Chapter 536 James: I Decided to Use My Talent... (Third Update!)

In this way, the Spurs, Grizzlies, Pelicans, Rockets, Mavericks, the new season in the Southwest Division is even more tragic than last season.

The signing of the Spurs once again set off a storm in the free market.

At the same moment, Anthony, who was unwilling to be lonely, announced that he had narrowed down the scope of his next home to the Heat, Bulls and Knicks.

At this point in time, most people already have a rough judgment on the next free market situation.

Basically, the fate of Anthony determines the fate of James.

Rumors of a connection between the Heat and Anthony also came from Woj frequently.

The possibility of a new generation of brothers basketball making a trip is very high.

At this time, news of other signings in the league broke out one after another.

Aldridge refused to renew the five-year 108 million contract with the Trail Blazers in advance. He will implement the option in the last year of the contract and wait until next summer to test the free agent market;

Pierce signed with the Wizards for 11 million in 2 years;

Irving renews his contract with the Cavaliers in advance for 90 million in 5 years;

James and Wade communicated on the plane, but Wade didn't know James' current choice;

Anthony announced that the Bulls are out, he will choose between the Knicks and the Heat;

...

Just as the news continued in the free market, the information of the other two veterans also attracted attention.

After Ray Allen won the championship with the team, although he has no plans to retire, he announced that he will not play in the NBA next season.

Obviously, after the Heat won their second championship, Jun Zilei's career is almost complete.

Almost at the same time, Nash also announced his retirement on Twitter, officially ending his career.

The two-time MVP winner, Son of the Wind, a man with his own system, failed to win the championship at the end of his career, and withdrew from the NBA stage with a trace of regret.

While the fans sighed and sighed, they also inevitably sighed that the stars at the beginning of the century had come to an end one after another.

The time came to July 12 unknowingly, and the gate of the free market has come to an end.

"LeBron, are you sure?"

In James' private residence, Rich Paul gave James a final confirmation.

James nodded.

Seeing James' move, Paul took out his mobile phone and sent a message to the staff who had been waiting at Sports Illustrated.

After sending the message, he took a long breath, then got up and hugged James.

"It's going to be a new beginning."

Paul spoke.

James nodded with a smile.

The outside world feels that he has been silent, waiting for Anthony's decision, but it is not always the case.

He was waiting for Riley, or he was giving Riley a chance.

If the Heat can form a sufficiently competitive lineup, he will still choose to stay.

But Riley hadn't done anything except wait for him so far, which made him finally make up his mind.

He has been a supporting role for so many years, and finally became the leading role this year. He will not want to experience the previous life again.

So he made a choice, like Paul said, it would be a new beginning.

An hour later, Sports Illustrated released exclusive information.

The content of the message is very simple, but it is more powerful than any previous message.

James confirmed his return to the Cavaliers.

Later, James confirmed the news through his ins.

Woj also followed up and reported that Cavaliers owner Dan Gilbert and James and James' agent Rich Paul met in Miami last week. Their meeting lasted 4 hours and settled the issue of James' return.

James is expected to sign a four-year 88 million contract with the Cavaliers, and the Cavaliers will "meet all of James' requirements."

After this news was released, it also triggered a series of events.

As a close friend of James, Wade didn't know James' final decision until this time.

"We've been friends since we first came into the league and have developed a very close relationship over the past four years, and for me, both personally and professionally, the partnership between the two of us is It's so special."

"LeBron made the right decision for himself and his family, because home is where your heart belongs. I know this is not a decision that can be made lightly. I support him to return to his hometown."

"As a friend and teammate, I am saddened to see brother LeBron leave the team."

"But as an organization, as a team, I'm happy that we've accomplished what we set out to do when we signed together, and we're championships."

Wade issued a statement in which he blessed James, but his heartbreak and disappointment could be felt between the lines.

For The Flash, as a friend, leaving is not completely unacceptable, what is unacceptable is leaving without telling me in advance.

At the same time in Cleveland, the fans who had gathered outside James' mansion to burn or tear James' jerseys came here again.

Many of them, wearing torn jerseys, are here cheering and celebrating.

After James left, the Cavaliers got 3 No. 1 picks, but so far there is still no sign of rising.

The return of James is undoubtedly the biggest reinforcement, which is even more valuable than the three No. 1 picks.

Just like the NBA is a business field, there are no permanent enemies and friends, and most fans are just sloppy.

And just an hour after that, Mike Miller followed in James' footsteps and joined the Cavaliers.

Barkley, one of the Big Three of TNT, also spoke quickly.

"I'm Jamie for life from now on, and that goes beyond basketball."

Barkley then said that he had been in the NBA for 30 years, and James leaving the Heat and returning to the Cavaliers was the most exciting thing for him.

Social media was paralyzed afterwards, and the fans' comments reached an unprecedented peak.

"Fuck, this is even more exciting than Bosh going to the Rockets. It was agreed to bring more championships to Miami, so it's gone?"

"My eyes are going blind. This is the first time I have seen a team core leave the team immediately after winning the championship!"

"I don't understand, I really don't understand, this is unreasonable!"

"Don't be an afterthought. I actually guessed the ending after Bosh left. The Heat have been silent in the free market. The Heat's strength has plummeted and they are no longer the favorites to win the championship. There is no reason for LeBron to go back."

"It seems true to say that, James is not only a player, but also a businessman!"

"I feel so sorry for Wade. His statement, as his closest friend and teammate, only learned of this news just like us..."

"I treat you as my best friend, but you treat me as an ordinary friend?"

"But the Cavaliers aren't good either. Irving is okay, but besides Irving and Bennett, the top pick, there is also a rookie Wiggins?"

"Don't worry, Gilbert has said that he will meet all of LeBron's requirements, and there will definitely be follow-up transactions."

"Tsk tsk, brother basketball is over, is this hometown basketball?"

...

ps: I made some revisions to Chapter 557 and added Bosh's part. I wrote that part before, but because it was stored in my notebook when I went to Hangzhou, I missed it when I uploaded it, so I added it back, and everyone will go back and read it Once will do.

Thanks for the reward that the night is really quiet and the whole body is white.
