Chapter 315 The Spineless Knicks Management
Chapter 309

"RAY, you're here..." Just after entering Durant's room, Durant didn't greet Dolan immediately, but directly greeted Lei Feng.

Lei Feng nodded, not knowing what to say for a moment, what happened to Durant?
"Curry and the others just left, let's go into the room and talk..." Under the leadership of Durant, everyone entered the room.

I have to say that Du's second son really enjoys it. He lives alone in a super luxurious presidential suite with an area of ​​several hundred square meters, and the scenery of Miami Beach is just outside the window!

"Nice room!" Lei Feng nodded in praise.

"Haha, do you like this room? RAY, I just rented it for a month, and I might leave in a few days, why don't you come and live?" Durant continued with that weird smile, which made Lei Feng's back A layer of goosebumps rose.

……

It may also be seen that there is a conflict between Lei Feng and Zen Master, so this time to recruit Durant, Dolan did not call on Zen Master Jackson directly, but brought Fisher, Lei Feng and a few members of the team. Here comes management.

Dolan is not an idiot. No matter how powerful Zen Master Jackson is, it is absolutely impossible to get a player of Lei Feng's level in the free market. Will not hesitate to give up Zen Master Jackson at the first time!
"Kevin, you should also know why we are here, just like the Warriors, we are all looking forward to you joining our New York Knicks!"

"There are many benefits to joining the Knicks. I'm afraid you know this very well. It will definitely be more cost-effective than joining the Warriors!"

"Besides, we have already killed the Warriors without Anthony. If you join, I can guarantee that next season, you will definitely have an extra championship ring!"

The team's scout manager took the lead first, and came up to analyze the benefits of joining the Knicks for Durant!
Durant nodded. Naturally, he was very clear about these reasons. Joining the Knicks would definitely bring a lot of benefits, especially the championship that he dreamed of.

In this case, Durant must be more inclined to join the Knicks, which is why he looked at Lei Feng with that weird smile just now, which is a flattering smile to be precise.

In the just-concluded season, Lei Feng is considered to be a complete super god. The strength he has shown is definitely qualified to stabilize the strength of the league's number one small forward, and even No.1 in the league!
And Durant naturally knows very well that whether he joins the Knicks or the Warriors, he will not be able to become the boss of the team in the end. If he joins the Warriors, Curry is the boss, or the spiritual leader of the team!

And joining the Knicks, Lei Feng is definitely the boss of the team, the absolute cornerstone!

Now Durant really wants to figure out how to allocate the positions between Anthony and himself if he joins the Knicks.

"Kevin, come to New York, we welcome you, let's build a dynasty with us!" Dolan also said.

If Durant is signed, Dolan has strong confidence that he can build a dynasty team!

So for Durant, Dolan is also very eager!
"Thank you, Mr. Dolan, but..."

"Can I chat with RAY alone for a while, just for a while!" Durant suddenly made a request that made people feel inexplicable. Even Lei Feng was confused, and wanted to chat with himself alone? !

"Okay! Then let's go back first, you two young people have a good chat!"

"Both of you are the top three small forwards in the league today, and I am looking forward to your cooperation!" Dolan stood up and agreed to Durant's request without saying a word!

Durant proposed the idea of ​​having a chat with Lei Feng alone. In Dolan's view, this greatly increased the possibility of Durant joining the Knicks!
If Durant had no interest in joining the Knicks, he certainly wouldn't have made such an inexplicable request!
……

Everyone left, only Lei Feng and Durant were left in the room.

"Man, what do you want to talk to me about? I welcome you to join the Knicks!" Lei Feng asked with a smile.

Lei Feng is not stupid, he is very clear about Durant's strength. In today's league, apart from the freak Lei Feng, I am afraid that Durant is the one with the strongest offensive firepower at the small forward position. Lei Feng naturally wants to Need a teammate like this to enhance the team's hope of winning the championship!
"RAY, my brother, your performance this season has been incredible. Seriously, I am looking forward to joining forces with you!" Durant praised Lei Feng with a smile on his face.

"Kevin, you're talking to me alone, don't you just want to praise me..." Lei Feng rolled his eyes and said.

"Haha, that's not true. I mainly want to inquire about Anthony. You know, if I go to the Knicks, I may overlap with Anthony, so..."

"I want to ask, what is the Knicks going to do with Anthony's contract?!"

Durant asked directly about Anthony's contract!
At present, the Knicks have not spread any news about Anthony's contract, so Durant does not know at the moment whether the Knicks are going to renew the Knicks.

If it is known from Lei Feng that the Knicks have no intention of renewing Anthony, then Durant will definitely sign with the Knicks as soon as possible!
And if the Knicks are going to sign Anthony with a long-term contract with a maximum salary, then Durant has to consider whether he chooses the Knicks or the Warriors!

