Before leaving the Grizzlies, Jiang Dongbing also explained some things to Jackson and David.

Based on Jiang Dongbing's understanding of Heisley, he will never let Xiao Ao leave the Grizzlies, so he will definitely give Xiao Ao a maximum salary in the next few days.

After O's son got the maximum salary, one of David and Jackson would definitely leave the team.

"If you want to leave the Grizzlies in the future, try to go east as much as possible."

"The body is the capital of revolution. You must pay attention to your health. Once you feel uncomfortable in your body, you can't force yourself even if you lose. Even if you win the game, you will lose your career."

"Don't be impulsive when doing things, especially Stephen. I don't think you want to repeat Ron's mistakes."

"In the end, don't put too much pressure on yourself. You have achieved great success now."

Jiang Dongbing said to the two proud beloved generals in front of him.

David is okay, as long as he has no problems with his emotions, no matter which coach he plays under, he will definitely be able to play perfect data.

But it’s hard to say that Jackson can achieve such a high achievement now is actually a very important factor for his teammates. If he leaves the Grizzlies in the future and does not have so many powerful teammates around him, his team’s record may not be very good. Jiang Dongbing doesn’t want Jackson to be depressed because of this, so he enlightens him in advance.

After chatting with the two for a while, Jiang Dongbing's phone started ringing.

"Okay, coach, then we'll leave first. I know you must be very busy at this point in time, and countless teams will contact you."

"If I were the team boss, I would definitely contact you as soon as possible. No matter how much money I spent, I would definitely invite you back." Jackson smiled.

...

After the two left, Jiang Dongbing answered the phone, but he didn't know who the caller was.

"Ging, I'm Jerry, God, I finally got you through. Since I got the news, I have been calling for nearly two hours!" The caller turned out to be Jazz coach Old Sloan.

Old Sloan and Jiang Dongbing are also old acquaintances. They have recruited Jiang Dongbing before. After Jiang Dongbing left the Grizzlies this time, Sloan didn’t even say hello to the team boss? He called Jiang Dongbing directly.

Because Sloan knew very well, the boss would definitely agree with this kind of thing. You should know that since the Jazz started the team in the mid-1970s, it has never tasted the taste of a championship. If Jiang Dongbing could get it, then they would have hope of winning the championship.

As for how should he handle himself as the head coach after Jiang Dongbing comes? Sloan has already prepared for "high promotion"? Either become the general manager or the president of basketball affairs.

In fact, some famous NBA students do not want to be general managers or presidents, mainly because the coaches have higher salaries.

Not only Sloan is looking forward to Jiang Dongbing joining? The Jazz veteran is even more so? The combination of old Malone and Stockton, their desire for a championship has reached a madness.

"Jerry, didn't I tell you last time? Jazz is not within my consideration." Jiang Dongbing said helplessly.

In addition to the dry climate of Salt Lake City, the main reason why Jiang Dongbing did not want to join the Jazz was due to the Utah Double Evil.

After joining the Jazz, it is difficult for me to deal with these two veterans.

When they create a lineup like the Grizzlies, what should these two veterans do? Sell them? The Jazz fans will definitely not agree.

Put it on the bench? I guess these two veterans won’t agree.                                                      �

Moreover, Jiang Dongbing is even younger than Malone or Stockton. It is hard to say whether these two people will obey Jiang Dongbing's management.

So the Jazz is definitely not within Jiang Dongbing's consideration? No matter what Sloan said about the flowers and flowers? Anyway, I just don't go to the Jazz.

It's not just the Jazz? Jiang Dongbing does not plan to join any team with a team soul-level figure in the detachment.

Sloan was not giving up and talked to Jiang Dongbing for a long time, but Jiang Dongbing just didn't let go. He was joking. You can't be soft-hearted, after all, it's related to whether he's comfortable in the next few years.

"Okay, Jiang, but in the end I want to ask you something, I hope you can promise me."

"If Carl or John wants to join your team, get a championship ring and end your career, I hope you don't reject them." Sloan said.

Jiang Dongbing nodded, he could agree to this matter.

