As Ryan Hughes expected, the Cavaliers management has been discussing and preparing to find an outside helper for James in the summer. No matter whether Wang Jun wants to come or not, they will ask for a quote.

Ray Allen announced that he would leave a voice. Michael Reed had reached an agreement with the Bucks, but the contract amount had not been announced yet, and the Cavaliers had few choices in the free market.

Wang Jun chose because of the restricted Arenas terms, even if the maximum salary is paid, the contract is not too big.

Another goal is Larry Hughes, who averaged 22 points, 6.3 rebounds, 4.7 assists and 2.9 steals last season, was selected for the defensive team. The 26-year-old Hughes looks like a promising one. He should be able to ensure his form within the time of a big contract.

The Knight also has a lot of salary space.

Ilgoskas, who had a salary of 14.63 million last season, chose to cut his salary and renew his contract, with a salary of 5.5 million in five years. In the first two years, he only had an annual salary of less than 10 million, and he is already the Cavaliers' highest salary.

The only other people who have a salary of over 50,000 are veteran Eric Snow, and the Cavaliers have the money to poach anyone. Because of this, their behavior of letting Boozer off last season seemed extremely stingy.

On Tuesday, the Cavaliers and former Raptors forward Don Yell Marshall reached an agreement to sign a four-year, $20,000 contract.

Marshall played 65 games for the Raptors last season, averaging 11.5 points and 6.6 rebounds per game. On March 13 this year, Marshall made 12 of 19 three-pointers in the game against the 76ers, drawing a record of 3-pointers set by Kobe.?

Last season, the Cavaliers' lack of three-pointers was the biggest weakness. Marshall shot 41.6% from three-pointers last season and scored 151 three-pointers.

The Cavaliers have four stable scoring points, including Big Z and Guden in the inside, and the Brazilian inside Valaijo is enough to deal with the Eastern Conference team. As long as there is another outside star, the Cavaliers will become an Eastern Conference giant, and it is difficult to fail.

In the conference room, Cavaliers General Manager Danny Ferry said seriously: "I think I can give Wang Jun a maximum salary. Don't consider Hughes. Hughes does have a set of defense, flexible steps, fast hands, and can break through offensively. But his shooting is too poor, and he is definitely not a good teammate for LeBron not to shoot well."

Chris Grant, who was just hired as assistant general manager and vice president of operations, said: "LeBron definitely wants Wang Jun to join. I agree to give him a maximum salary, but judging from his performance last season, this person is very ambitious and is not satisfied with the right to play in the net team, so he may not be willing to assist LeBron. I think it's better to make a quote as soon as possible and ask LeBron to call him to ask about his ideas. Don't waste time. If he doesn't come, he will chase Hughes instead, at least there will be a replacement."

Ferry nodded, Grant was responsible for handling basketball-related matters, including drafts, trades, free agent signing, etc. He is a rookie, but his vision is not bad.

Scouts and supervisors all participated in the discussion. They agreed that Hughes could be a double-season guard and could undertake organizational tasks after LeBron left the court. If he could play a point guard, it would be helpful to the team.

Ferry called Wang Jun's agent Hughes and offered a maximum salary.

James also called Wang Jun immediately. "Wang, I won't be polite to you. I'll give you a clear message. I'll be willing to come to the Knights. If we don't come, we'll turn to attack others."

Wang Jun sighed: "Sorry. I want to go to a team that can be the core and has unlimited shooting rights. Because of this reason, I also rejected the Clippers."

"Okay." James hung up the phone without talking for a few words. He did not hide his disappointment.

He wants to be Jordan, but not every Jordan can find his own Pippen.

The Chicago Bulls management team, another team in the East, also held a meeting, intending to grab Wang Jun.

The Bulls' outside weakness is too obvious, not even a regular No. 2 position. As long as Wang Jun is signed, they can let Sinrich play the familiar point guard.

But in this way, Gordon seems dispensable. Gordon has strong attack power and won the best sixth man last season. If Wang Jun comes, how can he play? Wang Jun has no pressure to play for more than 35 minutes.

Once Wang Jun is missed, the Bulls will definitely have no chance next season and cannot defend themselves from the outside. Who can they play in the playoffs?

Lorden, Nosioni is too tall and has no confidence in shooting, so he cannot play the No. 2 position.

Unlike other teams, the Bulls had a determined attitude towards Wang Jun, and the manager called Ryan Hughes.

"Hello, Ryan, I'm John Parkson, the Bulls Manager."

"Hello, do you want a quote?"

"That's right." Paxson paused. "We plan to offer a maximum salary, and even if the net team matches the contract, we are planning to sign first and then exchange, so we must confirm that Wang Jun is willing to join the Bulls?"

If Wang Jun is unwilling to come, then the bull can only give up if he is forced to do so.

If Wang Jun is willing to come, they can negotiate with the net team with peace of mind without thinking about anything else, and at most they can take some time.

Except for Hinrich, Lorden and the others, the Bulls can be used as bargaining chips.

"I'll ask Wang Jun what he thinks and reply to you later, one day at the latest."

"Okay, I'll wait for your news."

Hughes immediately called Wang Jun to report on the situation.

Wang Jun was having lunch with Abby. "Does the Bulls? It seems good, but their lineup seems to be difficult to win the championship. It is also a swinger if it is stronger."

When Abby heard this, he smiled.

Wang Jun noticed this detail. He knew that Abby liked Chicago and had a special relationship with it.

He himself likes the Bulls very much because it is Jordan's team.

Hughes said seriously: "I don't think you should consider winning the championship, but the ball. Lolden, Nosioni's unstable shooting, can defend, and can play the No. 4 position, Hinrich is a defender who loves passing. Center Chandler is a defensive blue-collar worker, and you must be the number one scorer if you go. I suggest you leave the Nets and join the Bulls."

"Isn't Ben Gordon still there?" Wang Jun asked.

"The Bulls mean that even if the Nets match the contract, they will propose to sign first and then exchange. You can only get the middle class in the first year, and 80% of them are to send Gordon to match the draft pick. How can the Nets get another swinger? Excellent double-athlete guards and insiders are what they need."

The key point is that Gordon is cheap and he has three years left for his rookie contract.

Hughes' analysis is very consistent with the style of the Nets boss's work. If Wang Jun is let go, the Nets will definitely not want to, but the transaction is likely to be successful.

After the transaction, someone in the net team will grab points in the second quarter, and there will be draft picks to be selected and trained in the future. The outside offensive firepower will be strong.

Bulls Wang Jun and Sinrich are partnered with defense and three-pointers, and substitute guard Du Hong can take on the heavy responsibility of organizing offense. Gordon is the standard No. 2 playing style, which is why the Bulls will send him away instead of Du Hong.

"Wait." Wang Jun asked Abby with the phone: "I am interested in the bulls and think it is an opportunity. Do you think it's OK?"

Abby nodded. Since Wang Jun wanted to go, she would be dragging her back if she said anything to stop her.

Wang Jun immediately said to Hughes: "I've decided, reply to the Bulls, I accept the offer."

The Bulls are young and promising as a whole. He has the ball rights when he goes, so why not?

And he thinks there is a special meaning to go there, and he wants to recreate the glory of the Bulls during the Jordan era.
