This Forward is Not Serious Chapter 581

"You don't want me to go to Los Angeles, do you?"

Wade looked at James and said.

James didn't answer directly, but laughed.

Seeing James' reaction, Wade knew that he should have guessed.

It's just this guess that didn't make him happy, but... embarrassed.

Yes, difficult.

In this year in history, Wade played in the Bulls and formed a "three-no-shoot" combination with Rondo and Butler.

None of the three have a stable three-pointer ability, resulting in an unprecedented crowding of the team's offensive space.

After only one season of cooperation, the team management had to dismantle the combination, Rondo left the team as a free agent, and Wade also completed a buyout with the Bulls.

But now, it is completely different from the situation in history.

Although he didn't play well in the Heat last season, he is far from the point in history that he had to be bought out.

And he is now signed with the Heat on a 2+1 contract, that +1 is a player option, and he has at least two years left on the contract.

Besides the current situation of the Lakers, the salary space is gone, and the middle class is also given to Curry. Even if Wade wants to go, he will get the basic salary.

This means that he will lose a lot financially.

So whether it is from a personal point of view or an economic point of view, he will suffer a huge loss by going to the Lakers.

Of course, he also has reasons to go. In addition to James' factors, there is another important point:

Like Kobe, he also has the idea of fighting on the big stage before retiring.

They are similar to each other, he and Kobe can become friends as opponents, and they have a lot in common in character.

But, obviously, this is like putting a scale in your heart, and the chips on both ends of the scale are not equal.

"Dwyane, I know this will make you a little embarrassed, but you also know, and you don't know what means that guy Lin used to trick Kobe into Brooklyn. You don't know how much it hit me."

After seeing Wade's embarrassed expression, James said with a complicated expression, and he couldn't help sighing at the end.

His expression at this time, if matched with the words of some fans on social media before: Why is the whole world targeting me!

Wade looked at James with a sigh of relief and sighed. When his expression became more embarrassed, he couldn't help but sigh.

This wave of James is indeed a bit of moral kidnapping.

After all, no matter what James said, it was James' own business and had nothing to do with him.

This is not to say that a good relationship between the two can make him resolute. There are too many things involved. He has to consider not only his career, but also his family.

Sighing, seeing that Wade hadn't spoken yet, James didn't intend to give up, but then opened his mouth again.

"Dwyane, remember our first year in New York? That was the first time we teamed up and we won the championship in our first year. What an incredible and wonderful experience, it was the most memorable season of my life. "

It can be seen that when he came to Miami this time, he was determined to win for Wade.

However, it is understandable that there are basically no strong players in the free market now.

If the Nets and the Lakers were a balance between the two ends of the balance before, Kobe joining the Nets is to tilt the balance towards the Nets. He must find a weight that can weigh about the same as Kobe. There is no such thing in the free market, then We can only start from good brother Wade.

Wade's embarrassed expression changed at this time, and he also began to show a look of nostalgia.

Who doesn't miss it!

That season was James' most memorable, and it's also what he misses Wade most.

At that time, the three of them formed a team and reached the top in the first year. As the so-called teenagers were in high spirits, they were all ready to have a three-peat dynasty like the Lakers back then.

Although the subsequent development has not been as they wished, it is precisely because of this that it is even more commendable.

Seeing that what he said had worked, James continued to speak:

"Those days are really nostalgic, so you don't want to do it again? We were in New York last time, this time in Los Angeles, and we did great things in two of the greatest cities in the country, and that's what happens when we retire. What a memorable event!"

When James said this, it was all emotion.

He has known Wade for so long and knows that Wade is a very emotional person, the kind of person who can give up a lot of things for his feelings, so he came.

Wade was moved, and his expression was completely different from before.

At this stage of his career, Kobe wants to win another championship before retiring. Would he not want to?

You must know that unlike in history, he now has only one championship like James!

It sounds good to have a champion, but for them, it's really too little!

"And Dwyane, don't you want to have another last dance with Kobe on the highest stage'?"

James put down the drink in his hand, sat up directly, and said expectantly.

This time, it hit Wade's heart.

"I……"

But Wade's words came to his mouth again.

It can be seen that Wade wants to agree, but after all, he still has concerns.

"Don't worry Dwyane, I know it will take time to make this decision, and as a brother I can totally understand it, but I really hope to play with you again and work together for our second championship together."

When James said this, he got up and went to Wade's side, reached out and patted Wade on the shoulder.

This is directly forcing Wade to have nowhere to go.

Wade showed an embarrassed but polite smile, and finally nodded:

"I need to go back and discuss with Gabrielle, you know."

"Yes, remember, we will always be brothers!"

James didn't rush him, just nodded with a smile, and then patted Wade on the shoulder again.

Then he started chatting about some other topics.

But Wade's attention was not on those topics at this time, and all he thought about was how to make a choice.

"Do you think Dwayne will come?"

On the private plane to Boston, Rich Paul sat opposite James and asked James.

Kobe Bryant's move to Brooklyn, although James thinks it is a good thing, but that is his personal aspect, it is definitely not a good thing for the Lakers to become stronger opponents.

So under this background, and when the free market is coming to an end, James must try his best to use his personal charm to enhance the strength of the Lakers' lineup.

"I know Dwyane, he'll come."

James shook the red wine glass in his hand and said with a pleasant expression.

He knows Wade best.

Moreover, Wade is about to retire.

For a player of their caliber, the money has been made enough that they have to work together as business partners after they retire.