When Malone or Stockton is willing to leave the Jazz for the championship ring, Jiang Dongbing will not have any psychological burden if he asks them to play as a substitute, and they will not have any objection.

However, Stockton is probably going to die in Jazz, so Malone is really likely to come here to get a ring.

"Okay, Jiang, thank you."

"You are a person who keeps your promises. I'm sorry that you were not invited to coach us Jazz." Sloan sighed.

For bigwigs like Sloan who have a significant position in the league, they can easily find out why Jiang Dongbing left the team and know that Jiang Dongbing had a conflict with his boss Hesley because of the Spurs.

Sloan put himself in his shoes. If he put himself in Jiang Dongbing's position, he would probably not be able to stick to his promises like Jiang Dongbing, but he would not be able to make a promise like Jiang Dongbing.

...

Just as Sloan's phone number was hung up, Big Bird's phone number immediately came in again.

"Jiang, what are you busy with? Why don't you answer my phone?" Bird was impatient. He probably called for a long time after hearing his tone.

"Larry, don't tell me, you are here to invite me to join your team," Jiang Dongbing said angrily.

"Otherwise? Of course I invited you to join the Pacers. Is anyone faster than me?" Bird asked curiously.

"Sorry, Larry, the walker is not within my consideration." Jiang Dongbing didn't want to waste his time, so he spoke directly and refused.

The reason why they don’t want to go to the Pacers is actually similar to that of the Jazz, and it is also because they have a team spirit in their team.

If these team spirits are very young, Jiang Dongbing may not have considered it, but most of these team spirits are old men now. With their strength, in fact, this Grizzlies are definitely not as good as the starting player of the Grizzlies.

But if you are really young, you can't be called the team spirit.

"Hmm? Jiang, it's too insignificant for you to say this. I treat you as a friend, and you just rejected me like that."

"Don't you want to hear the quote from our Pacers?" Bird said dissatisfied.

"I don't want to, Larry." Jiang Dongbing smiled bitterly.

Jiang Dongbing actually didn't know how much quotation the Pacers could give, but he knew clearly that the salary given by a team like the Pacers, which is not a rich man, would definitely not be too high.

"15 million US dollars! 15 million US dollars a year!" Bird shouted.

Jiang Dongbing was shocked, not because the price was too high, but because Bird's volume was too loud.

The Pacers are actually sincere enough to be able to give an annual salary of 15 million US dollars. After all, they are not a team with great wealth, so they probably clenched their teeth and snatched out the money.

However, such a salary is not attractive to Jiang Dongbing. He is confident that he can get a higher salary in the "free market", not to mention that the Pacers themselves are not within their considerations.

Jiang Dongbing doesn't care about this salary, but Bird cares a lot, because his annual salary is only three million US dollars now. If Jiang Dongbing comes to the Pacers, he may have to lose his annual salary as the team's general manager...

"God, Jiang, this is an annual salary of 15 million US dollars, don't you think about it?"

"I'm honest, if someone is willing to give me an annual salary of 15 million, let alone let me be the head coach, even if I can go back to the court and play for 48 minutes every game, I'm willing!" Bird said in an exaggerated tone.

"All right, Larry, if you want to play on the court, no one wants it. What can you do now when you are playing? Run back and forth with others? Or you will be on the court and swear trash to people?" Jiang Dongbing said angrily.

...

The two teams that called the first were the Jazz and the Pacers, two teams that they were not interested in at all.

Although it was a bit sudden when leaving the Grizzlies this time, Jiang Dongbing had thought that he would leave the next home after leaving the Grizzlies.

A coach like Jiang Dongbing is no longer the team who chooses him, but he is here to choose the team.

In addition to not wanting to join some teams with team spirit, Jiang Dongbing also wants to go to the East to take a look, that is, join an Eastern team. However, Jiang Dongbing has not yet thought about which team it is.

...

What surprised Jiang Dongbing was that since Sloan and Bird called, no other teams have contacted him.

"Did they not get the news?" Jiang Dongbing thought to himself, but this idea was quickly overturned. The Jazz in the West and Pacers in the East received the news. Other teams must have known that they had resigned.

