NBA beast center

Chapter 333 The Possibility of Reuniting

"If...the Timberwolves choose to rebuild and want to trade me, I might want to go to the Spurs. I like their style of play and team atmosphere the most. But obviously the Spurs are almost impossible to get me in the trade market, unless I am free. Join as a player." Shou Ye said.

Beaubois felt that what Shou Ye said was true. The Spurs really didn't have enough chips to trade for his good friend. GDP is getting old, the rebuilt Timberwolves will definitely not want it, and the Spurs will not give it, which takes into account feelings and various factors.In addition to GDP, the most valuable Spurs trade is small forward Leonard.But even if they are willing to give it, will the Timberwolves agree?Taking a young center with the best team in the league for a so-called potential small forward who didn't even make an All-Star, is it too much?

The other players in the Spurs don't have much trading value, because their record has been very good, so their first-round picks are not worth much, so the transaction is basically difficult to achieve.

Many players who play in the NBA like to play for the Spurs, not to mention Shouba, and Beaubois also wants to go.

"If you stay on the team, Kevin Love must be traded. You two have overlapping positions, and his defense is really bad." Bebois said.

Shou Ye nodded. What Bubois said was indeed the truth. If Love is traded in exchange for some immediate combat power or future draft picks, then the Timberwolves have a lot of room to maneuver.With him as the core, if you trade another star or get a good batch of immediate combat power, it may not be possible to cause a storm in the West.

"Rodrigue, what are your plans?" Shou Ye asked suddenly.

Beaubois smiled, looked into the distance, and said: "I told you before, if I can't stay in the NBA, then I will return to European basketball. Go back to the place where my basketball career started. .”

Shou Ye had indeed heard him say this before, and he suddenly asked, "If the NBA can offer you a contract, would you be willing to stay?"

Beaubois replied without hesitation: "Of course, the NBA is the highest-level basketball league in the world. Of course I am willing to stay."

Shou Ye was overjoyed when he heard what he said, and then said: "If you don't sign a satisfactory contract during the offseason, I will ask the general manager to find you for a trial contract."

Beaubois really didn't expect this kind of operation: "Tom, is this okay?"

"It should be possible!" Shou Ye said with a smile.

There is indeed a rule in the NBA that players cannot interfere with the operations of the team's management, but nothing in this world is black and white, and there is a middle ground.

A superstar has enough voice to influence the operation of the team. He may not show up, but he can insinuate, and the agent can come forward to hint.

In order to please the superstar, the team management is naturally willing to meet some of his requirements.The contract that Beaubois can sign will not be very big, so if Shou Ye really comes forward, generally speaking, the team will not refuse.

What if the team refuses and scolds him for not affecting the operation of the team?That's easy, he can choose not to renew his contract and find a team that respects his wishes.

Beaubois couldn't find a good contract during the offseason of last season, and in the end he only signed a basic salary with the Mavericks.At that time, he also thought about whether to let the Timberwolves sign him.But at that time, he was not the team's top card, and the team should still be swaying whether he or Kevin Love should be the core of the team.

At that time, he did not have much confidence in hinting at Sanders.

But it is different now, he is already the core of the team in the true sense, and Love just let him play last in the opening ceremony.

Everyone knows who the true core of this Timberwolves team is. Whether it is the regular season or the playoffs, his performance is the team's best.

In addition, there are only 2 years left on his contract, and the last year is still a player option, which means that next season will be his contract year.If the Timberwolves want to renew his contract, they must do everything possible to please him.In this way, he has reason to ask the team to sign his good friend Beaubois.

The general managers of the NBA are all good people, so they naturally know how to please superstars.

In this league, stars are scarce resources and are the targets that all teams are fighting for, especially young stars who are in their prime.

"Tom, if we can really be teammates with you again, it will be a wonderful thing!" Beaubois sighed.

"I am also looking forward to joining forces with you. In Dallas, we lived together and trained together every day. This kind of life is really nostalgic!" Shou Ye closed his eyes and began to recall the bits and pieces of that year.

Some people say that when a person begins to remember, he becomes old.In fact, this is not always the case. Sometimes young people will also recall, and their memories are mainly of good things.

The few days of vacation in Guadeloupe, Beaubois' hometown, gave Shou Ye a great rest physically and mentally, and he felt very comfortable.The people here are very hospitable, the folk customs are simple, and the pace is very slow, it is really very suitable for vacation.

Shou Ye posted pictures such as fishing on Drop Island on his social media, which immediately sparked heated discussions.Some sunspots teased him that he went fishing early, and he was trash; while his fans liked, saved and reposted his pictures, concerned about whether the idol had a good time there.

In mid-May, Shou Ye left Drop Island and returned to San Francisco.

He didn't stay in San Francisco for two days before going to Nike headquarters in Portland, Oregon, USA, to shoot a commercial there.

Shou Ye is already familiar with shooting commercials, and there is no sense of unfamiliarity at all. As a celebrity, shooting commercials is commonplace.

Nike still didn't provide Shouba with signature shoes, and he didn't care.Originally, it was difficult for the center to have the opportunity to produce signature shoes, because the market relationship had to be considered.

And Shou Ye is not yet a top player in the league. If he is the MVP, maybe Nike will consider giving him a signature shoe.

NBA players who didn't make the playoffs or were eliminated from the playoffs are all living their own lives.Some go fishing, some are on vacation with their families, and some are training.

There is still some time before the free agency market, and many teams that have no chance to play in the playoffs are also beginning to plan for the future.

This of course includes the Timberwolves.

At present, the two All-Star players in the Timberwolves, Shou Ye and Love, both have 4-year contracts, and the last year is a player option.They both have two years left on their contracts.

With both of them almost certain to jump out of their contracts, next season is theoretically their contract year.

As the Timberwolves management, the first task is to persuade them to stay in the team.

Minneapolis is not a big city, and it is unlikely that big fish will take the initiative to shoot, so naturally they will not easily release the All-Star players who are in their prime.
