Chapter 268 267: The bad relationship between fish and snake, the dangerous person Logo is coming into contact with

July 2, the day after free agency begins.

Stern was so surprised by the Magic's random operations that he couldn't sleep.

Shaquille O'Neal, the super center who is extremely dominant at a young age, actually wants to leave Orlando!

The reason is that the magic money is not enough.

This is the most bizarre thing about this matter, because this is basically the most inappropriate reason for leaving the team.

Although many teams are chasing O'Neal, as O'Neal's old club, the Orlando Magic has a very obvious lead.

First of all, because they own O'Neal's Bird Rights, the Magic can offer a cap extension at a price unmatched by other teams.

In addition, there is no state tax in Florida, where Orlando is located, which means that if O'Neal renews his contract with the Magic, he will actually receive more money.

For the Magic to re-sign O'Neal, it's as simple as just one step: throw a blank check to Shark, set a reasonable range, and let him fill in the numbers.

They don't even need to think about things like the luxury tax like future teams will.

Under the existing rules, if the difficulty of renewing the contract is divided into 0 to 10, 10 difficulty levels, then the difficulty of renewing O'Neal can basically be calculated as -1.

However, it is such a simple thing.

The Magic miraculously screwed up!

It's like a goddess threw herself into a trap, got herself drunk and lay down on your sofa, but the next day she walked out safe and sound!

Juwan Howard received a seven-year, $105 million guarantee from the Bullets.

Riley, who finally got the maximum rights in Miami, also told the media without hesitation that the team is willing to use a seven-year, 110 million contract to keep Mourning.

As for O'Neal, his strength and potential are obviously above these two.

But what offer did the Magic make to the Sharks?

69 million in 7 years.

O'Neal feels that the Magic may not understand what the current super center market is like.

He doesn't embarrass the Magic and doesn't pursue the exaggeration of 30 million a year like Shay.

But I have to at least be on par with Mourning, right? You have to give me 110 million in 7 years, right? The market price, brother.

After listening to Shark's opinion, the Magic also suspected that their price was a bit humiliating, so they raised it a bit: 80 million over seven years.

And told O'Neal: This is the highest offer and there is no need to negotiate.

Everyone at Stern is dumbfounded. What are the Magic thinking?

O'Neal was dumbfounded at the time. He didn't know what the Magic were thinking, so he asked directly:

"Why is it that the team knows my value but refuses to pay me a salary that matches it?"

Yes, Magic general manager John Gabriel was waiting for O'Neal to ask this question.

In order to reduce the price of the Sharks this summer, he did enough homework and directly told the Sharks:

"First, the team's playoff results this year did not meet expectations, and we were swept by the Bulls! The Bulls are just a runner-up team!

And Shaq, you didn't even manage to conquer a world that is no longer at its peak.

Second, when Hardaway was injured this season, Hardaway performed better when leading the team alone. Facts have proved that he can also be an excellent core.

Third, you know Shaq, we can't make Penny unhappy."

After hearing this, the shark became angry.

What the hell?

I want to make money in Orlando, but I still have to look at the penny’s face? That’s not like kneeling down to beg for food!

The Magic do want Penny because Shea and Jordan have proven that fans no longer favor super centers these days.

Fans are more willing to spend money on game tickets to watch guards like Shai and Jordan, and teams with guards as their core can obviously go further.

Isn't it time for Olajuwon to lose? It should be the ceiling at the fifth position, right?

But what is his level in the playoffs? How good is Shai and Jordan in taking turns to beat him!

So between a super defender and a super center, of course, choose the super defender!

Some people may ask, then why don’t we all use magic?

Damn you, do you really think my magic trick is rich?

The only obstacle that prevents men from ordering two at the same time is that they don’t have enough money.

If you want to order two at the same time, one of you must lower the price.

Anyway, pennies can’t drop, so guess who does?

Shark was angry at that time. I am the county magistrate, and Pian is just a master!

However, Milijia is a free and democratic country.

The people here have the right to freely choose who to shoot, and naturally they also have the right to freely choose who to leave and who to stay.

The Magic told O'Neal that they would conduct a fan poll in the newspaper and ask if O'Neal was worth 100 million.

If the fans think you are worth it, then let's sit down and talk about it.

O'Neal is full of confidence. Not to mention anything else, the fans in Orlando have already been conquered by me just because of my appearance.

And then the next day’s news:

"91% of fans think O'Neal is not worth 100 million!"

O'Neal:???

Ah this

There's nothing I can do about it, Penny is just too popular right now.

That was someone who could rival Shay and Shay's defeated men in terms of popularity.

Jordan: I no longer deserve a name?

O'Neal overestimated his popularity in Orlando.

For a time, all major media were reporting on this matter. In NBC’s transfer period special program, the host said this:

"O'Neal's own fans have even abandoned him!"

Embarrassing, O'Neal has never been so embarrassed in his life.

Not only was he humiliated by the management, but he was also humiliated by the entire Orlando fans.

Barkley, a man with a true temperament, naturally couldn't stand it. When being interviewed, he said directly: "What's the point of voting? Sixty percent of the people in Orlando don't know anything about football."

But what can Barkley change?

Fan voting gave Magic management confidence.

The Magic offered $80 million over seven years and would not raise the price again.

The Magic thought O'Neal would cooperate obediently, but O'Neal immediately flipped the table: "I will not appear in the Magic's lineup next season."

As soon as these words came out, the two sides broke up completely.

Magic management:???

No, Ah Shark, are you serious?

In this way, the Magic lost a super center in just one day.

Stern looked at the news that the whole league was interested in Sharks and simply didn't know what to say.

The Magic are just like the NBA's poverty alleviation agency!

Is the super center forced to give away?

Just like that, a wave of chasing sharks started throughout the league.

Riley looked at Mourning in his hand and instantly felt that it didn't smell good: "Damn, I signed it too early!"

And how could Logo miss this kind of excitement?

As soon as the free agent market opened, Shea jumped out of his contract, and Clifford Robinson did not renew his contract with the team.

So, now the Lakers have enough salary space to chase the Sharks!

What if the Sharks and Shay team up.

Thanks to Shark, even grandma can start it!

Of course, logo services are usually done very cleanly.

No one in the league knew the Lakers were approaching Shaq.
