will trade you!

Don’t you want to go to a strong team? The Suns were fourth in the Western Conference last season. They weren’t strong enough?

Stop making trouble, Charles, and sign it quickly!"

Looking at the astonished 76ers new general manager Jim Lynam, Barkley spread his hands:

"I don't want to go to Phoenix now, burp~"

As he said this, Feizhu burped.

Linam covered his nose and slapped away the bad smell with his hand in disgust:

"This is not a child's play Charles, at this time of year, every team is almost fully strengthened.

Think about it for yourself, which other team that is capable of competing for the championship has salary space?

there is none left!

For an older leftover like you, what else do you have to choose from?

You only have the option to sign first and then exchange!

Going to the sun is the best option for you.

You don’t want me to take you to a hellish place like Salt Lake City, do you?”

"Don't scare me Jim, as long as I don't sign, you are not qualified to trade me.

And who says that even strong teams have no salary space?

The Lakers offered me 3 million.

You only gave me 2.4 million.

Are you still confused about which choice to make?

If you offer me 3.5 million, I will agree to sign first and then exchange."

Buckley was confident and admired Linam's expression, which was more uncomfortable than reading a novel and encountering a broken chapter.

Linam didn't react until Feizhu said this.

What's wrong, he originally wanted to backstab the Lakers, but he was backstabbed by the Lakers instead!

The Logo Man hadn't made any rash moves in the transfer market before. Not only was he waiting for Olajuwon, he was also waiting for Barkley!

He made two preparations early on, and the previous operations ostensibly allowed the Lakers to successfully strengthen.

But while strengthening, it also freed up some salary space!

Currently, only Shea and Perkins have an annual salary of more than two million in the entire Lakers team.

In addition, the salary cap has increased by 2 million this year, so.

Logo has been keeping salary space waiting to raise pigs!

"Damn Jerry!" Lenam cursed in his heart. He should have thought that a bandit team like the Lakers smelled Barkley's pig stink.

Could it be that their pursuit of Olajuwon was just a pretense? Is it just an attempt to make an attack in the east?

In fact, West is not that dark. He was sincerely pursuing Olajuwon before.

But of course the Logo Man will not let himself hang from a tree.

Man, if you want to die, you must die among flowers!

Logo had already contacted Barkley and discussed the contract with him.

But after slowly talking about 3 million a year, Barkley kept saying that he was considering it, without giving a clear answer.

That's why the Lakers couldn't win the Flying Pigs quickly.

However, because no news leaked out, the 76ers always thought that the Flying Pigs were very stable.

In fact, Logo Man's original idea was to catch Barkley and Olajuwon in one fell swoop!

Trade to get Olajuwon first, and then sign Barkley naked, it's a pleasure.

In this way, this is simply a replica of the Magic + Kareem + Worthy lineup in the 1980s.

Even stronger!

But it turns out that this magical lineup is only a dream.

The Flying Pigs did not agree to the Lakers immediately, mainly because they wanted to see if they could make more money from the 76ers.

The Lakers have limited salary space, so they can only spend up to 3 million.

But the 76ers are different. They have the bird rights of the Flying Pigs and can renew their contract with the Flying Pigs.

Theoretically speaking, according to the NBA rules of this era, there is no cap on how much the 76ers can give the Flying Pigs. It all depends on whether the 76ers are willing.

The Lakers offered 3 million, and the 76ers offered at least 3.5 million, right?

But the result was heartbreaking for the pig, and the 76ers were no longer willing to spend money on the Fliggy.

Although the 76ers will trade him immediately after signing the Fliggy, the trade will also have to be balanced with salary, so they still have to spend the money.

Barkley's asking price was 1 million yuan different from their psychological expectations.

The 76ers really couldn't accept such a proposal.

Lynam looked at Barkley and shook his head: "Stop it, Charles, 3.5 million? Jordan only had 3.25 million last season."

When Buckley heard this, he immediately became angry.

What does this mean?

Old pig, why don’t I deserve to get higher than Jordan?

How am I worse than Jordan?

Jordan shoots more accurately than me, has more championships than me, and has several scoring titles!

He's not even as handsome as me!

Look at this year's Olympic Games, can Jordan lead the team to win? You know he doesn't have that ability!

It’s not like I, an old pig, worked so hard to hold the title of the dream team’s scoring champion and lead the team to win the Olympic championship.

Jordan: Ah, yes, yes, after all, some people have to score 20 points before they are finished.

Seeing the cold attitude of the 76ers, Barkley nodded and stood up: "Then the negotiation is over Jim, I wish you good luck. You can contact my agent for the next matter."

Ten minutes later, West received a call from Barkley's agent.

They finally expressed their willingness to sign!

West's heart finally fell to the ground.

Just like that, it happened.

When everyone was laughing at the Lakers and West, West successfully pushed up with a spare tire.

On the importance of being prepared!

After Shay hung up the phone, he took a deep breath.

Yesterday, my big dream didn't come true, today, a pig suddenly appeared.
