Curry and Miller went to Los Angeles to participate in the press conference and welcomed Wang Jun together with the boss and general manager.

After seeing the news, Yi Jianlian called Wang Jun in China and was very happy.

He and Curry have long guessed that Wang Jun may join the Kings, and they are still very excited about the official announcement.

It's not just because he has a good boss who can play in the playoffs and even win the championship. And playing next to Wang Jun, his confidence can be a little stronger, his position in the team is guaranteed, and he may get a bigger contract extension in the future.

Stojakovic saw the news at home and immediately contacted his agent, David Berman.

"David, have you read the news about Wang Jun's comeback?"

"Of course, do you want to go back to the king? He is the only superstar in the king now. After resting for a year and a half, his state is uncertain. I don't recommend you to do this."

Berman is not optimistic about the king's prospects, and agents like to consider issues from a financial perspective.

Peja said sternly: "I know it is difficult for the Kings to win the championship, but with Wang Jun at least I can fight. The most important thing is that winning the championship and retiring in the Kings has completely different meanings to me."

He had a bad time with Webber, and was dissatisfied that the management did not renew his contract with a high salary, but he had a deep affection for the Kings. After leaving the king, he never proved himself again.

"The Hornets may not give up on you, you can wait for next season." Berman continued to persuade.

"I am willing to negotiate a buyout with them and give up part of my salary. Anyway, I am no longer a starter." Peja's attitude is very firm, and he doesn't want to wait for a year.

He is in the final year of his contract, with a salary of $14.25 million, and is no longer a member of the Hornets' main rotation. The terms of his contract include a 10% trade deposit, so he can easily get his full salary, or half of it if he agrees to a buyout.

Previously, Peja was dubbed the "Competition Soft-legged Shrimp", and after wearing this hat, his career has been on the decline. He is no longer short of money, but short of honor.

Berman was silent for a moment. "You really decided? If the king can't win the championship, you will regret it."

"I won't. I will stick with my old teammates until I retire. I know they will go back. We had a chance to win the championship in 2002...I want to beat the Lakers and win back what belongs to us! Money is not the most important thing!"

The well-paid Peja still wants to go back,

Others will certainly give it serious consideration.

Bibby originally planned to jump out of the contract and enter the free market, looking for a strong team to hug his legs.

For the king, he hesitated a little, but after receiving a call from James, he immediately made up his mind. James chatted with him on the phone.

"Go to the king, believe me, you will get the championship ring."

Now apart from the big news that Wang Jun joined the Kings, people are most concerned about whether James will leave the Cavaliers and join other teams. He has not indicated that he will renew his contract.

Knowing what to expect, Bibby contacted an agent.

"White Chocolate" Jason Williams was the neatest. He directly asked his agent to call Jeff Petri and expressed his willingness to join with a basic salary. Today, his strength is only enough to be a marginal player, and he may not be needed by strong teams elsewhere.

Berman called Hornets president Ball and proposed the idea of ​​a buyout.

The Hornets can't win the championship, and Peja's mind is no longer here. By laying off him, the Hornets can free up salary space, sign up in the summer or save money. Bauer didn't force people to stay. Why would people with high salaries and low abilities keep him?

If you can find a second-rate star to join forces with Paul, it can also stabilize Paul's mood.

The situation of the Hornets is very bad now. The boss is not in good health and wants to sell the team. Paul is also dissatisfied with the team lineup. During his injury last season, the Hornets were uncompetitive.

Byron Scott was fired at the beginning of last season, and manager Ball took over his position, leading the team to play in a mess. The Hornets have to try their best to find a good coach in the summer, otherwise Paul would definitely not want to stay.

After Peja was waived, the Kings agreed to sign him a two-year, five-million contract with a player option for the second year.

Bibby and Williams have basic salaries, and they are basically unable to play. They can still work as a substitute, mainly relying on experience and shooting to help the team.

Wang Jun also called James Posey. The contract with the Bulls expired, and he was willing to join the Kings with a basic salary and fight for another year.

Miller renewed his contract with the Kings for 3 years and 10 million. The last year is a team option. As a veteran, he is willing to die with the Kings. 10 million is a price to show respect.

In just one week, the Kings renewed the contract of a veteran and locked in four new players.

However, most of the basketball experts in the major media and fans on the Internet are not optimistic about Wang Jun.

The "anti-kings" have reached the peak of their careers in the past two years, laughing at Wang Jun's whimsy on the Internet.

"Have you been resting at home for two years? Joining a bad team like the Kings and want to beat the Lakers? Without good teammates, it's a question of whether he can make the playoffs in the West."

"I bet Wang Jun won't make the playoffs. There's less competition in the East. He still has a group of good teammates. He's nothing in the West."

"The veterans of the Kings have been fooled. How can a bad team win the championship? Next season will prove that Wang Jun is the most overrated player in history."

"The Indians got sucked in by Wang Jun. Curry's defense is bad and he only knows how to score. How many points can he score if he doesn't have the ball? Wang Jun just wants to find a place to sign with a high salary and play basketball with his brothers."

For Martin, this is the worst news. He and Wang Jun have overlapping positions, and the No. 2 position must be replaced. It is impossible for Wang Jun to go to the small forward position for his poor confrontation and defensive colander.

Martin's agent proposed a deal, wanting to go to a team that can make the playoffs, not to a place with a particularly poor location.

Jeff - Petri had decided to send Martin away, so let him rest assured.

On July 9th, something that shocked the entire league was about to happen. LeBron James made a live talk show called "Decision" on ESPN.

Wang Jun was stunned when he heard about it. He called and asked, "Are you crazy? If you want to leave, just go quietly. I'm afraid the fans won't hate you enough with such a high profile?"

James complained: "I don't want to either, but it's not up to me to participate in this event. It's the result of discussions between the program group and my business team. They think it's a win-win situation."

The host Gray's career on ESPN is coming to an end, and he needs to use some opportunity or something to save his position. After talking with James team CEO Maverick Carter, they found this opportunity.

James just played a persuasive role, which seemed a bit stupid, and his purpose was to use the show to raise an advertising fee for charity to promote his charity activities.

That night, about 10 million people watched the show where James made his "decision."

For most of the first half of the time, many experts were interviewed, and did not directly say where James was going. After half an hour, James finally gave the answer.

"I'm going to take my talent to Sacramento and join the Kings."

The host asked: "Why? Why choose the king?"

"Wang and I are very good friends, we will be very happy playing together, and we are also confident to win the championship."

The audience were all stunned, and only then did they understand why Wang Jun said that winning the championship was so easy and full of confidence.

Playing brother basketball, his brothers are not only Curry and Yi Jianlian!