This matter is very strange. Jiang Dongbing began to doubt himself, and did he overestimate himself?

As a result, Jiang Dongbing knew the whole story that night. It turned out that the reason why other teams did not contact him was because they all called him, but they all had no fun. As a result, the group of people rushed to Vancouver without stopping.

For a time, Vancouver City was at the moment when the league's big players gathered. Almost all the team's highest-level management teams gathered in Vancouver to have an interview with Jiang Dongbing.

The two closest teams to Vancouver are the Portland Trail Blazers and the Seattle Supersonics. The Supersonics just announced the dismissal of head coach Westfar a few days ago, as if they were predicting the uncertainty. They are now vacant in the head coach position, so they naturally do not want to miss this good opportunity to have a pie from the sky.

As for the Trail Blazers team, head coach Mike Dunleavy is relatively experienced, but looking at the Trail Blazers lineup last season, he couldn't even bring the Trail Blazers into the Western Conference Finals. The team's boss Paul Allen is naturally extremely dissatisfied with this.

I spent the most money in the league, but ended up with such a record. Anyone who had to be satisfied would definitely not be satisfied.

Now that Jiang Dongbing has become a free agent, Paul Allen is not willing to miss such an opportunity no matter what.

Before the future Clippers boss Ballmer entered the NBA, Paul Allen was the most valuable boss in the league. His value was as high as 20 billion US dollars. The total value of the bosses outside the league's top ten is not as good as Paul Allen alone.

Like the bosses of Jiang Dongbing before McCaw and even Heisley, they were all minions in front of Paul Allen.

He is rich and willing to spend money, so he never causes trouble for the team. In important games, he always comes to the court as a fan to cheer for the team. It can be said that a boss like Paul Allen is definitely the dream boss of the NBA. Except for the fact that the Trail Blazers' market is not big, this team can hardly find any problems.

...

At Jiang Dongbing's residence, two middle-aged white men were sitting in front of Jiang Dongbing and chatting and laughing, and they could not tell at all what they were about.

But the fool also knew that the purpose of these two people today was to invite Jiang Dongbing, the great Buddha.

One is Trail Blazers boss Paul Allen, and the other is Supersonics boss Howard Schultz.

Schultz's net worth must be incomparable to Paul Allen. It's worth less than one billion US dollars, not even a fraction of the net worth.

But Schultz is still very famous. He is the chairman and CEO of Starbucks Coffee.

Some people may be curious, is Starbucks' market value only less than one billion US dollars? This is not difficult to explain. In fact, Starbucks is not owned by Schultz, he just owns some shares.

"Jiang, we sincerely invite you to Seattle."

"If you come to our Supersonics, you can drink coffee for free in your life. In addition, we have prepared you a salary of no less than 15 million US dollars." Schultz said to Jiang Dongbing in a joking tone.

They have already reached their level, who cares about whether they are coffee or not?

"Sorry, Mr. Schultz, I'm used to drinking tea." Jiang Dongbing also joked.

Supersonic also gave an annual salary of 15 million US dollars, which made Jiang Dongbing a little curious. How did he discuss with the Pacers and give the same price?

However, the possibility of coincidence is even greater. Jiang Dongbing's annual salary was 10 million US dollars before. Since he wanted to express sincerity, he naturally had to raise the price. If he directly raised 20 million, many teams would not be able to get this price, so he might as well give it a discount and give it 15 million.

Paul Allen, who was standing by, almost laughed out loud, "Howard, I said, your cups of coffee can't buy ginger."

"As for your annual salary of $15 million, I think it's a bit underestimating Jiang De's value?"

As the team owner whose total salary of the team was almost twice that of the Grizzlies last season, Jiang Dongbing, in Paul Allen's heart, is definitely worth much higher than this 15 million US dollars.

Schultz was a little dissatisfied, "Paul, I'm more curious about what kind of contract you Trail Blazers have offered for Jiang?"

Paul Allen laughed, took out the check book from his arms, and placed it in front of Jiang Dongbing.

"Fill it out."
