Learning in the NBA can make you a god

Chapter 526 A Villa With a Basketball Court
The operation of the Lakers management is very fast, without the slightest sloppy, and the signing of key players can be completed early, which can also stabilize people's hearts.

On July 7, local time, the Lakers held a special press conference to officially announce two consecutive signings.

The Lakers re-signed Shannon Brown for two years and $400 million.

Relatively speaking, although Li Tian's dissatisfaction with him also caused other players to ignore him, his ability is not bad, and he has a good performance on the defensive end.

For the Lakers, this signing is quite satisfactory, neither particularly good nor bad. The contract is also a short-term contract, which will not affect the long-term development of the team. The most important thing is the same price. If you want to sign with the same strength in the free market For players, it's not that easy.

Retaining the players who were traded last season also reduces the running-in between the team's players. Generally speaking, it is a good signing.

What follows is a big piece of news.

After Kobe and Li Tian communicated with the team management and coaching staff last time, Kupchak has been working non-stop.

At first, we first reached a verbal agreement with Odom. Odom was very satisfied with the contract given by the team and promised to renew the contract. He just waited for the team to perform some operations before signing the contract. The two sides reached a consensus .

"Next we will announce that we have signed a five-year, 5 million contract with Artest, a free agent!" After Kupchak announced, the reporters in the audience went crazy.

Not many reporters came today. The news they got was that the press conference of the Lakers was just a small matter. They were more concerned about some big-name players in the transfer market.

The most concerned are McGrady and Nash. After McGrady was reimbursed for the season, the Mosaic management began to think about it. If this player is sent away, they have been looking for a next home.Nash became a free agent, and many teams are very interested in him as his next home.

"God, which team can shake such a Lakers?"

When the reporter heard the news, he couldn't help thinking.Today's Lakers striker is already very strong, small forward Li Tian has a big power forward, and there are Ariza and Odom on the bench, which is a suffocating striker configuration.

Now that Artest joins, no matter what, he is a former All-Star substitute player, or DPOY is a common first-defense and second-defense lineup player. Will such a Lakers leave a way for other teams to survive?
"Hello, Mr. Mitch, Artest's signing with the Lakers is undoubtedly exciting news for the Lakers, but regarding the arrangement of Artest's position, I don't know what the Lakers are going to do?"

This issue, before the team signed the contract, has been communicated.

"I'm sorry, this needs to be decided by Phil. I'm just the general manager, not the head coach of the team. So...you will know when the new season opens!"

The meaning is obvious, but it's not convenient to answer now. The media can think whatever they like, and it has nothing to do with me.

Soon this news shocked the entire league.

Among them, the Green Army general manager Angie said in an interview that "the Lakers are cheating, and the league should stop such things from happening."

He also didn't want to think about it, what did he say when the Big Three of the Green Army had just completed the deal, and he was the one who pioneered the grouping of superstars in the past two years.

"God, I'm still thinking about whether I should lead the Mavericks and withdraw from the NBA. Facing such a Lakers, we have no power to parry!" Cuban said on social media.

This was Cuban's first reaction, but after reading the news, he also had his own calculations.Kobe's annual salary next season will be more than 2400 million. In order to stabilize the lineup, the Lakers will definitely renew Gasol during the season, and Odom's renewal will definitely be completed soon.

细数湖人前五的球员薪资，科比2400万、加索尔续约肯定不会低于1700万、拜纳姆的新合同1250万、奥多姆肯定不会太低800万以上，阿泰新合同630万左右，接下来是费舍尔、武贾西奇和沃顿都在400-550万之间。

The salaries of these players alone have exceeded the league's luxury tax threshold. Li Tian will definitely give up the contract for next season and seek a new big contract, at least 1500 to 2000 million.Coupled with this contract, the Lakers need to pay a huge luxury tax, which no team can afford.

In this way, the opportunity for the Mavericks will come. At that time, through the lobbying of the "old driver" and the maximum salary contract he offers, he can also sign first and then change. It is not that there is no chance to get Li Tian.

With the conclusion of this signing, many teams can only hold back and completely give up the idea of ​​​​chasing the championship this season.

"The Lakers Championship!"

"The Lakers reappear the dynasty!"

Many Lakers fans left comments on the Lakers official website and praised Kupchak's signing.

ESPN commented on the deal in this way, "The Lakers have completed a perfect signing. For this, we can only shout, the Lakers championship. After Artest joined, the Lakers almost locked the championship!"

Many media have made evaluations on this signing, and the worst evaluation is A. They believe that the Lakers' defensive strength has increased again.