If he joins the Warriors, Durant's style of play can perfectly fit with the Warriors players. He is a player who is good at attacking with the ball and off the ball. Therefore, under the Warriors' system, he can definitely play well. Get up, feel like a duck to water!

But if it is in the Knicks, if the team renews Anthony, with Anthony and Lei Feng, two big players who have the right to eat the ball, then Durant will probably only be able to play off the ball, and top stars play off the ball? !Even if Durant is willing, the interest groups behind him will not be willing!

If there is no Anthony, even if Lei Feng will occupy a lot of possessions, then Durant can accept it. After all, he has cooperated with Westbrook for so many years, and he has never seen what kind of scene...

Lei Feng's strength is so much stronger than Westbrook, so Durant is confident to win the championship with Lei Feng.

……

Lei Feng frowned. It turned out that Durant had this idea and wanted to find out about Anthony's signing.

How should I reply to Durant? !

Durant's meaning is already obvious, that is, if the Knicks don't renew Anthony's contract, he will definitely join the Knicks without saying a word!

"Kevin, do you want to hear the truth or lies?" Lei Feng is not the kind of person who is good at falsehood and deception. At this moment, he is going to have a direct showdown with Durant.

"Huh? Let's hear the lies first..." Durant felt bad.

"Okay, the lie is that the Knicks will not renew Anthony, or renew Anthony, and then Anthony is willing to play as a substitute in the new season!"

"Do you think there is such a possibility?" Lei Feng asked Durant back.

Durant was taken aback. There are indeed many big fish in the free market this season, but Anthony is also a big fish. The Knicks will not be willing to give up Anthony, and Anthony will play as a substitute?Although Durant doesn't have much contact with Anthony, he obviously knows that this possibility is almost impossible!
"The truth?" Durant asked with a melancholy face.

"The truth is that Anthony will definitely sign with the Knicks, and with a maximum salary. Even if the Knicks are unwilling, I will definitely let them sign Anthony. Believe me, I have the right to speak!" Lei Feng said confidently .

Durant nodded. He is also a top star in the league, so he naturally knows how a top star has the right to speak in the team, not to mention a genius like Lei Feng!

In Durant's impression, the Knicks' management or team style is just spineless. When Jordan became a free agent, the league wanted to expand Jordan's influence, or want to keep Jordan in the NBA. A strange rule, which only applies to Jordan, is also called the special case of Jordan.

At that time, when the team's salary cap was only about 3000 million yuan, the Knicks were willing to offer Jordan an annual salary of [-] million yuan...

Today, Jordan's annual salary will reach hundreds of millions of dollars...

For stars, the Knicks have a special desire. In order to get stars, they sometimes do things that can even be said to be low-key. This can also explain why the Knicks have signed so many poison contracts in team history...

The Knicks want the thorny star that other teams don't want, and they will give them a big contract!

Other teams don't want seriously injured or late stars, but the Knicks want them, and they are still willing to give big contracts!
The Knicks can be so submissive when dealing with those semi-disabled stars. It is conceivable that Lei Feng, who was like a god last season, may make any request to the Knicks management, and they will eagerly agree to it.

Therefore, Durant believed in Lei Feng's "truth" just now!

"If you want to come to the Knicks, it's not impossible to adapt. For example, me, you and Anthony will start at the same time. It is completely feasible for the three of us to play at position 123 or 234!"

Lei Feng has some conflicts in his heart now. On the one hand, he really wants to recruit Durant, and on the other hand, he doesn't want to tell some lies to trick Durant into joining the Knicks.

After listening to Lei Feng's words, Durant frowned and began to think!
There was silence between the two, and Lei Feng drank the coffee in front of him, waiting for Durant's reply.

After 5 minutes, Durant's eyes became firm, as if he had an idea in his heart.

"RAY, let me continue to think about this matter, I think I will give you a positive answer in a few days!" Durant said to Lei Feng.

Lei Feng nodded. Judging what Durant meant, he might be close to joining the Knicks...

But this matter is not easy to say, maybe Durant is pretending to be reserved, anyway, Durant will give an answer in a few days anyway, Lei Feng is not in a hurry!
If a few days later, Durant announced that he would sign with the Knicks, Lei Feng would be very happy!
And if Durant announces joining the Warriors in a few days, Lei Feng will not be disappointed...

If you can kill the warrior once, you can kill the second time!

Even if the Warriors have Durant, Lei Feng has the confidence to continue to kill the Warriors once!
Without Durant, the Knicks can't eat pigs with skin. Although there are not many big fish left in the free market, there are still many good players. The big deal is that the Knicks diversify their investments!
