Otherwise, Shay's defeated general might not even be able to sleep well.

Logo's offensive is very fierce, and he certainly understands the concept of Shai and the Sharks joining forces.

He flew directly to Atlanta in person - O'Neal was preparing for the Atlanta Olympics with the Dream Team at the time.

O'Neal wants an exclusive parking space? No problem, the logo means that my parking space will be available to you in the future.

Want free tickets? No problem, you can get as many as you want.

By the way, the magician also said that he will privately give you a rainbow tactical secret book, which is only passed down to the core of the Lakers!

O'Neal almost agreed, big market, high exposure, 100 million yuan contract, player option in the third year.

This is all what the shark wants.

But the Sharks' agent, Amato, told O'Neal: "You must think clearly, the Lakers are Shay's team."

O'Neal hung up the phone and glanced at Pence, who was sweating profusely on the training field.

Did he really leave the Magic just for money? He just couldn't swallow this breath!

I, Shaq, started as an All-Star in my rookie season, and in my second year I was able to kill the Generals and Ewing.

You are as strong as me, how can you kill me for pennies?

What an international joke!

I must be the core of a team. I, the Shark, was born to be the boss!

When he went to the Lakers, O'Neal just changed from playing for Pence to playing for Shay.

When the time comes, he will be the next flying pig.

No MVP or honor has anything to do with him.

And from the bottom of his heart, Shark doesn't like Shay either.

Shay had sucked him so many times, and he wanted to defeat Shay more than join!

So, Amato told O'Neal to drag the Lakers first.

Next, if there is a team that can give O'Neal a billion-dollar contract and boss status at the same time, then naturally join that team.

If it really isn't available, then consider the Lakers' offer.

As a result, O'Neal also listened to offers from several other teams.

The Pistons were willing to give O'Neal a 100-million-dollar contract, but O'Neal's team felt that the Detroit area had little commercial value.

The eagle also launched a fierce attack on the shark based on the concept of first-come-first-serve approach.

But they don't have enough salary space to provide O'Neal with a billion-dollar contract.

When the Magic saw that O'Neal was serious, they were also frightened. They had previously said they would never raise the price again and hurriedly offered a 7-year, 109 million contract: "Shaq, I admit that our voices were a bit loud before!"

However, at this juncture, the Magic are still acting like a monster. This is because they have added many clauses to the contract that O'Neal simply cannot complete.

For example, the free throw shooting rate is above 70%.

For example, you must win the best defensive player award.

Once one of the terms is not completed, O'Neal will not receive his full salary.

Compared to the sincerity of the Lakers, the Magic used this clause to disgust people after humiliating O'Neal.

Orlando Magic management, the ceiling of NBA management!

O'Neal had completely given up on the Magic. He called Logo again and asked just one question: "How will I position myself after I go?"

The logo is naturally a delaying strategy: "Commander Xie has a long life, and Deputy Commander Shark will always be healthy."

"Okay, let me ask you another question, how many more years do I have to be the second child?"

"Shay is still very young, and you are also very young. Therefore, the future is yours and his, but in the final analysis it is still yours."

"Then let me ask another question. If I have the ability, can't I take over in advance?"

"I advise you to give up this dangerous idea. Every plant and tree in Los Angeles is yours, but you can't take what Shay won't give you.

Shaq, I can promise you anything. That is, Dr. Bass doesn’t have a wife, otherwise I guess he can give you his wife.

But this Los Angeles Laker, his last name is Xie now."

O'Neal:

After talking for a long time, I went there and still kneeled down to beg for food!

O'Neal, a child-tempered guy, was a little angry.

how?

In the eyes of your logo man, I, the invincible shark, can only be the second child?

Then you are no different from the mob in Orlando!

O'Neal hung up the phone, and Logo became nervous.

Logo understands the importance of the atmosphere in the locker room, and the situation where 1+1 is less than 2 like that of Barkley and Shea cannot happen again.

Therefore, regarding the core status, Logo must first make it clear to the sharks.

He knew that Shark didn't want the second child, but now, he could meet the condition of "big market + 100 million yuan contract".

Just the Lakers family!

There is still hope for the Lakers!

As a result, things took a 180° turn the next day.

Because that afternoon, in Atlanta, O'Neal suddenly announced:

"I will take my talents to the East Coast. From today on, I officially become a member of the New York Knicks!"

New Yorkers earned 112 million in 7 years and won the Deep Sea Shark!

The Knicks have been holding back their big moves, and like Logo, they haven't leaked any information.

In fact, according to original history, the Knicks were very interested in Sharks in the summer of 1996.

It's just that they were unwilling to give up Ewing at the time, thus unable to free up salary space to eat the Sharks.

But this history has changed dramatically because of the Knicks. Ewing has long been gone, so the Knicks have been quietly busy with transactions in the past few days, quietly freeing up more salary space.

Then, he ate the shark directly!

In addition to the 100-million-yuan contract that the Sharks are coveting, the Knicks also guaranteed that as long as O'Neal comes to New York, they can immediately give him a 15-million-yuan endorsement contract with the Sheraton Hotel.

Of course, this is completely compliant. If the Sheraton Hotel is willing to give it, the league can’t punish it, right?

What else can I say? This is the superiority of the big ball market!

The Knicks recruited O'Neal on the sidelines, but there was nothing Stern could do about it.

Of course, the Lakers also have a big market and a billion-dollar contract.

What prompted O'Neal to make his decision was the Knicks' assurance: "This team has and only has a core of Shark! Kobe? Don't worry about Shaq, he is just a high school student!"

In this way, O'Neal officially settled in New York. At the press conference, the stingy Shark did not forget to mock Pence:

"Since he wants to be the highest-paid player on the team, well, good luck to you, brother, and see you on the field!"

Soon, the reporter asked O'Neal again: "I heard that the Lakers also recruited you. Is this true?"

O'Neal nodded: "It's true, but rather than joining, I want to defeat Shay and the Lakers with my own hands!"

Good guy, the logo refers to good guy.

It is said that a man's temperament is linked to his little brother, but sharks don't do this.

As for Shay, he was even more surprised.

So

Did OK Group move to New York in this history?

Damn it, how can we continue to be together as a team? You two have a bad fate!

O'Neal thought that if he went to New York, he would be a local emperor for the rest of his life.

Wake up, there are poisonous snakes around you!

In this way, the biggest fish of this offseason was finally picked up by the Knicks.

And soon, the Knicks made the next move: signing Clifford Robinson for 36 million in three years.

They've been waiting for the Sharks to be in place and then used Robinson to fill the final cap space.

A four-position partner who can help the Sharks open up space inside, well, perfect!

When Robinson left, he did not forget to thank the Lakers when being interviewed by reporters. Of course, he also mentioned Shay:

"Shay is the one, always the clutch savior, the greatest player I've ever played with.

Not all stars have this quality.
