The nearly seven-month suspension is definitely a huge impact on the NBA.
??Especially for the surrounding industries built by the owners around the team, it has a huge impact.
The lockout has finally ended, but before the NBA has begun to slow down, let alone slow down, it has ushered in a disaster that is even more terrifying than the lockout - Zhang Hao may retire!
At first, t.n.t sports channel, which was playing the video of last year's finals, suddenly cut off the program and reported a breaking news - Zhang Hao, the FMVP of the past two years, proposed a trade application to the Lakers. If the Lakers did not agree, Zhang Hao Will choose to retire!
Kenny Anderson and Jason Williams left the Lakers one after another due to salary issues. After Jason Williams announced that he had signed a four-year, $44 million contract with the Nets, the Lakers had no intention of matching the contract. After the news came to light, some media speculated that there might be problems within the Lakers.
The "Nets Big Three" combination of Zhang Hao, Kenny Anderson, and Jason Williams has become a symbol of the Lakers.
After the contracts of these two people expired, they received high-paying offers from other teams and left the teams one after another. At this time, the signs were already showing.
¡°Then Zhang Hao didn¡¯t go to the Time Warner training facility for two days in a row, and there were reports that the Lakers gathered people to appease Zhang Hao.
When Zhang Hao was alone, he did not express his views on this matter to anyone, and seemed to be putting up with it.
But I didn¡¯t expect the Lakers management¡¯s appeasement to mess things up!
Under normal circumstances, such a meeting should be very hidden and the content will not be exposed.
But many details have been revealed.
"If we hadn't traded you from the Nets, you wouldn't be here today"
Jim Buss¡¯s words went viral all over the world!
Of course, it seemed that there was still room for change in this matter. Zhang Hao did not accept an interview afterwards, and it seemed that he did not want to continue to escalate the situation.
But the next day, when the Lakers training camp began, Zhang Hao did not attend the media day at the Great Western Forum Arena. Instead, he appeared at the game between Oxford Academy in Los Angeles and Inglewood High School and Oxford Academy.
Now, things are really serious!
According to gossip media reports, after receiving the news at the NBA headquarters in New York, David Stern immediately wanted to carry a chair to Los Angeles to go shopping with Jim Buss.
It¡¯s a pity that the boss chair is too heavy to lift.
?????????? Originally, people still looked at this matter as amusement, because Zhang Hao did not tear his face in private. People thought that Zhang Hao was just making trouble to vent his dissatisfaction because of Jim Bass¡¯s arrogant remarks.
Now people know that the Stone Buddha is the Stone Buddha. He is ruthless and doesn¡¯t talk much. He doesn¡¯t play tricks. Just like he said, he went directly to become a coach.
That night, Lakers owner Jerry Buss took Magic, O'Neal, the logo man and others to Zhang Hao's house. It turned out that Zhang Hao's house was empty and the construction team was doing renovation measurements.
After asking about it, I learned that because Zhang Hao¡¯s child was about to be born, Zhang Hao¡¯s mother came to the United States and moved to a larger house in Beverly Hills.
¡¡
The Lakers are really panicking now. For the first time, they are so unwilling to become the focus of the world.
But now they are the focus of the world.
Last summer, Zhang Hao had just helped the Lakers complete two consecutive championships. Except for George Mikan, who led the Lakers to three consecutive championships, the best results achieved by other super giants in the history of the Lakers were two consecutive championships.
And this two consecutive championships are stronger than the other two consecutive championships, with 73 wins in the regular season and 15 wins and 0 losses in the playoffs. It is not an exaggeration to say that the Lakers last season were the strongest team in a single season in history.
During this period, Zhang Hao¡¯s role was irreplaceable.
In the summer, during the lockout, Zhang Hao led the Chinese team to defeat the American team, won third place in the World Championships, and gained countless fans in Europe.
At this time, the Lakers forced Zhang Hao to retire!
We are doing it for your own good - the Lakers' operation on Zhang Hao was regarded by t.n.t sports channel as a popular star No, it was the popular commentator Charles Barkley who extracted the essence.