It doesn't take long to earn back the millions of dollars lost in a buyout.

And even if that aside, Wade is still far from retirement age, signing a one-year contract with the Lakers, and winning a championship next season will be able to renew a big contract.

Seeing James' confident expression, Fu Paul was relieved now.

Now Kobe is not as strong as Wade because he retired.

If this wave of recruiting is successful, the Lakers' strength will be improved to a higher level, and the goal of their trip to the East is not just Wade alone.

This time they went to Boston, they were looking for a brokenhearted person.

The two had a drink on the plane, and after a short nap, the plane landed in Boston for a few games.

After the two got off the plane, someone was already waiting for them there and took them all the way to the outskirts of Boston.

In a private apartment on the outskirts, James and Rich Paul met the second person on their eastern trip.

Isaiah Thomas.

More precisely, it should be called Isaiah Thomas Jr., so as to distinguish it from the previous "Smiling Assassin" Thomas.

Thomas had been doing well in the Green Army before, but unlike in history, the Celtics did not have a good record. In addition, Thomas, who was less than 1.75 meters tall, was a good defensive player. The big disadvantage has caused him to be in an even more embarrassing situation than Little Curry.

In a sense, he's a bit like Bunch Wells back in the day.

Although he did not say the classic "Angie will deliver a truckload of money to my door" as in the history, he still has high expectations for his psychological price.

Because although the record is not good, but in terms of statistics, he has not been bad for the Celtics in the past few years.

But as I said before, his height disadvantage is too great.

Boykins and Nate Robinson also played well in those years, but they never won big contracts in their careers.

So now Thomas Jr. is really second to Bunch Wells and wants money, but no one is giving him money.

"Isaiah, we're missing our first point guard, and the Lakers next season will be a big stage where you'll get what you want."

James really understands the point of speaking.

Lobbying Wade is playing the emotional card, and lobbying Thomas is the interest card.

All Thomas wants is money.

In the current situation, it is no longer realistic for Thomas to get money at this time, because to put it bluntly, he has not proven himself on a higher stage.

This is completely different from when he scored 53 points in a single game in the playoffs.

So he will need a bigger stage.

"And don't worry, I have communicated with Coach McMillan. He recognizes your strength very much and will give you enough playing time in the new season."

James called hot iron, and then increased the offensive.

Although he knew that what he said was actually nonsense at all, he was not sure that Thomas would go to the Lakers, how could he possibly mention this to McMillan.

But this is lobbying ability. It's impossible for Thomas to go to the Lakers and ask McMillan to verify this kind of thing?

So this kind of empty cheque can come as a big cake.

Sure enough, after these two waves of interest cards were played, Thomas basically nodded without any hesitation.

In fact, he doesn't have much choice. After all, he can't get better in the contract. Only the Nets are bigger than the Lakers, but the Nets didn't want him.

"Welcome to the Lakers, bro!"

James saw Thomas nodded, reached out and pulled him off the sofa, and gave him a big hug.

Coming out of Thomas Jr.'s house, James felt like he was about to float.

This wave of Wade + Thomas, all joined with a minimum salary, the Lakers' strength next season will be unprecedentedly terrifying.

He even felt that McMillan would have "happy troubles" next season for whether the starting shooting guard is Wade or Curry!

And his trip to the East isn't over yet.

Next stop, he will return to the city he knows all too well: Cleveland!

James owns properties in many parts of North America, and of course Cleveland.

Of course, because of the first two bad experiences, he is not as popular here as before.

They didn't make much fanfare, but quietly went to the villa complex in Cleveland.

Here, they meet the third and last person they will meet on this trip to the East: Anderson Varejao!

Varejao, who spent most of his time with the Cavaliers, followed James to the Warriors last season.

It's just that he has been laid off before the season is over, and he is basically in a semi-retired state now.

However, this did not prevent James from coming to him.

Because his wave is to follow the example of the Celtics looking for PJ Brown.

The Lakers need an experienced interior bench, as well as a locker room leader and a voice in his place.

Originally, Shumpert was the best role, but he had a contract with the Cavaliers, so among the rest, Varejao was undoubtedly the best candidate.

Varejao was surprised by James' invitation, but he accepted it straight away.

Because he is no longer wanted after he was waived by the Warriors, and he is already planning to retire.

Now that James suddenly came to give him a job, how could he refuse!

And with James backing him, he will also have a voice in the Lakers. He likes this kind of role so much.

By the time he got on the plane from Cleveland back to Los Angeles, James already felt as if he had just finished the sauna, and he was very comfortable.

Now that the Lakers have everything in place, the Nets are completely true.

What Lin Ying, Durant, Rose, Kobe, Carter, are they very strong?

Well, it is a bit, but the Lakers are also very strong!

Look at the Lakers, he, Davis, Paul, Wade, Chandler, Thomas, just got up, the front, side and back are all true!

"Ricky, I think my life is going to have a real turning point here!"

Sipping the red wine again, James' face seemed to be flushed.

"Will do."

Fu Paul nodded firmly and said.

James has been so back in recent years, even if it is a turn, it should be his turn!

Three days later, the curtain on the free market has truly fallen.

At this time, James received a reply from Wade:

"I'm sorry LeBron, you know I really want to go to Los Angeles to play with you, but Gabriel doesn't want me to do that, so, come on, we'll always be brothers!" ps: Today's state is not very good, yesterday was more I owe it, I will try to make it up tomorrow
