Chapter 1030 Decided to do it again
In fact, there are many big fish in the free market this summer, but Xie Kai is the biggest fish, without a doubt.
But those who want to get Xie Kai have to weigh it, that is, there is a high probability that they will not get it.Obviously, he is most likely to stay in the Thunder, where he has his good brother Westbrook, a familiar system and teammates, and the most important point - he has the opportunity to hit 4 consecutive championships.
So unless the Thunder don't say goodbye, the possibility of him staying is much, much greater than the possibility of him leaving.
For Xie Kai, it must not be money that can attract him to join.Because he can get the top salary anywhere.What he cares about should be the improvement of personal honor, emotion, big cities and big markets, and money comes last.
In addition to Xie Kai, the big fish in the free market this year include Durant, Facial Paralysis, Irving, Jimmy Butler, Buddha, Chasing Eggs, Kemba Walker and so on.
Durant suffered a serious Achilles tendon injury, but this still does not prevent many teams with space from pursuing him frantically.So what if he rests for a season?It's a big deal to give up a season!For many teams trying to rise, giving up a season doesn't matter at all, as long as they can get superstars, they are willing to give up more.
It can be seen that the current NBA team wins the championship. If you want to make a difference in the playoffs and look forward to it, it will definitely not work without superstars.If Xie Kai and other big fish can be obtained, many teams trying to hit the championship are willing to overdraw their future.Everyone wants to gamble, the wretched development is too maddening, and if you can't wait for the real cornerstone, there is no way out for rebuilding.
In a basketball game, a team can only have 5 people, which expands the superstar's ability infinitely. Think about the two top salaries in your hand are Xie Kai and James, and the two opposite top salaries are Wiggins and Don Si, around their respective lineups, which side do you think will win?
Xie Kai hasn't jumped out of the contract yet, but many teams have already contacted his agent.Everyone is eager to know whether he will renew his contract.If the contract is renewed, everyone can focus on other free agents and start another plan. If the contract is not renewed, then they will pursue him crazily.
Xie Kai is so versatile, so it is very easy to build a team around him.He is tolerant and easy to get along with, so there is no need to worry that he will not be able to cooperate with other superstars.
Every NBA team is making space, ready to welcome the favor of the big fish.This must be done in advance, otherwise even if you get the chance to sign Big Fish, you will be attacked by other teams if you have no space.
Xie Kai didn't care about the turmoil in the free agent market, he let his agent handle everything.He is now at home in Oklahoma City with his wife and children, enjoying the family happiness.
June 6 is an unusual day for the citizens of Oklahoma City, because on this day, the city will usher in the Thunder's 16 consecutive championship parade celebrations.A large number of citizens went to the streets to participate in the celebration. Although some were not basketball fans, everyone was in the same mood.
The Big Three rode on the same parade float and celebrated this happy moment with the citizens and friends at the scene.
The noise and laughter at the scene made Xie Kai very happy. He said to Westbrook and Paojiao on the float: "Brothers, let's do it again! I really want to see the smiling faces of these people here this time next year." !"
Xie Kai made it very clear that he wants to stay on the team next season.The outside world has been rumored that he will jump out of the contract and join the Los Angeles Lakers.
Westbrook and Paojiao knew the meaning of Xie Kai's words. They also thought that Xie Kai might leave before. Even the good brother Westbrook didn't think that Xie Kai would definitely stay.Los Angeles is a super big city and Xie Kai’s hometown. Now that he has won three consecutive championships in Oklahoma City, he chooses to leave at this time. No one will say anything about him. Instead, they will bless him, because from a business perspective, Los Angeles Nothing can compare to Oklahoma City.
And if you go to the Lakers, you don't necessarily have no chance of winning the championship. Although the Lakers didn't make the playoffs last season, this team has James and salary space. A superstar (such as thick eyebrows) or an ordinary star + immediate combat power, plus some useful veterans with a basic salary, this team will instantly become the favorite to win the championship.
And hearing that Xie Kai was willing to stay, Westbrook and Paojiao were very moved.This shows that he wants to continue to cooperate with them, and wants to win 4 consecutive championships, instead of choosing to leave for business or other factors.
The relationship between Pickled Pepper and Xie Kai is not as close as that between Westbrook and Xie Kai, but Westbrook never asked Xie Kai about his offseason plans in private.
Westbrook is a very measured person. He knows that it is not easy to ask about these things, and Xie Kaihui will tell him what he wants to say.Unexpectedly, Xie Kai has already said such an important matter so directly on such an occasion before the draft has even started.
Both Westbrook and Paojiao renewed their contracts with the Thunder last year, so as long as they are not traded (basically unlikely), they will still play in the Thunder jersey next season, but Xie Kai is different, so Xie Kai said this It makes them very excited. With the current state and ability of the three of them, it seems very likely that they will win again next season and win 3 consecutive championships.
Both Westbrook and Paojiao nodded and replied excitedly: "Okay!"
The three hit it off and decided to continue working together, and about this, Thunder general manager Presti didn't even know about it.
There is indeed a problem with the salary situation of the Thunder next season, but Xie Kai, the No.
The fans of the Thunder have been thinking about thanking the extension, but they don't know that on June 6th, their MVP has decided to continue to fight side by side with them.
Of course, Westbrook and Paojiao, who knew that Xie Kai wanted to renew the contract, did not spread the news. It is still too early.
The 2019 draft will be held on June 6 at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York.
The 2018-19 season NBA Awards Ceremony was held on June 6 at the Barker Hangar Center in Los Angeles. The awards included regular season MVP, Best Rookie, Best Sixth Man, Best Defensive Player, Most Improved Player and Best Coach Six. Big regular season awards, plus other awards like community care awards and sportsmanship awards.
Xie Kai was invited to attend this awards ceremony. Obviously, he will be the most favorable contender for the MVP of the regular season, or even none of them.
The three regular season MVP nominees are Xie Kai, Antetokounmpo and Harden. Xie Kai has crushed the other two no matter in terms of personal data or team record.The only advantage Harden and Antetokounmpo have over Xie Kai is that they haven't won the MVP yet. If the league doesn't want Xie Kai to go three consecutive times, this is their only chance.