But what has been discussed the most is the arrogance of the Bass family.
With the end of the training camp and the start of the preseason, Zhang Hao still has not returned to the team. Everyone understands that there is absolutely no room for turning around on this matter.
The knife has been placed on the Lakers' neck. Should he chop off an arm or his head?
Zhang Hao is really planning to retire, and he only turned 22 at the beginning of the month. Even if he comes back after the end of this contract, he will only be 24 and a half years old. No matter where he goes by then, he will be the same.p; Of course, Xiao Ming, you can aim to become the most dominant center.
But there is no need to worry. You are still young and you can make a decision after the age of 20. Your next priority is to choose whether to play professional games or go to college. You can do this by competing in professional games or college games, as well as next year's Olympic Games. , wait for the competition in many aspects, think about it carefully, and then make a decision.
No matter which direction, I will help you improve yourself. "
Zhang Hao's words made Yao Ming's thinking clearer. The excitement brought by the idea of ??"I want to deal with O'Neal" began to fade. In fact, he had a clearer understanding of the matter of "career".
It is not to deal with a certain player, but to make a choice that is more beneficial to yourself.
¡¡
Zhang Hao's departure from the Lakers has become a foregone conclusion. Now the media and fans are focusing on this matter, which is where Zhang Hao is going.
At this time, those teams that were in contact with the Lakers all wanted to take advantage.
This kind of situation has really happened before. In 1982, Moses Malone, who had just won the regular season MVP, wanted to change teams. At that time, Moses Malone became a restricted free agent, and the Rockets had the right to match other teams. offered a contract, but Moses Malone was determined to leave, so the Rockets could only discuss sign-and-trade with the team that made the offer.
But those teams that made the offer wanted nothing. In the end, the Rockets only got a first-round pick and Caldewell-Jones. The first-round pick ended up being the last pick in the first round of 1983, Caldewell. In the 1981-82 season, he only averaged 7.9 points, 8.7 rebounds and 1.8 blocks per game.
And Moses Malone went to the 76ers and joined forces with Julius Erving, Andrew Toney, Maurice Cheeks and others. Moses Malone completed the MVP achievement of changing teams and helped the 76ers win the championship. , that championship was the only championship won by another team when the Lakers and Celtics won the championship in the first eight years of the 1980s.
Jerry Buss and Logo Man tried to exchange Zhang Hao for players of equivalent value, which required at least 2-3 All-Stars, or two All-Stars plus draft picks. Such requirements met with obstacles everywhere.
Originally, the Lakers' two consecutive championships have become a thorn in the side of each team, and it is impossible to help the Lakers overcome the predicament at this time.
The Celtics are very interesting. They made an offer for Kenny Anderson and three future first-round picks. All three first-round picks are unprotected. This is already the best offer. If the Lakers are willing , they could trade two of their three first-rounders for Anthony Walker.
This time the Lakers refused.
In desperation, Old Buss could only take back the decision-making power from Jim Buss and the logo man, and handed it over to the more capable eldest daughter Jenny Buss.
At this time, a turning point soon came
On April 10th, it was the end of the regular season, and things finally came to an end!
The Los Angeles Lakers and the Seattle SuperSonics reached a trade agreement. The SuperSonics sent Gary Payton, Billy Owens, Dale Ellis, and a 2000 first-round lottery protected pick to get the Lakers' Zhang Hao!
After this deal was submitted to the league, the league was not as active as before. After several rounds of discussions with the league's top brass, David Stern made a decision and decided to agree to the deal.
But the league put forward a requirement to the SuperSonics and Zhang Hao - Zhang Hao's future contract renewal salary must be in line with market value.
ReasonStarbucks owner Howard Schultz acquired 71% of the Sonics after the lockout and became the majority owner of the Sonics.
Zhang Hao and the Sonics agreed to the conditions proposed by the league without hesitation.
On April 13, after nearly three months of long tug-of-war, NBA officially announced that Zhang Hao will officially join the SuperSonics after the end of this season!