Of course, the good news didn’t last long. On the second day, Mosaic announced that they would sign the Lakers’ two consecutive champions and replace small forward Trevor Ariza with a 5-year contract worth 3300 million yuan, which is different from Artest’s contract. Not much.

Ariza is very satisfied with this contract. He has been promised by the management of Mosaic that he will receive key training and can also receive key training.At the same time, the management of Mosaic implicitly stated that they intend to send McGrady away, and at the same time they will support Ariza and make him the core of the team's perimeter.

For these signings related to the Lakers, Li Tian and Kobe expressed their welcome and best wishes.

"The Lakers welcome you—Artest!" After Li Tian followed Artest on social media, he immediately welcomed him to join.

The same is true for Kobe @Artest "Brother, you are welcome!"

They have nothing against Ariza's signing of Mosaic, that's how the league is.

"Brother, we won two championships together, I hope you are doing well in Mosaic!" Li Tian wrote.

"Brother, although I'm a bit reluctant, congratulations!" said Kobe @Ariza.

******
The Lakers' transaction has basically been completed. After all, the starting lineup that won the championship is all retained, so it will not affect the Lakers' championship next season.

"Honey, let's go to see the house together today!"

Taylor knows that some ancient ideas of the Chinese dynasty, if married, living in a girl's house is a kind of marriage, many people don't like it very much, and she has no objection to Li Tian buying a house in Los Angeles.

"Unfortunately, Los Angeles doesn't have houses as beautiful as Tianchao, Li, what kind of house do you want to buy?"

With a smile on his face, he looked up at Li Tian.

"Well, I read the introductions of several properties before, and I picked out a total of three or four sets. You can see how you feel. If you can, let's take a look and buy them as soon as possible!"

Taylor looked at the house carefully. Every part was very nice, and it was all in her favorite style. She could feel that Li Tian chose the house with care.

While flipping through the pages, my eyes suddenly lit up, and I saw a villa with a basketball court.

"Li, how about this house?"

"Not bad, very good, the environment over there is very good, and most importantly, the law and order there is very good."

I have to sigh with emotion. Everyone says that the beautiful country is a paradise, but it is only a paradise for the rich, not a paradise for the poor. There are also many slums in the old neighborhoods, which are full of some bad things.

"Well, there is a swimming pool there, and it's still a European-style building. I like it very much, let's go and have a look!"

Taylor took Li Tian's hand, wanting to take a look at the house early.

"Okay, I'll contact Duffy now and ask him to come with us. There will be many things that need to be handled by him!"

After dialing Duffy's number, they drove towards their destination soon.

"Li, you have a good vision. This house is only about 30 minutes away from the center of Los Angeles by car. Generally, there will be no traffic jams, and the traffic is very convenient.

This is one of the most secure villa areas in Los Angeles, and the surrounding facilities are complete. The owner of this house has just listed it for sale, and many people have come to see the house. "

The real estate agent introduced the detailed information of this house.

When you come to the villa, you can see that the villa is a European-style building as a whole, and the floors are not high, only three floors high.The top is the open-air balcony. In your spare time, you can drink coffee and watch the stars, which are all good choices.

The total area of ​​the villa is about 2000 square meters. The entire villa has 13 bedrooms, a huge living room, and two kitchens.There is also a huge swimming pool outside, a rockery, and a simple basketball court on the left side of the villa.

Taylor looked at this villa and nodded frequently. The surrounding environment is very beautiful and the greening is very good.

"Great!" Taylor couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

She owns a lot of real estate, but most of them are used for investment, and not many are used for living, just a few houses.

"How about it? This house only costs 1000 million. The owner of the house wants to sell it. The price of this redundant property is indeed not very high. If you buy it in full, you can get some discounts." The agent said.

"OK! This place is really nice, the house is big enough, it's really good to live by yourself. But how much discount can be discounted, do I still need to communicate with the owner?" Li Tian immediately expressed his willingness to buy this house.

"Okay! The owner will come over in a while, and you can communicate with them."

"God, you're really Li. I thought the agent was lying to me. I'm a die-hard Lakers fan, so I purposely built a basketball court here, but it's a pity." The homeowner subconsciously touched his abdomen.

"Hahaha!" Seeing the antics of the homeowner, everyone couldn't help laughing out loud.

"Mister, hello, I like this house very much, how much money can you sell!" It was not polite.

"Well, if the full payment is made, it will cost 950 million!" the homeowner said after thinking for a moment.

He originally lived in this house by himself, but recently saw some good projects, and he was eager to sell it to make new investments.

The two sides began to negotiate the price.

"Well, 850 million!"

In the end, the two sides argued for a long time, and finally reached a deal of 880 million.
